>>4053068You can post traditional too,
I've been drawing semi-seriously for like... 5 years, but there have been year long breaks not picking up the pen lol.
I'm studying music (singer) right now so drawing is just something I do when I have free time.
As in for advice... I know it's not popular advice, but the STUDYING methods of Riven Phoenix were very helpful to me in the beginning. His art is wonky and his anatomy is flawed, but I like the way he teaches to learn using formulas. (Check out Pencil4Anatomy on instagram, Onezukabin on youtube. They do similar things.)
Just pick better references to analyze using his methods. Also, KJG is right. The box (and basic forms) is important to understand. Pretty much what Peter Han teaches. My linework has always been decent, since I only drew with a ballpoint pen when I was a child (but I literally drew like a child up until I was like ... 17.18, when I started learning art very casually. I'm 24 now) I've never been good at drawing from references since I've always just memorized the forms and constructed.
To me, this course has been very helpful since it's literally my thought process (even the obstacles he said he has faced have/are been the same for me)
Tl;dr things that have helped me the most
- Riven Phoenix's study methods (not his drawing) (also Onezukabin)
- Understanding the basic forms (ModernDayJames, Peter Han, Kim Jung Gi, Krenz)
Things that have helped me the least:
- Gesture drawing and quick sketching (since I don't like drawing fast and loose. I lose "the zone")
