Tbh, if anything is gonna fail, it’s my painting lol, but there are always colour pencils which are never gonna fail, but I really wanted to try something else
I think I am just gonna draw some gradients and stuff instead of something complicated
Cool. I always liked colored pencils, but I can never get them to do what I wanted.
Not that I practiced enough in the first place of course.
I tend toward simple lines and drawing comics more, I love black and white ink line drawings
I also feel like they might not be great if you wanna make something more than simple drawings/colorings
Colored pencils?
Yeah, I don't think I ever got passed crude brontosauruses and t-Rexes with those.
But boy, was there an excess of dinosaur coloring going on, haha.
Oh and one detailed gryphon in 9th grade.
Actually, I remember that this one gryphon turned out so well that I stopped used coloring pencils afterwards haha.
Like I thought to myself " All right, I've reached the peak of my craft. Time to move on."
