Using imagination to draw erotica feels better than watching porn. Anyway, any critique? Feel like I got a bit too carried away with the blush, looks more like a huge dark blotch
>>7436832Yeah, definitely a bit overdone on the blush.Could use a bit more sag on the tiddies.
>>7436836>Could use a bit more sag on the tiddies.Bullshit.
>>7436836Based and patrician saggy connoisseur>>7436845Retarded and disgusting saggy hater
>>7436832Yea, the blushing effect on the cheeks needs less detailing, its hard to do with pencil strokes. You could consider leaving that for coloring later. The eyes need a little tweaking I think, bit more work on the eye lashes. Nice job on the arms and the lats.
>>7436857I don't "hate" sag, but the perky tits on anon's drawing are fine. He's not drawing an 35 yo
>>7436845You're right. I thought she was laying down at first and the breasts sag outwards in that position.
I’ve kept to my New Year’s resolution to not draw. Fuck all y’all niggas.
>>7436815
>>7436858>the blushing effect on the cheeks needs less detailing, its hard to do with pencil strokesYeah, I'm using a dip pen and trying to practice shading and hatching. I wanted to "soften" the margins of the shaded area so I kept overcorrecting and ended up with too much blush. I don't intend to colour this piece so it is as it is now.>Nice job on the arms and the latsThanks!
>>7436865Well she is supposed to be laying down but I like them a bit fuller and perky
Just random stuff i drown.
WIP Mech deity. Made of living metal, these "colossi" are gestated in massive facilities rather than constructed. This is the first one that doesn't use the pilot's soul for fuel, instead it runs on cerebrate batteries(the tubes on its back there). From my fantasy-scifi setting, in the later ages of the world most gods are long dead and replaced with artificial ones. The nation that makes this one is secular and religion of any kind is outlawed, but in practice they are still revered as idols by those who believe these machines will keep them safe.
>>7436886That far side shoulder could gouge out an eye if someone were to fall onto it. Tug it in anon, shoulders dont actually stick out like that.
>>7436912Sketch of the first of these mech gods to be created in the modern day.
I'm never getting gesture drawing.
>>7436912ok thanks for letting us know
How can I achieve an acceptable level of drawing figures from boxes and eggs, this shit is simply pointless
>>7436906You need to draw Shinjistein's iron golem

>>7436926Youre doing good on proportions, I'd say its time to go on to closer to complete drawings.
>open artbook>this is the first page>close artbook
>>7437006>pleasing to the eyeAlso, that star of david coupled with that shitty caricature seems on purpose.
>>7436926are you just grinding figure drawings? You should turn the figures that you think went well into fully realized character drawings so you actually get to see how well the figure holds up as guidance.
>post something>post it everywhere>no replies
Had a couple of hours in the library to work on my paper or prepare for my next reading of Tacitus, decided to draw this instead. Actually quite a lot of fun after some pretty boring exercises. I'm not crazy about the face, but I'm not sure what I should have done differently.
>>743703799% chance your work is either boring or so bad that it'd be faster to list things that aren't wrong with it
>>7437037It took me many tries to finally get replies on the thread anon, now my drawing is in the OP and I'm super excited, be the way you would like everyone else to be and comment on someone else's work too.
Trying to achieve consistency.
>>7437049>I'm super excitedMan. I can't remember the last time I felt excited or satisfied with anything. Even when I get praise or attention, I can't feel anything.
>>7436876Good job on the hands, the overall image is sort of disgusting though. What is it meant to convey?
>>7437061Take ketamine, thank me later

