Trying landscapes. Colors I do are ridiculously pale compared to to original, though I really try to keep the original value... So to make a pretty pic I have to adjust colors using sliders and layers...
>>7362833
On a new PC. Can anyone help me with why CSP has color mixing greyed out? I can load up a project file from my old PC and the brush looks great there but I make a new one and its awful with the ink settings disabled.
>>7362836your understanding of color value is what is lacking. It's very common for people used to representing value in black and white. I'd recommend color studies in addition to your landscape paintings.
>>7362839Thanks. I've read about color value, but in practice it's quite tricky.. I'll study more
A single pineup is taking way too long. Also i should have made her bigger, some of the details i want to add are impossible with this size
>>7362842Head angle look kinda weird imo
Responding here>>7362665 #Day 5ish here and have the opposite problemI seem to be drawing much better than I should for how much experience I have, and it is making me nervous because once reality comes back on I will be devastatedThat being said, 9 days is not a lot for progress I think, but you should be proud you have been at it for almost 2 weeks now! My couple of attempts have always failed after a day or two, I'm on my longest streak as well I thinkKeep going!ps thus tranquilliser is started to make m looopy

>>7362853>My couple of attempts have always failed after a day or two, I'm on my longest streak as well I thinkyep, same. i think i'll stick with it this time, the pewdiepie videos are really motivating because i've been really blackpilled about learning art skills after age 12, but he managed to do it at 35, we just have to stick with it and try to improve.
>>7362856Asian guide and technique vids got talent inserted into me so you're wronk
>>7362846When I was first learning color value and theory I'd take images I liked and try to accurately pick the color then eyedrop it to see what the color actually is compared to mine then note the difference in hue, saturation and shade or tint. Also depending on the program you're using you can set up a color profile for that switches your colors to black and white values. As a matter of fact, I'd use a color palette and try to order ROYGBVI from brightest to darkest then switch it to black and white to help you internalize that. It's definitely tricky but it's not as hard as you'd think and on the plus side once you get color value down color theory comes a lot easier.
>>7362857I am 26, next spring I will be 27 It's kind scary learning fo draw at my age, but just need to throw such thoughts away and keep going Just keep going It wish you (and me) and taking this path to the end, and wish me good because I cam barely stand at the moment

I wonder how I can compose these 3/4 panels? Maybe I should just go with a slideshowI know the proper way to do compilations like these is to come up with the composition first then draw the individual scens, but that doesnt vibe with me, its less fun>>7362850plenty size imo, also is that really a pinup?>>7362842broken neck, but i think people don't care about it, 180 degree neck spins are common in digital art
>>7362919>Not giving her massive torso sized breasts>Not giving her a massive dick>Isnt getting fucked inside the cowVery technically good drawing, it has a nice to follow sequence and the from below shot looks quite nice.Blog?
>>7362919Please hang yourself at the earliest convenience
>>7362824First attempt at mixing digital and trad, what do you think?
>>7362919I guess it is? Its just an anime girl floating in the void. Size wise i got fucked for drawing the nails and the zipper of the bag but its probably just me being shit.Also what the hell is that fetish anon. Might be challenging to compose since the panel where you see below the "cow" doesn't really fit with anything imo.Maybe add one extra panel that lead into that and get you ready for the sudden change of view?
>>7362919this reminded me of 38 drawing his waifu being roasted alive inside a golden calf i didn't need that reminder
>>7362919Should draw her bound inside a breeding mount getting mounted by horses. J-just saying...
First shot at loomis' method. Way, way better than how I learned it from DLAS.

>>7362836is this digital? how do I achieve the grainy and diffused look in the right sky? it looks so dreamy.
>>7362829Nothing wrong so far, right?I am new at perspectives
>>7362957Just 1 image?
>>7362957I have noticed that I need stronger shit to get my rocks off. Will my porn addiction take me into having to see women cooked alive inside bronze statues to coom?How do porn artists manage to stay focused enough to draw while devolving much and much more into this shit? Take Eigaka for example. Fucker is very skilled and talented and has some insane throughput but is coombrained to hell and back.
