I just look at references, and then draw from them. On days where I can dedicate six or more hours I use the wacom tablet for further shading. On days where I have 1 - 2 hours I just end up using a pencil for the whole thing.
Ok Seb, you have to stop
because you're doing it wrong
First you have to train "an artist eye" which means you must learn to see and accurately replicate feature lines, curves, angles and proportions
Give all of your possible time to draw and perfect it
a very good way of doing that is to pring some picture, hang it upside down and draw from reference
Thats what I'm doing XD
that way your eyes will not have a lot of familiar forms to recognize
I draw from reference for every single drawing I do.
thus you will not try to draw simplified models and just focus on the lines
Listen to el jefe's wisdom
because in the last sketch you sent the proportions and the relative position is all over the place
it shoulds take more than 1-2 weeks to fix most of it
also dont do shading on portraits
instead draw spheres, boxes and other primitives on a plane with a light source, thats how every art school does it
our brain is bretty good at estimating how primitives are shaded so it will be easy for you to teach your hands
you can make a quick replica in blender for reference at first
Well shit, I thought I had finally curbed symbol drawing....
I cant draw fow shit anymore because I didnt do it for 6+ years
and even back then I was a starter
start with primitives
then move on to draiwng fruits or some shit
and keep us updated
avoid smudging as much as possible, it always looks like shit
even if you do it with another peice of paper
Pretty much where I am shading wise on the wacom.
you like them thicc huh
The reference was thicc.
you chose that reference
Yeah, she had a ton of dedicated reference images for artists.
do this
and this
then this
trust me, it will improve your skills significantly
Alrighty. I'll take a go at it for tomorrows drawing stream.
yay for reason
I need to get better at paper shading as it is 😄