>>7437071Thank you, challenge-anon for a grainy, poorly lit pose that is sure to confuse begs who won't realize that she's tilting her hips weird to make herself look like she has an ass
>>7437071that's a man...
drew figures so long that my faces and head shapes from imagination got worse
Thread Challenge 2
>>7437038Keep at it /beg/ bro. Drawing what you want is what makes art worth it.As for the face... Faces are hard. Mouth smaller, eyes smaller maybe. Use less pen pressure when drawing those nose, the nose should always be really subtle.
Legs feel a bit weird.Also, is it obvious that the spear that goes through his head is going into the ground behind him?I think I'll clean this one up and finish it, either today or tomorrow, not sure if I should give him clothes though.>>7437052Very cute. Consistency in terms of doing a character consistently?>>7436912Badass! Is that just a construction on the right arm, or does it have a forcefield or somesuch?
>>7437015I don't understand this kind of thinking, what's the point of drawing a finished drawing if it's going to be crap since I don't know anatomy and facial structure? Until such figures are normal, until I can draw anatomy and faces normally, drawing specific characters is pointless, I know they'll be crap. This kind of thinking is found in kids who just like to draw, I think it's forgivable for Japanese kids, I watched a lot of channels where Japanese schoolchildren drew anime, with crap proportions and anatomy, but their drawings were much better than all the crap that's usually there, but it turns out, look, they're great at color, drawing eyes, and some general mood of the drawing, in the future when they study anatomy they'll become excellent. I can't do anatomy, or structure, or the mood that will make a crap drawing good, I seriously need to jerk off boxes with these figures, otherwise everything that happens further in my studies will be crap
>>7437134>This kind of thinking is found in kids who just like to drawDo you not like to draw? On a serious note, my anatomy, faces etc have improved a lot when I try to finish something, cause I'm really trying to do the best I can. Obviously practicing specific things is important, but I think you also need to see the finished thing sometimes to get a feel how it all plays into each other.I don't necessarily agree with the other anon that you need to use your grinded figures, you can also do something specifically to finish it, but the idea is the same.

