Sorry if I do

Anyways, here is a first try at me drawing discord.... in a realistic way lol

First time

It sucks, I guess.... I don't know.

Anyways, what do you think? :3

Eeeeeeehh-its not that bad. Trust me I've seen a lot worse... some of which belonging to me. Just keep at it and you'd eventually see some form of progress.

It's a great start! One important skill is being able to look at the picture and identify the things that are 'wrong' about it, then fix them. For most people, drawing is an iterative process. That is to say, you draw part of something, erase it, draw it again until you have it right. Three tips, which you may already know (especially if you're taking art in school) but just in case...

 

1. Throw out your rubber erasers. Y'know, those pink blocks, or the ones on the end of your HB pencil. They suck. Invest in a kneaded eraser. It won't chew up the paper as much and it won't leave bits of itself behind.

2. Throw out your HB pencils. I mostly used 2B pencils when I was an art student. If you can afford it, buy a set and see what works best for you. Generally you want pencils that are softer than HB for this kind of drawing. You can get much softer than 2B but that was the sweet spot for me and I rarely used anything else.

3. Use a light touch, that way you can make changes using your fancy kneaded eraser without leaving lines behind. Once you like your shapes, you can darken them up, add some variation to the line width and that good stuff.

 

Okay: bonus tip! Be patient! Don't be in a hurry to finish your picture! That was my problem and my work would've been much better if I had taken my time and not said "well, that's good enough."

 

Keep it up!

I like his eyes?

If i had to give you a critic even as a simple drawing he looks to orderly.  I mean it is discord.

 

Draw him a little disheveled.
