Drawing/Sketching fundementals thread

Yea, saw that one too. I think the bean exercise just kind of helped make my sketches a little more fluid looking

Yup, doing the bean exercise on a regular basis definitely increases the quality of your line. Iā€™d even add that it gives it a more natural feel. Funny how the most simple exercises are always the best ones.

Anyone still drawing lol? I definitely loss some progress but starting to get back into it

I am.
Still learning the fundamentals thoughā€¦ Staying motivated has proven to be far more difficult than i anticipated.

Currently on an abstract painting kick with acrylics. It is nice to take a break from the graphic design work at my job to create something without worrying about structure and finishing a painting when I believe it is finished.

Havenā€™t drawn in awhile and Iā€™m still terrible but the new samsho has me a little motivated. A couple random quick sketches to bump the thread.

Always wanted to learn how artists went about creating fighting game sprites. Are there any good tutorials out there or anyone on here that has some good tips about starting out

Anyone still drawing? Iā€™ve been working on the fundamentals for the last 3-4 years. Kinda boring and really difficult, but necessary. Here are some quick gesture drawings.


Also for those interested hereā€™s my twitter account dedicated to practice: https://mobile.twitter.com/TanrenK

Iā€™ve been getting into digital art after going my whole life doing traditional. Not nowhere near where I want to be but have made significant progress. This the most recent piece Iā€™m working on, Brachydios from Monster Hunter.

Iā€™m trying to get started all over again after years of neglect. No idea where to start tbh. Might just start doodling and looking at videos until I figure something out.

I havent really been practicing at all. Occasionally do a quick doodle randomly. Going to start getting back into it soon.

A couple randoms

If you ever see random holes or lines all over the paper, thatā€™s usually my sons doing :rofl:

So I bought the first book of the berserk series. Definitely makes me want to get back into drawing. Wish I had a bunch of free time to actually get to a point where i feel like Iā€™m actually improving

Did anyone download all the pdf books I posted? If anyone can reupload ā€œColour and Lightā€ by James Gurney Iā€™d really appreciate that (even though colour isnā€™t the main focus of this thread).
I think thereā€™s another book Iā€™m looking for but I forgot the name, Iā€™ll let you know what it is later.

basically I canā€™t find the usb drive with all the books I saved and my laptop broke down a while ago so Iā€™ve only managed to get back half the book I previously had.
Iā€™ll be posting more books soon which should cover everything that we need and Iā€™ll reupload every pdf book Iā€™ve posted in this thread.

I appreciate the fact that you guys kept this page active for so long.

Iā€™d highly recommend purchasing Will Westonā€™s drawing tutorials if you have the money.
