Deviation Actions
Hello there,
I wanted to ask something to the other deviants like me, whether core or not
I was told by many teachers that for improving the drawing skill i should only (or mostly) copy, from pages and illustrations by other authors.
Is it really so true, in your opinion?
Personally, i can use some photo reference time by time, but in the most recent times i've been drawing just from my mind, i think it is a good exercise too, that makes you use your photographic memory, this is the way i produced those two sketches, for example:
and this newer one
not even for this one i've used a pose reference at all
I don't know if it is me, but, i found copying too much easy to actually learn something by doing that,
That's why i created a specific folder to put all the photographic portraits in it:
b4ld3r.deviantart.com/gallery/…
So i can let myself get inspired by some images i've seen previously, or by the style of authors i like that could influence me, IMHO this is the best way, but, i'm open to debate on it if you would like to give your advice,
i'd be most thankful ^^

I AM OPEN TO COMMISSIONS
Hi there Da community,
i wanted to communicate that i will do commissions focusing on my main interests and all around.
They include Historical illustration, Fantasy world, Mythology, Videogames, Comics, Literature, portraits, landscapes, erotic (not porn).
I work with different tecniques, from pencils to charcoals, caran d'ache, sanguine, ink, and digital with Photoshop Cs6 as software, and Wacom Intuos Small as graphic tablet.
For traditional art i usually work on A4 format paper, or A3, up to 50x70cm.
I would make reasonable prices depending on the materials used, format and shipping (all obviusly negotiable).
I use Paypal as preferr
A Little venal D.A
Well, once you were able to simply drag and drop your deviatons in the folders also to organize them, now you can just put them between your own favourites (lol why should you?).
Now, it's okay to ADD functions to the core account since there is it, but a little bit less Imho removing some free functions to grant them just for core deviants.
Isn't this a little bit venal for you?
What do you think?
thanks in advance for sharing opinions
The contradictory Deviantart
Seeing the latest censor (and removal) issues i've had for my last deviations, i should warn each feller who is freshly new here,
They say there cant be deviations showing masturbation, while there are a lot of pictures of women fingering themselves, with their genitalia barely covered in a shadow so it's ok for the staff.
They say there cant be erected penises while there are a lot, breaking also the previous rule, because they frequently appear in photos held by a female or male hand
The same goes for sexual intercourses:
One cannot simply post a picture of a penetration, BUT(t) beware! if the dick is all inside.... it's all ok for them
Thank you for your visit, watch my galleries )
Hey there, welcome to my production,
I suggest you to go to the galleries folders, where you can see the rest of my artworks.
Enjoy and comment if you wish, because no one can grow up with just their point of view,
thanks again!
And yes, of course i do commissions!!!!

I would say both is a valuable way to learn.
If you draw by looking at footage you can directly look at how shadows fall, how body parts are correctly positioned and such.
When you draw from your mind you can test your skills and later compare where you need to improve.
