First Digital Drawing
This is a digital drawing made using the Medibang Paint Pro drawing software. This drawing was done with a basic understanding of how the drawing software works, mimicking digital drawing methods previously seen on Instagram and experimenting with the different tools available on Medibang Paint Pro. The aim was to evaluate my capacity for digital drawing prior to attempting tutorials and online classes so as to have a before and after, showing how my skills developed. (left) hand mannequin bought from the Tate Liverpool, it was the original base for the digital drawing but then I decided I wanted something with color and tone so I overlapped my hand (right) in the same pose. The things I think I can improve on are my blending of color and tone, picking the color that matches the image or object that I'm drawing from the color pallet and my understanding of using the tools available on the drawing software.
Great work, keep it up your learning a lot from this type of research. As you are finding out its really important to understand the anatomy, whats happening under the skin when trying to represent a figure. Also observing how light and shadows fall on the figure or any object is really important to help suggest form and position.
