Why do I tense up and get stressed when I sit down to draw
>>7358096how should we know that? try to give some more details and perhaps we can help you figure it out.
>>7358096Oh god it's another schizo
>>7358093OP this is the cooler thread image ever. Good job!
>>7358096because you don't touch yourself at night
>>7358102I wish I had been part of it
Is this a good art schedule?One day doing my art, other day copying Bridgman and so on
>>7358115Yeah man why not. You're over thinking it, but to answer your question, yes you will be off to a great start with that

how do you actually get motivated to draw stuff if it looks like shit whenever you dohavent moved past the drawing basic mannequin stage in months cause it always looks horrible
>>7358215Seconding this. I've been doodling dumb nonsense to fill my drawing time or doing really soulless course work. Fun is out of reach.
>>7358215I am motivated by the fact that the process of drawing is fun.
>>7358200how the FUCK did i miss that
>>7358176Thanks! I've never attempted a pose like this at this angle so I'm not too sure myself that I've improved.
>>7358187thanks
>>7358184unfiltered sovl
>>7358219I imagine a story. Then I try to draw a scene from that story.
>>7358215stop drawing those ugly loomis heads. draw something fun or cute instead
>>7358245but whenever i do it looks terribleat least my loomis heads turn out ok
>>7358245Cute and fun even.
>pick your favorite artist on pixiv or whatever>copy their entire galleryCongrats here‘s your silver bullet for getting good at art, no need to thank me.
>>7358213Oops forgot to shade the dudes. And added more shadow to her face so it doesn't look like she's missing an eye
>>7358247I've kept one drawing around of my attempt to copy the loli drawing book as a reminder to never draw from that dogshit book again. When I put that monstrosity on paper It honestly made me quit drawing for couple days. Now I keep it as a grim reminder to never ever attempt to draw from that book again
>>7358254lmaoo, I dropped that book too. Why don't you try to put your skills to the test and when you've finished it, see where you went wrong and study those parts?
last update before I fall asleep
>>7358257hell no. I'm not subjecting myself to that book again. we both dropped that book for a reason, You pick it up again :DDDD
>>7358261I didn't mean go back to that book lol. I meant make a finished piece. Just draw one piece, then look at the mistakes and focus on those parts.
>>7358266Hmm. You know any ways to actually really see your own mistakes, because I think i've grown accustomed to the way i draw and I don't think my brain considers many things I do mistakes but stylistic choices now. So it's hard to know if I'm doing stuff wrong
>>7358275Well, it's always good to have a reference to compare to. Compare and write down all the (major) differences. If you're going off imagination and something is difficult to get right, I'd say write that down too. Flipping your canvas also helps as it basically gives you a new set of eyes, although I tend to do it so much I go blind to the mistakes until I take a break. (I come back and see everything is misaligned and shitty lol). If all else fails, ask someone to tell you what they think looks fucked up, anyone will do really.
>>7358102Thanks homie

>>7358093I heard there is a /int/ discord, I am a man of steal, niggers how do I get in to steal their knowledge?
Some bridgmans.Trying to be consistent before i start memory drawing again.It takes me forever for a single memory drawing that i start having second thoughts and flipflopping to different artbooks.
I'm never choosing a reference with foreshortening ever again but at least this is finished
>>7358406You pulled that shit off though. Nice!
>>7358405Very Bridg, man.Id love to see how you draw hands from memory now.
>>7358406I tried to do drawing with foreshortening and pose that I came up with, that I don't think is even possible to make look good. I kind of hated every part of that drawing.
I wanted to try to emulate the ornamentation of illuminated manuscripts and that shit is really time consuming. If I ever decide to do this again it'll be in a better drawing.
>>7358333less is more when it comes to detailing the hair here.also pay attention to where the eyes are focusing, right now she kind of looks crosseyedI tried my hand at doing some tweaks to it
What kind of anatomy is this
>>7358434The Korean kind.What are you asking?