>>7362928>Not giving her massive torso sized breastswould conflict with the hogtie pose, i think I already pushed the breasts as far as I couldAlso pushing the breasts through the hole is too obvious>Not giving her a massive dickJust different strokes for different folks, I think huge balls with small dick is more obscene, and works better for subs>Isnt getting fucked inside the cowi guess im just too asexual to be interested with sticking her with a dildo or something, I wanted to draw a panel with some kid (ambiguous) punching her balls and a reaction panel but I ran out of energy>Blog?pornmeiser on twitter, ill start dumping my stuff later>>7362938I always though there's something hot about the brazen bull but I don't like snuff, maybe just heat it up enough where you can pass out but not more?
>>7362962It's noise filter in Photoshop, and some textured brushes. But mostly noise I guess
I hate digital with a burning passion but it is so much more convenient than trad.
>>7362986Uh yeah that's the point.
>>7362986You can still appreciate trad by being able to walk around and sketch whatever that comes to mind without any power supply reliance or worries about cracking a screen
>>7363004Brother are you fucking gorilla? Do people actually worry about cracking their screen? What the fuck?
I know I must turn off my flawed sketch and paint but I'm so lost without it. >Diddy corrections made opIt's so over...
>>7363007I mean you can drop or throw your sketchbook wherever after you're done kek
>>7363004Yeah I constantly worry about cracking the screen on my Intuos.
>>7362973My porn tolerance went haywire and found myself jacking it to scat.It horrified me and I've been trying to quit ever since. I still lapses once in a while but I am improving to the point that the hardstuff start to look disgusting and I want to see more clothed stuff.Quit porn, guys
>>7363023Yeah nah see. From my point of view I think you're fucking vile, but here I am cranking it to futa when I used to think this shit was repulsive. Porn tolerance is real and it's so insidious in how it happens by the time you're as far gone as you are some people don't even realize they're cooked.
>>7363021clean up your lines, homie
>>7362850Not sure if the hair is any better?
>>7363023Same but with loli
>>7363023I'm a total gooner and I've pretty much never jacked to anything worse than what I remember first turning me on when I was a small kidEver wondered that you might just like scat? Mozart was a scatophile, animals love shit, think of it this way
>>7363051NTAonly if you want to say that people just like anything at all if they can be neurobiologically conditioned into it
>>7363055I think people are coping, they just discovered they like some gross fetish and trying to go scorch earth on their porn usage thinking it will unring that bellBrother, I guarantee you there are people who jack off twice a day to boobs for years, you're just degenerate, live with it
What does Talent mean? Are you born with it?
>>7363033jesus christ please read this book and copy it it's in the artbook thread.
>>7363080forgotr pic
>>7363078It's just intelligence, anon.
>>7363076evil and retarded baiter
>>7363076there are arguments for escalation but years of true crime content will teach anyone that some people are born with wrinkles in the brain that force them into bestiality, scat, sado masochism and so on. nobody "builds up" to that shit.
>>7363023To all the coomers, coomerism is a sin, destroys lives and families. God loves you and through him you can stop!
>>7363083My IQ is 113, my sisters is 80 and she draws better than me so it can't be that
>>7363102Talent and ability are very different things.Talent won't do shit for you if you don't draw.
>>7363025Normal porn to futa (& trans) is arguably "the" pipeline of porn. Most if not all male-female porn has the viewer focus on 2 things: female form and male dick. Makes sense that the brain would "optimize" for futa. But scat means you have a mental condition.
>>7363099>nobody "builds up" to that shit.proven wrong by most basic bitch neurobiology, neuroplasticityneuron clusters grow towards neurotransmitter rewards, rewards have a chaotic degree of distribution with what's affecting them ranging from your thoughts at the moment to hormonal balance at the moment to environment at the momentmake a wrong turn and your curious experimenting brain trying to find more neurotransmitter rewards can get you into a loop if you leave yourself unchecked
>>7363115I'm glad I always just fapped to lewd images of anime women and not actual pornography of people fucking but regrettably I am an architect and goon to anime bbw and often anthro.
>>7363121>make a wrong turn and your curious experimenting brain trying to find more neurotransmitter rewards can get you into a loop if you leave yourself uncheckedthis is the operative phrase. at some point, you need to willingly jack it to guro and scat to become conditioned to guro and scat. there's also a preponderance of evidence that coomers spend years in their "happy place" be that ass, tits, feet or whatever. and yet, something forces some coomers down dark roads. nature vs nurture argument continues on i guess.
