guidelinesanyone have any favourite proportions? rule of thirds does make sense but sometimes it's cuter to move the nose and mouth up hard to get the jaw/chin shape just right though
>>7294334hide dem hands boy
What to do when too lazy to render? Just draw postures.
>>7294353I'm not sure this is very useful, at least the way you're going about it
>draw a simple rough sketch to map out the proportions>stare at it for 5 minutes>”I think this looks fine. It looks good, even. I cannot detect any problems in this sketch.”>do the final drawing>realize there are multiple critical errors in proportions, perspective, etcWhat’s even the fucking point of sketching if I can’t even see the mistakes until everything’s done and inked?I feel like this is part of why my progress is so god damn slow. I can’t iterate fast. Quick sketches give me no info whatsoever, I can only actually find mistakes and learn from them when I do a completed drawing. It’s maddening.
>>7294358Most of usefulness has been getting used to drawing tablet and figuring which way those shapes are. Cutting and shaping
>>7294365>get ready to benchpress, load 225>lock in the shoulders, arch my back, grab the bar and plant my feet firmly on the ground>realize i cant lift the barbellShocker. You gotta start small and simple. makes sure youre able to draw simple forms in space consistently with same exact dimentions, then slowly add on top over time. Just like when working out, you people ego lift then wonder why there's little to no pregress.
Crit please, drawing a sort of mini plane /rectangle is the best way to attempt this type of angles right?
>>7294376It's weird that many hobbies have that same mentality like you can't get better if you don't suffer greatly.Vulgar Freudian "no pain, no gain" mentality.
>>7294381Well yeah, learning a skill is rewiring your brain by expending energy, which your brain doesn't like, hence the pain.
>>7294396You get the best progress when you push over the carpal tunnel syndrome and don't let your mind trick you
>>7294381It's more like you need to consistently be pushing yourself just beyond you capabilities to improve. Lotta people have fun drawing without developing their draftsmaship, nothing wrong with that. People here want to develop those higher level drafting skills and you do need to push yourself outside the comfort zone for that. Pushing yourself too hard is always bad, I don't think anyone will argue that.
don't really know how to improve just doing soulless studies
>>7294456so you don't know
>>7294456Sure. Based off your studies you are still weak in your value control, construction, form, hard and soft edges, observational skills. I mean I could go on and on. You're supposed to have a goal with a study, reflect on what you're doing right and wrong, then take what you learned and implement it into your own work. You're literally just... well I don't know what you're doing with these. They're all so random and unfocused in their purpose, are they color studies, value studies? Material studies? These all look more like copies than studies where you are biting off more than you can chew if I'm being quite frank, but we all have to start somewhere.
Someone please help out this retard, I can't figure out how to change the color of my lines in Krita.When drawing over stuff I usually use red/green, once I'm done (in photoshop) I just make a new layer, paint it black then use it as a clipping mask to the layer I've drawn in.How can I do that in Krita? Is there a better way??
how badly would I be wasting my time if I got this? I'm looking to do cartooning while learning to draw in general, so https://mitchleeuwe.gumroad.com/l/mbwcds?layout=profile

