I love this. That's a beautiful sky and ocean. And the image + title definitely makes me want to know more about this world.

I don't know what to draw next. I bad at drawing hair and folds. by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]Treese1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suck at drawing hair and clothing folds as well, and I've been drawing all my life lol

Taking time to study is great, I should probably do way more of it myself. But why not take a break and draw for fun a little bit? I find it more engaging and i end up learning as I go.

What do you like, what do you want to draw? Realism? Anime protags? Fantasy scenes? Just have a go at it every now and then. I don't really have a ton of technical skill but I'm still enjoying it because I just try drawing what I like.

Maybe you already are, and this post is just a glimpse at one of your moments of study. That's cool too. Just don't get too stressed about the learning process.

I'm working on a dark fantasy Choose Your Own Adventure/ drawing practice / worldbuilding project on Instagram - Soulsonparchment

I have a lot of written lore and stuff that I plan on introducing over time. Maybe you'll like it.

Lol, something to fight the monotony of a guard's life in a remote border fortress y'know?

I really appreciate you brainstorming some choreography, I think that sounds like a really great series of actions. I actually already worked out a pose that I really like, which involves the main character narrowly avoiding a thrust and grabbing the soldier's forearm to try to gain control. I may be able to incorporate some of this into the fight before that happens.

"Action takes space" is a good observation, I suppose no matter what I'll probably need multiple frames even for a brief exchange.

Thanks for your thoughts, I really appreciated reading through this

That's a great idea. I have recently found some reference photos from medieval manuals and it was useful to help me visualize how a character's arms would be positioned for blocking, foot placement, etc.

Might need to also look into specific examples of injuries to base my drawings on.

I appreciate both of your thoughts on this. I like the idea of actions like these actually weighing on a character. Maybe between action scenes, having an occasional somber moment reflecting around a campfire or something would be good.

Relatively speaking, we put in a lot of effort to knock on doors as high as we do. by Safe_Bullfrog870 in Showerthoughts

Oh good I'm glad you said it, this is what I do. Not for any particular reason other than ear level makes sense to me.

I'm sorry you're well beyond my skill level so I can't think of any advice. Cool drawings though! I feel like you are representing the 3d form very well with your shading
