>>7960377thank you so much! this ship is actually big enough to have a small docking bay, so i drew a little phantom to scale to fit in there. the phantom is 15 centimeters wider than it canonically is, though, because i had to align it with the center.

>>7960427There's a lot wrong but the biggest issue is the faces. The easiest way to quickly boost appeal will be to fix those up. Here's a quick little edit to get the point across but you need to work on facial balance and getting the parts in the right spots.Also give Shiina a penis.

ew
anyone wanna post the real challenge and not the sharty one? now I get why it was deleted
Thread already ruined, must be a new record.
Is copying bridgman really that great? I wanted to draw some awesome cool anime stuff.
>>7960442>>7960443>>7960445>>7960448>>7960458Thanks a lot dawgs. I'll probably start grinding heads at different angle for a bit then. >>7960449I had a twitter account a year or so ago but it was just for black souls fanart; for anime girls i just post them randomly on 4chan from time to time.>>7960474Wukong anon? Since when do you draw titties?
>>7960472How?
>>7960487If you want to draw anime then just start drawing anime immediately. Honestly that applies to everything in life, not just drawing. If you want to do X then you have to do X, don’t waste time doing Y because you think it’ll prepare you for X.
>>7960487If you want to learn how to draw then yeah. You dont study the artist you like, you study their their masters, which leads back to bridgeman. Once you get to /int/ then you study artists you like. A bad foundation will always show though your art. Bridgeman is that foundation.
Those women would rip your face off if you ever tried to take away their jobs by saving them from le evil le industry btw.
>>7960428Wow. Drew me with cannon height n belly size. Incredible. Btw. My new discord is lagunamarina_ . You should add me. I'm gonna draw now . I just got back from therapy. N shopping. I like blogposting.
>>7960487his drawings are fun to copy and there are a lot of ideas in thembut >>7960501 also makes a good point, don't wait for permission to make what you want
>>7960511>>7960501That's a really bad point. Almost if you retards actually think that anime has no anatomy. What a fucking moronic reply. Actual normalfieg tier of stupidity, why are you even trying to draw? you are ngmi ever, fucking ever.
>>7960502what if the porn is Doujins and 18+ Audios
i wish i could find a way to make myself draw from ref more. its just not fun to me and i suck at self-discipline
/int/ thread challenge. No more realism, we are pumping up the difficulty.
>>7960518You will never learn to draw anyways, you can't even tell stylisation from a cartoon. Hey can you tell me the age of that character? I'm le scared if it's le 17 years old, sorry i'm a fucking loser with no critical thinking whatsoever. KEK
i need to practice anatomy and perspective...still i like this drawing somewhat
>>7960526>still i like this drawing somewhatThat's the most important part, because it will keep you going in the long runCute angel
>>7960526learn how to 3D if you don't want to study anatomy.
>>7960513pyw
>>7960447deersis...
where's the real thread challenge
>>7960529Actually the most important thing is that you hate your own work and you remain perpetually dissatisfied with it so you have the drive to improve.Once you get complacent it’s all over.Taste is the one thing you can’t really teach. It’s what separates the hopeful from the hopeless. If you have that internal detector that tells you “no, this is no good” then there’s at least a chance you might eventually correct yourself and produce something worthwhile. But if you turn that detector off and you start thinking “yeah, this looks fine” then you’re done for.
>>7960488pretty recently, started practicing them a bit ago bc i want shogun to haver hentai tier tits for the shits n giggles lovely girl btw>>7960522nice :3
>>7960488>for anime girls i just post them randomly on 4chan from time to timeI think it would be nice to post them somewhere to be able to see you improve over time. Also one eye is higher than the other there.
>>7960556i try to not be super critical of my work because im still a beginner but i can definitely tell that theres plenty of room for improvement (im >>7960526 ) and i try to identify my mistakes and correct them. i stopped making all art almost completely for a few years because i was too critical of whatever i made and always hating the outcome just discouraged me and that combined with some other factors sucked every bit of motivation out of me.i dont wanna permabeg myself but i would quit again if i didnt allow myself to be a little bad at it
How do you feel about the colours? What would you change?
