So far i've been drawing with the ideology of keep drawing and you'll get better. So I just draw. I don't even know if it's really practice. I just draw people and random things.
I have no live models available so i've been using referenced the whole time. Although i try to think of the model as if i'm seeing them live. So if i see a a fold, i try to see the contour more than the lines appearing from them.
I haven't really gone as far as to learn to memory the muscle groups and bone structure in the human body.
I never draw what i want to either. Back when i had no real knowledge i could attempt it cause i knew so little and had seen so little. But now i see my mistakes as i make them and it upsets me. I think my knowledge may have slightly outgrown my ability if that's possible.
I've thought about using a reference but how much should i them on an original piece, and how much time would be good as well. I feel lost on this matter.
This is important because sometimes i feel like im grinding in the forest alone of some mmorpg; you know its got to be done, and its a drag but you keep doing it hoping to reap the rewards.
Seeing beautiful work makes me energised, and so does seeing bums on the street, but sometimes it's not enough. I need the fire in my belly.
Thanks for any advice given. And if you read that all then thank you again.
