"Making it" refers to being featured in OP, right?
Too soon. Give the threads some breathing room.
>>7370625That's making it on "easy mode". Hard mode, is leaving this board for good.

Draw Chad King.
how do i go from just doing figure drawing studies to actually drawing figures doing dynamic poses
>>7370757you just doin all seriousness, i found that focusing on proportion, form, and accuracy for figures until you feel somewhat comfortable with them to be much better than starting with learning. it's fine for figures to be somewhat stiff when you're starting out, you can't do everything at once. ymmv though
i have a few questions -- i'm pleased with this so far because i'm /beg/, but: >is the head super fucked?>are the proportions weird?>anything particularly odd outside of the hands and feet?>can you tell what the character is holding?
>>7370757You force it. Just imagine or reference the whackiest fucking shit ever and you will stiffen it during corrections and shit.
>>7370771Legs are vastly different sizes, if it's supposed to be a perspective thing, the perspective is still way off.Proportions are mostly fine (going by the smaller leg at least) including the head.
hello /beg/
>>7370771upper arm is too short on hand on hip arm

Any good book for learning construction? I am like that retarded howie comic guy I don't understand 3d forms and gestures.
>>7370822morpho simplified forms, i also suggest proko and sketchfab for help with simplifications/rotations. it will probably look like ass for a while it's normal don't get discouraged
>>7370823Thanks!
>>7370625I got featured, does that mean my drawings are shit or
>>7370835It means whoever made the op image that was posted in the discord liked your work. This could mean it's so ass it's funny. It could be It shows technical skill. It could be your style is recognized and show consistent work and improvement.Don't worry about the world around you bro. Draw. Draw with me. Draw the images of life
Finished this yesterdaySome values are exaggerated (like the white line on the cube) because I only have one pencil without a sharpener that works But also I kinda shat myself Also some angles/proportions are just... off. I'm not very proud of the result but I'm glad I did it anyway
>>7370841This is a good attempt anon. You captured the soft edges well for a beginner
>>7370844yay thanks!
>>7370625Shit man. Even i have done that. Anyways, how many more years till I'm int?? Anything i fucked up in particular?
>>7370840>discord Hell no, bye faggots

>>7370874I used to watch a lot of Rinotuna streams to learn rendering by copying him. He got some books too that focus on rendering try it outLike drawing in general you wont get it right the first time just stick to it and you will improve
>>7370874try them all out and just pick the one you like most
>>7370860yes, the nose and bulgy cheektrace refs, copy refs
>>7370884i don't even know where to start. i don't understand anything that goes beyond "pick a darker color and shade with it." i don't know how people get painterly looking rendering, or make their lineart all colorful to go along with the coloring, or any of that shit, because literally every tutorial and guide literally just says "just do it lol" and every time i've ever asked about it here that's the same response i get too.

>>7370904Where do you think pies came from motherfucker?
im reattempting >>7369881 >>7369882 having read a little bit on CSP and feeling more retarded than i was just scribbling with pencil and blender on a single layer. im stuck on shading the background.first i tried to fill an offwhite texture on the paper layer. chatgpt said texture property in fill tool but i dont see that. the default "drawing paper" material loks like shit but maybe im misapplying it. using brush felt slow, laggy and shitty and i left unpainted holes.i tried polyline selection and went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out if i could click-adjust the vertices on the selection. maybe i could with a vector layer?so im starting again from empty white image and starting to hate myself.

Returned to Keys to Drawing and getting destroyed again by the value process heheAnd as is tradition I am winging it with proportions
>>7370956Why would it be? It's extra stuff on top of regular perspective
>>7370930>>7370924i kinda like this one, even though its unfocused, but there's so many multiple things you can focus at once before you're not focusing on anything
im starting to think i should ignore trying to make higher fidelity blocks and still lifes and just start scribbling animu faces
>>7370970Ok thanks for telling us.

how do you blend with the hard round and make it look smooth?Literally no where on the internet can i find a real explanation
>>7371004You pick the colors you get from each pass, and work from there.And you definitely didn't search the internet too thoroughly if you couldn't find it
"5 minute burn" keys to drawing
oh god I fucked upthen tried to fix itthen fucked up more
I think i'm getting better with linework, barerly use ctrl-z anymore and it's feels nice.
>>7371004>hard round and make it look smoothyou don't. this is the point of it.
>>7371024yes but now you have to focus on perspective since the torso ended up being completely asymmetric in halves' positions and height

Complete beginner here, are there any structured courses/books out there that are actually for someone who can't draw at all? Like I'm the type of person that struggles to write legible letters, let alone any sort of picture. All the materials I've checked out assume I have at least the basic skill of being able to make lines and stuff and usually go way too deep with the science behind it all. I just need something simple to teach me how to draw anime girls.

