#KeysToDrawing - The Conclusion
I dont have any reference for comparison but if i have to rate this book i rate it as VERY GOOD. It doesnt have any rigid anti-fun exercises, it keeps you drawing while explaining the theory. Its like your grandpa is trying to show you how to draw.
#KeysToDrawing - Photographs and Television
This chapter shows how the book is a little dated. Oh dodson if you knew about 3D models and AI generating pictures, would you welcome it or call it crutch?
#KeysToDrawing - Integrating Personal Experience
So in order to create the bestest art pieces ever you need deep mental trauma or better. Hmmm. Well it makes sense, almost none of the famous artist had calm lives.
#KeysToDrawing - Working in Sequence
Dodson is based: using even his own child doodles as inspiration. The message is clear: "reference" every concept, idea, art, meme, whatever it takes to make your own drawings. Copyright and morals be damned!
#KeysToDrawing - Making the Familiar Strange
So basically dodson said that good art is mixing high precision depiction of reality with mysterious motives where its up to viewer to decide what are they looking at and finding that balance of the two is the challenge. Okay
#KeysToDrawing - Drawing and Imagination
This chapter will be wild ride. Also dodson confirmed to like his THICC female forms.
#KeysToDrawing - Active and Passive Shapes
There are a lot of subtle ways how to pimp up pictures and honestly if i didnt know what to look for i would never notice. Oh well, off we go into last segment of the book.
#KeysToDrawing - Project 7F: BALANCING EXTREME COMPOSITIONS
A lot of digital artists should read this whole chapter. They draw bodies floating in nothing 24/7 instead of thinking of the whole picture. And i feel like i am stagnating hard. Today wasnt productive day at all.
#KeysToDrawing - Framing and Cropping
Its funny that cropping in trad is big decision involving scissors and cannot be undone while in digital its no big deal. Same with framing, just move canvas bro.
#KeysToDrawing - Project 7BC: 3FACES + REVERSE PATTERN
This one was weird and i am totally not sure what was the grand idea behind 7C. Also i dont think dodson would allow "white" pencil on black paper. I tried first to start with negative shapes but i couldnt do it. Not enoughIQ
#KeysToDrawing - Project 7A: 3 SIMPLIFIED LANDSCAPES
Art but with a sprinkle of theory. What will happen next?
#KeysToDrawing - Project 6E: REFLECTIVE SURFACE
This one was surprisingly fun. I expected heavy slow slog when i first looked at these pics but nope. It was fun.
#KeysToDrawing - Project 6B: UNIFYING TEXTURE
Ohm yeah. This chapter about textures is something else compared to the rest of the book.
#KeysToDrawing - The Illusion of Texture
This is very new and time consuming for me. But also kinda relaxing. I feel like getting new set of brushes for this chapter but we will see.
#KeysToDrawing - Project 5F: ELLIPSES
Ellipses are just circles in perspective. Deep. And drawing through really helps to feel the form.
No ellipses were harmed or violated during this project.
#KeysToDrawing - Project 5A: INTENSIFYING DEPTH
I hate shoes. Ugh. More accurately shoelaces. Horrendous things. We should abandon shoelaces and use only zips or Hook-and-loop fastener.
#KeysToDrawing - Light, Shadow and Design
I learned how to make my own brushes. It finally allowed me to get closer to the texture of the reference. Its not really complex but to make brush look good is its own skill to train.
It is still more of blurry than sharp but i take it.
#KeysToDrawing - Project 4F: MERGING SHADOWS
I like the chicken scratch style with no dynamics. Just you and 1 pixel wide black line. No other bullshit. Too bad the creations look really awful.
#KeysToDrawing - The Value Pattern
Really dodson? Some colors are more bright than others? And then they look differently in shadow? Wow.
Today i am not happy with the results at all and i dont feel i learned anything. Oh well, not every day you can have breakthrough.
