Here’s another “Quick Sketch” I did the another night. Keep in mind the goal of doing these impromptu drawings is to keep the skills sharp and to work out the good ol’ hand-eye coordination that allows us to draw or paint.
Are you someone that feels like you “used to draw” or “used to paint” and that you don’t have the gift anymore? POPPYCOCK! God doesn’t take the gift that He’s imparted within you back:
“For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. (He never withdraws them when once they are given,
and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.)”
Romans 11:29 (Amplified Bible)
So here’s another example of what I do to keep the gift sharp and to keep it from getting rusty. I call this one “The Tough Guy” (crank your speakers up!):
Wow, Devin, that’s a good question.
I guess I’m at a stage in creating to where I’m trying to define my approach in storytelling opposed from styles…I think I have my style down, now I’m fighting the urge in being one-sided and limited to just the front-view, side view, 3/4 view.
Does that make sense?
What do you do to go beyond your angles and perspectives and view points?
Basically, I want to begin to involve the entire scene in with the story…I need to stop being too lazy to be honest with you.
I hear you Gimel. I have been learning what my style is as I work on my comic. I definitely have a style now and it slows me down when I try to emulate others. I think that your style is what flows out of you naturally after a while and it feels awkward to do it any other way.
When you do your stuff, do you easily flow in a particular look or feel more easily than others? And does it stand out from others?
You know I love to see your sketches, doc, but how are you on perspectives?
That’s what I need to practice.
Its weird how you can identify someone’s style…do you think you’ve found your “style” of drawing, yet?
