Memory vs reference! Pick an animal. Only draw it from memory then draw it from a reference image
i fucked up
>>2381564
I did this the other day and tried to get a critique of yhe process from my drawing one professor, guess which one he liked more.
>>2381564
This is so freaky, I wanted to make this exact thread like a few weeks ago. I was going to post a random animal generator link. I tried it but I kind of fucked myself on the one I did at first so I might try again later. Here's the generator I used though. https://www.randomlists.com/random-animals
You have to change it to show 1 animal and cover up the picture area so you can just read the name without seeing the reference.
>>2381875
yes you did, try again
>>2381927
memory giraffe has a dog head :)
Animal generator gave me Stallion
today i learned that otters have ears
>>2382194
not a bad try though
Always use reference. That is the lesson.
Seriously iamlaffin at that first attempt what the shit.
>>2382359
blog?
>>2382359
This exercise is actually pretty good for strengthening memory and observation skills.
>>2382399
Yeah it's a great exercise, I'm going to do some more of them. I've been meaning to draw more animals in general and I see now that I seeeeriously need to.
lmao
What the fuck did I ever tried to draw at the beggining?

>>2383619
Did you have a stroke?
lmao
that was fun and disappointing
it went ok I guess
>>2381564
I tried...practice doesn't hurt though.
The most fascinating part of this thread to me is that no matter what skill level, the reference always made a difference.

uwotm8? I draw about 5 times a year, I'm just trying to kill some boredom and redevelop the fine motor skills I once had. At the moment it's like I'm a damn dirty ape trying to draw with a charred spear

Why do you motherfuckers have to ruin everything good.
>>2384265

okay
>>2384223
I like how you remembered a rhino as some prehistoric preditor
Cri
I can now tell how shitty my image bank is now.
That poor first axolotl. I'm sorry.
I guess it could be worse
>>2384618
No ref is too cute. I like it.
>>2381965
>block the image
>press refresh
>porpoise, newt, ermine, the list goes on
>no idea what they even are
These are actual words? Looks like I have a hole in my vocabulary.
>>2384696
>porpoise, newt, ermine
bruh those aren't even that obscure
is English your first language?
Wow raptors really are more like birds than lizards. Thanks Chris Pratt.
>>2384752
No, obviously. It somewhat surprised me I couldn't recognize those. But then again newts rarely come up when discussing feminine dicks and whatnot on this Cantonese cartoon forum.
No idea what I was going for with the background.
>>2384787
oh ok, no those are perfectly understandable to not have heard of then.
I sure as shit don't know the Russian word for ermine
This was fun, If I spent more than a few minutes, I think I could have something really great.
Can I have a mild crit?
>>2381927
one more, guess which is which...
>>2382399
it's a good exercise in that it teaches people to fucking use reference
>>2384305
I'm sorry but the first one looks like it was hit in the face with a brick.
>>2384265
Grab your pencil, sharpen it, shove it up your ass, and keep fucking yourself until it turns into a colored pencil.
>>2384481
So I don't fuck up the next time, how do I make it so that my picture doesn't get flipped? I rotated it before posting aswell.
my crab needs more legs
>>2384937
it looks like you could draw an encyclopedia of animals n shit
>>2384659
did you specifically choose doberman or just 'dog'?
cos I went for dog and the first thing my hand started drawing was a doberman
>>2385841
proof that drawing dobermans is symbol dogging
hang me
>>2384937
your lines look like chicken scratch. they trigger me. need more drawabox.
>>2384575
nice, post blog
>>2384696
>being this ignorant
Kill yourself. Or educate yourself. Watch some nature documentaries.
>>2385902
>symbol dogging
My pre-reference capybara looks like a fucking hairless bear. This was a really good exercise, thanks OP.
>>2386549

>>2381564
And this is why we use references, friends.