>>7358434SEXO
>>7358434isnt this the diaphragm
>>7358434Sheet of muscles on top of the edge of ribcage.
>>7358434The serratus muscles connecting with the abs muscles.
>>7358219You're not just going to suddenly love drawing. It's probably just not for you.
>>7358323Anime was a mistake in general.
>>7358462The serratus isn't visible here. And it's not next to the abs.
>>7358494Looks great, but there's an awkward band of the same value going from her right back to her neck.Mind posting the ref?
>>7358498Yeah I see that now. If I spent more time with it I probably would have refined that! Here’s the ref. It’s Ethel Cain lmao
>>7358333
>>7358414Like shit desu that's why i didn't do any from memory today.It overwhelms me into not drawing and i'm just trying to be consistent before i try it again.
>>7358484Maybe. But I've gotten too deep into the sunken cost to back down now.
>>7358500>referencing forensic investigation pictures
I made second pixiv just for my sfw doodles yesterday and my first 2 images already have 45 views both. I'm on my way of making it :D

>>7358544The foot and leg are too big marginallyThe foot being viewed from the side
>>7358341Can you show me?
>>7358599What is the pose actually supposed to be? like what's happening out of frame? what is the other leg doing, is she kneeling like assumed or is she standing on one leg and other leg is propped up on something?
>>7358299>>7358303>>7358304>>7358306>>7358584Quick cat girl I made
>>7358620Kinda like this but from the side and she's holding her leg with her hands though, not her forearms. I kinda don't want to bring her legs closer. Also I havn't yet but I should probably make it so her skirt is interacting with the floor. Idk how to make her boot land naturally from an angle that isn't nearly straight down.
>>7358592OKFix?
>>7358184incredibly sovlful. especially love gon here.keep it up!>>7358323looks amazing!>>7358406this looks amazing too!
>>7358093Some KJG studies . Women are hard.Where’s the studies general?
>>7358653
>>7358659amazing but needs longer eyebrows if yours is the one on the right
>>7358406A way to make it easier is to SLIGHTLY blur loosen the rendering of the non-focal parts, or decontrast parts further away, as you would in a landscape painting, where trees are less detailed and less contrasted in value/color in the distance. Im uncertain but It seems like you might have blurred the face a little- unsure though.Our eyes/brains don't naturally comprehend extreme foreshortening because we'd only focus on 1 plane of depth at a time. The pose spans a distance, so having everything in equal detail and focus makes "correctness" hard to acheive. I think you struck a good balance though, likely because of the contrast the colors on the hand more than those on the face. Subtle work.
>>7358669
>Tfw no depth perception so I don't think I can ever fully comprehend foreshortening
>>7358669nta but that is helpful.ty!
>>7358093I don't know how leg muscles work
>>7358717You should go back to drawing boys, didn't you take more pics of your friend? Just draw him instead

I'm thinking of adding another character to these stories. Let's see if I can pull a new design off.
>>7358786you should add another dimension by drawing something in 3/4ths perspective

Hello beg, i did not die or transitioned. I simply fell into fountain pen rabbit hole and it took me 3 weeks to climb back from it. I made a new project on my blog about it: penmania.

>>7358952I would work on color grading, the base linework isn't that bad at all but the colors really ruin it in my opinion.Picrel is my attempt at fixing the colors while staying true to what you were going for, but I failed. I would try to limit yourself to using only cel shading, try not to shade with black also look up pastel or neon color palettes and use those colors/pick ones similar.
>>7358933tried my best to apply your suggestionstywill recolor the rest tomorrow

Is it true that copying bridgman twice gives you tremendous progress? Do I need to copy every last single tiny figure in there? Is there a more modern version maybe? Maybe something more anime because I'm a retard? Thanks
>>7359019>is it true that copying Bridgman twice gives you tremendous progressYes, but only if you take the time to properly study his work. Lots of anons here half ass the drawings by making them less rendered/overly loose so if you want to get the most out of it, you have to try. Ideally, you’ll see gains the first run through.>do I need to copy every last singly tiny figure in thereYes.>is there a more modern version maybe? Maybe something more animeYou can always do Morpho which a lot of anime artists use or Taco, maybe study manga panels. Bridgman is really going to solidify your knowledge of anatomy, shading, and forms. It’s up to you to dictate what you want out of your artistic progress to decide if Bridgman is who you want to study
>>7359019Yeah, copy Tony Taka twice instead.https://e-hentai.org/g/3057008/e043224ae2/

Today is tummy day in Japan. Can I get any ideas on how to make a belly-focused pose that isnt fetishistic?
