bluehabit sketchbook

@Rotohail, Thanks for you perspective I appreciate it.

Sometimes I sketch like that but most of it is so bad I never share it. Like here are some sketches I was doing trying to get in the mood for Halloween. But just got frustrated and just kind of stopped. I just need to power through it and keep doing it. That is partly why I am so focused on drawing models in perspective cubes right now, so I can imagine poses from many different camera angles. I feel like even some of my favorite artists that I admire are stuck drawing things at limited angles: straight on, or relatively straight on 3 quarters view - me included.

Why did you get frustrated? Well the bat is looking fine! And the dragon also I feel. I would say if you do some construction you can fix some of the perspective/proportion issues. Then just gather some references to add details or extra bits of interest! Hmm well my experience is that you end up doing 3/4 quite a bit because they give you a lot bang for your buck, they allow for nice silhouettes and interesting variety, showing depth. Frontal are how we are used to see stuff thus why are more easily relatable for a viewer, less confusing. But you should do what you think you want for a piece, whatever that may be. That's my 2 cents anyhow.

Are those below also extra sketches you did? Those look quite good compared with the previous!

The HB pencil I like how it looks! it does look like a pencil! I want one but I use CLIP ha. I don't see an issue with the 3D model, to me looks like a scan of someone? Maybe I'm wrong. Anyhow studying poses is good but try to also do them from memory. A lot. And when you feel like some don't look right you study some more and try again. But I would say if you don't have a bit of confidence with construction is gonna be a tad hard to place things in space later, from your head, you should maybe do a bit of construction to begin with. How do you do drawing cubes and planes and stuff like that, that recede in view and so on?