>>7371046Keys To Drawing my friend. I'm still a beginner because I didn't drew much since last year but the more I go further the more I see that KtD give every tools for a complete beginner (importance of accuracy, shape, how to map a drawing for shadows etc...). If you can't really understand what the book says sometimes, no problem. Just go watch a video about the subject and it will directly make sense.
if you're /beg/ and spending hours on a piece and constantly redrawing pieces when do you know it's bad foundation and it's time to move on vs needing a lot of polishing?
wasted the entire week playing league and I'm still not done fuck I need to manage my time better
>>7370874My fav artist (eu03) does it traditional style.He just picks colors and keeps painting as if it were trad, no digital fuckery.https://www.twitch.tv/eu03art
>>7371109>constantly redrawing?does that mean ctrl-z'ing all day? then yes, pick up a pen and drop digital for a whileif you mean making new pictures of the same subject, then that's fine
>>7371109that's a good question, but part of the problem is that if you're a beg, it's going to be relatively harder for you to make the distinction between polishing shit and doing something productive. my personal recommendation to circumvent this problem - though it's not perfect - is to set times for most of your studies. since the beginning portion of any drawing is the most important - as no amount of rendering will magically fix poor construction - it seems best to do more short(er) studies. what exactly that means is going to differ from person to person, but my rule of thumb is 2 hours or less. anything more than that is a longer study. these longer studies are important, though, as there are fundamentals they help you to practice which you won't (likely) get to if you just do 10 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, even an hour or more studies.redrawing something 10 times, say, isn't bad in itself. longer studies allow you to really push your theoretical knowledge and try to make it practical, tangible. you can try and retry ideas and try to see what works and what doesn't - which you're not necessarily afforded in a shorter study. so do a mix, but a majority (which could be 55-45, 60-40, 70-30, whatever you feel comfortable with) of what you draw, I would think, should be shorter. just depends on the context.
>>7371095whats the cover of it? so I don't download the wrong book.
no comment
>>7371121Now pick a pencil brush and do it again with a light sketchy hand. Then go over it with ink.And don't give anime girls Schwarzenegger jawlines
>>7371124im retrying now that my face feels less hot and my stomach has settled
Going back to realistic art is more tempting by the day
>>7371127Who is your fav artist?
>>7371132i guess shiwasu no okina
>>7371051Is it a good idea to start with poses? As I said I have no basic skills, this seems pretty advanced.>>7371095I found that one a bit complicated but I'll give it another try, thanks.
>>7371133Copy his faces.I believe that drawing is just like language. You cant expect to write a poem or a song in a language whose alphabet you dont even know.Just like toddlers learning how to write/draw letters with glue and soup you need to start copying.Copy the drawings of the artist you like and you will eventually start assimilating their style.
>>7371137i believe i should kill myself nowbut really, if copying an explicit template for basic anime face is too much then it seems like this is the only thing i should do for at least a week
>>7371147
>>7371147It is just because your spatial intelligence and coordination are shit. Use more measurements.Have you ever been in a car or drove a car or played competitive fps?It takes some talent and skill to be able to move your hand where your eye wants it to be, even more so when there is something between them like a mouse, stylus or steering wheel.Start with simpler shapes and train your accuracy on that.
>>7371153there are simpler shapes than circle and line? and im using measurements where i can, it's also a bit awkward being new to the stylus input
>>7371008thanks senpai
Im fuckign dying over here
>>7371147dont give up skeleton
>>7370618How are my values and perspective
>>7371156Drawing still life shapes is an exercise of accuracy because it forces you to only measure. Sizes must be the same, angles and lines must be the same.Pick one and draw one as exactly as possible.https://x.com/noahbradley/status/1854180411515031695Also remember that the brain commits to memory during sleep, so you will notice your gains on the next day and make sure you dont fuck up your schedule.
>>7371164I made the pieces fit a bit better, and indicated where I think the top of the armrest should be, it's too low.
>>7371178Actually I should have pushed the back cushion even more to the right, it still doesn't quite reach the armrest I don't think
>>7371170i think i do ok drawing from reference, better at least than this. i can feel that filling in by ratios from this face template is a lot less comfortable than scribbling by sight ref or photoi also wonder if i should try leveraging the software beyond drawing the initial circle
>>7370918
>draw something by myself>it looks like shit>draw a reference>it looks mildly okim going to kms>>7371137this is interesting advicemaybe one day i will be like a mix of nagano mamoru and hagio moto
>>7371112>>7371116thanks
>>7371182and as it happens i did used to play fps a lot, however im left handed and use the mouse with my right. after a few attempts my right hand is drawing good as or better circles than my left with the stylus and much better with the mouse
>>7371044
>>7371178>>7371181This is a good change, anon thanks.
>>7371211crop and resize your images

Hey /ic/ So yeah sorry for the shadow and the image (I don’t know why the image rotated)So I study Loomis and I have a problem with the limits of the face and the jawbone.