>>7960345I'm just busy>>7960428Holy mother of perspective master God kino>>7960571Mess around with saturation I think
>>7960526i like her :> u should practice more and u will just get better by studying anatomy and finding an artstyle for u
>>7960571>How do you feel about the colours?Try adding more colours perchance? it reads like a flat render, really small eyeball and really big eyeball

I'm realizing that I don't remember how to render spheres even after the whole drawing spheres debacle I had here ages ago. Maybe time to put some circles in random pictures n follow what Marco polo says again. >>7960597It's been all I draw lately cuz I'm trying to actually study for once. I like that "certain purple girl" very dynamic

>>7960669Then you know i'm absolutely right but more importantly, why are you still in the /beg//int/ thread. Time to give up no?
>>7960667>jealous /beg/ tells more skilled artists to leave
>>7960672Big reveal, mr. Retard, I'm NTA.Now, post your work.
>>7960673posting on 4chan =/= drawing now let me rub my sweaty balls on your tender lips and put them in your mouth babygirl... i love you .......
>tfw my work isn't even worth posting hereI'm a lost cause . I can't have fun drawing because I know it looks awful, and my studies are fruitless because I can't learn anything. I hate this hobby
I know that from here I get better doing more studies, but my problem is completely a work flow issue.This was three one hour sessions and at a certain point I just gave up and fucked up my layer management so bad I had to just merge it and wrap it up. I used various references (the light was not consistent in each one), but my work flow is genuinely so fucking bad and I'm comping back from a long dry spell of and have completely forgotten my techniques. I used to be able to value paint male bodies very fast, I could do a whole upper torso in a rough value paint in a few minutes. I don't draw a lot of females. The sharpness of a low body fat male is just easier IMO. I coped by just making everything very soft.Can you guys explain your workflows? Like I'm very aware that all I need to do is more studies but I'm pretty much winging painting, cause sketching was easy I just used two default brushes and two easer brushes, that was it, but now I have to deal with a lot more bullshit. The worst part is trying repair something I basically cannot.
>>7960685We know, Hatkidcuck.
>>7960689That's not me. But keep fighting imaginary friends in your head.
>>7960526its cute reminds me of haibane renmeihere some zombi
I lose interest when I don't draw girls.
>>7960692paigeian
what, spend two more years fumbling my art so that I can POTENTIALLY become half as good as the other guy? Fuck this.
>>7960688I keep a pretty simple setup: have one flat color layer per material, 2 clipping layer on top of each (one for shadow, another for light), and then a layer on top of everything for details, highlights, etc
>>7960698>treating drawing as a competitive sport
>>7960702it does matter to me how I'm perceived. If I don't improve I'm a failure. I want my art to look good for the game I want to make.I dont want to be a wageslave
>>7960703With that mindset you might as well forget about making anything
>>7960707A revolutionary pixel art metroidvania. It's gonna flip the industry on its head.
>>7960707hentai game>>7960705im sorry, everything just feels so hopeless. im slow at learning and even slower at drawing. i cant stop taking over 4 hours for ONE body sketch and its awful
>>7960712Post the 4 hour sketch
>>7960713ok, so according to krita i only "Edited" this for an hour. https://litter.catbox.moe/90mpbktgo8mq4h91.PNG
>>7960712Four hours isn’t too bad for a sketch if you are redrawing something several times to make it better. I think it gets faster as you improve.
How do I fix Krita constantly lagging when I hold my pen down, change brushes or zoom in and out? I've tried changing to low canvas and it still keeps stuttering.
>>7960428How do people even reach this level?
>>7960719>ok, so according to krita i only "Edited" this for an hour.Well then you did. And it's perfectly fine for an hour
>>7960724have you tried allocating more memory?are you using windows 11? (big L very embarrassing)
>>7960723Whoa great hands, figs too. Mind sharing the brush? Looks like something up my alley
>>7960729I'm on linux mint
>>7960731Thanks. The brush is just the free charcoal brush from Ctrlpaint.
>>7960734Maybe I'm blind but I don't see it, these are all I found on the website and none of them is it
>>7960744It's been over a decade so maybe I'm wrong, it could also be in one of his paid courses but I don't remember. If you have an throw away email or discord I can just give you the brush set.
>>7960723I really like ur stuff it made me switch brushes when I was doing digital to smth more similar to urs. >>7960744I remember that on csp I used a round brush n it was similar enough
>>7960749Hey yeah, I'd appreciate it. kamerkowicz@proton.me
why not just upload it here
>>7960749Cheers
any glaring issues with this? :D
>>7960719Pretty bad for an hour considering this is completely formless.
