Drawing from both imagination & ref. no erasing, just committing to the lines with no undersketching to grow line confidence. NO PERFECTIONISM.
Above is a digital sketch I did at the very end of my summer. I am super proud of the line confidence I have achieved. all those sketchbook pages really paid off and I'm loving the ability to stylise what I see in reference images to make them more visually appealing. The minor changes really make all the difference and shows I am no longer a slave to my reference :D!
2024 SUMMER
Bottom Left is alright
I Like Number 2 & 6 (Photo Ref)
Pen & Colouring pencil to warm up
I Like Number 3
Loved working with the brush pens. Need to work on exageration and rendering
The middle one was quite fun to draw. I quite like how it looks too
Like the colour combination of blues and yellow though I didn't use it well
Quite a strange page. I like the hand on the centre top right
Hands from imagination
Quite nice movement and flow but lacks form & Structure through straighter lines
Realy had fun with this page. Green head is the only outcome I'm pleased with
Top Left girl is very expressive.
+ more pages that are far too messy and not worth putting here
2025 SUMMER
drawing in pen I can tottally see an improvement in accuracy in comparison to a year ago. when i draw a face, features are instantly drawn in an anatomically correct place. my lineweight has also improved. these pages may seem less colourful and fun but that is because being home, I dont have all the cook pens I left back at uni. I have to say I think I enjoyed the process with far less anxiety than the previous pages posted here.
