After finishing most of my pieces I go back and look at the sketch. I've noticed that when comparing them, the finished drawing with lineart and color always looked more stiff, I dont know how to fix it..
It happened really bad especially in this case.. Any tips?

make the shoulders relaxed and not shrugging and it already fixes the unnatural look

as another anon has said, look at pics of people and their posture/body language

The body language is completely different. The left's body language is more excited, focused, and bubbly. The right look more awkward. I think you accidentally put so much focus into making sure everything technical was correct, that the body language got lost. Her arms should be straight, resting on the side of her feet, legs out straight, shoulders back and together more.

>ill try doing more sketches and make them make sense,

Not them, but honestly just look at people in poses and practice capturing body language. You can use reference photos from the Internet or pictures of your own body to keep anatomy on track. That's what the pros do. And I will fight anyone who says Frank Frazetta was wrong for using his wife's hot body for a model.

It's called economy of details; your draw less and the brain fills in the details. This is why rough sketches look better than finished work

Draw boxes to get a feel for the inner architecture of the things you want to draw. Use cheap paper,and sketch quickly and roughly,for these will be your reference material for your sketchbook designing.

Why is it that when I'm not drawing I feel like shit and self-defeatist and procrastinate while thinking about drawing, but when I start drawing I feel good and confident and think "hey, this is pretty damn fun!"?

I'm literally the exact opposite of picrel.
>>
>>6965169
I do this too, it is just a weird brain block from starting usually due to mental illness.
It feels like if you start you will be mad, take too much time, hate your art you make, have what you make not be good enough, etc but then you finally start and it feels nice and like you wonder why you were so scared to start in the first place
Even when you create a turd in that timeframe drawing it feels good and like you made something and tried and it feels good to learn from your mistakes.

I think I have gotten around the weird urge to not start by just being like, I have a few hours and I am going to put on music and draw. Give yourself 10 minutes you have to draw for and if you are still not feeling good about it you can do something else.
In my experience, that 10 minutes is just enough to get past that block and realize you are having fun drawing and want to keep going
>>
The same thing happens when procrastinating on writing papers, anon. It's all in your head, that's why the most important part is to just start. This is the critical point, you just have to do it. This is where not-doing turns into doing. Just. Start.

This might be projection but it happens to me with a lot of things, I perform well once and then I dread doing it again because what if I fail or don't perform to the same level and retroactively prove my previous attempt wrong and I was just a big fat failure all along?

ill assume money is not an issue, since watercolor is not a budget friendly medium. Even if you know nothing about color theory and end up wasting materials, learning on cheap ass paper and paint will be almost impossible since the quality makes such a big fucking difference.

Avoid celulose paper like the plague, only 100% cotton paper (Strathmore or Canson Heritage for practice, arches for fine art). You also need vibrant paint, otherwise your work will look chalky and childish. For straters buy a white nights or sonnet kit. Go for paint pans, tubes can be a pain (just buy them to refill empty pans). Buy a white Gouche for hightlights.

Bad quality materials are basically WORTHLESS, probably more than in any other medium with the exception of pastels.

I remember my first time working with watercolor, I bought some Daler Rowney Simply paint tubes and Canson Watercolor paper, but man, looking back on it that shit was atrocious and almost made me quit painting. Im being seriuos when i say that your shouldnt even buy them for a Child, might aswell give them a fucking crayon.

Are Cotman watercolor sets decent?
How many and what brushes would you recommend for starting?
>>
if someones plan is to just colour a drawing of an animu woman you can make do with midrange paints and unexpensive paper.
>>
>>6965744
Yeah Cotman is ok for starting actually.
At first just buy whatever brand of watercolor brushes you find. At the very least a big ass round or flat one for washes and a medium to small for details.

Paper > paint > brush

The truth is anon, you can do it. The only things holding you back are you and the things you choose to believe, really. If you do the work and stick to the plan, you can make it anon. Making it or not is all on you.

Not AI.
Not your genes or lack thereof.
Not your situation.
Not your IQ.

Do the work today, tomorrow, and the next day. Then keep going. Life is hard no matter what path you choose, so just get on with it already. Life is passing by, so live instead of passively drifting along.

I do far better, far more technically skillful, far more creative shit than this, with "appeal" even, and while I have gotten some positive reception, it's always been inconsistent and certainly not overnight. Porn really is ultra easy braindead retard mode. It's fine, it's fine. Say I'm coping if it helps you cope, but this is why you learn now to take shitter seriously. I pray for you soul if you do.

My art is getting to the point where I have an okay grasp on how to get the form down and understand the basics of value conceptually, but I'm totally fucked when it comes to color picking. I like Mucha and Alma-Tameda, but who else should I study or what should I do to try and improve my sense for color?

Learn color theory, if you have not done that already. I also suggest just stealing colors from photos and art you like. If you colorpick a shade of skin that you would not have used otherwise, it will expand your mind to the possibilities. Same with color combinations. You cannot really "steal" a color palette, so don't worry about that.

Am I literally too retarded to be an artist?
Whenever I sit down and try drawing I can't even do something as basic as foreshortening and drawing hair. My brain makes me get confused on basic details and construction. I legitimately can't even follow the Loomis guide. Let alone the fact that I have no idea what I want to draw and why. Whenever I try drawing, I just draw circles in my sketchbook until I get bored and look at my phone again.
I literally cannot comprehend any of the guides that anybody gives me and even when I do follow along, I have no I idea how to put it into praxis for things I actually want to draw. Nor can I actually bring myself to really sit down and try to fully comprehend them.

Hello hello, catanon again. You draw quick sketches in different positions to see which one looks best. Like I did here.
For this one I bought some wooden blocks for kids, placed them in different positions, and just shone a flashlight on them.

Also I haven't personally done a lot of negative space drawings myself but that's not a bad method. Get a PDF of Drawing on The Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. It'll teach you why you do negative space drawings, and also it'll teach you to shut your brain up and just fucking draw.

Nothing. Because I can't actually bring myself to do it other than just sitting and laying in my doing nothing.
