Im stopping here, I don't like my art it feels really directionless most of the time and it's pretty ugly too. What should I study to develop a better style / comptetence for drawing Venus women
>>7341663It's fine you're delusional
>>7341665It's static and flat which equals boring and unappealing.Picrel - more dynamic pose
>>7341665You could make good content for mommy fetishists. The shapes are good but it feels a bit flat, maybe because of the lighting.
I've accidentally made a bi flag.
>>7341690mogs the entirety of /asg/
>>7341690That hand is nightmarish
Did some changes, thanks for adivces anons.>>7341690I love it! Dress is beautiful.I guess her horns could be a little lower but nonetheless you did amazing job.
Hey guys, I'm trying to decompose /fig/s into their basic shapes, are there any youtubers who you think have a good understanding of this process who go through it? I want to reference the same images that they draw, draw my own versions, then compare
>>7341695>mogs the entirety of /asg/Is that supposed to be a compliment? That's honestly not saying much anon...
>>7341711i like the drawing, no need to be passive aggressive
>>7341663The extended seems arm is too fat and longUnrelated: here's a doodle I did because I was procrastinating w art.
>>7341705richard smitheman, the membership is worth it but not necessary.
How do I get started with painting besides doing greyscale still lifes?
How do you make static poses look so dynamic?Araki's done it a bunch, but i just don't get the principle. I guess that's what 50 years in the craft gets you but still.
line art study
No. I won't be reading loomisI will continue to draw my anime girls with lovecraft esque anatomy.
>>7341726gesture + contrapposto
>>7341733Nigga i can't even do Loomis.
>>7341727Always set the scene.
>>7341733>Really like Araki art>Don't give the slightest bit of a fuck about tradart because it's not about gay men with punching ghosts.It feels awful to be a midwit. I wish i cared but i just don't and it sucks.
>>7341740then start with loomis!>>7341742what do you mean? he draws traditionally
>>7341719Thanks, I felt it was a bit too thick too.
>>7341745>what do you mean? he draws traditionallyTradart in the sense of the traditional sculptures and works of the great masters of the old and w/e.I realize there's objective value in those which is why Araki among others have looked back at them so fondly, and had gotten inspired by them.Meanwhile i'm 104IQ so i literally do not care about the sculpture of David or the Mona Lisa or whatever the fuck.I just look at it and i get bored instantly. I don't have appreciation for quality, and i only like JoJos because they're the zoomer attentiongrabbing subway surfers of manga as far as concepts go.I realize i should care and be in awe of those things but i just do not give a fuck
Some shit I worked on from an anon prompt.Both are 30 minutes. I think having an idea of what you want helps a lot.Obviously Both are shit. But I think I did much better on the right.
>>7341741I want a Casper (1995) sequel so damn bad.
>>7341752I think you just don't like art retard.
>>7341752Dangerously autistic
>>7341775>>7341773I just want to do better but i don't think i have the inherent capability to. I want to care about things that i know for sure are of worth, i just don't.
>>7341777Trips of honesty.Poking fun aside anon. You should find inspiration from what interests you.However. Studying is studying. You might find a lot of old art boring. You might find a lot of traditional art not very inspirational. But you're not looking at them to be entertained or inspired if you're studying. You're trying to understand their method.It's okay to be bored. If you're such a child you can't work. It has to be play. Then you're fucked.
>>7341665Every time a beg does not use refs, an african dies by torch and I love knowing this is factual
>>7341720thanks
>>7341814I'm doing my part. Are you?
>>7341835I made a tribe extinct
I didnt realize how hard armpits are
>>7341843hag armpits are too sour for me. you fucked up the face's thirds
>>7341835>>7341837My beg art not bound by any laws of reality is the second leading cause of death only beaten by AIDS there.
