@klanceogies Yes!!! I draw from life all the time. I really recommend it but it's not the end all be all to improving art.

Drawing from life as opposed to a photograph is hard because you are turning a 3d object into a 2d object.

To improve your proportions I recommend having the whole composition loosely mapped before you ever start worrying about the details.

Blocking in shapes

I start by trying to group objects together into a couple of big shapes. The middle pole is going to act as my "anchor" in this piece, everything I put down will be in relation to this object. Is it bigger? Smaller? is it parallel to the object? So when I draw the shape on the left I make sure that it is smaller than the pole.

If you are struggling to figure out what the main shapes are, cross your eyes slightly and see what sticks out! This also stops you from getting too detailed to quickly, I swear nothing kills a life study quicker than drawing blades of grass before marking out the field.

You can see how each version gets slightly more complicated. I'm marking where buildings start and end, adding the light bulb, adding grass. On my final pass I let myself start to carve out negative shapes and add details to the buildings!

Life drawing honestly isn't the end all be all, practice it when you want but if you are struggling, level up some of your other skills with subjects you like and return back to it when you are ready!

Here's a still life I did 5 years ago (when I was in the middle of a BFA program and had been drawing for 7 years!) compared to now. So much improvement happened the more I drew EVERYTHING not just still lifes!

TLDR: Try to stick to simple shapes, slowly build up complexity, and if you are struggling blur your eyes!

#I hope this is easy to understand and is helpful!!!!#I freaking love making tutorials #art tutorial #art tips #sketchbooks #so fun to see the improvement too :)#The first drawing was so frusterating and hard and BLUGH #but working from life now is so fun and relaxing to me

Im so confused by some of the Taz Graphic novel changes... I'm trying to keep an open heart but like, why is Barry asking Taako to make the best day for Lup? And Lups character design is so underwhelming....

#Im sorry im being a hater!!!#i want it to be really #good #but #suffering game was such a bad adaptation #with so many random changes #i think they got really confident after the 11th hour #which was a fantastic adaption #and then just started changing random stuff #like... why didnt magnus make is sacrific #i still cant thiink about it or i get too mad #SORRY IM DONE NOW!#I wont put this in the main tag #and ill probably delete it...#unless if one person agrees with me LOL
