Final changes from the perspective drawing I posted last thread. Thanks to all that helped. I’m gonna let this one go for now but continue to observe what went wrong and will post more perspective drawings for crit
>>7369143
>Didnt make it to the op againFUCK
>>7369128
>>7369146Keep in mind that if objects are parallel to each other, like wall paintings and the loveseat standing against the wall, they will use the same VP.This picture has pretty extreme perspective by the way, typically 1 point perspective drawings have a VP inside of the frame. Try putting it outside of your canvas for a more realistic picture.Picrel - the kind of perspective where you would see a VP inside the frame.Good luck!
>>7369155Note the chair and ceiling lamp having different VPs, to break up the monotony of 1 point
>>7369128This is fucking hilarious lmao >>7369155Thanks for the help. Lots to think about when doing these drawings
>No one likes the morningsI tried improving her hair. I posted her today's story pretty much when the last thread hit the limit, so I'll post it again. Is her hair better like this or was it better before.
>It made the OP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>7369167I like them both
>>7369128These threads move insanely fast, I commend you for making these edits every time OP.
>>7369182It's my pleasure. Another anon started previous thread so it's a group effort for sure
>>7369179Same. I'm a bit biased to wanting to draw the hair like this though, since I've been drawing the hair like this for some time now. I just like how clutter free it leaves her crown area of head.
>>7369182He deserve zero commendations for continuing to shit up the catalog with early bakes.
>>7369186Thought new threads were started at bump limit?
>>7369186I'll give you that, he definitely jumps the gun. >>7369188With how slow the board is they stay in the catalogue for days anyway. Bump limit doesn't matter.
>>7369192ah I'm new to this mb, I'll just let whoever was doing them before do it
>>7369131
>>7369194No big deal. It's better to let the threads last, it gives anons more time to show their work, get criticism and respond with corrections in a more comfortable time frame.
>>7369128Can I get some help on this as well
>>7369207Same thing, the door, both windows, the ceiling and the steps are on the same plane, so they should follow the same VP. But, since the viewer is almost directly facing the wall, the VP is going to be very far away, or it's all gonna look warped. Probably not the best setup to train perspective.Picrel just to maybe give you some idea
Filtered by a hand holding a thermos' handle. It's over.
>>7369223I can't figure out what's going on here.Also it's really strange, composition-wise, that the guy's face is cut off, does it serve some purpose?
>>7369167
>>7369230It's a lost cause, anon.
>>7369229These are just badly drawn clothing folds near the chest and the reason the guy's face is cut off is because I added him late and needed to keep the height difference accurate (he's tall)
>>7369230>>7369233he already reached his goal he just wants to know how to draw it at different angles
>>7369237"He" meaning you.
I want to draw but how..
>>7369236Then it doesn't serve any purpose and you should expand the canvas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>7369236folds?
>>7369240you? I?
So Pinterest has completely fallen to AI, huh.
>>7369247Just a coincidence, I wanted to draw an outline of the underboob
>>7369251how so? not that I think you're wrong, just not entirely sure what you mean. I've seen a handful of images on my feed that I could tell were AI, and probably some "slipped through the cracks," but I feel like it's good for the most part. maybe I'm wrong though and/or you're talking about something else.
>>7369230I kinda like the outlines i've been drawing in the hair. I'd still like to draw those if possible. But good critique>>7369237Dude. I'm always willing to improve her design if I get good critique. I like trying stuff out at least
>>7369128wow second time I make the opnice.
>I kinda like the outlines i've been drawing in the hair. I'd still like to draw those if possible. But good critiqueLike I said, lost cause.
>>7369262new permabeg just dropped?
>>7369254Photos are fine I think, I'm talking about art, especially anime, it's AI all the way
>>7369265this. Even if you don't get much on your homepage, its also shits up so many search inquires it sucks.
>>7369264List of permabegs?
>>7369262I just want to keep it visually clear to me is all, why are you being like that :/
>>7369265interesting. my homepage is a mix of human portrait and figure references, animals, architecture, or trad drawings. so I wouldn't know, but I don't doubt what you're saying. I wonder what, if anything, they plan on doing about that.
>>7369270the list would be too long>>7369274dont listen to them your doing great. keep doing what you've been doing.

