Ade filmed me drawing this morning. You might wanna turn the sound down, as I had System of a Down playing in the background and forgot...sorry.

Date: 2006-09-05 03:31 pm (UTC)I know I have very little talent when it comes to the visual arts, but I also firmly believe that they can be taught. It's not like I'll ever be in a museum, but I like to try anyway. It stretches my brain out. :)
Do you always draw top to bottom? Is it to avoid smudging? Or do you just see it that way?

Date: 2006-09-05 03:38 pm (UTC)I think they are just afraid people will catch up with them.
I draw top to bottom mainly out of habit, but I'm so used to it now that if I try it the other way things tend to get out of proportion.

Date: 2006-09-05 03:51 pm (UTC)Unfortunately, a lot of teachers need to embrace this idea. In every art or graphics class I've ever taken, I just feel stupid and unimaginative. Eventually the teacher would come "help" by doing it for me. I was never taught how I could possibly do it myself. Maybe I just had crap teachers. I dunno.
I'm looking for a book to explain it all to me. :)

As for style, the best advice I can give is to look at and copy as many different artist's styles as possible and keep drawing then eventually your own style will emerge. (I'm still working on mine!)
P.S. I have crap teachers too. Mainly because they never teach anything. I get so pissed off with them.

Date: 2006-09-05 05:30 pm (UTC)You've got a COMPLETELY different style to me :)
I have to lightly sketch it all out before putting any lines down. I have to draw the entire head in before sticking the details inside. Plus you're a damn sight quicker. That's so nice to see! :D
I wish I was that confident with lines, but I have to do 'hairy' lines before I set the 'thick' one :D
Thanks for that! :D

Date: 2006-09-05 06:35 pm (UTC)Sometimes I think I should do more hairy lines and shapes. I guess I'm just so used to mark-making the way I do its difficult to break out of the habit, but I do try now and then.

And wobbly as I was trying to draw with one hand and hold the camera steady with the other.
