This is a thread for /beg/s and /int/s (there is no /adv/) to share and discuss art.
man, this is pathetic for 4 months practice lmaojust something i drew at work from imagination idk
No problem, right guys?Time to color and some extra bg i guessDon't fuck it upDon't fuck it upDon't fuck it up
>>7144383Is this even that bad for 4 months? Drawing is bullshit hard and it's a complex scene with multiple figures interacting with the environment.
I’m doodling, and the technique isn’t great, but I like how it turned out.

I dug up something I drew a while ago and colored it for a bit. Kinda feel like I haven’t improved in the 2 years since I drew it. I wish I could spend more time drawing instead of worrying about work and life.

>>7147106>>7147109bro you need to learn hatching techiniques and line weight ASAP like right now like what are you waiting bro your shit is good i feel the SOUL and the fun that you had drawing it. Learn those things, do it at your pace, you can be as slow as you want, but do it, it will greatly improve the appeal of your drawings. I recommend you try other, hardness, in your pencils, if you are using a classic HB pen, you can try others like a B, or B2, you will feel it more "soft" in the strokes, you can fill space more easy, but also if you want to go more black, you can go further than an regular HB, that will give you more range of values more easy, so the darker blacks are gonna pop up more your works, specially in the lines.
>>7147952Thank you so much bro, this may be exactly what I needed! I've just been using two weights because I get overwhelmed with more and I end up spending too much time but I should do more. Still planning on making the switch to digital but I will def try the things you mentioned.
>>7147952I believe I see. Might give pen a go, it'll force me to be more concise of this.

>>7144379I'm happy that I can get out of my comfort zone more and try new stuff, today I tried to draw clothes by using references, (that mesmerizing vocaloid MV) not perfect but it turned out better than I expected, as usual I would like to hear your criticisms
>>7151244Oh god I'm coping so hard, three and s half year of drawing and this is where I'm at, I'm gonna kill myself
>>7151246I barely can understand proper anatomy and perspective, I can't shade, I focused on drawing cute girls so much and I draw like a teenager who's obsessed with anime at the age of 25 Fuck me

Any tips for drawing jawlines? I always end up making them look like they have an underbite or overbite.
>>7151181holy fucking shit dude, you didn't do itAll this complaining and begging for advice and you fucking ignored it, go to hell howie
>>7151246>three and s half year of drawing and this is where I'm at, I'm gonna kill myselfhttps://youtu.be/EG6eSoJVWnY?t=67
>>7151244Hands are pretty good on both of them. Left one's face doesn't line up with the jawline. Arms feel a bit stiff and unnatural too. I get the forearms are supposed to be in front of the upper arm but it looks like they kinda come up from out of nowhere.
>>7151244>>7151316I like the clothes too though, especially the one on the left. Your lines are pretty bold and clear too.
>>7151321>>7151316>>7151312Thank you anons, due to my low self esteem I just spazed out, I'm much better now. I think I just feel like I either invoice immediately or I'll never improve ever, I'll strive for better.
>>7150970I don't know if painting full blown armour especially in colour immediately is a good idea for you anon
>>7151296Just practice lots of jaws. In this example, you over exaggerated the eyewells, eyes are much too large and position wrong, nose is wrong. So you'd either fix eyes/nose or you'd have to change the jaws and mouth to match them. >>7151283You need to shorten your grind time. You will burn out extremely fast if you take 2.5 hours for something like that. That should take 20 minutes. Stop getting distracted.>>7151264Remember that anime is a tool to convey emotion, not a style. >>7151244Whenever you draw the 3/4 face animu, the chin gets angled forward towards the angle she is looking, not backwards.>>7151212Start working on line discipline. >>7151070Just keep practicing refs, you are doing well. >>7151039Excellent. Let's start adding to your scenes. >>7150992I love this. Are you using random refs?>>7148649https://cursoseorientacoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/michael-hampton-figure-drawing-design-and-invention-1.pdfdraw half of these. >>7148383Good start. Make sure to finish your faces so that you can see what is out of balance on them. For instance, that eye is way too large, and it's the main reason you weren't able to finish a jaw that looks normal and were forced to chicken scratch it. >>7147147I really like the perspective shot here. The material seems a bit bland though. Try to indicate your story into the image itself. >>7146856I would recommend more face studies regardless of what art style you are looking for. The faces draw people to the image first.

