I used to warm up with these every day. Haven’t had the time to lately, but I never really struggled with them as it doesn’t much matter how they turn out, just that you try to engage your brain with the exercises. Do people struggle with these?

ok?
>do people struggle with these
I do, tho I im on an IPad so I dont know if these are meant for digital, either way theyre hard for me
>>7746292
n-no you!
>>
>>7746299
Yeah, he said the lines should be repeatable, not perfect. If you draw a wobbly or poorly drawn line, just attempt another one. Done.

>I do

Are you using your entire arm? Are you drawing on a small surface like an iPad mini? If you’re just starting these warmups, I can understand why they’d be a struggle but just give it some time and drawing parallel lines will be like second nature
>>
>>7746306
I have the 13 inch one, i dont think theres a bigger version
>Are you using your entire arm?
obviously, also I should add drawing parallel lines specifically is the one Im struggling with the most, I guess I could rotate the canvas but that feels like cheating, might aswell use a stabilizator by that point
>>
>>7746309
>*horizontal lines
Im dumb
>>
>>7746309
Rotating the page isn’t cheating at all, it’s to accustom yourself to drawing parallel lines at different angles and orientations and to teach you that moving the page around is a tool
>>
>>7746312
well then like I said is using stabilization also fair game? at what point do you stop accumulating new crutches
>>
>>7746316
>muh crutches
professional artist rotate their sketchbook or whatever they use constantly I don't know why you're so allergic to it
>>
>>7746316
Imagine you're drawing with a pencil on a piece of paper, do you keep the paper perfectly static in a single position on your desk? Or do you rotate it around and move it as necessary to make the mark you intend?

I too struggle with this, though it mostly because everything about digital is awkward compared to traditional materials.
>>
>>7746299
>All of that undoing
Anon, I guarantee you you'll get far more from your drafting exercises if you just do twenty with mistakes in a row instead of spending a minute trying to get one just right.
>>
>>7746373
The undoing is a big crutch in digital. Honestly OP, you should consider just doing these exercises on a sheet of paper instead of your tablet. They’re just warmups anyways

You should try doing the practise on paper and see how it compares. Drawing with your arm instead of your wrist is one thing but trying out different pencil holding positions plays into it as well, picrel. You just need a properly sharpened pencil and a big enough piece of paper.

>>7746269
Mfw I unironically did this to pass time when I was in school
Without even knowing the exercises
>>
>>7746421
Honing your skills passively before picking up the great pencil of ambition, only to find that you've already mastered the art of precision.
Did it help you advance quickly? Are you at /int/ level or higher?
>>
>>7746458
It only helped me get my lines relatively straight
But I didn't practice drawing seriously or regularly so I'm still a beg
Busy with studies and shit
>>
>>7746269
this is impossible on a tablet.
>>
>>7746316
>is using stabilization also fair game?
yeah, digital inputs literally arent the same as traditional ones, not only does the canvas not deform to accomodate the drawing implement but there's an inherent distance between the glass of the screen and where the line is drawn that simply isnt bridged