How to become a good storyboarder like this?https://files.catbox.moe/ng1uxr.jpeg
>>7369284horse?
>>7369188Classically, you'ld remake at image limit or when it's in the last few pages of the catalog. In practice /ic/, and /beg/ in particular, is a parade of hapless newfags who don't really know any better so you'll always see it get remade at bump lim.
>>7369281thanks, I can't just instantly change how I've been drawing in one day
>>7369255Ignore those mongrels.Those vultures will never help you.
this was my first day since middle school long ago actually trying to draw, not worth saving my results but think i made ok progress on lines and shapes and am going over beg books like keys to drawing, utter beginner etc. fun with a pencil does not seem like my thingmy 1st goal is anime grils in variety of poses and perspectivesmy 2nd goal is fixing them in a coherent backgroundshading and colors are very distant priorities except to the degree they might help me with orientation in goals 1 and 2tomorrow im going to the library as a place to focus, try still lifes and vanishing points with a laptop and paper pad, but i get the feeling i want to just do figure drawing along with (if not the majority of) the work. ive got preston blair cartoon animation and gesture drawing for animation saved but is there a suitable more anime-tailored thing?
>>7369292what did you do to her face???????
>>7369292Dunning kruger-sama I kneel
>>7369295buccal fat removal
Am i going to make it?
>>7369290of course. these crabs can't even draw. just keep on drawing the way your used to and don't let them get to you.>>7369301no
>>7369301Would kill for your skill level.
>>7369295>>7369292Show the class how it's done then. I'm sure anon would appreciate how you can mog us
>>7369300more like whole jawline removal :D
>>7369308girls dont have jaws
>>7369308
>>7369310those arent french fries...
Are perspective grids actually useful or just drawing boxes in perspective will do the trick?
>>7369292Thanks for the tips for the hair, but I'm going to be completely honest with you. I don't really like what you did to her face there
>>7369292i never realized how brutal a mog the hair could be, my eyes could be getting worse. >>7369318I get what he was going for though, your jaw is really round compared to conventional anime style. usually round jaws are reserved for chibis and kids.
>>7369318Of course, because the original head is basically just a circle. its going to look jank unless you redraw the whole head and not just hair
>>7369320It's also because they didnt lengthen the neck either, changing the jaw makes the character look older so it looks out of place with the /beg/ child like proportions
>>7369323wait is it supposed to be child?
>>7369324nigga its obviously not a child with boobs like that it just looks like a child because of the super chibi bobble head
>>7369325>>7369324>>7369323>>7369320Please don't tear too hard into my characters design
>>7369327How can you be soft and enlisted at the same time? Dont they give you balls at the army?
Real proud of this one.
>>7369325oppai loli ackshully
>>7369329The standards...they really aren't what they used to be
>>7369302fuckits over>>7369303i feel like i cant even draw most of the time
>>7369331Nice, I can tell. The eyes are on the same plane for the most part and look fine but im not so sure the chin. Are you gonna finish the hair?
>>7369338You're right, the chin is off. Somehow I didn't see that.I'm gonna give it a try. I'm still learning value, so I'm concerned I'm gonna break it.
>>7369340Yeah, she mogs my jaw the way you drew it lol. Fix it up and then interrogate it with value. Good luck!
>>7369294ill leave one pls respond and let it beif you think im just being retarded would appreciate being eviscerated in detaili found the loomis figure books, tomorrow will be putting together some sort of routine w/ shapes and humans from reference, still life objects and rooms, and figure construction
>>7369350pyw
>>7369353i didnt save any, it would be worst ITT and the last thread too
Is shark anon okay? Haven't seen him today
>>7369355aww. also who cares if its the worst, how is that relevant?? your here to get crit and improve right?? have some confidence man.
>>7369357the point is rather that ive never saved any, but i guess i can do something in a few minutes
>>7369270Me.
>>7369359no no no i dont want your few minute scribblies. Spend a good amount of time on something and if you get stumped while doing it then post or if your satisfied after a certain point.
Give me ethot to use as reference for anime bitch drawing.
>>7369363it can wait till tomorrow then, ill make a point to not just erase the canvas for at least one thing
>>7369363you're*
>>7369368IM ESL NYOO
>>7369364
>>7369303How shit are your drawings that you would kill for this? I think people say things like this without understanding. Because people are willing to kill/sacrifice/ give "anything" for something than do the actual work. You would probably be there already by simply doing a Steven Huston course or watching Michael Hampton's anatomy course which is everywhere for free.
>>7369331I'm not sure if I ruined it. I'm happy with different parts of it, but it was really hard trying to imply her features.
>>7369371That would mean he has to put some work in.
NTA but do you have any recommendations for digital painting courses?
>>7369383Med's Map is pretty fun
>>7369244how do I pet the dog brosi just don't get it
>>7369290>>7369167Anon your drawings are very cute and you really seem to always try your hardest to draw your girls. Never bend your knee to the people here who are trying to put you down. You seem to have a certain way you like to draw your pictures, There is nothing wrong with that as you are very consistent with it. Your drawings are already good enough that you could be making your manga. It's up to you if you think you should be this adamant to try and improve. Always take what people say here with grain of salt
Why are digital charcoal brushes so hard to work with? I feel like I have to contort my hand into some Cthulu monster in order to make thin lines in any non-cardinal direction.Am I just doing something wrong? Should I be using the overhand grip?
>>7369400yes
>>7369401>>7369404Are there any good videos or tips for that? I'm having a hard time trying to do it with a screen display stylus.
>>7369409lol. lmao.
What should I add?
>>7369420
>>7369421the sun or 2
>>7369420Two mechs in either of the side thirds of the page, framing the center action.
>>7369400If they're good digital charcoal brushes, it'll adjust size based on your hand angle like an actual pencil.But you should basically never use an overhand grip for digital, the pen just isn't made for it, tripod 4 lyfe.
>>7369423Like this
>>7369436Exactly like that. Damn you've got a fun style.
>>7369135About 10 mins.

>>7369436
>>7369373Shading is what I needed to make grinding portraits fun again. To the anon that recommended that I start studying value a few threads back, thanks loads.
>>7369443planning for this outfit for now. I'm inclined to believe pants would be better but I just love skirt+thigh highs combo so much.
>>7369451Anon please read thishttps://gofile.io/d/KTwnWF
>>7369465Before or after keys?
Just a small practice from a video series on linework. I feel like I rushed it a bit.
>>7369466nta but I'd say after. KTD is much more general in its instruction than DTHAH, so it's a much more logical and smoother transition than starting with DTHAH and moving to KTD.
>>7369465DRAW this*
>>7369466KtD has a small section on how to draw the head, that book is more indepth. If you're interested in drawing the head it wouldn't hurt to skim through it (at least the parts on how to measure a head).
>>7369471Got it.>>7369474I'll skim it a bit and see what I can apply.Thanks both of you!
>>7369131Kinda cool AI reference, really fun to draw. Those eyes remind me of Tatsuya Nakadi. >>7369135I'll get to you tomorrow. I had to catch up on the refs from yesterday. >>7369370You too>>7369442Nice job, anon. The biggest tip I would give is to look at how you've straightened out her spine. Don't be afraid to really exaggerate a pose.
/beg/ how would you handle this apple? https://files.catbox.moe/5j6otz.jpgi did colors, then attempted to find values after i remembered mario bucci saying you need to find shapes/values first and go from there. but obviously i don't know what the fuck i'm doing. maybe the og image is just too tough?
>>7369420I drew ahit like this as a kid all the time
>>7369128I know this is like a super basic ass question but can anyone give me advice on learning to blend smoothly/shade in digital? Using Krita if it super matters as i've read some things in trying to learn this that say how krita does strokes vs other softwares is different, but not really sure to what extent it matters. I for the life of me can't understand how to smooth out this kind of banding. I've tried ctrl color picking excessively, using the absolute lightest of pressure to build up layers, circle strokes, spent an impractical excessive amount of time overworking it, and a whole host of different combinations but i just can't figure it out. There's always a border between two values even if it's kinda obfuscated, like with the circle strokes. I know i could just use a blending tool to forceful gauss the shit out of it but, and maybe im wrong, i don't think it's an issue of a bad tool for the wrong job. I've seen a ton of artists who can blend smoothly with a hard round brush and i want to do my best to not rely on gimmick crutch tools unless super necessary.
>>7369294too much talking, not enough dawing. you learn to draw by drawing. you learn to draw anime girls by drawing anime girls. if you wanna draw anime girls just draw anime girls. copying some old ass book you don't care about will make you give up before you even draw an anime girl.

