Okay, maybe that's a bit much, but some days I really do think I suck at drawing. I simply don't practice often enough to get my skills up to where I can execute all the stuff in my head. At least not my traditional drawing skills.
Anyways, I've decided that I'm going to start practicing drawing more and since my fat butt is usually sitting at a computer, I'll draw digitally. And because I realize I have issues with my dark/light contrast values, I'm going to work in monochromes. I'll pick a color for the background, a color to draw in, and that's it. Those are the two colors I have to work with and no more. I can play with flow and opacity, of course, but beyond that I'm not going to gt fancy. I haven't completely decided about using brushes - should I limit myself to one brush size period, allow different brush sizes but it's all the same brush type, or change brush types as well.
For now, here's my first attempt at a person drawn using a size 13 hard brush, black and very pale grey as my colors, and both opacity/flow set to 50%. I still haven't decided if I was going for a male or female yet, which just adds to my suckiness.
( See the pic... )
Oh yeah, an update. In under a year.
Hrm, forgot to mention, in addition to my issues with contrast, I can't draw noses but at least the hair isn't completely horrible.
