Its art but there is a ton of stable techniques behind it

2018-05-24 02:39:53 UTC  

idk, i have never been able to shade well

2018-05-24 02:40:00 UTC  

I'm not sure what you mean by color

2018-05-24 02:40:12 UTC  

if you mean coloring in things, or if you mean choosing colors that go together or what

2018-05-24 02:40:22 UTC  

Neither did I till I took an art class and commited to understanding it

2018-05-24 02:40:41 UTC  

By actually coloring the comic

2018-05-24 02:41:05 UTC  

That is something we have not decided yet, if it is going to be black and white, or if we are going to color things

2018-05-24 02:42:21 UTC  

Art is basically like learning to write the alphabet with different styls being fonts

2018-05-24 02:43:22 UTC  

Pick an artist with a lot of work out and recreate their stuff till you get it then branch to your own style

2018-05-24 02:44:27 UTC  

It takes time to learn. It just sounds to me like you dont want to take the time

2018-05-24 02:44:30 UTC  

I understand that -- I just don't see why I need to learn how to draw, when that is what he will do

2018-05-24 02:44:58 UTC  

Putting all your eggs in one basket

2018-05-24 02:45:27 UTC  

And drawing is the hard part

2018-05-24 02:46:39 UTC  

How well can you draw

2018-05-24 02:47:34 UTC  

Got 2nd place in colored pencils in highschool art fair

2018-05-24 02:47:44 UTC  

District type

2018-05-24 02:48:09 UTC  

Can you show any examples

2018-05-24 02:48:18 UTC  

Took me 2 months for that one piece

2018-05-24 02:48:38 UTC  

And how long did it take you to work up to be able to do that

2018-05-24 02:51:00 UTC  

I dont have the picture anymore it was a hermit crab

2018-05-24 02:51:07 UTC  

Looked great

2018-05-24 02:51:32 UTC  

It was lile my second class the teacher was just good

2018-05-24 02:52:51 UTC  

Made us pic a nature picture that looked amazing to us. We would work on making it look like the picture and she would instruct us how to make it closer or better throughout the class

2018-05-24 02:53:31 UTC  

Everyone needs time to learn but it goes much faster if you have direction.

2018-05-24 02:53:53 UTC  

rip lol

2018-05-24 02:53:56 UTC  

You dont just start drawing how you want to easy from the start

2018-05-24 02:54:09 UTC  

and that sounds like a useful class wtf why didn't my art teachers do that

2018-05-24 02:54:12 UTC  

That was my biggest weakness at the start

2018-05-24 02:54:24 UTC  

and i know lol

if i could, i wouldn't need to learn in the first place

2018-05-24 02:54:44 UTC  

My drawing level is best described as Adventure Time but no sense of scale or proportion

2018-05-24 02:55:41 UTC  

Just pick an artist. Replicate their work. Then most importantly critique where you went wrong and keep it in mind for the next piece

2018-05-24 02:57:24 UTC  

Replicate how, on a sheet of paper by just looking at it

2018-05-24 02:57:26 UTC  

Tracing it

2018-05-24 02:57:29 UTC  

or what?

2018-05-24 03:01:07 UTC  

You can trace first to get it down but the more you free hand the better

2018-05-24 03:01:40 UTC  

I mean just recreate their work from scratch

2018-05-24 03:02:48 UTC  

Like if you wanted to draw like naruto author start going through some random volume re drawing every panel and make corrections after each one

2018-05-24 03:04:36 UTC  

ik it was just a suggestion but no thanks to naruto lol

2018-05-24 03:04:51 UTC  

i will think about that, i don't have much to do for the summer

2018-05-24 03:04:56 UTC  

so i could at least try

2018-05-24 03:06:11 UTC  

If nothing else Naruto would help with drawing hands to a rediculous degree
