Ohh great for some reason yesterday typed a bunch of text but then the forum died on me and everything got deleted so... TAKE 2
Yesterday was not productive. I kept deleting every attempt at drawing from imagination over and over because it looked bad.So i started questioning why , and i think i came to a logical conclusion, its quite simple almost too simple. I just don't draw from imagination enough, i did some math and in these 4 years i on average made 25 pieces from imagination thats not a lot meanwhile i did probably up to hundreds of "studies" and it shows they actually improved because i invested so much time doing it. It makes sense right? if you keep doing something you will get better, and i haven't been drawing from imagination almost at all, a good example would be i studied anatomy quite a lot ( even studying some right now) and in theory i know all the muscles and proportion and can even draw decent gestures and studies, but when i sit down to draw a figure from my head that knowledge suddenly is not there and everything looks off, and i think the reason for this is that i haven't draw enough figures from imagination and there are countless examples of this. So i think its time to change my artistic diet, instead of doing gesture i will mostly do figures from my head instead and shift my focus towards imagination drawing which i want to be good at and if ill see a gap in knowledge ill fill it up quickly with a study and carry on. IF IM HAVING THE WRONG IDEAS DO LET ME KNOW. But at this point im running out of ideas. I will continue studying anatomy since i want to finish the book im going through and ill do quick still lives those are always good.Also i think i need to abandon the idea of these bloodsports being potential portfolio pieces they won't be since i dont have enough experience to make them good enough i just need to do the best that i can and after doing a bunch of stuff from imagination over and over i will get better? So expect a tidal wave of shitty imagination drawings and i already feel uncomfortable about drawing from imagination which is good, as it was once sed the thing you are most uncomfortable about you should do the most. ( side note started learning a bit of zbrush very nice software its a good learning tool and just fun )

Actual quick study
Pathetic attempt at a sketch after messing about with zbrush
