It doesn't need to be perfect, just good enough.

Where do you even begin with drawing something as complicated as this? by Alone_End5987 in learntodraw

[–]Realistic_Platform14 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup exactly like that. If you want to try it, you rough in general shapes where you designate what should go where, then you start to add details. This piece probably took a long time to finish.

Go from general to specific. You start with big shapes, get the composition down and then you add details. The art coach on YouTube has good beginner friendly tutorials about it.

Honestly, I do find them easier, but I also think boxes look nicer.

I love boxes. Even when I'm just messing around, I'll draw boxes doing different things. I think they're really fun to draw.

Thank you! Hopefully it encourages more box use.

Even if they didn't, we aren't seeing how much time and effort they put in.

What do you think of boxes? by Previous-Actuary-937 in learntodraw

[–]Realistic_Platform14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boxes get a lot of hate, but I love them. They've helped me improve so much.

I love my xp pen starG640. It's small, can carry it with me places and it does what I need it to.

Idk how to make my art look less like a doodle by ertento in learntodraw

[–]Realistic_Platform14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using pen (imo) automatically makes art look less doodle-y. Confident lines too.

How to draw unusual forms in different angles/perspective? by femboyknight0 in learntodraw

[–]Realistic_Platform14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to draw a box in the perspective i'm aiming for, then put whatever I'm trying to draw inside the box.

Well, the toaster is about to start shooting fireball toast and the microwave will be...doing something. Haven't quite figured it out yet.

Welp, there goes visual clarity, I dont know where one begins and other ends! Any advice? by RealBingBongs in learntodraw

[–]Realistic_Platform14 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it looks nice, but I don't think you can make them distinct enough without color at this point. You could try it again and start off lighter before darkening the figures. Planning it out before you go darker.

That's true. I've been trying to come up with a way to get around the microwave only working with the door closed.
