altuixde's learning to draw thread
Amazing_Grace:
I'm still incredibly impressed by you despite your confession. I think everyone uses skeletons and reference points when they're still kinda starting out. Heck, I've been drawing for years (like, six of them), and I STILL use skeletons and sketch out everything.
Also your inking is perfect. I'm jelly.
So, keep up the great work! Your art is still fabulous even if you do use references!
altuixde:
Thanks for your encouragement and continued interest, Grace (and everyone)! I wish I could be trained to draw simple shapes without the help of reference points. I should bring a pad of paper and a pencil with me wherever I go, and whenever I have bits of idle time I can practice drawing shapes. ;D

You're very welcome! :3 Don't worry too much about that. Lots of people need to use reference points, so it's not like there's anything wrong with it. :3 I can't draw shapes either. :P

I uploaded this after all:
This is my first fairly successful attempt to draw an entire (non-chibi) human. She looks kind of sleepy, or hypnotized. Since I hadn't inked in a while, I was afraid that I would mess up during the inking and I was afraid to use my wider markers. It turns out that drawing a line with a wide marker produces a smoother line than going over it multiple times with a thin marker.
Hopefully I'll be drawing more from now on. I'm not going to wait until the end of the day to start drawing, because by the end of the day I feel tired and useless and I tell myself I'll just draw the next day. Also, I bought a paperweight with a quote on it by Ben Franklin that says, "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." I can't write to save my life, but I can choose to do things instead of wasting time! :)

You're so good at drawing hands! :o
Lucky. XD
But seriously, this looks really nice. :D
