>get better at drawing by sketching directly with ink!
Won't you just reinforce bad habits if you never fix the mistakes?

You could argue the opposite - by forcing yourself to draw in pen, you need to draw perfectly (as possible, anyway) on the first go; so it may remove your bad habits if you remain aware of them and try to not do them.

You're both wrong. It teaches you to stop giving a shit and learn by experimenting without trying to make things perfect. /beg/ is full of perfectionists trying to perfect their garbage sketch into a finished drawing.

You're supposed to try and fix the mistakes in your next drawing

Ink or not, most us are ngmi. So just make a decision, and DRAW!

i thought the purpose of drawing directly in ink is to develop line confidence? ie. it forces your brain to commit and stop fucking around.

Pen is a one way journey.

Try drawing like youre Kim Jung Goon with a nice thick pen. Your mistakes will be extremely obvious. Its a good reality check and rewarding, challenging exercise. You'll notice what youre good at and what you suck at

Fixing the mistakes IS a bad habit, anon. As an artist, your focus should be to keep going. You can acknowledge the mistake by not erasing it 1000x and instead trying to draw it again, this time bearing in mind to not make the same mistakes again. Also, not every mistake needs to be “fixed”. If you draw a hand and the fingers are too stubby, just finish the drawing and study finger length afterwardsVery silly thread.

why wouldn't you fix your mistakes? are you brain damaged or smth?
the only difference with this is you'd fix the mistakes by starting the drawing all over again instead of erasing, and in this way yes it's way better for gaining your drawing mileage

no the point is to make strokes count and think ahead how you're going to place them. you just mindlessly placing lines until they look right is a far worse way to learn

It's another instance of something working for me or these 2 youtubers and making a generalization that it therefore must work for everyone.
I consider arguments on this matter worthless, you can make arguments that seem to make sense both for and against.
Unless there's actual data I don't heed to what people say.

No, you won’t be able to erase, which is what really hides mistakes. You’ll see your weakest areas as they are and not continuously revised. Do you not look back at your drawings afterwards?
