Successful Drawing by Andrew Loomis

"For those who have an understading of nature's laws, plus vision, the greatest teacher is nature itself. If the artist has the technique of depiciting the construction and contours of an object set in space, plus the knowledge of how light operates on the forms we consider basic, he has acquired the springboard to his own individual expression, which, after all, is of greater value than anything else" (p. 13)

Tip: Frame your object to decide which angle makes it look better.

"What a good drawing is?"

The five P's

Proportion

Placement

"When a viewoint has been selected and a placement decided upon, we start to draw" (p. 13)

Perspective

"Since perspective is the first main problem that arises, it is the first thing the artist should learn".

Planes

Light, halftone and shadow.

Pattern

"Placement relates to composition in terms of line, pattern relates to it in terms of tonal areas".

I never finished Eldarya Origins, as I never liked the characters in the game. But I like the clothes so much that to this day I only go to dress my guardian. At that time my ex gave me a box of 48 colored pencils as a gift and I still have them haha

Mermay. Jess, Leo and Clara character sheet that I never finished. Jess as Mad Hatter. Fanarts of Eldarya and my OC. Dragons. Eme emerged in 2017 and became a competitor with Jess as my main OC

Successful Drawing by Andrew Loomis

"Drawing is vision on paper. More than that, it is individual vision, tied up with individual perception, interest, observation, character, philosophy, and a host of other qualities all coming from one source. It cannot, and to be successful should not, be anything else" (p. 11).

A successful drawing is a drawing that shows a vision.

Intelligent perception + emotions

"When drawing is convincing to the intelligent perception of the spectator because of its rightness of from, texture, space, and lighting, and at the same time appeals to hisemotions, the artist can depend upon a favorable response" (p. 12).

Why my art does not appeals to the public? And more than that, why my art does not appeal to me? At first I thought it was a technique problem, but I look at the drawings I made when I was child or as a teenager and they seem so full of life and joy that sometimes I fell I grow up broken and that's why my art is broken. I've learned a lot over the past years and still feel like I've lost something. I want it back so desperately that sometimes I cry thinking about it. And I can't even tell what I lost.

What emotions I want to express with my art?

Love, deeply love and passion. Warmness as a hug. Sexyness and fun. Femininity. Comfort. Desire of have it or live on it. Sweetness. Cuteness.

How to do that?

I'm trying to discover!!! (I'm full of hope)
