I saved some of Glenn’s videos last night. I’ll start studying with them on my day off tomorrow.
I also edited my handbra doodle. The shoulders weren’t the only things off about it…
This Jazza guy is pretty cool. Blew my mind with the two point and three point perspective thing. And the construction vid really open my eyes, and built my confidence. He has many other vids to ranging from specific tutorials to advice on how to get inspired, and what not
Read up Scott Robertson’s How to Draw.
It’s all about Perspective, and will get you a very, very strong idea on how draw within Perspective.
Drew some basic shapes again.

Welp I’ll have plenty of time to draw now and will be posting regularly with new sketches seeing as how I just lost my job today… 
Damn I’m sorry to hear that man.
Good values on the shapes. Keep your priorities in check and try to get re-employed.
Sucks to hear about your job lost, but hope things work out.
As for those shapes, you seem to have the same issues as stated last time.
- Check Squares in Perspective.
Watch this:
-
Draw confident lines, regardless how bad it looks. Don’t chicken scratch.
Watch the Peter Han exercises linked in the previous page to ya. Practice that line work! -
Make sure your shadows make sense. Ie, why does the shadow appear on the side but core shadow appears behind the shape? Purchase a lamp and a block, shine a light above it, boom.
The other day I came up with a unique idea for a comic strip series. Right now I’m brainstorming for the right character design (maybe inspired by Courage the Cowardly Dog or Brian Griffin).
I’m most satisfied with the middle pose.
EDIT:
Getting close to what I want. This is after studying a few Disney character designs.
I’ve been trying to do both shading and perspective and other things and what not, but I just keep messing up.
I think I’m gonna try one thing at a time and master that before moving on to another. Is that a good way to go?
From the previous page, you were provided a source of material you should tackle as you continue with your progress.
Start with Keys to drawing by Bert Dodson, as it’s a great beginner book in learning how to draw.
Try not to procrastinate. I did a lot of studying/drawing during summer break, but for some reason once one of my classes started, I started to procrastinate (something I didn’t think I’d fall victim for). Did it for an entire week, messed up an entire assignment. I hope everyone else is on their studies and working hard. Remember, “Talent is a pursued interest. In other words, anything that you’re willing to practice, you can do.” and the most you practice, the stronger you become.
I feel split in doing X activities, that when I do them I feel like drawing. But when I’m drawing, I feel like doing X. It’s gotten so bad that I just do neither, and hence the procrastinate. Looks like I gotta give up a lot just to avoid this. Drawing mode, activated.
Took a long hiatius from any serious drawing but finally buckled down:
Medium: .25 archival ink pen
A little something I whipped together
Does anyone use tablets to draw? I’m asking because I’m eyeing the Surface 3 (or maybe the Pro edition).
I’m not a serious artist at all, but I just want to draw and get my ideas down directly to screen more easily. Not sure how it stacks up to the Wacom/Cintiq offerings, but those are even more expensive to me.
I’m using the Surface Pro 3. The digitizer is ok but (1) it doesn’t support tilt, only pressure; and (2) it seems to add jitter if you draw very slowly. Depending on how you hold your pen/stylus, the lack of tilt can make the drawing experience feel ‘off’. It does for me.
Another thing I don’t quite like about it is that the nib feels a bit too soft – it doesn’t feel as good as my Intuos 3 (an ancient piece of hardware, but still functional). I’ve alreadr worn out my nib a little bit (keep in mind that there’s no tilt, so I initially really did tend to press down to try and get that pressure variation).
Sketchbook for tablet is a reasonably touch-friendly drawing app. But good luck using Photoshop 
Not very touch friendly last I checked.
Taking the Inktober challenge.
Don’t have time to do crazy ink work, but this will be good practice for my inking. I’ll post my daily drawings every 4-5 days.
Speaking of inking, what do people use to get that completely dark ink? I’ve never done any inking, so the subject is completely new to me.
Well I use Graphik brand ink pens. They’re darker than sharpie if that means anything.
I would think that any set of pens with a variety of thickness would use black or nearly black ink. I’ll have to research different brands to be sure.
Think Markers would be just as effective? I actually got me these:

And the 98 gets really dark. I’ve never attempted inking before, but I’d like to know the materials used to give that comic book feel.