>>7371230your works are too soulful and pure for dis thread, you should consider to turn your ideas into something more massive, i bet everyone will like these
>>7371251I have a problem with this part of the head (when you cut the circle to make the bottom of the face)
>>7371248>>7371249it's not so much the lace (which i don't intend to draw kek) it's the shape. i thought i understood curtain folds but maybe not. adding highlights to white is fucking me up too

I would like to improve my line quality and start finishing things. I'm not happy with my eyelashes, I think they are drawn negatively, but I can't get the exact same feel I see in other people's work. I also need to improve my light shapes.What is the worst thing about this drawing?kek, the thumbnail looks like shit.
>>7371279par the course. keep going. if you're not already, try drawing every day, even if it's just 10-15 minutes.
>>7371263Yea but like... what part of that is giving you trouble?
>>7370176I should've drawn this on watercolor paper so I could've used paint instead of ink.>>7370607Thank you, anon. I will persevere for you specifically.
>>7371235With your talent and dedication you should be raking in money for this. Just saying
>>7371263You need to think more in 3d. Following from center of smaller circle wich is size from hair line to the chin, do a wider curve to the bottom.Remember that this area is not completly on side, it's on angle. Face is more round than ractangle. So you should see more volume of head side.Jaw bone should start a bit lower than ear bottom, but this can vary from person to person and you can stylize it a lot.
>>7371271what?
>>7371294I'm sorry if it's not that precise (I've drawn with my mouse)the part in red and purple (how to connect the line to the cranium)
>>7371311Hard to do on a front facing head, I think you're better off practicing in 3/4th perspective to understand the entire form better in which case it would connect roughly where the ear starts

>>7371049i'm not handed shit for methods lol. there is no guide that tells you how to do this type of thing. forget making a pie from scratch, i'm being told to invent the fucking oven first.
Last thread's heckling got to me. I'm grinding eyes, but I'm still not sure if I'm dodging the 'symbol drawing' accusations. If anyone has more pointed advice, hit me with it.
First A4 painting of a birdy. My biggest problem with it is I made the body to uniform in value so it feels less round, and don't look at the post it is standing on.
>>7371398Better.Too shaky tho.Do line and circle exercises before you draw to warm up.
Absolutely miserable first attempt at a still lifeits so fucking over
>>7371435go fish for compliments somewhere else
>>7371435True you should stop and leave.
>>7371435This was my first attempt.

>>7371490Sorry but anything other than a perfect copy is half assed. Do what the other guy said with constantly overlaying the original drawing for corrections.This way u force your mind to actually pay mind to the measurements instead of just rawdogging it.
>>7371494ok I guess I'll try doing that as best I can. holding it up to the monitor should work, right? that feels dumb but if it makes me a better artist then so be it
Day six...today was a hard day, so, not much is really going into it this time. Just, a quick attempt to make a perspective shot of some sort, to then spend some time working in fomurther tomorrow after I do some job hunting.
>>7371490>does that mean i should print it out or something?you already have your drawing as a jpgjust reduce its opacity and overlay it digitally

>>7371528crazy that people find this stuff attractive
>>7371534it is drawing, lines and circles and squares and sheeit just like you said
>>7370725That's not AI inspired though, too consistent to be. PYW, do you even draw?
if you're drawing a person, does it matter which body part you draw first? I'm just wondering if it leads to less mistakes if you draw the torso first or whatever
>>7371546Generally people start with the head circle/ellipse but it shouldn't matter. What I think is critical though is indicating first the top and bottom of the figure, to not make silly proportional mistakes. Just put two marks on the canvas/paper where the top of the head and the feet will be.
>>7371545Oh piss off. The guy has been drawing the same googly eyed shit for years without deviation and now comes up with some stuff that is your standard cookie cutter ai pinup shit?He even posted his own tensor model >>7370734 for fucks sake. Loaded up with the characters he always draws.And Subu is a known ai grifter.
>>7371546doesn't necessarily matter, but the bigger and/or more comparable the mass is to other features, the less likely you are to make mistakes. e.g., if you start with the hand and then use that to draw the legs, say, unless you're using some measuring tool to be 100% sure you're comparing them properly, it's harder to eyeball the relative relationship. whereas if you start with the head, compare it to the neck, then go to the torso, you can eyeball the head (and neck) with the torso a lot more easily. then you can use the head to compare to hands, say, when you get to it, etc.
>>7371553Thats Cris, not Soda. You need to catch up on your schizos
How do you guys deal with days where you draw like complete shit? About a week ago I had a brief period of time where I was drawing beautifully, probably the best I've ever drawn. Now my drawings look worse than they did 2 years ago, almost as if my brain went back to factory settings or something. It's so fucking frustrating and I don't know how to fix it
>>7371562I remember that that's natural, that everyone goes through it. obviously it's the manner in which you do it, not just the act itself, but I am grounded by the fact (or "idea", if you like) that me drawing as opposed to not doing it is getting me closer to my goal. even if it's just keeping the habit of drawing every day, it's what I should do ultimately. so I do it. negative emotions come, but they will go.
>>7371562rook into this
>>7371560What the fuck are you talking aboutIt is motherfucking Soda >>7370637
>>7371571No im talking about the tensorcore model or whatever the fuck. Soda wasn't the one who posted that that's cris's stuff lol
I cant draw.
>>7371574well
im loosened up enough that i decided to add extra bullshit on top of the shittiness, and the pencil layer is just visible just to show it some
>>7371583and oh, didnt realize i was zoomed in, it took up more of the canvas than that
>>7371044>>7371206Wow I didn't expect someone else to draw my character, nice work! And yeah, I'll definitely go for a more expressive pose next time
I only draw when I'm horny. Is that a bad thing?
>>7371604>Is that a bad thing?if you're trying to maximize your gains and aren't horny at and throughout every opportunity to draw, then yes.
you fags were the first ones i turned to because 4chan is all i know, but are there other groups i can pester with my shitty scribbles?

