Hey Gang!
I love Youtube. It’s such a huge community of creatives. I subscribe to a lot of artists, on Youtube, Twitter and Instagram. One of my favorites is
, who says that if you want to get better at drawing, all you have to do is practice. I took her advice from her paper video, and invested in a sketchbook. I’ve decided that I want to draw one picture a day. I thought I would show you guys a few of my favorite drawings, and the supplies that I use.
I’ve been drawing since I was little, but I wasn’t getting any better. For some reason, I kind of stopped drawing and it really hurt my journey on finding my own art style. I could draw other things, but not things in my own style, because I didn’t have one. So I figured drawing everyday-ish for the year would at least let me know what I don’t like.
I’ve always wanted a set of copic markers, but they are so so expensive, I just couldn’t justify the purchase, for something that I was just getting back into, so I instead bought a set of Ohuhu dual tip art markers, a sized A5 Midori sketchbook and a vinyl orange bag to carry my supplies in. I made the mistake of ordering two really small ones before finding the proper size. So now, I have two smaller guys that I don’t need. Alex thinks I should use it for smaller things, like practicing hands and the like. I feel like it is a good idea, but not good enough for two. Maybe I will give one away. Would you guys be interested in that? Let me know in the comments!
I was having issues drawing full figures, so I figured drawing things people and things without bone structure would be a lot easier, but even that is proving harder than I thought.
My father can draw really really well, and said that I could take lessons from him, so hopefully we’ll be starting those soon. I have realized that although this sketchbook is by far, fancier than anything I’ve ever had, that the markers still bleed through the next page, so I have become acustom to using them on the single sheet and bending the other pages in on themselves. My favorite artists so far are:
