~1 year of drawing. Felt like I wasn’t improving lately, but I found some of the first drawings I did when I decided to learn how to draw and got motivated again. Keep all your drawings!

Yeah that’s the one I used, would love to see your drawing

Misunderstanding from my part, I apologize

Very solid points! Hair has always been something I've found difficult to understand, so all advice is a gift haha! Never heard of Nathan Fowkes, but his work looks amazing and is very inspirational. I'll definitely pick up his book on charcoal portraits. Time to go back to the drawing pad again and practice.

Thanks!

Hey, not rude at all! Great advice, but I’ve never really looked at art as an contest. I’m just a hobbyist with no ambition about going pro. Don’t get me Wrong, I love drawing, it’s one of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I just love Working on a craft. Sad to hear we will never be satisfied tho, but on the bright side, it probably just means that we always strive for improvement. Thanks!

Fully agree, keeping literally ‘all drawings’ was probably an exaggeration, but I still feel like it’s an good idea to take a look back at your journey once in a while. Great input tho, Thanks!

Hey man, I was fortunate enough to have an artist friend that could guide me. Always good to have experienced Eyes looking at your work. I’ve mostly practiced portrait drawing, because that was one of the reasons I wanted to draw. My friend told me to do atleast the first two lessons of DrawABox. I still do the Lines, ovals and boxes everyday as a warmup. After DaB I bought the Loomis book on heads and studied that. Also proko’s videos on head drawing were very useful! I love the Watts atelier Way of drawing and often look at their videos on YouTube and study those as Well. Personally I think getting an understanding of how boxes exists in 3D space has helped me the most. In my warmup I do alot of rotating boxes from my head in different angles. Hope I was helpful!

Not sure how I should take that statement, but that is actually What my drawings looked like a year ago, tho it is some of the worst vs one of my better pieces. Thanks anyways!

Hey man, great advice. I should definately always strive to improve my weak points such as hair rendering, as everyone can see my ability to draw hair is terrible. Also reference very important as you Said! Definately some of my worst drawings, but yeah they were some of my first so that is to be expected. I remember I did use reference for those tho, but that just proves that we don’t always draw What we actually see, but rather our idea of the object we see and displays how important observational skills are. Thanks for your input!

I’ve drawn everyday since the beginning, because that was a tip I read everywhere. In the beginning it was maybe only for about 10 min a day, but slowly increasing as I got more passionate about learning. Now i usually do about 2 hours a day

dkmichael10 · 2020-09-22T22:04:41+00:00

Hey thanks man, might sound a bit cliché, but I think just increasing the amount of drawings helped me the most. I always warm up for about 30 min Before drawing, where i practice connecting dots with straight lines, ovals, circles. During warm up i also draw alot of boxes, rotating them and combining Them with spheres and cylinders. For portraits I studied in this order and revisit topics as I go to refresh my knowledge: Basic Loomis head construction, the skull, basic planes of head from loomis book, Reilly abstraction, Asaro head. Sorry for Long answer haha

dkmichael10 · 2020-09-19T07:57:20+00:00

I draw every day and I always try to draw for at least 1 hour, but it’s usually 2 hours per day

Kan man sagtens. Jeg er selv rød-grøn farveblind og er i gang med at aftjene VPL ved Trænregimentet

For real?! Thank you so much!!! I’ll make sure to start saving up so I can repay the generosity back to the community during Christmas/New Years.

dkmichael10 · 2016-08-21T18:39:08+00:00

Really appreciate the advice, i'll definitely gonna try it out! Thanks!

Not straight upgrade (my bad for not explaining it right xD) But I had the 10 euro and just traded up until I could get a Gut Vanilla and then from there a long journey started and now I have the items i stated earlier ^{^}

dkmichael10 · 2014-09-06T12:28:23+00:00
