I loved drawing when I was a kid, but I stopped altogether for ... 15 years? Started recently drawing again and it's quite relaxing, even though it's stressful in a way (perspectives are really hard). Here are some of the sketches I've been doing (never mind the signatures, I apparently have some narcissistic complex that makes me sign sketches). Been thinking of going to an intro to drawing class, I'd love to learn a bunch in some days.             This beach one I want to work more on. Did I mention perspective is a bitch? Posting this here in the hopes that sharing what I'm doing will push me to do more  . I've lurked this thread for a while and I've seen some great stuff.

MTV Crib Death posted:Amazing. Do you have a ballpark estimate of the time that goes into something like this? Honestly it takes me way more time than it probably should, since I'm pretty terrible about doing proper thumbnails and preplanning, so I end up having to change a lot. I think that particular version is somewhere like 6+ hours (this is probably a low estimate) but with false starts and redoing the background when I decided I didn't like how the first version was looking. Speed's kind of a problem area for me but it's getting a lot better.

It's not free (it's usually costs about 8-9 pound a month) but there are plenty of places to get 3 months for free etc (Draw with Jazza often has sponsorships with them for this reason) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_BCcNKjza4 I'm coming to the end of my three months and I can't even begin to tell you how drat helpful it's been. Some people on here have said I've improved really fast (thanks Crayon!) and a large portion of that has been thanks to skillshare. I'll stop plugging now.

Do you ever look at art from two years ago and think "wow I've barely improved! That makes me sad." Cause that's what I did today

Here are some of the sketches I've been doing (never mind the signatures, I apparently have some narcissistic complex that makes me sign sketches). Most of these are great starting points. The fresh produce you drew has pretty good perspective, and the beach is good too, but it feels like you've sketched it very roughly and quickly. Encourage yourself to take more time shading and creating shapes. The drawing classes I've been to recommend taking some time to view a whole scene and then start mapping out lines of perspective very lightly so that you can use them as guides to draw actual things over - having just a few guidelines will help keep everything in proportion. You should try and find drawing channels on youtube and other places, a couple of good ones are Proko (lots of figure drawing and practical theory) and Circle Line Art School (lots of perspective stuff, some videos with step by step instructions). The main thing is just to practice, also look at others drawings etc and see if you can identify stuff like the vanishing points in their work, after a while you can spot where people have made errors in perspective and how they cover stuff like that up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIglV0xXAIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EPNYWeEf1U

Broke the paints out for the first time in awhile to do a test. Acrylic on gesso board  Was having my usual problems with even application and sharp lines when I had (I think) a revelation that I've been waiting years to have: why am I using heavy body paints for flat layers? Surely a quality thinner paint would work better? I also touched up the lines with a paint marker, which felt like cheating, but hey it worked

Bought some cheap oil pastels at the art supply store to try to bridge the gap between painting and drawing. Found it pretty frustrating (kept smudging blue and green parts in where I didn't want them) and I kinda cheated with pencil contours but IT DID NOT TURN OUT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT and this is a minor victory.

'Sad.' So, right, today. First the boy falls asleep taking up the entire drat sofa like a cat, and then he goes and moves just as I get into drawing him. Rude!  Also, I can't stop playing with the blender sketch thingy, it's like minecraft with infinitely more options. You think you're done, then 'just a quick tweak here', 'wait, kill this half-done render, I want to tweak that bit'... This was meant to be just a five-minute thing.

 Still drawing chickens. Still watching Hellraisers. This took me two days because halfway through I got the blue screen of death (that hasn't happened to me in YEARS) and I had too re-install my tablet drivers afterwards and after that I sorta lost all will to draw. Lost no progress though because artweaver is some kinda magic wizard when it comes to restoring files.

d3c0y2 posted:Like the photography plan says it includes Photoshop CC for 9.98 a month, however the single app option is 19.97 a month. So my question is, is why is that second option twice the price? Is the Photoshop CC in the 9.98 plan got cut-down features? Or is that 10 pound extra purely for the "Includes 100GB of cloud storage, your own portfolio website, premium fonts, and social media tools" benefits?

These two were my favourites. The first one because it looks like a cloth ninja and the second one because KITTY but also, you've done a good job with proportions on it. You're off to a good start! You've got the eye for the shapes, now you just gotta teach your hand. I would first of all focus on improving your lines - it's ok to "pet" the lines when sketching, but try your best to learn to drawn long lines in a single stroke to eliminate the "hairiness" when you go over them to strengthen them (or inking obvs). Don't worry about getting it wrong or wobbly! A confidently drawn wobbleline will look better than an uncertain sketchy one. All the mistakes are actually artistic expression. Man we don't see enough butt drawings in here, thank you for bridging that gap. If you wanna go in between painting and drawing, there's always those goddamn terrible watercolour pencils that are terrible and hell, have you tried them? Hey, this turned out real nice! (I love that turquoise and the gold goes so well with it) My biggest bother with acrylics was line control too, I cheated my way out of it by thinning the paint loads and using a watercolour brush, and if I didn't get enough pigment on I'd just go over the same spot several times. And hey, using markers is not cheating, it's called Mixed Media. It's good to see you back and dealing damage! I think you let Trump off easy tho. I love how you've built up the features on his face with the colours. Unflattering angles sketching is the correct response to couch theft. Next time snap a quick pic so you can instead curse the fact that he JUST NEEDED TO MOVE when you pointed the cellphone at him 'cause he's been looking very scenic for a solid 5 mins and not twitching a muscle. I honestly read this as glutamato monodisco several times and was thoroughly confused as to why glutein tomatos would need to disco. Now I'm confused why Gandalf is talking about monosodium glutamate. I took a break from little chickins to draw teeth
