every time i receive comments on my sketch pages asking how do i draw figures cleanly/is it from refs or imagination/etc, i feel the weird responsibility to clarify that i too was once bad at lines/shapes/figures😭
i started doing these as a habit from 2014!
(2015-2016) im still not the most diligent learning from refs, i draw a lot but mostly just however i like so my forms r still weak
(2017) still just draw a lot however i like, sprinkled with ref studies here and there
(2018-2019) i started studying with refs more and i esp like using the posemaniacs randomizer (idk if its still there) since its easier for me personally to see the forms as shapes
(2019 cont)
(2020) anyway with time its easier to figure out where to simplify ur lines/figure/shapes and what i can do now is the combination of ref studies and drawing characters on my own for gestures/expressions and so
(2021-2022) its not often i have the urge to be chatty on twt so this feels embarrassing but i just wanted to remind young artists that drawing is always a process and the time it takes to improve vary for each person but if u have ur clear goals u can def reach it^^
