| TallSilhouette said: Pretty similar story here. I downloaded all my old art books in pdf form (archive.org has a bunch) and I'm going back through them. I also purchased a bunch of reference packs to practice with. Gonna go through them all and develop my own style bit by bit. |
Well if you ever need any more ref materials, shoot me a message, I've been downloading refs the past few years now (both SFW/NSFW). The books will be my main guidance point, and the materials downloaded will help me in finding my own style.
Since money is tight with me atm, I'm going old school and just going with pencil/paper, but one day I'll get the mone and the courage to try using a tablet myself (though I really do prefer the tablet with a screen to help me visual what I'd be drawing).
I kinda want to draw up a story featuring characters on the island I live on, but set in the Victorian era (with some light fantasy elements to go with my island's mythos). Animation would be great, but atm I can only work with existing media in Sony Vegas, and not adobe premier/blender.
My main reason for wanting to draw again is because I'm kinda sick of working retail, and I'd rather work for myself and have some actual passion to put into something I'd like to do (vs retail, where your only passion is sharing a company's ideals, even if they don't align with your own). I've seen numerous friends and non friends in the art community make their livings via various avenues and those that do make it work seem to find decent to great support, and that's something that feels more wholkesome to me than working some retail outlet, where hardly anyone remembers you.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