>>7363128>you need to willingly jack it to guro and scat to become conditioned to guro and scatwillingness isn't binary since unconscious influence is involvedyou don't decide to jack off to what you find vile when you're unaroused, when you're unaroused>nature vs nurture argument continues on i guess.at the end of the day it's easy to change either way, whether some gene is triggering some more neurotransmitter release over some patterns (which happens, and which is not the final damning sentence) or not
>>7363133>you don't decide to jack off to what you find vile when you're unaroused, when you're unarousedthis is only relevant for terminal gooners who must be predisposed to these actions because the normal jorkin it process for coomers is feel horny, look at boobs, blow load, back to game. you're describing someone who enters into an aroused fugue state and suddenly loses the ability to discern attraction between boobs and shit piles, implying something was already different in this gooner's brain.
>>7363121Exactly, you reach for stronger stuff but scat is only more arousing for people that arleady have a scat fetish. For someone who likes tits they'll reach for higher def, higher number, maybe bugger tits, but not scat. Like with drugs, you reach for bigger/stronger doses but you'll never start eating shit, you'll eat shit if you like eating shit. It's so simple that it's crazy you got that backwards, I guess that's what copium does
drew yuri
>>7363144your point implies that everyone is always a rational machine comparable to a digital computer>>7363149>Exactly, you reach for stronger stuff but scat is only more arousing for people that arleady have a scat fetish>fetish is when... 1.5 more neurotransmitter molecules may be produced over somethingthanks for proving my point that your epic fatalism is completely irrelevant to practical reality
>>7363149it has to be a predisposition otherwise the porn market wouldn't be dominated by normiecore. but it is, because that's where the vast majority of coomers stop, ie, they see asses and titties, cum, and stop thinking about it. but some gooners enter into it with goonerbrain, don't get the high they need from tits, don't get it from traps, etc, until they land on scat and assume the escalated instead of just popping the "fetish" balloon on their dartboard.
>>7363159>your point implies that everyone is always a rational machine comparable to a digital computermy point implies the opposite, that brains are different and some people are just born liking shit or S&M or whatever. it just takes a natural exploration of the pornosphere before they find the category that lights up the proper regions of their brains. "exploration" is misdiagnosed as "escalation."
>>7363153Oh my God! Hot yuri scene!Cool but limbs are too different in sizes, and it doesn't look like that'd be for foreshortening

>today she is doing aptitude testanyone else who likes to draw pen and paper, what kind of pens should i be using? Currently I'm just using normal stabilo pencils. I'd like to get something better, but I don't really know what I should get

>>7363203not when they're about to fail aptitude test :Dmy gondola's are a kind of hybrids between spurdos and gondolas
>>7363102My sister threw in the towel after 20 years of being /beg/. I doubt she dedicated more than 100 hours total to actual study so who knows where she might be if she applied herself.
>>7362996I meant shit like thisYou aren't drawing shit here. You are just using a fucking asset and putting it on the canvas. Glorified photobashing.You know what I like about trad? It is raw. You have paper, you have pencils, lets fucking go.Whenever I see digital "artists" workflows where they transform entire layers, trace over models, use a myriad of different layers to play with the lighting and filters and shit and how different it is from just taking a pencil and drawing I wonder what the fuck are they even doing?I like digital's convenience because I can use layers, erase and undo easily and everything is locked away inside a drive in my computer instead of having my degenerate shit on my desk but I despise how utterly sterile and fake it can be.
>>7363201Koh-i-Noor Rapidograph is my favorite. The .35 is on Blick for 35 USD before shipping which is pricey, but very "buy once cry once." That is expensive though, instead for 7 USD on Amazon you can get another good pen, the Signo RT1 in a 5-pack.
>>7363207Reading shit like this makes me want to kill myself.What is study, what is drawing for fun? Where are all the "Just draw" fags when shit like this happens? 20 years a beg? Is she disabled?
>>7363208does anyone actually use these brushes? it seems like more trouble than just drawing the shape yourself
If I can draw a basic orthographic projection of a figure in front/side view, am I good to start learning 3d? I don't have to be concerned things like gesture, perspective. composition, etc. if I am just drawing a character T-posing.
>>7363216Look at any twitter post advertising the brushes (especially the free ones) and you will find hundreds of artists replying to it.
>>7363208You know what's raw? Charcoal on a cave wall. I'm sick of you graphite and paper users with your ability to erase if needed. Back in my day you got what you got and that was it.
