Well, it's been quite a while since i've posted anything. I was in hospital. I had not really successful surgery but im alright in the end. I couldn't draw in May cause i had to prepare for that surgery, then after all that i had to take care of my other stuff. Since i finally got back home after a really long trip(about 4 months) i decided to draw some digital art. It was a pain in the GAS if you know what i mean. I didn't really know the software and my skill were pretty much useless. I started to draw some sketches and learn how to color. This is what manages to make theses sketches along toom me a week to finish. I finished this course "Learn to Color with Clip Studio Paint with Kurt Michael Russell" to be able to color the way i did.

I have something to say about my experience about digital drawing. In my opinion a screenless tablet is not a good tool for drawing. The main issues is that i can't properly use the techniques i have learned for drawing free-handed. I can't draw an ellipse the way i want it to be. When you foreshadow it you kinda see the image in your head when you look at your hand's movement but in case with the screenless tablet you can't see that. I can look at screen but the cursor doesn't move smoothly to see that image. It has some kinda delay, idk. It always turn out differently than I've intended it to be. Same goes for foreshadowing lines. It's not impossible to draw with the screenless tablet. If you have a good sketch than you don't need a screen tablet cause a screenless tablet does its job well. We also have all those tools that help us to draw clean lines. When you draw a sketch you do it free-handed, so this is where the disadvantage of screenless tablet kicks in. You can't foreshadow. Using tools for sketches is not really handy. It consumes a lot of time and you have to drag all those ellipses around the canvas when you could've just drawn it. I found a solution for myself. I draw sketch traditionally and then draw the line art digitally over a scan/photo. At the stage i am right now, it might be a skill issue but foreshadowing requires to be looked at when you're performing it, so i don't think, it's fixable at any rate.

About drawing Skyrim fun art. I wanna stick to don't starve. I don't know what's so special about it but i wanna keep drawing DST fun art. I wanna make animations like those dudes. They are incredible i wish could work in Klei as an artist who draws environment. I also started to study their Vignettes( that's how they call the loading screens). That stuff is the piece of art and i wanna try to draw something like that. I would never think of staring at lines as act of studying art but i think i start to slowly understand their style and soon i will be able to draw in the exact style. It's weird that they scribble a lot in their artwork. I was taught that it's a bad thing but i suppose if used right it can be used as a style. Anyway everyone should learn how to walk before running.

Right now i draw a lot sprites for my demo game. I and my friend decided to make a simple game to learn coding better, so i draw quite a lot right now but there is nothing really interesting yet to show. One thing for sure is that it helps me a lot to improve. I have to draw things i would never draw normally, so it's a good thing. I was experimenting with the art style and it didn't work well therefore i have to redraw everything. It looks really ugly. I thought using gouache was a cool idea for a game... yeah. The gouache.

This sketches i drew in the clip studio paint and it was some kinda experiment as well but it turned out pretty well in my opinion. It's all i got for now. Unfortunately i will have another break in studying art soon cause i will move to another city and it won't have time for drawing for at least a month. I will try to find time for that but i don't really know if that will be possible. I will need to earn a lot of money to buy stuff like dishes, table etc. It will take time to earn those money.

I start to like drawing a lot. I think im good at it, so maybe i will become an artist one day and do it for the living. Who knows.

About finishing the lesson 1. I don't know when i will do it. I don't wanna rush it ether, so maybe at end of this year i will manage it somehow. Man perspective is tricky. What i like about drawbox is that they tell me what i suck at, then give me some information to start with. After that i can dive pretty deep into the subject. This is what i want the drawbox to be. I want it to be grind ground where i can just work on my weaknesses till perfection. Im really pleased with how my challenge with 150 sheets of ellipses have turned out. I can draw really solid ellipses. I keep drawing them time to time tho. I will share the pics once i finish the leesson 1. If it will be possible.. I already have about 200 sheets. That's hella lot. I might be i won't be able to upload this much. We'll see about that in the future. Now i have nothing else to say.
