>go to gesture site>weird, stiff, unnatural poses that are boring why? why is it so tough to find one where they just load up images of athletes, dancers, random people in a natural state, or something fun? i know pinterest exists but the image quality is low and you either have to scrape boards or save stuff individually
>>8063904>i do not pirouette when i grab something off a shelf.Why the hell not?
>>8071559I go barefoot and that shit fucks with my soles for hours
op herehttps://gesturedraw.com/draw/humanfigure/ is pretty good, has some fucked up crazy poses but a ton of natural ones too
It's actually amazing what a colossal filter gesture is
Draw this in your art style
>>8069705>>8069725Thanks !
>>8069641Feels more Mignola than Miller, not that you were probably trying to imitate either.Nice job though.
>>8073646Actually I was going for a Mignola thing so thanks!
Nice art work trannies
Art is the one of the things I am very good at, but do I really just have to commission or freelance? I've been doing art for years, but doing the usual which is trying to find jobs on linked in or indeed or cara doesn't seem to work, what do I do guys? I need advice

By becoming a sigma male/female
Step 1: Research the "Art" job you want to do. Look for job listings for specific "Art" jobs, see what they want. Learn the things that you dont know listed in the job description. Maybe thats blender, toonboom, MS Paint, whatever.Step 2: Make a portfolio based on the job listing and similar peoples portfolios who have that job. Step 3: Apply for job where they appear. Research the company, tailor portfolio and CV to them. Keep applying to different similar jobs until you get a response. Also apply for jobs that maybe arn't exactly what you want, but are still in a creative field and have elements of what you want to do. Maybe thats a graphics job but you get to make some illustrations every now and again, or working in a print shop and you can learn how to make cool prints for a future project.Step 4: Interview, maybe art test (treat the art test like you would treat job and dont half ass it.). Step 5: A) Get the Job. B) Dont get job, start again from step 1.Repeat forever, get that salary and try to get a bigger salary next job.
Being an artist in [current year] is like being a content creator. Where do you apply to become a YouTuber? You don’t. You just create the job yourself.Draw nsfw, open a Patreon and get big on social media. It's the best you can do as an artist right now.
>>8076398if you're genuinely that good then the best route is probably porn. find a weird niche that you enjoy, and draw for it. but otherwise -- just speaking from anecdotes i've read -- the professional art world is insular and nepotistic. you can be the greatest artist in the world but gaming companies, animation/design studios, etc. places that employ artists will always look to a pool of people they're familiar with before they even halfway think about employing someone outside of that. and there are just so so many artists out there besides
READ ME its just a sketch for now ill make it better later !!enjoy>:3
>>8076789gonna buy first vol :3
>>8076789the tall one is VERY hot UwU
>>8076789hold on where should i start
>>8077268Tbh I'm not that familiar with the visual novels or the manga, despite reading a little of both. I only watched the anime and OVAs (Which I recommend). But I think you can just search the read order online and you'll figure it out.
>>8077367thx
https://youtu.be/_NAYAxOpfgs?si=xkTcfHCnpqy9NWhgWait a minute, how did this nigga learn to draw this good? Where did he find the time between playing basketball, writing a rap song, and robbing a convenience store? I've been drawing for nearly 2 decades and I'm nowhere near this good.
>>8071631You are just not good enough yet, wait until it is 12 quote RTs at a time it gets messy.

>>8073008No, Thank YOU anon! It's hard to engage in feedback in this site, so thank you for your kind words!Is that your work? It looks like PRO stuff.Here you have another scary season cutie on picrel.
1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)Previous thread: >>7989408
You know her already. Decided to add her a nice character card as well as redesihning her two loyal celtic ghost people from Ireland and Scotland; Liam and Fiona, respectively. She is the deuteragonist (maybe) of my story. Good gals with Clémence and the main character. She is part of the 4 rails team and she pilots a flying train, because, why not. She has a copy of a magical sword, the Durandal although modernozed and a modified Famas rifle.>>8072686Sorry for taking too long answering, these days were horrible. Glad you liked it, looks like an Eva unit for me. Cool robo. If you want, you can try your luck with Marchelle and her ghost duo or my other OCs, here.>>8058308>>8057523

