is the shrimp method effective?
is the shrimp method effective?
You should definitely draw a shrimp. Then post it, I want to see some skrimps. Show me them sea bugs.
In all seriousness I can't speak to the efficacy of that method in particular, but from what I can tell it's really just drawing from reference, which is a core tenet of this course. Regardless of any differences, trying the tackle the same problem with different approaches can be an extremely effective method of learning not only how to do the thing in different ways, but learning what works and what doesn't work for you in particular. Everyone learns at difference paces and in different ways - the more ways that you try, the broader your understanding can become.
So yes, draw a shrimp. Try the shrimp method. If it doesn't work out to your liking, try the DrawABox way (starting from simple forms and building up complexity in multiple passes). Then try another method, and another, until you find something that works for you. Just don't forget to have fun!
should i post in imgur with references?
or not
yes please!
and ive already made one
I want to see the skrimp.
cant post anymore sorry
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.
