RE: Drawing #1 - Practice - The progression of my drawing skills

in #drawing8 years ago (edited)

Thanks @nathwright876 ! Would you recommend that I continue practicing my sketching without copic or start practicing with copic right away? I've seen how copic can really make artwork POP but I'm not sure if my drawing skills are good enough to invest in copic yet.

Sort:  

comic is a typo, i meant copic haha

I don't think there is a skill level when someone is ready for copic markers, just get them when you can and begin learning to use them. Your skills will continue to improve while making your drawings Pop that bit more.

I've never had the spare cash to get a decent set, I would love a set and am thinking of buying a bunch of new equipment soon.

AHHH! I totally "copic'd" your typo tooooo! I secretly edited my post >.>......
Lol.
I heard too that they were super expensive. But! I did my research and one person recommended a certain paper to practice copics with and a set of twelve markers for beginners, which, he recommended because you could blend them to make other colors.
Yay, if nathwright approves, then I can get copics!

(ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧ throws art dust on everyone

haha well done :p I noticed your secret edit!

I blame my phone, Ive still not managed to turn auto complete off.

They are really expensive, take a look at this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/261-0271716-5128152?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=copic

I was thinking I could buy a set or two but... maybe they are still a bit too expensive. That is why I used promarkers in the past, they are a similar type of pen and the only down side is they don't have the felt brush tip.

I'll probably treat myself to the poorer mans copic for the time being.

you puzzle me here, why does my approval matter to you getting copic markers?

Go right a head, learn, colour, have fun drawing.

More importantly clean this art dust up you threw it everywhere. >:@

Yeah, the price makes me sad. Even so, I think I'm going to go for the copic sketch. Your approval matters because if someone gets angry at my copic artwork, I can say that you approved my idea!

haha damn it! not more dust, I just got the last lot sorted! :)

Why would anyone get angry at your copic artwork? and why do you need me to point the blame at?

Ye you are right play comes first!

Well i hope the copics go well I've just order a different brand and spent a fair amount on 24 markers and an A3 pad of bleedproof paper.

maybe they are equally expensive as copic markers.

I just bought copic sketch markers and bleedproof paper! I had to come back to this post to tell you lol. I don't know what to draw with them though... o.O

That's awesome :)

What did you buy?

My delivery arrived yesterday - https://steemit.com/art/@nathwright876/monday-the-early-delivery-i-thought-would-be-later-in-the-week

But I don't know what to draw either, blasted annoying!

I have some practice ideas but I really want to start my next character drawing
