Current Events > ITT: Drawing progress

(+) Yeah! (+)

I might have to go out over the weekend and buy more printed A4 paper. Or get it from Amazon.

---

I need to buy more equipment for the later lessons I've realized too. Well, onto Boxes! I'll upload my funnels too soon after more practice.

---

Some of my funnels. Starting was really rough.

Such a waste of a day today. Was not in the mood for anything. Not even gaming or movies.

Hopefully I'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

---

These boxes are much easier.

Nice dude!

---

Im gonna start drawing scrap pictures alongside these lessons, just doing the lessons themselves are boring if you just to power through them.

---

Damn, these perspective lines and points are pretty whack. It didn't go over my head but the half hour video was really informative. I really like how he explains it. I feel like I've learnt a lot tonight!

---

Bump

To keep track in this topic I've been using Drawabox. A really good informative lesson structure.

I've been on this for the past few days, doing the homework. Progress is slow since whenever I try to power through, I get burnt out and I stop enjoying it. So i'm being careful of that.

Did some doodles today, was trying to stick to using my shoulder a lot like that lessons told me to.

They're just random shapes and circles to enhance muscle memory on my shoulder. Also I've been weight training recently so this is making my arm hurt even more.

I should draw before exercising.

---

Progress is going slow and steady, but been pretty busy this week and will be next. Hopefully can put more time into this when things calm down.

---

Drew some more shapes. Will be done soon on this section.

---

Bump

---

I find drawing by pencil much easier than using Fine Liners. Anyone else get this? My lines and circles come out much smoother.

---

Having trouble with those vanishing points again. My squares are coming out so distorted.

---

Keep it going bro, you take steps back sometimes

Thanks man. Yeah I'm gonna take a break and continue later.

---

Anyone know of a good drawing tablet? I might start using mine soon after these lessons. I bought a XP-Pen Deco01 a few years ago but haven't even opened it. I promised myself to learn on paper first before even thinking about using a drawing tablet. Was the tablet a good choice?


---

Didnt do much today. Was super busy so I need to make up for lost time. Will post pics of progress soon.

All I see is blank pieces of paper

They weren't very good pictures I agree. And my drawing with pencil is not confident, as pointed out by another user, so it's only lightly drawn.

Whenever I draw with more pressure I make mistakes which arent easily fixed. Need to work more on that.

---

Make your mistakes. You learn more as an artist from your mistakes than anything else.

Fail early. Fail often.

I'll try harder. It's kind of like slight OCD when I see the mistakes but I'm learning more and more to let it go.

---

Sooo exhausted today. Gonna have to leave drawing for tomorrow.

---

Pretty much aiming to draw for realism instead of anime/cartoony style so even if I wanted to switch back and forth, I heard learning to draw based on real life is much better for learning the basics.

---

I was looking at my favourite artists and there is one by the name of WLOP that always amazes me. His art blows me away. I really want to aim for that quality and even if I will never get to that level, it still gives me motivation that art can look so beautiful.

---

Bump

---

Whew, gonna repeat a few sections. I'll post progress when im done with the whole lesson like the last one.

---

Found another artist called Ley Bowen on instagram. His art is sublime! Here he drew Ann from P5. Things like this really motivate me.

Just got a bunch of old art supplies from my sister before she moved out. Nice.

---

Bump, made small progress.

Still here

Thanks man. Changing up my schedule seems to be working. Doing the same thing at the same time every day sometimes demotivates me. Gotta keep on track.

---

Will be remodeling my room soon and thinking of buying a new desk. Any ideas for a good art table/desk?

---

I've decided to get two separate desks. One for gaming and work and another primarily for art.

This is a great idea. I'm currently using my desk as a computer workstation as well as a drawing space and I personally prefer to have a dedicated space just for art.

It's so much better for work flow. Good call.

Thanks. Just gotta re-arrange things and throw out stuff. I'll have my art desk placed somewhere close to the window.

---

Saturday is the day where I start rearranging my room. Then I'll have proper space to draw.

---

I need to de-clutter all my supplies. Also I drew some bits and bobs while I was at my desk, nothing worth keeping.

---

I usually use 80 GSM paper but I'm running out. Need to buy more. Is it worth using any other paper? What's the best for sketching?

---

I'll stick with the standard printing paper for the lessons and use my other paper for basic sketches.

---

Bump

---

Saturday I'll finally be remodelling my room, hopefully with a new workspace to draw more comfortably.
