I've decided that I'll take advantage of this to boost my progress this month to the maximum, anyway I really appreciate that a user who has been here for so many years like you paid attention to this, that's great. Thanks and no, have a nice night! (If you can give me some advice to continue drawing that would be great!)
I will post this challenge for 30 days.
Next I will mention what I will study specifically and my specific goal with this challenge: I want to improve the correct illustration of the structure of the human face, torso, legs, hands, in general everything that complements the human body. First I want to capture the basic structure and then pay more attention to small details of each of the structures mentioned. I am looking for a general improvement of the human body. I will dedicate the maximum time I can to these practices, I want to take it seriously. And every day I will try to improve myself more and I will share my progress here. If you read this I encourage you to take this challenge to help your future self to be a great artist in the aspect that you want to improve.
Hello, I'm starting this first conversation on this page, wanting to share an experience that I hope you take the time to read (Thank you).
I was browsing the page to renew my basic subscription when I clicked wrong and bought the full subscription for 15 dollars. After complaining for a long time because the money in my account didn't belong to me and was just there, I decided to take it positively and start this conversation to get help from you: How can I make the most of this subscription? I'm a person who spends a lot of hours drawing and I'd like to make the most of this mistake.
Please feel free to join and give me advice!
Good afternoon, I'm going to help you in any way I can. I'm not very good, but I am able to recognize mistakes in your sketches that I made in the past.
I will be using a translator since I am not very good at English.
Here I go: Your main problem is your lines, it is normal for beginners and it is difficult to dare to leave it and take a step forward. The hairy line can give you some details about what you need to learn to correct it and become a better draftsman:
First of all, the hairy line tells us that your lines lack security. To improve this aspect, I suggest that you make long lines with your hand raised from the blade, not with your hand lying on the blade. It is important to mention that the further you hold your pencil from its tip, the better.
So take 10 minutes of your time on the days you can draw and make long lines, curves, geometric figures, things like that with the pencil pose that I mentioned.
With this your lines will improve noticeably over time. I know that it is very difficult to get used to drawing with your free hand, but this will be the best to obtain security and firmness in your lines.
Now, I suggest that in your classes when drawing a model and after drawing the line of action, you draw the most basic parts of the body as geometric figures. Example: The head can be a cylinder, the torso a square, the hips a square as well, the legs as cylinders as well, and the arms. Try to follow this way: line of action, geometric figures and above that base is when you can venture to draw the human body above that base
I also suggest that you study the basic concepts of illustrative drawing, it will help you a lot with your sketches and train your mind to understand everything mentioned above in a great and very fun way!
I am totally sure that if you pay attention to these tips for at least 10 minutes of your time per class, over time your sketches will improve a lot. I have nothing left but to wish you the best and ask you not to give up on this beautiful path that is illustrative drawing.
Don't give up artist!
