Continuation of my ballpoint pen training without pencil guides.
@davidrevoy Nice! Now I’m just waiting for the Cammy-Pepper crossover
(love the dragon, by the way!)
If you want to look at no-guides amateur scribbling for minimal drawing time (simplified as much as possible so I can get the info in), you can check my best thing today sketches. They are about 5 minutes every morning and directly in ink: https://www.draketo.de/kreatives/best-thing-today#2023-11
(I now thought these could interest you, because you’ve been looking now and then for ways to draw fast)
@ArneBab Thank you!
That's a cool habit and a good collection you have here. I liked to see pattern; the sideview running bunny, jumping sometime on mushrooms. And also it was good to see how the sheet got organised, with frame, colors, etc... on the most recent ones.
@davidrevoy I’m glad to hear that (and happy that it was interesting enough that you looked through several)
I started these sketches as a self-protection measure when I was in a pretty dark place mentally: everything seemed gray and I did not remember the good experiences of the week at the end of the week.
And it worked: I now remember far more positive moments and the life I remember is a brighter one.
Also I enjoy drawing these
@davidrevoy
Aside: Most frames are actual screens from playing games
The thought bubbles are from playing pen-and-paper roleplaying games (usually online these days).
And the colors came gradually, and I also like a lot how they work out. I usually just use a small packet with 8 pens (4 color brushes, a gray brush, and three different blacks: a brush, a fineliner, and an 1.5 felt tip).
With these the sketchbook and the color packet fit well into my hand, so I can draw anywhere.
@davidrevoy Back on topic: while what I draw are these very simple sketches, I totally adore your drawings.
They are just so lively and friendly and intense and beautiful.
On top of that they are wonderful free culture: my kids are actually allowed to spread them freely which is still a rare gift these days.
Thank you for sharing your art!
