Hirvios/Noodle: Thanks yall are very correct on that heh.. I am struggling so much with this observation stuff its crazy. I feel like i have the observation skills of someone who's drawn less than half the time as me!
I'm gonna be trying to get this skull down from a distance from now on, at least 8 feet from me. Also gonna be working on making a drawing just look 100% correct with the angles and proportions. Observation is my biggest weakness and i feel it will benefit me immensely should i take my time and try to just get shit to look like the subject. Construction is fun and all that stuff, but i am tired of half assedly copying things and they be skewed or not even resemble the correct angle the thing is sitting on.
I drew this skull for probably 6 hrs today, just erasing, starting over, erasing again, I couldn't for the life of me draw a line that resembled the proper direction it was sitting on. The reasons the ones yesterday looked so shit was because the skull was 1 foot from me, and yes you do get tunnel vision doing that. I'm not ashamed of this one, but it still is not at the angle it was sitting, the drawing is tilted about 10 degrees from what it was IRL and the proportions are what i consider "made up." As in they seem satisfactory, but they are not what the subject actually is. If i could just figure this out, i could do anything, so that's what I'll spend this month doing
