your line quality really stands out to me, also in your submission for lesson 1. can i ask, have you practiced a lot? and if so, how? because i just can't seem to draw consistent lines. hmm my handwriting is terrible as well
Yes, I practice drawing every weekday for 2 hours, and every weekend day for about 5 hours. I have done this since the start of 2020.
The main way I have practiced my line quality is by doing master studies of my favorite comic book pencillers, and really work on matching their line weight and strokes.
Also the rock studies themselves helped a lot. Doing a lot of this tight hatching, I had a lot more control near the end of the rock challenge than in the beginning.
I had nice handwriting before I started drawing, though. XD
that’s awesome. hmm i have a few more questions but i don’t want to spam your thread. are you on the dab discord?
Yes, I'm WendyB on there, as well.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
