StardustLarva's Visual Explorations

[Fedodika]

hey bud, i like these figure drawings! i notice a lot of things you study are very design oriented, and when you make imagination pieces they design oriented but really abstract? I can see the creativity, but the fundamentals hold back your vision's true uniqueness. And we all go through that, it never ends.

I think your figures are headed in the right direction, but i'm gonna give you some advice that alotta people might not agree with. See, i never studied perspective in like the mathematical sense, i learned it from that book i recommended to you a while back, the natural way to draw. I really reccomend you dig that out and blast through it dude; i mean get some cheap paper, like some notebooks, copy paper and stuff and a cheap set of ballpoint pens, markers, hell anything and just GRIND out the crap dude. Then every other day, do a drawing or painting that takes a little longer, maybe a couple hours, but at this stage just bang em out FAST!

Like, get hundreds reference of everything you wanna draw, and figures, hands, heads, all this stuff you'll be able to apply to creatures you wanna make. Scribble the shit outta stuff, then find where the muscles are. When you do the thousands of gestures niccolaides makes you do in his book, wrap the forms like wire around the drawing. THIS WILL TEACH YOU PERSPECTIVE. and it's VERY intuitive!

Also, try to imagine where the floor is when you draw anything, just indicate it like the bottom of a cube, with two lines, like this

And you don't have to share any of it, just do it, toss it, do some more. Draw on top of your drawings, look at the reference more than you look at the drawing. Read that BOOK DO IT!
