i was gonna do a full sketch, but anatomy and angles and 3d form is hard, how do i improve thanks
>>8079571nah i wanted feedback specific for this one in general the topic for that is different than that post as well
>>8077524
>>8079555Not worth its own thread. Follow board etiquette and post in the genral threads. In your case beg/intermediate.
>>8079765it is, it just gets flooded on there and ignored
>>8079555>>8077524
Draw this in your style, will post mine in a bit
pretty sure i made her forehead too big but unsure how to fix without fucking up the rest of her face
test
>>8072483>>8070772LMAO!>>8069541CUTE
>>8054290>mfw they draw on the drawing boardthe horror
What is the most egregiously bad (in terms of technical quality) drawing you've ever seen in your life? And do you have it saved?
>>8074682>>8074328YOU PEOPLE HAVE SEEN NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>8074312besides the cartoonish mega-dicks, i still laugh that the "artist" was able to draw a decent cartoon humanoid woman, and then stick her tail coming out of her upper-back. this was in 2018 so pre- sloppageddon. i really like this character and it's really hard to find art of her that isn't slop or doesn't turn her into a BBW (she's supposed to be an amazon-lite in canon)
>>8078977thats pretty funny considering its such a quick fix in digital and the artist was clearly decently skilled
>>8078977>>8079291Remember when Sakimichan gave her drawing 6 fingers pre AI?It's funny how skillful artists go into automatic mode and don't think about what they draw
>>8074312ANYTHING from the Dragonball Super Manga
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DRAW THIS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE HELP
>>8050604ratio
>>8050604Why are human legs ugly from the front? How to stylize so they look better?
>>8076197but they aren't
>>8067236>>8068455i mostly use plumb lines and reference/landmark points and directional lines between landrmarks to measure distance
>>8077224forgot to do that for her ear and forehead i see
>"drew for five years">he slacked off for five years and made no progress at allis this what all of you are doing
>>8078332He read my posts from last thread fucking boomer faggot.
I've been drawing and doing art for 7 years nowi haven't made much progress because i still can't decide what type of genre and art style to specialize ini just like drawing and making art and only doing one thing over and over is boringi could post my works, but that would exposed all the various profiles i currently have active
nodraw above
>>8078288I'm pretty happy with my 5-year improvement, not pictured because image too long.what about you now that 2026 is coming to an end?
>>8078288>>he slacked off for five years and made no progress at allhaha oops that is me

>>8079002Lol you shouldn't waste any time posting here then

>>8078916The roughness of the texture is what triggers that sickness feel or trypophobia, I think is interesting to look at , cool stuff. Maybe applying a chromatic neutral underpaint would solve that issue?
>>8079095Thanks. The roughness is a technical issue, I can't manage to produce an even coat of color with these oil pastels. I didn't realize that it was such a problem, I thought it gave a sort of pointillism feel.Hm... The undercoat is a good suggestion, but depending on its value, it would contrast either with the light areas or the darker ones, like my brown paper does... Guess I need to find a way to blend the colors better.Here's my previous attempt with this medium
>>8079185Damn looking back upon that one now it's a lot worse than I thought
I have been lurking the artbook thread for years but never had the courage to start drawing. I finally ordered a small display tablet as well as a trad sketchbook. I want to give it a shot. I really want to draw.I wonder though. How far can a hobbyist go? Is creating something like picrelated ever reachable? Where is the limit for someone who maybe draws 10 hours a week at a maximum?Source: shinovi master senran kagura new link illustration book
>>8079673it is bad. even i draw better.
>>8079720I mean that there's no case of anyone here getting that far in a year, regardless if they spend 10, 20 or 40 hours a weekif no one is getting those results, the whole concept is meaningless
>>8079660>>8079661>>8079680I see this is your thread. So I‘ll repeat myself from /asg/If this is really your first drawing then I don‘t think anime or art in general is for you. It legit looks like a 5 year old child drew this. Normally when you start out you already have an innate feel for form, perspective, shading and color. That just comes from decades of living to your adult life and „seeing“ things. Your innate feel is on the level of a kid. You „can“ develop this feel through practice but in your case it will NEVER get you to the level of your reference (if it‘s the level you want to reach).You will also never get to the level to draw hot anime girls or at least they will never look hot (more like weird). Maybe you could try to get into other arts like woodworking? It‘s not drawing, sry.
>>8079660>>8079661>>8079680Disregard that crab, with enough practice you can make it. This is normal beginner art pre-practiceganbare OP we can all draw sexy girls like /pro/s
>>8079680>>8079731Unironically better than my first drawing ever.
Currently learning all the basics like shading, anatomy, figure, gestures etc. but using real humans as /ic/ told me to. I guess my endgoal is to draw hot anime babes like the coomer I am. However, I am kind of turned off by digital drawing. I just love when you have a finished project that actually exists on paper as well as working with real materials. Is drawing hot anime babes feasible using traditional drawing or is it something that only really works digitally?
>>8071326because many pros can't draw without transform tools.
>>8071810Well yeah, if you want to go pro there is no reason to practice trad. I thought this whole thread was about hobbyism.
You literally can, dont listen to the beginner. You just need a clean color medium to mimic that digital look. I recommend acrylic or the acrylic gel pen(languo one), maybe marker. Source I do digital who converted to trad so I understand your frustration.
>>8071810don't be one of those "pros"it's very simple
If your question is about achieving clean digital look, you can do it with poster inks, however, it is infinitely harder to do such a look in analog.
