Has anyone here gotten into drawing and illustration based on their love of comics? How did it go?

I would say pretty well.
But I don't go as realistic as your pic related, as an euros I just read French-Belgian comics and now I can just draw 2 circles and a huge nose with a soft line as mouth and call it face
Hunter Edwards
I dabbled in drawing earlier this year but I've stopped because it's too time consuming. Maybe I'll start again some time.
Hudson Reyes
yeah, actually! Newspaper comics like foxtrot and the far side (and calvin and hobbes, the crowned father of all starry-eyed kid cartoonists) were big influences on me when i was younger and inspired me to read up on how to draw them. It led to a love of behind-the-scenes media about everything from comic strip to feature films, which is turn drove me to start studying animation and character design. Here I am 20-odd years later, working on my own projects and literally living the dream I aspired to as a child. feels good.
Angel Moore
OP that guide is wrong. The sphere is the cranium, not the entire face. The center line is the eyebrow line, and the bottom of the sphere is about the middle of the mouth or the bottom of the nose, depending on proportions.
Making the sphere the entire head results in fucked up "stonks" proportions.
Nicholas Ross
Eli Morgan
this was one of the biggest revelations for me in drawing. i ended up going with a more stylized approach i picked up from Steve Huston using boxes, but it's nevertheless an important distinction
Jeremiah Torres
I started to draw because I love cartoons and I made this, not high art, but it is a cool hobby to have.
Jeremiah King
Yes.
I wanted to be a concept artist at first, but I'm not good enough and most concept artists (especially for big studios) have to work in a realistic style, which is a deal breaker for me.
I'm doing 3D art now, but still draw and paint in my spare time.
Carson Russell
I also tried to make this /ic/ meme
Tyler Reed
jaja looomiss
Brayden Baker
Jace Richardson
most people don't know to do that. look at the majority of /beg/ tier artists
Joseph Nguyen
honestly when i first learned that it taught my brain . and when you do tell people to do this they dont get it at first
Joshua Cruz
user, no offense intended, but what the hell is that supposed to be? why do you have like 6 different rough line colors? what's going on???
Cameron Stewart
Yes. I learned to draw from Loomis, but never became a professional.
Apparently, Adam Hughes learned from the best as well.
Look at the book she's carrying.
John Moore
>chicken scratch
>shit ton of colors
>multiple drawings over another
Damn user, you really draw like this
Christopher Perry
5 different layers , 2 of construction, 3 revisions. got lazy with arms. should have do to redraw because not, ful constructed first try, because look at arms and head
but still good yes
Blake Green
i ignore people say chicken scratch because that subjective technique because fuck /IC/ like too stick too hard to draw the fundamentals. get over chicken scratch faggets yest thankyou
Kevin Roberts
you do you, i guess.
William Wood
>muh Loomis is the only correct way to construct a head
>an egg shape is the same thing as a sphere
Charles Williams
eggs are eggs dumb dumb, sphere is beach ball u dumb dumb mutt-tard
Dylan Gray
>draw a circle
>DRAW THE REST OF THE HEAD, NIGGA!!!!!!!!!!!
Gabriel Martin
not going waste time to prove the point
Jonathan Gomez
I don't draw but i do write. Me and my drawing partner are planing to pitch something to a comic book company but i don't have high hope.
Austin Davis
>a comic book company
If the MC isn't a transgender black muslim shemale then you better get ready to beg for pennies
Blake Jenkins
thats not how you do sphere construction.
Jonathan Campbell
Yeah that's what I was fucking saying, you spaz.
Jonathan Martin
yes, it is a blessing and a curse. Drawing is a weird addiction that doesn't feel entirely healthy. Also you kind of need to build a sense of self on drawing, so when you don't draw (or make a bad drawing) it is like your actual ego is being wounded. An interesting profession!
Nathaniel Turner
>3 revisions
You need one final inking layer with confident lines. Save time. There is no reason for 3 revisions. Don't like where the line went? Keep it. Next time put it somewhere else.
Adam Reed
example please
Brayden Morales
I started in sixth grade so I could make lewd comics with my friends. I can make money with the skill when I need to. And that's pretty cool to me.
Hunter Moore
the soft edges between the values in this work very well for this piece. nice job
Jackson Brooks
I started drawing as a kid because I enjoyed comics and cartoons, and wanted to make them myself. I'm only a hobbyist, but I have fun with it and enjoy myself a lot. I make webcomics for fun and it's very fulfilling, so I'd say it went pretty well for me.
Ryder Rodriguez
This is quite the rough process...
Carter Young
haha show first layer >;)
Asher Baker
sketch
cleanup (not pictured)

Noah Flores

Jaxson Diaz
These redlines are incorrect, though. Especially the bottom ones.
Elijah Williams

Joshua Phillips
