Let me just share a back story:
Last year I was all over the place, I had no direction whatsoever. I was learning for the sake of learning. And I ended up hating the process along the way.
So by the start of this year, I decided to check the 3 to 4 artists I admire, and see what they have in common (Sylar113, Loish, Wildweasel, aeroscape) .
And illustration/environment is what they do most I haven't create an illustration piece nor environment . But in the period of Febrile till now I decided to focus on heads. Around 4 weeks ago, I added value and perspective, recently came back to figure drawing.
The resources I use:
Villpu Book and Videos; (Figure drawing, taking it step by step)
Ctrlpaint (Didn't start with it yet, but covers most digital stuff/basics)
Loomis (After villpu will start with this)
Michael D Mattesi (After loomis)
Ernest R Norling (Perspective) checked scott's but his way is so so technical to the point it makes it too abstract for me.
Richard Schmidt (For painting, haven't started with it yet)
Planning to join schoolism membership next year or new master academy this year.
Reason I started drawing is due of these artists:
Sylar113, WIldweasel, Loish, Aeroscape.
I truly admire the way they can capture peoples emotions with their art work. And I also see art as a personal discovery kind of thing. Like what Jeff Watts mentioned where after you reach a certain level, you start to go more into self discovery. Somewhat Noah Bradley is doing with his story "The Sin of Man".
So right now, I reached one of those ladders where I am asking myself, do I have a direction or do I not?
That's somewhat part of the story. As you can also see from the sketches from last year till now.
