Hey!
Thank you for the suggestions chubby_cat!
I took a look at drawabox and I will probably combine it with Scott Robertson's How to Draw Book. But for the dynamic sketching of plants/fanimals I will stick to drawabox. That stuff looks pretty cool!
Over the past two days, I read and watched some Loomis/Proko and copied some of their stuff. In order to be able to apply it, I tried to apply the framework that is taught to some reference pictures.
It is really cool to see how the drawings immediately look more 'human' in a sense. Although the specific features look a bit off compared to the reference. I suppose I have to work further through the book to get a more proper grasp of the individual features. I suppose I could also spend more time on the individual faces as I only put in 30 minutes each.
As far as perspective stuff is concerned I finished the first homework of the howtodraw lesson. It became a bit tedious haha so I drew some more faces :)
Regarding 'drawing from the shoulder' thing when I draw longer lines my shoulder definitely moves my elbow joint around 5-10 centimeters but I don't know whether that is sufficient for the technique and necessary at all.
A question regarding the uploaded pictures: How large should they be so that the page does not take too long to load and yet are still visible? And is the forum attachment the way to go or should an external service (e.g. imgur) be used?
Thanks for stopping by and looking at my stuff! :)
