Attempting Art Upgrade...
10 years ago
My current style doesn't leave much room for super intricate detail, I found. While it is effective for drawing inflatables (to an extent), it doesn't perform too well to draw things like furries or anything not unnaturally smooth. This is, of course, because I use a "lineart" layer that makes it much easier to color and detail smoothly, but only within the lines, This leads to a number of complicated problems that I can't really explain, mostly involving fur and other loose or chaotic textures.
So I've been trying to pick up a new style that will let me really push myself to draw extremely well. What I sort of forgot, however, was that I'm not going to be as good at drawing with these new techniques than I am with my current ones, which has led to many aggravating hours of looking at a poorly drawn picture and trying to make something half-decent out of it. This means that I might continue to be quiet as I have these past couple weeks as I stress and agonize over trying to figure out how to make something look good. I guess I could post drawings once I finish/give up on them? I just don't know if anyone would want to see it, is the thing.
And to the two people that I've promised a request to, should I go ahead and finish them now or would you prefer I wait until I think I'm good enough to start drawing for real in this improved style?