>>7369505The clothes section is top-notch, thanks for the link
I cant imply 3d volume or volume and weight
>>7369551
>>7369551did you try drawing lines to indicate it
>>7369554How so?
>>7369555
Is this guy a bot
>>7369555The same way you draw other lines.
>>7369513>Using a purposely bad example to advertise the bookwait is that in the book? Did the author fuck the cover designer's wife?That's so mean
>>7369294
>>7369579It's not on zlibrary on anna's archive
>>7369583>>7367307
>>7369587>>7369585oh shidd, thanks
how do you cope with the unabashed feeling of absolute inferiority when you try to copy some better artist and you see how well placed, smooth and succulent his lines are, and then try to eyeball copy it and yours is pure fucking trash. I've went through this shit so many times at this point and it's absolutely crushing.
Lets see how this turns out
>>7369628Pic fell off
>>7369618Realize that it took you one stroke to draw what you drew, but it took him a thousand to draw his.
>>7369618He didnt have the pressure of having It to look like another drawing. It will stop once you interpret instead of copying
>>7369498You cannot blend smoothly with a hard round brush. It is hard, it is round, it does not make gradients.Use a dithered brush like a paintbrush texture to hide the strokes, or use the airbrush.
>>7369618You need to understand that he studied a lot to be able to place the lines well and drew a lot of bad lines And that even those lines are approximations he produced with his body of understanding, it's not specifically where he wanted it to be because we never know,We just learn all the other stuff and then we'll make lines that are more functional
>>7369637I more or less figured it out. well actually i asked an ai how to do it and it spit out a technique that was what i was looking for(maybe the droids aren't so bad after all). This isn't perfect but i can actually tell that it's a skill issue and with more effort/time i could do it better. Plus i feel like i have way more control over edges/gradients that i've never really felt confident with before. All hard round btw.
how do i draw ponytails
what do i need to study in order to draw perfection like this
>>7369650you just posted it moron
posted a last thread about making digital art look watercolor, and want opinions on if less noise looks better
or more noise? also shit why does it always rotate>>7369650im gonna be a shill and say that brent evistons skillshare courses are amazing, and if your poor you can pirate them
>>7369505>>7369579tyvm
did i match her?
>>7369671
>>7369672whomstve? Also I'd try to use a higher res picture of her. Nice attempt tho
>>7369571That's like 90%+ of manga books
>>7369650What the fuck is that.
>>7369682but why?
>>7369684
>>7369618I'm not entitled to exist as a pro from the get-go.
>>7369618That must be a sad existence. Normal people don't have to "cope" with that, they get inspired by good artists.
>>7369690the chris chan of manga
>>7367307oof
>>7369689disinterested corpo drones disconnected from author and editor
>>7369465No artist is going to learn anything about drawing by reading. An artist is only going to learn by drawing and there is way, way, WAY too much talk in that book.
>>7369656I think I'm preferring more noise
>>7369705This is such a bad take lmao
>>7369675any advice?there is alot of anime girl versions of gamer girls
>>7369712Whats the good one then? looool
>>7369712I think he's trying to say you don't get good by just reading material. You need to apply what you've learned.
>>7369718Well he should have said it, instead of trying to
Koishi request
>>7369718Yeah. Anything I read from that book did not help in any way, so, what's the point of doing a lot of talk? Its such a convoluted way to teach drawing. All the talk bogs people down, when people are looking to get better at drawing, they need to draw instead of reading a bunch of convoluted text.
I fucked up the eyes right at the end. Any advice anons? The breasts are worse defined because they were not shadowed enough in the reference to work on them, maybe i could try with any trick
>>7369718I honestly don't really understand how to study drawing booksI have perspective made easy and I'm not gonna lie I don't get what I'm supposed to do, I read the concepts, I understand them but there's both very little text with some examples and I'm not really sure it'll make me better at perspectiveI feel like most books I read about drawing are like this and I feel like a complete retard
>>7369787Do you read books for fun? It's gonna be much harder to process if you don't. Most adults find it difficult to learn from books because they just don't read.
>>7369787Read this post of mine>>7369721
>>7369791yeah reading is for faggots
I made the sea today. I hope my understanding of the horizon line has improved. I'll practice the human body in the future.
Practicing drawing figures from imagination.
>>7369618i felt like this at first then i dug deep into the gallery of an artist i like and i found about ~200 studies she uploaded. i realized good artists draw a lot and those studies were just what she shared with the public, so there were more, i felt humbled and went to study fundies. this will take a lot of work and pain but humility and love is all you need
>>7369802May you please share them?
>>7369714
>>7369810https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC_pbzXn3YM
>>7369796 It looks vintage.
>>7369785Just to confirm that black line would fuck the while thing
>>7369785This is close to a banger, I can see people buying this if it were acrylic or oil.>>7369825and its dead, but you learned a valuable lesson anon, great job anon
>>7369825Now whiteline over the blackline
>>7369152>>7369146>just re-read first chapters of perspective made easy>see those copiesze matrix plays tricks on me... you're ze gangstalker i know it
>>7369829Do what over the what? You mean using a white marker on the black outline? It's a cheap, DA way of making stuff pop but I'm not sure it's a good choice hereNTA
>>7369836>You mean using a white marker on the black outline?Yeah>It's a cheap, DA way of making stuff pop but I'm not sure it's a good choice hereBlackline ruined it, so the anon may as well experiment exactly with that, for his own experience and our observation
>>7369838Looks very nice to me, to each his own.This>so the anon may as well experiment exactly with that, for his own experience and our observationis very true though
>>7369513I mean, the author probably didn't fix it in the book, so the book designer just used the wrong example image.

