Kim Jung Gi is in a league of his own

13 Jun 02:07

John

That guy is a human printer!

13 Jun 02:07

Hobitt

yeah i think study of anatomy is important so you can start inventing poses

13 Jun 02:07

John

If you're Kim Jung Gi.. That's an entirely different story!

13 Jun 02:06

John

But it has it's merits.. Maybe that's why people keep on studying anatomy just because it's so widely used.

13 Jun 02:05

Hobitt

like i sed feel free to ignore this i probably sound like a lunatic when talking about this

13 Jun 02:05

John

Yeah! But, it's not like I'm going to be using rust repeatedly haha!

13 Jun 02:04

John

Going back to the rusty car, I know what it looks like in my head. But, telling me to draw that at gunpoint, might as well shoot me right in the head!

13 Jun 02:03

Hobitt

but try really hard to see it in your head

13 Jun 02:03

Hobitt

i would say study it and right after that try to repeat it from memory/imagination the exact same thing

13 Jun 02:03

John

Laying those two down and pulling it off distinctly I mean..

13 Jun 02:02

John

I know how silk looks like in my head. I know how leather looks like. But laying those two down on the canvas was pretty darn hard

13 Jun 02:01

Hobitt

fundamentals and reference should help to extract the vision not the other way around

13 Jun 02:01

John

I stumbled upon this problem.

13 Jun 02:00

Hobitt

i remember before this skill was weaker i couldnt visualize as good, i think ill come up with some exscerises to try to improve this.

13 Jun 02:00

John

I was doing material studies just recently

13 Jun 01:59

Hobitt

i think that way the end results is more convincing

13 Jun 01:59

Hobitt

but can you change the view of this scene or change the aspects

13 Jun 01:58

John

But the thing about that is... What I have in my head doesn't always equate to something beautiful

13 Jun 01:57

Hobitt

well i try to draw that

13 Jun 01:57

John

Sure

13 Jun 01:56

Hobitt

well lets say i say to you " a rusty red car next to a tree in autumn" do you see some sort of image in your head

13 Jun 01:55

Hobitt

i dont know perhaps i jsut came up with some pseudoscience bullcrap or something , but i think its important, feel free to ignore this completely

13 Jun 01:55

John

Probably has a photographic memory

13 Jun 01:55

Hobitt

N.C. Wyeth: “Every illustration or painting that I have made in the last thirty years has been done from the imagination or the memory.”

13 Jun 01:54

Hobitt

Wyeth quoted a teacher of his, Charles Reed of Boston in advising him: “the faculty of memory has become a lost function among American artists. He (Reed) blamed much of the lack of mood and imagination in their work to this fact.

13 Jun 01:54

Hobitt

ive dug around to find any quotes for this

13 Jun 01:53

Hobitt

it hard to describe but if i draw with a blank mind not only the results look stiff its not even as enjoyable as when i actively engage with my mind

13 Jun 01:52

Hobitt

yep

13 Jun 01:51

John

Have you tried nailing down a couple of thumbnails?

13 Jun 01:47

Hobitt

meanwhile i once again trying to reminds myself to visualize in my head everything i draw. If i don't do that the results look bad everytime

13 Jun 01:45

Hobitt

as long as the title makes sense in the context of the narrative
