Daily Gestures 03

 So, I'm going back to college in about 24 days, and, honestly i can't wait. i love drawing and being at school it makes me work to get really good drawings. There was one problem that i did face last year, and that was people thinking i was copying them.

 Now, when i say copy, i wasn't plagiarizing them, i was drawing in their style, to see how they draw and adapt it to mine to get better.Say, for instance, i drew only realistic stuff, and someone else drew really cartoony, but the way they paint hair was interesting, i would try to draw in that style. I find it funny because it wasn't even for school! it was personal. its the same as when you look online for an artist who's work you like, and copy it to learn. its the same principal. But i got told shit like "Draw your own stuff, It's not your style" The audacity of people! just because i draw something different from what i would normally do, doesn't mean that you have to stick to that one style or way of drawing!

 People really do piss me off sometimes, but to be fair, there was quite a few people in my class, they HATED it when people would even look at their work. They hated the teachers because one would walk around the class once, and you would HAVE to ask them for help, then we had a new teacher, and they HATED that he cared too much.

Some people don't know how to work together and help each other, help a fellow artist out with something they've been struggling with. That's how it should be, we all share our ways, help one another, instead of leaving others in the dirt struggling...

Anyway, thatls enough of a rant from me, here's some Gestures, I'm doing these in around 90 seconds each, to learn speed and thumb-nailing, something of which i struggle with.

                                                   

Daily Gestures 02

So, My scanner died. feels really bad. i don't know whats wrong with it or how to fix, it just wont connect to my pc so gonna have to deal with phone quality for awhile...

i apologize for being late too, I'm working with my friend who does web design to give this blog a more interesting look, so there's going to be a bit of a schedule delay (don't want to screw something up by posting)

Here is the second Gesture drawing set. its my hope that after about 20 or so that my drawings should be seeing an improvement.

 I'm tired of seeing my work in comparison to other peoples, i understand that what i draw is barely sub-par, so my entire theory on doing this blog, is to get better at my work, show others a journey from being meh to pretty good. I'm in no position to be able to give advice to anyone, if you want that, i can do my best for you guys, but, i just want to show people that i can do stuff.

What i lack in talent, i make up for in work ethic, and that's something that you cant really learn. Talent can be taught, that's easy to get, work ethic, I've seen many of my friends suffer because they either care for their work too much, leave everything to the last minute, or put it off completely.

  I've been listening to a lot of Gary Vaynerchek talks and, most of the time, he talks about three things. Self awareness, to be able to know who you are and what you are capable of. I know that my art needs A LOT of Work to be anywhere near good enough for the big wide world. all i want to do is draw. its my passion, and i want to make it in this industry.

Eat shit for a year or two, and you'll be set for the next few years

Daily Gestures: 01

Okay, I finally have a schedule i'm going to keep to, Starting with this series, everyday, i will be doing Gesture Drawings,  and keeping them all on a separate page so later down the track, me and everyone can see my progress.

Then i will have two more posts, my last one will be what i have done as a days work, and the other one will just be a sketch or something i found interesting (or an experience etc)

So without any a due, here is the first Daily Gesture Post.

so, the entire point of this for me, is to loosen up my hand for a days work. (get the crap drawings out the way) but also, to hone up on something that i have a lot of problems with, posing. im hoping the more i draw gesture poses, the better i can get. doing these is really fun since there is no right and wrong its just, do it ( don't let your dreams be dreams)