Thinking about trying to get a vgen code from the weekly reply thing but I’m scared
>>7960760arms too short
Check out these HANDS. Didn't get a chance to post them last night because of the image limit. EERIE!It's one thing when it doesn't look so good after comparing it to the reference photo. But when I take away the reference photo, the drawing looks like a hand, and I can feel proud that i drew that. Having something actually resemble a hand is progress.
>>7960767Take a look at theeeeeese haaands
>>7960766i really dont see it. if her arms weren't folded they'd end around her crotch, which is abt right no?
>>7960342Do you draw your poses from imagination or do you use reference? Great stuff either way
>>7960779>>7960766Legs look too long in comparison to the arms. My opinion. Perhaps this is a stylistic choice.
>>7960783fair enough!! i think it looks fine as is (mostly cus lengthening the arms is a hassle), but i do appreciate the opinion :D
>>7960670
>>7960786I'm drawing right now though
How are you supposed to suppress the urge to masturbate when figure drawing?
You have no idea how much I'm going to draw later. you're gonna look so dumb when i do hah
>>7960794Don't. Transmute that energy in raw creative output.
nobody is giving me attention
>>7960763how do you propose improving
>>7960799
>>7960799Hi
I'm so lazy n tired and fat.. I can't even copy.. >>7960799Same
>>7960764If you do get a code, can you give me a code too? Here's my work in case you're interested....
Guys where's my vgen code look at this masterpiece I did it took me 300 hour
>>7960828Cute!
>>7960828me on the left >:p
I'm only interested in giving vgen codes to people who are worse than me. I don't want you eating into my commissions.
>>7960831People reply to this but not my funny adachi circle guide.. I really thought I was doing something there..>>7960833R u hot can we edate
>>7960828me on the left
>>7960836can you show me the adachi? I love adachi
>>7960838Yes. Yes quite literally.
>>7960841sovl
>>7960839>>7960590Look to the rightI just did his stock ass portrait from imagination but now I wanna draw him more serious. Maybe like a little comic of him teaching you how 2 draw and then saying something schizo at the end.>>7960841It looks awesome but it feels like the legs r off. Idk anything though. Cool style
>>7960844I'm this retard:>>7960719adachi is my inspiration and I would love to see that made.
>>7960841Unbelievably cute. Looks a little flat, perhaps the chest and torso are too frontward-facing? I don't know anything either, good luck
>>7960844AHAHAHAHAHAA. I literally laughed out loud. I never actually played persona 4 but I know a little about the guy from the memes You're funny :D
>>7960846You drew the femboy from Danganronpa 1 I see. I'll try to put the adachi comic in the backlog hopefully I do it tomorrow but I'm gonna be busy cleaning probably. Also saying that adachi is your inspiration is problematic >>7960850Everyone says that.. they think I'm a little jester.. little clown for their entertainment..
>>7960853That’s because you are
>>7960794This girl is a literal 10 out of 10. No tattoos, just the right amount of fat and muscle, long thick hair, beautiful face. She's like some Greek Goddess blessing us with top tier poses.
>>7960854I know.. I'll go cry myself to sleep now n stop spamming the thread.
>>7960855shoulders too broad
I drew a minesweeper.
>>7960873Work on how you draw pant wrinkles. Jse references. It'll help immensely!
>>7960855I really, really, REALLY love her breasts. And I'm not into women. But god damn I wanna sniff em.
>>7960787But do you understand the reasoning behind the shapes you're using? I feel you might not, and are just copying what someone else has done without applying a "why".
>>7960701By material do you mean like hair vs flesh? Because they'll interact with light differently and have different textures right?I think you're right I need to keep real simple layers, I'll do some kind of post op on my most recent painting and try to simplify my workflow.
>>7960873Corrupt mind corrupts the body
>>7960640tfw unnamed.Also, Deer still posts. It's just become rarer.here:>>7960665
>>7960882And who are you? link to post/work?
>>7960665>>7960575I used to like your work...... but now it seems I hate it.
>>7960855You havnt seen her face...
>>7960887Her stuff got wonkier, mainly facial feature placements.
>>7960890That's Carlotta, her face is perfect.
>>7960893Yeah, then again, its ink/pen so.