It took 2 days for me to make this drawing, I posted all the evidence this is not AI, all AI-detectors pointed it is not AI, and just because I have only a few followers on Instagram people are accusing me of using AI to make this
>>8078725*gets an audience* *get questioned by people whomst actually worked for big name studios about what their process is*The AI user:
>>8078732>>8078734>>8078736Detection tools don't work, don retardo.Check out SynthID, it's the only proof you might have and even then it can be removed.
>>8079084If anyone asks about the process I can answer, but people only accuse >>8079096Imbecile, the SynthID detectors also give negative results for AI invisible watermarks as I showed here >>8078749 and here >>8078751
>>8079153>but people only accuseYeah because AI bros lie all the time. It’s only confident for them to say that art is over if it means they can sincerely con you into buying AI slop.
>>8079153what device did you use to draw?what art program did you use?
Why do 99% of artists absolutely suck at drawing hands? You'll probably draw hands as much as you draw faces (maybe even more, since most characters have two hands), so why do artists skipping studying them and complain they are hard to draw?I think ic should have a general just for hands, I find that almost everyone here struggles with them. [spoiler]It would probably get archived almost instantly cause people here don't like to work hard.[/spoiler]
>>8079455yeah it's just sad
>>8079455>not using the post as motivation to study handsngmi + forever stuck in hand hell
>>8079429i always notice this so i always focus on the hands and the feet (whenever i draw those) but instead i end up making them bigger than they should be
every single day of your life you look at your hands, you look at the hands of other people even without noticing so when someone draws hands poorly its something that is noticed immediately, which makes them intimidating
>>8079455This is a very good point. I feel this is just a reverse psychology thread to make people post their hand drawings and crab on them to demotivate them.
>you need to learn how to draw boxes and 3 dimensional shapes Ok I'll do drawab->NO under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do you EVER follow drawabox it will make you HATE drawing and teach you NOTHINGOk so what's the next best thing?
>>8069555Drawing 100 boxes isn't even a rounding error in terms of time investment. The drawing primitives in perspective part of drawabox is literally totally fine, it's all the later lessons that are soul destroying tedium. Or least they were like 9-10 years ago, I know he keeps fucking with lessons occasionally so I can't speak on the present state of it too much
Drawbox is good actually
>>8071848Are you from /x/
>NO under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do you EVER follow drawabox it will make you HATE drawing and teach you NOTHING>Ok so what's the next best thing?Eh, it's your decision what to learn from. Great artists and experts have expressed how great DAB was, and others have expressed how much they loath it and think it does budding artists no good (I'm in the latter camp).That said, take a look at it yourself; does it look like it'd do you good? Nobody can spoon feed you the right path to learning, especially with drawing. It's something that takes a self understanding and critical thought towards the materials you consume to do right, and even then you'll occasionally run into things that just don't gel with you.Just take what you need, and leave the rest.
>>8069627>Are they not important for construction?construction is like training wheels you slowly rely less and less on. No real artist builds full geometric mannequins, they'll eyeball a couple basic volumes, lines for limbs, and maybe the head will have a center line and one for the eyes, but that's it.That is, it's fine to learn to properly draw cubes and cylinders, and use them at the very VERY beginning, but it's something you should ideally grow out of sooner rather than later, so no point in spending 6+ months drawaboxing for a crutch that you shouldn't be using that long eitherway. Your best bet is to learn intuitively how to do proportions and draw the elements of the body to quickly stop relying on boxshit.
plz help
can somene post it pls
>>8077682How do I help you if you are 10x better than me
>>8079450im not that good bruh, lock i
>>8079459I have been locked in this whole year
>>8079467i need to start drawing again too damn, what a curse to be this lazy
is haven social the next artist platform or is it another bluesky. youtube keeps putting this in my feed but I don't know how anyone can support this it looks terrible
>>8079054>>8079356>"Oh, then I'd never join such a site">Proceeds to post their work on twitter, instagram, pixiv, etc.
>>8079392Pretty sure you can post loli and say nigger on twitter.
>>8079392Even if you couldn't say it, why switch. It comes with an equally tight or tighter straightjacket.Nah, I pass. I switch for more freedom, less harrassment and deboosting.
>>8079396>Pretty sure you can say nigger on twitter.Pretty sure you can't? At least, I've never once seen anyone do so, and me being here should show I'm not too concerned with people who would (and therefore avoiding such users on twitter).>why switch?Assuming they do much of what they're saying they're going to do:Less sloppaThey'll poison my work for meNo BS algorithms hiding my workThey'll actively avoid the censorious BS coming from Britain, EU, Australia, and some American states.And they'll be a new, less corporate site with less competition in its early days.Plus, we need an ACTUAL competitor to youtube. Because fuck youtube, and especially fuck google (or alphabet, or whatever they call themselves now.)Of course, I expect this to arrive with a plop, than aplomb, but we can be hopeful that it's half decent, can't we? No need to be pessimistic all the time.
>>8079424>I've never once seen anyone do soMost people aren't retarded enough to want or need to. But the search bar works, it gives many results.
I wonder if anyone else notices the error here; why are there so many illustrations with mistakes like this? The shoulders literally look like a board wood.
>>8078390it's coomslop, nobody is looking at the shoulders
>>8078390After you learn proper anatomy/proportions, you can just modify it with how you like it. In this case, gooning factor comes first.
>>8078599>gooning factor comes firstThat's to use for the event everywhere though
>>8078390When you're drawing porn your head loses a lot of bloodflow and it causes these kinds of mistakes.
>>8078390the position of the nipple is the real offender here
