>>5321680I don’t recommend drawing crossaints. They always end up looking like poop.
>>5321672okay seems like you don't deem anatomy necewssary, please post your work so anon has something to strive for otherwise he will uhm....
Where's a good guide for drawing hands? I don't like having to stare at a unappealing stand-in while I work on other art things.
this is fucking boring. I don't want to do any more
>>5321686It is me again >>5321635, it is ok, I will keep practicing proportions and gestures while keeping an eye for anatomy. I'm gonna sleep now, fuck.gonna ask the same question from before if it is not annoying.>>5321674
>>5321694follow the 7 head rule as an idea of the proportions at least
>>5321693>leaves out the hardest part>"this is boring"Suuuuuuureeee
Let's see you draw Secret Squirrel on model.
fuck me I can't even use references correctly. maybe I should go back to grinding fundies... fuck
>>5321698I don't mean boring by too easy, I mean boring as in boring and I have deadlines to meet. how do you guys put yourself through this
You want to know where the light source is? Come back when you have enough rupees
>>5321706
>>5321708So you're just gonna post my old art at me now huh
>>5321680>inb4 chicken scratch
Working on drawing circles, while following Brent Evistons class. I think i've got the drawing lightly thing figured out but my circles kinda come out bad. Its like every time I rotate my shoulder the circle comes out a different way than i intended it. Its like I have no control and I dont feel like im anywhere close to gaining it.
>>5321713Also these are my ellipses that I drew as well.
reposting this, need some critique before I move onto shading
A study.is there any reliable way to paint soapsuds on skin?
>>5321713I was having a hard time on traditional and just understood what Loomis said, the circles dont need to be perfect, just solid enough where you can build a head from, after all that circle will be gone by the end of the drawing
>>5321694>basic landmarksthat's like asking if being a good person will grant you happiness or a good life, knowing landmarks is just the very beginning, and they won't carry you even through the mid begtier stuff, for example knowing that the body should be around 8 heads, okay what if your angle has the head size different from what it should be what if the head is hidden or you are foreshortening, see that's what i mean, basically the more you know the better, i don't think you need to memorie every muscle to draw something that doesn't look awful but your current idea of what could be enough is not remotely realistic
>>5321713>>5321716>he draws circles as an exercisewow anon, at this point jerking off to well drawn anime porn would contribute more to becoming a good artist than thatwhat the fuck
>>5321717what happend at the face
>>5321705by just drawing, also not having else to do>>5321713nice circles man keep it up, keep doing circle 3 more months before you try some figure drawing, dont rush it bro
>>5321713draw a face first.
>>5321726Youre either crabbing or retarded. Im taking a fucking class to improve my art. Whatre you doing aside from critisizing someone else. Get a life.
>>5321717bottom half of legs are way too long and that hand grabbing the fabric is awkward as fuck. face is unappealing — you are polishing a turd. Close the canvas and move on
>>5321717Just finish it
>>53216804 minute practice>inb4 need more brigdman boxes or whateverseriously tho fuck bridgman, his books are full of horrible squares
I am a fake and a fraud, but at least I finished this piece
>>5321735>Youre either crabbing or retarded.Maybe I am both, have you thought of THAT sherlock?>Im taking a fucking classBoy I hope you are not paying for the privilege of getting told to draw circles.>to improve my artReally? Post some of your art then. No, circles do not count btw.>Whatre you doing aside from critisizing someone else. Get a life.Your feelings appear to be hurt by the truth :^)
>>5321753Go Go Gadget arm!
Can I get painting/rendering advice? Have a long way to go with drawing too obviously but when i get to this part I'm completely lost and am just putting darker colours wherever
>>5321756>Maybe I am both, have you thought of THAT sherlock?>The restI thought about actually responding to your questions but im not in the profession of explaining things to people with learning disabilities.
>>5321709silly
>>5321771You should use a different color and darker value for those cast shadows
>>5321766DAMN, my nigga. You just grasping at straws now crab.
>>5321753Gomu gomu no!
>>5321753She got a LONG ASS arm
>>5321771silly>>5321715good
>>5321713just a bunch of circles
>>5321801Youre right its nothing compaired to your picture of Will Smith. How did you get it to look so photo realistic??? It mustve taken you ages.
>>5321790>>5321801Shut up retard
>>5321787kek
>>5321713They look alright and you seem to get the gist of it.Try to draw them on a lined table so you have an actual goal with their size and position like you would in a real drawing.>>5321731>>5321801retards
>>5321805don't be silly
>>5321713Keep at it bro, make sure you're doing all of the homework brent assigns and more, it's worth it
>>5321713circles is fine but instead of just practicing circles you should be mixing circles and Elypses to train spheres.
>>5321818For sure. Not sure if you noticed but I did post some elipses too, i replied the elipses image to the circles post.
>>5321812>posting circles for critique>not retardedwhat the fuck manalso pyw
>>5321822nono I mean mix them both instead of separating them, either way good workout anon
>>5321824post your circles
>>5321826post your knees