>>7960882Deer is too busy sending me feetpics in exchange for Throne lingerie.
Deer will you use a buttplug if I buy you one?
>>7960874yeh sometimes I just freeball it and it turns out poorly
>>7960887>>7960893Is it not working? I thought it was visually interesting, is the appeal too low for it to it work? Also she's meant to be an orc but I didn't define that enough I guess for her in particular. What's the better ratio of facial features? More like this? an example would be helpfulI was trying to be more creative and draw less "beautiful people" but if it's failing I'd like to know what I can do to improve it
>>7960902idk about them but your work's pretty neat. Pick and choose your audience I guess
>>7960902>>7960887>>7960893I was specifically criticized by someone for drawing faces that were too "pretty" and was trying to widen my horizons a bit but if it's not working then it's not working and has to change If someone has an example saved of a face of mine they liked (it's a stretch to ask for this, I know) please post >>7960903Thanks, I want to be interesting but I don't want to lose all appeal in the quest to be interesting so critique regarding appeal is helpful>>7960882I haven't been drawing much because I've been busy yeah so there's just nothing to post
>>7960902When I meant wonky I meant things like alignment of features and perspective. For example, the orc girl's mouth is unnaturally crooked for such a neutral expression and her browline on the camera right eye doesn't really make sense. It's kind of like you draw the right thing in isolation (eye, nose, mouth) but put together it's like you're playing pin the tail on the donkey while drunkI'm not sure if any of this is intentional or not. If not, mirror your canvas by taking a pic with your phone and flipping every so often.
>>7960906Oh yeah the right eye was totally fucked because of a wrong pen move and I just shaded it out and said fuck itI think what's going on is I'm trying to be more ambitious with angles instead of drawing on a flat surface but there's a learning curve so things are distorting and focusing on visual interest over accuracy when doing that is going to fuck itI think I need to put a pencil sketch under and flip it before I draw in with inkRegarding the mouth that was just an epic failThe flipping thing is really good advice I think I need to actually do a sketch, flip it then check before inking. I keep heading straight into using a pen with only loose pencil underneath at most
Hey, do you know any good guides for actually learning clip studio paint? I've basically only used the g-pen and fill tools so far, and now I'm trying to color detailed pupils, but I'm completely stuck
>>7960910also another observation is some of this problem is coming from (not drawing for several weeks) but also scale. I tried flipping my smaller drawings that are my typical scale and the features/perspective are coming out more accurate, which means I'm struggling to see at a greater scale because I'm focusing too much feature by feature. I think the only way to fix this is just to try drawing larger so I get used to it. Even a drawing that is bad/I didn't post because it was bad seems to have more visual accuracy than the larger drawings, I guess because I haven't drawn large in a year? (ex. is what I didn't post because it's bad, but after flipping it I've realized it's still better than whatever the fuck happened with the orc, flipping that was insane, holy fuck. like unimaginably worse than I could have imagined)
>>7960916Well the problem with direct inking is that you need to do all of the construction, gesture, and guidelines in your head if you don't want the drawing to look messy. A light pencil undersketch will undoubtedly help your accuracy, but you'll likely end up losing expressiveness and gesture especially if you get too caught up in tracing your sketch carefully. Finding a balance between structure and expression is hard.
>>7960918yeah I've always put structure on the back burner because I can't stand stiff art (personal preference, no hate to anyone, it's just not my cup of tea, even if it's by a professional artist if I perceive it as stiff I can't appreciate it) and tried to be as loose as I can because if something is stiff I can't tolerate it, which is why my sketches are so loose. do you think the only way to find the middle ground is just trial and error? sorry for asking so many questions, I don't get helpful critique often so I'm trying to absorb as much of it as I can. I think that if I at least make sure there's a midline? features would have more alignment, and my theory on how to find a midline would just have to be studies. because to me it looks like a lot of what's going on is features are falling away from the middle of the head and not following the midline at all, so they're all spaced on different parts of the orc. like the mouth, brow eye.
>>7960922Experimentation is the solution for everything in this hobby.A simple ball and crosshair might be all you need for heads to place your features right without needing to murder your gesture, but it wouldn't hurt to experiment with heavier construction-based techniques. You can choose what techniques you want to keep and when to use them, you don't need to follow a rigid framework.