>>7363221"Everything after Altamira" was meant as a freeing statement for a reason
>>7363219Hundreds of artists are also ass. Most people photobash poorly. The workflows you're discussing are also present in trad with things like camera obscura, light trays, mixed media. There's different ways of creating. The one thing digital has over trad is that it allows for rapid creation of art because of the lack of downtime that you'd require with something like oils.
>>7363210>Is she disabled?I mean she probably has ADHD and autism but really she just didn't have to try very hard to get the validation she wanted. When she realized how hard it was to make money with it she gave up within a few years.
>>7363209I'd much rather use pencil than pen. do you have any recommendations on those?
>>7363230Just as an FYI, this>anyone else who likes to draw pen and paper, what kind of pens should i be using?implies looking for ink pens. Typically, "pen" is just the ink type, and "pencil" is the graphite variant. I like sketching in blue though, so I often use the Pilot Color Eno. It's super cheap, I think it's 6-ish USD for a .7mm pencil and the box of leads. Pentel makes a good .3mm pencil, the GraphGear, but I think it's pricey. Those are my most used typically, or a very old Staedtler Mars. Leads vary, I mentioned blue, for the .3mm I like 4B, sometimes I will use another .7mm (I think it is a twist-erase but all the markings are gone) with 4H, and for the 2mm leads I use 2B.
>>7363221Oh, sorry? You guys had the luxury of charcoal?Only thing we had was our blood that we could use WHEN we got cut by something that we didn't know that would make us bleed.That's what we had back in our day.
>>7363189Here's a very quick and dirty redline with construction and style examples. Try following the example on that construction, and then repeat the construction itself.The issue is in the construction and how it's treated.You didn't seem to cut off the sides of the sphere to have the general shape imitate a skull (noticeable by how you've drawn the far cheek), which isn't good, since, in this view on the head. it helps to define how you're going to draw the far cheek, the close side of the jaw, and the back hair.It's also good to remember that the ear level is close to the eye level (experiment around), typical non-Western anime proportions have the face take the lower half of the head, the face isn't exactly a flat shovel and so the eyes aren't placed flatly, the dot nose position is based on giving a subtle highlight to the tip of the nose if you would've drawn it in full.Also, in your case, drawing the lip edges makes no sense when the mouth is fully open. In a typical smile, anatomically, the upper lip's rather straight, it's the lower lip pull and cheeks pull that form the smile.Don't rush it, do designated study sessions next. You'll love your improvement.
I'm currently away from any means of engaging in digital art, so I've just been using inks and markers. To shade, I've just used hatching and occasionally left white spaces on more reflective materials. Are there any other ways to do shading with a rather limited color palette? I'm thinking I could try greyscales.
>>7363239Is this a shitpost?
>>7363243every minute a troll spends creating a shitpost is a minute that he's not improving. it really is a display of arrogance.

>>7363025>Porn tolerance is realMaybe for closet fags like you, I still think futa is disgusting and deranged just like everything else that isn't just basically straight up vanilla, then again I usually just jerk off to naked (purple) elf women.
>>7363225how hard is it to make money with it?
>>7363234my bad there I was a bit unclear. in finnish "pencil" and what it translates to just kinda refers to all the wooden variants of pencils. I guess propelling pencils would be the ones with leads inside. thanks for the recommendations though

I have always drawn on paper but I saw a small tablet on sale and decided to buy it. It's insanely uncomfortable to use and lines are all over the place. Any tips?
>>7363282No worries, I understand now. Honestly I don't really use wooden pencils much anymore, but I did use a couple of these Cretacolor pencils down to nubs at one point. They are pretty big and got used a ton when I would sketch outside and super tiny details weren't important. But yeah all my pencils now are mechanical or propelling.
>>7363239Why do we have to share the thread with this shit
>>7363301it's probably just cris again call the janny and hide the post
>>7363239I see, I'll plan some studies around the skull and construction. I was going for a different angle but i guess my alignement were wrong if that’s what you got out of it. I saw the mistake on the ear and made it bigger. It’s still not accurate position wise (and neither is the mouth) but its based on big animu artists style so it should be fine (hopefully).Shitpost or not thanks for the detailed answer.Heres the construction model îmade btw>>7363243What’s shitposty about it?