>>7341848Hag armpits? And ye true that i still have improvement to make
I posted this drawing a couple threads ago and redrew their faces and part of their heads (thanks anon for the help) and I started coloring, but while doing that my pen nib started to become loose. I'm away from home, so I don't have my extra nibs with me, putting me on forced leave until a new tablet I ordered as an opportunistic upgrade arrives.It's been 4 days now, and I've begun to look down on this drawing.I think I should do better to visualize the objects in perspective. I believe Satori's shoulders are the only proper thing.My list of insecurities for now:"Shorten far side of monk's head. Juts out too much.His left ear should be moved forward and enlargened.Twist Satori's sleeve into the armpit. Not directly in the armpit, but in that direction.Chin makes Satori's face look 2D.Rotate pinky further right to align with hand array.Too little depth. Leave space behind things. Redraw eyes, but you're not actually drawing the eye, but the context around the eye. The line at the bottom is actually the indent of the cheekbone."
>>7341869Looks pretty cool. Though you have to remember humans look at faces a lot so that needs to be tighten up. Get proportions right-doesn't need to look like the person, it has to at least look appealing to the eye. the way the sketch lines mix with your shading makes her lips look messy, and try to subtly put in the brow ridge for females.
bb
doodles i did tonight
>>7341884>>7341869these look great>>7341865youre doing fine just finish it when you get your tablet back>>7341882arms way too small but cute
how can i improve my gestures?
>>7341918by going back into observation and taking your fucking time
>>7341922>You must do whole pages of 30 second gestures to git good >Also take your fucking timeFor fucks sake.
>>7341922Respectfully what the fuck does that mean?You people just say random shit
>>7341925why do you think every single fucker on this hellish earth teaching art starts with observation drawing and not gesture drawing
>>7341922how people respond to this normal ass comment determines a gmi beg and a ngmi beg
30 min studies
>>7341929>bro you gotta start with gesture>bro you gotta start with observation>bro you gotta draw super fucking fast>bro you gotta draw slow and take your time
>>7341935Here is the definitive answer. You should have started drawing at 5 years old.
>>7341935you start with gesture for putting ideas down in a composition so you can work on your art later with referencesyou start with observation drawing because you are a beg and knows nothing yet
>>7341935you start with gesture in the drawing itself, without the context of learning as a beginneryou start with observation when learning. learn observation before starting gesture. you can just overlook gesture for nowyou start slow when learning, then speed up with time to get mileage
>>7341935Tell me one skill you start fast
>>7341918the first one is ok. idk how long ur taking for each one but feel free to start at 2 or 5 minutes and really try to capture the contours and movement of the body throughout the gesture. the more you do it the faster you'll probably get. The four lightly drawn ones are kinda stiff me thinks.
>>7341935gesture is a definitive meme. being fast is a meme. like >>7341945 said, you don't start off with the triple backflip.
>>7341658Asking again >>7341508
>>7341752>the sculpture of David or the Mona Lisa or whatever the fuckThey're just good as references
I realise that this is kind of a troll question but genuinely, how do you bring yourself to practise and learn art when struggling with depression?
>>7341969no one will make what i want so i bring my vision to life myself, practice is a meme, knowledge to get my art from start to finish is pure gold
>>7341969Where is that greenpost of fellating a gun barrel? It was from /ic/

>>7341658Current level from imagination. Struggling at the moment but I will power through.Is there a point to doing exercises from imagination anyway? or should I adhere to reference for the time being? I read a post saying I would get to dependant on refs if I only did that but it might be troll advice. Decided to give it a go for funsies.
>>7342008Nice colors bro. Alcohol markers?
>>7341931You have to find the shapes and understand the form anon, you are symbol drawing and it's hindering progress. It's most noticeable in the eyes but it's all over your art. If you work on this you will see crazy improvement pretty quickly.
>>7342031no, refs are fine
working on something
Day 22 complete!

I feel like I am making progress but I fear to get stuck on bad habits.
>>7342037You not going to comment on this>>7342037 being symbol drawing then?Interesting that...It's also interesting that you haven't called other peoples drawings symbol drawing.Tell you what, go through all the drawings and point out which ones are symbol drawings with a red line like you did with >>7342037
>>7342119On this one being symbol drawing I mean >>7342070
>>7342091Watch the neck and how it connects to the rib cage and the head otherwise it's pretty good.
