Description .... as just trying to describe a form with the smallest amount of lines i can.

After an excellent comment by ~tsukasaxen on my last study, i'm having another go but instead of drawing a few i just want to see if i'm going about this in the right manner.

Any help, c&c's or really, erm... anything is welcome, thanks!

you really need to tell me your secret i exactly looked at least 3 times if it is not drawn traditionally!!! your linework is mind blowing. what program are you using and for how many years do you draw (more than i child draws)

You know what I see improvement on this one, the form and shape is coming along nicely.
Now focus on the accuracy and line weight.

Keep it coming.

Thanks very much! We'll have to see how it goes with it though, as most of it felt like luck. Expect more nastiness! xD

Erm... wow, that's very flattering! I've been drawing and painting now for 40 days and i've been trying to put in at least 2hours a day. The weekends can range up to 12 hours though. I'm using Photoshop CS5 and a Wacom intuos3. I'm finding the hardest part is there seem to be a loooooad of tutorials online about how people have painted their pictures but not so much on where to start and the best structure of learning. This is why my posts are a bit of this and that.

[link] This is a record of all 40 days and if you start right at the beginning, you'll see precisely how i was doing then. A lot of people and friends have stepped in to help though and offer advice on how to get better so i've been very lucky. I've just got to keep pushing!

Thanks Chris, i use the basic hard round brush at 3pixels on a 1920x1080 canvas. The settings are just set so the opacity and size are linked to pen pressure. Everything else is just turned off and i press Ctrl+Z a lot.

A lot!