I saw a dwarf in my dream. She was smug.

>>7369881ref
>>7369854Cool interpretation of yours
>>7369445
>>7369881Use a bigger brush size, it's kind of messy. Select the area you want to paint with lasso first so you don't go over the lines.Also, push the darker values more, compare with ref how much darker the shadows and dark halftones are.
>>7369889i have also never really used a program like this (clip studio paint) before yesterday, i went until it felt like my grasp of the tools was clearly too lacking to do more than fumble around and get frustratedasked chatgpt where the lasso tool wasand didnt know i could wall off an area just like that, in mspaint you would deselect your selection area going to a brush
>>7369128Someone please help me with this. It’s like my 5th attempt and it’s genuinely driving me mad.I’m using a guide on drawing vp off the page/picture plane but it never covered those above the HL, but if the picture and couch go to the same vp why does it look so extreme in my drawing?
>>7369907
A failed attempt at making a furry headshot perspective...I, feel physically sick...and, I don't know how to improve...my hand feels cold and I'm dizzy...
>>7369901Yeah it's very useful. If you've got a cube you'd like to paint, just press M, select Polyline and you're golden. Also you can add or substract from the selection by holding shift or alt respectively
>>7369909Spare us the excuses and try again
>>7369912I'm not making excuses, I'm just telling the fucking facts. Doesn't help that yesterday, I managed to make this. I'm trying to do the 100 day drawing challenge.
Holy shit a new namefag schizo
>>7369910i was stubbornly scribbling with just the pen tablet, i guess i should think more about how the program and mouse can contributeis there a series on CSP or similar programs you would recommend? id rather revisit the picture after brushing up
>>7369917I'm far from knowing everything about CSP, I just played around a lot. You definitely need to learn about layers and masks, they open a whole new world.Free transform and liquify are very valuable as well. Good luck anon
>>7369916I'm just keeping it consistent moving forwards, so people know when it's me. But, if that's how you want to refer to me as, you have every right to. And I won't fight against it.
>>7369914Drawing that every day for 100 days isn't going to help you. Try copying artists whose art style you wish to emulate.
>>7369925The thing is, I don't think that there is anyone with an artstyle that I, see. It's, like rough but...honest. Like the kind of thing seen in the 2000's
>>7369926But, that piece you responded to, that IS the artstyle I want to...hone. and, develop. Not straight lines and clean, just...thisnsort of thing given more and more perspective.
>>7369927What are your diagnoses? Autism maybe?
>>7369923Pexil sounds cool. Though, I don't think it's a good idea to draw attention to yourself in a place like this. It's like wearing a shirt that says "Kick me" in a room full of bullies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8DJGw3rIwI

>>7369907You are doing well, its hard, you just need a proper order to work:1. define the horizon line HL2. create a picture frame PF (its easier to work this way)3. define the VPS, if the VPS are far away from the PF, use a measuring line ML, the nice thing about perspective is that lines closer to the HL will flatten out parallel to the HL, the farther the VPS are from the PF the faster they will tend to parallel.The HL is based on a triangle, so Thales' theorem applies: if a line doesn't follow the fan effect of the other lines, we know that it's not going to the VP.The picture is the best I could do as the image is distorted.keep posting
>>7369941No. It's, meant to be a soundbyte. Admittedly it's not, great. In terms of self critique, and actually looking at some vrchat model references, I need to reduce the height of the head shape and make the ears MUCH more pronounced to give a sense of size.attached is an image that is the reference to which I've been trying to based off of
That's it for the week 2 of her daily-ish stories. What do you guys think of them so far. I didn't think at first I'd be doing them for more than even a week, but I'm having a lot of fun drawing them
>>7369939I'm going to give it to you straight. You've barely started and are already a huge headache to deal with. If you want to actually draw you're gonna have to give us some leeway. Drop the excuses and actually listen to critique. You do not have an art style, those are schizo scribbles. And to everyone else if it feels like you need to babysit someone to draw a simple circle then don't even bother.
>>7369947Thanks a ton , anon. It is very hard, so I’ll have to be patient with myself as I go through the book. >is that lines closer to the HL will flatten out parellel to the HLIt all makes soooo much more sense now. Will update when I’m done with my attempt.
>>7369959Glad you're having fun. Try drawing her from different angles now, not just front facing the camera.
>>7369960>And to everyone else if it feels like you need to babysit someone to draw a simple circle then don't even bother.Yeah anons started doing this shit lately. This board has convinced me that talent is real
>>7369960>And to everyone else if it feels like you need to babysit someone to draw a simple circle then don't even bother.don't kinkshame me, bucko
>>7369969Gaslighter
>>7369964maybe I'll try some different angles with next week's stories. i did try to do overhead perspective this week
>>7369881i mocked up this routine:warmup: lines, 2d shape, imagine 3d shapes and lighting1. photo ref blocks2. still life3. vanishing point work4. animu figure workbook5. whateverthis is #2, still life of my folded jacket. black on black wool. i picked it because it said in drawing for utter beginners you'll be more invested in an object you're attached to. i think it was clearly too much for me but i tried to at least resolve the biggest details, i can provide a photo too if necessary. i had middle school art 20 years ago and decided to pick up a pen tablet and start drawing yesterday.
how do i get better at symmetry? i can't even draw a pair of eyes with the same size. are there any exercises for it or something, or do i just draw whatever and eventually get better?
>>7369971You should probably google what that means
>>7369974Maybe practice by drawing the skull, putting eyes inside of the skull, and trying to create symmetry from there? Idk. Just try to think outside of the box and take a different approach to drawing the same thing if one method doesn’t work for you.
>>7369974Use guidelines until you can eyeball it without assistance
>>7369979>>7369982the eyes were just an example, i can't really draw anything at all
>>7369984Just learn the measurements and keep practicing until you get the hang of it. It's all trial and error my friend.
>>7369881Joined you for this one.
>>7369886Nice.
>>7369244This is cute keep going

how do i grind clothes? should i ref from irl photos or other illutrations?
>>7370000>should i ref from irl photos or other illutrations?That's AI by the way

