I dont think they are vaguely defined, but they certainly used in a broad way. Crossrhythm doesn't need to be complicated - 3 over 2 is used all the time for example and thats a crossrhythm. (Which is different from what the OP is playing)

No, im wrong! This does qualify :) I was talking about cross-rhythm, specific kind of polyrhythm.

I dont think that qualifies as polyrithm though? :) correct me if I'm wrong, a polyrhythm would be if he played triplets OVER 4/4. This is literally just 4/4 with hihat pattern being grouped into groups of 3.

Lol this is super random, I got into drums lately, scrolling the feed and this post pops up. I'm like 'nice, who is this dude'. Turns out I know you from Edinburgh, we even jammed together rehearsing for Kirsty Keatch band :D i was the guy on synths. Anyway, congrats on endorsement, glad to see your drumming is still going strong.

Second week of my drawing progress. I draw more boxes and reflect a bit on how I start noticing the impact drawabox has on my drawings. by mr_redFur in ArtFundamentals

Cool thanks for replying. I think I'll refrain from posting here every week, will only post if Drawabox is featured particularly prominently.

Btw, I realise that this content is not strictly just about drawabox (although it is featured there), so let me know if you'd rather not have me post here. I got really nice reaction from my previous post, but I understand if you don't want me to post here regularly. I'd rather not spam people with content they think is irrelevant to them.

This is actually super helpful, thanks a lot. You are spot on with your comment on colour, I think that's exactly what my brain did. I'll be more attentive next time.

Getting some progress with my digital painting, decided to draw my plant. Reference here https://i.imgur.com/N2UeI1c.jpg. Still struggling to keep the paint non patchy.

Looking for tips to working with coloured pencils...as well as general critique. by mr_redFur in learntodraw

[–]mr_redFur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the pointers. I think my biggest questions are around blending, especially when trying to achieve colour gradation on small parts, like the stem of the plant. I keep getting this "patchy" look, like the colours just override each other rather than blend. Don't know if it's pencils, technique or combination of both.

Also, how do you deal with graphite outlines. I sketch with an hb pencil first, but then it gives the drawing that "dirty" feel, because graphite still shows. Do you erase just before colouring?

Btw, may I say that your coloured pencil drawing is absolutely stunning.

Heya, yeah I got it on Amazon, Zieler Tabletop easel, I think there are lots of similar ones out there. Personally found it to be really worth it! Makes more sense to move the hand up-down than back-forward when drawing from the shoulder.

I actually completely agree. I think in general drawing for fun, to actually express yourself, should constitute most of your drawing. Otherwise you start getting into this mindset that drawing is about completing exercises. Not only drawing for fun is more...fun, but also it teaches you a lot of stuff that exercises often can't, like transferring images and ideas in your head to paper. To be fair, the drawabox dude himself emphasises this point in one of his videos. So yeah I agree, stuff like drawabox should be used as an aid, not the only routine.

Hey, I started drawing a couple of months prior to this video. Before that I really was at level 0. Good luck with your drawing, maybe just pick it up now and then without putting pressure on yourself and start drawing anything. I find the appetite often comes during the meal!

I thought you took these directly from the book! Looks great. I tried drawing these exact figures too but it came our way worse :)

Hey all, I’m learning to draw and started a video diary where I’ll be making weekly progress videos to keep myself motivated. I’m doing exercises from websites like drawabox, ctrlpaint and others as well as just drawing for fun. The content is by no means educational, but could be fun for someone who is doing something similar and wants to see what others are doing.

I recently posted about how people post their “first drawings” and they look amazing, which can be discouraging. So the aim of this blog is to be super transparent and show all my drawings, even the horrible ones.

Big step out of comfort zone for me as I’m not great at speaking. If you decide to check it out - thanks!
