Yes, it really does, makes forms blurry harder to define, and you can't do textures very well with that... And it's harder to get proportions right.
Everyone should try sketching with meaningful lines. Try doing it with a pen or something you can't erase. Draw with confidence.

Chickenscratching is a method of obscuring your flaws to yourself. You tell yourself, "one of these lines is the right one" but it's just a tangled mess. Even if you go clean up later, you'd probably still don't know which is the right line to keep or you wouldn't be drawing like that in the first place.
It's similar to people who feel their sketches look better than their cleaned up/ finished work.
You're just tricking your mind by the ambiguity of the sketch.
Stop being a pussy. Draw confident lines, restate once or twice if needed. You'll be better off in the long run.

>> No.3760606

>>3759803
No it doesn't matter. If you look at Drawn From Life (Disney lessons) the life drawing sketches are really messy because they only care about the gesture. Many artists also have unsteady/scratchy lines when drawing in pencil, Dave Sim off the top of my head.
As long as you know what you're doing and not just drawing sloppily you should be fine.

looks hairy and kills the silhouette. I'm guessing it has something to with composition and how our eyes move through scratchy lines.

>>3759803
I think the primary reason to not chicken scratch during the sketch phase because it makes it harder to see the silhouette and see the drawing properly.
if you clean the lines up and get good results after it's probably fine.

>>3760594
line weight is use to create contrast in area of focus, ex. darker around the face, and you wouldn't want the lines to be dark around the feet and light everywhere else that would draw attention to the feet(unless the picture was about the feet)

>>3760601
But I'd like to add on that obscuring the flaws is just that is just a result of trying to find the right line by sending lines in the general direction until it gets close to the mark like stumbling in the dark until you find a light switch.

Generally if you construct a figure, you can get a clear visualization of anchor points to make a confident line as you can spot a point A, where it starts and a point E, where it end. If necessary make it travel to points B, C and D if say for example of an S curve in one stroke instead of guessing where the next point is.

That isn't chicken scratches.
Chicken scratches derives from chickens scratching around the ground in the hope something turns up.

What Villpu does is deliberately making marks to find the flow of action. He pushes his pencil down to demonstrate his thought process. He knows where to make the marks. Drawing lines that wrap around the form etc. Just in your image alone you see confident lines from the neck, down the spine and around the butt. He isn't guessing. Don't mistake that for "chicken scratching"

3760985

>>3760973
You need to know a point A and point B. and just practice drawing a line connecting the two points.

Take Vilppu's gesture drawing for example. He takes a point, where the left shoulder will be, and takes a second point, the right shoulder and connects it with one line. Or takes a point from the head, takes another point, the belly button and draws a line that curves over the rib cage connecting those two points.

If you ever see an artist wave their pencil back and forth over the paper before drawing a line, they are visualizing the two points they will use to connect that line. A great starting point is to actually draw your construction and pick your points on the forms.

Get yourself a good understanding of line weight and chickenskratch is fine. This shit should be a foundation for where you should be doing the majority of your work. Spending time making sure shit follows perspective/has actual weight in general is more important.

And besides. More drawing more makes you more confident anyways so your lines get smoother the more you draw.

Also, 90%of us are digital anyways so you can hammer out 2-3 under sketches and refine shit more each time.

Vilppu using the same ideas as in the Op, but he's just hammering the flow out with large strokes instead of scribbles. Both can turn out shit linework if you don't know what you're doing and vice-versa. Rapoza is a great example of OP using it well.

While this is the main problem, I don't think chicken scratching is inherently as bad as some people try to claim, its just that the chicken scratch you see is people being bad at it.
You can make a series of smaller lines and still make an overall smooth form, it just takes more control and coordination than beginners have.

And you could say its stupid regardless, but its helpful with smaller forms and on smaller mediums like a mini tablet or phone.

>>3763921
well line weight is the similar if not the same as composition I think, you're using light/darks thick/thin lines to create contrast and draw the eye.

Some use thicker lines for closer things because that gives a sense of depth the same as other objects getting smaller as they recede into space with small outlines. You also want to use thicker or darker lines as the outline for every object, to create depth and separation of everything else, otherwise everything blends together and it can be hard to read. Good line weight, good readability of forms goes along way in making an image look good. If your lines are messy your eye goes towards line discrepancy, that's why you want smooth lines everywhere so your eye doesn't go towards somewhere you don't want it to. Ex. having clean lines everywhere but the leg lines aren't smooth, your eye will go there because it creates contrast between everything else.


I'd say check out other artists with nice line weights and try to understand why they do things/create your own rules based off how they do it.

Line weight can also indicate lighting, and volume, and weight. Example: use thinner lines on lit parts of the body, and heavier lines in the darker areas.

>> No.3764870

>>3759795
There are plenty of reasons - aesthetics, flow, confidence, and visibility. Scratchy lines indicate an artist who lacks confidence in the line they're making, or simply carving out where a line should be, and needs to go back and define the line more legibly. A long, s curve line is pleasing to the eye, and can lead the viewer through the piece. Lines also define edges, and can put a drawing into focus.

Line control and confidence is crucial.

Read what he wrote again. If you're chicken scratching you are avoiding working towards building confidence in your strokes and your forms.

