altuixde's learning to draw thread
altuixde:
Ah, thanks! :D
Her right hand actually looked a little better before I inked it, but just a little. ;)
Amazing_Grace:
Shh, don't tell people that. Let them be impressed. XD ;)
But seriously, I wish I could draw hands like you. XD
altuixde:
If anyone's curious about the reason why I haven't uploaded art in a long while, it's because I had to take on a bunch of responsibilities for a month, and the other months I was struggling to find the motivation to get back into drawing. I'm out of practice, so I'm back to drawing heads. This is an exercise from Christopher Hart's Manga for the Beginner.
I wasn't brave enough to shade the eyes with a marker, so I used pencil instead.
Here are a few thoughts that came to mind when I was drawing this:
* Inking is a lot harder than I remember it was.
* Putting the cap on the other end of the marker may help steady the marker.
* Getting the mouth right ain't easy. I tried many times to draw it in pencil, and when it comes to inking you've got only one shot to trace it correctly.
* Humidity may make your hand stick to the paper a little, which makes inking long lines at a constant velocity difficult. So turn on the air conditioner when inking?
Anyway, I hope y'all like it! ^^
