Material Study Process
Added 2021-02-19 22:00:41 +0000 UTCHere are all the process images for each study!!
There's a lot here, at first it was tough starting off but as I started getting more practice it became a lot of fun to do!
Definitely one of the best things about making art for Patreon/Substar is having that motivation for when I might feel lazy. I often find when I do feel a little like procrastinating it's best to just suck it up and just pick up that pen and draw, in no time I get into the groove of things and enjoy myself!
I think one of the things artists grapple with the most is the beginning process of creating anything, especially if you're trying new things; You never really know if it's going to be successful, I used to get quite a bit of anxiety starting off the week because I would feel bad if what I was making wasn't up to my standard. This mindset is what makes me procrastinate.
As my skills have improved I have become more confident in myself and instead of approaching the week thinking "what if I'm not good enough?" I try to take it a day at a time. Learning to trust the process has been key, especially this week!
There were a few materials I feel I didn't do super strong with but that's because these are new things for me and it just means they need more practice which will happen. One of the best takeaways this week is that I have introduced myself to a lot of new ideas and techniques! This is essential because it means when I eventually introduce these materials in my larger art pieces (e.g. fur) I won't be trying to do things that are totally alien to me. I'll feel more comfortable and ready to take them on.
On top of all this I even made my own step by step process that I accidentally stumbled upon trying to do the bubble tutorial! Even though it's an *ahem* condom... I will be proud of my achievements no matter what they may be!
As always thanks for your support and enjoy!
