progress with drawing.
11 years ago
As mentioned before I wanted to try drawing something, I must say that I did a lot better than I thought I would.
I tried to draw a dragon, the head actually went pretty well, the body is good too, I still need some work on the tail, but the claws and legs are a huge problem: size of the legs are wrong, claws to small, they are not the same size and the worst part is: there are FOUR of them.
just wanted to write that down.
I'm planning to post this drawing once I have finished it, to see if other people like it and if they can give me some advice and stuff.
- UPDATE: my sister gave me a book to learn drawing better. actually its mostly about dinosaurs but I like those too and some of them have the same build as dragons. Either way I'm sure it will help me get better.
- Another update: I have seen it! I have seen the power of the stripe!
I was working on a drawing (a camarasaurus (a herbivore Dinosaur)) and I wanted to give his foot some depth, so I drew a stripe at the right place and BAM! suddenly it had depth, I was pretty mind blown that that little stripe gave the entire foot depth. I shall learn to control this power XD.
- I have drawn a few dinosaurs and learned some way to draw better so I will start working on a dragon now, I will post the drawing when I have finished it.
- have posted a drawing of a dragon in my scraps, its not good but its a beginning.
- ill keep drawing but I probably wont be posting any drawings for a while. I want to get better before I do.
- I have tried to draw a head seen from a higher point and I must say that I did good for a first time.
(20-01-2014) I have drawn a few round forms and used lines to give them depth, I'm currently trying to make good shadows, after that, I think I'm going to try to use a digital art program and see how that works out.
(21-01-2014) Have been working on how I draw eyes to show different emotions I think its going pretty good right now.
(25-01-2014) I have tried to draw wing and after a failed try I have actually drawn a really good wing. the shadow is so good that when I look at the wing it looks like the paper is folded.
(26-01-2014) continued drawing heads from a higher point of view, after looking at some other people work I noticed that the distance between some lines are a lot bigger than they seem.
(29-01-2014) aaarg!! after some successful attempts to draw a head from a higher angle, I somehow doing worse now. This shall not stop me, I shall succeed!!!
(05-02-2014) headache... can't........ must see it... before I.... draw it....forward is..... a little bit more forward... aaaaaaarg!!! drawing legs on a drawing that's facing a little towards the viewer is hard... really hard.
(09-02-2014) have drawn a dragon that is facing a little towards the viewer, I notice the hind legs are going pretty good but the frond legs take a little more effort.
(11-02-2014) The body of the dragon goes great! the problem lies in the head tough, more specifically, the jaw it just keeps looking a little to... how do you say that, not pointy enough? and I fail to notice how other artists solve this.
(12-02-2014) trying to draw some heads separately on another paper to make sure the dragon doesn't end up with a weird out of shape head, it seems to go better every time I try.
(15-02-2014 0:35 so its kind of 14-02-2014 :P) just drew a dragon (wingless again) I wont post it now but if I'm gona make a progress sheet at the end of this year I will probably show it. People said they liked it and that I made good progress.
(16-02-2014) I downloaded open canvas to get used to digital art programs, hmm well I need to get used to this (I also need better equipment tough).
(17-02-2014) confidence bringer!!!! I felt a little down, but its not going to stop me, I can and I WILL do this, bring it on fate!!!..... I just had to type that XD
(18-02-2014) as some sort of a birthday present, I can borrow the tablet of a friends sister, its not one with its own screen tough so ill first have to draw something traditionally before I can draw the same thing in OC and give it shadow.
(20-02-2014) hmm some parts of the body don't look as smooth in OC and its a lot of effort to repair this damage. seriously considering to redo the entire thing.