Yes I know check sticky and all that but I can do that later when I have more time For now can someone give me TLDR on a learning to draw pipelineAlready have a goal in mind, already know it will take yearsIt seems similar to learning Japanese which I’m also doingJust get the basics down then after that practice every day and that’s it?
>>7294606nta, you can also do this photoshop. Just click the checkerboard. It creates an alpha lock so its like making a clipping mask without creating a clipping mask. Then just color over it.
>>7294610all his books are up on zlib and libgen
>>7294652There you go anon. Almost anything is free on the internet. Don't fall into the trap of spending money instead of mental resources. It's the permabeg mistake and an easy way to get the feel good reward without putting in the work.
would like some rendering tips or critique for next time
>>7294649AIEEEE SAVE ME NIGGERMANNNN I AM LIDERALLY GOING INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>7294666Stop treating it like a clipping mask nigger. Click the checkerboard on your line layer. It's called alpha lock. The alpha is all the invisible area that isn't your line. If you lock the alpha, you can only draw on what isn't alpha.
>>7294666they'll add this next update for sure kritasisters
>>7294666least convoluted basic feature in krita
>>7294669
>>7294677STOP TREATING AN ALPHA LOCK LIKE IT'S A CLIPPING MASK YOU NIGGER. DON'T USE PAINTBUCKET TOOL. YOU LITERALL PAINT OVER IT WITH A BRUSH LORD HELP ME
>>7294685USING CAPS WONT HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY THE GODDAMN THING DOESNT WORK I JUST WANT IT TO WORK LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE DOES WHY DO I NEED TO MAKE A 999999PT BRUSH AND PAINT IT ALL OVER WHEN THE GODDAMN BUCKET TOOL EXISTS FOR TH IS SOLE PURPOSE I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY CANT I DO THAT THE WAY EVERYONE ELSE DOES IT WHY WHY WHY????I DONT GET IT AM I SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY RETRACE MY RETRACE IN A DIFFERENT COLOR INSTEAD OF OVERLAYING IT WITH A DIFFERENT LAYER WHO THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A BETTER WAY TO DO IT I DONT GET IT STOP TALKING TO ME IN CAPS I DID NOTHING WRONG THIS PROGRAM IS COMPLICATED AND CONFUSING
>>7294692
>>7294703Also yes,, I agree, Krita is a fucking terrible program that doesn't have clipping masks one of the most used tools in literally any digital art. Alpha lock won't let you use blending modes for specific things like shadow or light. You might as well just use something else.
>>7294685Calm down edgelord, the anime community doesn't tolerate the use of that word.Get a grip or suit yourself.
>>7294703Sure I guess I can deal with that, I suppose.You win today little man, you win today.
>>7294712yes we do
>>7294718actually the more i look at your posts the more i feel like this was a troll. Especially after this one >>7294666 where you pull up 2 other programs lmfao. Let's just agree that the real losers here today are the people who unironically use Krita.

>>7294736Do you mind making a timelapse? I really like your style but I'm still confused on how you do it.

Is Krita that bad?
>>7294760It's not that bad but it's made for code monkeys not artists
>>7294760I wouldn't say it's bad, so many people wouldn't be using a "bad" program just because it's free (you can always pirate, it'll always be an option and a great retard filter). It's just rather different from what people are used to, if Krita were to be the first art program you ever interacted with it wouldn't be that much of a burden to learn.The thing is, Krita rarely is the first program someone interacts with, and ""artists"" tend to be not the sharpest tools in the shed so even when Krita has all the features those ""artists"" need they'll still bitch and whine over it not being a 1:1 copy of their favorite (PAID AND BACKED BY A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY) software of choice.

>>7294766I've been using Krita on an android tablet exclusively for the last six months after using Artflow and then Medibang Paint for years. I have several custom brushes I made myself and have repurposed the animation feature to create sketchbook files that I can export each and every page named and numbered with the click of a button and I did this all in the GUI without looking up a single tutorial. In short, you are wrong, and additionally retarded>picrelated- a page from my sketchbook file