>>7363309Dios mio el diablo de /beg/ o algo
>>7363282If you're interested in wooden pencils, it's hard to go wrong with either staedtler of faber-castell.a 2B, 4B and an 8B pencil of either brand will serve you very well, with the 2B being good for light sketching, 4B for lining and the 8B good for putting in darker tones and shading.
>>7363239You'll love your improvement!
>>7363259
>>7363351Awwwwwww lad.Well done. Looks great! ^_^
>>7363023I started off jacking it to scatIts so fucking over
Too tired to draw for real today so I was screwing around
>>7363420This guys looks asian for some reason
>>7363293Tape paper over the tablet and draw.Otherwise unironically buy an used Ipad Pro or get a used Wacom cintiq pro on Ebay. Both cases you can find something for at least 800-1000 USD which is actually a steal for the color accuracy and precision you will get and you will actually feel like you're drawing traditionally instead of moving a cursor around with a weird ass mouse instead.
Trying to draw a tank shooting at another tank way off in the distance. This one’s turning out harder than I thought it would be. Tanks are almost all straight lines but the perspective/forms for the turret are giving me trouble. Even using reference images and booting up warthunder for reference Im struggling to get this right. Should the turret use the same vanishing points as the hull since they’re connected, or should it be different since the turret is rotated? I tried making the turret’s vanishing point where I’ll eventually put the rival tank (The main tank’s target) but Im not sure that’s working, I tried to have it a bit beyond the rival tank, but that didn’t look right either.
>>7362836Looks very dreamy and nice. I really like the far right one. You've inspired me!>>7362885Looking good
I did dis
>>7363457This is more realistic than most anime art proportionally. She has a nice set of guns. I get tired of huge busts and asses and pencil-thin arms. It has a nice minimal style of shading that isn't cel slop.
>>7363475Yes, you're a special little guy with the most recognizable style. Is that what you're fishing for?
>>7363489not really :D. I'm just kinda curious if I'm starting to actually get consistent
I wonder if anybody'll tell him.
>>7363489I realized someone might actually start following me and got embarassed. had to delete it quick
>>7363189well did you use reference? Your mouth is really fucked up for instance, and so are the eyes, etc don't draw shit you don't know what it looks like>>7363239Chris is that you?
>>7363498you were too slow, I got you now goober
>>7363187
>>7363440The turret should have different vanishing points since it's rotated. Lines that are parallel in reality go to the same vanishing point--when the turret is rotated, it's no longer parallel with the body.If you're using 2-point perspective the turret's vanishing points should still be on the same horizon line though since it's level with the body.I think the main issue with your drawing is that the turret is drawn as if the viewer is staring down from a decent height. At that angle, the horizon wouldn't be visible.Also notice that the vertical lines on your turret are splaying out--their vanishing point is above the turret.In 2-point perspective they should be vertical (vanish at infinity). In free hand, they should point inward (vanish below the tank).
I feel like I'm getting faster, but I still struggle a lot with procrastination.
About halfway into Loomis figure drawing. The muscle stuff was a bit of a pain to draw but it looks like from here on it get's extra interesting. It does feel like he doesn't go super deep into how to actually go about establishing the initial mannequin, so I still suffer a bit from getting from blank page to initial mannequin but I guess that's just reps

>>7363505Yeah but not close enough i guess. I redrew the mouth closer to the ref, ill check for other stuff tomorrow
Rough concept
>>7363360Back to loomis
could i please get some crit on this?
>>7363682this is nifty
no idea what coo coo bird's colour palette is, never seen a film with him in it.
>>7362935Please I need critique on the rendering and colour
>>7363710yummy. latex or velour?
>>7363716Latex
Why does this look permabegmaxxxxed?
>>7363726My guess is the line in the center. It doesn't follow the curve of the sweater
>>7362829Drew a succubus based on the generation I got from perchance.org/succubusgenerator. I'll probs change her design down the road but for now I wanted to keep close to the results of the generation as best I could.
I wanna cope and say I only have half the resolution but I'm really js beg. I wanna get this over with. >>7363726Your forms a lil funky. The collar is probably the worst offender. Lineart could always be better. >>7363710The scribbly black ruins it for me dawg. Your working in digital here right? Color over it. >>7363685Todo...>>7363669Cute, show the ref. Better yet, overlay the ref over your drawing and see how exactly off it is. >>7363641Haha wait I js realized, why were the balls being milked in the og one, i don't think it directly comes out the sack. This one makes more sense conceptually.
