As a beginner, I have been looking at this for days now, trying to make sense of these sketches. But none seems to work. Every once a while either it'd be>incorrected head shapes, too big, too long, too wide>wrong proportions of the facial features> eyes too small, too big, doesn't follow the form of the headMaybe this is too advanced for me? Can i anyone help me where to start to understand this better?
>>7970850Hey, do you have the original image from OP?
It had been a while since I last drew anything, but I did so today.At first I couldn't do it. I made a sketch, it looked like ass, but I kept going. At a point when I moved from drawing one shape to the next, enlightenment came upon me and I remembered what drawing was all about. Then it was easy again.I could perceive the thing directly. One moment it wasn't with me, and then it was. I know exactly what it is. But I still can't put it into words. It's a mental process that you have to engage consciously. And it's not a spectrum, it's binary. It's not imagination or mind's eye. It's not a construction method. Even "feeling the form" captures only a fraction of what the thing is. It isn't like riding a bicycle, because you can actually forget it. It is definitely only one thing, though.At one point there was a canvas with some lines on it, and in the next moment there was a tiny world. The experience of it coming back to me was visceral.

Have you ever encountered a head construction method like this?

>>7934960>>7935643>>7935589>>7935800You need to learn how to draw human bodies but you absolutely do not need to do it before you draw furs. You can and should do both at the same time. The idea that you need to learn how to draw perfect realistic anatomy before you draw what you actually want to is how you get perma/beg/s and people who just quit art because they get burnt out.
How much time do you usually think you need for it to be worth starting to draw? Say you have to leave the house or go to bed in an hour, two hours etc. how little time left is too little time to be worth it to get started for the day? I feel like the number is gonna be much lower than my gut feeling which tells me it's all nighter or bust desu but I think I need to hear from someone else just how wrong that gut feeling isPic unrelated
>>7971041If I don't have at least an hour it feels like I'm rushing
>>7971041If I'm just doing a rough sketch, then even 10 minutes is enough. If I'm gonna start the linework, then I'd wait until I have more than 4 hours available.
>>7971041having a short time limit makes it EASIER to draw. If you know you have to go out in 2 hours, your brain will want to draw and squeeze as much as you can out of that time. If you have infinite time because of no responsibilities, then its difficult to start drawing because there's nothing forcing you to
>>7971501Yeah. My biggest problem isn't not having enough time, but the difficulty of starting (procrastination is real)One of the strategies I've picked up to fight procrastination is to work in 15 minute bursts. I set up a timer, tell myself it's just 15 minutes, and start working. Then I chain them once I get the momentum going.It can be surprising how much can be done in 15 minutes. Of course, that's 15 minutes of intense working, not sitting around staring at a canvas and pretending to work.
>>7971041Since you specifically mentioned drawing for the first time within the day, I'd say at minimum 1 hour plus. Ideally about 90 minutes. I find that my brain takes some time for it to switch into that art gear, unless I've been having consistent long drawing sessions for the past few days. Otherwise, if you've already managed to get into that art gear earlier in the day then even 30 minutes is a good enough amount of time to get something "decent" done. Be it a sketch or something just a bit more complex. I've recently made some slight changes to my daily schedule to wake up earlier and have at least 2 hours to draw before I have to go to work. It's been going pretty well desu.

Would it be a stupid idea to use an ipad mini for a travel art tablet?
My used huion tablet is starting to fall apart. Thinking of getting a screenless tablet since they're cheaper and should last longer + better for your neck. Is it worth getting if I have really shaky hands? Does the fact that vertical and horizontal movement are at different sensitivies ever become a problem?

>>7971581>Fun art! Custom handwritten text can add more flavor and personality to the charaacters, but sometimes it's hard to read. I find that the more friction readers encounter, the more likely they are to drop it. It's a risk for longer format comics, but for short webcomics it's fun.I appreciate the reply. I agree with what you said about the lettering, I get a bit disappointed looking back and seeing how sloppy it is, so from now on I promise myself to take extra care with it
>>7971659Part of the charm of anime and manga for me is the silliness, the cartoon-physics, the exaggerated facial expressions. I actually like these early pages a lot more too. I mean, your technical skill has improved, but it has kind of become a meme to say this these days, but you've sort of lost some soul in your work in gaining technical skill.

How popular do you need to be to get 500-1k USD monthly doing art online? Is it viable with just around 3k followers or so on various social media?
>>7970844pywPlease, let me see what 40k sub art looks like
You need to understand how websites like Patreon work. Artist A has 10 paying members and Artist B has 200. They both generate the same income. It's a very common sight. Artist B could be you. You want to be Artist A.
>>7970914I have no interest to earn money frrom my art. I do art because i enjoy it and i draw what i want to draw. If i would do it money, then i would need to draw what other people want and that wouldnt be as enjoyable.
>>7971749I only accepts comms I want to draw myself.t. >>7970934No one forces you to accept comms you don't want to draw. Also clients comm you because they like what you draw. No one is going around asking if a guy who has never drawn whatever kink they have to draw the kink. Instead they pick up artist who already draw their kink and then comm them to draw personalized artwork of that kink.I recommend spending few days to a) figure what you like to draw and b) how to market and brand yourself so that you get the audience you targetting. You rather draw and earn money from drawing what you like than draw and not get paid to do it.
>>7970918I'm making my dream game and art and I never had more fun.You can do both if you you like both enough... Granted it too 3 years to get good enough at drawing to start.
Whenever I go to this board. I see Loomis, Vilppu, Hampton, and Bridgman. But rarely Hogarth. Is Hogarth really that underwhelming compared to the other anatomy/figure drawing artists?
>>7970351its not a beg book and most of /ic/ are perma beg no draws so they dont know how to use the book as a tool,
>>7970351his anatomy is very stylized but early in his tarzan career he aped Hal Foster so well that even foster claimed couldnt tell the difference. Dynamic figure drawing is absolutely filled withe useful information for figure invention
>>7970351People don't want something that's exaggerated to illustrate a point which they have to reinterpret into their own work. They want a 123 guide to teach them exactly what to do
>>7971756They need to 1. lie down and 2. stay quiet as I 3. kick them in the head.

/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.

Just a sketch today, have to sleep early.Tried to find a specific reference for a stance and the closest thing I got was a a low res photo by some dude who does salts in the Arizona desert for his Christianity blog.
Probably doing the background tomorrow.Bro is looking at the fairy. NOT the sexy lady. I swear.
Not much today. I accidentally made this dude look gormless, but it made me smile so I stuck with it.
Body hurts syndrome today. Cubes.
Hair practice and a figure.I think I figured out what's wrong with me trying to connect the hips and torso, I'm trying to put two things together I should think of it was one thing.Gomen for the lighting.

>>7970909It's not like that. There are a lot of better animators than me but I dont mind. My problem is that I never finished personal animations becouse I wasnt 100% satisfied with them. I'm learning to sticking to it, releasing and moving on. The pomni one I realized lated that I missed a shadow on her hair and the eyebrows lol.>>7970932I studied a short animation career and the rest I learned while working as a freelance or on my own.

forgot how much i fucking hate animating hair
booomp
>>7971140>the learning curve is REALLY hard until your brain finally gets some of the basic principles then it gets a lot easierThis part jumps out to me because I already know the very basics of animation thanks to a really old animation course on Youtube, that short course is almost 2 decades old, and a bunch of animation concepts finally clicked in my mind but I can`t recall anything past the basics (12 principles)Thanks anyway, you`re an awesome animator.
im just realizing this is the 2nd time im animating a short bitch turn around in surprise. im a fucking hack