>>7294362post a sketch. I bet it is too rough and your mind fills in the gaps for you until its time to actually fill them in physically.
>>7294781Or, hear me out, if your target audience is artists, you should develop software that has tools those artists use. But, hey, capitalism. We all know Krita being free is the only thing it has going for it.
>>7294804>>7294817k
>>7294827Refer to the second paragraph in the post you just quoted.
>>7294833>Most programs have very similar ways of getting the result you want.>Krita does not>It's the artists that are wrong not the developers
I need to have the right leg be a bit behind comapred to the left one. Is it more or less correct this way? For some reason I completely forgot how to do it when it should be easy.
>>7294836>you should develop software that has tools those artists use>uuhhh y-you do have the t-tools?? well, how about uhhh... T-THEYRE NOT IN THE SAME PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!Pathetic, what are you going to bitch about next? The default theme, that you can edit in any way you desire, not being pleasing enough to your faggot eyes?
>>7294841meant left leg be behind
Today was just bad in terms of art, I couldn't do real life studies for shit...but I had a little bit more success drawing her. But my god, I couldn't get her iris/pupils to look right. I dunno why but every time I drew them they looked derpy and weird, until I got to this point but she just looks soulless. Can someone help explain why her eyes look so off? I am looking at references for anime eyes but I just can't get it right. Tbh she looks flat as hell, much like these crappy artists I used to know who tried to poorly emulate the anime/manga art style but it just looking soulless. I can tell it looks off, I just don't know how to fix it.
>>7294858They are too close together, anime eyes are still at least 1 eye part
Hey guys so I'm trying copy an artstyle because I want to draw a specfic character in the style. The problem I'm having is that I'm not sure if my thinking process is correct.So in my example lets say I want to draw sombra from overwatch in the kim possible style. I have so many references for how characters are drawn in this style so would I need to just lock on to how a specific character looks then use only them as the model to create the style from ?So for example I would use how bonnie looks as a the map for how sombra should look generally interms of shapes ?
I'm trying to follow the Roadmap of David finch in the sticky and copy the figures in the How to Marvel Book. I'm not if I'm doing this right.
>>7294863Right, noted. I tried to account for the perspective though. I am bothered by her nose and just the way the eyes are drawn in general.
>>7294858>>7294866>>7294869You're supposed to post art, not blog post. This is not your personnel blog.Thanks to that retard Powell we got one too many folk out here blogposting instead of drawing.
>>7294876I'm asking a question in regards to art not blogposting ffs, where else should i go to ask questions about copying a style. How am I supposed to start when i dont know how to start
>>7294876I'm explaining the issues I had prior to drawing Asuka actually to give critiquers context.
>>7294876trvth nvke
>>7294870yeah positioning the eyes is complicated in general and even harder with anime eyes since they tend to be so big, something that could help you would be like drawing an indication of the eye sockets, as for the nose maybe think of it as more of a diamond, prism shape perhaps?
I have been using Krita for a long time and today I learned it is bad. so sad
>>7294883I'll have to work on that tomorrow once I redraw her. Appreciate the advice.
>>7294878We have to cancel you and you can't comeback here. sorry
>>7294876fuck off I just wanna know if I'm doing this figure exercise right, no need to get assblasted.The roadmap says to learn an underwear shape for the pelvis, but the figures he recommends to copy in his youtube videos don't have an underwear shape.The other posts aren't me
Thoughts?
>>7294893Stop pretending to be me. You are the un-me, I'm the real me. You wanna be? Me?
>>7294922podria ser mejor
>>7294924What's wrong with it?
>>7294923I want to be dead.
>>7294925doesn't even look like homegirl is holding the bag with her hand. it's like it's floating in space. also the comp/posture choice doesn't really make sense. why is the dude looking back at her while her left arm is swinging back as far as it is, she's turned away from him, looking down at her drink or the ground in front of her?
>>7294934clearly not as much as you want to be live (not a misspelling)
>>7294844Yeah rebuild the wheel buddy. Krita doesn't provide anything of value worth relearning or having to be stunted in transitioning to other softwares for. Strawman it all you want, the developers just made a shitty UI. Blender is a great example of open source and intuitive UI. Krita is not. Seethe more kirtafag.
>>7294922The turn is uncanny, like its a doll with a center mass pivot, and the chest turns around the waist snapping the spine in two. This much turn would affect the lower body posture
Studying anatomy is soul draining
>>7294869You should try shading your shapes. The purpose of the exercise is to draw volumes, not lines.
