altuixde's learning to draw thread
altuixde:
I feel like I've been misleading everyone, so I'm gonna come clean. Here's what the drawings look like before inking:
As you can see, I draw all sorts of reference points to help me. I use a ruler and a calculator so that the reference points are in the same place as they are in the drawings I've copied. I've been doing this more over time, which created the illusion of improvement. I don't deserve the praise I've been getting.

Ironically, this makes me respect you even further as an artist. Your sketches look very detailed and your inking looks incredibly professional. Well-done. Very well-done.

Just so you know, the reference points are the little dots. For example, the dot on the tip of her chin and the corners of her jaw in this one:
I'd never be able to draw her face properly freehand. But, thank you anyway, MetalPredat0r.
And Marx, thanks for checking out my art thread. Hopefully this revelation wasn't too much of a disappointment.

I... don't see why I should be disappointed. The sketches on their own look good. And the fact that you've applied geometry into your drawings is a great skill in itself.

I'm glad that you don't think that the method I've been using is so bad. :)
Well, on to the next one. I'm currently working on a drawing of someone walking ("Hitting Your Stride" from Mastering Manga). I'm not sure if I'll upload it because it's mostly a study of a character in motion; her face is a little expressionless. But after I finish that I think I'll draw something that isn't from Mastering Manga.
