Okay, so I remembered this article on muddy colors and thought I'd try it out
http://muddycolors.blogspot.com/2012/07/...acing.html
Its about tracing and well, I spent a few hours tracing today, taking notes of some other artists drawing and what do you know? it teaches you shit. It teaches you how to stay consistent with things and pay attention. But I wasn't copying just contour, I was adding contour lines around every single form.
Doing that you'll notice a lot of pros even can't keep 100% everything three dimensional. I mean like hands, arms, torsoes everything, ALOT of it gets flattened. Wow, really makes ya think! And I'm sure even these I did today have some inconsistencies in the form and perspective, but man, tracing is quite cool, try it out!
But I'm not showing you any of my tracing, I spent hours on it today. It's tedious, a lot of labor if you will, like wrapping really tight lines is work, and boy it makes you pay attention. Made me anyways :) Lets see what I can try tomorrow...
