I can't say way for sure but when autumn comes I always want to try something new - change my hairstyle or hair color, style of clothing, move to a new apartment or buy a new pet. Most likely, this is because some time ago in the fall, after a long, as it seemed at that time, summer vacation, we returned to school where new knowledge was waiting for us. Time passes but habits remain.
This year was no exception for me - I got fascinated by digital illustration. I used to do vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator, but it was just a small hobby for me, this time my attention was drawn to the program Procreate and now I really think that this hobby can make some money. Unfortunately, I don't have a tablet or an iPad at the moment, so I have nothing to practice on, and I just watched various videos on You Tube and dreamed of repeating it all on my own, but then I realized that I don't need a tablet in the early stages of my studies. I can draw the same things using a pencil and a piece paper, especially since I can't draw at all, so for now I can just practice in lines and shapes, learn the basics of color and expand my knowledge in different drawing styles.
And in my opinion there is already something to be proud of :)
First, very overestimated I decided to draw a rat on my own, but it didn't work out very well:
Then I found a You Tube channel of illustrator that I like and decided to draw using her training materials. It already turned out better:
And I decided to continue in the same direction - to find some references that I like and try to copy them. That's how these animals appeared. I took inspiration from this illustrator:
At the moment, this is all I can brag about but in the future I plan to continue moving in the same direction... let's see what all this will lead to.
Thank you for spending time with me!. We will definitely meet again!