>Break the body down into shapesWhat? Why? Are you telling me I am fucking myself over FOR ALL THESE FUCKING YEARS by not making my bodies out of FUCKING BOXES?Pic related is not me but my biggest fucking nightmare.
>>7151417Anon that's their first time drawing in 9 years. Most users in this thread already have better anatomy.
>>7151417Breaking something down into basic shapes and forms is a fundamental skill. You don't necessarily need to use it on a human body if you're comfortable visualizing the form without it, but it's a good tool to have.
>>7151417the goal is to have a better understanding of what you seeso that you are able to manipulate it to your liking

How do i learn fundamentals? all i've ever done is draw, and draw from imagination. whenever i try and use ref it looks x100 times worse. most of the guide and resources assume you are starting from 0 and never drawn before, i can't seem to stick with them.
>>7152258I have the complete opposite problem. My imagination drawings, barring one or two flukes are my worst pieces. The only decent ones are the ones I use reference for
>>7152260isn't that a far easier problem to solve? how often do you do figure drawings? i suggest adding them to your routine. You'll get more used the the human figure and develop your imagination since you need to simplify what you are drawing. do the fast ones like 1 minute-2 minutes at most. Eventually you'll be able to do figures form imagination and any part that feels wrong you can bust out reference to fix.
>>7152263I'll try giving figure drawing a try. Do you know any good places to learn figure drawing from or should I just google or youtube "how to figure drawing"
>>7152268there are so many different ways to go about figure drawing. look at a couple videos and try to see what works best for you. I don't recall what i used when i started. but remember your figures won't look "good" to begin with. even with a lot of time it might just look meh. a lot of the professionals have been doing it for years and have their shape design solved so their figures still look aesthetic. what you want to get from figure drawing is how to simplify the body and what connects where.
>>7152258If your observational drawings look like shit, then you need to start observational drawing studies "from 0". How good you think you are at drawing from imagination doesn't matter.Put your ego aside and Read Keys to Drawing.
Tip: when someone mentions ktd it's pawell posting
>>7151541i don't want to be a howie but i tried again when i had a bit of time this morning, bigger, and other than the comments i've written down next to them i'm still not understanding where in the process i'm going wrong that makes the outcome look shit>>7151884yeah i was too tired and annoyed to be clear at the time, "you're wrong" was just to the accusation of not drawing from any references, drawing larger makes sense + i agree
>>7152301>i'm still not understanding where in the process i'm going wrongyou can self critique by overlaying your drawing against the refin the top left, you almost got the overal shape right, but placed the nose and mouth too lowin the bottom right, you made the cranium too big, and made the same mistake regarding nose and mouthdon't skip drawing the neck and ears
does figure work for every drawing or are there some where you can't use it? Like if it's a drawing with a really weird perspective or something
>>7152313ty and you're right, i guess it never occurred to me when drawing on paper since i usually do it too far from my pc to keep digitally overlaying them
>>7152272i know you are right. but ego is hard to kill or quell down to study. any tips on that?
Can someone help me, I need an idea for my portfolio for artschool. I really have no idea what to draw or doI want to study animation I can replicate any drawing style so all ideas are welcomeThanks in advance
>>7152315it works for every drawing. figure is simplification that makes sense to YOU. if you aren’t getting it right then your simplification aren’t working and you need to solidify your understanding of the subject more. also upgrading your mannequization.
I van't draw anything and also have not done it in two days. It might be over quite frankly.
>>7152327set a timer for 5 minutes. so anything. scribble lines practice shapes whatever you want. look thru twitter and find some art to imitate. once 5 minutes are up you are either in the zone and want to keep drawing or you stop for the day and completed the task for today. just keep repeating it every single day. by day 30 you built the habit of drawing every single day but start today.
>>7152327do it right now
ass
even stuff like this? this is the sort weird perspective I was talking about. Are you just supposed to guess where her arms and shoulders should would be?
>>7152350meant for >>7152325
>>7152350Learn three point perspective, reduce her to boxes, redraw her
>>7152352but you wouldn't do figure here if you were trying to draw something from a similar perspective?
>>7152353what is figure
>>7152358figure drawing
>>7152361Oh you mean like a loomis mannequin Those are boxes too
>>7152363oh so figure drawing is the same as reducing them to boxes?
>>7152365figure drawing is just "drawing a figure", i'm pretty sure you mean "construction" which yes you should use even in extreme perspectives
>>7152366that was my original question though "does figure drawing work for every drawing?" and I wanted to know for something like that. But maybe I'm just getting my terminology mixed up
>>7152368yeah i wasn't any of the other responses to you, the term is construction and the answer is yes

does anyone know any good videos that show out a digital drawing process that is NOT Sketch layer -> Lineart layer ->Color & Shadow Layer?I think this sort of approach really doesn't work for my brain. Really sucks out all the joy out of it for me.pic related is my wip, that i feel like is going to stay as such for awhile
>>7152589>NOT Sketch layer -> Lineart layer ->Color & Shadow Layer?what exactly are you looking for
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yDCWS4stZ0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrryw0HxV-A
>>7152589Well the problem is that you want to have a layer for the things you are shading so you can individually edit them. If you don't divide the shading layers it's very slow to edit mistakes out.

