How in the hell does he make a skin tone??? Red will get you a lighter red, but wont give you the yellow undertones

From what I can tell theyre basically using hatching with light strokes and tossing in green to desaturate and darken for shadows.

It's not yellow though, look at the pics where the artist's hand is in the shot. It's all about unified color context within the drawing

Is it your hobby? then keep on keeping on..but if you have aspiration of making living, probably wise to recognize that it's not to be.

Innate talent. To not create would be more bothersome for these people, I think.

i used to do art like this. for me it was always kinda soothing just adding line after line or dot after dot and then wham, neat picture.

important to know that Practice will only get you so far, one needs to learn as well; technique, shading, anatomy, form, propotions, etc

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

one does not simply "learn" without practice

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

absolutly, not disputing that. just saying that practicing without learning wont get you far. one can practice the wrong thing.

Theoretical and practical learning go hand in hand.

Then realize you've been practicing wrong, and study. Study study study. Then start practicing all over using proper technique and method.

Especially with one of those pens with the four colours. I’d just be playing with that all day.

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

And by play, you mean try to get two of the colors out at the same time, right?
