Oh ballpoint pen? Thats actually a great thing to exercise. One of the core things my art teachers always taught me is to ditch the eraser. People who are new to art keep erasing every little mistake they make, things like drawing with pen make you commit to every stroke and embrace the imperfection

oh the hand exercise!! I used to do that a lot in art school. I loved drawing with charcoal but everything it touched got so dusty and dirty that it was really hard for me to store my art anyway without spraying it with spray varnish

You ever tried drawing with charcoal? If you like that rough sketchy texture charcoal could be fun to experiment with, you can shade with your fingers and even get white charcoal for those really bright highlights

there's some tricky perspective there, I love the sketch texture of the pencil!

What- What do you mean, did you not watch disney channel lol? This show

It was so sick it taught kids to make all kinds of arts and crafts, I learned how to paper mache because of this show lol

reminds me of art attack

You’re all going to “It’s not that deep” yourselves into lower and lower levels of intelligence.

I have no interest in engaging with people so passive and unpassionate in their own lives

Oh where are you going?

It’s giving this

I ask that because it’s important to remember that every kind of paint has its own techniques!! Using watercolor techniques for acrylic paintings won’t make it turn out good! If you try and learn a bit about some basic techniques for the paint you’re using you’ll start to get more comfy with it

What kind of paint are you using? In traditional art everyone has “their medium” that works for them. For me it’s watercolors. If you’re using acrylics then yeah they dry very fast because they’re plastic based lol. Meanwhile oil takes days to dry. Gouache is the standard that most schools use

Np, idk what drawing program you use but for me when I draw on Photoshop I find that doing a multiply shadow layer on top of the drawing and then erasing it little by little to mark where the lighting will be makes the end result more natural looking and not like everything is way too bright:

The lighting looks really cool, can I give a suggestion? I think for outdoor scenes like that that involve a lot of shade it might make the lighting more dynamic to work from dark to light. Put on a layer of shade on the entire drawing and light it up little by little, that way it's not too bright

TLDR: Party rockers in the house tonight

“It’s party rock is”

There’s only so much reading the words “appendage” and “member” over and over can do for your english level lol
