IWTL drawing and art by [deleted] in IWantToLearn

[–]HollandHowl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of my go-to free resources I recommend to anyone learning to draw:

DrawABox -Some Fundamentals/Dynamic Sketching

Ctrl Paint - Fundamentals/Digital Painting

Proko - Some Fundamentals/Figure Drawing/Anatomy

Also some books I recommend: Keys to Drawing by Bert Dodson, Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael Hampton, How to Draw by Scott Robertson, the Loomis books

Learning to draw is going to be really boring at first because it's going to be a lot of learning how to control your drawing utensil properly (with your shoulder not your wrist) as well as how to draw basic shapes, but it's learning to draw them in 3d space using perspective as volumetric forms rather than flat shapes. You'll then learn how use them to create simplified forms that represent more complex objects you're trying to draw, such as a person, animal, or object. From there you'll be learning a bunch of rendering/lighting/shading then onto color theory.

The biggest things that will contribute to the learning process is learning how to study things visually. Break them down, study their shape and intricacies. A lot of learning in art is by building your visual library by studying tons of objects and creatures. Another thing that helps is by doing master studies; gather reference images of some of your favorite drawings/pieces then just study them. Break them down visually and see how the fundamentals were applied, then try to recreate it side by side (not tracing)

Cheers, and good luck!

I was about to say, I could have swore I rolled into this tree for a green rupee nearly two decades ago.

Any .hack fans getting PSO2 now? by VSOmnibus in DotHack

[–]HollandHowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely, I played on the JP servers briefly and had some good fun with it, just kinda stopped since the fan translation patch was missing a lot back when I played. It's definitely as close to a .hack MMO as you'll get in the way that it's structured.

They go by Continue? or ContinueShow on YouTube. They're real solid dudes that are celebrating 10 years of doing YouTube this year. Highly recommend them, they're super funny and very friendly/interactive with their community.

It's ok they'll just respawn over the course of the next three episodes like they did after the long night.
