The Sketch a Day Thread!

[bulgariansumo]

I haven't started this series yet, but it's my 10th anniversary of having these characters, so I'm doing a picture!

[l_vi]

This is Max. One of my side character, and right now, he's checking his new braces from the glass of a shop window

Working on a longtime dream of mine, and this radio background is part of that.

Need to animate it still, adjust a few things, but this is the base form of it. Based on actual FM/AM radio with Bluetooth functionality I bought a little while ago.

Imagine we will all continue this thread for 10 years and how good everyone will be

Imagine we will all continue this thread for 10 years and how good everyone will be

That would actually be really interesting to watch

@l_vi aw, I feel him I just got my bracers half a year ago and it's a very weird feeling (especially when your teeth are not standing weird lol)

I am having such an affair with this AU pffff

Today I finally was patient enough to redraw a better ref of Sanariya's work desktops.

[Enigma_the_Slimy_Boi]

Ta-dah.

[Lensing]

Which leads me to the thought what to do to get better.
I did get better at drawing in the last 8 years but didn´t get better in the years before that.

I know artists who draw a lot and they stay on the same good or bad level
and some who start bad and become great in a short or long time period.

I took your picture as a reference to draw eyes of a character, the moment before
she kissed a dude

[Kelheor]

@Lensing I guess that's applied desire to actually change something that counts the most, working on the changes, not just... continuing doing things without giving them much thought. And the ability to recognize that moment when the progress actually happens

Ah, gotcha I love the pictures of "almost kiss", they are always so personal and sensual because of that.

Ohhh Dark saw my sketches and now wants to make a story arc with these designs, huhuhuhu

[Lensing]

You are right about that, that´s what counts the most.
I think everyone gets a little bit better and faster by drawing a lot.
My tactic at the moment is:
-finishing pages from script to colors.
-reviewing them
-practicing what I´m not good at
I didn´t finish enough pieces in the last years and especially
not comic pages.

Kissing, the moment before kissing etc that´s my favoite moments
in comics

[DanielRKM]

Yeah, dude! Also- what does Sanariya do with those feathers? Are they her feathers?

[allenT]

(post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in 24 hours unless flagged)

[allenT]

Not hers, nope. Just decors.

[l_vi]

Really? How long do you have to wear it? Just curious though

Fun fact btw: His teeth are pretty much okay, but his mother wants to make perfect

[Kelheor]

Doc said like... A year and a half or something like that. After that you have to wear a permanent retainer for about 2 times more than you wore bracers (so I guess 3 more years for me). I'd never thought I have any problems, but turned out I have a wrong kind of bite, so here I am xD not something I'd assume I would be doing in my age hahaha

[Lensing]

Still no time for practice or sketches. All I sketched today was one hand.

I inked the whole day and I´m slow but that´s because I had to change a lot of the text
on the page, I´ll get the inks done today and will continue with the flats tomorrow.
I need 4 days for a page at the moment, writing, sketches, inks and flats.
I hope I´ll get fast in the next months.

I´ll go to the toy shop now and buy a tangram game

[AmazementComics]

That’s exactly right. In the past 3 years, I’ve seen my art improve. I even made the transition to digits art in 2020. Although at the moment I don’t have access to my tablet, so I can’t work on some of my comic series that are digital in art form. But I do like to show my art evolution with even just traditional art.

Everyone has been giving great tips on how to get better, either by giving links to anatomy drawings or by telling others what they need to work on so that’s been helpful.

Hoooooly over 1300 new posts here since I’ve been gone - so much to catch up! Carpal tunnel gone and my day is steadily getting a little more predictable so I’m hoping to squeeze some drawing back into my life, even if it’s only a bit :).

I probably won’t play this game but I’d like to get a copy for Mig and spectate - it looks fun!

[Lensing]

Welcome back, good that the carpal tunnel thing is gone
and great drawing

[Legendofgenii]

@migxmeg Yay you’re back! I hope all is well. I was beginning to worry. ️