>>7363733Hot. Her clothes are made of her hair?
>>73637261. Even on soft clothing, folds are fairly sharp and bunch up gradually around the chokepoints at the elbow and wrist. Make up your mind on whether or not you want the sweater to be loose or tight, you can't have both.2. Make sure your contours are actually round. There's no reason they should be making sharp turns at the bottom of the breast.Also, I'm sure you're aware your lineart is crap. Try using a brush with pen pressure on opacity instead of brush size like I'm using, it's a bit more forgiving to small mistakes. You can always line over it later if you like black outlines.
>>7363742Nta but do people really use pen pressure on opacity for stuff like lineart? I've seen it in the settings but never knew why you would want that besides painting and rendering.
>>7363682Loooooong neck
>>7363744I use it for sketching, it mimics the feel of a pencil better. You can feel out lines without making any significant marks or lightly trace out a form several times and the additive lines will usually darken the most accurate parts.Line weight on pen pressure is really not used as much as you might think. Most of the time it's best to just use a small fixed size pen and manually draw out areas thicker lines. I exaggerated it quite a bit here to illustrate the point.
>>7363751Ah! That makes sense. I will give this a shot next time. Thanks!
>>7363702please... i want to know what i should focus on...
>>7363734nigga just drop it you're not getting anything more out of this piece move on
>>7363758Arms looks a little too long, feet looks like socks, and something about the head is bothering me. Rest looks good anon. Grind heads, figure out feet, and draw from imagination if your imagination is getting rusty.
>>7363761Is that true?
>>7363775no
>>7363734
photoshop, want to add shadows behind those trees but even on the background layer they show up through the trees. is there some kind of setting to make them completely disappear when they intersect with color from any other layers?
>>7363818your trees are transparent, color them in all the way or erase the bits intersecting on the shadow layer
>>7363610sounds like coping closet faggot talk to me
>>7363826can you give me advice on painting them in, then? my pen tablet is kinda shaky and they're small, is there a fast way to fill them in while being accurate and not bleeding all over the background? my painting style is usually very quick and sketchy
>>7363831push harder nigga. if you cant get a solid color you need to change pen pressure settings
>>7363780You’re on the right track, I would spend some time focusing on arms though. It’s really tricky to get the proportions/foreshortening right and also not make them look stiff at the same time.
>>7363834alright, thanks for the advice. I decided to shade the trees darker and it worked splendidly. Now I have another question; I'm absolute dogshit at perspective, and I want the view to be looking over the character's shoulder towards the horizon, where do I start on improving my perspective?
How often am I supposed to sharpen my pencil? is it supposed to be sharp? When making small sketches it feels like lines are too thick, but when trying to shade a "sharp" tip doesn't do it
>>7363843Spend a few bucks on a 0.7 mechanical pencil and some 3b leads. And lay down your wooden pencil so you can draw with the widest side of the lead when shading. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lrXu6h5Y6o
>>7363293What size is it? What do you find uncomfortable about drawing on it?
>>7363021
day 5ish of learning to draw didn't bother with the face, my drawing is too small and pencil sharpener the hospital staff gave me is shitalso erasers are not working wellalso probably don't know howdoing mostly observational drawing and don't really know much about getting proportions correct yet
here is a yesterday drawing hope it doesn't rotate as well
>>7363865Looks good!
>>7363201CUTE!
>>7363866thanks! the dress was/is pretty confusing!also I think I should have drawn bigger, pencil isn't sharp enough as it is
>>7363734It wasn't about being literally milked it's about partial exhibitionism and potentially getting groped against your will
>>7363867>>7363869
>>7363751>>7363742Thanks a lot anon. I understand the fix on the breast lines and making the neck and folds less shit but I dont understand crap about the lineart.Why does my lineart look horrible while yours look great? I only know the japanese way where everything is ink black with varying thickness but I retardedly fucked it up.Pic for example. I am not into the series but I mean stuff like this.
>>7363815AAAAIIIIIEEEEEEE
is the head too small for a loli?
>>7363890hatsune miku's mother
I drew circles. Why is drawing circles so hard? How am I supposed to draw anime girl heads, tits, and asses without these?
