Are you a good artist?

Well… I’m sort of like medium tier atm. I’ve had pieces that I’ve shown to others that people would say “oh hey that’s good!” but nothing that’s excellent. It’s something I’ve been wanting to practice more as I transition from traditional style art (like scratchboard and paint) to digital (like animation). I think it’s something I have the potential to be good in with enough practice, but I haven’t put in enough hours yet.

I’ve been working extra hard lately at drawing from without relying on too much of a reference in an anime style. Basically, I want to be able to create videos for my music one day, but I want them to look professional, and that takes long as hell.

That’s real cool. Keep at it!

Well I don't know what you consider "artist" but I recently started carving and I think it is very rewarding to see the progress you made from conception to the block of wood. So you have to tell me if I'm any good

[bigpauly]

Looks cool. Carving seems like a tough medium to perfect

[Blackcupcake]

I was told I am good at drawing certain things… lol but not too sure about my overall drawing skills hahaha

[bigpauly]

I really want to get good at drawing but its so damn hard to decide where to start. I just get overwhelmed and quit.

[bigpauly]

Maybe look up some beginner books or online courses?

[UniquelyBasic]

I've tried youtube videos but eventually I just quit which I hate.

I started with a book called “ drawing with the right side of the brain”. It’s a really quick read and took me from 0 to decent in like a week or two. I think there are free versions of the book online I used.

It gives you lessons and describes how to think about drawing from different perspectives which helps a lot.

Maybe this will be easier to stick with since it is such a quick read and can inspire you to go on from there once you see the progress

[UniquelyBasic]

Ill check it out then. Thanks

I had these godly drawing skills when I was like 15 but I don't know if I can do it anymore lol
