Well, that's day 20 of 40 days of sketching. Quite odd, on one hand it's not a lot of days but in another way while looking through them. A lot has happend. in terms of progress.
Either way, I am looking forward for the next 20 days to sketch on location. Quite different compared to sketching from google streetview. The only downside? possible bad weather & roughly 20~24 hours of traveling needed from closing the front door behind me, all the way to my first place to stay. But that's something for tomorrow morning.
day 7 left | right day 17 ps. the houses are from the country I am going to for my vacation.
I am not sure if observing is the right word. I think it's more of figuring out how to sketch the details. Details such as the roofing and the (bloody annoying but satisfying when you finally get some to work after few days) greenery. At the same time, yes I have been observing more details. Observing to figure out how to draw these things...
By the way, I decided to already prepare a draft of the first half of my blog detailing the proces. I hope you don't mind me taking lots of inspiration in the way you made your blogs.
This makes me super excited to read more about what you've learned, and I love the difference levels of detail from day 7 to 17. I may not be correct, but it looks from these two drawings that you've started observering more, like with all the smaller aspects of the buildings :)
Why do some people think that because a skin has 6 extra pixels on the eyes it's automatically a bad skin? people put just as much effort into what some people would dub a "teen skin" as they do skins without those 6 extra pixels.
As someone who's been making skins with unusual colors and eye shapes, I too have heard comments like those, my answer's always the same, different styles for different tastes. Personally I either do big 2x2 pixel eyes or odd shapes, for a plethora of reasons, main ones being color options and expressions, but 1x2 eyes, dot eyes, NO eyes, etc... are all fine choices too, they may not always be to my taste but it doesn't make the skin bad either.
I totally agree with you, different skins suite different styles and like you I personally prefer the depth that the bigger eyes have because it lets you experiment with complementary colours!!
i too have come across a lot of eyeball elitists lol
i like bigger eyes on my own skins because they aren't just...one white pixel, one blue pixel, they have more depth imo i think the small eyes work on skins with more mature/darker character concepts & "teen" eyes work really well on portraying youthful/bright characters
there's a place for every skin style, including teen skins. they aren't less than </3
So... day one in the pocket of my own sketch journey.
Being inspired by Stubbs1 Sketch journey's one and two. I decided to do my own version of it. Not 60 but 40 days of sketching. The first 20 to get the very basic's down or rather, re-evaluate what I always used as base without really questioning it.
The last 20 days, doing actual urban sketching while traveling abroad / being on vacation. With the main goal to be in better shape in my vacation than the previous years.
p.s. also making this post to give an additional kick under my own butt, to do it actually for 40 days.
lmaooo took me like 3 minutes to realise the site moderator thing was april fools and i was mildly panicked , i was like oh nooo unwanted responsibility XD, but my first declaration as site moderator is to declare april 2nd international turtle appreciation day!
