2017-08-24 06:54:45 UTC  

Lmfao

2017-08-24 06:54:53 UTC  

Holy shit its 2 am

2017-08-24 06:54:55 UTC  

sorry, I have tourettes

2017-08-24 06:54:58 UTC  

Bai nigguh

2017-08-24 06:55:11 UTC  

goodbye bro

2017-08-24 06:55:52 UTC  

I end up using paper to outline what I'm going to draw, because wacom accuracy is a pain. Then I scan it in and shade/colour it.

> not using vector software for your lineart

2017-08-24 06:56:21 UTC  

why even bother, man

2017-08-24 06:56:38 UTC  

The lineart dissapears entirely in my end results.

2017-08-24 06:57:25 UTC  

So scanned in pencil/paper paper works fine.

2017-08-24 06:59:50 UTC  

why not use what real pro's use?

2017-08-24 07:00:03 UTC  

And whats that?

2017-08-24 07:00:33 UTC  

etch a sketch

2017-08-24 07:02:19 UTC  

Maybe it's just me but I would recommend you focus a little more on pencil art first so you get the hand of it and then move to digital

2017-08-24 07:02:35 UTC  

That's just me tho if you can handle both then that's great

2017-08-24 07:03:25 UTC  

Sarai is right

2017-08-24 07:03:29 UTC  

focus on one thing

2017-08-24 07:03:39 UTC  

the kill God

2017-08-24 07:05:47 UTC  

Yeah, I certainly need to learn about this whole different kinds of pencils thing.

2017-08-24 07:06:40 UTC  

Would probably benefit things like this too

2017-08-24 07:07:44 UTC  

It looks like you apply symetrical shading to both sides of the line

2017-08-24 07:07:52 UTC  

thats not how shadows work my dude

2017-08-24 07:09:46 UTC  

Yeah, I'd literally just draw a line and smudge it, because pencil shading breaks my brain a bit. In some cases I know a person can use an eraser to simulate lighter sources, but my erasers are rather large,

2017-08-24 07:10:01 UTC  

if it does, dont do it

2017-08-24 07:10:14 UTC  

what book are you even following??

2017-08-24 07:10:57 UTC  

Sorry for criticising so much, but I see a lot of really bad habbits in your learning curve

2017-08-24 07:11:16 UTC  

Pro tip: cut off a small portion of your eraser

2017-08-24 07:11:46 UTC  

That way you can easily erase small things

2017-08-24 07:12:15 UTC  

Pro tip: stop killing trees for your doodles and use your god damn wacom

2017-08-24 07:12:21 UTC  

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.

2017-08-24 07:12:38 UTC  

Ok Seb, you have to stop

2017-08-24 07:12:45 UTC  

because you're doing it wrong

2017-08-24 07:13:34 UTC  

First you have to train "an artist eye" which means you must learn to see and accurately replicate feature lines, curves, angles and proportions

2017-08-24 07:13:52 UTC  

Give all of your possible time to draw and perfect it

2017-08-24 07:14:03 UTC  

a very good way of doing that is to pring some picture, hang it upside down and draw from reference

2017-08-24 07:14:14 UTC  

Thats what I'm doing XD

2017-08-24 07:14:27 UTC  

that way your eyes will not have a lot of familiar forms to recognize

2017-08-24 07:14:46 UTC  

I draw from reference for every single drawing I do.

2017-08-24 07:14:46 UTC  

thus you will not try to draw simplified models and just focus on the lines
