And yet some are clawing their eyes out with work, getting four hours of sleep a night while others are getting it finished with no sweat, and both parties have the same amount of work to do.
The latter group simply knows how to sit down and work. It's something that I brought up in Ikage's thread, and unfortunately i've yet to go further into depth with it, but once you figure out how to do this properly, doing assignments and personal work becomes 200% easier.
I heard my name what's going o-Oh my Loom that is well you are improving so awesomely though the bow atop the head is amazing.
And I believe Loom is actually spending all his time dedicated to this. Wake up eat whatever he can forage, mainly his favorite- MMM MINI WHEATS~ And just class all day. I'm assuming that's why he is making leaps and bounds.
last i spoke to him, loomdun was drawing so much he was giving himself migraines
i don't think he posts all of the work he does
just the stuff he wants comments on
i only really post about a quarter of the work i do
actually... now that i'm in school and freelancing full time, that number has dropped to about 1%.
whaaa, I don't even do stuff with people unless its drawing at the zoo or eating food, that's kind of a bold statement godfather when you talk about your school a lot but neverrrr post work, at least I think, I dont know, i'm going to go doodle now, oh god my mother is aiming me
Oh don't get me wrong, this was not intended to be a slam on Loom! Honest!
I'm just curious as to how he works. Sets up his time and all that.
It's one thing to draw all the time, but if you're giving yourself migraines over it something is amiss!
How do you organize your sketchbook? What kind of exercises do you do? These are important questions! Maybe if I could see a little bit of how you organize your time I could offer better tips and tricks. As of right now, yes, I don't really have ground to offer much advice because I simply don't know how things work over in Watts.
Also I never have time to post my work because i'm usually bogged down with fifteen assignments on a weekly basis, and we're not making art, we're doing technical exercises. You don't really start creating stand alone products until year three, when everything you do comes together full circle. Also it's a lot of animation stuff that's either kept at the school or impossible to scan.
so anyways, i've been trying to copy this andrew loomis drawing, and I thought ehhhhh I could just eye it, and eyeing it has proven to be kind of hard, I used a line at least to help me pick a spot to place it, i'll be toning it once i make sure its perfectlyyy measured
Looking good, loom! Keep spending a lot of time in the measuring/perfecting stage...and definitely try to keep things more angular to start out, it'll make the curves more accurate.
I second projeck just because you seemed to capture the guys SSSsssouuUUUuoooOOOoooolllll well enough which is insanely hard to do as an artist.
You can know everything sometimes but show no feeling behind the person.
That guy? I would enjoy him as a grandfather. Or teaching me about how dinosaurs are made from mosquitoes from really old fossilized amber with fun animations!
Also can't wait to see how your loomis project turns out.
oh thank you ikage, today was pretty awesome, I managed to learn in class which was kind of intense on my head, it still feels a little squishy but my measurement has gotten really strong, I can confidently place down a drawing and go, this will touch the top to the bottom and be generally proportionate every time
the first 2 were a tad sloppy and then my instructor helped me learn a bit more and drew on the third one, so i'll just show the end results of my last 2 20 minute lay ins
edit: In case anyone is wondering, usually what happens is I learn new things mid class, applied what I theorized the week before after class, then build upon these and repeat the process, today, I came in and built up off my theory, but not only did I do this but I then reinforced it and then I managed to create a entirely new process and then apply this process and then create a entirely new thing to build on after that, it was, something else.
thanks, I didn't intend for the circle to be that LOOK AT ITTT, Its just I rather not lovingly sculpt a amazingly detailed penis when my time is rather limited.
Today I played around with a 2 tone drawing, it was a fun change and I learned a lot today, and then I shall use what i learned to perform even BETTERRR!!
also I updated my deviant art stuff with 2 more pictures
edit: I was basically done with it and then I played around with shape design for 40 minutes
thanks, today was pretty neat, I did the cloth study in half the time it normally takes me (we started working on master copies in class a hour before it was over)
and heres some portraits I drew in the 20 minute head lay in
Those last 20 minute heads look really rushed.. I think you're trying to do way too much in 20 minutes. A more advanced person wouldn't even be trying to get as much as you're getting if it were a longer pose. Slow way way down.
I usually accidently rush myself a lot in the 20 minute head pose classes, its a horrible habit, i'll make sure to push extremee slowness next time, I can do that hopefully
I think in a lot of your 3/4 view head portraits, you're squishing the head too much in the back, and not leaving room for it. Maybe it's the large section of hair'd head that you're not measuring properly, but it seems like you're having this issue pretty consistently. Might be a thing to watch out for.
yah I just figured out something that I can do next time that should not only help me slow down but make it more accurate, hopefully, I dont know I never say something will succeed till results are shown

You need to put some serious consideration into setting up a proper work schedule.
And yet some are clawing their eyes out with work, getting four hours of sleep a night while others are getting it finished with no sweat, and both parties have the same amount of work to do.

by the way I have been enjoying your progress for awhile, you've gotten quite a bit better lately at communicating more crucial data with less strokes
Today I played around with a 2 tone drawing, it was a fun change and I learned a lot today, and then I shall use what i learned to perform even BETTERRR!!
also I updated my deviant art stuff with 2 more pictures

Or he is a very strange looking guy.
and heres some portraits I drew in the 20 minute head lay in
It needs more contrast and push and pull, the values all very same-y.
I'm loving your fabric studies because there's a lot of contrast between the cloth, the folds and the background.
