I tried a few different methods of trying to get this hair texture down, it was very challenging and time consuming. Most of the "realistic" hair tutorials I find are in traditional media, so I have to try and translate those lessons to digital. It's definitely something I need to practice more but it was a ton of fun to try, I kinda love interesting hair styles. I will find a way! I lost the reference I used though. - - - - #practice #art #artofinstagram #digitalsketch #drawingpeople #drawingfromreference #digitaldrawing #drawing #drawingpractice #digitalart #hair #hairsketch #clipstudiopaint #digitalartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CikzJp7rW2w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Halloween decorations are out at work and my body is ready! The focus this week was simplification. I used reference pictures and tried to break them down hoping to find a balance of detail and simplicity that I like. In the left picture I added the witch hat, I think it looks cool but it's a little floaty. In the right picture I changed the hairstyle. In the bottom picture I used a reference to find the placement of the facial features and then got rid of the reference and drew the actual features from memory. It took a little work but I think it came out ok. - - - - References: https://images.app.goo.gl/fv3cirxvpBoo37ee8 https://images.app.goo.gl/TD6drqRJtU1T5VSp9 - - - - #practice #art #artofinstagram #sketch #digitalsketch #drawingpeople #drawingfromreference #digitaldrawing #drawing #drawingpractice #digitalart #facesketch #witch #witchhat https://www.instagram.com/p/CiBGKXyOULo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I forgot to upload yesterday but I was finished on time I promise! I was short on time so I only did a head, but I did challenge myself with an expression. I think it turned out pretty good! It's fascinating how the face moves around. - - - - Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/QyEqZXMvoLhLhqzQ9 - - - - #practice #portrait #art #artofinstagram #drawingpractice #drawing #drawingpeople #drawingfromreference #digitalart #clipstudiopaint https://www.instagram.com/p/ChxXs9irKgn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tried a little more robust hatching this time. I like it but line confidence needs work I think. I also wanted a warmer background, the cold grey I usually use is starting to look too bland to me. Is it an improvement? - - - - Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/Z7WTdPsmJRnsp6wd9 - - - - #drawing #drawingpractice #digitalsketch #drawingpeople #drawingfromreference #digitaldrawing #digitalart #art #artofinstagram #practice #portrait #clipstudiopaint https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg5EoqFuW8G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Friday everyone! This week I worked on simplifying features and I like how it turned out! Its always nice to see a step in the right direction. - - - - Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/tiodenBHKEpoiuBMA - - - - #art #practice #artofinstagram #digitalart #drawingpractice #drawing #digitaldrawing #drawingfromreference #clipstudiopaint https://www.instagram.com/p/CgmrDPOLNR1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's been a busy few weeks but I'm back now. This was a tough angle to draw but informative as always. I'm starting to really enjoy the more realistic practice! It's interesting to problem solve and figure out how to portray what I see. - - - - Reference: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/549509592042618556 - - - - #portrait #practice #art #digitalart #drawing #digitaldrawing #drawingfromreference #drawingpeople #drawingpractice #clipstudiopaint #artofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCoKcmLYob/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another drawing that gave me trouble, I dont think I got this one quite right, but it's nice to see improvement either way! - - - - Reference: Warning Nudity https://pin.it/4X38PjS - - - - #practice #drawing #digitaldrawing #art #digitalart #drawingfromreference #drawingpeople #drawingpractice #clipstudiopaint #artofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CfMjCkgrLBP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A collection of sketches from the past 2 weeks. Sometimes you gotta go for quantity over quality. Mostly this is me trying to simplify and find some consistency or just making sure I draw every day. - - - - #practice #sketch #artofinstagram #art #digitalsketch #drawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #facesketch #drawingpeople #drawingfromreference https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce6eoFLrGcp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I like how this turned out. I didn't really want to do a realistic drawing this week but I felt it was important to help me get the rust out. The hair required a new technique. I hope it turned out okay! I lost the reference link for this one. - - - - #portrait #practice #drawingpeople #drawingfromreference #digitaldrawing #drawing #drawingpractice #art #artofinstagram #digitalart #facesketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CeWg2yNrFdF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Getting more comfortable with hatching I might try airbrushing next or some combination of the two. It works well with the hair by helping to build contrast. - - - - Warning Nudity Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/b4mbD1pxsSBmkZVK9 - - - - #art #practice #portrait #digitalsketch #digitaldrawing #drawing #digitalart #sketch #artofinstagram #drawingpractice #drawingpeople #drawingfromreference https://www.instagram.com/p/CdOZ0XuLmLr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2 iterations of the same subject. My focus was on simplifying my style and trying to find porportions that work for me. It's cool to see how different approaches can yeild very different results. - - - - Reference: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/550565123203745051 - - - - #practice #art #artofinstagram #digitalsketch #sketch #digitaldrawing #digitalart #drawing #clipstudiopaint https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqXaNaLKl4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes I catch myself making the mistake of expecting more from myself then I should. I'm proud of my improvement but then I start trying to one up myself or I start to feel like if I can't maintain that same level of quality it must have been an accidental success, and I haven't actaully improved at all. I forget that the point is to learn, not to hit an imaginary target every single time. I spent all week feeling like this was gonna be another disappointing piece only to get to the end and find out I like it a lot. Sometimes it's hard to tell until you finish and take a step back. - - - - Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/ebopvf8gGAk7DzFC9 - - - - #sketch #practice #portrait #art #artofinstagram #drawing #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #facesketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYS6vCrcNA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Still chugging along working on various fundamentals, trying to find proportions that work for me. It's a process. - - - - Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/AFS1nZf55zvHsT4f9 - - - - #practice #art #digitalart #drawing #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #sketch #clipstudiopaint #facesketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CcGPuO4r0_G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I wanted to do more with this one but I ended up having a busy week so I was only able to finish the face. I'm starting to have a hard time finding good reference pictures of what I want, might be time to buy a book of reference photos or find a website, any suggestions? - - - - Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/E2hRypHv2KFFqb3o9 - - - - #practice #portrait #art #digitaldrawing #drawing #digitalart #facesketch #sketch #digitalsketch #clipstudiopaint https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbiex03O3y0/?utm_medium=tumblr

The cool thing about practicing the fundamentals and all the work I've been doing drawing from reality is I no longer have that feeling of being lost. Now, even if I don't like my work, I can clearly see the path to improvement. - - - - Reference: https://mariamfinlayson.blogspot.com/2018/08/30-trends-ideas-portrait-photography.html?m=1 - - - - #portrait #practice #lineart #digitaldrawing #digitalart #drawing #art #clipstudiopaint https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQkVjLuv24/?utm_medium=tumblr

I forgot to upload yesterday. Whoopsies! I tried a brush with pencil texture this time, not sure it made much of a difference. I need to work on my hatching technique, it could be more uniform. - - - - Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/aS6jXnkYR87hcRE26 - - - - #practice #portrait #art #digitalart #digitalsketch #digitaldrawing #drawing #clipstudiopaint #facesketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CbA6ZhyOppn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Did a fairly quick sketch this week. Mostly focusing on muscle groups in the chest, shoulders, and arms. Still playing a lot of Horizon Forbidden West. - - - - Reference: https://images.app.goo.gl/fvLAfGjbknjx6XeB9 - - - - #sketch #practice #art #digitalsketch #digitaldrawing #drawing #digitalart #clipstudiopaint https://www.instagram.com/p/Cask7GSlIIp/?utm_medium=tumblr
