I’ve had trouble keeping up with daily drawing at home. So I’ve been doodling on a sketchpad at work to keep the habit alive.
Made this out of concern that other students in my online college would take my joke literally.
I tried to draw it again using my own art to trace, came out poorly, so I decided to walk it back and just glue the sketch back in the pad with better handwriting for the joke.
Maintaining the habit is coming much easier. All I learned before this stint (from draw a box and some proko skimming) is summed up in image 2. I think image 1 is showing good progress. Reading through 'drawing with the right side of your brain', i intend to read through 'figure drawing: design and invention' as well as 'color and light: a guide for the realist painter'
Does anyone have good advice, recommended material, or should I just keep chugging?
I saw another user's drawing of this pig and thought to try it so I could show a cute thing to my girlfriend. As I'm drawing I'm curious as to any critique, but particularly lines weight usage and how I might improve on that. I tried using deliberate line size in one, but felt happier with the variable size pen in the other image.
Critique appreciate!
I wanted to begin sharing my art here; for a long time I thought doing strictly practice would let me draw the things I wanted. Unsurprisingly I didnt make great progress ny repeatedly falling off of drawing due to a lack of gratification. I'm having a good time now though! The time-lapse within the drawing app is just so cool to see!
As an addendum, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around lines of action. Does anyone have personal examples they could use to explain how they understand it? The normal sources like proko leave me wondering if I understand it at all.