>>7294980>>7294935What do you think of the drawing as a whole? aside from the turn
krita was the first program i used and i've mostly gotten used to it by now, are the problems so bad i should consider switching?
>>7294955>Krita doesn't provide anything of value worth relearning or having to be stunted in transitioning to other softwares for.Please refer to >>7294833. Had you read my first reply in this chain we wouldn't have to keep on this worthless conversation.No shit Krita doesn't have all the bells and whistles, it's a completely free and open source multi platform program, and even then it fits the workflow and fulfill the needs of a lot of people. Comparing it to your cracked version of Photoshop is not only unfair but stupid.Also I don't think I have to mention that this is /beg/, were you a career artist with meaningful accolades I'd be willing to accept that you simply cannot adapt Krita to the way you work (even then it'd probably be a matter of time investment not lack of features), but people here (me included) can barely draw a human with accurate proportions, whining about having to think for 1 more second about the position of a tool is just, again, pathetic.Resistance to change is human but the lengths people go to justify their biased and feelings-based opinions is outright bizarre.
>>7294866Distill the common feature from the showAll girls look pretty similar, if you want to maximize the styling, just draw the closest looking character doing the overwatch cosplay, when done - alter in any direction you want.
>>7294986Alright fine we can agree Krita UI is archaic and leave it at that.
>>7294984the style is basic and the subject matter is faggot
>>7294858The eyes are recessed in the skull. Even in anime skull. You obsess over the slit shape, but you should start with just two vertical dots, and maybe a line on top of the dot for each eye to figure out the gaze/focus. Eyes are tricky, but cartoony/chibi/stick figure eye works because of cultural reasons. Capture the gaze first, then try to make it more realistic
>>7294739its good that you completed it. But technique is weak and unrefined. Start another one
you fucking niggers NEED to kill yourself for derailing the thread AND not drawingbrown fucking subhumans rats
>>7294999wheres (you)r drawing?
>>7294739jaw goes back way too far
>>7294662Try to add background and ambient lighting. They seem to be wet, it would be fun if they reflected more
>>7294632such tits are not impossible
>>7294456Seal is very cute
>>7294988It's old and unwilling to change. It's like if a smartphone came out and chose to instead of having apps in a grid style have a swivel page menu or have the camera only accessible via triple clicking the side button then saying it's the other smartphones that are too stupid to learn the complexities of their system. Like no, humans just like consistency, it's not a matter of can I learn this, it's why should I learn this? Something Krita devs don't give a fuck about and why their program is what it is, and something like blender is so easy to pick up. Blender was built from the ground up trying to keep that cohesiveness between its keyboard shortcuts, menus and UI being intuitive, similar to other programs. Krita could be so much more if it followed a similar approach but it's old and quite frankly I don't think anybody wants it to change at this point. They're all too used to it by now.
>>7295009shouldnt the ear fluff inside be white? its usually white
>>7294992Gotcha. simplfy the eyes and then do the details. can you elaborate on the slit shape and connecting the dots? Just to make things easier.
>>7294984I think it is bad.
>>7294987Thanks alot. I eventually figured something like that out after having my head feeling like it would explode
>/beg/got when he realizes his favorite setting is in a different drop-down menu.
>>7294999>blogposting is le bad!Blogposters keep this thread alive and running if you haven't noticed you tourist.
>>7295014Eye is complex, but most of the attention is on the pupil (directionality, focus) and the upper lid (agitation). Its a circle and a line. If you can place two of those in the right way, its easier to work with the rest.For animehs the eye should be kept pretty simple. A few superfluous pixels with too much contrast would make a believable eye into uncanny makeup.Also the entire line around the slit is almost never complete. Its not a pair of glasses with a rim
>>7295013Her hair in general is supposed to be blonde but i didnt have the color
>>7295022I'll work on that tomorrow, I'll see if I can draw more than one head shot of a character too to see if I can get the hang of it better. Really appreciate it as it was honestly a bitch to draw and the final results just don't look right.
>>7294456define improve
>>7295026define define
>>7295012you don't need any of those features anyways, if you really need something you can learn it in five minutes. what program you use is irrelevant. Krita has probably one of the best manuals of any drawing app.
>>7295025
>>7295029Thanks. Also side note, I made an error with her electrode thing on her left side. The perspective overlaps the hair when it is supposed to be behind.

