PaintBoss, thank you very much for the words that encourage me and help a lot,
then the reflections are all true,
like about the fear of trying something, sometimes my drawings very clear, almost invisible for fear of going too dark (which actually never happens, they are always too light), but this has not happened to me too often, voluntarily, it is plus the difficulty in understanding when the drawing is ready and when to continue, thinking about it here too it is important to practice, as you say, to try, however, about fear before starting to draw again, for a while I was afraid of the white sheet .
when 6 years ago I started drawing again, the albums I had bought I didn't start immediately because I was convinced that each blank page was worth more than me (I stopped drawing when I was 12 or 13, in any case we had an hour of drawing week (as an adult, today I think that the story I tell is due to this, to the scarce time that the educational institutions gave us to such beautiful and important things, one hour for drawing, one hour for gymnastics.), during teacher lessons he told us to draw a drawing, on a theme, to do at home and start there, once he assigned 2 themes, 1 favorite cartoon, 2 topic of your choice, I loved drawing cartoons in those years, I made them both as a reference (I was happy and proud of the result even if they were not special designs, usually my designs were enough (and I think that after almost 3 decades, it is still like this, my dream then was to learn how to do it even if without thinking of being able to do it professionally. lmente or to be able to excel but as a precious passion to cultivate, I think I did and do drawings with a grade of 5 or 6 that could arrive with work and years at 7), those I think were good marks because they were topics that I loved and practiced,) , teacher said I couldn't have made them myself, there were laughter, especially a big, long story also the reason for the laughs, however I thought that obviously he must have his reasons for thinking that and that they could not make me improve those reasons, (at the era I did not know that drawing from memory is different than drawing from life, that talent counts but also work and practice, method and techniques, that perhaps learning is different, implicit or not implicit, that maybe you can learn in 15 years instead of one)
anyway I started to like drawing less and I didn't do it anymore, I thought about it when I was 20 and tried again sometimes, but I started drawing again only 20 years after I stopped, after thinking for a long time if I could learn or not and if I could only learn formally, with schools except or ok from home, after years I bought some books and searched online, in recent years known wetcavans, and a community like this, like this site, is fantastic, has increased my desire to draw and learn, I would have liked to know wetcavans much earlier, at least 10, maybe 20, it would have been important for the mistakes I made outside the drawing, the mistakes I make with my drawing, I don't mind because they help me learn, the mistakes I have done out of the drawing, I'm sorry because I foolishly conditioned my life, maybe I had a real panic attack, but it prevented me from entering the last year of university in the regular years and then no I have not finished my studies anymore, and for another mistake I wasted many years and / or I never tried to do one of the things I loved and maybe I wanted to study, even when I was about to do it), they were actually cheap albums but for 2 months I didn't feel like using them, then I took the reams of paper, photocopy paper, this still much cheaper, so I finally started drawing, and since then I'm not afraid to waste sheets, to use them without thinking about it, at least I use those for photocopying but I finally realized that the waste was not using things,
maybe sometimes I do it with some colors (I had bought some gadot means like windson and newton aquarelli then I didn't want to use them, unwrap them to learn with these, and I got some 6 euro watercolors, thinking of starting from those, this year I decided to buy gauche after avevr saw that they were selling them by cat, I have them for a few months but I'm glad to use them,) or my favorite album but very little.
now anyway, after the first months mentioned, I no longer think that I waste paper, I just hope to draw as much as possible, so as to practice and improve regardless of the result.
sorry I have dirty the post, with these words, sorry as well that as written in the past in my first messages I should really learn English.
they are not atist cards but the drawings I made yesterday are placed in this message, because as a card I would make animals or comics, disney classic or warner classic
early disney or warner, marvel, comics mamarvel or baman I like but for now I avoid that I find them more difficult, other idea that I like for drawings, what maybe the actors of the films I like,
and caricatures.
however for the cards I think above all the drawings of animals, among the subjects I like to try, I also made these on a4 sheet, on less than half a4 sheet, so maybe it can go as wip, ah, I was saying about the paper, these were standard light sheets, but I really like reams of paper weighing about 200 grams, cardboard, I had read it on Wetcavans by arnoud, for ink I like to use these, in recent years I have bought 2 reams a4 and I have used these, too with pencils but with ink they were beautiful, months ago then I took another one, this time I found an a3 that sometimes I cut, maybe ok for that, but actually just cut out sheets for the right size, ok also from album.
yesterday drew two animals from photos. photo on W C.
I used a4 sheet, and a colored pencil, water fell while I was drinking on the sheet, standard a4 sheet photocopy,
were from photos, but also from drawing, it helped me a lot for these, to see drawings, drawings that I was seeing these days, drawings that I saw while drawing, beautiful drawings by a German artist I think I had happened to see the works online. (the drawings I saw do not very much resemble these of mine
https://www.google.com/search?q=Far...UKEwiUrIGx2Z3zAhUChf0HHRG2&wAhF0HHRG2&wI8AH8& beautiful, study but still I read,is not making an exact copy but trying something, trying to understand something, however mine helped me one of the reasons why I liked to draw and also be able to see, spend time with drawings, works that I love, artists that I admire so much,
whether it is a drawing or seeing a post like this, with your wonderful works, it is a really beautiful thing and a pleasure, you see that art is a means that produces beauty, makes things see differently, and therefore helps in many ways .
