To me people are super hard, way harder than landscapes, practically impossible for me to draw and you do them beautifully so I assumed a landscape would be np. It didnt occur to me that you could be bad at them while being able to handle people. People are very difficult. The main reason I am woefully atrocious with landscapes is because I never really worked on them. It took me a long time to actually get people down in any capacity. At first I did stick figures and would do stick figure wars on notebook paper. Then I started drawing some really shitty anime characters or outright copying existing ones. That's still pretty common for people, actually. It wasn't until high school that I made a serious effort to work on realistic people. In elementary school and junior high I would attempt realistic people only to have them coming out look ridiculous and having elongated faces, huge noses, weird eyes, etc. In high school I started drawing people that looked like people, but not like the people I was drawing. I spent an entire summer, day and night, drawing people. Mountains of crumpled up paper adorning my floor as I desperately tried to get better as quickly as I could. It sort of worked. By the end of high school I was drawing people that looked like the person I had set out to draw. As I went into college and beyond I stuck with it and found myself with a seemingly insurmountable hurdle to overcome. See, I'm colorblind, and painting the traditional way wasn't working, unless I did solid colors with no shading. So I devised a way to mathematically determine color values, and, using the eyedropper tool in Photoshop, created a swath of colors I still use to this day. I may not be able to see what I'm painting, but according to my numbers the colors are correct. It took years to get that down, though. Anyways, have a makeshift timeline! 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2004 (trying for realism) 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! And if I may give a bit of advice on drawing people to pass on your girls... Have them practice drawing still lives and pictures of people upside down. Helps single things out and makes your mind start working in a more constructive way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