trying pens out to force my self to put more effort into drawing so heres some gestures
can someone make this but good pleaseto learn
Is doing copies like these conductive to anything unless I know construction?
is grinding loomis heads a bad way to improve?
I used too many calories on this, rotation is hard. "If you can't draw it, then you don't understand it" >>7371528did what I could with so little space.
>>7371711Go practice on one page a bunch of different lines and shapes in repetition. This exercise is from Peter Han Dynamic Sketching. If you want to be good at construction then you need to practice your marksmanship. It's evidently clear you lack confident lines.
>>7371689and i quick rock study to practice line weight and hatching
>>7371705Ain't gonna happen buddy.
I've been trying to learn how to draw for about 7 months now, and I was one of the those "never picked up a pencil in my life before" kinda of person.But the main problem is that drawing still didn't click for me, does that make sense? It's a skill that I want to develop, but the tutorials I read and watch don't seem to make any sense. I don't understand how seeing someone drawing will make me draw better, and when I try to draw I often feel "lost" - it's the best way to put it.Not trying to make excuses of why I'm bad/why I don't train more, but I wonder if other people tackled this more like thing you have to do and skill you will develop thru training and dedication rather than something you're feeling accomplished/fun while leaning, and how you stay motivated when what you draw doesn't seem to connect with you.
Are there any interesting or alternative ways to deal with perspective drawing? I just feel like the charting is so sterile and uninteresting, though that may be a skill issue. I'd kill to get some natural feeling perspective drawings.
Trying to be faster, but i can't lol
someone i looked up to said i would never improve or get good at art and i havent been able to pick up a pen since, and i honestly don't know how to get out of this state
>>7371756pyw
>>7371756Same. Once I gave one of my drawings to an artist I used to admire for a stream critique and after being told that I was drawing wrong and should stop trying to ape him and to draw from life and that I ws basically wrong on everything I felt very disappointed and crushed and stopped drawing for a couple months.It doesnt get better but you will go back to it eventually.
>>7371705Can't promise good, but here's a 4 minute adjustment. Might want to try /lsg/ instead.
The mind is willing, but the hand fails. First day, 20 minutes.
>>7371763use fewer lines
>>7371689>>7371729and an owl with a disproportionately small head
>>7371645The attempts continue.
>>7371756>>7371760Always remember, skill does not equal success. People who do nothing with what they have definitely doesn't equal success. The fact you are drawing at all in your adult life makes you an oddity, don't hinge what you do on others perception of your skill.
>>7371788I DONT GIVE A SHIT. I WANT TO BE GOOD. I WANT TO STOPFEBING FUCKING PERMABEG.
>>7371789I mean, if all you want is good art like other people, pick up AI and stop torturing yourself. There's not point in putting yourself through the mental anguish at this point.
>>7371737I don't understand, the work you've been putting out has been really good. You've set goals for yourself right? Are you feeling lost because your practicing just for the sake of "getting good"?
>>7371791You should stop giving advice
>>7371737try painting
skewed eyes
>>7371793It's the truth of the matter. If drawing makes you miserable or if somebody says you're never going to make it and that's enough to kill your drive, quit. There's no point. People may not wanna hear it, but AI art is going to take the professional jobs in the future, and it's always going to be closer to drawing like the artist you want to emulate, so if you aren't enjoying the process or hate where you're at and never think you're getting better, quit. What's the point? Why torture yourself? There's isn't really going to be much of a point in traditional art in the next 3-5 years if you don't genuinely just enjoy it and the process.
>>7371762it is good for me, I want to learn to draw like that
shoo shoo aijeetgo bait elsewhere
>>7370650
>>7371801Why don't you go ahead and explain how any of what I said is bait rather than some canned response to the moment that you see the word "ai" posted.
>>7371771nice, I like his expressionotherwise it feels flat (especially the feet), dynamic sketching would help
Reminder!Don't just do practices and studies to avoid the hard part of drawing

