Do people make up colors when painting? there is no way they actually see all these colors in the face.

post, rate, get rated
>>8013272Low beg, like someone who just started drawing a few months ago.
>>8013298that's pretty accurate. the sum total of time i have spent actively trying to improve is at most a few months. i have taken one college art class that taught some kind of drawing on the right side of the brain curriculum but it was 15 years ago now. i probably don't have the neuroplasticity anymore to get good at anything but i still try.
actually, i shouldn't knock people in their 30's trying to learn art because my mom didn't learn to paint until she was like 35 and she got to like high beg level in no time at all without any digital crutches. i probably inherited at least a fraction of her power. i think it was basically raw talent that carried her. same with my sister. i don't think they ever really studied fundies.
>>8013282anyway heres my (im feeling generous with myself rating tonight) mid-beg ass.I sketched this tonight, it is very flawed.
What art piece inspired you to start drawing/painting?
>>8009421
Some kid on a forum was talking shit and flexing fairly mediocre art skills, I decided I would one day mog him.I don't even remember his name or what the drawings look like, for all I know he was actually really good and he's now one of those foreign animators they hire when they want One Piece to look better for five minutes. Or he gave up and got a job at the post office, found a wife and had two kids like everyone else.
>>8009517kek that's a drawing of me
I remember one day I saw Itoh Sei's work and was so awestruck I couldn't draw for a week. Left me wondering wth I was doing with my life when there's someone out there that can draw this well.I'd been drawing before but was just kinda "drifting", since then I've been paddling towards something but I'm not sure what

>What is this?CRAB is an OCT where artists submit their OCs and participate in a three-round tournament where they are pit against an opponent to fulfill a prompt's task over the other. There are three rounds and thus three prompts that an artist must fulfill featuring their OC facing off against another OC using the theme and prompt as their guideline for content.>How many people are participating?40 people assorted into 8 teams with waitlisted contestants for spots that open up in-tourney due to dropouts or sudden departures.>How long will this take?From May 17th to Aug 25th.>Random art battles?CRAB has had animations, VNs, DOOM.WADs, and more submitted as entries in the past, that's where the 'random art' comes from.>How does this work?Main organization is done on Discord but it is not a requirement if you want to stay thread-only, however you do have to host your entries on catbox or other image hosts to be voted on by other participants.

/lwad/#2Previous: >>7849114I've obtained a prescription for (generic) Adderall and wanted to experiment on how it affected learning to draw. I opened this thread to document my progress and for everyone else's observation / amusement.My goal with this thread is to simply take an Adderall and draw for at least a couple hours a day and post the results. Realistically I may miss some days. The hope is to keep these threads ongoing until I'm either satisfied with the progress documented, or I crash out.Probable Questions:>Why?Whether or not medicating has a significant effects on learning, if it only has a partial effect on some related disciplines that go into drawing, or it arguably had no major effect at all, I want this thread to feed into any discussion as a case example.

Def finishing this tomorrow. I really like doing details but doing them at this phase risks 'polish no foundation'.>>8010423My room has switched outlets instead of a central light, and instead of a lamp I went with a light strip. My previous light strip was very good with the standard room colors but had some problems like letting out a loud electrical screech and not showing colors much of the time. The new strip I got is more reliable but doesn't have those room lights colors.For proper lighting, I go downstairs into the kitchen to take a photo. If it's not a meaningfully large update or I'm extra tired that night I won't go downstairs.Your post made me experiment to find the best I could get to standard room light. 3/4 white 1/4 orange.

Foreground plants fucked up and I could've done some practice for mulch / ground cover / smearing, but voila.All with one pencil, I think it looks kinda okay / 10.
Work kicked my energy in the sun and had to do OT right after.Anatomy feels intimidating still, but hey I managed these in ~20.
Mostly gardened today, and here's 40m on minutes of heads. Not sure if it's just because it's fresh after doing nature shit for 2(?) months but it's feeling easier than before.I also got 6hrs of sleep for a change of pace so that's another thing.

>>8013342she's not fucking around!
i have a few things i've been struggling to understand, and i'd really like to hear your point of view on them.how are you supposed to draw without a constructive approach?for example, in this frame:"https://youtu.be/cZGhrwpk-p4?t=9"you can see that the artist doesn't seem to draw a single construction/contour line before starting to define the figure.i personally use construction and contour lines quite a lot to figure out the volume of a form in 3D space, its orientation, placement, and the relationship between different parts. so when i see someone start drawing directly like this, i honestly don't understand what information they are using to decide where the lines should go.from experimenting with this myself, i've started wondering whether some artists simply don't use volume as the primary foundation of the drawing. perhaps they use shape/silhouette as the primary foundation instead, with volume being something secondary, implicit, or even something they don't consciously think about.i'm not sure i'm explaining this very well, so i'll try to illustrate what i mean with the image i'll attach.Comment too long.

>>8011771Gonna be completely fair with he kid, there are guys with 10 plus years of experience that still draw starting with eyes and then the contour of the face.>but i have le eyeball experienceYeah form being shit at drawing, kid's on his way of repeating the same shit drawing for 10+ years too
>>8011885It's completely real. I saved the PDF for a good read every now and then, whenever I'm feeling in the need of a pick-me-up in regards to my artistic capabilities. That's just from page 26 out of 114, and it only gets worse from there.>>8011919:(>>8011921There are tons of people like him on reddit making art progress posts. His art is not that different from them.
>>8011921>>8011921>Gonna be completely fair with he kid, there are guys with 10 plus years of experience that still draw starting with eyes and then the contour of the face.So you going to pyw and show us how a face is made then?
>>8009608Just so you know, you're not supposed to delve too deeply into constructive drawing until you've mastered observational drawing.
>>8009608I don't think it comes from any other training than just drawing that way. Learning to construct will inform your decisions, for sure, but to be able to draw using contours alone requires hand-eye and thought coordination. Speed is gonna work against you, try drawing as slow as you physically can, let your brain talk you through it till it takes control of your hand. If you really wanna go deep, try to only erase when necessary and us undo sparingly, the flow will come easier then and you'll keep track of your lines. Also, try to keep correctness off top priority. What you come up with is what you actually know, so you can then learn more based on the mistakes you see later on. Im kind of talking out my ass, but this exercise somehow always hypnotises me into drawing better, and with very little construction. I imagine it wouldn't be as useful on more complex drawings.
