Do not underestimate the power of the chalkboard, anons. It’s like an infinite piece of paper.

I mean this seriously when I say the chalkboard has completely transformed my art. I started doing it once I saw will Weston’s anatomy studies and demonstrations mostly in chalk, and how he said “it’s about the amount of bodies you draw”, not the quality of each one. I now see why: the chalk board is the perfect anti perfectionism tool. Nothing you draw on it matters, causing you to become less attached to the result and more to the process. You can use it to warm up, take notes while you draw, or just plan. The various colors can be helpful for differentiating body parts during anatomy studies, learning color combinations, simple and complex rendering techniques, any general experimenting. The chalkboard is probably one of the most important tools for trad artists especially and im sure digital artists could find a place for it as well

drawing on chalkboard is fun. easy to shade and really tactile and i like that sort of thing. if you owned one it would probably get really messy though, and if its small enough to hold like that youll probably inhale a lot of chalk

Yup, something about trannies gatekeeping a group buy, so glad to make everyone seethe until a mf came around, bought the course and gave it away. Trannies were seething so hard after that.

Ah, good ol' time.

> noisily slurping some tisane

Of course, nobody ever really studied anything from Will Wetson, but everyone wanted the course because it was unavailable.

>There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.
>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.
>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.

Previous Thread: >>7196009

This is a thread for those who want to go study dynamic sketching as a group in an effort to improve their drawing skills starting from the very fundamentals. Here we share the tedious grind, crit and encourage each other.
Please specify the week and course you're on when posting your work.

>What is Dynamic Sketching?
The Dynamic Sketching is an approach to sketching that focuses on:
>Closely observing life to inspire sketches.
>Breaking down complex objects into simple forms.
>Building confidence using permanent mediums like pen and toned paper.
>The importance of conveying ideas visually.
This method helps artists create expressive and energetic sketches.

First developed by Norman Schureman, an influential teacher at ArtCenter. Many of his students, including Peter Han and Charles Hu, continued his teachings at various schools.

part 1 of drawing all plants at home.
first plant is the one that defeated me previously here >>7295854
the tip of the other anon was incredibly helpful in general, observing the plant more thoroughly and doing multiple sketches of details before starting.
started using copic markers (sketching greys) , they are a lot easier to cover big areas than the staedtler fineliners.

part 3
will probably not make it in time before the leaves start falling. Not that it matters, I like drawing plants that are more beat up like I did today.
The texturing on the big on on the 2 leaves closest by made it look worse. Probably should've taken a thinner one than the 0.3 mm used for all the rest, or textured it less (only on the part of the leaf closest by.

>>7305259
thanks. I guess in the charles hu version plants occur way later too.

I actually think prokos method is a great way to master anatomy but he failed in making it into a course rather than encouraging experimentation. You need to come up with your own construction and do lots of figure drawing where you draw the bones underneath a subject.

General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:
1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.