does anyone have good book or resource on water color painting
>>5321849He's still randomly posting my art since I blocked him on Twitter
>>5321756post pyw
>>5321850I heard that Charles Reid's book is a good resource.
>>5321850https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC8BjDleMFNvnikjAI6GdBPghis gumroad has a tutorial series on watercolors as well
>>5321864>gumroadain't paying for that crap
>>5321869it's like 5 bucks total, you spend more on half a plate of tendies
>>5321863>>5321864thx
>>5321873not even one cent>>5321874and you a sucka for falling for it

bebsi man
>>5321883pyw fag
>>5321719lots of transparent circles of varying opacity with white outlines/gradient fogginess to represent the angle changing and becoming more opaque (kind of like why the atmosphere is different looking in the distance vs just above) also breaking up the suds to some smaller bits when doing pure white foam instead of big globs, since it dribbles and sprays
>>5321883But I have 2000 followers
>>5321857post my work and get flocked by a bunch of autists that unironically start calling others crabs for pointing out drawing mindless circles is a hilarious waste of time?i dont want shizos from this thread recognizing my style and following me around - you will have to judge my opinion without being able to ridicule my skill or lack thereof
Anything i could do to improve my heads?
>>5321883Remember what you said when you’re jerking off to my dragon quest doujins in 5 years >>5321890>>5321895No I don’t want to see his work
>>5321895Hitler had lots of followers too
>>5321898So you're all talk then. Moving on then! Next!
>>5321901And he was loved by millions
>>5321901Not surprising you said that since you have drawn the jp imperial flag
>>5321900Idk what that is but rember me when you get called out on national tv for being a furry
>>5321906>>5321907Just kidding chill I love hitler
>>5321900>No I don’t want to see his workWho?
>>5321908Pretty sure you're just spamming the thread with random crap now since you don't want fo draw. Posting my shit randomly and arguing with yourself wont make you happy
are exercises like this worth anything if i want to learn how to render stuff and paint better? im basically just using gesture practice but trying to reduce it to two values as quick as possible
>>5321693Yours turned out a lot better than mine. Look at this fuckin Igor-ass head.
>>5321890I did >>5321745>>5321712
was a bit tired of doing Loomis spheres so I tried a head with them and just wondering, how do you usually build the chin and how much space should a nose really occupy on the face?
>>5321913Absolutely. Break some down into 2 values, some of them into 3, some of them into 5 etc.
So have any of you done Peter hans dynamic sketching course? What did you think of it? I’m having trouble with the overlapping shapes part
>>5321912Yeah you should make a 4 Eva mega beg ngmi general so this stops being a shit show
>>5321934why did you judge me
>>5321934Someone who needs 500h of circles
>>5321941Because you keep spamming the thread.
Working on my first oil painting. Was feeling discouraged but it came a long way today and I’m starting to like it. Very new to painting, this is only my second one so I have a shit ton to learn.

>>5321957Bold and trashpilled
>>5321899Looks better than 99% of the work posted in these threads so we have no advice to give
>>5321934I did, and I recommend it all the time because it's a good course, as for your shaped you're suppose to draw them 'passing through' rather than 'sticking to' eachother
>>5321957Belongs in the trash
>>5321967Oops I forgot they were supposed to pass through, thanks
>>5321766>>5321787>>5321789You guys could've laughed at the arm yesterday :(

I drawer my first cube today how long until I can get commissions I am neet
>>5321703Why did you use those circles for the eyes? We know there are eyeballs under the eyelids, but that is not the shape we see in the reference.