>>7359129Maybe two sumo wrestlers fighting?They do push each other with their bellies sometimes.
Is there a reason to do construction beyond the head, chest, and hips? I feel like mapping out every limb with cylinders or other shapes just makes the entire pose stiff and you're better off going with the flow.
>>7359134I meant a pinup
>>7359137Make the wrestlers sexy then.
>>7359135Yeah i usually just draw the arms/legs without construction, unless i'm doing a pose with a ton of foreshortening
>>7359134Make them chunky kitsunes.
Lay it on me
>>7359159would
I despise neets and welfare leeches who get to drw all fucking day so fucking much.
>>7359159(Lay it on me)Lay me onI'LLLLL BEEEE GOOONEIN A DAY OR TWOOOOOOO
>>7359086Anon, you gotta draw what you see if your gonna practice doing copies. You're doing digital so just overlay the copy over the original and write down the mistakes like the torso being too big, the frills not being attempted properly, among other things. If it helps, just trace the darn picture then copy the lineart you just created 1 to 1. Your observation skills need work.
>>7359112Quickie follow up, part of a worldbuilding thing
is construction basically a cheat?
>>7359198>is using your brain basically a cheat?
>>7359198It's the opposite, a handicap
>>7359163In that case you should also despise Investors that sit on their ass all day and watch their money grow while collecting dividends. Only difference between them and a NEET is social status.
>>7359198It's just training wheels. It helps you to understand the volume of forms in space. Once your brain internalizes this you can just trace the feeling of the forms only relying on construction for more technical pieces or complex perspectives.
How can I improve my gesture drawings? What do I need to focus on? This is one of my best ones, took 3 minutes.
>>7359086drawing is 95% thinking/observation and 5% motor skillpic related was done with mspaint and a mouse (mostly the line tool and eraser, since I never draw with a mouse and don't have any dexterity with it)
>>7359198anything that makes drawing easier is a cheat and a bad habit and you're a bad person for even considering it
>>7359238DON'T LET THE SLOP TAKE OVER! PICK UP THE PENCIL!
>>7359238you're fucking retarded. Go do you performative bullshit on twitter with all the other attention whores.
>>7359088This from Xiao too?
>>7359245Just admit that you're weak
It always makes me smile when I see "proompters" try to false flag with random gens from Pixiv or Civitai because they're too lazy or dumb to even open up the program and type the words themselves. Too lazy for AI, too lazy to draw for real. Makes me feel a lot better about myself.
>>7359252Dang that's crazy.
>>7359252it could have been a trap you set up, it could have been a real drawing but you pretend it's AI to lure people who say they're sure it's AI, so you can then humiliate them by telling them it's not. Although I realize this, I'll take the “risk” of telling you that I'm 100% sure it's AI, I recognize it at a glance.In the same way, you recognize at a glance that picrel isn't AI, you just know it. It's true that AI is (relatively) good at imitating say 5% of human art, but for the other 90%, it's not the case - when you take one look at a drawing that's part of that 90%, you don't even have the slightest doubt in your mind that it could be AI.
95%* lol
>>7359261if you're making soulless art for “consumers” and normies, you do indeed have something to worry about (for a manga where the visual context of a panel is always related to the previous ones, good luck making a good manga with the randomness of AI)
>>7359263in reality, when you make a manga, you make the visuals in relation to the various narrative contexts, not the other way around. these are just empty, impractical demonstrations.