>>7295037Its an ok subject. I'd use her for pose studies any day, if you know what I mean.And I mean that she's nubile and lean, almost uncanny, with stupid thin and elongated mr.skeletal, almost grotesque, but also sexy in an awkward, angular, teen way.Some of the best arts worth of copying are of asuka. Shit person tho. Maybe one day people switch to uraraka.

>>7294955NTA but>strawmanNo, that's literally what you said lmao, you 100% moved the goalposts there>Krita is bad because it doesn't have (tool)>Krita does have (tool) it's just done slightly different>Krita is bad because they do things slightly different, literally unusable>HOW DARE THEY REINVENT THE WHEELFunny you mention Blender because they did exactly that. Blender's UI is wildly different than industry standard 3D software UI and it's way harder to learn because the software is so complex and has a million different features jammed into it. See this guy here, a professional animator who is used to Maya, absolutely in shambles shidding and farding himself trying to to jump right into Blender https://youtu.be/X6V4JTx1Pyo?si=T9LDZa-sMCodRUUjKrita is very simple and frankly having used GIMP, Photoshop CS6, Medibang (probably the one I've used longer than anything else), and other stuff, I don't see what's so unintuitive or "archaic" about its UI.>Krita doesn't provide anything value worth relearningIt provides at least 90% of the functionality of every other program out there to my knowledge and its free and it also isn't even remotely hard to learn. Maybe if you weren't an autismo-tier obstinate retard who refuses to leave your comfort zone you could, like me >>7294804 >>7294817 be able to learn how to do something new within literal minutes and then get on with your day without having a melty and giving us all secondhand embarrassment.

>>7295126You shouldn't be worried about proportions on a stylized drawing.
>>7295132nta, but stylization at its broadest is just the departure of pure conventions. but there are multiple aspects in which that can happen, proportions being but one among them; just because a drawing is a stylization doesn't mean proportions don't matter.
>>7295132Good proportions bring good balance, though

I have a question about 30 second gestures. When a pose is very static what can you really draw? For example this pose, do you just draw a line going from the neck to the foot and maybe a couple of curves to capture the arms? I don't know why but I struggle with static poses like this.
knees?
>>7295462>When a pose is very static what can you really draw?only one way to find out. experiment, try to get as simple as you can. circles, lines, maybe boxes or tubes. one thing you can do to try to better approach certain kinds of poses is simplified gesture drawing with no time limit. it also helps us to see your results, so we can give more catered advice.
>>7295462I'm a total /beg/ but in this case id draw the way i gaze the picture, so flowing lines upwards while padding some heavyness to the butt region

>>7295613you found your destiny as a wojak artistdo not try to escape it, you will fail
>>7295701i feel like you drew the clothes without overlaying it on top of the body first, especially around where the torso connects to the hip area. I don't think a torso width can concave on both sides into the waist. I've heard measuring from the shortest side of the anatomy helps to line things up
>>7295701>>7295707Further clarification, atleast with that pose, I do not feel the stomach/belly would be positioned within the width of the rib cage because the area circled is meant to stretch/curve outward not inward. hope that helps

Watch the "Just draw" video from Design Cinema.
super new to this whole drawing thing so any criticism is welcome
>>7295737Use lines to convoy 3D shape and depth in 2D. Avoid straight poses and lines. You can strengthen and curve lines with multiple strokes but make them meaningful. For example I can see in her shorts you did multiple lines to bring more width but they are uneven making the form get lost.
>>7295743Thanks but I'll wait for somebody who knows what they're talking about
>>7295744?
>>7295743>you did multiple lines to bring more width but they are unevenwith uneven do u mean line thickness or uneven proportions?
>>7295747Yes
>>7295747I did a quick head sketch and inked it twice. The left one is done with slow, undecided strokes with multiple strokes, the right one is done with fewer, but more thought out strokes with consideration of the over all shape and line language. Which of the heads convoy form to you more?
>>7295754both look terrible, left looks thinner
>>7295754i see what you mean thanks will need more practice for the nice lines i guess
>>7295760That applies to marker type of brushes. Pencil/charcoal type of brushes are more lenient and allow more strokes to build up the line and form. Choose your tools and style based on what kind of work you want to do.
>>7295503i'll try, thank you for the input>>7295540to be fair, she is on her 60s...

