Allot of people are always asking me about tips to be a better artist, and to share my thoughts, and I’m all like “fo sho!” As I’m all about contributing and aspiring other people, especially other fellow creatives, as it’s hard out here for an artist. But to be good at anything you need to follow step ONE: keep it real. There allot of people who are like ” I can’t draw anything but a stick man. hehehe!!!” The reason these people can’t draw cool shit like unicorns, naked ladies, flaccid penises, and killer ninjas is they NEVER try. I wasn’t born with special powers to draw flaccid penises…it took allot of practice. Anybody can draw an erect penis, that’s child’s play, but if you want to draw cool shit you must draw yo mother fucking ass off. You’re probably good at playing video games, cus you play your mother fucking ass off. Or you might be chunky, cus you you’re eating you’re fucking ass off…the same principles to apply here. So, don’t complain you can’t do this or that, if you’re not doing this or that till you ass come off.
Here is a picture of me drawing my ass off. You call follow me on tumblr: http://joshuahooper.com as I am too cool to just have one blog, and you can get a peep show into my life. But here is one of many things I’m working on.
Phase 1.Sketch! Sketch! Draw Draw. This is sketch for an event flyer.
Phase 2: I normally like to draw things over and over, cus I’m a protectionist, but the shit hit the fan….so just went straight into a final drawing. BOOM! BOOMB BOOM! I love pressure. I thik I work best under it.
Step 3: Drop it like it’s hot!!
Phase 4: Drop it even Hotter!
