Grissailles: worth the trouble or wasted effort? Glazes seem more effective at adding depth.

I'm trying to do more with pen and ink work, but I'm finding it hard to transition from a pencil into ink and line. This is the last thing I did recently - if anyone has any advice to give I'd be very grateful to you.

It seems to me like training to draw with both hands would be a good deterrent from CPS. You'd be splitting the workload among both hands so that you could rest one hand without slowing down your studies.
How am I wrong?

How does that work?can he think separately at the same time or does he need to pay attention at 1 for few sec and other again for few sec
>>
>>2479909
The video is sped up really fast so it seems like he's drawing the faces simultaneously, but in reality that's not really possible. A single brain can only focus on one thing at one time.
That's why I don't think it would really make the drawing process faster, it would just take a lot of stress off of the dominant hand. It would probably help people appreciate and respect symmetry a lot more too.

What the hell is CPS?

The thing is that the key animators and animation directors know their shit.
It doesn't matter if the chinese outsourcing screws up because the directors know how to create popper flow and fix the crippling mistakes the DA tier artists make.

Every good artist has good hand control. Hand control is the only factor which is beyond us. You can't train it unless you have a double Palmaris Longus Muscle. Don't believe me? Ask your favorite artist whoever it may be.
Glenn Vilppu has a double palmaris, so does Proko and Sycra. Glenn's the OP pic. I have it too, and so does everyone who is better than at least 50% of i/c.
It has become very clear that we've mis-identified the spark as something within us, but it's clear our body is the real limit.
So I ask you I/C. Do you have it? Do you have the ligameme?

You can also read "Artist's Complete Guide to Drawing the Head" and I think "Famous Artist Course" has a decent chapter or two on portraits.

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

Very oldfag here. Back in my teens I thought I was going to be some kind of comic book artist or some shit. Unfortunately for me and probably fortunately for you I had to face up to the fact that I just wasn't very good. I would have had to invest a lot more time into it and I got forced into a work situation so never really picked it up again. However I hung onto some of the stuff I created. Most of it is pretty crappy when I look at it now. When I look at the amazing shit some artists do it makes me sad. Anyhow I thought it might be fun to share with you some of it and see how a teenager from the 80's with creative aspirations and some weird thought processes got it out of his system. I have removed the signatures so excuse the black blocks on some of them. Also please excuse the photos since my scanner is not large enough.