>>7437126That pic goes hard. I think maybe the foreshortening on the thigh area is a little too much. Also looks like he has a subtle smile, is that meant to be the case?
Today, instead of drawing boxes and hoarding materials, I actually tried something. I took a character, a random gesture and tried to make it work.Today, a prebeg drew. I am happy, even if it sucks.
>>7437065It's a vampire being killed by the dawn in the middle of having sex with his spiteful lover
>>7437083It like obviously isn't.
>>7437085I tried, the perspective on the background is a bit tricky since you can see both the up side of the bottom counter and the lower side of the upper one, so I just simplified it.
>>7437085>when leg day is everyday
>>7437184
>>7437126>Consistency in terms of doing a character consistently?Yes, the style shifts from the drawing to drawing too much>Legs feel a bit weird.I think it's the knees. I'm not very good at anatomy, but I feel like defining the knee shape would help>Also, is it obvious that the spear that goes through his head is going into the ground behind him?It is, but it kinda looks like the ground is transparent and the tip is visible.
>>7436815I know the sticky route, but I've got a chunk of books and courses ripped so was wondering on your guys inputIf you were to start out, which book or course would you start with?I've got the following:Anatomy For SculptorsGesture Drawing Dynamic Movement by Michael HamptonLoomis Head and HandsDynamic Sketching 1 by Peter HanDraw a Box lessons 1-3The Art of Science and Drawing by Brent EvistoneKrenz perspectiveSaito 1 month improvement courseand some stuff from Kim Jung GiI feel Draw a box to learn how to markmake -> Uldis -> Loomis -> Hampton, Han and Krenz and then Saito for fun. Been also told to maybe use Dodson as wellcurious as to your thoughts?
>>7437250idk if its just me, I can happily copy shit for 8 hours straight, but give me 15 minutes with a random course or a drawing book and it makes me wanna kill myself
Shit №2
I did it. I just drew. And now know what my grinding before was useless as nothing sticks if you don't actually use it. Will be fun redrawing this when im better.IMAGINATION
>>7437261>my grindingHow many boxes and s lines did you draw
>>7437250Stop making plans you can't keep.
>>7437192Thanks anon!>I think maybe the foreshortening on the thigh area is a little too muchQuick edit, and I think you were right. Probably not 100% correct, but it looks better than before.>Also looks like he has a subtle smile, is that meant to be the case?It wasn't, thanks for spotting that. I wanted a neutral or kind of solemn expression, tried a few things and I think it's closer now?>>7437240>Yes, the style shifts from the drawing to drawing too muchAh, I see. I think you're already close, closer than I would be right now at least, I feel like everything I draw looks wildly different from the last thing. I guess one thing I noticed in >>7437052 is that 2 has a somewhat angular and low cheek, and 4 has a rounder and higher cheek. Obviously perspective is gonna play into it though, and it's really minor, so probably not all to helpful, sorry.>I think it's the kneesProbably related to the foreshortening issue, but yeah, I should probably define them more. I just also suck at leg anatomy>but it kinda looks like the ground is transparent and the tip is visible.It probably is. For a first "color sketch" I don't put down base colors usually and just work with opacity brushes. Probably just didn't put down enough color there. I do need to figure out how to do the impact though. Maybe a small crater or something.Thank you as well for the tips.
>>7437264Used to do shit tons of pages daily but got bored and stopped trying altogether. I got some better figures but this is the only one where i did anything with the background. Now trying construction could actually help i think. Been doing heads but i still feel like i don't know how to make them. Never applied and hoarded books instead.
Trying to do more detailed stuff, in the end I got tired (this shit is crazy), but I think it ended up looking decent, the shoes (and hands, obviously) look a bit weird though.
>>7437268Yeah, its clearer now, though its possible you overcorrected a little. Also, maybe make his ribcage/ waist a slight bit thinner;
>>7436815I stopped as I didn't know how to continue, or make it better.How can I improve in digital painting? I would give it a painterly effect, but I have no idea about what/where to learn, and how to progress.
>>7437306
>>7437293I did actually just slim the waist down, cause I noticed it looked weird with the slimmer legs. But yeah, I might have overdone it with the corrections. Still, I'm gonna go ahead with this, since I doubt I would get it fully right without some immense luck and this looks ok to me. Thanks again!
>>7437268I knew someone would put an eye out on one of those things
>>7437311>I'm gonna go ahead with thisYeah, its not something that ACTUALLY needs correcting, looks fine as is.
>>7437314Ah sorry, I meant between posting that last image and responding to you, I slimmed the waist down, kek. Just thought it was funny that I actually noticed it at the same time as you
>>7437306That's super cute, I could see it on someone's living room.
>>7437306you know you can color pick your colors, right?
>>7436857I just don't understand coloring. Even flat painting looks bad. Any good video on that shit?
how the fuck does one "draw from/with the shoulder"? Vertical lines are hard as heck and feel super stiff
>>7437321Yea nah, I got that, I mean the lips don't actually need to be redone.
>>7437255fair but starting out I can barely make straight lines let alone know how perspective works>>7437267also fair but shit beyond first few lessons of draw-a-box is a sea
>>7437337I think this doesn't apply to tablets because we don't draw on huge paper on easels.
>>7437255Same bro, if you don't enjoy it you're gonna quit and not make any progress anyway.
>>7437343It does, kindaThe important thing is to use more of your arm not just your wristIf you only have space to use your lower arm, that's enough tooThe important thing is to have a larger range of motion
>>7437333Realize the background is not in fact briliant white.
Forced some practice since I drew nothing else today. Big guy is an example of new "race" of human that was enhanced to colonize dangerous areas. Point was that during this period humans are drifting apart in shape and size, but I didn't actually draw any other type. The two to the right are actual characters of mine.
>>7437351that's not the part I was coloring, I was obviously interested in the skin.Unless knowing the background color and its reflections are the key to good skin coloring - but I am not that far yet. I'm aiming for good enough (for now).
>>7436815I really only draw flowers and abstract stuff, this is my first time trying to draw stonework. It looks like shit, but at least I'm having fun. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it when I finish coloring everything in. I fucked up the perspective on the bushes immensely too, but hot watercolor press is expensive so I'm just gonna keep going instead of throwing it out.I only draw as a hobby anyway so it's not like I'm going to actually do any harm by sticking with something even with a few mistakes.I already got a fuck load of advice in another thread, but any feedback is welcome.> in b4 it look like shitYea I know it's shit. But it's -my- shit.
trying to make left in the style of right. what brush to use? also any tips in general ik it looks bad.
>>7437356Harsh lesson for the future.
>>7437085my entry>>7437268cool concept, is he hoisted up by the spear a bit or actually completely sitting on his leg/the ground. if hoisted I'd try to emphatize that a bit more to make it more readable what's happening
>>7437333Grody.
it's so much harder to do straight lines making vertical or horizontal strokes compared to diagonal ones
WIP for some anon into grotesquely oversized breasts.I still cant draw faces heeeelp
>>7437071took some artistic freedom with the outfit.
>>7437446are you getting paid for that. not worth sacrificing your mental integrity for free
>>7437333its not that bad.I think you just need to consider the values a bit more. you have the right idea, but even the texture you used has more contrast than the actual values of the body. squint or zoom out for easy value reading.and give your lines a bit more love!
>>7437468I am not good enough for comms and I get paid enough as a codeslave to not need extra income.If anything, I am just slightly glad that people like my ugly shit.
>>7437470Wow!Really impressed by how you polished my turd. And very useful for me to see how it could be done. Thanks a lot! I'm going to practice this tomorrow

>>7436815Brand new to drawing here, besides scratching shit onto envelope backs. I'm having a very hard time improving. It's difficult for me to focus so I make mistakes and don't really take note of where I should improve.What drugs would you reccomend to help learn to draw? Adderall? Microdosing mushrooms helps me focus but it's hard to dose correctly
i literally went to art school college but haven't draw in years because AI has killed my motivationIdeation was always hard for me and it felt so easy prompting what i wanted in some ai insteadi want to come back to drawing and illustration but i feel like stuck in a mud like and can't get out to the art shoreplease help
Traditional is so much more comfortable and enjoyable. Only problem is you can't correct your mistakes as easily as digital.

