I’ll draw 6 hours per day from various references including morpho book and see how far I can progress after a few weeks
Day 2
Day 3
Yeah I know I’m slow so I’m trying to learn To draw faster. My goal is to do 1 page per hour.Been grinding mostly fundies until now, I’ve never drawn many actual figures from various angles before.
I also look at the muscles I draw to try to memorize them and looking for references snd trying to study from anatomy references when I have doubts so I don’t spend the time just drawing.
I think I messed up the order of some of these but I’ll be more careful from now on
Hey you're the guy from yesterday. Something I recommend with morpho books in addition to copying the references is not only draw them from memory, but also try to draw them from different angles. It helped me ensure that I actually understood the forms I was studying. The drawing from different angles will be pretty tough, but very worth it. Good stuff OP!
is it working for you?
>>7237539How long are you planning on doing this? I feel like maybe 1-2 hours p/day should be more than enough. 6 hours seems like a lot unless you are plannig on burning out soon.
>>7237539i admire your will and desire to do something even if you may not know the best most optimal way to go about it. the act itself is beautiful, inspiring
>>7237539keep it up anon! Don't hyperfocus on anatomy too much and throw in some basic construction (drawing boxes n shit and learning to think in 3d space) and some gesture work.
>>7237733Thanks but I can only pull this off because it’s summer and I am a university student.
>>7237905Make a blog or something so that you can post daily updates and share the link here.
Day 4
Nice
Wow anon you are in this board and yet you actually draw
>>7238502did you mean drawing 6 hours a week?
Day 5
Already better than me
Are you drawing or are you copying things from a book?
>>7239603>I’ll draw 6 hours per day from various references including MORPHO BOOK and see how far I can progress after a few weeks>>7237540>>7237546nta, but you are quite slow eh?
Day 6I Managed to draw the first couple of pages faster than I have ever done before which I am quite happy about. But I’m starting to feel bored about copying this guy’s figures, extremely bored. I have drawn anatomy from a course before morpho but now it’s time to stop grinding anatomy for me, from tomorrow I’ll draw anime or I risk burning out, so I’ll let this thread die.
>>7240621>not even a weekOh well.
>>7237905Well, if it's just for the summer then you should be good! Good luck.
>>7240790
Keep going anon!
>>7237539Now answer me this, throughout those 6 hours a day of arduous artistic exercise, how many times did you get up from your (I'm assuming you were sitting down) chair, stand up to stretch and move about? and how long did each recess last? Did you also remember to hidrate during that time? Art prowess is important but your health is more important, you can't do art if you are dead.
mr horse!
>>7247912How long does it take you to draw This
>>7240790>>7247927:D>>7248083Depend on the complexcity. This one is 30 mins
I'm also trying to quickly boost my skills! Would you mind if I posted some of my practice every day or so?
Looking good, Anon. Keep it up!
>>7250908The OP is out buying milk. This a free for all thread anon :+)>>7251047:D
>>7250908Some anatomy studies and gesture drawing
>>7251074Cool>>7251056Keep it up
>>7251056>>7240790forgot to tag this>>7251074>>7251134It's nice to have companions doing anything. Let's fill the thread with our griding works buddies :)

>>7251056Well well well I didn't expect to see YOU here, brainwaves made me click on this thread unexpectedly
>>7251177mr. horse!! :D
>>7251276Different guys, lol
>>7240790>>72375391. I am not the OP2. I want to keep the thread alive as long as possible3. I will post comments with my morpho copies attached and stay away from "drama">>7251177Hello>>7251273You are not me.
>>7251336mr. horse :D
>>7251276Op here. I’ve been drawing for 10 months
I like how you are keeping the grind thread alive. I am drawing copies of naked anime girls right now because it feel much less boring to me, although I’ll get back to lauricella sooner or later
>>7251273'Tis I, the one and only
>>7251074Did not have a lot of time today, so I worked on a blind (mini) master study.>>7251134>CoolThank you!>>7251162Let's grind! WAGMI!>>7251336Very cool. Do these help you remember the form?>>7251939Nice
>>7251939Good work anon
Learning to draw from memory
You guys have some mad gains Maybe I should draw for more than half an hour
>>7252800The two or three artists in the thread are definitely improving but you can’t tell that al just by looking at their posts after all its been only a couple of weeks
>>7252784Are you op?
>>7252073>Do these help you remember the form?Yes the do!
>>7252073had no time today (either), so just a doodle and then to bed!
>>7252936Yes
I tried to draw from imagination this pose using only a 3d model an I’m pretty surprised with the results, this is the most decent body I drew from memory so far. I guess the exercises in figure drawing are working.
>>7253267A study of the leg muscles + a simplification of the muscle groups, so I can hopefully remember them better. This time on paper because my pc was occupied.>>7253326You will make it! Just keep at it!
>>7251276You know ever and each men and woman are different there is no fucking way you will be able to do exactly same thing as somebody else in the exactly same time if you need 2 years then you will need to years if 2 months then 2 months artists always start writing suicidal bullshit on twatter or here when somebody is better then them just ignore it and keep working you will get there eventually.

