OH MAN okay so like
drawing daily for a year is starting to daunt on me slightly
(no idea if thats the correct but wtv)
ITS FRICKING MAY
and i have literally zero creative ideas
i think i should the daily drawing less like a thing to push out to avid enjoyers of my artwork
but rather as something I SPECIFICALLY want to do
the whole of may was supposed to be an endeavor for practicing perspective and stuff
but i gave out literally day 3 im not kidding
i think it's just another april lol
just doing stuff that i want to do
but still pushing myself towards more vibrant colors and perspectives
oh and i have literally no idea if i should be saying this but like
i drew breasts
and they don't look half bad ..??
idk i never truly understood anatomy in a way that allows me to toy around and experiment
i've just been copying references and combining them and assimilating it into my own artstyle
i've done absolutely no studying whatsoever i just keep copying and it keeps working
vince is like "dude you took the reference and made something completely different" (this is in reference to jan 15; ami)
and i think i neglected to mention the countless other things i referenced
1 - find a reference image for the pose ur trying to draw; copy it and try understanding how everything functions
2 - find a reference image of WHO ur drawing; notice stylistic choices, clothing, textures and stuff
3 - maybe try looking up how those objects move; metal sheets are more rigid than fabric cloth
yeah idk i think i'm just rambling about things again
it's just i really wanna see vince and chaos and bunch of cool people pursue art but they keep getting discouraged
they think their art is bad and looking at myself i find it baffling how easy art came to me
like everything i had learned had kind of been intrinsically natural
ears are placed top of head,
you can split anatomy into easily animatable shapes,
here's how colors complement and clash,
here's a perspective guide,
start sketches first; you can create multiple if needed,
etc.
i never really questioned why all of these things worked
i kinda just took them and used it, trusting the process
it all became natural and just felt right to do it that way
but i know a lot of other people need both convincing and confidence in their ability to draw
vince keeping downplaying his art, saying "dang i can't draw"
but no progress is made if you keep doing that
and the advice that i gave him (to just sketch out the drawing first)
he hasn't taken particularly well?
idk i never see his sketches so maybe i'm downplaying HIM but
he always hops straight into line-art and it still shows in his sketches
almost all sketches to follow this specific pattern of
ANATOMY