Except your stickmen actually have forms and there are even colors and special effects. I kneel>>7369825booba
>>7370011Did you says booba?
>>7369959I don't know if it's on purpose, but the new girl (black hair) looks pretty much like your usual girl, just with a different hair color. I think it makes things less interesting and appears lazier than a more varied design yet equally cute girl. Why not make it so the new girl doesn't have bangs covering one eye? The usual girl's breast size is also inconsistent. I think her arms are too short as well.
>>7370011Thank you, I'm trying my best to make her stories. I haven't really experimented with multipanel stories yet, but i'd like to try making those, but i think those would take a lot more time to make, if I wanted to still keep the stories daily. Also I don't want to rush my drawings
>>7370011Scary looking!

clothing study or something
>>7370024actually fixed up the pants rq
>>7370020
>>7370017The new girls design is kind of intentionally reflectional to the main girl, because I have this idea the new girl is main girls commanding officer and they will have a bit of rival/foil thing going on. Also i always try to draw my main girl the way I think she would look best with different type of clothes she wears

>>7370050i was looking ideally for material on CSP, but digital art generally, to quickly learn brushes other than pencil and blendid actually prefer a book, videos are tedious and gay
>>7370058>id actually prefer a bookBased and all but you're not gonna learn CSP from a book
>>7370061i searched on annas archive and found a couple hits ill give them a try
>>7370042I can't really vision the new girl being a rival if she doesn't have her hair covering eye as well, but i admit you are may be right, I don't really do other types of hairstyles
>>7370065lol. lmao. this guy.
>>7370067Is it wrong to just like to draw the things I want?
>>7370068Just try new things brody
>>7370068You're treating this thread like your personal blog instead of a place to improve.
>>7369995rare concord kino
protip: using any /ic/ thread as your personal blog is ok as long as you've posted the fresh thing you've drawn
>>7370073I don't think one image per day is too much? I always try to improve if I get critique
>>7370068Draw a gyaru next
>>7370082It will be the same character with a color palette swap of light hair and dark skin
>>7370081>I always try to improve if I get critiqueNo, you don't
>>7370081lmao this guy.
I like this new permabeg
>>7370076That's Deadlock
Reminder to not make a new thread until it hits image limit or it hits page 10. This thread will still be around for a few days even after it hits bump limit.
>>7370086>>7370085>>7370086I've literally been doing this for less than a month how fast do you think I can improve.
>>7370092There's a difference to little by little and refusing to listen and stagnating
>>7370092Don't listen to those retards. they think just because you are given critique you suddenly become able to draw perfectly.
>>7370092Drawing the same character with the same hair from the same angle is not trying to improve. Nobody would be saying this shit if you were trying, as things stand you're just shitting up the board. It's fine if you wanna keep drawing the same little pseudo-comics, but why here?
>>7370092Just keep going man, growing a thick skin is part of posting here.
>>7370099His skin is lacking form hence the thinness
>>7370088my brain kinda stopped being able to memorize overwatch-likes after valorant but somehow i still know that gargoyle has cutest fanart out of the other cast
>>7370092you're good keep drawing
>>7370099why all the crabs are still permabutthurt then?
>>7370097>Drawing the same boxes in the same void from the same angle is not trying to improve.Nobody would be saying this shit if you were trying, as things stand you're just shitting up the board. It's fine if you wanna keep drawing the same little boxes, but why here?Dude stfu. This is what you sound like
>>7370106You're projecting. And nobody's posting boxes drawn from the same angle lol.
>>7370106Please don't post the same boxes and saying your improving
>>7370106absolutely braindead take
>>7370115I agree with you
>>7370104Because he's getting critiques and not them. Most of them are quick to criticize but lack any real skill or confidence to back up their claims visually. They don't really understand that progress has to be made through a dialogue of back and forth discussion and checking, not a "one and done" delivery. The moment any actual lengthy and meaningful discussion is had they treat it as "shitting up the thread" and attempt to discourage both the helper and the learner while providing absolutely no actionable or valuable insight.They don't want to draw and talk to learn, they want to dunk and harass other growing artists.
>>7369942I'll make sure to remember this for tomorrow's session. Appreciate the advice anon
>>7369420>>7369421Pure soul. It reminds of those old browser games, specifically Plasma Burst in this case.
>>7370107Repetition is key to mastery isn't it not. If anon wants to draw things he likes and thinks it's helping him. Is it any different than any other form of repetition?
Alright, you guys take care of your pet schizo, can't wait for him to become GOAT.
>>7370097If there's any place to post beginner drawings it'd be here. It sounds like you may want to take a break from this place anon, it's not that serious. Take a breather.
>>7369960I wasn't making an excuse? Another anon asked if I had any diagnoses. And I answered his question accordingly. Didn't get a diagnosis until late high school, based on available memory. >>7369929Here's the anon that specifically asked the question.
>>7370106I think many anons missed that this post was meant to be hyperbole of the first anons braindead take.
Hi guys this is my new comic and I'm really proud of it, please let me know how to improve I will take all critique to heart and do my bestest to learn! Yeah!
>>7370099Advice I'm going to take in as well.
>>7370129now you're just being mean. why are you like this?
>>7370126The first post you made was crying about your hand hurting and it feeling cold all of a sudden and you suddenly seeing the light on the other side. Those are the excuses we have zero tolerance over.
>>7370129Okay, for one, I'd suggest trying to run some rough sketches with a pencil in a journal. Someone told me to do this with a bit of doodling, to "learn the weight of a pencil". I've been trying it to get a better feel for actually getting shapes understood, since drawing thin lines just, feels and looks pretty bad in my >very admittedly shorttime drawing. Practice makes progress, and don't be afraid to try and get advice from...admittedly harsh criticism. Try to break it down into what could be considered actionable goals and milestones to achieve.
Reading through How to draw the head and hands. Way too much in there for me to implement for a while, but I used his method to construct this head from the front.So the hairline is supposed to be one third up from the nose, the mouth is supposed to be one third down from the nose... And then another third down is the chin? I think I got it right here, but the nose-to-chin is much longer than I normally draw.
