[xdontyoufakeit]

Yeah!! Let's go traditional art!
These are my two latest pieces

 

[HyperPolka]

I LOVE traditional art, but digital is just so much easier to work with :/ I wish I had more time to dedicate to it

This isn't quite what is expected of this thread, but, well, calligraphy is art, right? Even if this is mostly just practice. Still waiting on my actual calligraphic pens lol.

Why don't you exchange cards with the whole world? An ordinary letter should not be more expensive than $7. In addition, you can arrange to send a letter not with 1, but with 2 or 3 cards to save money.

Yes, you know, many people are ready to exchange for the FA, so everything is fine.

Not furry art, but a traditional figure study with conte sticks I've been working on.

I know this isn't an advice fourm but if anyone can PM/DM me tips on how to "git gud" especially in the hands department that would be very helpful. <3

General advice for all occasions, if you are doing something badly, train it more often. If you have the opportunity to draw at a friends ask them to hold their hands in a certain way to make quick sketches. No more than 5 minutes for each. Don't try to achieve beauty. Try to catch the movement, the bends of the joints.

I've been drawing a lot of gestures of bodies and hands but I still don't improve on drawing hands. :,) I usually do 15 second - 1 min gestures.

Your training can't be useless, you're still getting better
People did not immediately learn how to draw hands, their skill grew over the centuries, and they often hid their hands in portraits because it was difficult to draw them.

Reference sheet. Redesign. For friend.
This creature is a hybrid of a wolf with an axolotl, he also has wings.

This is spot on! Training is never useless.

I was an arts teacher in regular school and I used to say to my students that the greatest artist would not be able to draw a proper dog if they hadn't ever seen a dog. I mean they might get it sort of right with a description but my point is that talent does close to nothing without practice and references ^^


(also these ones are from a self-challenge of drawing 360 birds using watercolor xD)

I love traditional art, though I feel like people won't general consider it as it isn't digital, which is kinda sad ;3;
Here's a few examples of what I can do.
