How to fix the top 5 head construction drawing mistakes: https://www.thedrawingcodex.com/fixyo...
In this video I discuss the challenge of Drawing Everything. Often when we are starting out, or working on large projects the scope of work is so great... that it feels like around every corner there is something new to knock us off course.
The challenge is also to be able to redraw these same objects and characters again and again. To have control of your drawing to the point where you can simply... draw all the things.
I use a book I drew back in 2014 (Pinocchio) to show you how I tackle some of these problems when I'm working on a project. I share my experience working on a book like this and talk about the specific challenges that came up when designing the large cast of characters.
There are a lot of shortcuts you can use. And ultimately it's about using a mix of solid structural while paying attention to the emotion of your characters, and the intent behind your drawings. The key is to remember that while we can learn a lot of solid drawing techniques... what really matters is how we apply these while still thinking of character.
Each drawing and each character and each project is unique. Which is why I address the specific challenges of the Pinocchio book. To draw everything we need to learn a lot about our world, and use it to create a new world on the page.
Happy Drawing!
