Hey Core,
I’m becoming super frustrated with my sketching, particularly with my rendering and would love to hear about every one else’s struggles as well. No one likes to drink alone.
Anyways, questions as follows.
About how long did it take you to really dial sketching down?
I personally think you never really dial in sketching. I always feel the need to improve.
Do you feel like you have to learn to draw each object or can you just draw any object at any time?
Personally I get used to drawing a specific object more quickly if I draw it all the time, however with basic foundation sketching I can draw any object with confidence.
Rendering, How long did it take you to learn? Marker? Digital? Analog sketching I have been practicing my whole life. I lean more towards digital these days being that it eliminates scanning, smearing, etc. I have really started feeling comfortable with the Cintiq over the last 6-12 months of daily use.
Does anyone else get freaking frustrated on insta by looking at those super amazing digital renderings some godlike automotive designers are producing these days? Seriously. There are amazing artist but with practice those amazing sketches will get more attainable for you.
Rate the importance each, Digital and Manual Sketching. Which do you find more difficult? Analog sketching will always be king. Digital is complimentary tool to enhance your skill set.
I have more, but lets start with this. Cheers to anyone who responds and I’m sorry if this is already a thread.
