Frainfreezes's sketchbook

[frainfreeze]

After a week messing with a new graphics tablet I took a vacation from drawing. Like, I drew for few hours and gave up. Finnaly I decided to fight with laziness and produce some art.
Idea is to make 12 times x 12 weeks long self teaching / improvement course with a week free between courses ("week 13"). Reading books, watching tutorials, drawing both traditionally and digitally, and working out, studying for school, learning new skills and programming in pauses.

*****Desc*****
Mostly following drawabox.com , I like its teaching style
Master studies. Creating value thumbnails
and color ones using master art pieces. Mostly
just trying out how to blend, how to setup/create/modify
photoshop and krita brushes. 3 hours each

Drew traditionaly: lines, eclipses and boxes.
Starting with basic perspective

Drew spoons and lines to get hang of how to use the tablet - 
I still can't control the damn thing.

Drew some thumbnails.
It is very important to note that we should
draw sketches from imagination every single day,
we also shouldn't care if they look like shit
because it is normal. One should spend from 
half an hour up to hour and half on each 
(an hour straight would be best). We should make
to apply our knowledge because when doing them we
cover all the subjects we learnabout, value,
color, light, perspective etc.
