@CHARLE: Thanks for saying that! it's encouraging to here this once in a while :). Keep on going yourself!
@nutriman: Hey man! I'm working through Scott Robert's How to draw. Great book, check it out if you can. It's very technical and not really a light read, but awesome if you really wan to get to the bottom of it, and everything is explained in a way that it makes sense in the end. Thanks for the recommendation! I never heard of it, but I will check it out.
@Eyliana: Yessss, the curves...My archnemesis. By now, I have filled countless pages with point-to-point curves, and I'm starting to see a difference. And you are right, looking back on those from a couple weeky ago, they look extremely pointy and not very much curved. Thanks for pointing it out to me!
@Triggerpigking: Heyyy, how's it going? Thanks for stopping by! I agree, the curves are shitty :P. In the past I used to shy away from doing freehand curves at all, and I still avoid them in a way. Yeah, you're absolutely right, drawing with the whole arm made it soo much easier! I kinda forget to do warmups, and every time I get reminded is when I'm already finished or in the middle of drawing. And the perspective study you mentioned...to be honest, I just got lazy at that point. That's why I switched topics then, so I can actually take away something from the time I invest.
Been a while since I last posted. My computer broke and it took some time to get it fixed. The uncomfortable truth is, I'm completely addicted to the thing, the time I was without was spent mostly lying around min front of Netflix.
But now that I have it back, I can get back into my art routine. Here's a sketch of some kind of a plant, that I might use in a piece later (or not). Also the sketch of the plane in the sunset, which for me alsmost counts as a speedpaint and a wip of a ghibli-inspired thingy that I plan to animate a little.
