jelly = draw harder broski. compartmentalize your studies (figures and gestures/master studies/from life/ environments and perspective etc) , make sense of what you're doing from books and learn from your mistakes.

itu Ben's use of speed lines back then = holy shit can't see shit captain. half of the time i can't figure out the hell is happening in the scene. speed line clusterf***.

thanks - took about 30-40 mins iirc

you know if you're just starting to learn , custom brushes = biggest crutch ever. it keeps you away from learning how the materials and the surfaces actually form and how they react to different points of light. learned this shit the hard way. it's best to stick to : oval /round SOFT and HARD edged brush and the chalk brush and make studies of the materials you want to handle (rocks, stones, moss, grass, water, clouds, etc) with reference .

custom brushes speed up the workflow. good for production but not all that good in the learning phase.