>>7370137He's being sarcastic you literal autist>>7370134And you need to stop being so sensitiveJesus christ this place...
>>7370137too much text in this thread sad will do a new one when we reach 130 images
>>7370137So I'm coming at you with my freshest comic yet! I listened to your critique and made some major improvements. Let me know if this hair is better than the previous!Oh and if anyone wants to mog the everloving fuck out of me I'm gonna say I prefer my version and ignore the improvements.Alright cya
>>7370135Okay, I will attest that I made that in a pretty stupid way. Regarding the cold, that wasn't some BS reasoning, I'm pretty sure that what happened there was some sort of reaction to taking my medication for the first time in a couple of weeks, as well as the fact that the fireplace isn't the best. I'd also like to clarify, I never said anything about my hand hurting. I just said that it was cold. And I mean that in a physical way. Not pain, but like it was hit with being exposed to the open air. I can understand how these can be seen as excuses, and I am working to improve some of the conditions I'm working under. I apologize for my first post being very much, bitchy and depressive.
>>7370144To be honest this was pretty fun. Still wouldn't post it 10 times though
>>7370144soul
>>7369474NTA but thanks for this; the link wasn't working for me and I've wanted to try drawing more realistic people.
I'm going to leave it at this. these were 1 week apart. can you say I'm not trying to improve.
>>7370141I mean you're not wrong, I have a diagnosis for it, so trying to use it as an insult, not exactly effective. >>7370144Okay, I know that you are just being a shitposter in here, but, the hair there, assuming this is actually trying to make, something, even as a joke, the hair isn't bad. I think it could maybe use a bit of shading, but, It's not bad.
>>7369828>>7369839Thanks anons.
>>7370154Honestly, props to you for taking it in stride and actually showing your improvement! I'm still trying to get a grasp on the fundamentals myself, and try to find my own way of making them, work. You've clearly got some progress under your belt, and I wish you well in your pathway anon.
>>7370144based
>>7370164In what way?
>>7370160Thank you. This is more about all the people who've tried to help me than me personally. I try to listen to their advice, but I'm just not that good yet that I can apply their advice that well.
>>7369959desu new girl could use a different eye shape. keeping the hairstyle is probably fine but i made some quick possible suggestions- top look i feel is a bit "meaner" and bottom is a bit "dumber". im guessing you used watamote as inspiration but she's the only one who really looks like that, consider looking at hidamari sketch or madoka for more blockhead anime inspo. you can see that they make the girls look varied with eye shape/size despite having nearly identical head shape/face proportions otherwise
>>7370154umm. crab nodraws our response?
>>7369128I will learn how to draw backgrounds.
>>7370176learning perspective will allow you to draw any background, ever
>>7370176I think it looks very nice so far anon
>>7370168The meaner look is kind of what I was trying to achieve. I like that one
>>7370011Cool stuff Pawell. Are you into occultism or something like that?
>>7369959I know many people here don't see it or just don't want to admit it, but I see how you've really tried to improve drawing clothes and shadows this week compared to your previous week. Do not give up and listen to these nodraws. you can go small steps at a time. You have to learn to walk in order to run. Don't ever let people here take away your fun
>>7370176Beautiful
>>7370140Well, in either case I think its looking better.
>>7370218>dear god that jaw.Didn't catch that on the page.
>>7370154just improov hair and faces and this point no you won't lose your style
Probably should have waited to post this on the next thread but screw it. I did this study, started off very iffy but I think I pulled it off okay enough in the end (I still can't draw eyes well for the life of me). One of the main issues I was facing was "Do I truly understand what I am drawing?", especially when it came to the muzzle which I struggled to really make feel 3D, so I decided to trace the basic shapes of her over on the right. Does it seem like I understand what I am looking at well enough or not? I can't really tell most of the time.
>>7370226I think you understand it, but the ref is pretty shit imo. Try doing this kind of drawing with real animals and I'm sure you'll do fine
>>7370230>but the ref is pretty shit imoYou are probably referring to how her face is a tad deformed/squishy like for expression sake. I do agree it probably wasn't the best one to go for. And yes that has crossed my mind, I should do a study of a real animal at some point.
>>7370235>You are probably referring to how her face is a tad deformed/squishy like for expression sakeYeah that's what I mean, her muzzle isnt very clear in the ref so it's hard to make it clear for you
>>7370226This thread's going to be around for the next three days. No need to worry about the next thread just yet.
>>7370237Yeah, maybe I did it because I felt it would be a "challenge" (which is a mindset I keep having lately), but yeah I will have to go for a more conventional expression next. One issue I am having btw is I really suck at the base construction of a character still. I think I struggle to tell if I am being accurate or not if I draw a very blank sketch of my subject which is why I just kinda try to emulate what I see sometimes awkwardly and messily.
>>7369128Understanding perspective a lot better now. On to the next. I will be done with this book before the end of the year.
>>7370242>One issue I am having btw is I really suck at the base construction of a character still.Could have fooled me, that fox is ready to get painted imo
>>7370245You really think so?Guess I'll get the hang of that eventually, I am gonna study her once more (full body) and then do a proper pic of her, like a sexy vanilla pic, before I move onto another stupid character my autistic mind obsesses over.
>>7370243really good anon, remember that the minor axis of the ellipse follows the VP try drawing another lamp in there but be conscious of the minor axis.
cute?
>>7370269yes, but she shouldn't be so wide about it
>>7370127I think they understood it and didn't agree with it

>>7369644what did chat gpt tell you?
>>7370419ain't too bad. It's good that you try to do new stuff at least, in spite of people calling you out in this thread before, but try not to take people's critique here too personally

>>7370419ear seems too low if your eye placement is that high
>>7370438500anon is right though, the answer to a lot of /beg/ problems is cranking out reps instead of making a cartoon head a multi-day affair.
>>7370457And the other answer is use more reference.
>>7370457I just have gotten this habit some anon told me once. To start my image in the evening and finish it in the morning with fresh eyes so you spot blatant mistakes. My images take about 2 hours to make.

