Need subject matter ideas

Post Reply New Topic

Doing some hard evaluation on my sketching and artwork I have come to a rather self-evident conclusion, sad as it may be. I suck at spatial dimensions. I can draw an eye, for example with eerie accuracy, shade it well enough to seem like it peers at you from the sheet of paper, but, put it in a face and it looks like a blind woman pasted body parts on a blank head with little regard for dimension. It does not seem to matter how many layers of lines and guides and under-drawings I evoke to put s**t where it goes, it seldom ends up looking like it fits. I love to draw and I have been obsessed with portraiture for a while but of course, it seems to be a failing recourse. Thus in light of this self-imposed torture I am going to try, very hard, to steer my subjects in a different direction.

The problem is what to draw? I have no idea what else will catch my attention for me to draw it that will not madden me beyond comprehension.

why not try to draw hyperdimensional objects?

Practice, practice, practice...


Been there, done that. Just keep doing it...it will come...in time...

Thank you so much for all your suggestions!

*sigh* with how stressing my life has been the past three days, I don't even know how I manage to pick up the pencil. I am so sick to my stomach I think I will throw up again. because of this: s**t hit the fan