opinions?
>>5322152por qué está así la niña?
>>5322155huerfana sin hogar
>>5322158qué pena!But to point out a few mistakes:The shadow in the forehead makes it look like the hat is loose, which is not the case since it is applying pressure to the hair on the sidesYou didn't connect the neck with the upper body and the cloth is not taking the shape of the shoulders properlyThe hand implied underneath the cloth is good but you should imply the arm as well, otherwise it just looks flatEyes are a bit too big for my liking as well and the tips of the eyelashes are too round
>>5322175Really appreciate all the observations anon!
>>5321893Thanks!
These are both a year apart, what should I be focusing on? I feel like I haven’t improved at all
>>5321885Not buff enough.
I really need advice guys. Each time I get a line wrong, I want to punch myself - and I often do. I just don't understand why I can never get it right. No matter how much observing, no matter how many passes, it's always wrong, and I never feel good doing this.Each new drawing drains my mood and self assurance with alarming potency. How the fuck do you get past this?
>>5322225Nobody is perfect
>>5322229which is why you can't rely on anyone but yourself
>>5322225we all have those days anon, i usually left the draw unfinish and only check it a few days later, fix some thing, repeat. In the mean time i start with something else.
>>5322225In your case, medication. Sounds like you have mental health issues if you legit punch yourself over something so trivial.
>>5322225No one has to see all the garbage you draw, just remember that you grind to look like a god when the time comes to show the world. It's easy to get frustrated, take a break, clear your mind, then when you're ready come back and do some easy studies.
>>5322245Not really an option unfortunately, I'm kind of on my own as far as anything health related goes. I just have to live with my pain, and sadly that includes the abuse.
>>5322255I have to see it though
>>5322259that's fine, you're witnessing your own growth, as ugly as it is sometimes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7JG63IuaWs
>>5322263If anything I'm witnessing my own deterioration. I used to be able to do full full figures, with rendering and color, and have it all look pretty good. I put it away for a while, and now I can't even figure out the basic forms of the torso. It doesn't make any sense. I'm better than this. What happened to all those hours I grinded out before? Why do I suck so much more now than I ever have before?
>>5322276I've felt this way many times before, you'll get over it in time. You probably haven't gotten worse, this is a psychological problem.
>>5322280Honestly, everyone says not to compare yourself to others, but no one mentions how painful it can be to compare yourself to your past self. Stop improving for just one second, and you risk falling into a pit of shame you can never escape from.How can you forgive yourself for all the time you wasted not drawing? How do you cope with the fact that the years are just passing you by, and you have progressively less and less to show for it? I need to be good, at least as good as I was, otherwise I'm nothing. I have nothing. I've lived an empty life, and I can't allow myself to be bad at the one thing that used to bring me joy, even if it only brings pain right now.
>>5321706This has at least 3 light sources if it even has coherent lighting
>>5321771Steal someone elses colors by copying a couple of their works, also watch some videos explaining stuff. If this guy is not supposed to look like a ghost, make the shadows a bit warmer and more saturated
>>5322288make peace with lost time or suffer, we all die eventually.
>>5322296And if I die tomorrow, I'll be surrounded by drawings I'm not happy with. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

>>5322433shape too complex for me. end up moving things in photoshop and still not quite here
>>5322203Anon. For a year, I really don’t see improvement at all. I’m not trying to shit on you. The brush strokes in top left are more interesting, but the bottom right’s use of lighting is slightly better. How long did these take you?

God I hate how I'm drawing right now, Every one is so thick and they have frog faces, And I dont know why. I was drawing people with long skinny faces before and slender bodies not too long ago.>Change it retardI'm trying but for some reason I can only draw people like this
>>5322511Like how the fuck did I go from this to that?
>>5322511>>5322513Have you ever studied anatomy and proportions before?
>>5322517I do construction lines and shit, and I've drawn realistic before I just dont like how long it takes and how hard it is to express emotions.
>>5322511>I was drawing people with long skinny faces beforjust stretch picture up.I do not think it's worse.in some aspects it marginally better. Silly marks on the shirt is unnecessary

>>5321712B-built for bbc?
>>5321719i've nutted to the image you referenced
What can I do differently? I hate how smudgy the shading looks. Please don't comment on the face, the size was too small for me to get it better.Would drawing on larger than a4 help in more areas?
>>5322925reference
>>5322925There isn’t a single critique that will help you, unfortunately. Everything is bad. I think you should aim to do 20 of these every single day for a month before you come back. Spend at least 15 minutes on each study. Once you do that, pick up an art instruction book and very carefully and thoroughly study it
>>5322513hate to break it to you man, but both of those are equally bad. you need to study more perspective and anatomy
>>5322925Don't eyeballing the entire drawing.

>>5322925this makes me very uncomfortable
>>5322974> feeling uncomfortable helps you to live longer.
I'm a TTRPG nerd and my players asked me to draw a thing that happened in the game.
>>5322925I actually like your style and I think you have potential, keep drawing! Remember that shadows just as everything else need structure. Look closely at them: there's a point where they're darker until they start going to their lightest shade. Don't abuse the smudging technique and try to use more pencils to render your drawing. To pull off this style you should have at least: H, 2B, 4B and 8B. Keep going, bro, you have potential!
>>5323001Cool. Mid-int
First 100, 300 or more so to go. Are some looking fine at least?