Alright, I'm back. Decided to try and redo the sketch from scratch, this time actually going somewhat side by side with the reference image. It's not, all the way there, but...its a lot better than what I posted in my first here. Seems the gfuel is giving me some better focus. I would like a fair amount of help with trying to get the snout down, along with actually getting the mouth shape line, that is on the reference model. That's probably what's giving me the most difficulty now.
>>7370527What is this
>>7370530Crop and resize your images
>>7370531It's seemingly an attempt at shitposting.
>>7370534More like attempt to call out shitposting
>>7370532Apologies for that. I'm still trying to fix that moving forwards.
>>7370536Probably. I don't really use this site much, due to me trying to reduce how much I'm on social media overall. That, and talking to other furries to try and get help with my drawing progress and goals. Tbh, I do understand why shit posting happens here, but, I do want to try and give feedback where I can, based on the things that I am learning.
>>7370527This is very sad. This was clearly made by a resident poster here that became bitter and resentful. Probably a permabeg that couldn't hack it.
>>7370540...yeah, that honestly sounds like someone who is quite bitter...I'm probably going to end up as a permabeg myself in all honesty, but, it's something that I am able to accept if that comes to be reality. I just want to have some level of a creative outlet while I struggle to land employment, and trybto rebuild the fire for making ambient music. To the anon who wrote that page...I know that it's really fucking hard. Trust me, I would know as a music college graduate. But, if there is anything that I believe would be useful advice, don't try to draw to impress people. Try to draw because, you want to make something
>>7370507You draw really nice hands anon
>>7370530I don't think you're the art type of autist, namefag. Are you sure you don't like trains or buses? Maybe 40k? Programming?Don't take this the wrong way but I literally don't know what the fuck I'm looking at. I can recognize a pair of ears and maybe an eye but that's it

>>7370559This faggot broke into my room, I know it, this is too close to reality
I want to make a little survey for research purposes.Reply to this post if you haven't drawn in a while but still post/ lurk in this thread. And if you feel like it post how long it's been since you drew.
>>7370562Shouldn't have pirated that hentai game.

>>7370566why would he drop this random blackpill??
>>7370569Because everyone struggles with motivation sometimesIt's not really a blackpill since he can draw so it's nice to know even he feels the same way sometimes
>>7370570>>7370559so how did this guy 'draw'? just traces 3d models in blender?
>>7370567Why is that?
>>7370571The backgrounds are 3D models but the characters don't look 3D at all
>>7370573>>7370571Also looks like he works as a character designer so probably don't have to draw backgrounds so maybe that's why he just cheats and uses models for that
I'm gonna try and draw for 8 hours tomorrow gents. I've been pussy footing for too long.
>>7370572Lot of usless information. You don't need most of that.

>>7369995Blog?
>>7370551I accept the mogging. How many time have you been drawing for? I would like to reach your level.
are there construction methods similar to loomis but better for anime heads? if so then what kind and where can I learn them?