>>7359248Yes, it's a good book. It's probably for the best it isn't shilled as much as it is, because it does have some questionable takes, but, I'd say it's also more modern in what it teaches.
meh
>>7359287The pose says "I'm standing still and aesthetically sexy posing for the camera" when it should say "I'm running and tripping, there's a monster in the room!!"
is it just me or is anime more difficult to draw than humans, other than lips of course. anime just seems irregular, like the positioning of the mouth and eyes changes based on camera angle, where as real drawings obey physics
>>7359307You have to adjust your construction to accommodate anime proportions yeah
Starting my drawing journey (once again)Currently sitting in a mental hospital in eastern europe, after which will probably spend some time in a homeless shelter So basically I have a bit of free time at the moment Also I was told that there is an instructor that comes here and teaches drawing, but she is on vacation at the moment... disappointing...Also I can't understand if I am having fun and enjoying drawing or if it is just the depression that seems to make me feel apathetic, but it seems to at least distract me from my thoughts, so that's nice Anyway here is a feet drawing done as the first exercise of Keys to DrawingLeft foot came out a bit smaller than intended (or right foot larger)
Here's a pair of fingers and an apple... (and a crumpled paper that I was too lazy to finish)
>>7359340
>>7358093My drawing speed and copying accuracy is increasing but I still don't get the forms and gestures. Watching Vilppus tutorials didn't work because even while watching him draw and draw along I couldn't get the feels. What should I do to get forms and gestures correct? How can I "Draw over the forms"?
do you guys actually enjoy the process of drawing or just the results? i really want to learn and get better and produce cool art but the drawing itself is so tedious and boring.
>>7359348I turn on some music and just vibe. Makes the process more fun for me at least. Usually The Doors as their song lengths are good for timing a piece
>Stop thinking too hard and only doodle>It's all garbage even for my standardsIs this normal? I usually draw from reference but I'm surprised at how shit my doodles are
>>7359344You're already drawing over the forms. Look at the torso center lines you made, take the top right one, you started it where the collar bones meet in the middle you followed the form of the ribcage with a slight curve, and then you dip into the navle and out over the lower stomach again, if that's not "drawing over the form" I dont know what is. Imagine you're drawing directly on the surface of whatever you're drawing. All your circle around the limbs are a really handy tool too which shows form and direction.
>>7359348i'm a simple person i enjoy the process because i draw my husbando and special interests
>>7359210I am just ver angry and frustarted because my neet art cooleague keeps getting better while I have to wageslave with no alternatives.He gets to draw all he wants, grind and even get leisure time in vidya while I have to sacrifice sleep to draw a bit after coming home and even then I am already spent from the day and I have to sacrifice anything that isn't drawing to use that little time getting nowhere while he gets to enjoy his time to the fullest.Seeing him upload his art that easily surpassed me in a few months while I am at work and how he also has observation talent to draw well and without mistakes at first while I have to autistically measure shit to copy wrong and redo over and over just makes me salty.I know many will say "Just draw bruh" and to not compare oneself to others but having just what you fucking want right in front of you and having it rubbed on your face really hurts. I wish I was good and could make better stuff with the little time I have or that I at least only had to work part time.I envy people who get all the support they need to reach their dreams.
>>7358093Is making progress supposed to take this long like in pic rel? https://x.com/noahbradley/status/1854296289699045526?t=HzMZwRMhIFABPxVocG0bUQ&s=19

>>7359424>>7359428Looks like getting into paiting as fast as possible is the way.
>>7359431Learn to draw ands compose first. I tried to skip straigt to paint and uit fucked me out of 8 years that I wont get back.
