lol@tdr Ive been watching your progress and although some of this advice may not interest you, this is what I beleive would be the best step from here. I would greatly suggest drawing from life at this time. Take random objects from around your house, other people, whatever. You need to make a solid foundation for any further improvement and the best start would be to work on your basic contours and mass in your drawings. Some of the most important stuff in a drawing happens right at the start and thats where you should start practicing. Line quality, displaying mass with contours, legebility, proportions, all that good stuff. This way you immediatly get rid of some of the problems that stand out most. For example, in this picture, the whole thing looks extremely flat. Lines are the most important way to show forms, shading helps bring it out, but a flat contour will totally wreck any shading no matter how good. Most problems with art these days is people completely skipping the foundation of drawing and going right to the end. If you take a good amount of time just learning to draw you will be surprised how much it improves your art in general and how much easier it is to do any form of studies. It may be a bit rough just doing studies, so you can still do drawing you enjoy but dont let that be all you do. Every time you make a mistake in art, the further it gets into your routine and the harder it is to work out in the process. To practice line quality just start with lines. Thats all, use as few lines as possible to define as much as possible. Confidence in single strokes help display form and make the picture more legible. Try drawing inanimate objects first, ones with lots of angles. The more you see something, the more you automatically presume what it looks like (thats why people are so hard to draw) and end up making it incorrect. Work that stuff out of your head, clear your mind, and start that shit up. |