Any tips on coloring backgrounds similarly to the below picture? I've done a study of it but I wasnt able to get the correct look. Appreciate any resources or tips
And here's my copy. Inked trad, scanned in then used clip studio. Also appreciate any critiques on the study generally
>>7342127It's all there. Flat de-saturated colors, he seems to use subtle gradients only on water and skies. And that's it. About picking colors, there are many online websites with color wheel calculators. You chose a color and the wheel will show you the correct color combination.
Sorry for the stupidly huge file. Heres a smaller one with a couple of fixes
>>7342130Noted, cheers
>>7342119NTA but wow lol. I hope you realize one day that you are your own worst enemy
>>7342135The torso looks like it was compressed from both up and down. Legs are too short. Arms look inconsistent in proportions. The face looks weird. You need to observe the figure more clearly. Especially the feet and hands.
>>7342137Cool story
>>7341945Running
>>7341969You don't. You just muse about breaking the streak of inertia until it's five years later and it'd feel retarded to even try after all this time.
>>7342037thanks for the feedback, I'm still struggling with getting the proportions right, so measuring is what takes most of the time, so in the end I don't have that much time to focus on smaller stuff, but I feel like I'm getting faster at that
>>7342156>get critiqued>"but what about that other guy huh?"
>>7342172As someone who started running after covid, no. Unless you want a heart attack
>>7342254Found the gaslighter.
>>7342255No such thing as covid
>>7342269i love you
Wrong again. Idiot.Its not "gaslighting". Im lying to you. And I'm not doing it to "make you feel crazy". Im doing it because its fun and I dont respect you. If that makes you feel "crazy" its probably a you problem
Finished a commission.
>>7342309did they specifically ask for 4 fingers and 4 toes
>>7341814the fuck would a ref help here you retarded dunning kruger
>>7342325posing
>>7342325>the fuck would a ref help with a drawing>calls people retardedThis is a whole new strain of stupid.
i'm really lazy to finish and fix everything, so it's just bunch of my drawings in a really long canvas trying to pretend to be comicshttps://files.catbox.moe/ahfaa6.pngi will never make it
>>7342329the drawing is posed well and the anatomy is correct the fuck would a ref help? If you think this needs a ref you dont actually know how to fix this drawing and you're a dunningkruger
>>7342337you are not even the same anon who drew that, get a grip
>>7342310It's cartoony. Why are you acting like 4-fingers isn't a popular trope?
>>7342344the character your shit is based on has 5 fingers and 5 toes and isn't some fantasy gnome creature or whatever, people will call you out on it every single time.
>>7342309This would look better with thinner lines
>>7342309How did you get commed?Like where do you post, who asked?
>tfw stuck being a constructoid instead of being able to just draw
>>7342372Based.You can draw in building blocks anon. You can draw anything.God i wish I had what you have
>"to drooow a head you need to drooow a ball blah">can't draw a ball, only a deformed alien egg or a rockit's over, it's wiser to give up and embrace ai slop than to train my talentless ass to make barely acceptable marks
>>7342337I don't find the pose very natural. But that's just me. I still like the work. But I could see how having a reference could help make the position more fluid.Looks very rigid
>>7342344I guess it depends on the request. If that asked for something on model it might be a fuck up.
Weak bait
>>7341658Looking for tips on both drawing butts and drawing expressions.I mostly can only do very simple smiles and frowns.
>>7342390ref
any critique welcome frens
>>7342390Your face is flat and rather small.And the butt is weirdly shaped.
Some studies i did yesterday in intervals of 1, 2 and 5min.It's been a while since i made a solid study on anything involving art due to personal reasons, so i was just sketching almost every day when i had time and was bored, and i must say i feel that i developed a lot just from that, even if i still seeking more time to study more specific subjects, like this one. I will show later the second last gesture study i did a looong time ago later.
>>7342390>>7342405It's not the butt, the butt is perfect, it's all about the legs. they need to be shaped,
>>7342419Looks worse imo, "snowman effect".nta
>>7342392You can't use references or else you're not a real artist, only fake artists use references
>>7342419Please never try to correct anyone.