Drawing from imagination filters me hard bro. It makes me feel like an idiot after doing some great studies.
Essential viewinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h4-2HRHaHI
>>7371795excellent drawing anon
Fucking asian jeans...
are you supposed to draw from imagination? I only had 1 drawing come out decent when I drew from imagination, everything else came out garbage without reference
>>7371850there's drawing from memory and understanding how things workmaking shit up is not the way
>>7371850I guess depends what you want to doI want to do concept art so drawing from imagination is my end goalBut it's hard as fuck and I feel like I keep doing studies to escape it>>7371853It's a different skill setYes you need to understand how things work to draw anythingBut if you just copy shit you're not training the creative part of your brain
I personally copy my references a bit too closely when I draw and now it's become kind of a bad habit

>>7371528Really fucked up
>>7371907Permabeg
>>7371861so should I ignore the people telling me to draw from imagination or not? I'm getting conflicting answers here
>>7371913Reread the image
>>7371913There is no contradictionIf you draw from imagination and don't know how to draw a hand, find a reference of learn how to draw handsDrawing from imagination means deciding what you want to draw, the composition, the theme, is there one character or 2, what are they doing, where are they, etc.
>>7371916yeah but I had 2 other anons tell me to draw from imagination so I'm kinda confused by who I should listen to
>>7371918I thought drawing from imagination was using absolutely zero reference
>>7371919You grind your fundies or you end up like this permabeg >>7371907
>>7371923I think anons are talking about different thingsBut yes you need to draw from imagination, but you need to build up a visual library firstSo you need to draw hands from references a bunch until you can draw one from imagination
>>7371775End of day 16 out of 30.
>>7371927my drawings always come out poop when I drew without reference (except for one which weirdly one of my best performing pieces on social media) and I keep getting conflicting answers when I ask about it. Some people tell me to always use reference other people tell me to draw from imagination so I don't really know what to do
It's never too late
>>7371933if you want to draw a kangaroo from imagination, draw a bunch from reference from different angles until you truly understand themsame goes for everything else and unless you're kjg, you end up doing this only for the things you draw most often (like humans), and just use reference for the rest
>>7371818thanks i didnt use a reference but im just trying to improve my line work, contruction, values etc. i think using pens raisesmthe stakes and forces me to be more careful. heres another that i think addresses the issues the mentioned.
>>7371941I've draw womens bodies well enough without reference but I still use reference for them just in case
Critical thinking is not this board's strong suit
>>7371942
>>7371940I started at 26
>>7371907I tried to fix the face and I think I made it worse.
Today I drew for 8 hours as a way to force myself to actually draw. It wasn't consecutive as I took a few breaks, but I made sure to stop my timer whenever I wasn't actively working. I wasn't sure what to draw so I mostly just did studies from a book. 1/4
>>73719542/4
>>7371955This is when my lines stopped being so clean. I didn't realize it at the time but I was getting fatigued most likely.
>>7371940who? I'm 26 (and a half!) looking for some age inspiration
>>7371956These were copies I did of an artist I admire to end it. I also did a few doodles from imagination but those were godawful and a reminder not to get a big head. It's been months since I last drew so I hope I can make a habit of it. Anyways that's what I was able to draw in 8 hours.4/4
>>7371962Gonna need some source on that ass.Are you a student, wagie, weekend warrior, neet?Did you learn anything?For how much have you been drawing?
>>7371963source is https://x.com/okinawanogori but he locked his profile.Neet/weekend warrior.I've never studied those muscles so I learned those.I've only drawn a handful of times a year for the past few years. I'm one of those guys who find it hard to pick up a pencil.

