日常記錄-應該在速寫本還是紙上繪畫

大家好,我希望你們都在做得很好 我希望你們最近有時間去畫畫 如果你們有畫畫的話 那我希望你們都在做得很好 如果你們有時間去畫畫的話 那我可以和你們交流一下 因為我這禮拜沒有畫畫 我上禮拜創作了最新的研究視頻 在那裡我畫了一些圖 但除此之外 我的一整個禮拜都是在編輯和策劃 我也在整個禮拜都在工作 這也涉及到一種方式 但我不會說在AutoCAD上工作 給我同樣的滿足感 和在紙上畫 用筆 因此,這週末 或是最近的週末 當我上載了這個視頻 我會確保我找到時間坐下來 和你們看到我畫的圖 在螢幕上 這是一個圖 會成為一系列的圖 它們都很相似 我興奮地製作了幾個圖 因為我一直喜歡 有一個系列的作品 有一個堅定的故事 我估計 我會在另一個視頻中 但圖片將基於 濃厚的城市環境 我強調了 圖繪了很多 這些複雜的建築物 融合在一起 這主要給我一個藉口 讓我繼續製作 藝術作品 而不是 小的例子圖 我通常用作 教學的目的 我還在畫這些圖 在A4的筆記本上 這比起筆記本 我通常會用在 圖片上 比較不重要的圖 我猜 有些人可能已經知道 我一直在研究精神 在我製作的研究課中 很多我做的圖 都在我製作的筆記本上 尤其是圖 圍繞精神 我很高興 我做了這個決定 因為 很開心 有這些圖 融合在一起 這些圖 也會繼續有用 當我需要 提醒自己 學校的比例 我就可以 翻轉幾頁 看到我製作的圖 和觀察的圖 我經常會這樣做 我製作的圖 不是全都是 研究精神的目的 但是 我也有很多圖 是在筆記本上 但這些圖 是為了練習 而不是為了展示 我知道有些人可能會想 Dan 如果你是研究精神 那你的圖 不是全都是練習圖嗎? 是的 這是真的 我的筆記本中的圖 主要是觀察的圖 通常是從參考圖 來儲存我所使用的資訊 然後練習 從我的想像中 在筆記本上畫圖 例如 我筆記本上有幾頁 關於學校的精神 這些圖 都很好地展示 我所有的筆記 因為 我希望這些圖 都很精準 每當我需要 重新找到資訊時 我都會回到那些圖 但在那些圖中 是一些複雜的 筆記本 我使用了這些資訊 來練習 從我的想像中 這和 大多數圖 一樣 我會確保 我所有的圖 和學習 因為 它們也可以 有價值 在未來 也很重要 讓我能夠 記錄學習過程 因為這是學習課 影片的目的 是讓我 與你學習 但那是 我使用的筆記本 來練習精神 我打算 把它補充 假設 學習課影片 還在進行中 我不知道 我有沒有 補充過筆記本 我記得 我在創作 這些全頁圖 前一陣子 就開始了 補充筆記本 但 我應該 補充了 大約六頁 然後停止補充 我還有 這本筆記本 其實在這裡 我記得 不久前 我補充了 一個 音樂錄音 這裡有很多 半完成的 藝術作品 這也是 我抱怨的 我會經常 開始新的圖 無論是 筆記本 還是紙 我會把 大約半部分 用來製作 這樣的影片 然後 我不會再 重新製作 和完成 我也沒有 問題製作 只是我會 擔心 我需要 製作什麼 然後 我需要 製作 一張圖 又製作了一張影片 我應該 忘記了 所以 我要開始 新的東西 我心想 我意識到 筆記本 可能不是 適合我 因為 我已經有了 幾個 我沒有補充過的 我製作的圖 他們 看起來 應該 I like to spend hours on each piece and fill the entire page, and I'm not sure if that should be done in a sketchbook. I mean, of course, you can do that. I have done that, but personally, I think that the types of drawings I create, like the one you see on screen, should be drawn separately on its own paper, and then its own piece, right? So then I suppose you have to ask the question, what does belong in a sketchbook? Well, as the name suggests, sketch is probably the types of drawings which don't take days to finish, and a lot of people use sketchbooks to have all of their work in one place. They're also easy to use on the go, and if you have the ability to not be so precious with them, then you are able to really sketch whatever you want in them. And that's another personal issue that I have with sketchbooks. Whilst it can be nice to have all of your work in one place, it's also frustrating when you create a drawing that you're not happy with, and it's sitting there amongst the drawings you were happy with. Whenever I start a new sketchbook, I have a habit of overthinking, and I'm too concerned with making it presentable, especially the first page, because in my mind, I see the sketchbook to be almost like an art book, and if the first page is rubbish, then anything after it will be as well. A lot of people have fear of the first page, because they want to start it well, that they've just got this nice fresh sketchbook which has yet to be drawn in, and so they place too much importance on making it look good, which you'd assume was a good thing, except the issue comes when you get to the next page, and then you think, well,that first page was great, now I have to keep this up. Every page has to be great. And then all of a sudden, you have this sketchbook which becomes more like an art book, and you lose the freedom to draw, without the fear of having to make it look good, which is, I think anyways, the biggest advantage of having a sketchbook. In fact, they should be called shit books, that sounds wrong, but if they were called that, and the purpose of them was to create bad artwork, you wouldn't be under any pressure when drawing in it. Also, I am talking from experience when I say this, it's one of the reasons why I tend to mostly draw on paper, because if I don't like something that I create, I can toss that paper aside and start again. But also, if I do create a drawing that I really like, I then have that separate, and it's its own thing, right? Then