Thanks a lot! That is a really good question as I believe the first mark is the most important, especially if you want to keep the drawing symmetrical without overflowing the edges of the paper. I actually start with a dot in the very center of the paper and work out from there. The first mark for this drawing was the skull and face area.
Interesting, that makes sense. I can see starting from one corner, or edge, or with your favorite element, or whatever. I’d probably start from one corner, get lost in drawing leaves or grass or something, and completely forget what my main thing was before I got there.
I’m a musician, so none of that is a mystery to me, but I find visual arts nearly miraculous.
Awesome, I’m happy to hear that. I love working with musicians on visuals for album art, you guys have such a great gift and the back and forth between lyrics and themes to create visuals is a pleasure.
