>>828713 you're incredibly good, anon do you actually work in art? how did you learn?
also i assume you use references right? if so how do you go about it? do you get just one or a lot, and do you try to copy stuff from them or just glance for specific spots? i'd really like to know the process
>>828824 I'm occasionally asked to make posters to promote live shows, but it's not my main job. I started out drawing pictures using analogue methods, and then learned realistic techniques using plaster cast drawings. When drawing pictures like the one above, I use photographs as reference material. They are particularly useful for recreating lighting and space. The final adjustments are largely based on the light, shadow, and depth haze I learn from actually seeing natural landscapes with my own eyes.
>>828870 i see, thanks did you start doing cast drawings as part of some class or book to get better or did you just try to copy them yourself and figured it out? i assume it was because you weren't getting the results you wanted just from drawing, right?
>>828893 Rather than being taught any particular techniques, I simply experienced the standard of drawing. However, what I learned about expressing shading, lighting, shadows, and reflected light to make a picture appear three-dimensional using just a pencil is something that can be applied to colored paintings and digital art as well.
