keykNow that I've gotten a rather lengthy crit from a high school friend, and now that I've started using guidelines but am still incapable of applying sense to my drawings, I'm going to start drawing real people for awhile (although I'll sink back into the anime style because I'm fond of it). Muscles, fat, skin, anatomy, angles, lighting, sizes, positions--I need to know what makes sense and what doesn't. It's a bit difficult since I'm so used to my disproportionate drawing anime style, but I really want to become a decent artist.
Aside from people, I need animal and object practice, too, so I'll have to grab random things and doodle them. I've gotta prepare to see a world of WHAT THE HECK DID I JUST DRAW D8 for awhile. Art class would probably have really helped me, but I'm waaay too self conscious to survive drawing in groups and with a teacher, and it'd probably make me give up on art instead. Maybe when I get more confident...maybe in college. Maybe.
I love crits, and it's been a looong time since I've gotten one, so the one she gave me was really awesome. I'm still a self conscious twit, but I want to improve, so I'll just stuff it and deal with it. I'm going to hammer that idea of "I'm a horrible artist" out of my mind. I've got a lot of work ahead of me in order to do so.
Gut is still not happy. I've gotta bunch of stuff to reply to and want to reply to and overdue sketching and designing stuff, but I'm sleepy. I've been finishing some of my overdue sketch meme stuff, who are all subjected to being involved in my coloring experiments.
Not sure if you'll see this, but,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sakalayaan, I finally did your sketch request.. I'll poke you properly later.
Neglecting summer reading, tra-la-la-la-la!
I'd love to have a paintchat where people can crit each other. I really need crits, especially since I don't have a teacher.
