or just do what you want

or listen to the person who used the scribbling technique their entire life and suddenly hit a brick wall and is struggling very hard to improve because of it

you can't just "do what you want" if you want to be good at something, period, you have to push yourself and sometimes do things you don't want to do

I don't necessarily scribble but i do create from jagged lines. It hasn't affected me negatively at all. Unless you're talking about outright making a hairy mass and drawing a shape from it, i'd point out that its subjective and varies from person to person.

ah but you're wrong

You going to care to elaborate?

You're recommending to him to avoid scribbling and to use long flowing strokes. You are doing this because you've experienced art trouble for practicing it for so long.

I respond with this based on the data i've collected from those two posts. As someone who also uses a "form" of the scribble method, i state that its completely subjective and that its not the same for everyone else. I was also partially questioning you about what type of scribbling you were talking about.

What point am i missing other than you're advising someone based on your own experience to not scribble? Get off your highchair.

You can scribble, yes, it's almost unavoidable in a lot of cases.

Just don't make it look like this.

Of course not. You always lightly erase the whole scribble and go back over it with cleaner lines and clean up the rest with an eraser. Though i'm not sure how easy that is in digital programs exactly :z

I've never really had the issue of icky scribbles. In my roughs in gets a little nutty, but that's pretty much because I never erase on them unless I decide something's outright wrong/needs to be done. Then, of course, in final illustrations there's rarely a need to erase because I'm using a rough underneath it and going as slowly as possible.

quick doodle before I go and jerk off

I think I need to clarify something: he's clearly trying to do lineart with those scribbles, which is what you shouldn't be doing

its one thing if you're just doing a sketch/gestural drawing but if you scribble it in when you're finishing a drawing, like a pencil sketch:



you're going to get this, where the outlines are all way too dark and rough, and the whole thing is hyper contrasted



if you use long flowing strokes you SHOULD be getting an effect like this

(as if it needed to be said: second is not mine)