>>7342419Too shaped.Jarvis reduce thighs by 15%
>>7342382The ball is just scaffolding, you'll erase and draw over 99% of it anyway it's just there to give some underlying structure for the details you put onDon't worry about drawing a perfect circle just use something close enough
>>7342420>>7342436>>7342439The "amount of shape" on the legs will have to be on scale proportion to the "amount of shape" on the ass in question. And that ASS is humongous, wich is fine. But, You can't do skinny legs on big asses. Otherwise you get that disgusting LARDashian effect, with some flabby hanging lard-ass on top of two skinny-fat matchstick legs flopping around bellow.
>>7342490You can write a book about this mate, all that matters in the end is how it looks and yours looks worse.
>>7342490I didn't say skinny did I?I said you went too far in the other direction. Reduce it by 15%. You'll still have thick thighs. Just not comically thick.There is a tremendous amount of middle ground between the two iterations
How can I actually become good if not great at drawing? I am 23 years old so worried it's too late.This is around all I can do, ms paint doodles, not even a body. Just sameface doodles for nothing.Just no loomis or Drawing on the right side/Keys to drawing, that didnt work out for me at all.
>>7342397What's on his helmet?
>>7342498Your bait thread didn't work out so you downgraded to a bait post?Kinda sad
>>7342498You already have a better grasp than most beginners. >I am 23 years old so worried it's too late.Even if you only plan to live for another 10 years you still have plenty of time.

Ranma progress I've made. So in what circumstances do I use a hard brush and what circumstances do I use a soft one? I've been taking to using the airbrush a whole lot but I feel like it's a crutch.
>>7342430trueReal artists simply tap pure information from the aether directly into their brains about whatever they're drawing instead of using refs
>>7342509it's true. Creativity stems from the spark that the infinite has bestowed upon us.
>>7342509I think he means you should learn drawing methods to create original characters/fanart of characters in unique poses, although that is just references with extra steps.
>>7342508ranma bro do u think about using construction at all?
>>7342508If you think the brush is your issue you suffer from permabeckness
>>7342500Its not bait. Why assume its bait? Look, either lets be honest and talk drawings or go fuck yourself>>7342504Though i do not practice construction at all, I dont get it right now.What could I use or need to do? I only doodle now.
>>7342497I know. I'm just trying to make a general basic point. So you can clearly see it even from the thumbnail. Tuning up that proportion is up to the artist.>>7342493Nah, it looks better.
>>7342523Well the answer you're not going to want to hear is to practice construction. Like I said it seems like you have a solid grasp of facial positioning, you just need to ingrain the muscle memory of knowing exactly where everything belongs to escape the picaso-ness of your current sketches. And yes, unfortunately that does mean to practice some Loomis heads if you want to ever feel like there's depth to the drawings
>>7342538Ok understood. Is there no alternate to Loomis? I dislike the guy myself.What material or book should I pick up? Should I, honestly I didnt study like lots, just act and start as if brand new?
>>7342508you would've progressed so much further just by picking up loomis and learning basic construction
>>7342509This is 100% accurate>>7342512>t.no spark
>>7342508Draw a 3d Loomis head right fucking now and post the result.
>>7342499it was supposed to be a sort of decoration
>>7342509Anatomy is what i say it is. People come in all sorts of shapes
>>7342547I suspected as much. I would decide what you want as a helmet filigree or ornament and take another crack at it.Obviously it's a small space to work in but I think making the head of the "hero" less muddled will add to the piece greatly.
>>7342541There are alternatives but unfortunately that's research you will need to do yourself, because I'm not familiar with themI don't think you need to nerf your practice just because you're just getting into studies, like I said you already have a strong foundation, I would just jump into early tutorials and absorb the advise that applies to you, and skip over stuff that you might already know.
Studying thick female anatomy. Hope I'm doing it right.
>>7342561Im about to BUST
>>7342556Strrong foundation? I cant even do or attempt a full body. Its scary really.
>>7342309How much did you charge for this? I feel I'm almost at this level of skill. Would be could to earn some small cash while practicing.
>>7342542>>7342546I did just order "fun with a pencil", is that the book to use to learn construction? And do I just copy what Loomis draws to learn?
>>7342567No retard. If you want to draw anime just watch Mikeymegamega tutorials. No need to read a book from the 70's.
