Welcome back Neo and Eyli! Hermi, glad to hear you will be joining us this time! @donm : I have already heard so many people expressing confusion / and or disappointment at the hand drawn element (even the second half of the CC team!) ....it makes me realise how incredibly lazy all the technology at our disposal has made us. Doing it by hand will force you to use your fundamentals and design skills, not rely on something else to do it for you. The end product might not be as good as if you photobashed, but damn you will learn and improve 10x more :)

Eyliana

And a few days later I at least found a store with pencils. Buying new watercolour set was just too expensive

08 Jul 06:19

Eyliana

Haha, trying to notice something new everyday :)

08 Jul 06:18

Brian Hermelijn

Or deep observation :o

08 Jul 06:18

Brian Hermelijn

Yeah, definitely can be sad. On the bright side, hope you did mental sketching hehe.

08 Jul 06:16

Eyliana

Ja, that was when I just found out that I didn't have them. I was sad

08 Jul 06:16

Brian Hermelijn

08 Jul 06:15

Eyliana

I actually planned on takingmy watercolours with my on vacation, but forgot to pack them in the end. :(

08 Jul 06:15

Eyliana

Ja, warm ups are good :)

08 Jul 06:11

Brian Hermelijn

the first hour of drawing is usually warm ups (things you will cringe at), so I gave that a go, and sure enough after like an hour long or so, I started becoming more slow and in the zone.

08 Jul 06:10

Brian Hermelijn

Oh. I tried to go off for 2 weeks off of the internet couldn't do it.. but! 1 thing that I learned (applied after listening to ahmed latest video about motivation is)

08 Jul 06:09

Eyliana

Just trying some boxes after 2 weeks of not so much drawing, my lines are rubish >.>

08 Jul 06:08

Brian Hermelijn

Hahahahhaha.

08 Jul 06:07

Eyliana

That.. sounds... complicated :D

08 Jul 06:07

Brian Hermelijn

Well its alien architecture (this will get my sorry ass to try something I haven't done)

08 Jul 06:07

Brian Hermelijn

@Hermi; I have always done watercolour for the CC's, and I think traditional is allowed so :)
