Dev: Thanks bro, I'll figure it out one day lool
Sooo, gonna miss some drawing time tomorrow gonna help a friend in need; until then, here are some grainy low fi Hogarthe studies I did. The smaller ones are me trying to make myself draw, well, smaller.
For the majority of my drawing learning, i took up the entire paper to draw one thing, like a hand, often drawing so big that i couldn't even fit the whole hand on the paper. So, since it would appear to be a waste of paper to just go to the next sheet, i would draw on top of that drawing, since well there was a lot of open space still, and it was just lines. And then I'd draw another drawing on top of that, and eventually sometimes putting 4-6 drawings on top of eachother, it looked like a completely indiscernible pile of scribbles. I'm not 100% sure, but this probably cost me a lot of time that otherwise could have helped me. Maybe as much as a year's time.
I constantly feel like I didn't spend enough time drawing, but perhaps I did enough time drawing, I was just not doing it productively. I have mentioned before that I have two crates of used paper, maybe almost 3 now, and they each weigh about 80 pounds at least. After the past few months of this more focused regimen I'm doing and actually caring about lines and stuff, I began thinking...
Should I have done that volume of work with the approach I have now, I'd be pretty damn far along, maybe twice as far. I have literally done tens of thousands of sketches of anatomy, design, everything, and my stuff still doesn't show that. But I guess it amounts to something, as I have a feel in my head for what looks right, but were all those sheets of paper with scribbles in vein 100%? I don't think that could possibly be the case, but who knows, the mind works in mysterious ways.
