yoo I love your art. Such an inspiration mate. Many props. Any advice ya can give my sorry ass for drawing robots?
Ahh you’re so kind! Inspiration is a big word, I’m honored you’ve decided to give it to me lmaoBasically, outside of the general “practice straight lines!” and stuff, I’ve got like two things I use a LOT are 1. Do not be afraid to use the eraser!! and 2. Use TONS of layers!!
For 1. as you can see here I draw a lot of lines that all overlap one another, and then erase each of the overlaps to get this even-sized smooth line all the way through. It helps prevent little transparent corners! Its also relaxing for a break from linework.
2. LAYERS! I use upwards of 30 layers in a single piece. I eventually condense them down into one or two final layers, or keep them in one or two folders. But, while I’m working, being able to ‘overdraw’ on a new layer helps SO much with getting that perfect line
As you can see here ^ I hella overshot that line into Sunny’s face, but because of how it was on a different layer, I could just erase the excess without damaging all my previous work.
As far as coloring and whatnot, that may have to be on a separate ask because tbh Im still working on my techniques and they’re.. not rlly that good lmaooo Thank you for asking!