>>7342397Is he walking or running. The pose looks like walking. But the splash at his foot denotes some degree of impact.Or is that like gore? Or something else I'm misinterpreting?
>>7342564>Strong Foundation?Like I said, you already seem to understand the relationship between facial features, now you just need to learn how to place and position them realistically, and rotate them in a 3d space. You have a good jumping in point that many other people don't. >Its really scary. That's the hardest part of drawing. Every single artist eventually has to confront shit that they know looks bad because they are learning. Once you get past that hurdle, you're golden.
it feels so peaceful to draw on white
>>7342572But if Loomis can help with my gainz I'd wanna do that, amigo
>>7342390find more reference
>>7342553I think you're right anon, thank you. I might've overdone it but it does look better>>7342581walking. the idea was that the sword power lingers in both the wounds left with it as well as the footsteps left by its wielder. changed it a bit to try and sell that idea better
>>7342561I have now just realized I was fooled by her boobs and made her ribcage too big.
why is drawing the line you want so hard
>>7342679Activate line stabilizerDraw the line fast to avoid hesitationCtrl+z if you didn't like itRepeat until you doThis is what I do. As your skill progresses it will require less tries.
>>7342682>Activate line stabilizerewwww
>>7342684Or don't. It will just take longer to achieve results although you won't be dependant on it. Draw however you like.Btw line stabilization helps emulating the result you would get from trad (friction irl helps stabilize the line) without it it feels like drawing on glass.

I understand why this board is filled with miserable crabs and permabegs. Everyone who gets good leaves. There's no point in hanging around people who have no redeeming qualities. The constant stream of demoralizing threads, pointless and retarded arguments. I've only spent 4 months here and it's become apparent this place is a crab bucket save a handful of people who are actually trying to get good. The anonymity of this board makes it impossible to actually take anything at face value. The only answer was to never come here to begin with.

>>7342596your faces have been a bit cuter lately, try doing master studies eventually
Chocola from sugar sugar rune What do you guys thinks is wrong And what parts should I improve myself on ?
>>7342911This is good advice that I guess I knew intellectually but hadn’t really taken to heart yet. Thank you.
So you could only post one file huh
>>7342383Original artist here. Stiff posing had been one of my biggest weaknesses I've encountered in drawing. I was considering doing dynamic sketches and not posting anything for a minute just so I can finally drill in the skill set. But yeah I think it's a few things aside from that and no reference. The coloring is piss poor the composition is dogshit. It feels like I drew a flat sketch, lined it then filled the remaining space with random shit hoping to create some kind of scene. She's a hundred times bigger than the boy but there's no sense of size. Idk but my drawings all have a 'feel' to them and I don't like it even if some parts are well done
>>7342940work on gesture for stiffness and make sure you study form more as well for the 3d forms of the body and head, youre doing pretty good anon just practice fundies
>>7342940refs
>>7342883cute
>>7342909The drawing or Norafawn?
What do y’all listen to/watch while you draw?
Nene from friday night funkin with a big head and boring pose. The lighting/ shading looks really bad but i cant pinpoint exactly whats wrong (besides the fact that its pillow shading)
>>7342989Powerwolf and other similarly cheesy metal bands, like Hammerfall. Sometimes I listen to armored core soundtracks.
does anyone remember that thread where someone asked for corrections on front facing bara dude with his cock out, and a lot of anons did their own takes on the drawing? I need an archive link to it but I cannot find it
>>7343002it was of miguel from spiderverse search miguel in the archive you're bound to find it
>>7342928The shoulders look narrow
>>7342989Nothin'.
>>7342920>>7342365I mostly look for commissions on discord art servers.
>>7343015thanks>>7342989mostly video game Soundtracks cause i'm based and redpilled
>>7342863Is this better?
>>7343006Yeah, did that deliberately. Does it look bad? I was trying to make her figure even more appealing.
>>7343036It does look a bit strange, yes. You dont have to draw it as wide as the ref but not as narrow as this. Also the original pics shoulders are curved and lower
feeling too happy with these, can someone nitpick them for me?
