I want to draw lewd stuff or anime, but at the same time I feel repulsed by it. Just the whole culture of it, the tropes, I don't think I really want to be a part of it. It just disgusts me and I hate it. But at the same time, it's maybe the only thing I really want to draw oddly enough.
>>6835929>You first. You can't, you wont.>He thinks I'm embarrassed to post my shitty scribbles it's still WIP so feel free to shit all over it, Now you pyw.>By your logic fapping to porn made by female hands is the same as having sex with them.touche.
>>6835936No, I'm just the only one being honest. Other anons are fucking LARPing here.
>>6835899And?
>>6835743thanks zaddy
>>6834480>Do other artists feel this way? You're the one feeling this way because you're a self hating slave-morality pathetic retard>>6835743>welllooks like garbage
How the fuck? Like, I can draw about anything from a reference, I know forms and anatomy and perspective and whatever, but when I try to draw anything from imagination, like a figure in a dynamic pose, it ends up being very wonky. Do I swallow the ref pill and just use refs for everything? What if I want to draw cartoons?
Force yourself to draw from imagination and tell yourself you can. If you reach a stumbling point, FORCE yourself to finish it. Don't think "I can't draw this, I don't know how this should look," just finish it with something even if you know it looks wrong.That said, that doesn't mean not to use refs. References are good to use, and if you're doing paid work, you'll probably have to use references. And you can use references even for highly stylized cartoons, though they might not help as much since even with a reference you'll have to apply more imagination to get the result you want.
>>6835985When you draw enough poses from references, you'll eventually start to see patterns, like say, an elbow will always bend like this, this joint only bends so far etc etc. Do that long enough, and you'll have a mental library of how every part of the body conforms to whatever pose you're thinking of. But this won't happen for a while.tl;dr stop whining, keep drawing, and just keep using references until you don't need them anymore
heh... no one draws without reference... "the imagination" is just cope for people that draw using references from their minds...
>>6836010This right here OP. You are going to have to draw a LOT to get to that point though so chop chop.
Try drawing what you want quickly and roughly on cheap paper. You aren't trying to make a "real" drawing at this point, but feeling out the shape of things,the space they occupy, their stance and what they are doing. Explore their images,toss the indications of details, and usung previous versions as reference material for the next,refine the idea. Then,in a sketchbook, with good paper, do the first real drawings of these elements. There are ways of approaching this creative process that results in a mostly finished work,something that you can leave alone and move on from. My own is to build a skeleton of the idea,and flesh it out with details,eventually breathing life into your creations. Not everything you draw needs to be an Official Drawing, but steps in a formula that you can apply to any art form. Like in my picture, it's more important to get anything onto paper, because you can develop these jots with more roughing. I was trying to capture the moment of intense pain, and I see the glimmerings of it.

>>6836080does she have 4 boobs or is she fat
>>6836087My guess is two boobs arranged vertically.
>>6836080>feel the formi will never understand what this means
Anyone know how I can "feel the form & volume"?
pretend shes holding an ar15 and also pretend i didnt trace it and make slight changes and instead drew it all on my own
Jujudrop I think your stuff is great. Can you share how you got into making what you make?
>>6835272I agree with the people that call you a bullshitter. You are either a bullshitter or deviantart is legit free money, you just post a fetish and you get cash instantly, no matter what quality the drawing. I just dont believe its that easy.
>>6836055Love shooting down people like you. Pic rel is from my DA earnings and heres link to my completed Pixiv Reqs https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/15802361/requestThe trick is drawing what you yourself like, make yourself available to those into the same thing and let them see your knowledge, passion and skill in the subject. Also being welcoming and pleasant person helps a lot when marketing yourself :) If you want, feel free to DM me and I can help you marketing yourself too if you want. For monetary compensation or for drawing of Tifa and Aerith wrestling, of course.
>>6836076Yo juju, what are your thoughts on Rumble Roses, if any?
>>6836100Hohoho... I remember seeing the ad for it and knowing it will be the exact game for my fetish fuel :D When it finally came out and I went to buy it, I was all red on my face thinking the cashier knows exactly how I am a female wrestling degenerate and she would be judging me. To make the matter worse, she had trouble scanning it and needed to punch in the product code manually and it felt like an eternity when I was standing there. On the first week playing it, one morning my gf told I had grabbed her in my sleep, locked her legs open and fucked her sideways while sleeping through the whole ordeal.So yes. I did enjoy Rumble Roses a lot.

