- Jaruzel 10y agoThis is fun. My first [awful] attempt... http://www.jaruzel.com/files/Jar-Cat.png http://www.jaruzel.com/files/Jar-Cat.png (Everything I draw comes out on a slant, dunno why...)
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoFor a first attempt, that isn't bad at all :) The slant thing is something that'll correct itself as you practice more. I think it comes from writing - a lot of folks learned to write cursive at a slant (unscientific theory). If you want to speed it along, lightly draw grid lines or try altering the angle of the paper.
- qbrass 10y agoIt's from moving your wrist in an arc around your elbow. Since it's down and to the side, it makes a diagonal as you move it across the paper. Keeping your elbow under your wrist helps.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoThat might be it. I've honestly been doing it so long I no longer pay attention.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoThese are nice - and honestly, if anyone is wanting to learn to draw, a good resource for it. I learned to draw animals and people in a similar manner - this is really good for training the eyes to notice where the mass in a subject is.