Just give it to me straight am i going to make it? I can't draw this stupid elf and it's tearing me apart.

>>7154418you need to draw and study for a few more years before you ask this question
>>7154431we both know that's not how it works
>>7154418https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EPNYWeEf1Uthis video helped me outI too enjoy Dungeon Meshi. Cithis is literal sex. I'm still super /beg/ but I feel like I've gotten a lot further than my first day.
>>7154418Gave drawing the elf a shot. You can watch me struggle trying to match the big anime eye art style for awhile. Not great, can definitely be improved.You're very early on your art path for sure, but the definite answer to your question depends on if you give up or not. If you give up, you're not going to make it. If you don't, you'll get there.The biggest advice I can give is try to see the 3D shapes even in an anime art style. Try to understand how the elf's face is constructed.In my timelapse you can see me alter the position of the nose because the Dungeon Meshi art style, or at the very least the reference I was using had the nose further ahead to give this impression of 3D shape and contours of the face. The Dungeon Meshi artist seems to always push the nose further out than your usual anime face at certain angles, I think that's what gives the series it's look.You're doing a quite a bit of symbol drawing instead of creating the impression of a 3D object/face. Try not to think about each facial feature as separate objects to draw, but think of the face as an entire object in itself.Faces in a 3/4th's view are never going to be the same exact width and shape. The perspective and angle is going to warp one of the eyes. This same principle applies to the nose. While in the art style it's super stylized it's constructed against the face in a way that gives that impression of 3D space. Observe why the nose bridge connects to the eyebrows the way it does. Likewise, the mouth should follow the shape of the face.Keep at it. I would just redraw Marcille multiple times. If you're getting frustrated just take a break for awhile and try again.

