Imagine Dragons (And Then Draw Them)
Рет қаралды 49,268
Күн бұрынArtist @DevinElleKurtzArt shares her approach to drawing dragons! Her method draws inspiration from using real reptiles, such as horned lizards and leopard geckos, focusing on specific features like horns and face shapes to enhance her fantasy creature designs. This lesson also emphasizes the need to simplify subjects into basic shapes, like cylinders and triangles, to easily adjust forms. For instance, mixing a gecko's head with crested gecko spikes can result in interesting dragon ideas. By the end of this lesson, you'll understand how to make creatures that look both imaginative and believable by modifying real animal anatomy.

That "my sketchbook is for me" realization really hits home. I have been drawing as a hobby for a good 20 years or so, but have never been consistent. I had this same "epiphany" two years ago when I finally got an ipad and was able to break free, so to speak. I started seeing my sketchbook the same I saw my ipad, where my art is for me and "pages" are to practice and have fun on, not keep pristine bc I used to get paralized if I wasn't doing a masterpiece for others to look at. It was VERY liberating.

I've been so self concious of my sketches recently. I felt like I should be at a level where they should look visually appealing and have proportions that create nice ratios. But seeing Devin's scratchy, not yet refined sketches with shapes that may not look just right yet makes me feel more comfortable
@burakdalklc885 3 ай бұрын
I am understanding this better recently. Firstly writing down a scenario( enviroment, the creature's way of living, so by this infos it's biological features, needs etc.) and than building up a body structure on it. So that my drawing itself will have a story. I love your videos, thank you very much ❤

@3polygons 3 ай бұрын
For some reason, I often start drawing a dragon but it becomes a horse. And when I draw a horse, it wants to end up as a dragon. My conclusion is that dragons and horses might secretly be shapeshifters.

Love Horney Toads! I mean it would be really easy to turn them into a dragon saying one of their defense mechanisms is shooting blood from their eyes. Just turn blood to acid and you have a scary defense o.o Awesome art it's true one can learn so much from reality. There are some really epic lizards even more than the frilled lizard the possibilities are endless especially when people can also look at birds as well as mammals for the base!

It's really hard to conquer that feeling and, as Devin said, it's an ongoing thing to try to push back against. Hopefully, you get better with it!

hey guys at 7:15 in. When mentioning sketching on drawing paper which is thicker to be able to use markers on, what do you define as drawing paper please? I wasn't sure if over here in the UK that would be printer paper maybe? although that would be much thinner then the strathmore sketchbook so I presume that I have it wrong. Can anyone recommend? Thanks!
@ProkoTV 2 ай бұрын
Usually, it'll be called exactly that on the cover of a sketchbook. Drawing, Sketching, Marker, Watercolor and Multimedia will all be words you see describing the qualities and purpose of the different paper types. "Drawing" paper will usually be a bit thicker than printer paper and might have some texture to it but isn't always textured. Even cheaper drawing paper books from dollar stores and places lie that will still be able to work better with markers and other tools that are a little more wet than just a pencil or ballpoint pen. Hope that all helps!
