    I realised that drawing practise can happen even if you have only 2 minutes of time! Or even 30 seconds - like when you're waiting for your cup to fill up at the coffee machine. Actually 30 seconds-drawings are a great way of practice. But so are 2 or 5 minute drawings. I have always a (little) sketchpad ready (it's better than a sketchbook for you don't feel you've got to produce ART on just a piece of paper) or even just newpaper or a magazine, and a pencil or fineliner/ballpoint, and then I draw draw draw whenever I am waiting for sth. This has improved my drawing a lot.

    "Every sketch shouldn't be a masterpiece. But time spent practicing & developing. Even just 30 min. Waiting at a restaurant, walking in nature, riding public transportation. Still, busy indoor environments with earbuds" Capture those small opportunities
    "The ultimate goal is to have fun & meaningful to you" Remember your why :)

    I quit drawing as a teenager because I'd get extremely frustrated by the "imperfections", and I guess one day I just had enough and stopped drawing almost entirely.
    I'm now 27, I got inspired by PewDiePie's new video and decided to give it a try. I know that I'm not absolutely terrible at it, but it of course doesn't feel good enough. Though, I like to think that ny mind is more mature than what it was about 13 years ago, and I'm now more patient with my shortcomings with drawing.
    I just found your channel and, based on this video, I think I'm going to watch the rest in your series, too.
    Today is day 3 since I started. Hopefully I'll last long enough to lose count :)

    I haven’t drawn since I was in my mid-teens. As a kid, I loved drawing superheroes and WW2 fighter aircraft. I then moved on to Star Wars and BattleStar Galactica aircraft. My drawing skills right now are embarrassing but I want to rekindle my love for it.

    Ive been drawing since i can remember. But i stopped completely once i entered high school. Just didn't find the time or motivation i guess. Then 2 years ago i dropped out of computer science in college and joined for a degree in graphic design and animation. And since last year ive been drawing everyday. Its going pretty well even though at times I wonder if all this work will pay off at some point. I love to draw but i still haven't figured out what kind of job i want to aim for.

    • @RTIFEX
      @RTIFEX  2 года назад +1

      Good character design has lots to do with the world you build around your characters. I watched some of your videos, and noticed you have some cool character drawings with very interesting character traits. Keep that up, and continue to think about each character's story: where they come from, their personalities, what made them who they are, etc. For drawing practice, focus on the basics like construction using simple shapes, figure drawing, and faces (especially facial expressions).