>>7343055you need marmalademum's goat leg tutorial to feel the form
>>7342928女の子のカラダの描き方 キャラ骨と肉感をつかんでセクシーな女の子を描く
>>7343060they're meant to be lambs/sheep, but i guess it's all the same shape-wise. thanks
>>7343060not that anon but this rocks for showing how femur shapes affect the leg cause thats a huge difference, do you have any more like this?
>>7341935Have you ever considered all four of those are true? Alternate between gesture and observation, and do short/long studies for a well-rounded diet.
Pen to paper. I know the perspective is fucked
use more straight lines at first and check for their angles compared to the ref. easier to spot mistakes
>>7343086>>7342928
>>7343071i still like it
>>7343071Make a Twitter or something, I really love your art
random tomboy i drew after studying kill la kill settei
How bad is it to have your practice all over the place? Should you focus on one goal at a time?Pic related was my practice, half figures and half random. Should I have just focused solely on one subject instead?
>>7343125it's enough to make you wonder sometimes if you're on the right planet.
Did this in about an hour and a half, homework for drawing class. Done in charcoal
>>7343125>Pic related was my practice, half figures and half random. Should I have just focused solely on one subject instead?you're applying figure drawing to the 5 1/2 head manga figure, so it seems pretty straight-forward, you're not getting lost.>>7343129charcoal's a tough medium do you have a holder? nice going.
is it normal for an imagination pose to take like 10x longer to make it look good than a ref'd poseprobably going to do a partial ref next time cause it takes me like 2 hours to do it otherwise
>>7343146nvm it took me 3 hrs for a sketch how am i gonna be gmi
Day 23 complete!
>>7343157It doesn't matter how long it takes, just keep going you'll build up your own shortcuts and it'll be faster eventually
>>7343165what software are you using? awesome drawing btw
>>7343170Im using a crappy website known as garyc.me/sketch, but im also using an alternate client to the site that grants me eraser, line, screentone, etc.https://sketchy-bot.github.io/sketch/Also thanks!
improved on wip from an old thread, gave up on trying to draw anything below the neck
My computer's out for repair so I decided to challenge myselfTo fucking accept my mistakes by practicing hands with only a pen even if I'm cringing right now as I'm typing my post and looking at all my mistakesIt wasn't actually all that bad all things considered, might do it again
For some reason I'm not sure about this one... but I can't really tell why I don't like it that much. Maybe it's the colours? What do you guys think?
>>7343205Also maybe it's something to do about it looking off when zoomed out? Pic related was my reference
>>7343205Reminds me of KONNICHIWA DUDE
>>7343208FUCK
>>7343205Moved some stuff around, I think you made the eye too big and too far forward. I also lowered the ear and changed the angle of the jaw since the tilt in your drawing isnt as extreme as it is in the reference but all of this is just matter of taste.
Never studied anatomy in my life, this is such a pain
>>7343224start with the simplified forms book not this one
>>7343226Ah that's a good tip actually, thanks.
>>7341835
>>7341969If you're struggling with internet usage/doomscrolling, I bought a time lock box and it really helps. I put my two phones and my PC cable away and set up a timer.
>>7342102My favorites are the frog and the fish :) You like drawing animals?
Here's a hand study/doodle I did yesterday. I think I'm kind of improving, but I'd probably benefit from doing some kind of lineart, as a lot of details get lost in the construction scribbles.
>>7342705New pasta just dropped
>>7343112I like the pose coupled with her expression
>a piece of mine was accepted for a local gallery showall smiles.
>>7343061English only
>>7343170That is symbol shit
>>7343293All inventive drawing is symbols
>>7343293it's symbol but it looks cute
>>7343222I see, thank you anon
Fuck staying in the lines I'll just erase whatever spilled over
>>7343086>>7343087Ah I see, yeah you are right. My hips look a bit weird. Thanks for the advice, I will be following it.
>redraw old pic from a few years ago>fundies better but old one looks better>old pic has stronger shapes and more line confidenceim never gonna make it, how the fuck do i replicate my retard symbol drawing shapes but better
>>7343061What did he even mean by this? Are there actual nips browsing /ic/?
>>7343293All "anime style" is symbol shit.
>>7343205Feel like it has down's syndrome eyes.
My painting technique is an inconsistent mess full of ad-hoc solutionsWhat exercises can I do that will make it more coherent?
