Adding a background via ink wash. This was not done in photoshop.  It's "denril" - which is translucent and lots of fun to draw on. I can't explain it other than to say it handles ink like nothing else. Still getting used to the surface qualities. Ink takes MUCH longer to dry out because the surface isn't very porous at all but rather slick / plastic.

Vermain posted:I've kept a record, whether digital or physical, of every single drawing I have ever done since I started drawing two years and change ago. Whenever I start thinking, "There's no way I can learn how to do this," I go and pull out one of the drawings I did two years ago and compare it to something I did even two days ago. It's a very good and very real reminder that I've been able to progress immensely through hard work and dedication, and that I'm not going to suddenly plateau and be unable to learn a new technique or master drawing a specific form. I have a record of almost much everything I've done, and while there's definitely noticeable change and improvement to three+ years ago, I struggle to see much of an improvement to the things I've done about a year or more ago([1] [2] [3]). Some things are different, but I can't really tell whether I like what I'm doing now more than what I did back then. I guess I don't really have a solid idea of what I really want, nor how to figure that out, so I keep on stumbling around somewhat blindly. Vermain posted:If you're seriously struggling with the confidence to put thought to paper, it's never a bad idea to go back to the absolute basics. Whenever I start struggling with things like anatomy and form, I go back and practice the simplest possible methods of construction - boxes, spheres, cylinders, etc. - and apply them to the form I'm attempting to draw. The times where I get in trouble when drawing are usually because I've succumbed to hubris and thought myself above simplifying a torso as a box or drawing some perspective lines or looking at reference. If you've been doing it for 30 years like Glenn Vilppu or Steve Huston, you can get away with not always drawing things to look like a box to begin with, but for us casual schmoes, constantly brushing up on and adhering to the basics is the best thing you can do. I always use a sort of skeleton to help me draw people and to figure out how to construct stuff. It's just that, despite this, I still somehow can't get it quite right a lot of the time. I don't know-- for a large part I also fear that I might be just whining and should instead bite the bullet and do a ton of practise sheets. People like Boulet that can just shake a complete drawing out of their hand without any sketching underneath are incredibly impressive. dupersaurus posted:First, define what "there" is, and milestone if need to. This will be difficult because personal style is, well, personal, and you'll be tempted to look to other people and go "I want to be X". Resist the temptation. Learn from other people, but don't Buffalo Bill them. Yeah, that's definitely a good point. I think I've managed to steer clear of just imitating another's style so far. Figuring out what I actually like about a drawing can be pretty tough in an of itself. Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks! On to thread-related content: It's getting pretty cold out, and I'm enjoying the weather.  While I like the line thickness being constant, I think it would be worth it to try and incorporate different levels of thickness as I did here. Probably could expand on that more, though. I still feel like I don't have a good grasp on what kinds of colours fit together; should probably get back to trying to get into painting to start on that.

Maybe experiment with a medium you're uncomfortable/unfamiliar with, like brush and ink, watercolors, pastels, markers, whatever. Using different materials can make you see your art and style differently and help. Do you ever try to actively break your style? Most of what's in this post are very... pointy, angular. Try to do the complete opposite: only use curves, or do an entire drawing with a single line, or try pointillism--literally anything that isn't what you're already doing. I don't mean to say it's bad--it's not, and I like your drawings, I think you're figures are fine--but I think everyone needs to buck their own trends and do something completely different every once in a while for a new perspective. You put more detail into the figure's bodies while the faces are very simple, so maybe do a series of JUST faces with as much detail as possible. Or make your figures sit, or do a handstand--something dynamic than just a simple standing pose.

 I'm still very new to drawing. This is a just line by line thing while watching the new season of Fargo. I usually like the inky pens that create hard lines and very black and white boundaries. Using the pencil has sort of forced me to confront shading and texture. Something much more to learn about. Drawing more had made me realize the skill of some of you guys and especially the painters you would go to the museum to see. I can't comprehend how they have such a mastery of colours and shadows. I'm definitely having fun but I know I have to at some point try to replicate something real rather than bullshit stream of consciousness stuff.

this is by far the best thing you have posted in the thread. the biggest/most obvious criticism i have of your landscapes is that they are pretty flat and the elements vary from extremely basic to overly detailed/complicated. i think you will improve if you're much more strict with your palette - especially by paying close attention to change and variations in values - and keep it simple. the reason this piece works is because there are very obvious, clear, solid objects with form and depth. is it from a photograph?

There are websites that let you build a simple color palette as well as apps or sites that can take colors from other art or pictures and create a nice selection of hues for you. Just do a search for 'create color palettes' and you'll find more resources than you'd know what to do with. Krispy Wafer fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Nov 2, 2017 |

Felt like doing another scenery today. I feel like the way I placed the figure into the scene doesn't quite match up with the perspective. I couldn't quite make sense of it. Adding some more detail with debris and stuff might have also helped, but I felt like it might have gotten too crowded too, so I don't know. Overall I think it turned out quite alright, though. Franchescanado posted:Do you only draw digital? Maybe experiment with a medium you're uncomfortable/unfamiliar with, like brush and ink, watercolors, pastels, markers, whatever. Using different materials can make you see your art and style differently and help. I occasionally draw traditionally with pens and brush pens, though not as often as I'd like. As mentioned, I've been meaning to get into painting to break off from what I've been doing so far, but I have difficulty getting started. That's just me being a dumbass, though. The current style is what evolved out of a much more generic, rounded style, I suppose. I was actually interested to see how things evolved, so I put together a selection of drawings of the past four years: [warning, big] Sharpest Crayon posted:It's me, I'm the person quoting from forever ago, but here I doodled a couple of quick & easy ways to do water with lineart: I guess my problem is more that, when combined with the rest of the scenery, it often ends up looking rather muddled, making it much harder to discern.

I own half a dozen painting and drawing apps. If you're just starting out save yourself some money and buy Procreate. My only complaint is the palette system is clunky and I've had trouble getting stuff to import. Everything else is desktop level functionality.

I want a palette system that feels like Corel Painter or Coolorus App for Photoshop. I'm a professional digital artist who works on a big Cintiq all day- I just felt a little annoyed that the price of Procreate went up a few bucks once the new iPad pros came out - holding out to see if they have a black Friday sale. I'm also thinking about trying Astropad out - it syncs the Pro with your Mac. Unfortunately I use a PC at work, but it might be handy for my home Macbook setup!