>>7253899Some more legs from reference

>>7254175I do. not sure why you can't answer my questions.

>>7254158Not much time to draw today, but I found a neat evening dress and drew a head on top.
>>7254264so so so cool>>7255191cute cute

>>7255381Expression studies>>7257315> You captured the uptiight old lady feel :)Thank you!
>>7257587> A study of the planes of the face. This study really confirmed that I have a tendency to feminize faces, so that's something I'll have to work on. This one was anatomy and perspective in one, hurrah! >>7258560Do you have any advice for drawing cleaner lines? I have a small tablet, so it can be tricky to use my shoulder.
>>7258710My three coppers1. I like to block things before drawing to get correct the proportions and shapes.2. Rotating canvas. Everyone has their own range of motion. I find it easy to draw at 45 degree angle, so I rotate the canvas when I want to make a straight line or difficult curves.3. Millage. The body remembers (muscle memory) anon. The more you draw, the more confident your lines get.
>>7258758Thank you, sensei!
>>7258710I don't draw much perspective or objects, so I today I took the time to do those.
>>7240790I hate drawing hands man.
>>7260605on the right track
>>7259618Thursdays are for fun!
This thread is inspiring anon, keep up the hard work
>>7252073I recognize Coco.
>>7260773Today was studying perspective and environments. >>7261395Good hands!>>7261402You got me! I really like Shirahama's work.
>>7237539Here's my attempt, drawing more right now.
>>7261478Nice!! Keep it up!
While I commend your efforts, you need to slow the fuck down think about every line you place. 6 hours for a bunch of sketches isn’t exactly productive for anyone.
>>7261478Will do.
>>7261437I like this

>>7263219How do you go on about this? Are these copies from the book or your own application of the Morpho method based on photos? Sorry for the stupid question
It's good seeing another Morpho-anon - there was another Morpho-anon a while back who finished the small book
>>7263476Oh fuck that was his Hampton sheet, this is (one of) his morpho sheets
>>7240790>>7263476>>7263477Those are pretty good studies anon.>there was another Morpho-anon a while back who finished the small bookI made a bet with my friend to copy all the Morpho and Bridgman books within a year (05/24-05/25). I'll finish them all.https://mega.nz/folder/bcpGVLLL#eU6KU5t1epZS35in1qHfkA
>>7264264Hell yeah, you will surely be OP at the end of all that effort!This is another Bridgman Anon whose work I saved:
>>7263406Today was hair and cloth (both are ribbons).>>7264264>copy all the Morpho and Bridgman books within a year Are you on track to win the bet?
>>7240790>>7264412I can do 6-8 pages per day with no problem (picrel is 4 pages worth of images). I will surely win :^)
>>7264412More cloth and hair, today was about drawing from imagination, so I did some rolling on the Tower Girls thread until I got one I liked.>>7265349Get that bread, king
>>7237539Not bad op keep it up.

>>7265546Did not have a lot of time today, so I put a little extra work into this one.
>>7240790Gonna go full force on Monday.
>>7267216I really like this post I am pretty much an absolut beginner learning how to draw skulls from memory 3 hours a day on front, 3/4th view and profile
>>7266320>>7263406Thursdays are for fun, so I got more line work done on this piece. Today was pretty encouraging, I finally feel like I'm seeing progress after a few months. >>7267216B-) Full force>>7267292Keep it up, man. It's a long journey, but it's a lot of fun.
>>7240790>>7267292I am copying the morpho books anon >>7267392yup whole hog :)

Hey, what’s going on in this thre-Damn, good job, anons. Makes me wanna get back into Bridgman studies.>>7263476>>7263477Holy shit, you saved those? Feels weird but cool to see them posted.>>7265349Godspeed. You’re good as fuck.

