Hey,
I was wondering, seeing as how the last time I didn't enjoy the art of drawing anymore by doing a lot of studies, how to maximize both. So keep it fun but still study the hell out of it :)
So I reconsidered where I went wrong the last time and the thing is we all want to create awesome pieces. But by doing only head sketches for a week and then torso for a week and so on I didn't get time to do fun drawings.
Now, I like to draw comic characters, mechs / robots and alien like stuff.
What are the general thoughts about taking exisiting stuff, from comics or magazines etc, and try to recreate those scenes / models? Not just by laying the page on top or something but by building from the ground up. And then try and do it slightly different, angle-wise or even changes in the design.
Would this be a good practice or not?
