-So I'm curently learning to use Krita and mixing it to trad. As you can see it's not great but hey there's a first to everything => thus what I'm asking for feedsback. I am very bad at computer so Krita is very new to digital art.So with Bluebiscuit and Biekkia (I want to avoid using to much ressources), my objective was to learn to draw people, by tracing model with basic volume (way before Learning anatomy) => Plus it's those exercices promoted by Bluebiscuit (big inspiration btw).I also want to Apply it to animals. But I Don't know whether or not it's a correct method (mostly avoiding to just tracing thus not learning)NB : red on the "not traced" is the basic muscles from Bitekkia -I have a second problem : How do you manage study and just fun :Like Learning krita, boxes, perspective, color theory, anatomy, avoiding same face syndome, how to do a comic, composition, … and I know that it's suposed to learn bit by bit but in the end I stil can't draw what I want to do (ie no studies), maybe blank page syndromeCould you give me a hand on this, plz ?
I think your non traced version looks way better. You'll learn more without tracing. Id recommend making a nice size krita document and then zoom in so your work area is just a small corner of the full page. Then find whatever gesture reference (youtube has endless animal documentaries). Do a 5-10 min study and then pan over to a clean spot and do another drawing. You can fit like 25 drawings. Then make a new layer and hide the previous one and do it again! Experiment with different brushes. Maybe do a whole page with one brush and then the next with another. Play around and tinker. See how different brushes affect your drawings. Then later on you can go back and look over these big pages of work to track your progress
>>7860940Anon would you kindly share the original ref pic you used there? I can't find the sauce online.
>>7860940Your not traced has more sol
>>7860940I would say the one thing that stands out to me about the Not Traced version is the arms look a bit stuck out on a plane rather than set back and slightly bent.To answer the question about balancing fun and study, you can just put it on the same canvas/image but on a different layer. Like box studies and then a spaceship over it or whatever. With digital I found out I can basically treat layers as scrap paper to get out the funkiness of the start of drawing that day and then delete it afterwards.
