Okay so since apparently nothing that I'm doing is working can someone give me a tutorial I can actually understand and apply?I've looked at the tutorials and I genuinely cannot understand them or figure them out. I don't know how to break things down into basic shapes nor apply them to what I want to draw. Unless someone explains the exact process to me I'm going to keep banging my head against the wall doing nothing. I tried Loomis, didn't work. I tried IC sticky and gave up immediately. Nothing has worked for me.

Why am I not getting better?
>>34585045HOWIE THREAD DO NOT REPLY.
>>34585045>Loomis>IC stickyI don't even know what that is.>>34585264>Why am I not getting better?Just keep trying, what is wrong exactly? The drawing isn't bad though. Art is subjective.
>>34585264Like my proportions are completely fucked my lines are fucked the shapes are fucked the perspective is fucked
>>34585045>>>/ic/ will probably give you better advice
Keep drawingFor every drawing you work with try to not stop until you can say ''it's finish''Try also to draw without so much self restrain, obviously if you are drawing a very detailed pose or composition you would be working with the most basic shapes and from there sculping their shape, but I feel that after a while if you are just drawing characters every so often trying to draw them fast paced helps. As in ''oh god I need to draw the perfect circle, the perfect rectangle and joint them all together!!!'', when you could just let your head relax and do the same with less anxiety.Get yourself around people who also draw, try to draw with them too, that helps a lotAnd very important, the learning experience never ends, it's infinite feedback on every end, you post your art, get some criticism, look at art of those you like and learn from them and so on...
>>34585387Her had already created a thread there, seems like he abandoned this one
>>34585045just 1 year????? I've been drawing since I was 7 years old. Like a lot. The progress was slow but worth it. I dont draw much nowadaysdid u know it took me over 100 drawings to practice how to properly draw men? yeah and even now i have so much more to practicekeep going buddy
>>34585347Looks like Howie has actually gotten a little better desu
Howie is back everyone
>>34585045>>34585234>>34585264I know we are our harshest judges, but I really don't think your drawings are as bad as you think. [spoiler]Also, good choice, Hat in Time is nice[/spoiler]What I think might help you out is to allow it to flow more naturally, to not constrain yourself with forms and such that much. Unfortunately, that only comes with time and experience: draw, observe what you feel is off, and try to fix it. Rinse and repeat. Post your art so that you can hear some pointers, don't mind the harsh criticism that may sometimes emerge. Do it for yourself, because you want to.Also, there's a certain saying that applies to pretty much everything in life, but perhaps specially for creative stuff:>'Make it real first, make it good later'.So basically, don't worry about it being perfect at first, the most important thing, and the biggest heap for everyone, is the determination to keep practicing it.