I took a long break from drawing (around 1–2 months) and came back to it today. Ive noticed that my drawing ability hasn't regressed, since I mostly did observational drawing before. (Ill admit that I'm much better at copying drawn objects and things than drawing from life) So, I'd say my strongest skill is copying.On the topic of 3D space, what's an alternative to Drawabox? I took that course around January this year, but I didn't feel like the lessons were sticking with me, so I quit due to a lack of improvement. It's not that I got tired of it. One of my goals is to be able to draw like the OPs image
>>8069208I don't want to tear you down but your copies are good but not quite there, if you're nearing proficiency with copying by eye then a simple drawing like this would take 10 minutes or so
>>8070241If you dont mind, Id like to see the process you go through when copying a drawing. I know it might sound tedious, but id really benefit from seeing your process if you dont mind sharing it.
>>8070241>10 minslame ass shitposter lmao
>>8069409this
>>8070331nta but here's what I like to do:>meaningful tracing (break down the reference into simple shapes) followed by drawing from memory>flip the reference and make an upside down copy>blind contour (draw while only looking at the reference)>spend 30 seconds looking at the reference, then draw from memory (hide the ref), then take out the ref and make a copy, repeat and compare resultsDAB is really bad for getting the hang of 3D space because it forgets that most beginners tend to suck at thinking in 3D to start with. If you want to develop your 3D thinking skills, you need to do things that force you to do so:>play video games>make simple forms and sculptures with plasticine clay>play a ball sport>ride a bike
Hard Round brush thread please I need this. Especially if you anything saved with cooler tones and colors.
>>8076896Good heavens
>>8076747>>8076759ok got it you’re just here to shit up the thread>it's not HRB if it's HRB but the artists intends to do something with it afterwardsyeah and a drawing of a car isn't a drawing of a car if I want to draw a boulder over it later. speaking of cars, they aren't actually cars since at some point they will be decommissioned and become not-carsanyways here's my 3-years-old hrb painting of you (you are the lower ones to the right because you're not even good enough at being thread shitters to be the main crab - though crabs eventually stop being crabs so maybe it's more fair to call them indeterminate soil particles instead?)

>>8080344>when did I do thatnvm, just some retard in the thread confusing people. It's the downside of an anonymous board.
>>8080241>A 15 minute study triggers him this muchSee you later girly-tinkler.
>>8080331lol I think you're right. Extended the canvas, drew the rest of the hair so I could add his other leg. I think this works better
>>8080364That reads better to me. I thought he only had one leg lol.

>learn fundamentals and draw realism using Western books like Keys to Drawing, Science of Drawing, Perspective Made Easy, Loomis, Vilppu, Rendering by Scott, Color Theory etc. etc.>copy your favorite artists using manga and anime artbooks>really deconstruct their art and understand what is happening, form, proportions, lines, shading, expressions etc.>check your progress by drawing without reference and making your own original anime art>supplement your studies with Japanese How-To books from E-Hentai or the /asg/ github>remember these books don‘t teach you how to draw anime but they teach you how to draw in the style of the How-To books, so only pick one that you like and fits your own goal of what you want your anime drawings to look lineThis is what I have gathered from reading DOZENS of archived /ic/ threads on how you actually learn anime. It‘s so difficult because everyone is advising something different.Feel free to critique my roadmap or add to it.
>>8075798Copy your favorite Japanese works.Do master copies from memory(even old Western masters did this)???Profit
>>8075881>>8075869>>8075798>>8076200I feel what a lot of people are missing from the "how to draw anime" discussion is that all anime is rooted in Tezuka's work, which was a combination of Disney cartoons, cinematic paneling borrowed from Western movies, and comic strips. Every big mangaka who came immediately after Tezuka copied his art, and their successors collectively copied their art while taking in new influences from Europe. Tezuka also made the "first" anime! Anime cannot be divorced from animation either.If you want to get better at drawing anime...study Disney cartoons and comics. Animate! Copy your favorite manga art. This is how all mangaka do it.
>>8076389>Disney cartoons, cinematic paneling borrowed from Western movies, and comic strips>If you want to get better at drawing anime...study Disney cartoons and comics.WE WUZ KANGZ!!!
>>8075798>>learn fundamentals and draw realism using Western books like Keys to Drawing, Science of Drawing, Perspective Made Easy, Loomis, Vilppu, Rendering by Scott, Color Theory etc. etc.no japanese artist does this btw
>>8076902What's with the western obsession of trying to find clever ways to sidestep doing the actual thing they supposedly want to do? It should sound absurd on the face of it.>>8075798>This is what I have gathered from reading DOZENS of archived /ic/ threads on how you actually learn animeYou almost never see anything even approaching the ballpark of proper Japanese anime made by posters of /ic/. Really makes you think...
seeing this tweet really pissed me off because the drawing is so ugly but somehoe has way more SOVL than my art ever will i really dont understand how they did that
>>8076342i honestly think noobs should spend as much time as they want on their first few drawings in general, not just gesture. do it a billion times if you have to. get it right, see it through
>>8076327this is actually pretty good for an inexperienced drawing. They're able to see the important curves and forms of a body. They also kept everything proportional. That alone puts them in the top 90th percentile.
What the fuck are you rambling about? You sound like an absolute fucking retard. Just draw.
>>8076334And what they're going to respond here?
>>8076420why are you even on this board if such a simple comment pisses you off this much? pyw and go draw
Lmao
I think it's the paper's fault
soul soulless
He improved, but the cum on her face still looks wrong

>>8076651full frontal is hard to draw well. Even photography makes you look like a criminal.
How do I improve
kozeki?
By drawing something other than featureless mannequins fighting.
Work on your wonky head size (also drawing skulls from imagination is a good exercise), study the skeleton for landmarks and fitting your shapes better, develop your figures with tone and anatomy.Pick your poison:https://online-courses.club/nma-art-dynamic-gesture-drawing-by-glenn-vilppu/https://archive.org/download/nma-figure-drawing-with-karl-gnasshttps://online-courses.club/visualarium-artistic-anatomy-with-rey-bustos/
Also check out hogarth just cuz it's aesthetic and dimensional as fuck. See if the constructions and how he uses tone and contour inspires you in your forms.
