Thanks, and I think you are right about the overthinking part, its like tension building up and the more i ghost, the more tension.
But I realize now, after rereading the part and reading the tips, the important part of ghosting is musclememory, that is something you do subconscious.. So I'll have to find out while doing my exercises. Thanks!
Thanks,
I realize my lines are sometimes much better and confident in my warming up....
Thanks for the tip, I keep in mind the tip to shake it of when it doesn't work anymore.
Hi,
Thanks again for helping me. If I reread the part of ghosting, I think the importend thing is to build op the musclememory and I think I overthink it...
i did not quite understand the 50% rule at first. I had to think about this a moment... But I realised the 50% rule is as much important as the course itself. This 50% rule is not about the outcome of the drawing, its about the process itself, to enjoy it again, take on your fear for failure of outcome. Its not ment to be perfect, draw again, evolve in the process, learn and just draw, without worrying about the outcome, because if you succeed the first time, you did not learn new things. the 50% is about also loving this part of being an artist, so you are open to learn. its ok to make mistakes. Each of us has his own obstacles to overcome, and this you will find and try to overcome in the 50% ... after years of practice you will still think it is not good enough, but that is ok, that is the urge you need to get better. it doesn't mean you did not evolve. just check the first and last drawing of a year for example.
I don't think so, it is best you draw all the exercises with fineliner pen or, if by any reason you can get your hands on a pen, a ballpoint. So ea stroke is permanent and can not be erased. You have to respect the lines you make and ghost as much as possible. I know its hard, i have to learn it myself to accept the lines and not always correct them myself but that is part of the lesson. good luck
thanks for the critique!
thanks for the critique, it is very helpfull. i will take it into account.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
