Drawing Theory

Howdy, once again. I wanted to make this post right after making the last, given how this whole ordeal happened whilst drawing that. So, what happened? It's not that big a deal, mainly just some stuff that came over my head while i was drawing. It's all in regard to the process i have, and it escalated from there.

For starters, i don't think it's a secret to those who know me personally that a majority of my drawings typically start out as simple doodles i made on my notebook whilst at school or in my bedroom with nothing else better to do. If a drawing is good enough on my end, i digitalize it and give it some extra flare before posting it on social media. What's the problem with that? Well, it's difficult to explain...

You see, drawing physically is a completely different beast than drawing digitally. I made a write-up way back in January to explain this phenomenon to some friends of mine, which i will be quoting here:

"Physical is better because you get a full view

of everything, and you can measure out the

proportions easily. Digital is worse because you unconsciously hyperfocus on one part of the drawing, leading to a weird perspective or anatomy. The screen and the zoom in features make it easier for you to get lost in one section, which is why i hate digital. I can draw something great in under 5 minutes if it's just me and a blank sheet, but if it's me and a screen on the way, i take upwards of an hour. Lines are naturally more fluid because the surface of the paper has a rough texture

Thus, meaning your hand isn't as shaky as it would be with a screen's smooth surface, which is the whole reason why almost every art program has stabilizers now."

This is all just my personal take on it, as i know a lot of people who would rather draw digitally than physically and are extremely talented doing so, but it's a talent i unfortunately don't seem to have a good grasp on. 

Anyway, that's about it. Thanks for reading my incoherent ramblings!