>>7359344Vilppu is tricky because he explicitly draws out the initial abstract idea of gesture in line, which is a sense of general direction based on what you can actually see. It's a guide to loosely follow when drawing that helps inform you how to design your lines, shapes and structure. Many artists don't do this though, they are however of course aware of it and start with shape or structure and design it to show that sense of gesture, "skipping" the initial step that Vilppu and Hampton do.I like Steve Huston's description of gesture as it's simple and concrete. 'Gesture is the curved long axis of a structure'. I wouldn't say gesture is always curved, it just is. However the sense of a straight gesture tends to be stiff and boring so we design our lines, shapes and structure to make it curve. Gesture doesn't just move in the X and Y axis, but also the Z axis, it can come towards us or move away. This leans into the "feeling the form". Imagine a 3d structure in your mind, a cylinder that is made of glass. Start drawing a line across the surface(crosscontour line) from the visible area to the the hidden area, all around and connect it . Use your arm in the air as if holding a pen that is going over the surface as if it's really there. Turn it, try again. IVisualising and interacting with this mental model is "feeling the form", imagining where lines would end up despite not being able to see it all. It's closely related to understanding perspective as well as the saying "think like a sculptor". Grab some photos of figures and draw lines over the surface. Or do some of those Dynamic Sketching exercises.Can hint at parts of anatomy for example to emphasise the gesture. It's a tool. Made these images a while back regarding gesture, maybe it helpshttps://postimg.cc/PCkV5pBX
>>7359433Sounds like a you problem.
How long will it take to draw like this? What do you think the workflow was, scan pencil and color on computer?
>>7359436It was. Studying software now. Good Luck.
>>7359441you too.
>>7359019>Is there a more modern version maybe? Maybe something more animeThis is a lost cause already
maan. I went to every single big store in my city in search for a clipboard to draw my doodle on. None of them had one. wtf. why are those things so hard to find. do i really need to order one online
Sup /beg/. I'm on my sixth day of a 30 day drawing challenge, and I wanted to check in to see if I'm approaching things smartly.I've just been drilling cubes and circles, then spicing things up with circle-shield faces. Occassionally I'll try to practice some more complicated pictures by reference, but the bulk of my grind has been those shapes and face proportions.How effective do you think this is for a complete beginner? Should I be focusing on something else?
>>7359019>Is it true that copying bridgman twice gives you tremendous progress? Do I need to copy every last single tiny figure in there? Is there a more modern version maybe? The book by TenTen is probably closest to it. https://e-hentai.org/g/2367763/1b25ad2999/
>>7359019Doing any of the commonly rec'd books and copying the drawings while paying attention/being thoughtful (i.e. not rushing) will give you tremendous progress. It doesn't have to be bridgman. But it is one of the books that focuses on individual body parts, which makes it easier to digest. If you're not getting something out of copying a book you probably are focusing on the wrong things, like trying to mimic the style vs learning why the drawings look a certain way/what they are trying to convey
when do you graduate to int?
>>7359469>How effective do you think this is for a complete beginner?efficiency is not that important in the beginning, just develop the habit of drawing for funbut if you really want to grind, spend your time on observation and accuracy (i.e. copy simple drawings you like 1:1)
>>7359475I watched a video that showed an artist drawing every day for 11700 hours, and he didn't start drawing art worth sharing until he was 2k-3k in.If you draw an hour a day for a year, you only put in 365 hours. If you want to get better in any reasonable amount of time, just drawing for fun isn't going to cut it. Know what I mean?
>>7359459Why didn't you check if any of these stores had them stocked?
>>7359459Go to homedepo and get yourself a square piece of hdf plywood. And then pick up some art clips from your local art shop.
>>7359477in the hindsight I should have, but the 4 big stores in my city are like 1km apart. I just kinda assumed atleast one of them would have something like stocked. my drawingsheet is just getting thinner and softer to draw on after every image I finish, gotta find one from somewhere
>>7359476>If you draw an hour a day for a year, you only put in 365 hoursif you enjoy something and have fun, you're more likely to spend far more than just an hour a daybesides, what is a reasonable time frame for you? professional degrees take around 4 years full time to go through (around 11700 hours, coincidentally)
>>7359476Why draw if not for fun.
