A little message to those who are new to drawing. Most How to Draw books aren’t worth the money!

Most of the ones I’ve seen look like this:

Yeah, they show how they got from one to three but they don’t explain anything. They don’t explain anatomy or technique, just how to copy them to get the results they got. While you may learn a couple tips…[Read more]

@everyone

All y’all’s art looks amazing 🤩

Me being me, I started about four different 3-marker-drawings 🙄 but this was the first one I finished. I’m pretty happy with it for the most part.

(Sorry, just realized the lighting is kind of not good. Oh well)

(Also, partial disclaimer, I did accidentally ‘cheat’ on this one. I was going to layer mor…[Read more]

@keilah-h

XD

It’s totally fine. Discussion is good.

But thank you @mineralizedwritings for moving it to the Chat Chat.

@the_lost-journal

 I did copy the pose from the game though…so is that bad?

Of course not. You still drew the drawing yourself, and most the reason people need references is pose much of the time.

Thanks, and please do, anything!

Okay. I noticed in your picture that you made the sketch out of very short lines. This is often called ‘chicken sc…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Lolol. 🤣 I know, it’s cool, isn’t it?

Wow, I was not expecting to get 25 notifs, all but two from this forum, when I logged on this morning. I’m glad everyone’s having fun 🙂

@the_lost-journal

Of course you can use references!!!! I know you already posted your art, but I wanted to let you know this for the future. I’ve heard online many times people saying that “true” artists don’t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

~Which character(s) did you find the most compelling/relatable/believable and why?

Julian, Leon, and Ian. I also liked Albee. For some reason, Ian and Albee seemed really well developed, even though we didn’t get to see them for very long. Otherwise, mostly Julian and Leon, since I know them the best.

~ Were there any character…

@ellette-giselle

No worries! I get it. I just wondered.

@linus-smallprint

(Another thought, the priests think Leon is dead from what I know. I don’t know if they ever learned that the arrow did not hit him. But this person wrote the letter directly to Leon.)

Ohh, good point!

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, it’s kind of overused, but it does make plots interesting.

Sounds good!

By the way, did you see the next chapter of TCOH?

@ellette-giselle

That’s funny! 😆 Yeah, I had no idea this was the last section, but then… once I read it, I was like, okay, that kind of works. But it was definitely a shock.

(For a reader with an actual copy of the book, it wouldn’t be, cause you’d get to see how many pages left. We’re kind of reading blindly on here. XD)

Yeah, that makes sen…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

The END????

I feel like Marius and Prince Dietrich will come back. The way you left it, it does sound like an eyewitness saw their deaths, but… Why would you have cut the scene off so soon? It feels unfinished. If you didn’t intend that, maybe you should make it clearer that they did die.

I don’t know, I guess I’m just used to…[Read more]

Credit to my older brother for suggesting drawing the little veins in the rabbit’s eye XD

@elishavet-pidyon @highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h

Here it is!

@whalekeeper

Wow! That’s cool, I like it! The olive green really brings out the red

@elishavet-pidyon @highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h

I drew the card. If I can, without Ezra seeing it, I’ll try to scan it into the computer and post it before his birthday.

Hopefully he likes it. My family thinks it’s great XD

@grcr @whalekeeper

Everywhere I’ve seen this challenge, black and white don’t count as part of your three colors. I assume the reason is that black, white and grey are neutral colors and this challenge is meant to help understand color theory and how colors interact with each other.

@keilah-h

hmmmmm…now what should I draw…..?

A cat…[Read more]

@rae

I’m going to do this one!
I love yours, the water lilies especially look great!

When you use markers and ink do you ink first or after you put the marker down?

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle @koshka @whalekeeper @theshadow @keilah-h @theducktator

New chapter on the doc. 😉

Also, TCoH reached 50k on Saturday!! 🥳

@ellette-giselle

Oh yeah. Pretty crazy.

Okay, I gotcha. Maybe rewording it would make the sentence more clear?

“I need to take my boots off,” Julian moaned. “But I can’t get up.”

@ellette-giselle

Wow. That was a great speech!

I like the section. Didn’t really see much except for this, which was confusing…

“I can’t get up,” Julian moaned. “I need to take my boots off.”

But yeah, great job overall! Things are really getting interesting!
