How well can you draw a character from sheer memory? here is my attempt?
>>7967201https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flWuvkNWuS4
Good effort. This is a very good exercise to spend your time on.It's even better to do the exercise with somone else who is also trying to remember the character.It's the best way to patch up the holes in your Visual Recall ability.
>>7967201
>>7967201last thing i did from pure memory
>>7967201>How well can you draw a character from sheer memory?depends on the character but pretty okayish

ITT pencils only you like
>>7855796A single tombow pencil in my country costs 2 USD, the average daily wage here is 6 USD per day
>>7855796 I only use pencils to sketch so it doesnt really matter to me the quality of them >>7886316maybe because they're actually drawing>>7953381i never understand the mentality of peple buying expensive materials without knowing how to draw
>>7968187For day one prebegs who don’t know anything about drawing, it’s common to think that there’s a strong correlation between the quality of your materials and the quality of your art. They draw a simple line and it looks like shit, but they watch a streamer on youtube draw one line and it looks great, so they assume that the difference must be that the streamer has more expensive tools. So they splurge on everything they can. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable conclusion when you’re just starting out and don’t know anything, so I don’t really blame them.
>>7856949Same idea but the tiny pencils you get at a golf course are also good
>>7886316I've posted there and was immediately insulted. Not that other threads are any different tho.
General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.
>>7964282Love it, that looks so cool. What kinds of ships would they be?
>>7777680agree, I don't like wonky poses like this in art or photography, "durr its stylized", I prefer seeing the full object>>7779868Dope>>7820099oh damn thats a good idea>>7864197very Protoss>>7885472this i dig, make a lady mechheres a Kinetica bike lady
>>7717291lmao i can't believe this thread is still going. here's a big covie ship i'm working on, over twice the length of my previous ship but at one third of the scale. this one has seven decks.https://itaku.ee/images/1317896
good morning!
Does anyone else draw memes for practice?
>Xhey made itI kneel
>>7964793Fuck off Gabe!
I think Gabe is a pretty cool guy. Eh draws furries and doesn’t afraid of anything. :D
makes me happy seeing gabe make itwagmi
>>7964782man... how do you fellas keep up with those vapid trends. i don't even know what's going on in my own neighborhood...
I hate this stupid fucking cat.
feel like i havent improved at all during this year, and after a talk with my friend they said that i tend to revert to how i used to draw before.any recomendations of what to practice? where am i going wrong? and how to avoid the comfort zone pitfall? if you guys need more drawings to see my process ill happily provide them
>posts pornslop>y cant get better :((tard
>>7961204maybe draw real art LUL
>>7961418as in real people? ok, no problem man
improving fundamentals is easy enough. It's style that i'm lacking...
i have doing this as a study, working on measuring proportions, what do you guys think?
I had to drop my commission prices due to poor sales
>>7969010That sounds like the resident wacumguzzler
>>7969014Can't feel the same power from having machine make slop for you compared to another live human being dedicating hours to draw for you.
>>7968849BEFORE 2020 dude...
>>7969010I remember starting to seed the shit storm on that guy because i did his request but drawn extremely badly on purpose as to call him out on it when he would inevitably post the same request the following thread.
>>7969021You can still yell at ChatGPT and Grok for fucking things up and you can make them submit and apologize.
Ive been drawing furry art for 5 years and I'm getting sick and tired of drawing shitty fursonas and pokemon oc's fucking each other, my heart longs to create cool ass fantasy art like in the attached pic, but is there a market for this? or has ai killed the fantasy market?
>>7963168The wizard's eyes in this picture are perfect. They communicate so much.
>>7968812What do you see? I get arogance, and alarm.
>>7963168Fantasy book covers have look like shit related for like 20 years by now, I don't think it has anything to do with AI.The kind of thing Frazetta, Vallejo et al did, just isn't considered hip and trendy anymore. Book publishers probably have the data to prove it too. Yeah, AI could do a reasonable approximation of it, but the publishers still don't want it.
>>7964300>GD is just present day S&SGrimdark is about everyone being worthless shit-eaters and pretending medieval farmers had it 100 times worse than they actually did, S&S actually had good characters and was mostly about gigachad being heroic in varied locations, which never happens in grimdark.
>>7969144>which never happens in grimdark.Well yes, that is the way its supposed to work going by the general understanding of what grimdark is, just as you aptly described it and its nearly infinite amount of worthless shit-eaters and deluded farmers, its all about the bleakness and the outstanding capacity of man for cruelty and evil. 'In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war' is perhaps the most hellish and hope crushing a prospect there can be.I mean in my opinion theres a few things to consider here, the first one being that grimdark as a genre is much younger than S&S, then if we agree that it was WH40K that basically created the concept of GD we could also produce a similar argument about S&S namely, as it is an older genre, it also retains a lot more from classical storytelling structure, IE The hero's journey. Sure, S&S can still have stories overrun by morally absent/grey characters, horrific violence and hopelessness and yet the hero finds a way to overcome all these calamities and leave us with some kind of reflection or lesson in the end, or not.So where S&S is capable of telling an entertaining, gritty and dark yet optimistic and perhaps stoic story, GD goes the way of pure despair, despondency that spirals into cemented nihilism, despite the most valiant of efforts, it is all futile. It is this quality that I look for the most, specially the ones that play with cosmic horror as there rarely is something as dread inducing as the type of unknown it tends to portray, but the type of 40k derivative grimdark is far more abundant imo. I'm yet to read the Moorcock's Elric books and the black company by Glen Cook, not so clear on what to tackle with comics and manga though but there must be a whole lot.Apologies beforehand for the extensive 'theatre kid speech', Im just turboautistic and cannot turn it off, hence why I try to make conversation in this mongolian basket weaving forum.

