You will never learn to ink, if you don't start inking. Don't worry if you mess up, you got lots of drawings. Even if you mess up every single one, you will learn a lot from it and the next bunch of drawings will be better. I belive in you anon, go ink those drawings right now!

Yeah I tend to like the look of underdrawings and become hesitant to ink them but the inking process is very fun even if it transforms it into a different picture and my pencil rendering is better than what I can do in inks.

I got over it by copying other peoples drawings so they were effectively worthless as I'd never show stolen/copied art to anyone else or post it anywhere so if I fucked it up it didn't matter

>caring about the end product, ever
>making it

You can pick one, and only one. If you want to make it you need to fully understand and truly embrace the fact that the real value of anything you do is in your head. Not the thing you created. Think about it, once you're a master with 25k hours of deliberate study and practice you'll be able to crank out art that will make people marvel and go 'wow that's incredible how does he do it?'... and it'll be effortless to you. Because the real value is in your skill, and that's only inside your brain. Nobody can take that from you. That is the beauty of art, and why it's a skill of true worth.

You need to stop caring about
- muh showcase sketchbook
- muh pic for instagram
- muh gold nugget pencil drawing

And acquire 25k hours of deliberate practice and study. Throw away your sketches, they're worthless.

comic artists copy them to ink them with blue ink. do that i dunno.

Art to the artist has but the value they assign to it. Is that really something you can strawman?

>> No.4165049

Jeez it's not like they are precious

He meant they scan the sketches and print them in light blue color, so when they ink them only the inks get scanned

>> No.4165059

>>4164807
why worry about ruining them?
you could always take a picture if you want to keep them. but in the end, you're going to draw some better in the future so why worry? i'd burn all my drawings right now and it wouldn't matter.

Actually don't throw away your sketches. If you ever make it, they'll serve as a valuable resource for teaching others.

>> No.4165073

>>4165063
Not only that. You also get a raw sense of satisfaction if you compare your old sketches with your recent ones.

buy a lightbox, it will go a very long way
meanwhile tape the drawings to a window and tape the other sheet over them
you can trace in pencil and then ink that drawing

>> No.4165112

I used to do that all the time lmao. Not to get a copy of a drawing, but for different stuff. For example if i want to make a drawing that is symmetrical, i'll draw one half and then copy it from both sides. Or sometimes i make a drawing, then realize it's too small for my tastes. So i scan it, print it bigger, then trace it. I have a special plastic transparent box that i use, much more comfortable than drawing on a window.
