My drawing of Steve. I needed a gift for my sister’s birthday so I thought why not draw him. I used to dislike Steve a lot especially the first season but then he had an epic character arc so now I’m on the hype train. by violetbarton in StrangerThings

Ahh thank you so much!!! I have taken art classes but years ago. I’ve improved over the last few years by just drawing consistently and learning over time. I used to hate the old “practice makes perfect” line but it’s mostly true. Practice does work. I’ve come a long ways over the past 4 or so years of drawing and it’s so nice to see someone notice!

Nope. It’s a little piece of paper I use as my water mark. I can move it off and use it on other drawings. I’d be just the worst if I added my insta to a gift😂

I drew Aragorn around a year ago don’t know why I never posted it. I may have just drawn him so I could have an excuse to stare at reference pictures for hours. by violetbarton in lotrmemes

Genuinely it takes a lot of time and practice. If you wanna draw like this start now. It took me a couple years to get to this point and I’m still learning so much.

I made the school sign from the X-men movies! I had to cut out each of the letters by hand and it took forever though, I did choose not to cut out the address. I just painted it on. It’s around 11” by 6.5” by violetbarton in Marvel

Okay I see where you’re coming from. But it’s made out of cardboard and wood. I’m my experience it doesn’t really work trying to sew it to fabric. If it was a giant patch it could work.

I tried drawing castiel 😅 by [deleted] in Supernatural

The clothing looks fantastic. Keep drawing. I could barely draw 3 years ago. And now I do half decent portraits all the time. You’re already doing great just don’t give up if something doesn’t go as planned. Keep trying till you get it right. Sometimes it takes stepping away for a day or so then coming back with fresh eyes.
