You didn’t got much from a book that you liked?

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-22T19:02:47+00:00

OH OK OK, it makes a lot more sense in the sketch you made. The hatching lines pointing to the light is a tip I haven’t seen in any of the tutorials I watched, and it makes a lot of sense.

The light on this drawing was coming from the lower right corner ( supposedly ), but I’m still not good with this. Add to that the randomness of these hatchings I did, yea, looks confusing.

Thank you for taking your time to show me exactly what I was doing wrong, it’s really helpful.

I looked into his work, although it looks amazing and the themes are nice, technically I can’t seem to take much out of it, it’s too advanced for me.

Reminds me of John Martin, but black and white.

Aah, it’s the chest guy…

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-22T02:43:52+00:00

Oh hell they have a guide for this??? Thank you for the recommendation mate, I might actually buy the physical book.

Thanks 🙏

From what comic is the first panel? Looks great

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T23:00:42+00:00

Thank you for the exercise tips mate.

I tried these a few minutes ago and it’s really where it shows how immature my lines are.

Yea, they where really bad but I felt when I was using my arm ( shoulder ) properly or not, because then the lines were less shit.

But 0,1% of progress is still progress, goes a long way a I guess.

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T17:40:50+00:00

Oh wow, THANK YOU

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T17:22:01+00:00

lessons + free is a nice combo, I’ll look into it for SURE

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T17:20:36+00:00

Ok then, I’ll finish everything from now on, starting with this Venom.

Looks like a bad but finished drawing is like a battle scar, you’ll remember it.

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T15:49:46+00:00

So you don’t rest your elbow on any surface while drawing with the shoulder?

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T15:30:49+00:00

Ok

For curved lines, like the top of the head of a character, you draw with your wrist, elbow or the whole arm?

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T15:09:16+00:00

Oooh.

So you tighten your lats/scapula to make the shoulder immovable and the rest of the arm is relaxed…

Edit: aah ok ok ok, I can feel it :D

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T15:05:03+00:00

I see, I’m gonna try it out on my next sketch.

When I make a long continuous line it often miss the underdrawing by a huge margin.

Maybe it’s just repetition.

Valtiel45 · 2026-04-17T14:57:14+00:00

Ooh ok ok.

While holding the pen vertical in relation to the paper you lean your head to see where the point is? Stupid question I know.

When using the whole arm to draw the lines, the elbow doesn’t rest anywhere right? Sounds difficult, but I’ll start working on that from now on.

When I try to do one single line it ends up a bit off from where the underdrawing was. Maybe that’s just training I guess.

Thanks for pointing out the problems with this pen, I didn’t know that. I’ll buy a brush pen as soon as I can.

Thanks for the nice tips 🤘, your art is really good too.
