From my sketchbook.
I train myself to draw directly with ballpen while traveling (a lot of transport this week, for personnal reasons). Hard exercice, but full of good lessons. I want to practice more that way.

@davidrevoy Can you explain how this trains you? I think I may lean on my eraser/undo a little too much

@cookie_mumbles Hey, yes: in short, it trains the way i imagine things precisely before drawing them. It's frustrating, challenging and quickly reveals if i know a volume or (as often) NOT 🤭. If i can imagine it fully and hold it in memory while tracing it.

My next step is to learn more body parts and how to magnet my volumes to an imaginary perspective grid (cause i'm still bad at it and often fallback to isometry).

Eg: photo under, training on✌️hands.

@davidrevoy That's awesome, thank you for sharing!

Do you recommend this training for beginner/intermediate artists as well? Or should one be really familiar with how the volumes are supposed to work in 3d space?

@cookie_mumbles Its always hard to know what to recommend. In the past, I tried this method many times but it was always too frustrating , especially as soon as I screwed a face or a body part. I started to hate the page of this training on my sketchbook. Now, somehow I have more flexibility into improvisation, so even when I go wrong, I can somehow justify the random line into something else and still keep going. It helps. I still feel bad about it, but I at least not hate the pages anymore. 😋

@davidrevoy Thank you! I will give it a try (and probably end up with hated pages in my sketchbook haha)
