When I was learning how to draw I would research the subject until I had a blueprint of the archetype in my mind. So if I wanted to draw a wolf in a certain posture and couldn't find that angle or breed, I would look at dozens of pictures and watch videos for a long time until I could imagine the creature with in any range of motion it was capable of as a motion picture in my head I could pause at any time.
Funny that I practiced that kind of stuff so much and I still struggle to put on paper exactly what I see in my head but I've become pleased with my results anyway, and I get closer to drawing what I intended.
I run nature scenes in my head with imagined wildlife to help me fall asleep. Lots of flying imagery too looking down on everything.
I find it hard to believe there are humans not capable of imagining even a simple apple in their head. What scrubs
Fluoridated and mongrelized. That is the future (((they))) want for us.
Well, I'm going to make the smaller world look like a masterpiece so the abled body men can go forth and vanquish our foes. I've gotten pretty good at feeding an army if I do say so myself. Fiance asks for a sammich and BAM there it is
I know where you're coming from.
I leant to draw when I was a kid mostly from copying art from graphic novels and comics. 2000ad Judge Dredd that kind of thing.
I had a big poster on my wall of an airbrush showing all the insides of the mechanisms ect and always wanted to try it.
As I got older and started to earn money I brought my first airbrush when I was about 16.
Now I paint huge images on sheets of ply but I am about to start painting motorcycles as well because my friends convinced me I was good enough to paint their bikes.
Never stop drawing, painting or what ever medium you enjoy, it's good for the soul.
I don't paint for a job just a hobby but sometimes I make money from it too.
That's very cool! I used to do a lot of fabrication work, graduated highschool with a welding cert. We would take our finished fab jobs and hang them in the painting booth on a couple different jobs. We mixed our own paints and put them in a paint gun to coat it. One job had a professional come in and give us a class on how to mix automotive paint and apply an even coat. Very fun stuff!
In my highschool-tradeschool-college situation there were people in automotive class that got special classes on how to apply detailed art to the cars and damn they got good at the end there.
Someone once said that airbrush painting was cheating, but I say if you ain't cheating you aint trying. Besides, they're just jealous. No one can make air brush look good unless they're a skilled artist.
Huzzah! Side money with art is great! Do your buddy's bike proud!
Do your buddy's bike proud! Thanks mate I will.
special classes on how to apply detailed art to the cars That sounds like an amazing school, is that in the United States?
I do free hand airbrushing so I don't use stencils just free hand. Anyone who thinks it's cheating clearly has no idea how to draw with a pen or brush.
