i got an apple pencil when i got an ipad pro a couple of years ago for like sheet music and practice stuff and decided to dust it off to work on learning how to art. i drew video game characters and cars and stuff when i was a kid but was never any good, took art my senior year of high school but that was a bunch of craft projects and i took every opportunity i could to bail on assignments except for doing a piece with stippling, weirdly enough. every night for the past four days i've sat down and worked on art stuff for about an hour to 90m. currently i'm: - working on drawing more confident lines and getting to sketching/perspective on drawabox - doing some gesture drawing learning at proko (i am very bad at this) - 30m of just loving around/doing a small piece the last couple of nights of loving around i've been drawing simple pokemon like voltorb or diglett and then painting them using a watercolor-style brush in procreate to see how close i can get to the 90s pokemon art style. here's tonight's diglett: and here's the least heinous pose from the gesture drawing session. feel like i'm flailing a bit doing this but every time i do it i feel like i capture more of the pose so it's headed the right direction, i suppose.

Nice! I've also been experimenting with gesture drawing (and just figure sketching more broadly) and have found it really rewarding. I aim to marry my eye and my hand, with as little thought as possible between them. Like a meditative thing almost. Regardless, I'm stuck as stuck can be these days. Trying to just slop some paint onto paper every night.

day 5 - did ghosted planes at drawabox. line confidence is improving. - some art friends pointed me toward line of action for practicing gesture drawing, so i did a session there. i think this is starting to bear fruit, i feel like i'm getting a pose which is recognizable and captures the motion of the figure more often now. - i had an absolutely terrible attempt at painting jigglypuff in a unique pose, then i decided to dial it back a bit and really invest like an hour into a still life of a pear. messed around with shadow color and really blending to get the feel of the values right. learned from the mistakes and successes, so as always, i am happy. here is the pear.

How do you find the pro and pencil combo? I've been looking at the Pro for a few weeks and debating cost and functionality. How accurate is the pencil to what you want it to do?

How accurate is the pencil to what you want it to do? i am in no way an experienced digital artist so grain of salt, but it's very classically apple in that it does the thing, it does it well, and it does it in the way you'd expect with no fuss. the screen looks nice and i've never been frustrated using the pencil in procreate due to a hardware thing. all my serious artist friends with a decade+ of experience are on cintiq and ipad pro combos at this point, and they pretty much all think if they gave up one it'd be the cintiq because the ipad pro form factor is so convenient it's a gamechanger. i pretty quickly found i wanted some kind of stand for the ipad so i got a sketchboard 2. locking the ipad at a 20 degree angle with two little legs on my desk like the mid-sized huions or wacoms is huge in terms of ergonomics and helps me draw better, more comfortably. now that i have one i can not imagine life without it. https://www.amazon.com/SKETCHBOARD-PRO-Black-11-inch-4th-5th/dp/B0CPTMM3JS art friends also said i should get a screen protector with a paper-like texture and recommended some that aren't 45 dollars from paperlike. i ordered a magnetic one because i am a disaster at applying screen protectors and i'm going to give it a spin.

day 6 if yesterday was fruit, today was beans - draw a box today was learning to draw ellipses. probably did, idk, 50, and three were really good. this number will go up with practice. - figure drawing i worked on learning to draw the torso bean at proko, and then i did a figure drawing session where i only drew a bunch of beans in 45 second intervals. i feel like i get a good bean and then i try drawing the centerline and it all falls apart. the way i've been approaching the proko stuff is i watch the first video explaining the concept, try it myself, flounder miserably, then go back and watch him do the assignments to see what i'm doing wrong to apply, and i'll do that with him drawing torso beans. - tried a still art of a coffee cup, was a failure - perspective was wonky and then i realized i was painting on the same layer as the lineart so i just spent like 5m roughing in some kind of shadows to say i completed an art piece today. one of the things i like about learning art is even the failures are engaging and you feel like you learn things from completing an attempt at trying something and missing the mark. i'm finding myself thinking about my experience learning guitar a lot while doing this - one of the things that can be frustrating about music is trying to play things just past your skill level and doing technical work can feel like a frustrating grind. in art, even the failures are relaxing, and i've been doing a good job coming away from them with actionable things i can work on. it's nice.