>>7960923alright. im thinking maybe I should try the Loomis ball + cross and maybe some more complicated Loomis heads just to see. usually if I do a pencil sketch it's just a shape outline and there's no midline but there was a point when I was trying to utilize more Loomis and I think I should go back to that (at the time it was failing me because it wasn't what I needed then, so I stopped)I need to be less afraid of trying things like you said, maybe try a few different techniques for constructing heads and see what is most helpful without ruining the flow. I'm super gesture heavy in what I care about so trying construction on heads can be pretty intimidating but it's worth it in the long run, I guess. Thanks.
I can already see flaws. Am I supposed to just restart?I spent almost 2 hours just getting this far and im feeling mentally fatigued already
>>7960870You need to work on your grid craft skills.
>>7960927ur eraser tool sire???
>>7960694
>>7960926Thank you for finishing it <3She is so cute. I love your style, the way you draw faces and the way you color.
>>7960927You'll be constantly correcting your drawing so just try to fix it
>>7960927>im feeling mentally fatigued alreadythat's good, once it starts feeling easy it's time to lower the grid resolution
>>7960566I could make some social i guess but then i start caring too much about the likes and i get annoyed.>One eye higherDamn. It looks wonky af. I guess i am faceblind holy.
>>7960417thanksI notice that green hues tend to mess my sense of value, I needed to switch between grayscale and color way too much
another quick drawing>>7960927it's that Char's sister
>>7960958Green is easily the most difficult hue to work with since getting it wrong will make your painting look like radioactive sludge or some form of barf-shit-snot.
>>7960571
>>7960962lol of course her breasts are intact
>>7960922Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh now I see what you're doing wrong.
>>7960928pyw
>>7960962So fucking kino
what do you do after quitting drawing, but a part of you wants to return to the torture
Where the fuck are my (You)s you fags!
>>7960984You have to post a drawing first
>>7960984You suck so no. Grind more Loomis.
fans always fuck me up, does anyone have any suggestion to fix the hand and the fan?
Warmup figs. Recently got a job, no idea when I'm going to make time for drawing. Now I'm never going to be a namefag.... How do you handle the balance?
>>7960338Today’s perspective practice
>>7961002gotta draw fast, never finish your shit, give any excuse like "it's just muh style bruh", spam your shit, in two threads you will get your faggin' name
>>7960962Cool, I did it like this
>>7960962>>7961011Also out of curiosity, what tools did you use? I want to try to recreate it if that's ok
>>7960997use ref
Could you guys help me out with the arms? This is like the third time I've drawn this pose and I still can't get them right.
>>7961022didnt find one, i dont have a fan to make one myself
how the HECK do i plan out nice backgrounds or scenes bruhs
>>7961013I just use Photoshop. Simply using a basic hard round and soft round to paint over your shapes after separating the ground, girl and background.
Guys how is this :3
>>7960782Some are from imagination, sometimes I use reference like >>7960356
>>7961026part of the reason this looks awkward is because it's very strange to place your arms so that the triceps faces straight forwardthe natural movement of the arms is for the elbow to swing outward, so that both the biceps and triceps are visiblealso the angle is way to high to be natural / comfortabletry the pose yourself and you'll notice this
>>7961038I'd say your colors look crisp but your linework needs improvement. They feel stiff which in turns makes the entire composition feel wooden. I know it can be uncomfortable for some folks but try to rely more on the movement of your forearm(from your elbow) rather than just your wrist when you work on your lines, its similar to how whenever you use the selection tool to isolate an area you want to fill/paint, in the long run is better to just free hand it with the lasso tool and go over all the curves and bends and straight lines that way, I've found its a great exercise for developing dexterity. Perhaps also work some more on anatomy and textile physics, with a special emphasis on folds/drapery, other than that its a solid attempt, hope that helps somewhat, WAGMI bro.
Im a beg that wants to learn how to draw in an anime style.Should I just copy anime from my favorite artists and learn the fundies later or do I have to do the fundies first. I am planning to do some michael hampton and bridgman first, before I get to the anime stuff.
>>7961057copy anime gurlz while studying fundiesyou can apply fundies like gesture, boxes and basic anatomy while doing both
>>7961057do both, like /asg/'s senseihttps://www.artstation.com/artwork/XB31Bwhttps://www.artstation.com/artwork/oOJrBB

>>7960467very cute eyes and bodily expression!>>7960592Older raster graphics?>>7960519Feels pleasantly familiar, I like! Froag>>7960665Awesome... I would love to see Dio Brando in this style....or the other Dio.
