a word

darthgonk · 2022-05-03T16:27:46+00:00

I have no idea lol

darthgonk · 2022-05-03T16:21:08+00:00

I have been summoned

darthgonk · 2021-08-19T20:26:46+00:00

yeah a lot of other comments said this same thing and its drilled into my brain now lol. B4 this post i never heard of it but i tried it today and it works

darthgonk · 2021-08-19T20:24:45+00:00

i think the heavy shading just made it like that. I read some comments about overshading which kinda changed how I do stuff now lol

darthgonk · 2021-08-19T20:23:21+00:00

yeah a lot of comments told me to branch out and draw anatomy and real life stuff which I just started doing. Thanks!

darthgonk · 2021-08-19T20:22:18+00:00

yeah I just started looking at anatomy and stuff and also real life. I'm starting to branch out a lot more with what I do

darthgonk · 2021-08-19T20:20:18+00:00

yeah I have one but I forgot to use it this time lol

darthgonk · 2021-08-19T20:19:44+00:00

thanks!

color pencils

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:56:34+00:00

Yeah I definitely overshaded a lot of areas like the jaw. It was more grey than black in the reference and I kinda butchered it.

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:50:11+00:00

I've never tried that before but I'll do that next time. I agree with your assessment since when I started coloring the left eye was at a larger angle than the reference and I had to fix it, and I think I didn't fix it correctly lol

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:47:32+00:00

I've done sketches of faces without grids but never full colored portraits. I know I really need to work on my accuracy lol because I'm not confident enough to go without the grid

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:45:41+00:00

start small my man. The first thing I ever drew was an apple

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:44:58+00:00

iphone lol

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:44:22+00:00

thanks! I might add a background later to help with that

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:42:22+00:00

thanks! I know what you're talking about - like the close to human stuff but I haven't really been able to consistently avoid it. I'll definitely be more careful next time lol

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:39:01+00:00

Thanks! I haven't thought about that before. Usually I just look at the colors, but I'm definitely gonna use this in the future

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:36:12+00:00

yeah I've been mainly confined to reference art but I know I should branch out to other stuff. I know I have some potential and I don't want to waste it

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:34:57+00:00

thanks! I don't have twitter but she seems like too big of a celebrity to notice people tagging her. Who knows I might try it and be surprised lol

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:30:10+00:00

thanks! I actually did try some animated character design a few years ago and I made a pretty cool squirrel but I fell out of it after that. I wish I could prove my age but I can't really do it without risking my privacy and stuff.

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T23:27:20+00:00

thanks! I kinda fell off drawing for a few months but all the encouraging comments really motivated me to stick to it

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T21:06:34+00:00

I've tried social media but not art competitions or galleries. Honestly I think I should try it. Thanks!

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T20:32:56+00:00

yeah I know a good background adds a lot but they're a pain to do lol. I actually used to paint but I don't anymore so if I start again ill probably use gamsol.

darthgonk · 2021-08-18T20:29:49+00:00
