His stuff is pretty cute

I think my favorite artist is Brian Froud tbh

I'm a sucker for fantasy

Ya his stuff has a very art renisance look

He's one of the main artists behind labyrinth/dark crystal

But everything starts with drawing

He made the puppets and stuff for those

I love pen work tbh

Really he did dark crystal?

Thats cool

Richard A. Kirk is another favorite, illustrated one of my favorite b ooks

Yeah, Jim Henson gets a lot of credit but the style was mostly driven by Froud

I like Henson too though

Pen is still drawing

ya I know

I like doing pen drawings with no pencils

It can be close to painting tho

Have to get creative with mistakes

I should draw more often tbh, off of digital

I feel like I learn more when drawing on paper

Honestly learn perspective and drawing boxes helped alot

Perspective is fun. I'm pretty good with it on forms but I need work on my landscapes/backgrounds

I have more fun drawing backgrounds and landscapes with acrylics or watercolors though

Marcos zigzag aproach helps a ton

Digital... I drag my feet

My issue is mostly I am too focused on placement of individual things rather than the full picture

Hmm

So natural landscapes end up looking too organized or generally not right

Only solution is to draw them more but I hate doing it on computer

Cintiq or tablet?

Tablet

Not one of the ones with screens though

I feel

Tbh that's a problem I have in general anyway

Focusing on the parts and less on the big picture

I think zoom has ruined me on digital

I'm always zoomed into 20% or so

I just use a preset of sized brushes and i dont mess with the size

And i rotate instead of zoom

I just go into fine detail too often

Which is great