I've been out of practice in regards to drawing anatomy, so I did some shape construction tracings to try and get back into gear.The top left was done randomly, no references was used. Is this at all effective for drawing anatomy without needing to relay on references though? I am just not sure if I am wasting my time or not.
After starting to draw digitally i started to struggle when it comes to lines smoothness and i didnt have this type of problem when drawing on paperIs it something that will go away over time? or should i maybe use some brushes to make things less painfull? i seem to struggle the least using brushes that control opacity with pressure
>>7295916the hair needs a lot of work doesnt read like actual hair oes on your versionfacial proportions dont matchhands need workbody looks a bit strange, you need more line confidence try working with a low stabilizer and practicing strokes.
Today I began my breakfast with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. With every sip, I could taste the tangy sweetness of the oranges, invigorating my senses and preparing me for a creative morning. Orange juice is more than just a drink; it’s a burst of sunshine in a glass, making it the ideal companion for any breakfast.Next up was my tuna sandwich, a classic comfort food. I opted for a sandwich with no crust a little indulgence that makes the meal feel just a touch more special. The filling was simple but satisfying: a blend of tuna, a hint of mayonnaise, a dash of pepper, and a sprinkle of celery for crunch. The absence of crusts not only made each bite smoother but also gave the sandwich a nostalgic, almost childlike charm.With my breakfast in hand, I decided to try my hand at drawing. I’m a beginner, so my drawing skills are still a work in progress, but that’s part of the fun. I grabbed a sketchbook and charcole pencils and set to work. I chose to draw a simple scene of birds somewhat inspired by my breakfast.As I savored the last bites of my sandwich and the final strokes of my drawing, I felt a profound sense of contentment. Sometimes, the simplest things in life like a refreshing glass of orange juice, a comforting sandwich, and traditional drawing bring the most joy. It was a reminder that even in the mundane, there are moments of beauty and satisfaction.
>>7295893It should be effective, I don't think it's possible to draw something well if you have no knowledge or memory of it so it's definitely not a waste of time.You seem really anxious about your drawings though, and it seems like you're trying to absorb a lot of information at once and getting distressed when there's little improvement. This is just my opinion, but I think you're overwhelming yourself to try and get back to the level you were at before your break. You don't have any choice but to work with what ability you have in this moment though, so I think this is just damaging your morale. If your focus right now is anatomy, I think it would be better for you to break the body into pieces and work on more focused studies. It may also be beneficial for you to try studying something you haven't before so, you can't compare it to your prior work. If it helps, I think working outwards from the torso is a good way to break down the body.
>>7295923I like your birds and enjoyed reading your post, but the brush you're using isn't very convincing as real charcoal. That sounds like a nice breakfast though so I hope that part was true.
>>7295925I appreciate this.You aren't wrong. However I am confident I can get back to where I was relatively quickly. But it is overwhelming, and I recently came down with a mild virus which made me tired and feel terrible so this likely didn't help recently either. I am currently a NEET and may need to get a job at some point, so I am trying to make as much progress as I can before hand when I'll have less time to draw (and I would like to do commissions properly at some point, have done 2 already but after this next one I am putting a halt to it as I am simply not ready to do them with my low confidence level...no I won't share the comms I did I don't think they are appropriate for this threaed). I'll do one real life study today and then call it, shoulder is hurting and I am quite tired still but should be better in a day or two.
>>7295916Digital will always feel more slippery but you can adapt if you give it time. Using stability features can help, but too much will spoil your line control so you only want enough to account for the lack of tactile feedback with whatever tool you're using. You have to experiment with it. You should also take into account the ergonomics. Are you drawing flat or at an angle and how big is your tablet, are you doing anything different with your body when you draw digital as opposed to traditional.
i just hope that by the time i finish keys to drawing ill be able to draw decent anime bitches
>>7294140Any pointers? >>7295928
>>7295933You're replying to a troll.
>>7295916If you using screenless tablet, wear paper on top of the tablet for better feel and traction. I'm using thick sketching paper on top of my screenless tablet.
>>7295916>>7295919I tried my hand at it
>>7295958I wonder if those "paper feel" screen protectors are any good.
>>7295865I think you're having some difficulty keeping track of your values. The black and white portrait seemed like the best example so I used that one. You can see here that you've painted her eye in dark just like the reference but didn't notice that several other areas of the picture match that tone and should also be dark. Comparing values that are alike will make this kind of study more successful and I think less stressful too.
>>7295961It will destroy your nibs, grinding them twice as fast, and also clogging the tip with stuff, instead of keeping the surface as clean as possible. You just have to get used to the glossy feeling. I remember at first, I even tried to stick a felt in the point of the nib, of course it didn't work, I just ruined a nib, and it didn't fix shit.You want to fool yourself that you're drawing with a pencil in a piece of paper, wich is retarded. You're using a precision tool intended to work as a electronic device, not as a pencil wood on paper. The pencil simulation is happening on the software itself, it has nothing to do with "how your digital pen feels like"This is like when you put those "pet shoes" to your dog or cat, and they will try to take them off, and they will walk funny till they get used to it. This is the same, you have to get used to it. That's why you modify the brush engine options, stabilization, drag, etc. You can't modify the hardware as it is already, only the software.

