This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The left side has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
So I am studying Loomis figure drawing book...well sort of...just copying the drawings probably wont sharpen my skills. If you happen to view this page comment on my work pleeeeaaassseee...Tips would be useful
Saw your conceptart post. If you want to be good at drawing from imagination you have to understand form and perspective (as well as lighting, colour theory etc.) in life drawing.
When you do your studies you need to know how your subject works, not just trace the lines you see in front of you. It's very difficult to explain, but as you are starting out, try to focus as little as you can on the details. Don't worry about hair, shading, cloth folds, etc. Break down your subject into simple models (cubes, spheres, cylinders etc) and try to 'construct' it as you draw. If you start focusing on details, you lose sight of the bigger picture.
When you are starting out it is very difficult for your brain to visualize more than 2 or 3 cubes and spheres at once, let alone all the molds that go into a human face. This is why Bridgeman's books are so good (as well as Andrew Loomis'. They break down the complexities of human figure into manageable forms.
Sorry for being so wordy or if I repeat things that you already know. Hope this helps. Keep on rocking.
Thanks man...I mean, people always go on about how you should draw people from life, but at the end of the day- thats not always easy, and then I'm told that drawing from pictures is crap and doesnt make you better conceptually...
