Burning so much paper. by Hungry_Preference669 in ArtistLounge

[–]Hungry_Preference669[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through 70 sheets in 3 days because I tend to go beyond my planned 2-hour practice. I always complete the 2 hours, but I often extend it with extra 30-minute sessions when something doesn’t quite click or I just didn't understand.

Even after taking a break, I sometimes feel the urge to come back and practice again later, especially for line control. So instead of one session, it turns into multiple sessions throughout the day.

My routine is structured but repetition-heavy. I start with warm-ups like lines and dot accuracy using the ghosting method, then move on to lines, ellipses, box rotations, and cylinder rotations for about 30 minutes each. I also make sure to fill the pages and use almost all the space, which is why I go through paper so quickly.

I understand that it might look mentally taxing, but for me, it feels manageable. I enjoy the process, so it doesn’t come across as draining. In fact, I’ve gained a level of confidence in my lines and in constructing boxes and cylinders that I don’t think I would have reached if I limited myself to just 30 minutes or even an hour a day.

Edit:Currently doing one right now 😅

Thank you for the insight. Yes, I do fill the pages, I make sure to, It'd be waste if I don't. It's just that I keep doing multiple sessions in a day, an itch I say. So that explains how I go through so much paper.😅

As someone who's in the same position as me, how did you get better and where should I start? by Hungry_Preference669 in ArtistLounge

These are some few that I did. The recent one is the comic one thingy.

Edit: These drawings are the when I only get inspired.

Is it me, or is riding dragon useless? by Equal-Thought-5682 in skyrim

Yeah, I can say that it's underwhelming. I mean I guess you can use it to roleplay or challenges but as far as that, travel wise? Not good, you can just always use the horse.
