Continuing with the theme of self humiliation, more attempts at drawing the figure from imagination. I think I'm going to stop here. Use some references, work on improving the aesthetic of my sketches and watch that video again before attempting again.

So I just opened Tomfoxdraws's book, "Drawing Form and Pose", and first thing I read just blows my mind. less is more, go for simple shapes, confident lines, and decide well where you place your marks. He says that the most common mistake for beginners is complicating things too much, adding too much detail and thus there are a bunch of lines with no clear decision behind them.

I'm just going to write that down here for future reference and for anyone reading if it helps. Also PSA Humble bundle is selling a huge art bundle including Painter for like 30$

Snakker here,

So today, I’ve Just been practicing drawing and painting in 3d space. I made it a point not to use any perspective lines or any type of help, just drawing and erasing and trying to make the objects as 3d as possible and make it work. The last one was a bunch of boxes I drew like that around a center point and then I tried rendering by only using square brush, all in all this workout was harder than expected but I feel its was very useful

Cheers

Snakker here,

So among other obstacles to continuing with the course material, I must add, I have a tendency to just doodle on and doodle on. Today I started a physical sketchbook to start adding my notes and observations in there, which for me I think is akin to sitting down when things get real in a video game :stuck_out_tongue:

Just because I want to focus better to learn each lesson appropriately. Anyways, going to upload my doodles of the day, these are all from imagination X_X so must have a lot of issues, but even though, the few things Ive done so far I feel have empowered me to draw the figure way way better than I thought I ever could from imagination, so that's a plus

I'll also upload a pic from my sketchbook in a sec. Any critique, tip or observation is highly appreciated

cheers