>> No.3767943

>>3767490
To develop confidence, and to focus what you're drawing. If you're just doing exploratory sketches, it's fine. But you should develop a drawing past the "chicken scratch" phase, to develop the form. The more confident you are, the less chicken scratching you'll need to do. Especially cartoonists, they're so familiar with form in that context, they can probably get close to the final line first go, with some adjustment in the final.
Another think to consider is flow. Contour lines, especially on the body, should flow from region to region - it's one of the beginning steps in figure drawing, to see the S curves and implement them into the form, so the parts of the body flow. And, when defining a contour, especially in the body, like on the butt, chicken scratches break up what should be a solid, flowing curve, and it distracts the eye from the curve itself.
A lot of drawing teachers say "Own every line". That's the thinking here. Some people "carve" on paper, trying to find the form, and use chicken scratching to get there. It's common. But it's a bad habit, when you should be training your eye and hand to see curves and contours, not small, random, broken lines - and making decisive, purposeful lines.
Make sense?
It's especially important in gesture - gesture is hard, if not impossible to capture with small, indecisive lines - which a lot of beginning students do, and the teacher (if they're any good), will break them of that habit and use long, flowing, expressive lines instead.

It's not about an uppity obsession with each line and you know it. Scratchy and scribbled lines are symptomatic of having no confidence in how to depict something accurately because hatching to show tone, texture and form requires that you actually follow the contour of something to make it look like what you're trying to draw and you can't do that if you just make wanton marks.

>It's not about an uppity obsession with each line and you know it
I think it can be. And I think for a lot of people the idea that you need to really put a lot of thought before you start drawing lines probably just leads to them not drawing anything. Put a line, if doesn't look right, put another dang line easy peasy.
>Scratchy and scribbled lines are symptomatic of having no confidence in how to depict something accurately
maybe. What if your art is supposed to be anxious or uncertain looking tho. And I guess I do differentiate between like the kind of shit in the op and muh scratch attak stuff I've been doing. Like >>3763011 doesn't scream "no confidence in how to depict something accurately" necessarily. It's just a lot of shit.

plus I'd argue that having a few false start lines and scratchy lines can maybe illustrate or demonstrate or suggest movement.

The point is to work at improving your line work and eventually get to a point where you don't have to think about making confident marks. It's about excelling in the basics so you can better depict something rather than getting lost in the weeds worrying about smaller things along the way.

Except a lot of what you posted reads really flat and that does scream a lack of confidence in what you're trying to do from a technical perspective, everyone else can see that too. Go ahead and disregard everything though trying to act quirky and cool but ignoring draughtsmanship and building muscle memory to make better marks and knowing where to place them is only gonna making things unnecessarily tougher for you when it really doesn't need to be and hampers your work in the eyes of your audience.

yeah but the line work I've been working on has been about trying to turn chicken scratching and chaotic hatching into it's own aesthetic. Not an issue of "confidence" necessarily. Just impulsiveness and not erasing.
>It's about excelling in the basics
hatching and scratching is kind of a basic tho.
>Except a lot of what you posted reads really flat and that does scream a lack of confidence
yeah but that's a thing to think about regardless of technique. If you're shading gradients and blending and using single lines that's still something you deal with. Like on >>3763011 a lot of the face looks flat because I got bored and never bothered scratching up some shade on the left side of her face. Spent all muh better effort on the tiddies. feel like >>3767092 looks flat because I phoned in the shirt and chest, but the seperation between the chin and neck was ok. >>3778095 would need like 30 more minutes of detailing and shadowing and stuff and and it'd look much more 3d and constructed. It's always just a matter of work.

>Go ahead and disregard everything
I literally never do that.
>trying to act quirky and cool
we're talking about goofy sketches for fun. Why so serious?
>and building muscle memory to make better marks and knowing where to place them is only gonna making things unnecessarily tougher for you when it really doesn't need to be and hampers your work in the eyes of your audience.
I mean the whole reason I'd say people should embrace trying scratch hatching is that you're training your muscle memory what it feels like when you every kind of line. Good and bad. Practically learn why not to do things by getting burned by doing them. Like if you tell a kid not to eat hotsauce and they don't, they'll just take it for granted. If they eat it tho, they learn a lesson.

Literally making 20 different lines because you don't know which one is correct and have the viewer's brain interpret it and choose the best one.
If you were forced to clean this up, it'd look like even worse dogshit cause you don't know which line is right. Your flaws and deficiencies are revealed when you remove the smoke and mirrors.

Eh things that I would do next on >>3778683
would be some eraser highlights on the right arm, redo the thumb. do some junk on the left hand. Then if I really wanted to make it autistic I'd go ahead and do a full blown scratch attack on all the skin. Plus it needs set dressing and herwhole bag/tent/poncho thing needs to be figured out. And what are you talking about having to choose which line, particularly on >>3778683 . Most of that one the framing and proportions and stuff was figured out on the first or second try. The arm holding out food that transformed into a teddy bear being thrown being held out that transformed into a teddy bear being ready to throw was the main aurtism on that one.

Like once you start hatching and scratching you're pretty married to it. Other than if I wanted to scan and edit that way but that seems like a hassle. You just keep stacking.

All art is magic. In that it's people doing every possible cheat and manipulation possible to trick dipshits into thinking they're special.

been having fun on that bullshit all night. Saw how Yoji Shinkawa sneaks grids into his paintings, but then pretty much made bad calls on all the grid decisions. Like I went with a vertical line at 4 because it was next to the next I was looking at at the time, but had I gone with a vertical line on 5 it would have been her whole center of gravity going up. And then I a horizontal at 3down it should havebeen at 2 down.

And then I kept changing the expression I wanted like 5 times. Changed the angle of the torso a bunch. Changed the size of the ditties.What the arms were doing etc.

One I figure out the do the head and arms I'm gonsta stackon clothes, armor, etc. Then I'm going to burn it probaby

learn how to draw noses m8. Learn how to draw eyes. Learn how not to make everyone look like a fucking mongoloid. I normally don't say this because it doesn't matter, but I'm better than you.
