altuixde's learning to draw thread

When inking this I should've made the white shiny spots on the eyes big initially, and then carefully made them smaller until they looked right. Instead, I made them small initially. D'oh! I'd also like to make the wave-like posture better and clean up some of the uneven lines. Oh well. Just gotta learn from my mistakes and move on.

Even with the mistakes you mentioned, this is still an amazing drawing! Well done, my friend. Keep up the good work.
altuixde:
Ah, thanks! :D
Amazing_Grace:
I'm still impressed.
Not only can you draw heads well, but you got the chibi style down-pat and you can actually ink without messing everything up.
You've earned my respect. XD
altuixde:
Thanks Grace. :)
Nevertheless, I'm worried about what I'll be able to do once I run out of exercises. The only art form I've had experience with before drawing is music (I used to play the violin). A performer usually plays music composed by other people, and it's OK to play a piece more than once. With drawing I'd like to draw characters (albeit characters created by others) in originally composed scenes and poses, and I can't draw the same things over and over. So there's some more of the composer side required in drawing, in addition to the performer side. I guess it doesn't really matter, though, because I enjoy drawing, and I'll keep drawing as long as it's fun.

I really like your work. Seeing as you're practically new, you've really progressed so fast that's it's kinda scary. Yes, I'm actually lurking in these threads. Sometimes I feel like if I speak, I might break something...

Well, you can always attempt to mimic characters and poses you might find lying in the internet (The Cinderella Girls cards are a huge but still supplying source of that. lol), and can even assimilate some aspects of other people's art styles into your own, 'upgrading' your own style in the process. I find that trying to capture even just the poses of what other artists have done both challenging and enjoyable to try.
Regardless of what you do, the important thing is to enjoy drawing. It can reflect the emotion we give to it towards others, and even invoke an emotion to them.