>>7437577let me rephrasei went to college wanting to become an illustrator, like a concept artist or a comic artist, but i got so disillusioned with myself that i ended up going for design jobs instead, and have been working for a marketing company for 4+ years, but whenever i want to actually draw my mind goes "why are you gonna waste time doing it when you could just type what you want and its done"i know its absolutely lazy and corrupt of me to think like that and its why i'm trying to get over this feeling to illustrate my point, here is a drawing i made years ago for a custom MTG token for a friend (keep in mind the printsize)nowadays i (or even he) could just prompt an ai for it
>I just draw
>>7437639>Concept artistLiteral subhuman cattle. Imagine being a literal human prompt generator that corporate is looking how to replace 24/7.>Comic artistWhat is stopping you? You have a dream comic, right?
>>7437639I mean, that sure sounds like cowardice to me.
I call it… bridgmanime.
>>7437661Frightening.
>>7437663I feel like Bridgman is even more a meme than when I tried fwap and gave up years ago. I feel like I’m drowning. I know I’m learning stuff, but I don’t know what exactly. Form, light, anatomy, gesture. It’s like it’s all crammed together and encoded in quick sketches and impenetrable language. Like the book was meant for someone who already knows all this stuff. But if they already know it, what’s the point?
>>7437681Unironically construction would help you. For some people its a waste of time, but I think you'd profit from it.
its so over
>>7437656>human prompt generator that corporate is looking how to replace 24/7like i said, disillusioned>What is stopping you?great question, anon>>7437659i'm not saying it isn't. i'm asking how i can get over it.pic is another custom mtg token, a Sif for a 2/2 wolf.
>>7437681It's probably better for you to start with observation training. Like Betty Edwards' or Bert Dodson's books. Basically you lack hand-eye coordination to copy what you see.
>>7435814What was the joke you said is too mean?
how to stop masturbating instead of drawing? whenevr i have free time i always end up using it to masturbate and i never get any drawing done,
>>7437690Is it something you're doing due to actually libido or is it just habitual? First thing is to realize it's something that's actually sabotaging you. It's not harmless fun, it's frying your brain and making you an inferior man. Then again, if you're just gonna draw porn instead you might as well go on ruining yourself the common way
>>7437697i dont draw porn or anything sexual at all, i almost strictly draw men, not even women. so it has nothign to do with my art. its just the transition from having to actually do something instead of just sitting in front of a screen watching youtube or smthing that makes my wind wander to masturbation and once it enters my mind i have to do it and so before i know it ive done it and im back to watching yt again and no drawing was done, repeat cycle. at most i get done a couple minutes of drawing before getting bored again.
>>7437685>>7437682I think I see what you mean. I can see the form/tone/not-symbol like drawing on the right side of the brain teaches, and I have practiced pages of straight lines and circles, but there’s a disconnect between the two causing every single line to be a little off, leading to Frankenstein girl. Right? What exercise fixes this? The dot thing? Do I drop bridgeman and Loomis and go get a copy of keys to drawing and just work through it? Do I read more than the first two chapters of dotrsotb?

I give up on this doodle from memory,.Why does she look so fucking bad? Something tells me that the eyes are wrong and the face is weird but I cant nail it down or correct it.
Can I get some critique? Aside from the hands which is fairly obvious.Its based of a batman and robin cover from the sega genesis game.
>>7437719It doesn’t look as bad as you think imoThe vertical line in the dead center of her face which is assume is her nose could maybe be lowered a little and the lines below that, her mouth, could be centered a little. As for the way you drew the top of her head, it makes her cranium appear too small, especially for the angle you seem to be going for with us kinda looking down at her. i'd raise that as well as the part of her hairline showing in the middle since it made her forehead look a tad bit too short especially for an anime type of style.