>>5322932>>5322943>>5322974>>5323002thanks for the crits. I'll work on my accuraccy before continuing with shading further.I swear, I used to be better at this, but i deff need some work

What tablet should I get if I just started getting into drawing about a year ago? My only experience with digital art is using Tegaki with a mouse over on /i/. Paper scares me cuz you can't go back if you make a mistake, so I avoid using it. Will buying a tablet automatically make my art not cringe?
>>5323188xp pen deco 01 (vanilla or the "v2" version, doesnt matter) is the best tablet in existence hands down. does not matter if you are a beginner, you cant get a cheaper one (except terrible previous gen literal garbage) and as a professional you dont need anything bigger or better. you can start with it and keep it way until you GMI

Can a perspectivechad help me with this? Horizon line is very low but all vertical lines are converging upwards, so I guess this is 3 point perspective? But if that's so where the hell are the VP's on the horizon line? Horizontals don't seem to be converging anywhere.
>>5323368But then again I now notice that since it's not a corner of a building I don't know if it's really a 3 point perspective. But if it isn't then can the VP be above the horizon line? Or am I wrong with assuming the horizon line is at the bottom?

I did a thing.I didn't learn much from it.It looks somewhat pleasant to the eye (ignoring the fact that most of it is mirrored). What now?
>>5323522i like it but if you posted some unmirrored stuff i would probably like it more
>>5323523Fair point, I expected that. Maybe I'll have something better next time.

