Art Lesson: Line Confidence & Shapes
As requested by @blondcurly​
This is focused on the basics for people learning to draw, if you’d like something for the more experienced feel free to send an ask or hop into my dms
---LINE CONFIDENCE---
Tumblr media
Line confidence is really important for honing ones art skills. It means the artist doesn’t need many lines for whatever it is they are drawing and usually improves the quality of said drawing.
Tumblr media
That being said, the scratchy look can be good for specific things like making something appear creepy, show action, or look intense. But I recommend avoiding that unless you want everything to look creepy or intense.
Tumblr media
Ways you can gain more line confidence is to make it impossible to take the lines you’ve drawn back. 
If you’re drawing on paper you can use a pen instead of a pencil. That way you get used to committing to the lines you’ve draw and begin to draw better lines. I recommend either a ball point pen or a sharpie.
For digital art practice drawing without using the back button or eraser.
---SHAPES---
Tumblr media
Anatomy is hard so it’s a good idea to practice breaking the body into shapes. Any shapes you want. If you like a softer art style keep the shapes round and if you like sharp then do angular shapes. It is art after all, not science. So have fun.
Tumblr media
There are no rules when it comes to the shapes in art, it’s all a matter of style. If you want a more realistic style keep the shapes close in size to how they are in reality. If you want something more cartoony exaggerate those shapes and feel free to push the boundaries.
That’s all for now. I’ll gladly answer questions in the comments below and to any questions in reblogs

I struggle with art tutorials because they never tell me how they know to do whatever they're doing.
"we'll start with the highlights. Just add these wherever you like... Add some small lines like this"
Why? How do I know where to put those spots and lines? What are they there for? Will we be painting on top of them or off the side? What are the highlights purpose?
"Add some shading with the darker colors along here and wherever you think there needs to be some contrast"
What color are the shadows? How do I know how the shading should lay? How far do they extend? How do I avoid adding too much? How do I figure out where I want these shadows. What will they do? What should I consider when adding them?
TELL ME WHY THIS HAPPENS SO I CAN APPLY IT TO ANYTHING. PLEASE DO NOT JUST SHOW NE WHAT TO DO IM GOING INSANSE

absolutely obsessed when young artists get into drawing through something with crazy imagery like The Divine Comedy because that combination produces the most incredibly surreal images with the lack of technical knowledge that instead makes it incredibly unique

Another practice meme redraw. I was originally doing Blocky Palaeo but the bottom one started being divine so I ran with it. I've only done two of these so far but I suddenly understand the value of the exercise. Redraws cut down the "mental load" of making art into something more startable, which makes you more likely to actually draw, and all drawing is practice, so oops you actually practiced.

Some hand practice mixed in with some deltarune for good measure ٩(ˊᗜˋ)و
There was supposed to be a third piece but I lost motivation so it's only these two (for now)

I got inspired by @applestruda ‘s drawing of Grian to try my hand at drawing him! I’m working my way up to wings still, though : ]

Video
youtube
I want to share this video with other artists on here. Just came across it in my recommended Youtube videos, and it makes so much sense to me. It teaches you how to think about the anatomy of a ribcage, and how to make it easier to draw. I feel like this is the next step up, or maybe a step below, the bean tutorial Proko has done. 
You think you know things about your body, especially when you draw a humanoid figure, until someone’s like ‘Your shoulders move independently from your ribcage.’ and of course they do, but lul my art certainly didn’t reflect that.

Today for art practice I did a watermelon slice with water color pencils! I've never used them before and I'm not that great with watercolor in general so I figured this would be good practice since it's only 3 colors.
Oh yeah and Palestine will be free in my lifetime 🍉🇵🇸🫒

I will say, I think that image-to-image AI art might actually help beginner/learning artists as a source of inspiration, and not in the way you might think.
In that, I think it could actually serve as a good means of motivational sustenance.
Because, when starting out, I note a lot of artists get discouraged by their limitations and their inability to get what's in their head out on paper.
But the thing is, even the crappiest personal drawings make for better image-to-image bases than just "raw" AI art. Like, legit, it works super well with MS paint blobs, real art does wonders with it!
So, the idea would be, even if you feel like your piece came out a dud, you still have a new tool you own to play around with with the AI.
And hey, if you draw, you might still have yet more tools, even if you're not satisfied with the originals, and you might want to keep drawing and drawing to make more, and hey, you're getting better at it, which means your image-to-images are getting better as well, which makes you want to draw more.
Maybe soon, when you get to a certain point, you realise, "Huh, I could do better than that machine" or "I'd rather do this by hand," and that's when you know you're getting running as an artist.
Tho, of course, that doesn't address the broader social problem of why young artists feel their art needs to already be polished right out of the gate to be presentable, but that's for its own post...
