@Yukon Ive been trying to meld the two, a sort of semi-realistic comic art. I figure that if I could make it real enough, Id be satisfied. But I guess I might be fixated on that.

My issue has always been faces, I can never get them right.

That's why I only draw dogs 😂

Well you know I think you just got to find your style

I guess. I did this one with water and alcohol-based markers, then touched up with digital. It's actually two images overlaid on each other, then melded together to appear as one (I messed up the face on the second drawing, but that was basically the only issue I had with it)

The character is not mine originally. Its more of a fan art. The Star Wars aspect is mine though.

I'm working on converting it fully digital.

That’s pretty good

Learning art is definitely something I am dedicating myself to, since I have always appreciated it, but I get frustrated due to my perfectionism... I only see my issues and then I begin to lose hope until a random burst of inspiration comes along.

Same here 😂

I got some "quarantine special" instructional videos for cheap on things like light and shadow, the human body and other thing I felt like I needed to work on. I think they're helping.

That's good!

I'm not like super good at art (my sister's are literally professionals though)

But like they always say

Always remeber that such videos or classes should be just a guidline to learn the technique

Don't let it box in your creativity

Yeah. I've been figuring that out. The main one was light and shadow. But other ones helped me with things like proportion (that's the first figure that I've ever drawn proportionally correct).

For about $3 per video series, I'd say it's better than any of my art classes in school... except my college art class. Brilliant teacher who taught me more about becoming a better artist in 3 weeks than every previous art class I've ever taken.

Haha I always hated art class

Don't get to draw what you want to. My mom went to art school, and she says it kills creativity

All my art classes were like that too, except college. This guy literally got his teaching assignment a week before classes started, he refused to teach techniques and always told us a general idea of the assignment (draw something in this style, etc.) And he said what you choose to do and the subject is up to you. If you put in effort, its an A. It really took pressure off and helped with being able to develop your preferred style.

He also taught me how to merge my extremely logical brain with art. And helped me trust my emotions more (which may or may not have also helped with some things I'd been repressing).

School curricula is also the reason I hate writing, even though I love reading and can be good with writing, I always hated not being able to do what I wanted.... I am a very independent (and somewhat defiant) person.

Looking back at some old art I did a year ago

Space X suit for dogs. Got to update however because looking at Space X's Crew 1, some minor details I missed

Also yes RIP tail, but enclosing the tail looks horrible

looks good

New finished piece for my AP class 😁
