    “Setting out what I want to learn with my given piece, then making sure I get that done, not just fill the space as usual.” Sir. Sensei. I begin to be profoundly thankful that I found your stuff. I’m even learning to appreciate your manner of fantasy content.

      I think it's quite a common issue, even amongst professionals 😕 As strange as it sounds, I think it's possible to relearn to have fun though and hopefully this video helps you out in some way 😄 More coming up sooon

    This is such an important reminder. I’ve experienced similar small breakthroughs when I try to do something for fun without much preparation on the front end. And I’m always pleasantly amazed by the results by the end of it. I think what you ‘re saying here, that you have less to confuse you and more room to push around with small variation of additional reference after the fact is a big factor.
    Really something to keep in mind. Maybe there’s a good way to incorporate this approach in professional work, too?
    I love your character drawing! Such great form and style to it

      Thanks Alex, I think what you said is right. Ultimately, I think it's great exercise to see how resourceful and creative you can get. Limitations breed creativity, after all!
      I think it can be applied to professional work too, it's just that the "ingredients" that you choose have to have a particular flavor now based on your intent. Eg: If you are designing something that is supposed to be in a particular climate, maybe go for that has that kind of vibe. However, maybe the real twist is that you choose a winter based ref ;)
      I think real creativity comes out when you just learn to let go and have fun and I think that's probably where we suddenly stiffen up as we feel that professional work has a lot more at stake. So I think learning to tap into that flow state and loosening up is the bigger challenge to overcome :)
      Thanks for your comment and checking out the video!

    As an artist I hear this advice like a slap to the face because I know it’s something I need to implement to improve. It’s scary because it’s harder to use less references in some ways but I know it helps force creative solutions. Thanks for the great vid!

    • @jtuffdesigns
      @jtuffdesigns  Місяць тому +1

      I think there can definitely be a false feeling of security that arises when you fortify yourself behind a wall of reference. But it can end up being what imprisons you too 😅 It helped me realize that being more efficient and creative are definitely worthwhile skills to invest into! Thanks for checking the video out 😄

    Do you use any sort of paper texture screen protector on your iPad? Or do you have a stand for it to be more at eye level?

      I have the paper texture but i've yet to get the stand. I think getting it would help me with my posture though 😅

      I believe it's the bold black outline on the character makes it stand out. You don't see that as much on this background. A brown/grey and thinner outline would make them merge more. Rim lighting would look nice on a few scales/spines. Love this art piece though!

    everything one Earth is reference lol......to draw from imagination is to combine your imagination with reference. Dragon? You seen any real dragons? No must be reptiles, birds and dinosaurs...... getting tangled in this imagination/reference squabble is funny and a waste of time.
