Sup guys! My name is Barry! Moved to California from Texas st study at Watts and now trying to break into the industry. Wanted to join here to not only keep my skills fresh (since art isnt full time :() but also to share, help, and inspire others! Hope all is well and here is some of my work.
Start with studies.
Some illustration and concept work.
Really great art work you’ve got! Although was it necessary to create 7 copies of the same thread? Could be unintentionally done, but still.
Unfortunately something went crazy with my connection. Trying to figure out how to delete them. I’ll probably with have to contact them and let them know to delete the other post. Sorry guys.
It’s okay, I know how it feels when connection gets jittery. :/ But your skills are extraordinary, I can only hope that I’d be able to paint as well as you someday. 🙂
Hey @barryb1718, are you a fellow member of the Watts groups on FB? Your work is great – I look forward to seeing more!
Sorry for the late comment guys but extremely sick and now working on the portfolio.
Deanyosla – Thank you and you will! It all takes time so keep at it and draw as much as possible.
SavinaFrancisco – Yup I’m on FB group. I’m rarely on there though because i’m so close to the school. Thank you by the way! I’ll be posting more soon!
Svetlanalashina – Thank you!! Don’t be afraid to post your work. We all can help each other out and learn together!
Oh hope you get better soon!
I’m aware it takes time, though inability to see own progress kind of demotivates me quite a bit from time to time. Lately I’ve not been able to draw anything other than quick scribbles which I wouldn’t even dare show anyone and some boring hand dexterity exercises.(Connect the dots, ellipses, hatching value scales done poorly) Aside from that, nothing much else. Attempted to start some kind of character drawing, but I gave up shortly after starting. I’m not confident in my artistic skills, in fact I feel they’re inferior compared to what I can only dream of creating.
@Deanyosla – I definitely know how that feels. The best advice I have for that is to study anatomy and study other artist. For me my lack of confidence came mostly from my lack of knowledge. I (to this day) spend a lot of my drawing time studying anatomy and artist I admire. It’s a great way to learn as well.
“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
I feel as if every artist is only as good as the people he/her studies.
I’m not really sure how to study properly. I’ve started some course, a book and couldn’t finish neither. Some art subjects are very thorough, vast. I have plenty of books but I don’t read them.
Couldn’t figure out how to study other artists at all. I can only attempt at copying the artwork, but it won’t work that well.
All I did was copy and as far as studying anatomy I would pick a certain body part and draw it from 50 to 100 times. There are many good books and techniques you can study. I love the reilly method but have been using the mannequin method as of recent. The biggest thing is just sitting down and getting the pencil moving. The only way to get better is to spend as much time as possible drawing.
I like the indian and his horse, nice shading and crisp inspired drawing, very fluid though.
