Oh gosh, yes x__x All of my sketchbooks are A5, I can not draw A4 sized haha. I tried recently and ended up sketching at A5, blowing it up on the computer, printing, and sketching an A4-sized copy from that.

D:

That's the most amusing cheat ever XD Kudos to you Wyla :P

Haha, awesome, I'm glad to know it's not just me!

Worst part, dunno if you get the same, is I have to keep all my colouring pencils ultra-sharp, or I fully go over the lines D:

Heh. I get the opposite problem. I draw too large. Too often I can't the the image to fit in the page. When drawing digitally i keep on havng to extend the canvas.

I am too ill-disciplined an artist.

That is weird! Though I guess larger drawings mean you can fit more detail into them, so it's kind of good? I always tend to start by drawing a box to fit my drawing into (dunno why, just force of habit) so maybe if you started by drawing a smallish box, and trying to fit your picture into it at least when you overran it would stay on the page?

Just a thought, I dunno. I really like your art, personally. Has expressiveness rather than bland sexy/cuteness, which is surprisingly rare in furry art.

Well, I am just weird
If i draw too big on a piece of paper then I am screwed. If I do it digitally, then I can fix it but it starts to chew through memory.

And anoher problem is that I am quite an impatient artist. I leave space for all that detail but I just so often rush through that. But draing in a box sounds a good idea. Another tip, given by ValantineCrow/TheTiedTigress, that is helping is; to draw torsos first.

Finally, thank you for your appreciation and for the watch.

(Redone because last attempt made me sound like a bit of a dick.) ¬.¬

I always drew on A4 when I started drawing properly again and then ended up switching to drawing on A5 for the better part of 2010. When I finally decided to try and switch back to A4 I was really nervous and then surprised when it worked out well o.o Now I switch between them all the time :3

Put me in front of an A3 piece of paper though and watch me break down XD

I DEMAND MASSIVE QUILL XD

Also, damn it, I'm a jealousgator now!

Possibly, maybe, art trade? :P

Nuuuuuuuuu, no jealous!!! D:

Art trade! Art trade! I totally just bought a dip pen and some India ink!

Yaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!! Art Trade!!!!!!!!!!! You can do me Ragnarok? :3

Canandwill! And you, you can draw whichever one of my admittedly ridiculous 'sonas takes your fancy! Refs can be had from the UkFur badge swap thread, yes?

I might do a Kuro!!!!! :D Or a Quill..... Or BOTH!!!!!!!!!! X3 We'll see lol

I have a question! Feral or anthro? I'm equally cool with either but I cannot make decisions!

I was so going to say it's all up to you XD Buuuuuuuuut I guess Anthro o.o

Heh well I guess I'll shoot for anthro but half the time that turns into feral anyway so it'll have to be a surprise!

It sure will be :P

fuck you whores with your talent and trades!!! i can bake you something in return for art ahhaha p.s ure little thing bout curiousty makes me think of ry ry and quill vore bwhahaah oh murrrr ¬¬

Oh Ry Ry you can come and bake at mine anytime for doodles :P

Yep, I certainly get that. I can draw a lovely little bijou picture, but never get the details right when I want to make it bigger.

Bijou! Describing a picture as bijou totally makes it sound like a well thought through design decision instead of the result of a bizarre mental block :D

Positive panda, is you.

So now my inking isn't terrible, it's Bauhaus. And my colouring, totally fin-de-siecle.

XD

There totally aren't enough Avant Garde furry artists. >.>

Of course, nothing I draw is *actually* bijou, it's just small and scribbly...

You and your extensive vocabulary

I don't know, ease yourself into thinking an A3 sheet of paper is actually and A5 piece of paper... Strange logic but it works for me!

The real benefit if drawing a large depiction of something is that when it is shrunk down for say FA, it looks more detailed that it actually is... I guess.

Damn the lack of an edit button!

I don't mind which scale I draw at, but I'm really bad at getting the image the right size for the page >:( I'll d it too big and then start again and it'l be too small xD

I guess the advantage with Modern Technology™ is that even if you draw something small, scanning can embiggen it.

On a related note, I just recently got a graphics tablet. If you felt like sending me some linework scans, I could make an attempt at digital colouring for you, if you'd like :3

I can't draw anything bigger than 2" and then it's chibi....but it all counts! Besides, A5 is a lovely size, why would you want it to be any bigger? (aside from perhaps ease of colouring) but even then you can, as seen above, enlarge digitally to colour that way to make sure everything is cushty-bosh. However, if you wanted to focus on bigger scale i'd start with trying out bigger strokes when you draw, try and relax the muscles in your arms and fingers and go with the flow so to speak.

I'm better at drawing either draw tiny corner skecthes or massive A1 things but I don't normally have too much of a problem with A4. I love drawing tiny =3
