Great idea for a thread! Reminds me of my failed sketchbook at Conceptart.org which contains a grand total of four drawings, harharhar! Not sure if they count as awful, though. For each drawing I spent hours constructing the perspective and then rendering them. That's how I tried to make up for my inability to draw in a…
The only thing I can draw sort of okay sometimes: stupid cartoony characters. And even then I usually spend WAY too much time on them and hide bad lines/shapes with sloppy details. Anyway. I did some live drawing. A while ago. Planning on picking it up again next week and motivate myself to go to at least a session a week.…
Well put ysalex. I'm ex 3d generalist student. Pretty late in the game, hope to pick 2d skills for the joy. Suggest everyone to get Scott Robertson's how to draw book...Closest to a poly modeller and i hope we can have fun drawing together. Gonna brush up my 3d too as i go.
Also known as the poly count school for people who can't draw good and stuff. So inspired by the number of people in the 'Does a good 3D Artist need to be a good 2D Artist?' who don't know how to draw, I decided to create this thread. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93354 So if you suck at 2d and want to…
One of the things that excites me most about my Industrial Design course at the moment is that I'm finally learning to sketch properly. We're only a little way in so I don't have much to show for it yet, but they're very big on weeding out bad technique quickly. One thing they're very big on is confidence of linework.…
This thread sounds like a great idea. I'm horrible at drawing. I'd like to be really good at 2D work but lately I've been doing 3D work almost 70 hours a week! Concept art is more creative and I really like it. 3D I feel like I'm tracing lines lol. I've always drawn a lot growing up. Whenever I try to learn those drawing…
I made an effort to learn to draw a bit better this year. I'm not sure if this helps, but forcing myself to use a hard edged brush with a high opacity helped me to actually think about defining the shapes I was putting down rather than hiding behind smudges and blending. This is an awesome thread. :)
I love this thread. Here is a cross post from my sketchbook thread that I just started the other day. I am a high school student wanting to attend gnomon and I am working on traditional skills now so this thread is perfect. Here are some portraits, gesture drawings, and random sketches. Crits Welcome ;)