Which exercises would you recommend to help with improving the feeling of the form? Knowing the principles is one thing, but actually drawing is another, what worked for you?
>>7969345>Your reasoning doesn't make any sense anyway.No I made plenty of sense that wasn't even owed. Your defensiveness over posting your art on the board is what doesn't make sense. You really have only ever drawn loli hentai so you can't post anything? Am I really expected to believe that? Please. There's no way to tell you aren't talking out of your ass as a "/nodraw/" as >>7969309 pointed out.And I was already suspicious when you said "You always have to look up" If you had experience in the matter, you'd understand that you can set up still lives to where you don't have to look up. You can even set it up where you can glance without moving your head. Even I know something so basic. So if you don't, what do you know?
>>7969345Drawing from life is the best way to improve at drawing. It’s really not a debate.
>>7969309>>7969366You got me.
>>7969372I hope one day you draw a lot and you can back up what you're saying. We still love you

>practicing drawing for about a year>haven't notably improved, but at least feel like I'll get somewhere eventually>left some sketches on the living room table on accident>"Wow anon, cute drawings. Did you make these in Middle School?" - my cousinAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHH. She said it with zero malice, it was 100% genuine. I couldn't even respond from the realization of how horrible I still am. I want to fucking quit.Have any of you ever experienced this dreadful moment in your liveS?
>>7967237The complete and utter abject humiliation of a genuine comment. Nothing stings quite like it, well, perhaps when you're in a group of people and everyone's calling everyone ugly and retarded but then they say you're smart and pretty. Lmao.
>>7967237>I couldn't even respond from the realization of how horrible I still am.You should have just responded honestly. You didn't draw before, you've only somewhat recently picked it up, you're still not good yet.Seriously guys, there's no shame in not being good at something when starting out. I think as adults, we place waaay too much expectations on ourselves in this regard.
>>7967237Just say that you want to fuck your cousin anon
>>7967237Please post your art so we can laugh at you as well.
>>7967237normies think adults draw like adults and children draw like children. But the truth is adults draw like children, and most normies cannot handle the mental anguish of trying their hardest at something and it being no better than a childs because they haven't practiced.
