im sketching / art tips ig?
hey everyone!!
so recently i've been thinking of drawing everyday to help inprove my art. i decided to draw everything with pen because theyre meant to just be sketches to help my style, etc.
over a week ago i started.. and basically it was just some lame stuff i could think of. i wasnt really motivated, drew some trees that were half-assed, looked like broccoli, and some other random stuff. i then thought-- "im not in the mood." and gave up (1st pic)
gradually it got better along the week.. i missed a day for drawing, whatever. still wasnt really motivated. i then thought this is dumb. why did i do this smh. drew people who werent even in my stories, just random stuff again. (2nd pic)
and so here we are now. after drawing todays sketches, which i only gave myself about half a page to draw on oof, i felt a bit better about myself. i drew a terrible girl idk that was just terrible. then drew some eyes and stuff, decided that this is how i wanna draw eyes, drew hisashi looking asian af as a kid and lucas being a kid as well. (3rd pic)
.
i had a much better plan when i thought about posting this--
.
anyways i just wanna say. im going to be posting my sketches every couple of days, and talking about it. the sketches are still pretty bad buttt whatever lol.
also, this feels pretty raw tbh. almost all of my personal art lately has been painting so putting out sketches feels weird because theyre kinda.. Ahem ugly lmfAO.
but i can't wait to see the improvement 😉

TIPS:
if you guys want to expand on your style, help yourself in art i recommend taking a set amount of time each day to just doodle and sketch. it really helps. instead of doing your bigger art projects you just settle and take a break and draw some stuff that looks like sh*t but it doesnt really matter because no one will really see it :) and you just have to allow yourself to not get frustrated if things dont turn out right.
sketching in pen is great when its just a sketch, i feel. if youre just doing fun stuff. with pencils you can erase, and nitpick at stuff that you dont like. oh, this looks terrible *erase* oh his eye is lopsided *erase* oh why did i draw his nose like this *erase*. I feel like at that point, youre not really sketching for fun, but more criticizing and perfecting your work, which is not needed.
drawing in pen can also help you see, and look back on what you need to improve on. with todays sketch i see that i need to work on drawing both the eyes. i was lazy and i didnt, using an excuse of winks or whatever. i also need to work on face shape.
if i had done this in a pencil i could of just easily erased and fixed it, and forgot about it. and it wouldve been a problem in my next drawing.
but now i remember for tomorrow's sketches; do both eyes. fix face shape.

thats all for today. hope this was helpful, if anyone even read it oops. have a good night :)
