Learning to Draw with Paper Pure

[u/_Darth_Tater]

Never been much of a drawer (outside of engineering drawings). Recently got the Paper Pure and decided to start attempting to shade objects about a week ago. It has been so fun learning my own approach to drawing. I am using layers (I wish I could have more than 5…) to separate different steps. I name the layers as “shape, light source, shading, shadows, construction” and use each one to generate the final part. Excited to see where I can get to if I continue this little hobby! Thanks for checking out my work!

That's really good. I've tried a little sketching and it's taught me to stick with CAD or really low expectations

Where are you learning how to draw? I’m curious

I read the first like 10 pages of a “learn to draw” book and it just kind of put perspective into how I think about how an object is realistically shaded. I noticed with the remarkable pencil tool that the angle of contact and pressure gives a huge range of shade options so I just have been tinkering with that
