I've been doing digital art for about 14 years. 10 of which on a Wacom Cintiq. I think i've progressed well in digital art but i feel my fundamentals are lacking. and I have one crucial weakness in my art skills; I cannot draw from imagination. I have thus far only drawn from reference 1:1 exactly what i can see.
My ambition is to be an animator and that requires that I draw from imagination. I'm taking the courses in draw-a-box with the hope of getting my spatial reasoning and understanding of form well enough to be able to draw figures from imagination.
In preparation for Draw-a-Box I got a drawing table, sets of pens and printer paper. Making the transition back to traditional paper and ink wasn't easy and I think my first attempts at a lot of these were very clunky because of how unfamiliar the medium is to me.
I am prepared for harsh critique as I expect this is probably very sloppy work given how awkward my transition back to traditional is but I am committed to reaching my full potential as an artist.
