Do you draw digitally?
Yes indeed I do :^P
What software do you use , I have now iPad Pro . I use procreate… on my pc have Wacom Intuos comic with clip studio paint . I like csp more… can you give me some tips how to sketch ? How to improve ?
@anon48059102 peedy I use Paint Tool Sai, it’s always been my favourite art program but it isn’t free. These are pretty open topics but I’ll try, PM me for more specific stuff, but:
Sketching:
- Keep it loose, don’t overthink your lines.
- Try to get every line down in one single stroke instead of scratchy little ones, redraw it a few times if you have to.
- Multiple layers of sketches, like rough undersketch, then neater sketch and then inks, etc.
- Use construction lines and lay down your line of action when applicable.
Improvement:
- Push yourself and don’t leave too many things unfinished.
- Do iterative drawing and studies, I mean actually sit down and draw something over and over to learn how to draw it well.
- Instead of thinking “I will draw this when I’m skilled enough,” do it now. Even if it doesn’t turn out how you want, it’s worth it.
- Draw every day if you can, get the muscle memory down (I know this one’s hard though)
- Find inspiration and influences, other artists you like, aspects you want to incorporate into your own style.
- Get out of the comfort zone and draw things that are hard to draw.
- Use reference!
Hope it’s helpful.
Also… might as well upload the stuff I drew today (although one was so early it might as well have been yesterday!) Just passed 200 finished works for this year!