You should be able to draw this
says who, you? fuck you. I love art from artists who probably have difficulty with this, and although I could draw a very accurate study of this bust I prefer their art over my own.The tired old arbitrary rules set by the beginners who attempt to lay claim to some small piece of merit in lieu of their own skill by instantly challenging those who were only moments ago in their position. But for the smallest amount of effort before setting up another checkpoint shortly down the road, they will forever be beholden to their own justified fears of being surpassed by those who are above the consumptive cycle of insecurity. The Hare was never confident in his nature, confidence is not folly. Your eyes will never be on the horizon if you insist on running laps around the tortoises and inevitably you will tire.Bitch.
>>6836058I probably can, copying shit whether it be from a reference or irl isn’t hard. Actually building form from your head now that shit feels impossible for me. Picrel is a drawing I did compared to the original, not perfect but I got bored and rushed to finish it. But if you asked me to draw an anime character or compose a scene or even anything other then copy what’s in front of me I literally can’t.
>>6836082what the fuck
i'll show you around and tell you about and with encounters i had with people

I CAN'T DRAW
>>6836068Welcome to the club, you fit right in. Also, sexy horse.
HOW DO I DRAW
>>6836068it's alright anon, just remember in the beginning there's no good or bad, just being & becoming. give it time, you have to let it go and go with the flow.
>>6836103What kind of paper is that
How do I get paid for art without either having to reveal my full legal fucking name or inconvenience buyers? Literally every fucking service out there reveals your name. Why does Kofi even exist if it's just going to do everything through paypal and let them dox you?
>>6834899Go to sleep, grandpa
>>6834892you literally can't leave. If you built a rocket to fly away you'd be stopped by the us government.
>>6834850In the US, I think that the only way would be to file your business as a LLC, because then you HAVE to get a DBA since you can't use your name for that. Then you have to register your business in Delaware or New Mexico(?) for it to be the cheapest and to offer yourself the most anonymity. This costs way more money upfront and to maintain than a Sole Prop. Also, if you are a single member LLC then you still have to file your taxes as if you were a sole prop. I mean someone can find you if they probably really want to do, but I think, so far, that's could be a possibility for you, but you WILL have to pay taxes on whatever income you make. Also, you can write off any related expenses.
I use Pixiv and Deviant Art in-site commission services for that. Your client won't see your info and you won't see your client's info as the site is being the middle man and neither party can scam each other over
>>6835061What if you live somewhere else like uhhh North Africa :)Also is that why many artists just put their irl names now? I always wondered why the change
I’m very rusty, trying to get warmed up again with some figure drawings. Figured that we could draw together. It could be funPost your figure drawingsShare figure drawing resourcesPost references and cool poses to drawDraw at least 100 figures
>>6835195I think you need to stop this quick study shit and apply yourself more because you can easily end up staying at this skill level for years with this kind of mental masturbation. What youre doing right now is largely useless and mindless. If its fun then go for it. But if you want to get better it will take some brain power. Pick one to three poses and repeat them over and over till they look somewhat okay. Take some time but dont spend ages on it, one hour max. Trust me its so much more satisfying. GL
>>6835295Thank you for the wake up advice. Of course I'd like to get better. I'll follow what you said and try post some more results. When you mean repeat the pose do you mean in all fields? (silhouette, gesture, anatomy, form, shadow, line, etc etc) or should I specify into one field more than the other? Sorry if the question is a little dumb
>>6835317 Line and gesture arent something to practice in isolation ever in my opinion. You pracitce that stuff passively no matter what you draw. Find drawings you like and try to be like that using your own brain. All the bs online course exercises dont work and are made to make students feel like they are getting better, but they are at the EXACT. SAME. SKILL. LEVEL. Good luck and have fun, seriously.

Maybe when I get better.>>6833480>>6834755Great as always, do you ever do any work with harder lines?

Another NMA figure drawing video. Same model as the last one. Longer session tho.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXXad-Iauzw>>6835485>Great as always, do you ever do any work with harder lines?Thanks, you can see some longer ones in this one. But still not enough time for the Huston style charcoal rendering I'm going for. Hopefully I can get a bit quicker and fully render them like in these studies I did. >>6806863 Although copying a drawing is a lot easier.Your faces are really cute and the expressions are great. Also love the stylized anatomy.
If I only want to draw anime girls would it be worth learning how to draw anime boys first due to their easier, more obvious anatomy?
>>6835838Both have the same amount of "obvious anatomy" - they're just styleized cartoons. People who like drawing anime girls get better at it by just drawing anime girls, and they are known for their anime girls. People who like drawing anime boys get better at it by drawing anime boys, and they are known for their anime boys.Just draw your waifus bro
>>6835838I don't have many problems drawing menI can't draw women at all, they always look wrong because I'm so used to drawing men.If you don't draw it you won't get better at it
>>6835994>>6835961Copying isn‘t even the issue, plenty of managkas got started by copying their favorite manga. What is an issue though is both that most of them don‘t do it nearly enough and that they do so with all the mindfullness of a robot.Just copying the lines so that they match the original with very little thought put into why they‘re there in the first place.Also no soul.
>>6835838>If I want to draw X, should I learn Y instead?Why are people so retarded
>>683609199% of western art advice is exactly thathalf the reason shit like drawabox is popular is people being weirdly afraid to just jump into the deep end and draw what they actually want