Guys how am I doing?
Beginner here, are rulers cheating? (I'm not using any), should I use them? Should I really just be drawing shapes and practicing shading? Why am I so ass at this? Why was I better at drawing cute anime girls with a pen like a year ago? I'm decent with photoshop, part of me just wants to go digital entirely and draw that way and just keep fixing every mistake manually until it looks how I want, but it's a crutch isn't it, I need to get good this way but i'm so ass, what do I do?
>>7372030>are rulers cheating?yes>should i use them?Are you good enough to not use them?
>>7372031>YesBut erasers aren't? I feel like I was making way more progress when I was using a pen back in the day and committing to every line, but i'm just a giga amateur so idk what the fuck i'm talking about
toska-chan with clean lines, do you love her now??
>>7372040i wish i had your ability to draw a character so much as you, or simply draw as much as you
>>7372034The whole cheating discussion and muh don't erase is bro science and platitudes. Draw however you're comfortable, that said I don't think you should be using rulers unless you need geometrically perfect architecture drafts because perfectly straight lines, just like circles, are aesthetically boring.
>>7372052Well without nitpicking every single straight line and after a lot of erasing, without tracing, without using a ruler, I finally did it, without shading though which is a whole nother thing i'm ass at.It took like between 30-45 minutes though (I think) so I think that might be really bad though? I'll just try drawing cubes in different angles though, I didn't think it'd take this long, do you think I should focus on shading or just continue drawing cubes/different shapes.
>>7372048and why can't you draw?
>>7372052Rulers are nice. They can teach/remind your arm how to move in a straight line and a few crisp lines on the page to mog the shit out of your other lines can help you tighten things up.
>>7372070i'm so proud of these hips and thighs
Are we gonna get new threads up in this joint?
>>7372030There are only tools, nothing is cheating, the only thing that is unacceptable is plagiarism for profit.>should I use them (rulers)?As a guide, to make straight lines, to compare distances and proportions. Look at the strange rune in here >>7371718That's a ruler.>Why am I so ass at this? Your pen control is underdeveloped, lots of short strokes, Shading without following form.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TqNldrAbIchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKSbhbZ_-VQyou cant do it, keep posting.

https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/5/videohttps://drawabox.com/lesson/1/tablesofellipsesso uh, tips on actually drawing a circle? it says dont draw 1-line potatoes, go through it 2 or 3 times, and as a result im drawing 2 and 3 line potatoes
>>7372227practice
>>7372206gave him a friend
>>7372229i think im just becoming the best potato drawer and not an ellipse drawer
>>7372240ok ill apply my brain a little bit and try something like this, tracing ellipse tool outputs
>>7372249At this point it's literally just muscle memoryYou just need to train your musclesOn the other hand this is the kind of stuff you will learn if you just draw regardless so I think it's a trap to do this in isolationDrawing cubes also trains your 3D representation, drawing elipses is just training your muscles
>>7372253well i think if im just repeating unguided potatoes then im just training my muscles to draw unguided potatoes
>>7372261try this
>>7372263
>>7372227its all muscle memory and eye training, trace some circles and use this template draw small, large circles get a feel of them use your shoulder, elbow and wrist and see which is better for each size.
>>7372274If you look straight at the middle and hold it for a few seconds the red dots disappear
>>7372263>>7372274yeah, and it's also in part adapting to this very low friction pentabim using minimal line stabilization (CSP) on these practice potatoes but when actually drawing something i see no reason not to jack it up
>>7372277cone of vision
Okay, I think I'm starting to get this drawing thing. Look upon my /beg/pepes, ye mighty, and despair.
>>7372331Pizza tower coded
>>7371497You're starting to get it. Instead of drawing a circle You should try a sphere, like picture related. No idea what to tell you about snouts, I uses cones but I'm a beg like you. >>7371756You should be like Harlan Ellison and continue to improve, and when you finally see success show it off to them. His professor said he would never succeed and mailed every successful work to him later on. >>7372331Pretty close for day two.>>7372340I like it.

>>7372353nice ai slop.
I wanna ask about drawing perspectiveis that Ive seen a lot of these fine works with perspective lines and vanishing points and what not do they copy from a photo?if so or if not ,how do they measure the size of things, or they just feel that out, or the draw it relative to the sizes of the other things, or the overall size of the largest element drawn?
>>7372353like the other anon said, this is great work if you want some criticism, I'd say some of the edges are too wobbly, and the white highlights might be overdone and make little sense in some places I'd try going with more graphic shapes and take more care of the planes in the forehead

sorry, had to repost is cause I didnt like the way I cropped it, but then I found I cant make a better picture of it anywaysanyhow I started this 3 weeks ago, finished yesterday, at first I was testing the faculties I can use to draw, wanted to be somewhat accurate, but didnt really careat second round I just had fun with it,
>>7372410It isnt THAT bad

>>7372559I suck so much ass
Did I do the shape breakdown okay?This is another study for the record. Was easier and quicker to do compared to my past ones, but drawing her fingers was still a bitch and trial and error based which was annoying. I am going to draw her without it being a study next.
>>7372560Attach two spheres to the cylinder and put it into the donut. You will learn a lot from combining forms.Seriously though, great job anon. The cast shadows on the ground seem incongruent with the light sources though
>>7372562The real reason why people use contrapposto is so they can fuck up the alignment and nobody can call them on it.
>>7372553and i just realized i split other posts in a totally unrelated thread that are now too old to delet
>>7372565>The cast shadows on the ground seem incongruent with the light sources thoughagreed, I'm using robertson to calculate shadows, but it gets tricky very fast with floating tilted objectsI'll probably use blender for the next set of geoforms

