LrodDraws | Learning to Draw

Learning to draw at 35. One video every day. Following Peter Han, Draw Like a Sir and Proko. Day 1 is pinned.

Day 1 of learning to draw at 35.

I always told myself I wasn't artistic. Today I finally started with Peter Han's lines and arcs, and a straight line is way harder than it looks.

Any tips for a total beginner?

@treasurwd That’s so impressive! Incredible work

@matiasbergara The loose black ink behind the clean red armor is such a cool contrast. I'm a week into learning to draw and stuff like this is why

@mmcoconut @ZEET_studio Love that you showed the process too. How long do you usually spend on the life drawing before you start adding color?

@monohydroxttto Thank you! Working on keeping my parallel lines even, it's harder than it looks

Day 2 of learning to draw

Did my Peter Han line homework with a burned hand, so the lines were rough. A comment said to learn perspective, so I tried Proko's one-point perspective lesson. The finished page kinda reminds me of the tesseract scene from Interstellar.

@Lesstheteapot Yes, more Mirage. The beard and the hair on the right one have so much energy for a sketch

@dennibig_ Day 313 is crazy, I'm only a week into drawing every day. Did it start feeling easier at some point?

@Deoxy_Diamond Seeing the sketch next to the finished one helps so much. How much do you change between the two?

@alexmcc_97 The hair on this is so clean. Do you sketch it this light the whole time or darken it at the end?

@north_easy dope af

@Glowx_21 The pattern on Yuji's scarf and the hatching on Choso's coat are so clean. Did you ink this digitally?

[LrodDraws | Learning to Draw @LrodDraws]

@iirreui Doing that much shading in a tiny lined notebook is crazy. What pencil are you using?

[LrodDraws | Learning to Draw @LrodDraws]

@Tihiimornings The suit guy's pose is so good. How long do these take you? My "quick sketches" take forever too

Day 3 of learning to draw
Did a Draw like a Sir lesson on 3D shapes, then my first drawing from life: the lamp in my living room. Still a beginner, so the proportions were the hardest part, but honestly it came out better than I expected. What should I draw next?

@lucybangternal_ The stitches across his face look so good in clean lineart. How long does the lineart stage usually take you?

[LrodDraws | Learning to Draw @LrodDraws]

@oliveiradraw Love her sitting on the mimic. Do you sketch the whole body first or go straight to lineart?

[LrodDraws | Learning to Draw @LrodDraws]

@Thunder__Steak Love seeing it next to the manga panel. Is that markers on sketchbook paper? The hair came out so clean

[LrodDraws | Learning to Draw @LrodDraws]

@scargumi Haha I look forward to the day where i can doodle this well! Great work

[LrodDraws | Learning to Draw @LrodDraws]

@cayemm_ Totally crushed it

[LrodDraws | Learning to Draw @LrodDraws]

@scargumi Thank you so much! Pretty early on, but im so excited to get better!
