This book or a book like it? Books like this aren't a problem for a hobbyist. The author of this one in particular is notoriously bad at drawing though.

I think Michael Hampton is a good start if you're serious about figure drawing. He lays things out pretty clearly for beginners.

as long as that isn't a comic book, they could have just skimped on the artist... remember scholastic is for i think 7th grade and younger... at least that's the last time i got a flyer for their books in school.

jezza is an animator, when he is talking about animation its usually a fuckload more helpful then the drawing shit.

>>2432327
honestly, its not completely fucking horrible, you can see potential of getting better some day, may not gravitate toward realism, but will still get better.

--------------------------------

just for everyone in the thread, that book isn't completely fucking anyone who wants to get better over, the first thing you need to have if you want to art is a critical eye, if you honest to god cant see something is wrong with your art, you will not get better no matter what you learn from.

As someone who used an Intuos 4 Medium since 2009, and just got a 22HD Cintiq Touch, I promise you the Cintiq is a million times better.

Your hand "getting in the way" is not even remotely an issue.
>>
>>2432311

Post work?
>>
>>2432311
I'm not that anon, but it was an issue for me with cintiq. Another annoyng thing was that your hand's movements are 1:1 to how the cursor is moving, so your hand moving much more so it gets a bit tiring and it slows me down comparing to a regular tablet. And paralax is still there which is a bit annoyng. Of course you will get used to it overall, but to be honest for it's price you can buy yourself a nice pc, great monitor and a new Intous. So, it's not worth the money for sure.

I haven't started a single anatomy study.

Anatomy isn't even really the issue, it's a basic proportional rule that the hand is roughly the size of the face, and that the palm makes up roughly half of the hand. C'mon son.

Imo representational is coming back. But the 'art world' has very much spread into a lot of niches, even the fine art world. Representational art is definitely more respected/loved than it was in the 60s and 70s.

What type of markers does /ic/ use/reccomend?
I bought a pretty big set of Prismacolors years ago, but I recently bought a set of greyscale Copics and like how they color and blend. Was thinking of investing in a colored set but was wondering what other comparable alternatives are out there, preferably lower priced but I'm willing to splurge if necessary.
Also, general marker discussion thread I guess.

First time using copics. Was done rather quickly. Can't tell whether or not it's cringe.

Do any of you have a bunch of anatomy tutorial images you can dump? All of mine (900 and counting, references included) instantly got wiped off my phone. Half of it dealt with female anatomy and hip construction.

How do you learn how to do these typical ID sketches with 0 drawing skills?

I am asking because here people seem to be focused on drawing in general and especially on people. But for ID I wouldn't need that. The focus is on geometric shapes and quick drawings with simple shadows and low detail. Pretty much the opposite of what I see people here aspiring to do.

So: how do I start as someone who can't draw straight lines and only shapes from isometric perspective? Is there one book that starts from level 0, expecting no previous drawing skills?

If you study/ied ID: how did you start?
>>

Start by drawing simple shapes like cubes, cones and spheres. Working from life would be best. You can make these shapes out of wood, use common objects, or purchasing them (most toy stores would have basic shape blocks for little kiddies you can use).

Don't be afraid to use a straight edge ruler, a compass, or a french curve (a curved flat tool to use as a guide to draw curved lines) to make your marks since these are supposed to be technical drawings.

Eventually when you become confident with basic shapes, you can graduate to doing studies of everyday mechanical objects around your house.
>>
>>2432465
How exactly do you do studies? Just trying to draw what you see right away or try to construct it out of shapes?
>>
>>2432492
I would really like to know this as well
