Tips to loosen up after a break?
7 years ago
Ive been doing my best to draw like normal lately but I'm feeling very stiff since It's been a while since I drew with my tablet.
Do you guys have any drawing exercises that help you warm up and loosen out?
I kinda tried to jump right into drawing a full res image and I don't feel up to par with the quality like this...
FA+




Listen to inspiring music
try to do music inspired super fast sketches, try to finish it till the song is done (I often do this rofl)
Exaggurate anatomy and poses
Maybe anatomy studies too?
Don't be surprised if you get like... Three lines in thirty seconds. It's like stretching, you're going to start out stiff and slow if you haven't done it for a while.
There are sites like quickposes to help with this sort of exercise if you want to just jump in c:
Though I shamefully admit I hate doing those and switch to larger things too soon xD
Or if gesture drawings of people aren't your cup of tea, rough quick sketches of things you like to draw also help
