daceronine:

Ha! That's great man, even if it was done a while ago, it's fun to go through. If you get back into doing it, I'd love to see more!

Regarding ideas when drawing on paper... I'm actually the opposite, when doodling on paper I'm not sure what to go for, and when I start I can't correct it, so I kinda leave it behind, but on digital, I can look up references and adjust the image as needed, so I enjoy it more.

I think it's just about whatever you feel more comfortable with and to practice stuff to get "inspiration", for example:1. Keep an idea notebook. Ideas come at the craziest times.2. Do a low effort creative task, like doodling a thumbnail, or trying to write a simple back story for your image.3. Create a routine. Marc mentioned something similar to set some time a day for creative work. It doesn't have to be too intensive, just 10 minutes to brainstorm is more than enough.4. Learn something new. It can be as simple as watching a show, or researching about a theme than you are passionate about, like, history of comic art.5. Appreciate other's work. Personally, I've found I've recieved a lot of ideas and learning lessons from feedback and just from watching other people's art journeys here.

There's a lot more, but just practicing some points to get the creative juices flowing is bound to help.

yea I do have art inspiration pictures saved on pintrist to give me ideas but I think your right in saying that you need to work wit what you are comfortable with I think i just need to get into digital a bit more make myself more comfortable. As for a routine I've actually been trying to draw everyday at least 1 image that I like hoping that i don't burn myself out. I've also been very inspired by everyone on these forums this has been the first time in a long time that I've been drawing this constantly. maybe I should start on paper then go to digital.

I think its the fact that I can crtl z my work that make me undivisive but maybe that's just me. I don't really have an issue with an idea I always have what i want to draw in my head but i can never put it to paper or I don't have the skill or mental knowledge to draw what I want, but I think that is fixed by getting better at drawing. for example the drawing below I had to erase a bit because I could not get the pose I wanted in my head to transfer to paper so I just decided to go with something else that kinda captured the image in my head. I kinda wanted him to make the hands like Vegeta does when he does final flash but I couldn't find a good reference to draw it quite right

Didn't have too much time today so I just practiced 4 point

uggievang · Apr '24

just another quick sketch before bed

Good grind man. For the 4 point perspective, I'd recommend to bring the top and bottom vanishing points a bit lower, closer to the character, which will give you a more defined 4 point style perspective for it. When you pull the vanishing points further, it "stretches" the perspective so to speak, in this case it barely applies the angle to the character.

Granted it's a rough exercice and the main point is to understand how the figure angle changes along with each vanishing point added. As long that objective is met, that's all good.

I've decided to move onto term 3 instead of just drawing heads over and over again I'll work more of some 3 point and 4 point when I have time but I wanna move on so I can learn new things. That being said I did a couple clothing drawings on paper because I didn't feel like taking out my tablet I'll do more detailed drawings of clothing tomorrow when I have off work the next day and have more time.