I don't like Loomis, any other good construction books? Specifically for faces. I can feel things 3 dimensionally and do bodies decently enough but I have some kind of autism when it comes to faces Last time I posted faces here people said it looked like serial killer art in a bad way

I also like booba.Rendering it would be fun, I am sure.One first has to draw the extremes to be able to figure out where the border to nice and juicy to freakish is.

is it bad to use really high stabilization on everything from sketching to inking
>>7437719What kind of look are you aiming for?
>>7437896high stabilization looks bad
>>7437896Zero stabilization gives you maximum control over your lines, this is important to develop your eye-hand coordination. If it makes you miserable you can decrease it gradually over a few days or weeks
>>7437908>>7437901what if i have potato laptop and using csp though, i feel like having less than 30 stab is like drawing on a ceramic floor
>>7437912what do you want? Permission?Restriction?
>>7437923how poorfag like me cope
>>7437912CSP has shit multithreading, so it's honestly not going to be much worse on old hardware unless it's actually like 20 years old.Digital is just that wobbly feeling, gotta get used to it. Stabilizers are crap and will make your art look like crap unless you know exactly what you're doing.
>>7437925I allow you to use as much stab as you need to make your drawing comfortable and the result enjoyable.
>>7437742I will inform myself more about Nathan Fowkes, thank you. Your serval is funny.Also, do you have tips about drawing in digital too? Whenever I draw on the tablet, it's like I have lost years of experience compared to pencil and paper, probably due to friction.>>7437327Of course. I just don't know about how to proceed in order to give the right look for things like the fur.>>7437324Cute, indeed.>>7437250Many skills in drawing kinda need to be learned together, which is what makes it hard. I don't have idea about the right route, but maybe anything that teaches you about to pay attention to relations and proportions (observation) is among the first things to learn. Then basic perspective (at least 3 point), and then you could start to learn anatomy.The most understandable sources to learn anatomy from are Scott Eaton Anatomy for Artists course, and Michael Hampton Figure Drawing Design and Invention book. Michael has a course too.
>>7437085This is better than the toph picture, that one looks very edited.
>>7437446People are clowning this because it holds a mirror to how everyone else views the "I wanna draw naked anime girls (who are always in a painful twisted pose showing off their g-cup tits, neotenous faces and butt cheeks) against a white background" crowd, which is like 98% of /beg/ and /int/. I mean the endgame really seems to be a flopping set of floating, amorphous gigantic blob tits so why bother with any other body part? I'll pmw if you post your anime girl in the void lmao

>>7437828What about the head is off? I spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to look right because of the angle and perspective, but I agree it's not 100%.

>>7438060If your objective was to make it attractive, you failed, but if you meant to make it disturbing you nailed it. For some reason grotesque things that border on the sexual disturb me the most. Sex is so easily twisted into something disgusting irl, in fiction an art we can have a more literal representation of said "corruption".
>>7438068Disturbing or grotesque was the preferred interpretation so thank you anon. I'm ok with people thinking its sexy too though.
>>7437699Sounds like it's habitual, your brain mechanically goes to that when there's nothing else to do. Been there, here's what you do. First you eliminate the chances you have for your brain to reach that conclusion. You need to FORCE yourself to draw or do any other activity when you catch yourself doing what usually leads to goonish practices. If it's YouTube, then don't aimlessly browse it. Secondly, and this one is less important but still necessary, make the type of porn you do watch milder. Don't watch porn videos anymore, go to /s/ or something more tame like that. I do think hentai is probably way less bad for your brain, so long as it's not hyper degenerate content(rape, cucking, cbt and so on). That way you'll hopefully start watching it less and less, and ofc you'll have to make an effort with your own willpower to do that.
Going to post here too.What do you guys think?Thanks in advance.
>>7438081>Thanks in advanceI fucking hate this sentence.
てThe boys are finished. Now I need to make background. I've narrowed down a few options:1. Urban type setting, like residential area or shopping street2. Festival type setting with stalls and shit like that.Not sure which one to pickAlso what about the order? Should I move them around? I thought this looked the best order wise

Dumb question but when it comes to drawing facial expressions, especially of characters you made up, how do you do it? It seems like it'd be a pain in the ass to visualize the character doing certain expressions. Even learning the shapes/etc of the face to manipulate them seems like it's a hassle.
>>7438100Where do you figure the hole is? Also you'd probably get some wicked new diseases to add to the roster
>>7438115Every human face is made of the same muscles and skull planes in roughly the same proportion, but in different configuration. Just study a bunch of faces and focus on things like "this muscle pile this way, bringing these other muscles taut," eventually it's just like working with clay.
>>7438115Yeah it ain't easy for begs. I still don't know how to draw a convincing smile thats not trying to be goofy. I do know how to draw any character scowling though
is the advice to not ctrl z or erase bad marks and use or pretend that i use a pen even useful
>>7438136Not at fucking all.
>>7438136outside of speed focused figure drawings, no. Also ereasers aren't just undo tools they are active drawing tools.