>>7961074nta Areola are way too small for tits that large bro
>>7961074My man you've saved the day. Thank you very much!On a different note, how'd you get so good at perspective (with the human form)? I feel like that's one of my weakest points. Any kind of book or video you'd recommend?
>>7961081True. I don't draw women of this size or bodytype because it doesn't appeal to me. You can simply resize them to your preference and it should be fine.
>>7961084Hi megasch_/megaethernal.I like Loomis and Krenz personally. These were a good start and I always keep coming back to their methods one way or the other.One tip I can give you is to always check for at least 3 parallel lines on the body to get the "vibe" of the perspectives in addition to checking any rectangular structures and seeing where they converge. This in combination with drawing the body from extreme angles regularly, thinking of cross contours can help you greatly. Proportions will always be a bitch, though so unless I'm doing quick redlines like this one I always try to check using 3D models, photography etc. Good luck on your illustration mentorship btw.
>>7961091nta but by loomis do you mean figure drawing for all it's worth?
>>7961093By Loomis, I actually mean all of his books. His books actually serve different purposes.Fun with a pencil shows you the basics of perspective and figures together, and even projecting floor plans and cast shadows.Creative Illustration shows you how to compose your thumbnail plans based on flow lines and values.Figure Drawing For All it's Worth shows you the anatomy, planes and general construction both for the head and figure. If it's good enough for Hide, Krenz and Murata then it's good enough for me.I like Anatomy for Sculptors for a more specific deep dive on anatomical forms but Loomis and specifically Krenz is more than enough for the overall mannequin, which is 90 percent of what makes a successful figure anyways. If anime is more your thing Krenz basically repackages pages straight from Loomis, so doing both would help anyone I think.
I cannot grind Loomis or Drawabox. My brain fundamentally does not give me the dopamine required to do so. I cannot ever ever EVER self-motivate without externalizing all of the rewards. This is why I've never been able to grind it. My ADHD makes it fundamentally impossible. No matter what meds I'm on, no matter how good I feel.
>>7961091Gotcha. Yeah I don't ever do parallel lines and I only do cross contours sparingly, so maybe I should get into the habit of using those more. Also, do I follow you on social media already? I can't remember if you ever posted your profiles. And thanks!
>>7961075>Awesome... I would love to see Dio Brando in this style.>...or the other Dionta but what about this 'Dio(s)
ughhh just realized the I isn't in subscript kms in a fuck retar

>>7961106are you using ref?you can start by copying in grayscale, makes it easier to understand the value range of each material
>>7961033Try thumbnailing first if not already doing so. At a small scale, it can be easier to see what general shapes fill up the frame the most appealing way. Try to simplify into the biggest general shapes you can inside the frame. Attached might be a bit too busy to be a good example, but hope the idea comes across
Currently trying to do a Loomis head.
>>7961110Yes, was using ref mostly for the fence to the right, but probably wasn't looking closely enough. Greyscaling is a good idea, thanks

head is completely fucked but I don't have time tonight to draw it again
>>7960345>tfw I'm not on the listDunno whether that's good or bad. Am I that unremarkable?
>>7961171shit fuck I forgot to resize the image
>>7960354I really like this. The palette, the background with the petals, the hair layers, the boob squish, the hands, pretty good. I like the way they're holding each other.Some parts could be better, though. The shading is pillowy and I'm not sure where the light source is, and I don't really like how you did the crotches, but that might be a preference thing. Right girl's butt outline and asshole are a bit off, and I really don't like using hard lines to separate the inner thigh and crotch. The red pussy holes are knda crass too desu, drags the piece down a bit for me. I kinda can't tell whether you drew the vagina too high, or their hips are turned upward, remember that the pussy is on the underside, not the front.

>>7961176
>>7961109nice take on it peril, pretty face too
>>7960476>>7960477just because you jacked off to it doesnt make it a good reference
>>7960794>>7960855>>7960875Here's a thread challenge for you then.
Hey, what's a good way of practicing line art digitally? It's so much harder than on pencil. I spent nearly 2 hrs on this shitty unfinished drawing of Historia, and nearly all of that time was spent trying to get the shape of her head right (which I fucked up and will need to redraw). Shit looks so ass. I had my stabilizer set to 13, is that too low? Does getting a stand for the tablet help?????