>>7359482My post, I'm a retard. I feel like I rendered this piece too much and should have gone for a more simplistic approach. The point was to highlight the belly as I wanted to make it the main focal point
>>7359481I don't mind how long it takes for me to get good, I just want to be decent as soon as possible.>>7359483It's not that I don't want to have fun, it's just that I'm churning out dogshit right now, and I want to be able to be proud of what I make.
>>7359478I might just actually have to do that at this point
>>7359471Damn japs.I can't read your language i can only speak it
Thoughts? General is fine, I don't know enough to know what things I need to work on. I do think that need advice and guidance on lighting/highlights and making things look appealing, though.
>>7359491that's chinese
>>7359439>How long will it take to draw like this?as long as you need to >What do you think the workflow was, scan pencil and color on computer?Try to find the artist and look for videos of him, this looks very similar to the art of Michael Spooner or Bengus, both use a sort of wash underpainting and build up saturation.In the case of Michael Spooner, I have the following workflow from one of his trainees while working on Treasure PlaneVellum or tracing paperErased colour pencil underpaintingPrismacolour pencil Black pen for lineseraseadd a little bit of gouache This is trad, but knowing how he does it helps to find a way to reproduce it digitally.
>>7359471Tenten is good but I wouldn't call his book a contemporary bridgman. I would go for steve huston and morpho.>>7359494It feels stiff, especially the red thread, I would love to see it thinner where the tension is and droopy where it hangs.
>>7359435>explicitly draws out the initial abstract idea of gesture in lineDo you mean flow pre-sketch of gestures by a few lines or what NTA
Drawing a character that's simple and turning it is hard.
dumb bitch
>>7359500I can't read that either
good morning sirs (woke up at 6pm)
>>7359582Well, you did a good job of it here.
ditys
me
There's a bunch wrong with this sketch, I know, but I spent so much time trying to recreate Canello's little half-smile here, and I can't figure it out. Anyone have any advice?
>>7359623How did you become so scribbly?
>>7359629A-whoops
>>7359620
>>7359629Literally who
>>7359635Canello Alvarez! A mexican boxer.
>>7359633wait is that her?
>>7359629He looks like he'd shoot a kid that witnessed a heist.
i can now draw anime girls and do sex with them digitally. man, my dreams slowly come true>>7359630always has been, also nervous and virgin mindset
>>7359620please refrain from posting lust invoking images, I'm doing no nut november and almost came in my pants yesterday thinking about my sister. ( she wants to fuck me always when shes drunk)
>>7359665Express your chastity via art
>>7359665Does she have sexy feet?Would you let her suck your taint?
>>7359631>>7359629That's funny anon
>>7358093Perspective made easy. Christ, this was tedious, but I learned a lotttt so on to the next.
>>7359647Hilarious
Are there any resources for rendering latex with ink and pencils? Notable artists? Tutorials?
>>7359665
>>7359653>draw anime girls and do sexHow does that even works?
>>7359718what’s your hand drawing process? tell me or i’ll kill myself
>>7359734Well. To be quite frankly. I grinded all of morpho's simplified forms then studied hogarth's dynamic hands whenever I found myself struggling to draw them from imagination. Now whenever I draw from reference it's a breeze. The secret really is just getting mileage anon haha. I really sucked at drawing hands a few months ago.
>>7359713https://e-hentai.org/g/2871460/1b9ce339be/I was looking the art book section of this websites and happen to come this just now.
>>7359701Good shit
>>7359752Thanks anon
>>735975>>7359755>>7359755
How’s the anatomy/perspective
>>7359562The lines indicating the flow stuff actually is the gesture already, all the other stuff you add after that is for solidifying the figure with basic structure which in turn follows the gesture. Adding the outer edges of the form(containing) and wrapping lines to show the orientation.Vilppu's shtick is one thing leading into the other.If it's still confusing, or i just explained it badly, just use the definition of Huston which is as clearcut as can be "Gesture is the (curved) long axis of a structure".
>>7359276thanks, but I didn't think it was in english
>>7359763this looks like a human halfway to animorphing into roger from american dad
NEW THREAD>>7359755>>7359755>>7359755
