Challenge #31 - Shrimp Method
Select an item that you have never drawn before, and attempt Xuu's 'Shrimp Method'.
Share your Before and After drawings.
What is the 'Shrimp Method'?
Xuu's original post detailing all the drawing steps can be found here: How to draw anything: A drawing exercise tutorial thing by Xuu
The basic steps involve:
- Choose an object, plant or animal that you are unfamiliar with, or not accustomed to drawing.
- Attempt to draw it straight from memory. Keep this.
- Research and collect reference images of your item from different angles.
- Trace your reference pics to better understand the structure of your item. Discard these.
- Use selected reference pics to sketch your item from multiple views.
- Attempt once more to draw your item straight from memory.
- Place both memory drawings side by side for comparison.
A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done on Sunday 16th August, 2020.
Happy Drawing, everyone! :)
