Dement

Dude uncut gems is deadass one of my favourite movies of the decade, it's spontaneously so far from the type of people I'd talk to but at the same time so immersive, it's an absolute rollercoaster.

Too bad majority of gen z watches movies on the background or with 3 friends who don't care.

I realised I was wrong in not calling myself an artist only because I put no meaning into sketching.
I got lost in the armsrace of fidelity, blind to its futility.
I wasn't partaking as a hobby nor profession, a painful self enforced limbo.
I record myself in many methods, why not in sketch also?

I notice I broke my untold promise to get up to date by offloading old works. I've not broken my promise of sincerity however; Not to imply I've desensitized in such time, I've noticed its better spent elsewhere. I haven't sketched in months. I've never been more productive in writing though.

british men saying 'dude' should/could be considered cultural appropriation. I just cannot imagine it

Despite 'Procreate+IPad' or 'Photoshop+Wacom' being called the go-to's of digital sketches;
I never could grow past Sketchbook. Since I see art as a hobby rather than a career, those pro apps just feel like hassle.
But by extent, ironically, all details in sketch have to be manual and hand drawn...

Oh so you DID absolutely rawdog em..
tbh even more rep for doing amateur pieces on PS+Wacom, that shit is TIRING, I would still be slaving away on paper notebooks if not for an ipad with sketchbook/procreate

What the sketch under one of my drawings looks like 😅

What program do you use for these, on PC or tablet?
Assuming you didn't rawdog these for consecutive days, how long overall did it take from the day you started em to the day you finished?

Although things are much easier to sketch on pencil and paper, be it making new stuff, doodling patterns, working on line detail, blurry shadows, etc.
Nothing quite beats the satisfaction of giving it an explosion of colours you could never find the paint nor brushes for in reality.

posing yourself?
that's so beast

HAMMERHEAD SPOTTED

RRRRRRAAAAAGH

Due to regional news, I refrain from sharing such sketches in IRL-linked accs, I wish not be tone deaf and insensitive, regardless of how far these sketches date back to.

But this account is unlinked, indifferent and exclusively online;
I want to use this place for uncorrupted escapism.

Still W.I.P, I still believe one day I will shade everything to match the quality of the collar... one day!

Always lost in your sketches, keep looping back tryna find what starts and what ends, learning what's what in the process, your detailing is top notch! Even I couldn't hit this much with uncoloured lines, and I brag about my all-hand-made work!
Do you do any tracing to get perspective this accurate?
