All last year, I have been drawing from life or photos,and took a drawing 1 class in college,(but had to drop out,couldn't afford it..) I notice I learned a lot about lines and creating a 3d object on a flat piece of paper. I learned drawing is a lot like sculpting. Before I was only thinking about the lines. I was drawing and not thinking about the "3d" space the drawing was in!
Sometimes I fall into my old habits...lol
When I looked at comic book artist or fantasy artist pencil works, I wonder how do they draw like that and why can't I ? They are using different line widths,and line stokes. Thin lines can be use for drawing details,and/or if the object/character is far. Thick/bold lines are use for shadows,or if the object/character close.
Drawing a dark line and slow fading it to a light line,will make line appear to go off in the distance,and vesre-versa. I kinda knew all of this,but it didn't click with me until took that class.
I hope I will develop my style into something I'm more I'm happy with,but I think it will always be influenced by anime.
