Hi there! great sketches, very inspiring :heart:.

If I may ask, I see your sketches has this very confident lines. Sometimes when I try to sketch based on an image, because I am not so sure where I should put the lines I start either using very thick line, multiple lines, or scribbled lines to draw what suppose to be just 1 single continuous line. I think I am not too bad at drawing lines, it’s just I felt I am not confident enough to say to myself this is where I am going to draw the line, and not second guess myself every 2 seconds :sweat_smile:. Is there anything I could do to improve my line drawing especially in the decision making and confidence part?

Hi there! Thank you for trusting me and decided to ask me about the line works.
I checked your sketch after reading your comment, they are really fasinating works and I think they are beautiful enough.
The difference between our sketches I found could be captured as the way we thinking while doing it.
While your were trying to make things more realisticly in your sketches, which is more like drawing 3D thing in a 2D pannel, it could make good result as well, though it may make your mind stressful because of the caculation part, or the “decision” part you mentioned.
The way I doing sketches is more likely drawing 2D in 2D, or we could simply discribe it as thing like an animator or a cartoonist, all the lines I draw are working for the final shape. The anwser to the confident part is try to change the thinking method and because it’s literally drawing by instinct without thinking.
If you want to try it our study about it, it might be a good way to search for “Sakuga” videos, which is how Japanese animators using simple lines and shapes to capture a gesture or anything else.
I hope these would be help. :light_blue_heart:

Hi there, I’ve been thinking about what you say all night. Could it be that you alleviate the needs to do calculation because you’ve drawn so much (my assumption based on how much I see you fill each canvas), you already know where most of the lines would go?

Do you think I should just draw things as they are first, like drawing what I see, and focus more on the volume of practice, so in the future instead having to do calculations, I just do recalls from memory and draw the 2D lines in the 2D image that I remember drawing before?

edit:
Sorry I didn’t explain much about my question. My analogy is, if the calculations are the ones that actually cause me immense stress, then I should try to limit my reliant on that and instead find other ways to draw well.

@ynr_nohara Practice or effort is important, though the direction we chosed to put on our effort weights more I think. If you feel confused about the awnser maybe it will be helpful to search the book named “Hokusai Manga” , The Hokusai Manga (北斎漫画; “Hokusai’s Sketches”) is a collection of sketches of various subjects by the Japanese artist Hokusai. Subjects of the sketches include landscapes, flora and fauna, everyday life and the supernatural. Several parts of the book he will show the way about the 2D way I mentioned before, conclude things in a simple shape and draw them instead of copy what we saw like a camera.

And if you find this way of sketching is charming but still hard to get it, practice to imitate those sketches would be helpful I suppose. :light_blue_heart:

Ah I see thank you very much for the replies :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:. You mean to literally use 2D shapes to build the drawing. Instead of imagining 3D shapes like a ball and draw 2D lines to represent it, you use circle immediately.

I will definitely check the sources you mentioned. I hope I don’t bother too much, thank you again :folded_hands:.
