    Ok, so we need a sketch thread here.

    I try to draw\sketch as much as I can, but not every day.

    I do it so that I might improve my Wacom skills, aswell as traditional drawing skills.

    So like we pick a theme each day\week and make shitloads of sketches?

    I kick off with a random sketch that I made today, my caps:

    well, hashing is a perfectly good way to build tonality, but scribbling is not. it's really incredibly difficult to hash with a wacom.

    in general i'd say it's more difficult to draw something from scratch using a wacom, to the point that it's usually really obvious. if you want to build drawing skills i'd stick with paper and pencil, and save the wacom for what it's better suited for---shading and retouching.

    Here's a sketch of a cap I made a while ago, it was one of my first drawings I ever really tried to "do" with shading and stuff.

    I thought it was good for a first try.

    Sure is . I do think that it's too bad there's no shading on the cap itself, and that the upper outline of the cap is too strong

    Often, using less lines for the basic shape gives a much better result

    Haha. As for a black\white drawing I do it like that, but with colors, I always try to build the drawings by shades and lighting.But I hate B\Ws with only shadow really

    Why isn't the sun smiling?

    Gins: Very strong work, except the head and neck. Those just looks, just a little too weird.