Rate my noses. Ctrl paint says a good way to get better at something you suck at, is to do 100 of em. So I’m doing that.
>>5323538Twitter is a void, if you want something substantial then work on actual projects instead of twitter ads.
>>5323555symbol drawing the same two and a half nose variations will not lead to improvementstudy actual noses from actual 3d human beings and while you are at it include a simplified head shape around each nose so you learn to place it correctly onto a 3d head
What is wrong with my heads?
>>5323588needs more loomis.Try copying his heads first
Any advice on improving this? I’m pretty bad at loomis so it got a bit out of whack. I should probably try to improve the expression as well
>>5323588I'm no expert, but if I had to say, it looks like you're putting down lines without really knowing why they should be where they are. Also your linework needs some serious work (aka: make sure you can draw lines, curves and S shaped curves before actually drawing anything). Also, are you using the mouse to draw? You might want to invest in a drawing tablet. As a side note, you can also try using a stabilizer/some kind of smoothing, assuming the software you're drawing on has that.
>>5323588Jesus christ man, first work on line quality, being able to draw 2D shapes, then 3D shapes, then understanding form and then you can start thinking about faces. Don't skip steps.
>>5323588Are you drawing with a mouse?
>>5323588Too much frenzy
>>5322503“Ignore the anon”. Fine, let him stagnate then. Crab shit
>>5323588Is that hair lmao
>>5323605>Im pretty bad at Loomisthen just get better at it. Tho this doesn't look bad, I think the eye position and mouth are not well aligned
>>5323605The expression makes my pee pee stiff, don't change it.
>>5323605Not bad. Hard to say what needs improving just from a quick glace. Maybe the nose needs a bit more work?
>>5323605check that the brow line, eyeline, base of nose and mouth follow a set of parallel lines in perspective
>>5323588i hate crabs but cmon man
>>5323631Adjusted itI’ll keep it like this then
>>5323648left eye is melting down into her check and the right eyes is way smaller
>>5323648L2stack
>>5323648Looks better but the chin looks somewhat flat, idk how to explain it, it lacks depth going down the neck line
>>5323662>mikey memega>telling others to learnyeah this is core beg
>>5323668I don’t know who drew it and I don’t care I just googled “anime girl tilting head back” and it spat out a good reference image for op to understand what anime heads look like in perspective
>>5323670>I don’t care I just googledthis is gigabeg. don't give advice
Here. How stiff does the pose look and how make it less stiff?I don t know how to properly draw her crotch area.How well feet/hands are made?
>>5323664Yeah the underside too probably because no overlapping but it’s fine for now, I’ll just try to do more practice with new drawings after I color this tomorrow >>5323662Helped a bit with the eyebrows, I should’ve known that
>>5323670>doesn't even know/care what is telling others to learn
>>5323672>don’t Google images to understand anything you don’t know just sit there and keep drawing the wrong thing repeatedlyok good luck with your technique
>>5323674symbol draw my life into pieces this is my last copy
Anyone has tips on balancing the studying and practise ratio?Let's say I make 10 pages of heads from fun with a pencil, how many heads should I try to do on my own?.I drew Michael Hampton gesture drawings of the first chapter, how many should I do from Line of action?I'm doing Vilppu dynamic drawing videos but not sure if it's effective unless I try sme different from myself.I like drawabox because they specifically tell you no to grind and just do the stuff they tell you to do, but when I'm alone and I can't do something right I don't know to discern between lack of practise or lack of knowledge, most of the time I'm reading books and doing tutorials, but when I'm alone I freeze and I just make a bunch of disasters, any recommendations?
>>5323689These are things you draw your whole life unless you quit
First time ever posting on here tell me what you guys think also I dont really like digital very much, just paper mainly. I like painting as well but in not sure if this would be the right place for those but let me know if youre interested
How the fuck do I draw animal snouts? Specifically canine and at an angle. Every resource I see when I search is furry shit which I don't want.
>>5323679do you have your work posted somewhere?
>>5323605Here's how I would kind of fix it fast, but I'm just a beg.
>>5323692
>>5323705Good attempt>>5323704Yeah in /beg/
>>5323692>I dont really like digital very muchHow come? Digital art has quite a few conveniences that paper based art doesn't have.>>5323701Do you fear becoming a furry or is it just pure hatred? I don't think it's the worst idea to learn from them when it comes to drawing animal parts.
>>5323712nowhere outside of /beg/?
>>5323716I dunno I can't quite get the hang of it plus I've been doing physical my whole life
>>5323717If you really know then @KatsuneiSenpai on twitter is my SFW art blog
>>5323716Neither, their guides are just shit.
>>5323719Fair enough.>>5323726That's a shame. I thought they might have something of use, what with all the money these guys get for commissions and whatnot.
>>5323691I mean, more specific, yeah daily practise, but how uch should I follow along books and tutorials and how much should I do stuff alone?I mean, I did the whole Fun with a pencil and then tried to do some stuff alone and found out I can't think on shit by myself.Either I have aphantasia or I'm a very insecure person with little imagination.
>>5323746>I have Aphantasia Kek don't start this blaming brain disease shit. Reality is that your visual library is very small because you are a beginner and this goes for almost every other beginner on earth. We draw from reference almost daily because we need to learn what these things look like before trying to draw them from imagination If you really want some number then do 50/50 reference to imagination. Personally I do like 70% reference 30% imagination
>>5323588Not enough effort
Hello, i want to get good at perspective, and foreshortening for complex shapes like people.How do i do that?I know how basic perspective but struggle with humans
>>5323689Just the fact that you think of learning in terms of volume especially this early on says a lot about your poor learning practices.
>>5323758Draw the figure then use boxes to correct the perspective
>>5323588Anon, you have two working eyes and you drew this.
>>5323762fuck this made me audibly laugh
I'd like to make a simple space game.I'm trying to learn how to paint spaceships (really shitty, basic, spaceships).This is something I can now create in like half an hour, no reference (no shit). Is it any good?I believe it somehow resembles a spaceship. And I sort of like how it looks.But I'm so shitty at judging my own creations. One day it looks good, then I look at it again the next day and it looks like utter shit. Welp...
>>5323773And of course I saved is a a jpg, hah.
>>5323785>>5323785>>5323785
>>5323773Looks like a helmet with cat ears.What are a ship's main elements? If you don't want wings then you have to play up other aspects to imply it's a flying vehicle, like a cockpit and making the thrusters more obvious.
>>5323723do you do commissions?
>>5323795Ya
>>5323802whats your rates?
>>5323773Also, I tend to make everything too fucking flat when it's from a top-down view.Is there any quick cure for that?It really drives me up the fucking wall.
>>5323806You can just message my nsfw twitter if you really wanna know, kinda random to ask here
>>5323759What's that supposed to mean? counting my pages to see how much I practise is a bad habit? If so, please name some "good learning practises" please, if they exist and I could make my learning more efficient, then I'll be more than happy to do them.
>>5323878Have an actual goal with your learning and iterate over your mistakes, you aren't learning anything if you are just grinding the same wrong things over and over without thinking for the sake of hitting a quota.
>>5323938I want to draw juicy anime girls porn
>>5323053what makes you say that? >>5323139I appreciate the compliment anon! Thank you so much I've been insecure for my work for years and just wanted to hear some input from others as opposed to the usual "needs work" or "could be better" kind of line
>>5323139Jesus.
i'm i doing good? when will i be able to draw without a reference? i don't understand how an artist would draw the image i mark with a star without a reference
>>53216801 week
