Practice "make before you manage".
🕑 Added 2022-06-15 03:12:42 +0000 UTCI learned a very important phrase from an artist's article yesterday.
Make before you manage". This means that before you get up in the morning and check your email first thing, before you open social media, you should work on something creative, even if it is only for 5 minutes. He learned this phrase from Tim Ferris' blog, who is also active in entrepreneurship and other fields.
And another important word. 'Photos and art saved from social media are only worth saving if you study them.' These are words that I have heard a lot. I already have a mountain of data that I've left to be studied at a later date.
This morning those words inspired me to work on a layout study for the first time in a while. (Source: https://twitter.com/tb_choi12/status/1536731476628164609?s=21&t=zr2hn3SHNR498Dp_sQ0AtQ)
One of the reasons I skipped my research was that I assumed that I could do this much research in a few minutes. In fact, for this one research sketch, the sand in my 30-minute hourglass dropped by one and a half times.
It took longer than I expected, but I still learned a definite lesson. Thanks to this morning's creative work, I could feel a slight but still definite progress from yesterday.
I had studied eye-levels a few days earlier. Thanks to this knowledge, I was able to notice that the background line eventually reached eye level (the red line), as well as the change in the way objects above and below eye level looked.
I was also able to reconfirm here the technique that the lines of all objects are directed toward the main boy and that the integration of the silhouettes of the sub-characters makes the boy stand out, whose silhouette stands on its own.
With the right knowledge, the next time you look at art, you will see it differently. But it is not always necessary to have knowledge first. You can try drawing art comprehensively first, or copying the art in front of you. One way to learn is to add logic later, based on the experiences and questions you gain there.
