Why you NEED to experiment with art and doodle.

Sometimes I feel my art gets a bit repetitive so how can we fix that?
While I make more comic-focused videos I wanted to make something simple and draw some bug characters while I talk about art.

How clothing fits with fantasy anatomy(wings, horns, tails, etc) is something that I love thinking about too, a bit small detail but still world building. Objects and furniture too. I don't draw enough of it and really should do more. Personally I'd love to see a video on that, even if only highlighting your use of it.

[@KatieCloverArt]

Yes! It's such a fun subject. Hopefully in the future I'll have time to make a video about it.

Good advice for me since I am also project focused and then I get overwhelmed and don't do any art. Separately, I would like to know more about your process at 7:20 to improve drawing from memory the poses. You mentioned you just find realistic photos and draw the poses? Could you show that process!? My poses tend to be very stiff and I want to expand more. Maybe my next step is to practice gesture drawing in general!

[@KatieCloverArt]

When I study from photos of people I like to focus on being quick and loose - usually taking 30 - 60 seconds to draw. That way I can focus on the movement and expression of the pose rather than just getting the anatomy right. I find the more I do this the easier it gets to draw from memory. But yes, I will keep this idea in mind for future ideas!

@@KatieCloverArtI see, brilliant! I now understand that my struggle is both lack of (enough) knowledge of anatomy AND movement and poses. I will incorporate this exercise. Thank you, thank you so much! And yes, please keep this idea in mind for a potential video! 😁

thank you so much

Ahh your designs are so cool! I love the way you draw fabric, clothes and figures- it’s so nice to look at! Very cool!! :D

Thank you so much 😀

I love doodling but feel guilty for using references for something that should be as “easy” and “low effort” as a doodle

Good luck to everyone working on Mermay
