Started drawing again for the first time in years. I’ve never been good in drawing from memory, so I decided on this little guy…
Such a precious little fella! <3
Correction: you drew an adorable frog.
Seconding what another commenter said about references being the standard for professional artists. I use sites like pixabay, pexels, and unsplash for royalty-free images. Ideally, if you use other peoples’ photos like that, you combine elements from different photos to make it your own. Or take your own photos/models/create still lives, as you’ve done here.
Nice shading work!
Most people dont draw from memory. References, references, references!
Even professionals will do silly things like take pose shots with cardboard swords or armor or whatever
I like how the texture of the paper matches the texture of the object.
I can’t draw from memory either. I love your frog!
