Thanks for sharing this ^^Check out this tutorial of his on drawing faces.
Man, a lot of great submissions in here and it's encouraging seeing people going at it so hard!
However, I don't think I'll be able to draw something for today (1 hour til midnight left), will I be shunned and laughed at?
Yes you will xD How about a stick figure? You can do it I believe in you!
It all depends on how long my call with my gf is! I'll try my best

I like the curve of the sketch girls face better. Took like 2 hours because I was being dumb.
This thread would be cool with daily themes or something, updated in the OP or even title. I wanna draw stuff but can't figure out what to draw.

For some reason I thought this thread was in gaming :/
next time I'll draw random instead of game related.
Day 2
Paint Tool Sai

Pretty tired today, so I didn't draw too much. :\
If you post 2 tomorrow, it's all goodMan, a lot of great submissions in here and it's encouraging seeing people going at it so hard!

Day 2
Time: I haven't really been timing myself, but I'd say 30 minutes or so.
Medium: 2b Pencil
Notes: I'm going to try drawing the bottle alone later. Still need to work on curved lines and measuring proportions.

Alright, here's my sketch from last night, did this in some 20 minutes while skyping with my gf. It wasn't a nice conversation. Anyway, done in all ballpoint pen. Got a wedding today so I probably won't be able to draw today since I won't be able to come home tonight. I'll do two on Monday instead!
I like this.
Grats on the wedding too!
Hah thanks! It's a friend's wedding though.
Keikaku said:My first month of art school was defined by almost 300 pages (front and back!) of drawing boxes in various shapes, sizes, orientation and lighting conditions. It helped tremendously
Time: 70 minutes
Medium: Photoshop CS5.1, Intuos4, Space Navigator
Notes: Used some low resolution picture of a body builder. It was hard to make some parts out, so I used my knowledge of anatomy to fill in the blanks.
I'll be sure to tell himOh, haha. Well, grats to Groof's friend!
I was doing one last refresh on the thread before heading to bed and saw this so I figured I would give a bit more detail. Here's a typical regimen:Think I'll add this to my daily tasks.
oh. oh my.
S memo. 10 minutes or so.
I was doing one last refresh on the thread before heading to bed and saw this so I figured I would give a bit more detail. Here's a typical regimen:
I can give a bit more detailed beginners tutorials tomorrow, if there's interest.
- Get a sketchbook that is at least 9" x 12". You will usually find them in a book of about 100 sheets.
- Divide each side of a page into 4 equally sized spaces (do this only for the required number of pages talked about below) then do the following:
- 2 sets of 4, 30 sec drawings of your setup of boxes. These should focus exclusively on proportion and layout. Be quick, decisive and strict with your allotted time.
- 2 sets of 4, 1 minute drawings of your setup of boxes. Same as above but try to be more precise with the proportions of each sketch.
- 2 sets of 4, 5 minute drawings of your setup of boxes. Finalize the proportions and add some quick shadows/details.
- 2 sets of 4, 10 minute drawings of your setup of boxes. Even more details and your proportions should be set now.
- 2 sets of 2, 15 minute drawings of your setup of boxes (here you split these pages in half and draw your 2 drawings on each page. Lotso details!
- Take one whole page to draw a 30 minute drawing of the boxes. This should be the most detailed one yet. Even more detail with an emphasis on shadows, interior details of an object (i.e. not just the shape of the book but whether or not the cover is bent upwards in one corner or where there are varying creases)
- At the end of this, you should have 5.5 pages (front and back) of drawings and it should have taken you 150 minutes or 2.5 hours to do this.
- Shuffle your boxes around and change the lighting, if possible.
- Rinse and repeat.
- Does the above sound like a lot of work? It is. It's also a great way to improve very, very quickly provided you do the work.
- Don't press down hard on the pencil. Try to be light with your touch so that the pencil marks don't show through to the next page and fuck up your drawings there.
Just gotta say that I really like this, especially the brush. What kind of brush is it?
I'll be sure to tell him
Thanks a ton, man! I'll try 'em out tomorrow.Thanks. It's called "Pastel on Charcoal Paper". A while back I grabbed a bunch of brushes from various websites and that's what I use today.
Here's a Dropbox link. Quote to reveal:
I got a good chuckle out of this one. Nicely done!My sketch for today. Thought I would play around with some character design.
- 20 mins
- Photoshop CS3, Cintiq
45minutes, CS5.
comment: Faces have been my nemesis for so damn long, I shall conquer them once and for all dammit!
This guy is a former concept artist from ArenaNet. Check out this tutorial of his on drawing faces.
Some tips from my own experience:
- Your time should be split 75/25 on proportion versus details. If you spend the time to make sure that you have the proportion of all the various faces parts correct relative to each other, you'll find that details are almost trivial to put in.
- Generally speaking, the outer edges/top of the eyes line up with the top of the ear.
- The bottom of the nose lines up with the bottom of the ears.
- Faces are not always symmetrical. Don't worry too much unless you end up drawing something sub-human looking.
- DON'T DRAW HARD OUTLINES TO BEGIN. Focus on proportion, general shapes, sizes and placement then shading details.
EDIT: Work on drawing your own face from a mirror and you should see rapid improvement. Here's my progression with my face over 6 months and you can see how proportion gets better.
This took maybe 20 or so min.[/URL][/IMG]
