Quick scribble of the day 🖌️🎨💖 Actually for the quick sketch exercise it was, I am extremely satisfied 🤗 #foryoupagе #myart #elvispresley #sketch #practice
Hello, I recently felt like drawing again after 5 years and I noticed that when I drew before, I didn't really try a lot. I'm trying to start drawing cars and anime characters. There are a multitude of resources online for anime characters, but I don't know which ones are particularly good. In contrast, there are almost no resources about drawing cars past the 5 videos that I found on youtube. Any help regarding both these styles will be appreciated. Thank You.
Trying to get the proportions right without a grid. Still lots of practice needed!
Trying out a new style ! Any feedback or tips?
I was trying to practice my construction skills by breaking things down in shapes but I still struggle with them. I tried to draw a hammer, chair, water bottle, and a vacuum cleaner that was around me at the time. I want to be able to understand the shapes and construction parts better so that I’m able to draw complicated things easier.
Any advice on how to improve and understand what I’m doing better?
I sketched some Elastigirl face concepts early and was curious which one looked the best. The ones on the top left and top middle are an idea I played with of her having the white eyes like comic Batman or Wolverine
Yes this isn't a super sayian transformation but I'm asking for the effect?
The current concept for this oc is a mix of inception and that weird city scape in doctor Strange
Or some mystical abstract kinda want stuff idk how to properly convey it lol.
But I've never been sure how to paint the energy auras do you normally just draw shapes outlining characters?
Or is it painted over the character?
Original Ian Mcque
I can’t seem to figure it out, it feels like there’s something off about his head? Like his head is too big/shoulders too small
I wanted to draw peach in mario strikers, but boy it was a lot harder than I first expected, I can't draw hands from imagination and the grass was way beyond my current understanding.
