Where should I start?A: Do the exercises in either "Keys to Drawing" by Bert Dodson or "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards. Additionally, you can try the first few lessons of https://drawabox.com/ for building up muscle memory.
didn't realize last thread was on page 10 until it died, oopsthanks for baking again op
Every time I post my art the thread dies...It really is that bad, huh...
>>86401930we dont have a very lively population so no
I need to learn to get past this stage, theres just something I dont quite like about what im doing that I cant shake off and its preventing me from moving forward. Infuriating to say the least
my sleep schedule has been cooked ever since i went up a dose on my meds. So now im a nightowl.
>>86402571>theres just something I dont quite like about what im doing that I cant shake offY'know, I think that just might be a natural part of being an artist, never quite being happy with your own work. Like we've told you before, the best course of action is to just let that part of your mind rage at you in the background while you get on with doing stuff. Epiphanies rarely occur when you're looking for them, they're much more liable to strike at you from left field when you're focused on something else.>Fat tits or flat chest?Consider cheesing it by taking a third option; flat chest, fat crotchtits.
>>86401283The previous one was the 86358478
>>86402662its so frustrating because these aren't really awful and I kind of like the way these look, I just dont know what the next step I should take to like actually make these into something should be. brutally overthinking this.>Crotchtitsnot my thing but im not completely averse to trying it at some point for funsies
>>86402712you're overthinking severely. It really is just better to start practicing anything. You're still very much in the /beg/ range so just picking and focus of study, either value, perspective, construction will help
>>86402704You should add >> on those numbers too. It will show as a dead ref here but will link as normal on the archives.>>86358478
>>86401283Source of that tutorial?
>>86402829no clue, i stole it from the usual anon poster.
>>86402712>I just dont know what the next step I should take to like actually make these into something should be.I have the opposite problem of having a lot of ideas but not having the time or the privacy to purse the vast majority of them in anything approaching a consistent manner. Since you've been told a few times to sit down and come up with a more long-term project idea already, I'm guessing your hammer's striking an empty chamber on that no matter how much you try to load in some ammo. That's always a tricky situation to advise for, since there's likely no external factors that can be changed easily that would help and likely a lot of internal factors that don't benefit much from external advice.Well, let me throw an idea into the ring to see if it might be something worth pursuing; you like to draw your girls with absurdly large tits, no? Why not explore how that affects their daily lives? A lot of one-off humorous pieces about how they get in the way and put strain on the back have been made about it by various artists already, of course, but what if we were to take it in a more dramatic direction? Present the problem seriously (though not so seriously you can't find a bit of levity in the process as well), come up with ways to circumvent the practical issues the problem presents and explore how it affects character relationships. Maybe have someone take a sexual interest in those huge tits and try to pursue a relationship with the character, create some narrative tension with both characters questioning whether it's the tits or the personality that is the main attractive component in the long run and then answer those question with the appropriate fallout and character growth opportunities either outcome leads to.Incidentally, fetishes as a storytelling device is one of the ideas I'd love to pursue myself, but just can't commit to for the foreseeable future, so it'd be nice to see others take a crack at it from their own unique standpoints.
>>86402829Apparently, some German graphic designer by the same of SabrinaMrtn is the one responsible for it:https://www.instagram.com/sabi.mrtn/
one more pic before i sleepdont die again plz
>>86403377i'll attempt to keep it alive
>>86403008Ty
Does this look like 40 USD worth of art to you guys
Not for me, but if you want some specific fetish, maybe.
>>86402571Have you ever posted your inspirations? That is to say, who or what do you want your art to look like? Any artists that inspire you directly?
>>86404363i think he did post a couple time but i forget. It did look like a generally solid anime style
>>86402797I want to do more clothes like dresses and stuff but I always get too invested in drawing the body before adding clothes (if im already drawing the torso I might as well draw all the little anatomical shit nobody will ever see:3">>86402946>you like to draw your girls with absurdly large tits, no? Why not explore how that affects their daily lives?That's actually one of the main things I like drawing (or would like to), chicks with huge inconvenient tits. One of my main inspirations from an old ass /co/ OC that youve surely seen me draw a few timeshttps://goldengirl.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=all>>86404363heres a few off the top of my head and because I just woke up, theres a lot more of course but this is the general vibe.
>>86406570do you get distracted when drawing alot? or like caught up on things?
>>86407769Reported for doxxing. Enjoy your ban.