>>7372645Fun little comic. Your panel compositions are very bad tho. They are very lazily thrown on and don't really flow well. I'd also recommend using a ruler. Other than that good job on making a comic, that's more than most are willing to do.

im probably going to ask the same sort of question every day but does this sound like a sensible routine? the goal is to draw qt anime gril lineart, eventually put them in lineart backgrounds, then sometime before i die try to get decent shadingA: lines, circles, boxes grindB: The Complete Guide to Drawing Manga & Anime grindC: sometimes an exercise from Keys to DrawingA for a while, B until fatigued, then A some more, then B again or maybe C
>>7372610From what perspective?
>>7372682A should just be a warmup at the start of the day to loosen up, check your posture, remind yourself you have an arm, etc. Do not get mindfucked by the Giotto meme.
>>7372685Front
>>7372693Maybe this could work, just add the flowers to the drawing
>>7372699This is also a good replacement pose
>>7371298Almost done.>>7371379Thank you.
>>7372699Perfect thanks >>7372700This one is good too
>>7372691what if my lines and basic shapes are really, really bad to the point of crippling my ability to to B which is full of filling in by drawing circles, square inside circle etc?
>>7372709nta but only doing practice is not what you want. sprinkle in some shit you actually want to draw to stop your brain from rotting away (like many of us)

Hey guys I tried the eye highlight thing from arcane, what do you think?
>>7372726Is she your wifu?
>>7372742yes, c.c.that one's by creayus
>>7372709What if you stopped making excuses and retreating to the brainless easy things and instead did the necessary hard things? Grab some junk mail or newspaper or whatever and trace a bit of it, I'll bet you have little to no problem getting lines that qualify as good enough. You could make the lines if you knew what they were supposed to look like, but you don't, and surprise surprise, you're not going to learn that by filling pages with circles.
>>7372645I am loving the comic. Keep grinding.
>>7372749drawing the anime face is very hard and fatiguing, as is the embarrassment of seeing the result when im doneim also tracing gridlines and what have you on CSPit doesnt help that im also adapting to pen tablet, the low friction and no give is new. and i started drawing just a few days ago.but what other necessary hard things could i do? im all ears
>>7372746You will forever by cucked by creayus, good luck!

Hello beg, last batch of shoes. Thank god its over. Shoes are not easy to draw.>>7372736i think its called makeup or mascara>>7372707i dont like how seamlessly his legs disappear, next time use reference of people standing in the field, their legs never disappear so cleanly cause grass is random. Another thing i cannot determine is what is going behind him. Are these clouds, mountains or a burning village? It needed to be done in less saturated colors to imply depth and perspective better. Last big nitpick is the black cape: too flat Even black cloth reflects light and is never perfectly straight>>7372682>sometimes i will do the easiest most beg friendly fundies>sometimesdo keys to drawing first and foremost, fuck A, waste of time, you get line practice every time you hold pencil anyway>>7372645completely unreadable, research what is composition and or maybe read some how2comic book like Marcos Mateu Framed Ink. But it looks like you had fun doodling it, so i kneel
>>7372793my problem with keys to drawing is more logistical, like this whole chapter involving other people, or things that i cant really arrange with my laptop and pentab except on days i can get to the library and set up an actual desk
>>7372800What if you stopped making excuses?
>>7372820ok ill shoot, will you take an hour to pose for me tomorrow
any know what book this is?

