Let me guess...you were trying to draw without your stylus.

My stylus was being lonely in my apartment a few 100 miles from where I was before

I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. Though middle school-college has really hurt my time in drawing. XD XD
Now work is getting more intense since I only have a month left (intern) so I'm usually too tired to draw on the weekdays. But I still try!!! >:3

I can relate to how you feel lol I'm self-employed, but I was still sorting books until 7 PM. Then I was up drawing until midnight!
Oh, right! I was volunteering at a booksale,and I got a free drawing tablet!

Hmrrrrrrrrrh so lucky
What wacom was it? o____o
Ooh self employed is very inspiring. I always thought it's harder managing things yourself.

The bamboo fun, which is actually the model I was going to buy!
But yeah, self-employment is definitely harder, (as I was explaining to a couple of confused socialists the other day) but I feel it's much more rewarding. You take the blunt of every little blip in your direction, but you get all the benefits for yourself, too! Though technically speaking, it isn't just me, as my immediate family is also involved.
I strongly recommend looking into it; you'd be amazed how much freedom you can have, with a little business know-how!

Probably I will when I get out of college and work in a company for 2-3 years. XD

Hey, you can't rush things, after all! It's best to know what you want to do with your business before you begin.
Though. As a side note, you'd be surprised how easy it is to get something started using EBay or Amazon.

Thank you!!!
Do you prefer realism or stylized?
I use to do taboo style tattoos since they were really popular a few years ago and I was a fan of drawing sharp clean pointy things.

Hmmm I suppose it depends on whom or what you're drawing
Personally, I love doing realism pieces in the form of pencil sketches and chalk pastel pieces of animals, aliens, that sort of thing ^^
But when doing digital art, it's very stylized XD
Oh that sounds very cool

Oh wow thank you for this suggestion and answer. That's really interesting that you think of digital leaning towards stylization may be more impressive than realistic rendering. Heheh maybe ctrl z is what makes the realistic rendering less impressive on digital art.

((Not a problem at all
Well I've done a bit of rendering in the past, and as amazing as it looks, a lot of that work is (sometimes)Β done by the computer, whereas artists and sculptors had nothing but raw talent at their disposal. I mean no downplay towards rendering or realistic imagery in the digital medium. It is really cool but I just feel sketches capture more of our human elements ^^
My view towards art is anyone can learn technique. Practice. Studying. Looking up refs, bases, tracings or anything like that.
What defines an artist is their talent and their emotion. It's why I praise various spectrums of art styles and technique levels ^^ I'm not looking at the aesthetic aspect of the art, I'm looking at what I can see of the artist in their work. Their emotion. Their ideas. Themselves.
Sure, fancy images are cool, but that can be taught. Art happens when the artist showcases their soul.
Gah I know I sound quite pretentious and somewhat snooty but that's how I've always felt when I studied art in school XD
My cartoonist style was at first rejected, and even now, many universities where I live don't accept it as a viable medium, but my teachers allowed me to continue with it and graded it as they did the other pieces, because they understood it to be art ^^))

Simply amazing detail. All those tiny little feathers! Are those pencils always kept that perfectly sharp for that? LOL
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha thank you! Also nope, those pencils I've placed there are Verithin, separate from the main color blocking pencils I use. xD
I think it'll take forever if I did colors with such thin pencils though. Hahaha

Haha! there IS something that's like... REALLY satisfying about a freshly sharpened pencil.
I dunno, that detail is pretty minute ;D
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes yes indeed!
Haha a lot of the detail comes from the paper's tooth texture.