>>7268506Some sketches of an NPC in my dnd campaign, regularly scheduled practice will resume shortly.>>7270236I'm feeling the form in these
This is good practice and all but you should really focus on looking at one mannequin at a time and use it as a reference on how to think while doing studies of real figures with different poses/body shapes rather than just copying the mannequins and moving on.
how do I escape this hell
>>7270623give up

So u guys are neets or work part time or how do you manage to invest so many hours a day?
>>7270236Can you draw something from memory after all these copies?
>>7237539You're still going? Nice. I'd join you but i started working 5AM - 7PM.I wish i were more productive during my NEET days.On the other hand i'm free on weekends still, and it's not like i've used asingle on to practice.Anyway, good luck anon!
>>7275285Some expression study. Does anyone have any advice for keeping multiple drawings looking like the same person. I used different refs for this one, but feel like I, sort of, brute forced it.>>7275550I mostly work from home, so I'm able to set my own schedule. But I definitely do not draw 6 hours a day, lol. More like 2 on a good day.
>>7275752Yeah I’m still going with it, but I draw ugly studies so I don’t think it’s worth being posted here, last week I spent it drawing floating pelvis. Im op, the other guy here is better and posts pretty studies daily
>>7240790Sunday break>>7276244I found the links anon. https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6255492>>7275658Of course picrel is 100 from imagination

>>7276462how do i draw flowy and messy like this
>>7276244Sunday break. Sketching a tarot card idea. >>7276462Thank you! And very cool drawing.
>>724079010-12 pages per day is a little munch! No time for games or movies :( Imma dial it down to 6-8 pages. >>7276964I imitate artists with good flow like Katsuya Terada, Ryoji Ohara, Yoshitaka Amano, Tatsuya Yoshikawa, etc. I am still learning their ways.>>7277576Np
>>7277769Tell me, how can studying such heads help to draw beautiful women? Let's say I study the lessons of Willpu, Haston, study the muscles and fat pads of the face, but all this is not really necessary for drawing women. Tell me, what do you think about it?
>>7277811Anon doesn't think at all, he just copies.
>>7276257I kept the thread alive for a month and completed abook. Diligent is key mr. D. 2 pages'day. You can do it. I will continue my journey else where. >>7277576Goodbye friend! thanks for your companion-ship
>>7277886Goodbye, I guess since I made the thread I will keep it alive with my studies, a thread full of sketches and studies may be inspiring to everyone

Which one of these faces do you prefer?
>>7278597Top mostly because the shape of her mouth as well as the perspective of her teeth looks much more angry and interesting
>>7278376I liked the sketch, so I rendered it out.>>7278597Top is better, the eye behind the hair on the bottom one is off, looks pushed too far toward the center of the head.
>>7279302Had a busy day today, so no real time to draw
>>7280539Busy day again =<=) We'll see if I draw more tonight.
First time trying out animals as exercise for structure. Have no idea wtf I'm doing but it's fun so I want to keep doing some more in the future. Any feedback would help a ton! Thanks!
>>7281712Decided to do some gesture drawing to get back in the groove. Feeling a little rusty ngl>>7281743Lion looks wonky, dog in the bottom right looks great. Not sure how much help I can be beyond that, I don't draw too many animals 0u0;) But keep it up!
>>7282908Today was a pretty poor study, definitely brightened it up too much, but I wanted to do it without using the color picker. Took about an hour and a half.
how the fuck do you draw 6 hours a day? That's how long it takes me to just think about what to draw. note: I don't draw pointless random sketches
>>7237539Good luck, anon. Track the time you are allocating per day, any breaks you take. Remember to go outside during daytime and get physically active so your mental doesn't decline. Don't just copy the lines like some of your day 2s look like. Place a middle line, simple shapes. Talk along with your work "what is this line?" "Why is this curve here?" If your using a book like that, try to learn about what you're doing. Then your brain will have an easier time reproducing it without the book in front of you.
>>7284670Easy when you are a neet.
>>7284151Sunday is for resting.Made a sketch today, might take tomorrow to bang out a full painting for it.

>>7289447Decided to split the difference and go for a lineless cell-shaded painting. (Sorry to the anon who liked my line art).I will hopefully be done with this tomorrow. If anyone has any feedback, I would appreciate it.
SIX HOURS? I do this too much by testing shit out or not being satisfied, but isn't sitting that much unhealthy?

>>7294004Have been spinning my wheels for a while on what to focus on, decided just to pick on and go. So this week I'm studying hands.
>>7295070Not much time today, but I studied a little bit of the internal structure of the hand.
>>7237539>>7240790based and morphopilled
>>7296464Drew some hands from imagination to see if I learned anything. I think I made some improvements. But there's definitely some issues with them, I just can't quite make them out.
>>7297479Made a drawing of a character, with hands being a piece of the illustration. Had an anon call me out on that, so thought I'd be intentional about not hiding them.
>>7297542No time to draw today
>>7270306Here’s another thing i did slow progress but
>>7296464What reference do you use for hands ? Looks good
>>7298683Today I did master studies of hands.>>7299543I like the edwardian hair.>>7299544Thank you!I used Artistic Anatomy - Dr. Paul Richer for my references, except for the bottom one. I found that online.
>>7299544>>7296464It's good if you want a very technical study.