>>7343308I never hear anybody go on about it being that way though.Why dat??
>>7343240That's cute. Nice work anon.
>>7343307It's the name of a book. Google what he typed and it should take you to an amazon link
im too lazy to finish it properlyany crit appreciated
>>7343318Dude that's what painting isRemember happy little accidents?
>>7343334Im too lazy to critique it properlyRead the sticky i guess idk lol
>>7342905Hi doggie.You are my favourite customer.
Alien or snake monster?
>>7342970Oh my good Lord.
>>7342989Tubular Bells II right now
>>7342989post rockhttps://youtu.be/fYgT7K6bSVU?si=_Py-FPNTVllBX1AV
>>7341665it's good, but maybe do practices on specific body parts only. neck, back, ankles, knees, fat rolls etc etc, focusing on the lighting on those parts.
>>7343344Guess i shouldve expected that
Is there future for me in arts?
everytime i draw some character i like i feel myself like esdeath-dude
>>7343424How can you draw so much?Don't you have to wagey?
>>7343340Well every artist I like seems to have had a solid base of technique and then also allowed for some little accidents to happen.
>>7343434much? it's not even much, about 1-2 hours per day. at least this sketch took me about 15 minutes, i wanted to experiment with 1-pixel brush.btw i study at uni where i do nothing and also get enough welfare to don't work
>>7343411Yes, you have the disease. It will haunt you till you die. Just know that you don't "have to" be an "artist". Follow a career, have a life, and do art for yourself and for your own personal enjoyment. Don't let it become a nightmare putting you life on an eternal hold, waiting for a dream or a breakthrough that will never come.
>>7343447>15 minutesOh it makes sense now. That's why your output is high but quality is low.Spend some more time on it man, carefully construct and add some more linework instead of the scribbles.
>>7343449

>>7342718Thanks. I had already seen that vid, but everything else's new for me.Also I realized that what I really wanted to ask is: how artists combine foreshortening + fish eye perspective, exactly? Even if I'm crap at both for now, feels like I won't progress anywhere until I understand what's combined and where and by what principles, exactly. Attaching a fresh practice scribble for good manners.
Holy shit half of my gainz go away when I try to draw an OC without any references.
>>7343475Good perspective work though
>>7343448That's hitler's painting
>>7343344I tried hard on this one especially for you.P-praise me anon
>>7343093https://imgur.com/user/SSTFpaintinghttps://www.tumblr.com/setsneedtofeed-hobbistI post to both along with my other hobby stuff. I haven't really ever figured out twitter
>>7343515nta but nicechin's too pointy though
>>7343528doing the line art rn, ignore the ear. is it still too pointy?
>>7343527That guy ALWAYS asks for peoples social media accounts for him to follow and now that he has begged you to make one really makes me wonder as to why he insists that people give their accounts for him to follow.He will just say "I just really like their art so I want to see them progress" but I have the feeling that he goes around asking for peoples accounts so that he can have a list of people who he can ask to do free commissions for him.
>>7343532NTA but yesYou could handwave it away as something about preferences, but, since you're asking, hide channel vid on faces (easy to search up just by this) points out what kind of a chin fits the bishounentachi best
Tried to render 1 anime tittyNipple (and rest of the drawing) will followEventuallyI don't know why but when I draw breasts, the closest one always looks like shit
Jaws sketch
>>7343540I have watched this video but I guess I still suck, I will look at it again
>>7343552>>7343552>>7343552new thread
>>7343244I just love drawing most things, to be honest. I like drawing simple animals like fish since I am new. I started drawing some humans for my 6th day learning how to draw: https://files.catbox.moe/rsv9ru.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/i9wz70.jpgPicrel is my final drawing for today. I also started Peter Han Dynamic Sketching course, I don't know if it's good or not for a beginner but a friend recommended it to me.
15 min repeating timer and no poasting make anon a dull boy
>>7343334it's good, I think most of the lines on the trousers don't need to be there though. if the trousers are pleated, perhaps mostly show it through shading, with a few key lines, and don't overlay the fold lines over the pleats, because the crossing lines makes it too busy and unnatural.
