What do I do when, even after ghosting the lines before drawing them, I still can't connect the two points together?eithef the lines are wobbly, straight but inaccurate, or it faints before reaching the next point.
If you have to choose between confidence amd accuracy, always choose confidence.
Accuracy is not in your bucketlist for now. Sure, it would be nice to have it, and yes, you will try to work towards it in the future, but it is not in your checklist.
Your first and foremost priority is confidence. You need crisp, straight lines, drawn from shoulder in a single decisive stroke after careful ghosting. Like a slash of blade, drawn fast and without steering midway through.
Just continue working through it, there are no "good" or "bad" results here, only if it follows the exercise rules or not. Get a clean, crisp line; and after that you will start calibrating your accuracy.
thank you so much
If your lines are wobbly, you are hesitating or you are still unsure where the stroke will end. If the line is straight but inaccurate, all you need to do is continue practicing. If it faints before reaching the point, you are lifting the pen/reducing pressure before it reaches the end point or using the pen at an angle.
Go over lesson 1 again, they talk more about this in more detail.
Okay. Thank you.
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