>>86406978I fixate on stuff super hard, if I dont like the way a line looks I start going insane and ill try to "fix" it for fuckin ever. I'm trying to work on it and learn to just let shit go sometimes but it's a huge factor for why I rarely ever finish shit because ill get as far as I can until I hit something like that and just be like "I cant go any further, if I try im just going to spend forever on it". it drives me insane
>>86407769if he had working fingers that guy would totally be dead by now
>>86407769I had a dream with a similar plot. No, I did not try to draw hands, but I had a pistol in my hands and could not pull the trigger no matter how hard I tried. Apparently it's a common thing, when you focus on the mechanical part of the action, it does not work in a dream, you need to think about the outcome or whatever.Sorry, not related to the thread.
>>86402805Thanks for the heads up.
Drawing bunnies instead of working on the pic with a deadline.
>>86411086based
>>86411086cutewhere do anons find inspiration? I often don't know what do draw
I'm ngl, adter looking at other drawthreads, no wonder so many people don't post here. I'd see why discords are preferred with how crazy those thereads are.
>>86401283anyone has a guide for body anatomy?
>>86403008Thanks for that.
>>86411434i'm surprised to see a couple anons here struggle with finding ideas or inspiration, for me it's the exact opposite. i have a lifetime of ideas that i simply must act on and make real but i lack the skills to realize them to a satisfactory level (for now)my advice though is write down your ideas somewhere, you probably have a shit ton of inspiration but it might just be fleeting and you miss it, always write down whatever ideas you have because you could just as easily forget them tomorrow and never see it again. do that and you'll also just start thinking more about it all around. also just look at stuff you like, that helps too>>86413091check the mediafire books there's a ton of good books and guides there
cough
Not as much stuff as I wanted to do but better than I thought I would do.
>>86419412Atleast you're getting better
>>86419412Good stuff, you doing great!
>>86402829>2>9Yeah average tutorial
>>86412306The site sucks cause it's a former shell of itself. And every thread has a few people who have nothing but "points to prove". We're lucky this thread is relatively tame, but that's because it's full of /begs/ and dies before it hits 50 posts. Im just taking what i can get.
>>86419412Those are some nice sketches anon.>>86420912I don't frequent those other threads, how are they crazy? Also,what do you mean by "begs"? People just making art requests?
>>86421156beg(inner)
>>86421156>I don't frequent those other threads, how are they crazy?Schizos that derail everything because of their requests not being completed quick enough or their requests being opted for another anons. It's a story that draw back several years at this point.>begsby that i mean, generally, /begs/ tend to be alot more chill since they're new or unexperienced. Less ego involved, more cordial discussion (even if it's not necessarily always the highest quality) of wanting to improve/get better. Granted, i haven't drawn all too long, but me and a few other artists i've built relationships with notice that when you come across more experienced artists who hover around the intermediate range, you'll find that's when alot of ego's start to clash and develop.
Haven't done trad in a long while
>>86421219That's one interesting observation about experience. Since I'm one of those beginners, I can't say much about it, but it makes me wonder about egos in other fields. In most STEM fields, I have met people that are all ego, yes, but I would argue there is a bigger proportion of people that are very experienced and are willing to discuss and help the newies.
>>86412306>I'd see why discords are preferred with how crazy those thereads are.Discord is a trap anon, you'll going to deal with the most unsavory people that will groom you, and if they can't they'll blacklist you.
>>86421386very knowledgeable people tend to understand how vast and complicated topics can be. If the individual is sympathetic enough (most people tend to be), then they're usually always the first people that want to help. But now that i realize, we're talking about people on 4chan, not people in the real world.
>>86421400So they filter themselves out of your life instead of making you filter them out here. Slight improvement.
>>86421219>It's a story that draw back several years at this point.Used to do a bit of drawfagging on the drawthreads here, can confirm. Ain't looked much into them over the last six years, but every time I've taken a peek out of sheer curiosity, shit's just worse than the last time I looked. Seems like only the absolute worst, most entitled requesters are left there nowadays.
>>86421722i feel a bit sad that i started using 4chan so late into it's life (2025) l0l. It's mostly been a overwhelmingly negative experience.
>>86421796Damn, that's very late. Feels like you were born during the Obama presidency. I usually stick to /k/, and while it changed, the bottom like is the same.
>>86422385i was born right before obama.
>>86422436old fuck
>>86422953Lol i meant i was born in 2006
bump
>>86421796>i feel a bit sad that i started using 4chan so late into it's life (2025) l0l.never should have even started
>>86424892yeah i sorta regret it. But im here now. So....
>>86425506>>86424892How is it bad? Nowadays, it's a website that offers a variety of discussions without heavy moderation. You spend a few hours a week and that's it. Is not like people are spending +60 hours a week here, like in the old times. And the quality of content isn't worse than the rest of the internet imo, unless you are into doomscrolling.
>>86425576>without heavy moderationlollmaodare I even say roflMy zoomer in christ the 4chan of 2006 (2008, 2010, even 2014) no longer exists and never will again
>>86425576Are you being sarcastic? Sorry.