>>7370563I have been learning 3d shit for a few days instead of drawing like I should. Might be a long time before I post so people don't get fatigue from looking at my shitty art.
>>7370588what symbol drawing does to a mf
>>7370578>>7370580Thanks fellas. Any suggestions on what I should draw? I'd like to draw a multitude of things so I don't get burned out just drawing one thing. For the most part I think I'm going to do anatomy practice.
>>7370587>>7370588
>>7370597kek yeah that's why I posted that
>>7370597>>7370600Nah, I don't see it.
>>7370588One could say he mastered his own art style...
>>7370602I just meant it reminded me of that gif
>>7370588It's important to have a recognizable brand.
>>7370593You're not gonna take 8 hours of practice, you gotta have some fun or you'll just give up
>>7369135>>7369490Finished up my debt to the last thread.>>7370176My favorite in the thread. Getting to this is near my current goal. So stylish and cool. Background looks nice too.
>>7370593>for the most part I think I'm gonna do anatomy practicedo a mix of reference drawing, master studies, and memory studies. aside from that just draw what seems fun.
>>7370605There's anon that sees the glass half full
>>7370588Out of all the artists he could have copied he decided to go with FKMT, amazing.
>>7370588Master study on this anon when?
>>7370611The man recognizes greatness
Yikes, didn't think my art was that bad, thread. Could throw some crit in among the ridicule.
>>7370611You better not be talking this>>7370616I didnt post the gif as a critique, it just looked the same from the thumnail
>>7370616You're symbol drawing the eyes
>>7370553And here's an older figure drawing.>>7370567>>7370607Very lovely faces.
>>7370618>>7370618>>7370618draw, post work, help others.
>>7370567This is looking great anon. Nice line work with the brush.
>>7370617>It just looked same from the thumbnailBro. Have some mercy on the poor bastard, you have no idea how much damage you might have caused to him with that post
>>7370621i refuse
>>7370621I don't want to go to the other thread, Soda posted in it.
For real tho, this thread was still being actively used and was nowhere near falling off of page 10. The one thread a day stuff is ridiculous.
>>7370531I'm trying to draw a fictional species known as a Soundbyte. Basically a combination of a dragon and bat. There's, not a whole lot in the way of 2D art really, and I'm still incredibly new to drawing overall. Got a long ways to go. Tomorrow I'm planning to work on using some shapes to try and better improve face appearance, as well as trying to better match the reference to the 3D models.
>>7370648There is 5 beg threads in cataloque right now.
>>7370653noivern pokemon
>>7370656vs how many cris threads?
>>7370552It's a soundbyte. A combination of a dragon and a bat. I was trying to replicate a 3D model, but, not to much success. Still, I'm proud of what I did manage to get done tonight, what with me being still new to the process and, not knowing anything about actually drawing, prior to four days ago. Long road ahead, but I'm going to keep trying. And, outside of electronic music (which I haven't attempted to work on in months due to job hunting), I'm just doing art practice as a way to destress from the constant silence in employers.
>>7370658Even one is too many
>>7370658What does that have to do with the fact there's four more beg threads than necessary
>>7370552And, just to inform, I completely understand. I can even recognize it doesn't look AMYTHING like what the species actually does, outside of the ears and eyes. This was my second time ever trying to do a headshot, and I, still suck at it. But, it's INFINITELY better than my first attempt, which was even worse. Slow progress...but, still progress nonetheless.
>>7370661we need at least 1 thread per beg
>>7370664Seems like that's the goal
>>7370648beg and fig are the only threads worth anything here (in terms of work posted), honestly i think an eternal weekly beg thread would make more sense...
>>7370588why is this gif 4 fucking mbs?
>>7370671Yeah, that definitely makes sense.
>>7370671If beg threads would just get stickied or have bigger post limit. Then there wouldn't be any need to keep making new ones constantly
>>7370674The issue isn't post limit. The threads would last for a few days if OP didn't make a new one each time they hit bump limit.
>>7370677I guess you're right. There always is someone who is impatient and just can't seem to help themself
>>7370584A lot, also i was serious. You draw nice hands. Way better than your heads. Keep drawing and you will improve.
>>7370677this doesn't makes sense for a general.
this is the thread
A "master study" I did of this artist --> https://x.com/okinawanogori plus some random sketches. He has a beautiful art style.
>>7370691huh?
>>7370692Looks like he got scared by the new TOS controversy that was going around. My bad.
>>7370619Is there any other way to draw eyes from imagination?I'm reading keys to drawing, but so far he's only talked about drawing from reference.
>>7370695This is the kind of stuff he draws. I hope he doesn't delete his account, he has no links to any other socials.
>>7370698>Is there any other way to draw eyes from imagination?nta, but I'm not sure the framing of the question is quite right. it's not so much the "way" you draw but with what knowledge (and of course this is all relative to your particular goals for the drawing). if you want to draw a more realistic eye from memory with this or that angle, you need to study eyes at those angles. there are different sorts of memory exercises you can do, but two broad ones are of either sort:>look at a reference for x amount of time, put it away, and draw the reference from memory>draw from reference, then put it away and try to draw it from memoryit would also be helpful to have general understanding of eyes and how its anatomical parts change depending on the perspective of the head. I don't know any in particular off the top of my head, but I'm sure they're out there.
>>7370699Thanks for the heads up anon, since i also follow him might as well download all his stuff before he DFE like most asians do.
>>7370527First post template is funny thoguh
>>7370583dont have one sorry
>>7370865Ok, just you know you could make it big in twitter if you focused your work on a project with some topical stuff sprinkled in, the technical skill is there.Hope you keep posting friendo
>>7370946you think so? can you elaborate with the topical stuff?
>>7370990Yeah man you just gotta find your niche, you have some semblance of an art style, the only thing you need to do is to refine it, work on character design and backgrounds, doing full pieces will help you with this, your Ivy piece would be improved with a full background.It might be shunned in some of these threads but doing art trends, fanart for series/anime/comic that are currently airing/in publishing or doing stuff that is popular. The term used by some anons it's trendhopping, the issue comes when some is that your OCs or original works tend to garner less views than your other stuff. Every so often anons make threads about growing your Social media presence so look into it but be take advice with a grain of salt.What do you want your drawings to be for? Gamedev? Comics? Pinups? Or just find pleasure in drawing? Please keep posting
>>7370998I just draw for fun mostly, my goal would be to just be good at drawing characters doing stuff. Problem is I don't spend as much time practicing as I should to get good and if I do im really slow at it. Got a full time job and some classes I attend too.Always felt like I wouldn't be able to keep up with Social Media art, so I just draw or doodle when I feel like it.But thanks for your compliments anon, made me happy. Ill try to post more here. I made the Koishi in the latest OP post too actually
I'm the guy who said he's going to draw for 8 hours. This is the one hour update. Copying from this book.>>7370007Will post my updates here, the new thread is very likely to not last anyway. Might as well use up the image limit in this thread.
>>7371039>Problem is I don't spend as much time practicing as I should to get goodAny amount of time is good, the only thing that matters is that you keep going.I mean you don't really need to keep up with the current zeigeist but can always archive your stuff, even if it is a small account it will give you a fuller picture of your progress.Be seeing you buddy.

>>7370607Do you post anywhere else?
>>7371335/beg/ and, on occasion, /fig/
"Master studies"
>>7369230Not the anon who drew that, but people like you who edit to visually illustrate your critique are a godsend.
>>7370531From the lingo, it looks like a page from the sharty wiki giving advice on how to epically pwn people
>>7371633Okinawanogori is really good for understanding the shape.
>>7369128Man, drawing after 2 weeks feels rough.
How did I do for a 2 hour speedpaint? What do I need to work on?
>>7369128My silly drawing there, thank you
>>7373361Could be worse. You're leaving a lot of things as sort of vague blobs instead of comitting. Like where are the heel or ankle supposed to be on these hooves.
>>7373361partially silly but i like it somehow.both are expired but we have newer thread already
>>7369230hmm this is exactly what i need, i'm making this one but the head looks bad, i also made her really stiff. (colors are just for reference)
