A light pencil will rub out without leaving marks, or a nonphotographic blue or red will eliminate the need for rubbing out at all!
In the drawing
hereu can see the guideline version and the finished pen drawing, although i havent rubbed out any pencil yet-that oughta give ya an idea of the use it can be-particuylarly in anything with spheres, checkout the knobs on his chest!
I know what guideliens are and how they can help
I just personally dont like to use them all the time. Im happy with the way i draw at the moment, and im not striving to be the best and quickest out there. I just do it for fun or to keep my mind busy when i havnt got anything else to do.
This is how ive been doing things for years and im comfortable with it. If i NEED the guidelines i will use them, but if not then i wont.
Im self taught, ive made alot of money out of it so i must be doing something right so why fix it if it aint broke?
Ive never used a blue or red pen either, and i see no point in doing so, because i can eliminate all eraser marks with one click of a mouse if i want to.
Since all my pictures that i finish go through a "post production" phase, things like eraser marks dont take long to get rid of if you arent opposed to using the pc for more than looking at porn.
