Hi Kort3,
I think this (https://imgur.com/a/2jgpfn3) is the best of my attempts, I'm really struggling to follow the lines once i get to those corner three, even with colour coding (which usually helps me differentiate easier).
I think to do this better I'd have to go digital, so I could control/limit what I can see.
thanks,
Nova
I used to be the same, if what I made wasn't what I pictured in my head, I struggled to get past that and lost interest. In all honesty, what got me out of it was teaching. I went into primary school and had to teach art and decided I would not mimic my own art teachers. I showed the kids art by artists that weren't photorealistic or the classic big names, art that looked achieveable, and we focused more on exploration and testing things out. And I discovered that I actually enjoyed art. In bigging up the kids and deliberating finding things I liked about their art, I began to be able to do the same for my own things. I also started to separate between, I'm trying to make this thing in particular, and I'm just making for the heck of it.
Check out different artists, not just the well known ones, start picking out things you like about them (even if its something small) the more you do it for others, the easier it is to do for yourself :)
I'd say it counts. I think the point of the 50% rule is so we don't forget the point of art, which is enjoyment, and to prevent burnout or losing focus/desire to continue with the lessons.
Hi Kort3!
Thank you for the feedback, I think the fraying on my overlapping lines may be because I kept swapping from right to left and left to right in direct (gotta love being a lefty whose instincts say keep hand off wet ink and years of writing say go left to right), but I'm working on staying consistent with my direction.
Really sorry about the missing exercises, could have sworn I'd added them onto the imgur album with the others, but must have missed it.
Hopefully the missing exercises and the extra ghost plane ellipses are in the attached link :) (fingers crossed!)
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