I don't have to worry about what I create after it. So, I suppose it's up to you, as the artist, to decide how you want to use a sketchbook, and if you want to use one at all. I've seen some people only using sketchbooks, you know, that those people who aren't concerned with, what's on the previous pages, and can just turn over to a new page, and draw without worry. But, I'm not one of those people, that's why, when I'm practicing, I will draw on some cheap printer paper, then I can put all of that paper in a plastic sleeve, and never have to look at it again. Also, if I'm mostly creating drawings, like the one you see on screen, these need to exist on separate pieces of paper. And as I said earlier, I'm drawing this on some Bristol board, which is, what I find to be, the best surface to work on. It can be expensive, but, I see it as an investment, especially if I'm spending a lot of time, working on an important drawing. Before I discovered this, I used to work on cartridge paper, which was okay, but you'll find that a lot of cartridge paper, has a textured surface, which can be a pain to work on. I mean, now that I've experienced drawing on a smooth surface, when using this Bristol board, I don't think I could ever go back to using cartridge. And that's another drawback with most sketchbooks, the paper that's in them, can sometimes be poorer quality. Of course, you can get the sketchbooks, which are more suited to drawing, and they usually have paper in them, with a higher GSM, which is what you want, if you intend to draw on both sides of the paper. If the paper's quite thin, then you'll find that your pencil work, may be visible on the other side. This is more of an issue, when using different mediums, like pens or watercolor. In addition to the paper weight though, you also need to consider the surface of the paper, because like I said, drawing on a textured surface, isn't as good as drawing on a smooth surface. At least, I don't think so. Don't get me wrong though, sketchbooks are definitely a good solution, for many people. For example, if you travel around a lot, then being able to throw your sketchbook in your bag, and have it there for when you need it, is a big convenience. Sometimes, people can only find the time to draw, when they are on the go, and so having a solid sketchbook to work in, when you're sat on the train, or wherever, is ideal. I mean, I'm lucky to have a space dedicated to drawing, and doing everything that I do these days, because most people don't have that. Before I did, I had to do all of my drawings at the kitchen table, whilst my mum cooked dinner, and I had to always pack my paper and pencils away, and get them out again, every time I wanted to do some drawing, and that in itself can create some resistance. It's like driving to the gym,right? Being in the gym, might not be an issue, but having to get changed, and then drive to the gym, that makes it more of a chore. At least now, whenever I have to do some work, I just have to walk into my office, and everything is how I left it. That's something that I probably shouldn't take for granted. Anyways, this drawing on screen is coming along, and I think in the next audio log, I'll talk more about this series of drawings, that I'm working on. With all that being said, I'm going to end this one here. Also, let me know in the comments, if you prefer to draw in sketchbooks, or on paper, or both, or none. Actually, if you don't draw on paper, or on sketchbooks, what do you draw on? Maybe you like drawing on walls. You might be a graffiti artist, or maybe you like drawing on people, because you're a tattoo artist. I'm assuming if you are any of those things though, you probably also draw on paper, or have a sketchbook. So, let me know. Anyways, thanks for watching. I'll see you in the next one.
