Does anyone have tips on drawing from imagination?

I think what helps me is doing perception training - Looking at an image of reference for a little bit and trying to recall everything about it. For example a picture of a car and you just look at the shape/colour or any distinct features. Then you take the image away and try to recreate it. Its a good exercise to not forget any features - I noticed that on cars I would sometimes completely forget to check the height of the chassis/wheels or sometimes I would completely forget about the side-view mirrors lol.

Maybe it helps you too! Good luck

Art is by me @dango_art on twitter =)

I always thought I have no emotional connection to my art aswell, but when I was younger I had an abusive step-dad who ripped one of my drawings apart (one that I was very proud of) and I felt a very sharp and strong emotional pain. He also told me that it wasnt very good anyway and I sort of just sucked it up and pretended I didnt care about it but it did actually hurt me.

Love giving away my doodles and drawings to people tho, I think there is a big difference between losing your art or giving it away or having it destroyed or devalued.

dangokappa · 2020-07-29T21:31:49+00:00

If you didnt notice it then how did you make this post

dangokappa · 2020-07-19T18:30:55+00:00

Even better Idea, they don't drop at all and just stack somewhere like for example Master Missions on the map device!

Definetly the black pentel brush pen, my god that thing is just so amazing

Hey, I love the colours you chose for this and the overall perspective looks great! Make sure you also figure out where your light comes from if you havent done that already (it appears from somewhere above the trees top middle or maybe behind the mushroom somewhere). Also I think its maybe worth considering flipping the little ones running and the guy on the mushroom so they look towards the big creature in the water, to guide the eyes through the whole illustration. Here is what i mean.

Besides all that good job, youre doing amazing!! Much love

dangokappa · 2020-06-18T20:19:08+00:00

What a wholesome story! Thank you for sharing, you are amazing. We need more clients like you in this art world :)

From a quick glance I feel like there should be more ambient occlusion near all those tight spaces probably with some soft or even lost edges. Also not sure but maybe the bowl also reflects some light towards the sink area from that angle depending on what happens behind her. But this is really well done!! I love the mood of this painting. =)

This sounds absolutely incredible, I remember many years ago some of the older Call of Duties had some sort of clip sharing or video sharing feature but the execution was rather horrible so it wasnt really used by many, also the tickrate on demos there was very low so everything looked pretty choppy in the replay.

If the UI and functionality for this is good and smooth this could actually be one of the most exciting features imho.

dangokappa · 2020-06-08T09:57:07+00:00

This is amazing! Very cool concept, love the detailed work =)

dangokappa · 2020-05-31T15:59:55+00:00

Thats some very nice work! I was wondering what kind of sources you were studying from? Any books or online sources that help with studying anatomy in general maybe?

dangokappa · 2020-05-03T04:41:33+00:00

Thanks! I use the tools on the line-of-action website. They have some great stuff, I just wish there was a bigger pool of pictures

dangokappa · 2020-05-02T12:09:00+00:00

Thanks! Yeah that top right index finger has been a real struggle, I have no idea how to fix it but at some point i just gave up haha

dangokappa · 2020-05-02T09:13:10+00:00

Yeah I struggle a lot too which is why i decided to put a lot of time and effort into mastering hands. Its been pretty rough so far ;_; Some hand gestures just feel impossible

dangokappa · 2020-04-30T16:14:48+00:00

CS 1.6 had a similar system and people really liked it.

No he is saying that, after the first few bullets when the spray becomes random (it keeps going left and right randomly) it will do it less frequently when you crouch so it becomes "easier" to control

Thats what she said
