By desaturating someone’s art you can see the values. A lot of artist work in black and white first. If your piece works in black and white it will be even better in color. If it doesn’t work in black and white it will never work in color. I use the iPad app Procreate to turn the colors on and off. #shortsGetting Over Artist Block #shortsBrads Art School2021-02-08 | Have you ever stared at a blank sheet of paper wondering what to draw? One way to kickstart your creativity is to participate in a Draw this in your style challenges. These are all over Instagram there’s a hashtag. There is always a hashtag.

Figure out my pose, then I simplify it, maybe tweak something to make it more cartoony or match my style and boom, a much better illustration than I would have had, had I not used a 3d model as a reference. I like to pull in 3D models into the iPad app Procreate as a reference. #shortsDrawing Faces - A Beginners GuideBrads Art School2021-02-02 | Learn to Draw in 60 Days: http://bradsartschool.com Join this channel to get access to perks: youtube.com/channel/UClX5lGGHeZ7OILb1ozSNtOg/join
