Possible arts coming! And advice from experienced artists?
13 years ago
General
So I got inspired a tad to do some bad sketches of a nice robot finch and possibly a story involving same.
I also got someone who wants me to colour something they've drawn, which means I get to practice my digital art for once without worrying about the linework!
Aside from that, same old. Shouldn't be wanting to draw as exams close in, but hey, what do you know?
Need clean and simple references for anatomy (especially birds) as usual, and I'd really love anyone who knows how to overcome the shyness about drawing in public and, the most crippling thing for me, the perfectionism and such that means I hate anything I draw and see nothing but flaws with it... I love drawing, but so often, I find it easier to do something else, rather than try and draw something from memory that always looks... Wrong.

Theres nothing wrong with seeing flaws in your work, in fact, that's a good thing. So you know exactly what you have to work on. Unlike people who don't see how their art is bad.. then they just keep making bad are and never improving.
You know.. I have a hell of a time drawing on pencil and paper lol. One of the reasons why I don't like drawing in front of people. I know I make a lot of mistakes, so I guess I grew to rely on ctrl-z and the transform tool in photoshop, which may be a bad thing, but it won't really matter if all I'm doing is drawing at home on photoshop. =p
You can try sketching in photoshop, and use the transform tool and such to correct your flaws. Maybe you'll be happy with the outcome.
But that's just my opinion! All it takes is practice and training until you get use to drawing things in the right place etc.