>>7961194use a better brush with a stabilizer to make the lines look less scratchy. for this specifically tho i think u need to give her more cranium and hair volume on the back of her head. that sideburn bang to (our) right should also be over top the ear, not vice versa.
>>7961194>practicing line arttrace manga pagespreferably in the original resolutionit's the only thing that really worked for me
>>7961194>stabilizer It's a matter of tuning up the parameters to your liking or needs. There you have what I use, some standard hard brush and the "dynamic brush tool" selected, with those settings, (mass 0.5) there more mass the slower the brush is, I draw fast so for me it is set in 0.5, which makes you draw quite fast. The drag is on "max" (1).About the head, it is always the hair, give it more hair on top an it will fix most of the problems. Then the ear should be further on the side of the head. For the lips is preferable to use just colors not a "line wrap around" it never looks good. Don't mind all of the rest I'm just fooling throwing lines around.The only way to get used to throw lines with confidence is to just keep at it, it is an acquired habit through practice. People here laugh at fun anon, but, he's putting the work doing those exercises.
>>7961162Also https://youtu.be/9cuMiOJf9NE?si=l73uGn5hY9h2vJbN for anyone else who’s having trouble coloring anime eyes
>>7961194For me, it’s all about getting used to it and drawing the line+redo over and over until I get it right
>>7961205>>7961202>>7961200thanks for the advicealso yeah I definitely flattened the top of her head

>>7961242originally her eye was half closed but i liquify transformed it so far that i dont even know anymorei didnt want to compromiste on that especially because it looked fine untill mirrored
>>7961243can you answer >>7960450
>>7961245dont think "study" or "exercise" or "grind"think "test", "experiment", "change"
>>7960410Today's slop
neck too long? shoulders too wide? face too simplistic? does she have sex appeal? could use some pointers
>>7961171use a grid to start, like >>7960927
>>7961220The one on the left... r-right anon..
Another slop
>>7961194Confdent linework is something that mostly comes with time and practice. It's not really something that you address and fix overnight.Also FYI, the stabiliser's purpose is to smooth out any micro-wobbles in your pen strokes that result from the tablet surface being slippery. Keep the setting low, maybe around 10, and don't use it as a crutch to fix your wobbly line work.

>>7961408Quite incredible
jesus that thread challenge is so disgusting to look at
Here's the problem and something that people are fundamentally not understanding. Because I have ADHD, I fundamentally cannot ever ever ever self motivate. It is completely impossible. My brain literally does not have the neurochemical composition and structures that are grown enough to do it. The only way someone with ADHD can do anything is by externalizing all the rewards. It's easy to delude yourself and think that because there are other successful people with ADHD that means you just have to "try harder" but that's not true. They got that way because of external circumstances and not because they were fundamentally motivated to do so. This is why just recommending me drawing guides isn't going to work. Because my brain will want to just get it done quickly and not take my time.No amount of medicine has made this go away. No amount of exercising has made this go away. No amount of dieting has made this go away. No amount of just telling myself to do it has made this go away. I've tried literally all of it and none of it has worked.Just recommending guides will not work because at the end of the day, there's no simply no motivation for me to sit down and study, because my brain doesn't like it.

because you're a lolcow
>>7961431Sounds like a you problem.
>>7961454That's literally what ADHD is. Ask any person about it. If you think that you're doing well despite your adhd it's because you have external motivators

>>7961241>why does she look retarded fuuuckShe's literally a 12/10 goddess lmfao
>>7961462I like these a lot
>>7961431First, no one cares. Also, you definitely have depression or anxiety, so go check yourself. Additionally, I have an extreme level of ADHD myself, and, by itself, it is not a block to self-motivation. For adults, it mainly causes attention issues, not motivation issues. Lastly, ADHD is not affected by "external circumstances", so you should educate yourself on the issue you claim to have.
>>7961495I'm on antidepressants and it still hasn't done anything. I've even switched to one that gave me more energy. Also, ADHD is absolutely affected by external motivators. That's the only one way that people with ADHD can even do anything. That's one of the reasons why body doubling works and people giving you rules and consequences also works. Motivation is a constant issue with people that have ADHD. It's nearly impossible to make yourself do anything unless someone makes you. I can't study, I can't grind. I can't do much of anything and no amount of trying to self motivate myself to do any hobby in about 12 years has made me do anything. The only time I was able to do anything was under pressure. This is just what ADHD does.

