RE: Scribble or Scetch?
It reminds me of the howling of the wolves I keep.
It's an interesting pack you keep. Are they drawn to arts, too?
I agree that each of us has different ways of creating art or approaching it - I mean, we eventually go our own ways once we get too familiar with the basics.
I think we are all copiers first. We begin by learning the ropes and discovering different methods until we eventually discover our own style and that's when we start to go our own way. I don't know, I'm not an expert in this so I should probably won't say much...
I watched the videos you shared, It's pretty interesting. I learned that my scribbling was too stiff and frigid. When I looked at their hand movement, they were very free-flowing.
I recently bought a book about painting but there was a section there about drawing. I read an interesting tip: when drawing (especially when you're starting), don't use a pencil or charcoal as you will be tempted to correct or erase your work.
Scribbling a city might not be possible as per the youtube video, a city landscape is very much detailed - scribbling might not be the appropriate style...but I think we can always try?
Eldest draws, is a model, visagist, has a vintage shop, paints daily and teaches creativity lessons at 2 institutions.
Two are born with a pencil in their hands.. Traces of drawings everywhere, one is an animator, voice artist, filmmaker and these two are also great with computers... So I don't think they are drawn to arts 🤣
We have to copy first and figure out ourselves what works best and can be it will happen coincedentalky, most likely that will be the case. Copying is good if yiur goal is to restaurate art.
In an earlier video it was explained that the higher you hold the pen/pencil the loser the movements will be. You can tey that out. So wide movements hold the pen high, if ut should be darker and more precise hold it close to the rip/paper. I noticed that the pen and paper you use can make it more difficult ir go smoothers. My first pen kept leaking (or the second) very annoying and the bleached paper I find harder.
I never erase because I learned that if you do that you can't see your "mistajes" but also it is a trigger to make something bettee/good out of what went wrong. I like that (A top chef pastry once said: it's not about how it looks if it comes out of the oven as long as the taste is good but what you can make out of it! That's the true artist.
A city is possible I think if you focus on the big lines and leave the rest to the imagination. We all know what cities can look like although by far not every city is a big apple.
