SamuraiSingh - Art School Journey

[SamuraiSingh]

@kalienator Thanks I really struggle with line art and dexterity and want to work on it
the advice is really helpful

[SamuraiSingh]

I do rush too much and need to be mindful to slow down my lines

I feel like I draw too mindlessly. I started to fix my mistakes recently but that also feels a bit like
I am not fully paying attention. So I am going to start making notes and focus on fixing my mistakes to make sure I am actively focused when drawing.

Making notes is really helping me process my mistakes and see how to improve

Was gonna add some shadows but it looked really off so I stopped at that point

I have spent alot of time making notes and reflecting on my work.
When drawing this I realised the problems I have
but the issue I have is that even though I recognise some of the issues I do not know how to fix them. For the proportions I can measure, but I can't get the actual shape of the eyes right, or recognise the subtly of a line to draw it accuratly. I'd appreciate any help with this

[SamuraiSingh]

In short how do you recognise and draw a complex shape such as the eye in this photo
and
how do you see and draw a complicated line like the outer contour of the face

I am starting to think that my difficulty with lines is holding my drawings back

I am going to vary the things I draw so I don't get stuck on one subject like I keep doing

I am gonna start doing contour drawings in my sketchbook to work on my observational skills
These drawings to day make me realise I am just really bad at the basics and trying to learn the more complicated stuff just made it harder for me
