Hi Cristina!
You can use references and any medium you like. There are no restrictions or boundaries of any kind. As long as you draw what you love without any concern for the final quality it's fine.
I think that what makes for the 50% fun rule is very personal in the end. With time and persistence you will find what you need to balance the time spent studying.
Hi!
thank you so much for the quick reply! this helps alot!
:)
I use an app called "sketch a day" for fun drawings.
It delivers a single word prompt each day at 5pm and you can work on the drawing and submit it each day. Lets you be creative about what to draw for each prompt. I often draw from reference.
Also, the community is nice and you can see what other members are doing.
its all free.
thats a great tip! thank you!! ?
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.