>>7961542you might not realize what you are saying>you aren't good enough to use or train observation skills or attempt construction and should use tracing-adjacent techniques instead

I tried doing that thing where you do a grayscale layer to get the values and add color later but it looks the same as usual, I probably fucked up somewhere
>>7961603Ok, but how does that affect me personally?
>>7961603Double hatkidfag’s ADHD button —->
i want to continue drawing but the smell of my penis is pissing me off
>>7961403Nice ass and anatomy
>>7961603Alright, I'm going to give you my secret method. It worked for me and I still do it. I draw virtually daily for at minimum 3 hours, even on workweeks. I can get 8 hour sessions out of this method too. >pick a timeslot of your day where you're guaranteed to have free time to draw>draw during that timeslot daily>you can draw outside of that timeslot if you want, but always make sure to draw within the timeslot>you're building a habit>next, acquire drugs and/or alcohol>when I draw, I pop cannabis capsules during my session, staggered every hour>I usually take 60mg THC, 30mg CBD, and 30mg CBN by the end of the day>I take the first dose right when I start the drawing session so it links up with my drawing habit >this is called habit stacking which enhances both habits>doing drugs or getting drunk is fun, and since I'm drawing at the same time, my brain has been rewired to think drawing is the funnest shit in my life>the dopamine reinforces the habit And that's it. You will nerf your drafting skills but everything will catch up through lots of practice. Good luck!
>>7961631That means you should take a shower, anon
>>7961653i dont want to
new sketchbookdecided to get the first page out of the way with a shitty scribble page so I didn't haven't to feel the pressure of making it something fantastic
wip
>>7961672Cute
>>7961672Head doesn’t match the body at all, the body is being viewed from a direct frontal angle but it looks like the head is being viewed from a slight top down angle. Also the body is really short, you only have it about 5 heads in total here
>>7961546Using grids isn't tracing retard. If you pair a beginner, intermediate and an adv to do a grid study the adv artist will have a better drawing every time. Observation is a skill that can and should be trained and is literally recommended by every working artist in the entertaining industry - even the highest tier anime studios.
>>7961686She's a loli anon. He's a cunny enjoyer
>>7961689 Entertainment industry* Anyways , pyw. Let's see what that dogma against valid observational techniques has done for you
>>7961530but he's not wrong, grid is a good way to get better at observation and how to plot down the most important measurements.>>7961516cute but the features of the head all point in different directions. like the top of the head and ears make it look like the head points to the right slightly down. the bangs and right face side imply a full frontal view. the left face side tilts downwards to the left.
how close do I have to be to be "good enough?"I feel like I'm closer to my reference than previous attempts but I don't think I can ever make a perfect recreation.Still also, this took about 3 and a half hours total. Which is the longest amount of time I've ever spent on a drawing
>>7961699it's a pretty good effort, I can see a few places where it's off, but the big shapes are thereif you feel confident, lower the grid resolution to 4x4 for the next one
What do you think? Might do one more on the bottom left and try to color it.
>>7961701I think sometimes less is moretry dialing back a bit the detailing of every muscle and anatomy you know, fade off also the line weight away from your focal pointof course this is just taste, so disregard me if you like it as it is
>>7961701She looks extra stinky in the best way and I want to shove my face between her buttcheeks
>>7961691Ok that’s fine but it doesn’t look correct by that standard either
>>7961703You might have a point, especially with the focal point stuff. I'll give it some thought. Thanks.>>7961713I'm glad she makes you feel that way anon.
>>7961699looks decent, make sure to acknowledge and mark areas that bother you the most. perfect is hard and not really needed in terms of where you have to be to get value out of your studies. You said you did a couple of them, why do YOU think your recent grid is better than previous attempts? like actually try to explain it to yourself and put it into words/thought.
got bored midway
drow sketch
Any crit? I'm thinking of practicing 360 rotation head today.
>>7961647But how?
>>7961689Using a grid is just tracing with extra steps. Better artists can trace better, no shit.
How are these for 1min gestures?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f49KKLMQOuY
