can't sleep so heres a sphere for you guys.. i haven't been drawing as much as I should but i feel like im improving.

your not really improving because your not putting the time in or the research, it just seems that way because you tried to draw a face, which is much more appealing than a sphere



ofcourse if you decided to paint or draw more than a sphere every few weeks, you would probably improve pretty quickly

I spent an hour on the sphere last night trying to get the shading down, i have drawn so much at school but have had the drawings thrown away because i left them out and left class. I've been drawing a lot even though i don't always post them.

If you spending an hour on that sphere, you need to check your technique, its not so much about getting a smooth transition with perfect mechanical shapes, its getting it to make sense on paper and work together. Next time you do a sphere dont even try to blend it because that wastes time, focus on these values and distinguish them from eachother, here they are in order of brightest to darkest: high light>reflected light> mid tone> ground plane shadow> core shadow


i can lay down a sphere that looks 3d in about 2 minutes



also something to note, when your drawing, doodling is not the same as studying. Doodling is drawing on autopilot without thinking, studying is figuring out exactly what your not getting and solving those problems, it takes alot of focus

So tell me, who should I listen too. people telling me, if you dont spend time on something you're not going to get any better. so i spend time, then others are telling me to study and just throw it down.

Just take your time. You'll get quicker as you get better and understand things more.
