None of the anons have this thread have pointed out the actual flaw. You got a bunch of fags saying "anatomy is phoned in" but no one is actually pointing out the fucking flaw that the bitch in your pic doesnt actually have a proper cranium. You drew what would be the front part of her bangs but didnt actually draw the rest of her cranium/hair.
Like what you basically did is draw her the way Yugi from Yugioh is drawn, where you draw the bangs but then get into a decorative headpiece straight away. But for Yugi's case at least its intentional, you clearly arent going for that vibe.

Like look at this basic edit. I just altered the headpiece to make it sit like a hairband and added the back of her skull, and now the head looks has proper shape
HOWEVER
now that I did that it reveals that where you drew the eyes is way too fucking high
>>
File: critique1.jpg (757 KB, 889x1280)

So then what you would have to actually do next is lower the eyeline(and therefore the other features like her ear and nose) but if this is traditional drawing you fucked yourself.
HOWEVER to cheat it you can just move the nose lower and cover the eyes completely until there is no trace for the easier fix

while the critiques here are true, it still looks good, normie looks at this and theyll think its cool. Alot of cool art has problems when you analyse it but overall its cool, the issues dont outweigh the negatives. just gotta improve is all

Hello /ic/!

I'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:
>Are you actually diagnosed with ADD / ADHD?
Yes, ADD. I believe inattentive. Been diagnosed since 2003 but never treated long-term.
>How old are you?
31.
>Do you work?
Yes. Full time with a very emotionally draining job.
>Are you on the spectrum?
Undiagnosed but I'm pretty sure. High functioning if so.

Please use a softer lead. Your lead is making your drawings invisible and you are probably pushing too hard. I hope this doesn't offend you but your drawings are barely legible. All because of the lead you've chosen. Don't be afraid to make a mess. Use an HB or darker.

Think I figured out where to go with this. I think I want to render this one.

>>7940092
No offense taken, you raise a fair point that a lot of stuff is completely invisible from the thumbnails too. I'm also doing this on /ic/ entirely because people don't pull punches here really.

Roughly squeezed into frame here, I like F and H a lot, and I'm kinda reflexively 'saving" the others for the full renders I'm not doing. At some point, to get through the hit, I otta use the others.

Making a mess is a bit counter to how I'm wired, but you and any anon who tells me about speed is very valid in that. If I get over cleanliness that makes room to grow.

I have been playing around with chatgpt lately and i've gotta say that to do research or explore concepts/ideas or hone your rhetoric, play out arguments etcetera, it is a pretty good tool.
You feed it images, you can get out "results" if you're just aiming for low kitsch tier stuff like making things realistic which just copies the image and puts filters on top and texture and all that shit, but you go more into actual creative work that only reads to people, it starts to put extra stuff.

Would i use it for my own shit? Fuck no.
>>
>>7940110
It's a tool in some contexts but in many others it's not. Like if a car is a tool then using AI is like calling an uber (vs driving yourself). Once the fundamentals of what you are doing are stripped from you it stops being a tool and it becomes more of servant/employee/service.
>>
>>7925279
This board is about making art, not commissioning others to make it for you. /trash/ has the commission thread, go post there.

I always thought manga looked way bettern than comics. But now I see that even manga would look bad if it weren't pure black and white or tones. Maybe if western comics dropped the colors they'd look more appealing too.

Cropped the dick out because i dont wanna challenge jannies grip on their sexuality

Hello!

I am a current college student who works full time as a firefighter. I take online courses to try to get my degree in Illustration. Its something I've wanted for a long time, although I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this degree once its finished. Haha.

Anyways, I kinda stumbled on this board and figured I'd throw out some of the drawings I've had to complete this semester, and see how you all like them.

Thank you!

And youre right. Figure drawing is blah. Its just a skill showcasing and practice.

And I think youre right. I really would like to draw what i want to. Its kind of been placed all on the back burner with school, work, and im starting a cross country move to work at a different fire dept. Plus getting my capt. License for 100 ton vessels. Lol. I kinda just... idk. Like doing alot of things. I tend to get bored if something isnt challenging or if it becomes monotonous. Haha.

Well I don't know much about tattoos but if I had to guess then you need to work on your lines, figures, portraits and whatever is popular with what people want drawn. Being able to draw from reference (portraits) and designs/patterns, tracing, and values.
I just draw for myself but I guess I would call myself a illustrator rather than a artist. Idk just the logical conclusion that I wanted to draw vehicles and characters, which meant that I had to do backgrounds as well and also thumbnailing and then to not making it boring I also had to show a little story as well... Which is basically narrative illustration.
I never worked professionally as a artist, but I'm just doing video game art for my own project. Which basically is characters, backgrounds, sprites, animations, scenes etc. Since I'm making a game, my art also has to be narrative since I'm also making a story etc.

Thats cool! I wish you the best of luck on making a kick ass game!

Solid stuff. It's pretty clear there's a gap between your observed work and your imagined work, and that's pretty common. If you goal is to draw from your head, you need to spend some time intentionally memorizing and recalling bits and pieces of anatomy, architectures, fashion, ect. so you can draw it without reference. It's a skill on it's own that I don't really see taught anywhere.
You should also spend some time doing some master studies. Observation shows you the "what" of drawing; master studies show you the "how." You'll learn more about mark making and style from doing studies of works from artists you like than you will from life drawing.
>>7940735
>They had courses that required kilns and such. And I have no access or time for that.
I don't know where you live, but there's a non-zero chance that there's a local pottery place you could go to for this sort of stuff. Throwing is actually a lot of fun.

Thank you people for your future comments, genuinely thank you :)

>>7940507
Different anon but here's what worked for me in terms of nailing proportions and making forms feel more 3D:

>gesture studies
>blind contours
>grind more forms
>take a reference and break it down into shapes and forms
>active recall (cognitive/memory drawing)
>>
>>7940653
What's blind contours? And is active recall that exercise where you look at a reference for a while and then try to draw it from memory? I haven't tried that yet. Thanks.
>>
>>7940719
Blind contours are when you focus ONLY on the reference/subject without looking at your paper. When you study with blind contours and active recall and gesture studies and breaking down references, you're doing effective meaningful study since this whole process is building an inner visual memory of what you're seeing and allowing you to pull it out into reality after the fact.

I need a little bit of help. (and it's a bit of a stupid question.)
So there's an artist I follow, and I saw that they animated their stills with the new animation features from Clip Studio Paint.
https://catbox.moe/c/271utj

It looks like you can do actual puppet animations on CSP, but as someone who's a totaI noob at CSP, i don't have a single fucking clue on how to replicate this.
I did reached to the artist about this, but they couldn't share the .clip file for personal reasons and, no offense to the artist, they're absolutely terrible on responding; so a demonstration was out of the question.

Can anyone figure out how they did this within program? I tried searching for a fresh tutorial YouTube and it's just stuff from 1 to 5 years ago, fucking worthless.