>>7363903Start drilling anime girls right now!!!! Draw as many as there are circles in that picture!!!! Then look at them and see where you fucked their shit up and fix it!!!! If you don't you will be drawing circles and eventually cylinders for 5 years like that one guy!!!
hi bros, why does this look so bad? what's my biggest flaw? I'm hoping to understand what I fail in
2nd full body drawing (with a far simpler pose this time). I'm not sure how to have better colors/shading, especially for the face. I'm struggling with values...
>>7363922>what's my biggest flaw?low observational skill. it'll get better over time.
>>7361881Thanks for your help again.>>7363927How in the world do you do those backgrounds? That is what i struggle with the most. Take way too much time trying to get em right and end up just doing something simple instead.That Luka is super cute btw
>>7363922You can check your work directly by overlaying your reference over your drawing and seeing exactly where you messed up.
>>7363928I've been drawing for some years now, if it hasn't gotten better by itself I should proactively work on it, I'll practice some more>>7363934you're right I forgor, thanks
>>7363860
>>7363944Make sure you go back and fix it too so you get used to drawing your subject accurately.
"Simplify from Observation" exercise from Proko's beginner course. I'm overall pretty happy with it, though I couldn't quite figure out what to do with the mouth
Started studying how to draw today. How do you cope with being creatively bankrupt?
Critique? Based on a statue of Alexander the great. Ik i gotta deepen the shadows but I could only use a basic school pencil so
Also did this one as well.
This one's a bit of my usual semi-realistic style, also a bit of an older drawing as well
>>7363960can't speak for everyone, but I've been drawing for about 4 years now and have never cared about being "creative." people want to express themselves through their art and/or gain some relationship with a given subject, but they don't merely want to be "creative," they want to produce something of quality. what exactly that means differs from person to person, but the vast majority of people don't possess the skills currently to produce the quality they desire - and some are far, far away from it. so the idea of being particulary creative *now* has never made sense to me. focusing on the craft now is going to get you to your qualitative goals sooner, and in the meantime you can study how to be more creative, look at videos on the subject, books, etc. people ironically hinder their progress by worrying so much about being "creative" in the short-term.
>>7363953you're right, I'll just keep doing these
>>7363929Thank you so much. For that Luka I saved a bunch of underwater pictures I liked, stared at them for a while, and kind of just combined everything I liked from those pictures into one background. I also think doing it with a paint-like brush makes it easier for me.
>>7363970I got my own ideals, so you can keep yours. without creativity or uniqueness art has no meaning.
>>7363976>without creativity or uniqueness art has no meaning.something banal, however unoriginal, has meaning.
>>7363704>>7363748Appreciated
>>7363956Made alterations after watching Proko's demo and critique videos, I think it's a lot better now
>>7363981you don't have to be original to be unique
>>7363988depends on what you mean by unique and the scope of your analysis, but even conceding that, art doesn't have meaning by virtue of its singularity. most unique ideas are bad anyways.
Hello.I'm starting to get into digital art and currently am lost in which techniques and approaches to use.Should I do all the linework with a sharp brush then apply some blur later? Should I use a soft brush but with fixed size? Should linework already be colored or blended with a separate colors-only layer? Which should be the average resolution of pieces? Are there brush thickness guidelines?Those are some questions that are preventing me from delving into more elaborate work. Appreciated for any help, in advance!
>>7363990so that's it then? you choose to denounce all uniqueness because other people failed?
>>7363991Personal preference and style is the answer to all of these questions.You're just starting. Play around and you'll know what you like and what works for you.
>>7363991Its your first time? Experiment, draw something and post it.
>>7363992>you choose to denounce all uniqueness because other people failed?never denounced it
>>7363997it sounds like you have aversion to it at least
>>7363903Boobies and booties are not perfect circles anyways.
>>7363998as I said in my OP, most people - by their own standards - are not at the technical level they want to be at. so even if they were to be as "creative" as possible, they wouldn't be able to produce their ideal works because they don't have the skill yet. so worrying about being creative in the short term is actually hindering their progress; if they were to focus more on the craft, they would be able to produce their idealized works much sooner (assuming when they got their, their ideas still conformed (enough) to their technical ability). that is my main point.
>>7364003>when they got theirthere*
>>7364003I think you should always strive for ideality, even if you can't reach it. otherwise you might lose your way
>>7364012it's your choice at the end of the day, but you are (un)knowingly hindering your own progress.