>>7155140Is this Loomis?
>main thing holding back my art is the inability to be able to draw boxes, spheres (with dividing lines), ellipses and ovals in perspective.>every single guide i find is just explaining 1 point, 2 point and 3 point perspective and not how i can utilize them to draw the shapes in proportions and angles that i need.tl;dr what's a good resource and study plan to learn construction very well.
Sketched this while watching digital circus ep 02. Is it any good?
How do I start with drawing complete bodies?I want to do stuff with simplified anatomy, but i really dont know where to begin.
How good/bad/terrible is this?
>>7155150try drawing them 1:1 from observation first, to learn their proportions and shapes
>>7155180watch the line between the shoulder and the butt, and the join at the right shoulder. otherwise it's not bad.
head looks too small. thoughts?
>>7155257knees fat. knees are just bone, cartilage and tendons, and fat knees bend worse
I started learning gesture drawing a bit slowly and I noticed that my fundamentals are weak so I went back to practice primary lines of action.I've been doing 30 seconds per attempt but I stopped on this one specifically because it seems impossible for me so I wanted to really try to actually come up with some useful foundation. I'm struggling to imagine a coherent line/s of action for pic related.I think I have a weak grasp of lines of action, anything I attempt ends up looking incoherent which to my understanding lines of action are meant to prevent. How would you establish the lines of action?
Is it normal for muscle memory to take a while to develop when transitioning from paper to a screenless tablet?
>>7155276fellow beglet here, so take this with a cavern of salt.line of action is meant to convey the "energy" of a pose in the simplest way. since the figure is sitting and balling up, we aren't really seeing movement or high energy, but rather stability and maybe confinement. picrel is just my attempt.
>>7144379just a doodle
>>7155157no it’s lunacy
evening doodle
>>7155276there is literally no action there to capture, would be my takesome poses are static, it's stupid that gesture sites include them but it is what it is, skip + don't worry about it
how about you go fuck yourself
>>7155276meaningless pose>>7155170no>>7155180bad
>>7155257Made the head longer and fixed the muscle anatomy a bit.
>don't droooow>enjoy cool tranime art on twitter>start doodling a little>become jealous and seethe at nice drawingsit's all so tiresome
>>7155364lol, anyone in particular?
Do I just have to accept that it is near impossible to get wobbly lines when drawing on a drawing tablet?
>>7155449Why do you want to get woobly lines?
>>7155458"near impossible not to get wobbly lines", is what I meant. Whoops!
>>7155459Get a ruler and turn up the stabilization until you don't get wobbly lines. It can't be helped.
here's a quick sketch
Hello.can someone redline/crit my attempt? ref is on the far lefthttps://files.catbox.moe/riya5j.png
I cannot figure out how lineweight is added to cartoony drawings feels like they just add it randomly
I've spent several hours fucking up my wrist browsing /hc/ because a girl called me an incel
>>7155415too ripped, going for a wider physique
>>7155468Open toed shoes are so fuckin sexy, goddamn
>>7155471Maybe check out tutorials about drawing capeshit, they tend to have a few sections about line weights and inking techniques.
My goal is becoming the Louis Wain of our time
>>7155471Numerous instances of lineweight variation are just a consecuence of the motion made to put a line down - it happens naturally.Picrel is a super basic, relatively easy to apply tutorial that I made long ago.
>>7155512so it is random kinda
>>7154398>>7154476thanks bros
something wrong with his smilehmm
I was told that doing art for fun helps to progress faster.Not sure if it is working as my art is shit no matter what
>>7155532depends on how much you are drawing and if you are trying to imrpove, most of best gains have happened while doing sketchs
>>7155532progressing makes you progress
>>71515413 days of grinding (skipped yesterday) front-faces later, i don't even care about the remaining problems i can work on them as i go, this was so boring and i'm worried i forgot everything i learned about the rest of the bodybut at the same time fuck it's nice to see progress
>>7155532crab meme, literally the only way to progress is deliberate practice
>>7155584sure, because deliberate practice must be boring. you can't study your fav artists or do personal work, just grind grind grind bro. you are totally not gonna quit.
>>7155593>deliberate practice must be boringit is>you can't study your fav artists or do personal worknobody says this, if you never did whatever you wanted just for fun that would be retarded>you are totally not gonna quit3 months and counting, maybe i'm just built different

>>7144379any tips for clothing?
I'M SOMEONE ELSE!I'M SOMEONE NEW!I'M SOMEONE STUPID JUST LIKE (You)!
>>7155528a few changes here and there
>>7155581good work anon, the improvement between each day is greatdon't worry about forgetting stuff, that's a normal part of learning
One moment I am like>it's over. I have nothing to offer, Im just a dumbass casual wasting time with stupid hobby I suck atAnd then 5 minutes later like>Girl, we're so back! Let's slay this, keep going because good things will happen! Your art will mean so much to people
>>7155620>GirlYou must be over 18 to post here, Cindy Lou
more 2 min gestures. i kinda fell back on focusing on contours, which i feel like helped me capture the pose, but proportions suffered, especially limbs.also went back to using pinterest as opposed to the quickdraw sites, mostly because then i can pick out figures with little clothing so i can focus on the forms of the body.
any lazy anons here share tips for overcoming their laziness? how do you find the motivation to draw for 1-2 hours after a 10 hour shift + classes?
>>7155764time's gonna pass either way, do you wanna be the kind of no-life faggot who dies having spent his life doing nothing but consooming or do you want to leave your creative spirit behind in the world
>>7155764if you don't have motivation pick a different hobbyif you don't have the mental capacity to do it because you're overworked, maybe draw before your shift, but realistically there's nothing you can do
>>7155786>realistically there's nothing you can doa lot of anons can probably unlock extra daily energy by getting fitter but that eats into drawing time so ymmv immediately, highly recommend for everyone for long-term whole-life gains anyway
>>7155471It basically comes down to style - there are some general ideas like putting thicker lines on the side of the character that is in shadow, on thicker parts of the body, to emphasize some body part overlaps and so on. But in the end you need to choose things you want to put attention on and stick with it. Hell, there are even people who use lines with same thickness over the whole drawing on purpose and make it work.
>>7155179pls respond
>>7155593Yes, because being a true artist means constant grinding for years, losing any love or passion for craft, hating your work 24/7, while malding from the fact your previously faved artists are having an easier lives.Everything else like having fun and supporting friends is not allowed, and only leads to coddeling
>>7155764if you have adhd like me you can try hiding all your gadgets in a separate room so your boredom will force you to do something. resist the temptation to daydream as much as possible.
