so use all the tools you can

Sure I'll use rulers and ellipse guides to tighten things up (like my girlfriend's vagina), but I wanna be able to freehand it too.

18 May 19:33

Hobitt

for example if you plot perspective YOU BETTER NOT GET IT WRONG

18 May 19:33

Hobitt

sometimes you need 100% accuracy

18 May 19:33

Mechanizoid

No, but they can be used like crutches.

OH GOD JOHN. You'll get Mechanozoid started

Mechanizoid

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

18 May 19:33

Hobitt

rulers and all that stuff are not cruches

18 May 19:33

Hobitt

try to draw freehand straight lines on a3 paper

18 May 19:33

Amit Dutta

Just draw them perfectly in your mind...

18 May 19:33

John

Amit seems to be doing a lot of fucking nowadays haha!

18 May 19:33

Mechanizoid

rulers bleh

18 May 19:32

Mechanizoid

I find my favorite tools are a pen and paper and i HATE rulers

18 May 19:32

Hobitt

yeah i think to use both is important

18 May 19:32

Mechanizoid

lol

18 May 19:32

Amit Dutta

I have done nothing but use crutches the entire time. Fuck the purists :P

18 May 19:32

Mechanizoid

same way as how you get to Carnegie Hall

You can ghost a few times if they're giving you issues. But drawing perfect ellipses with hand might take a ton of practice

18 May 19:32

Mechanizoid

dats what I'm doing

18 May 19:32

Mechanizoid

So I won't buy them until I won't be leaning on them like an crutch lol

18 May 19:32

Hobitt

well practice then

18 May 19:31

John

@Mech I see. I'm digital, so I slap an ellipse tool if I really need it to be accurate! Haha!

18 May 19:31

Mechanizoid

Yeah, ellipse guides, don't have those yet. I want to be able to draw smooth ellipses freehand like Feng Zhou though anyway. :-)

18 May 19:31

Mechanizoid

Hard to draw well

18 May 19:31

Hobitt

just practice
, bought ellipse guides so since then dont really bother

18 May 19:31

Mechanizoid

may not be that way for everyone

18 May 19:31

John

@Mech Hard physically?

18 May 19:30

Mechanizoid

Well, I find ellipses of a fatter degree harder to draw, and so does Scott Robertson

18 May 19:30

Hobitt

because reasons

18 May 19:30

Mechanizoid

fatter ellipses

18 May 19:30

Jun

Is it..? I've been drawing a lot of ellipses and I don't find them harder to draw.

18 May 19:30

Mechanizoid

no, ellipses of a wider degree