>>7364015so be it. you are hindering yourself in the long run. but like I said at first, we both have our own ideals
>>7363922Try blocking it in. Draw an envelope around the subject and try to fit it inside. Establish the height, width and angle of various parts of the body. Then draw your construction lines on top of the scaffolding you have built.
trying to study clothes and folds
>>7363859The drawing surface is like 8 inches across diagonally. I'm getting more used to it now but it's still uncomfortable, the lines don't go where I want them
>>7363735yas indeed. im now working on an alt of her in armour. trying to figure out how I can design it to make it POP
>>7364061These are very nice. Try to do some from life as well so the folds look more dynamic
>>7364114Thanks for the good advice
>>7363995I see. I'll try some more techniques to check if they actually help or hinder me.>>7363996Not quite. Picrel is something I'm trying to draw these days. In this one I did go with the sharp brush and simpler approach. But feels already like later shading will not fit well with it...
>>7363996>>7364123In this one I went with a regular brush and varied blending. But the outlines really bugs me like that.
>>7363927Here's a quick passover I did with some highlights and some slight hue variation. I think you should slightly lower the opacity of the blue layer you'd overlaid. In addition, the multiply layer over the body to add some depth between light and values is a good first step and is a very common tech, but it's meant to add variation in value/hues. You need to define the planes of the tentacles better. Your blues are also very close in hue, add some variation to them by shifting them towards warmer cyan tones around the scene. This was a relatively quick paintover over but it should illustrate most of my points. One final thing, I'd add slightly more blur to the fishes on the right to create a better illusion of depth.
>>7364121No problem. Your drawings are great, seriously. I saved them/ Keep us posted when you do more :)
>spent the last month trying to brute force eye shapes on rotated faces and getting them wrong every time>just realized I can draw the shape relative to the same guideline I've already been drawing the whole time to position the eyes and it's the easiest thing in the worldI feel so stupid right now

Good morning /beg/. What're we drawing today?
>>7364171Cut kot, I plan to keep working on my study when I get home.
how do you combat pen instability with drawing tablets?
>>7364177What is pen instability?
>>7364177Stick it in your ass
>>7364178my pen sometimes sways a little when I draw with it, especially when I'm drawing slowly. the lines aren't steady, if it makes sense - in software.
>>7364181It's you anon, it's not the pen. Practice confident lines.Unless you want a shortcut without getting better - then turn up the stabilizer in your software.
>>7364171
>>7364182what if I'm painting small details, like highlighting a shaded part? I need to be slow and steady, or do most artists do those in swift lines?
>>7364181Nah anon. Tell us right now what kind of tablet you're using. Because anything other than Wacom can cause line wobble.
>>7364186Artisul M610 pro, I'm not using one with a screen, just a regular drawing tablet while I look at my monitor.
>>7364181Use line smoothing/smooth stroke. GIMP has it, but it comes with its own issues
>>7364188Ima keep it buck home. I did a quick search. That's a piece of shit. No wonder you have line wobble. I would definitely recommend line stabilizer or a program like lazy nezumi until you get a better tablet.
>>7364190>>7364189thanks, I'll turn on stabilizer. were I to search for a better drawing tablet should I be aiming for a Wacom?
>>7364191Wacom is generally really good about quality. They also have frequent driver updates to fix issues. I'd hit this thread up and bring up what happened and your price range. I'm sure someone can help you out there.>>7362418In general I'd say it's Wacom>Huion>Gaomon>XP Pen but that's my opinion.
>>7362973I don't think everyone gets to that point, there's a limit for everyone. You might be desensitized to certain sights, like ignoring guro or scat whenever you see it instead of closing the browser and rethinking your life, whereas it takes specific childhood events to jerk off to those things, or women being transformed into jars. I speak mostly from experience, but also from artists who seemed to get more and more deranged but found their limits in women being fucked by horses.
>>7364183you take that back right the FRICK now
>>7363886You're scribbling too much, and probably pressing too hard. One line, one stroke. If you can find one, try picking up a fountain pen, or at least just a ultra-fine sharpie. You can feel how it wants to be drawn with, very quick, straight strokes, almost like a flick. That's what gives manga/comics it's sharp boxy look. Just have to make an effort to recreate those movements in digital.
>>7364198
>>7363428I will argue till the day I die that having fun with the skills you're picking up is as vital as study.