>>7372824some nip dumbing down roomisu
>>7372841Oh this is better i can actually read it
im a /3/fag but my dumbass decided to use blenders grease pencil to animate the mouth in my current project. haven't done any 2d animation before, idk why i thought this would be a good idea but I'm in too deep to not follow through at this point. can i get some feedback on this? want to fix up as much as I can before going through to color it.the reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fePtLL7oRDg
Isn't knowing geometry just better way to learn to draw shapes than just drawing them. Like it's all just math
other girl will grope her from behindwhen i draw other girl ofc
changing it the local value
we done with this thread soon? we're already in page 6
Chibis are fun and quick to make. It is a nice way to put into practice everything I know so far.>>7372868Adding some squash and stretch to the lifting motion would give it more energy.>>7372785shade her>>7372707What were you trying to say with that, I'm just stuck in the yellow spot in the middle.>>7372876honestly only in super specific cases, the most useful theorem you will find in art is the thales theorem, >Do you need 19 evenly spaced windows in your building? Use Thales.>Are your vanishing points far away?use Thales I have yet to find any other concept used IRL, polar coordinates is a nice paradigm to have in mind sometimes, but not really worth teaching. Only when you get to computer graphics do you start to "create" art with math.
>>7372838If this is your's anon, I love this. It has soul and appeal. Obv I think there are improvements, especially in the the colour blending, but despite the flaws I think it's a wonderful drawing and the rest of the thread should be ashamed of themselves for ignoring this piece.
>>7372904only interested in the mouth at this point fren, thanks though
>>7372904it's kind of hard to explain what I mean, but Isn't everything just a constant once perspective is set. So if you think about it everything should be just pure math.
>>7372868IA WISHE IA WER UH BIRDU
>>7372902Only another 3-4 days until we fall off catalog, oh no.
>>7372925Page 7. ah geez
kind of fail
>>7372935looks pretty good desu minus her tiddies, they look very weird
>>7372935BAGS OF SAND NIGGA
Does this look 3d enough? Is my construction UTTER SHITE?
>>7372967where is the horizon line anon? placing it will help you with your contour lines.
Can I get some perspective help? I had to eye it, the ref has way more vanishing points, but in trying to just work at applying it more naturally
>>7372971
>>7372972Also, can this be the thread challenge for now ? I’d love to see different anon’s takes on this
>>7372599if you can't self-direct your learning then you're probably not /int/
>>7372682have you drawn some anime girls yet? stop procrastinating
I never learned my fundies, all I do is use a bunch of reference and copy them
>>7372902Making new threads at bump limit is a fairly new thing. I haven't been here for months so I don't know how it started.
>>7372986self directed to a list of supposed int books >>7370618read through 60 pages and the author said it was mostly for beginners so i had the ingenious idea of simply asking if anyone could tell me which ones were for intermediates. id assume based on the snarky response you havent read them and if you did you couldve just said which ones were for intermediates
>>7372971>>7372972Anon, it feels overworked and very hard to continue, at least I would feel confused with so many boxes, what I have seen pros do is box the big object and group smaller things as boxes. in your case a box for the table, blue man, fat guy and for the things on the table a single box grouping them.But then get the wrong idea your draftsmanship is really nice.>>7372980it looks daunting, and probably fail but will put my pen where my mouth is. >>7372902No, I'm going to try the other anon idea, even though I don't agree with it.>>7372999skim read for some time. Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters is often recommended.
>>7372967Permabeg
>>7373016Good critique man quality stuff
>>7373005Your methodology would’ve been a lot simpler, thanks for the advice
>>7373005Also it’s very daunting but I think you’ll learn a lot. It’s from hearthstone, and the art has a lot of good perspective so it’s good reference

thought it would be fun to try rendering one of Xiao's characters as if it were a geoform
>>7373058Helpful drawing anon. I see what you mean
I'd post, but my portraits today turned out d o o k i e.So have some eyes. Been drilling these for a while now.
Show me how you draw a face with timelapse
>>7372909>blendingyeah definitely. that was after a failed attempt and some testing to improve on it, but i think the secret is "don't use crayon on smooth copy paper"

work in progress
>>7372992What does your art look like? >>7373093Yeah, some days are like that.
>>7373171this was all my art in the past 2 years. The only one I didn't use ref for was tifa, at least for her body (mainly cause I tried to use a reference, messed it up and went with it anyway)I posted this in the art progress thread and I decided to be lazy and reuse the image here since you were asking for my art
>>7372935Thanks for the fanart!>>7372548>>7372680I was going for this kind of breasts but I messed up
i'm not sure if i like this one at this point, hands are killing me
>>7373186figured as much. reminded me of how they drew breasts in old 90's and early 00's anime
>>7373378Bleh
this thread seems to be dying off. can we finally have a new one?
>>7373460everyone keeps asking the poor guy who has to make these threads every day instead of just making the new one themselves lol
>>7373182Looks fine to me. If you drew something I liked--whether it be a lewd image or some character--I would save it without a second thought. You also seem to be able to draw from imagination just fine.
>>7373460Is a new thread going to wake up all the burgers and send euros home from work early to start posting?
>>7373468The guy kinda knows what he is doing, so why should i half ass it?
>>7373482I'll post my piece when the new thread drops. I feel this one is just about done. Since it's page 8 already
>>7373492OP is hack use https://amethyst-chanda-85.tiiny.site/
>>7373301Sorry, but i immediately thought of this when i saw your art
>>7373493I was not actually confused about why you wanted a fresh thread, I was making fun of you for trying to be coy.

>>7372953This is pretty damn nice anon. Post ref?
Tried another full length on 9x12" paper, kept the length of the arms but had to pare her legs back to anime proportions. Naturally if you're drawing figure studies regularly you won't run into this issue as much.
>>7373508It gets the job done, and a lot of people are happy to see their work in OP.
>>7373516
>>7373042>>7373049Oh fuck I posted on the other thread, but this one is still alive.Blog? I like your work.
