haven't posted here with my daily drawings before, but i did a year of doing them back in 2021-2022, and started doing it again the first of this year. i finally got a scanner so i can share them with more than just my spouse. the rest of this year's drawings can be found here: https://www.are.na/s-s-zefdu3w0yii/daily-drawings-2023 background: i do them all on regular 8.5x11, with the same roughly 4x7" bounding box, and muji 0.38 black gel pens. occasionally i use a blueblack or a 0.5mm, or get real wild and use copic neutral greys, but generally just the black 0.38s. they aren't always good, but i'm always glad i did them. anyway, today:

HopperUK posted:I love this but that is a *huge* source image, haha mb, bad habit of setting high dpi. uninspired drawing because of staying up way way way too late digital penitence posted:I haven't drawn in a long time. The whole AI thing has depressed me and killed any desire to create anything for a while. i love how you did the shirt -- it's both draped and crisp at the same time, and it looks rad.

IkeTurner posted:Are you basing these on any source material, or just freestylin'. freestylin mostly. i look up reference pics if i'm trying to figure out how to draw something specific (plants and earthy stuff generally), but for the most part, it's whatever feels right in the moment. i start with a pencil underlay (i've used the same 4H tombow pencil for like a year and a half lol), just to lay out the directional flow, block out areas, and set up perspective details. i don't have training in traditional fine arts drawing, but i do have training and about a decade of experience with technical perspective and design sketching, so i use perspective and blocking with primitive volume shapes a lot. from there, it's just a lot of texture, markmaking, etc. I try to keep it pretty loose and gestural, as kind of a gently caress you to the structure and precision of technical drawing. :v

i know this was a few days ago, sorry for the delayed reaction! i get mad chromatic aberration from my glasses and the edge effect here is so disorienting and spot on. i keep moving my head around to try figure out what's actually in the the drawing vs caused by my glasses. it's rad 8)

Shinmera posted:Oof! What kind of glasses are those? Just a really strong lens, or something else? yeah, just strong lenses. might be from a coating or something, now that i think about it. i don't recommend it!

IkeTurner posted:Do you use/have anything in particular to come up with the ideas and structure for these illustrations? I'm curious about where you even begin to create these fantastic works. I hadn't heard of Andrew Loomis before, so ty, I'll check those books out! Most of my drawing education is from industrial design sketching. I don't have very deep fine arts education, so I'm not sure exactly how much the practices differ, but it focused a lot on technical perspective (which i love, and will always happily give perspective critiques on request), form/volume communication (eg using lines to communicate curvature changes and volume without exacting shading), and clear/confident linework (which i am bad and horrible at). I like Scott Robertson's books for industrial design sketching & rendering (How to Draw & How to Render -- not very inventive names, but they are really good resources for learning technical perspective and design rendering!). lately, i'm trying to focus on how a texture looks going across a form, and making it communicate the form more emphatically, because i lean on flat texture expanses way too much. but i try not to sweat it too much, because i like the meditative nature of just scribblin down scribbles and making them become a thing, and i don't want it to feel too much like work. i also aim to make things look vaguely grotesque, but my spouse doesn't think they are on that note:
