Re: Question Thread

My favorite resources are just pictures that I love. I find it helps to go through them and take note what I like about each one so I can incorporate it into my own style. Also, whenever I see a style I don't like, I take time to think about what aspects I dislike so I can avoid them.

There are a lot of different tutorial tumblrs. What type of drawing are you wanting to practice?

For focus, I think shapes are one of the most important things in drawing. It is much easier when you can see the basic shapes in an image; it makes for a less daunting task.

Another that I do is focus on one area at a time. For the moment, I'm practicing facial features. When I am satisfied with my progress on those, I'll move on to the body.

The thing that's got me motivated to work on this now is that I'd like to try turning one of my story ideas into a comic. Of course there's a lot of different styles and I'm not sure which I want now. I'll need to play around a lot more before I get a feel for that.

But for now I'm most interested in people. I've seen a few graphics that show the basic shapes of the body, like what you're talking about, and it seemed helpful. I could use some more detailed tutorials on that.

There's an art to going from realistic anatomy to more cartoonish and stylized depictions of people that still look right that I'm really interested in too.

Focusing on one thing seems like a good idea. That's kind of how I've gone about some other skills like knitting. I pick something I want to get good at, dive in and get as much practice as I can until I feel comfortable with it, and then move on to the next thing.
