Hey - everyone i am farely new here, only been here for about few months, but havent posted much work at all. I was looking through MindCandyMan thread, of his whole progression of getting better, and i think it inspired me very much, to practise more, as i seen that it can be done. With practise. He is over at ConceptArt.org if you are wondering who he was.
So i decided to make a thread similar to his.
I am quite the beginner, compared to many people, i am really good at copying anything, say a real life photograph or something, not as good at life drawing, copying, in that sense. Basically any refrence. But i am not really that good, when i dont have a refrence. But i dont want to do that anymore, i want to do all my own work, besides using refrence material, i will prob use some refrence material partially, and create a picture, of my own from it. But alot of this thread will be how MindCandyMan had his. Mainly because i would like help, through my progression, and so other people can see. Also, i think it will give me more motivation, to do more, paintings, and drawing, if i have this thread open, cause then i will need to submit more and more. Also, i would appreciate it if people C&C on my work, because then you can tell me if i am progressing, some differen't stuff i should do to get better.Tell me how, you all started, did you start off drawing 3d squares and circles, then went on and did what? Then What? Etc Anything!! Thanks
Hope you all can help. And possibly beginners, like me, when this is all finished, see that you can improve. So basically what i am doing, is posting all my practise stuff, to show what i do, Throughout my whole progression. But i would also like help from other people.
What i am really aiming for is to become proffessional. Also, to help other beginners, look back, for the ones that dont have the courage, thinking they will never get better, they can look at this, and see that i did it.
Here is a cube tutorial i did:
With tutorial:
Without tutorial:
And a apple!
I will post more, very soon. But people please give me support, tips etc... _________________ When you look at a blank canvas or drawing paper, it stares you in the eyes and thinks it can beat you.~ Justin Beckett |

i like the crosshatched shading you did on the self portraits, particularly the first one. the main problem i see with them is the eyes are disportionately large. |

disproportionate - not in proportion.
in this case that's 'too big to match the rest'.
Your drawing looks stronger than painting which isn't a bad thing.
Try just instead of colouring a shape with light and dark - the circle of the apple and the six sided, 'cube' shape - try thinking about the shape as representing a real object, and that different points on its surface are closer and farther from you and are facing different directions. Just remember when colouring that the object is in a SPACE and takes up space reaching back and forward. just that feeling, and a bit of thinking, should help. Don't allow yourself to see the truth of a 2d surface at the moment, you have to believe in the illusion of space that you are trying to create.
fuzzy, vague advice, sorry. |

I will keep that in mind thanks, and as for shading goes, for my drawing, i was doing that type of shading, because i did these a quick sketch, my main goal, is to sketch them out really fast, the same thing, not totally carring, what it looks like, and gain speed, and remember what i sketched? _________________ When you look at a blank canvas or drawing paper, it stares you in the eyes and thinks it can beat you.~ Justin Beckett |
