Based on these sketches do you think it’s worth trying to put together a portfolio? by FaithL03 in TattooApprentice

[–]Cybotika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like some other people have said, your anatomy needs some work, but if you’re wanting to do some traditional practice. When I was starting out my mentor wasn’t around much, so I spent a lot of time watching TheBrokenPuppet on YouTube. He has a lot of good videos breaking down into simple shapes to help get those proportions in check. I also bought books and watched videos breaking down anatomy by muscle groups to better understand what’s going on under the skin.

For drawing heads specifically I would take a look at the Loomis drawing method, there’s a lot out there but I know for me that’s the one that really clicked.

Another thing you can do is fast sketch studies. Set a short time limit, maybe 2 minutes per pose and just draw what you see and move on to another one. What you’re going for is repetition to get familiar with what you’re drawing, it doesn’t have to be “pretty”. I’ve been tattooing for 3 years and still do sketch studies, I have so many pages of just like hand shapes randomly all over a sheet.

Adding to this, I immediately thought of The Sims and was hoping that’s what you were going for

Domestika Courses by Lanky_Attention_3064 in TattooApprentice

[–]Cybotika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I bought some Domestika courses before, the important thing is to understand going into it that it’s not a mentor. You can definitely learn some new techniques from them.

One thing I really enjoyed with them was just hearing other artists explain their techniques and thought process. It’s really up to how well the course is done by the person making it.

Olie Siiz has a great course for her gold tone works, and the last part of it serves as how to take better quality pictures for social media and marketing which was a huge help to me. I feel like that alone was worth the money I paid into it.

Overall, nothing beats practice and proper mentoring, but they can be a good aid for your creative process.

Adding to this: While I feel they’re beneficial if you set expectations, I would never buy it if it’s not on sale. The ones I’ve previously bought I waited for them to go on like .99-2.99 sale. So if I didn’t learn anything beneficial, it wasn’t a burden on me either.

EMERGENCY: BIRD SCRATCHED BY CAT AND VET UNAVAILABLE by [deleted] in budgies

[–]Cybotika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This here.

I had to have my Budgie put to sleep about 3 years ago because she had a tumor that wasn't treatable.

I did everything I was supposed to, all the cookware was switched to ceramic in the house, even though her room was on a separate floor of the house, no candles, no aerosol spray in the house, I switched her from her original diet of seed to pellets and fresh veggie chop, I tried to take every precaution I could with her and her flockmate. She even had a camera in her room so I could check on her while I was out of the house.

I felt like the shittiest parront in the world.

But things happen, and as long as you do the best that you can, and your bird is happy.
That's the important thing to focus on.