>>7295916Stick with one or two default brushes you like, maybe a pencil type if that's what you used before, and try not to go too crazy with all the new tools. If you're having trouble with sweat causing friction and making it hard to slide your hand across the tablet and draw straight lines, consider getting a fingerless cotton glove or some other suitable material. I just picked up some old cheap gloves and snipedy snapped all the fingers except pinky.
>a couple of days ago I finally found a brush that clicks for me when it comes to sketching>today I find a brush that clicks for line artyeah, I'm becoming unstoppable by the minute
>>7295991wait this is kinda fire
>>7295916You dont need to worry about line smoothness imo. It will come just as you use your tablet.Your biggest problem is your observational skills. Make sure you're paying attention to shapes. Another anon said drop the image on top every so often. This is fine to do as long as you dont trace. Just do that, make notes of what is incorrect/off and then take it back off and correct.
>>7295967I see. Thanks for your feedback
>>7295952Idk it still feels a bit weird
>>7295991I looked you up from the watermark. The first clue was in your post but I missed it so thanks for having another one in your bio so I could avoid clicking it. That's not really to my taste, but this picture is really great it's super clean and has lots of appeal. If you don't already, maybe you should look into animation.

>>7296025very cool
Could someone please help me figure out how to accurately draw an anime face in black and white? I don't really know what I'm doing wrong
>>7295977Thank you!When I drew that I thought "Lol I should draw a funny face", but I decided not to as I wanted to move on. If you are wondering what that was, I was testing out my observation skills. I need to learn how to draw breasts properly.
>>7296021I dont agree with that
>>7296060I'm a shitter so it's blind leading the blind here, but I'd suggest first trying to get clean linework in place before doing literally anything with hair rendering or shading in general. You should be able to recognize what type of hair she has and the little bits that break the silhouette and the parts that show the direction of the hair even without any color or shading, just by lineart. Check out other artists' sketches and lineart and try to copy how they do it. You should also note that the local value (base colour without any shading) of the skin is much lighter than all parts of her hair apart from the very brightest highlight on the light, so the shade on the top part of her face should be much lighter than any shading in the hair (currently they're the same). After you get proper lineart in place, maybe just color the entire hair with a darker tone and then brighten or darker areas based on that. Similarly, for skin you only want to darken areas based on its light local value, i.e. only slightly and not as dark as the hair.
>>7296080>I need to learn how to draw breasts properlyYou and me bro
>>7296033>Wow nigger are you really going to blogpost and not even share the fucking thing?Yes I amseethe and cope
>>7296115I feel like the nipples should be further apart
>>7296101My main issues are the eye and the expression, I really don't understand how to replicate them at all.How would you do the linework of the eye? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your explanation, I'm really new to all this, sorry.In picrel I changed the brush and tried to follow the color levels of the original one, looks better but the eyes are still wrong and the expression seems different.

Sketchin, trying this out more.
>>7295331>why not lock transparencyYou can do that for quick n dirty stuff but if you're working on a more involved illustration then you'd most likely be better off putting that stuff in its own dedicated layers. It's more organized and harder to mix things up that way, plus you can do more post-hoc adjustment of individual elements if they're kept separate.So say you have flat colors, you can create a clipping mask layer to paint on shadows, and then if you want you could easily change their color since they're on a separate layer from the flats. You could even take it a step further and create a clipping mask on top of the clipping mask, so that you could refine the shadow further without actually changing the shadow layer. Professional illustrators tend to use really fussy layer setups like that. I'll confess I never bothered with clipping masks ever in my life (but of course I'm no pro, I'm a seat-of-the-pants doodlemaxxer lol) but this thread got me to messing with them a bit. Very nice educational moment actually
