Drawing
9 months ago
Hello everybubby. I wanted to write a little about the progress I’ve made and the struggles I still face when it comes to drawing.
I’m currently working on two pictures, one of which is nearly completed - inked and colored, and one that’s sketched but nothing else.
It’s been helpful watching
colby-hedgey ‘s live streams. But I’m still very VERY clueless how to draw the right way digitally. Now I have learned a bunch of how things work in the program I use. Layering is slowly making more and more sense, but it still takes me a TON of time to get the look I want. I know it shouldn’t take this long.
I need to learn how to use clipping and clipping layers and it’d make things go better.
When I was drawing earlier on, years ago, I used to do everything in one layer… yeah… that’s right… and it took forever. I’m still sorta in that mindset and have to train myself out of it. As much as I label different layers, I still forget to switch between them for their intended purpose, and I wind up super lost.
I have to learn how to draw more dynamically. My pictures are very stiff, I know. I’m going to be working more on different expressions and poses - hopefully more dynamic ones; like running, jumping, hopping, toddling, stooping, squatting, and bending - and expressions like sadness, fright, sleepiness, shyness, excitement, and of course, happiness.
I want to learn how to draw clothing that’s more realistic, with folds and shading. I want to learn how to draw diapers better too. I want clothing, including diapers, to look realistic, yet cartoony… if that makes any sense.
This is a lot of things to aspire to. I don’t spend too much time on drawing and I usually go in increments rather than burn myself out. I want to be able to draw like the artists I admire. The more I practice, I’ll get better. It’s just going to take a lot of time, trial and error.