>>7438084>>7438101no one cares about your opinion, go draw crab
>>7438136This board is full of retarded advice lmao.
>>7438143Is that the order you want to see them in? Assuming now it's 1 from left till 5 on the right?
>>7437974>I'll pmw if you post your anime girl in the void lmao
>>7438136it makes thigns harder but forces you to think before every stroke which is a good thing

Do you guys have any tips/tricks for drawing symmetrical angles/curves? Every time I try it is ALWAYS off in some aspect.
>>7438195I don't think there are any tricks except mileage and practice improving your sense of symmetry. Or just use your software's mirror tool if you need a perfectly symmetrical line. I don't do that and accept that it will look off as I struggle through my /beg/ness.
>>7438196Digital, ew.I was traditional was more of a thing still, sick of seeing everything being digital these days, especially tutorials.
>>7438195rotate/mirror canvas, the joints in your shoulder elbow and hand make drawing lines in certain directions easier
>>7438198Cringe reaction. Just say you're trad.
My dumbass just realized I could just get a protractor to check the angles
>>7438195There are technical methods ala Scott Roberson but in most cases you're probably just fine eyeballing it or getting as close as possible in whatever way. If it isn't a geometric design or a building or whatever nobody will notice.
>>7438149you are so fucking good. Blog?
>>7438219thanks
please.....give me a resource.....for drawing boobs......im begging.....
>>7438227Ask this guy>>7437446
>>7438223N-no blog?
>>7437518The beetle's finished. I'd honestly recommend beginners to draw insect life as practice to become more confident in drawing in general since even if you make mistakes it can still retain that form that they're known for and some human error can even make it more lifelike.
>>7438306Repulsive. Go kill yourself pedophile.
>>7438306Attractive. Go live yourself pedophile.
>>7437937>Your serval is funny.mistakes were made it, looks more corgi than serval kek.> do you have tips about drawing in digital too? Whenever I draw on the tablet, it's like I have lost years of experience compared to pencil and paper, probably due to friction.I get you—this is something I work on and research a lot. I try to replicate the feel of traditional drawing. Here’s what I’ve found:friction:If you’re using a screenless tablet, tape a sheet of paper on it. If you’re worried about nib lifespan, there are titanium nibs—I use those.For screens, consider textured screen protectors like healing shields.size:Figure out if you draw with a soft or hard touch. I aim to match the size curve to how it feels drawing traditionally with a pencil.I draw with a soft touch. If I press too hard, I lose precision, and my lines get wobbly. Play around with the global pressure curve in your tablet or drawing app settings.For brush size range: in traditional art, I overlap strokes to build thickness, so I keep size ranges narrow. You can do this with (1) linear curves (0–100) or (2) clamping curves, which work well with other settings like opacity.opacity:Since I like overlapping strokes, I usually combine opacity with a blend mode like “greater” or compare density to avoid banding. darken is nice too.This is the only resource I’ve found that really dives into line art:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q-RlUet2iU>>7438008thanks, I will check it out>>7437809they are hard to read, I think you are focusing too much in local values instead of the abstraction of the folds, the center one reads the easiest looks like normal pipe folds, check out bridgman chapter on drapery.>>7438104thumbnail is hard to read, I do like gesture on the purple figure.>>7438297looks great, but pencil brush tips look blurry at large sizes
>>7437834>all I do is just draw random trashLooks like you may have contracted the Pixel Schizo Disease. Maybe it would help to have an idea of what the end result should look like.
What do you need to understand how to draw a fucking pelvis in the form of a box? it’s not an abstract box in the void, it’s a concrete abstract perspective of the pelvis, everything always looks crap, the way people draw such references
>>7438309>Repulsive
>>7438329>Attractive
>>7438377You are a sick man who will eventually hurt a child. Best to end yourself now and stop your future crimes.
>>7438374you just need the box to see where each part of the pelvis is facing
>>7438379You are a healthy man who will eventually help a child. Best to continue yourself now and keep your future virtues.
>>7438382>you just need the boxultra crab
>>7438382How to draw these fucking boxes and insert them into shapes? Come on, show me where the box is in this pelvis and where those fucking invisible lines are, my result is crap, but it’s better than the previous ones
>>7437776steve huston workflow and some bridgman notes make the most sense to me.
>>7438398nta but focus on the iliac crest is the only box like part, for the buttocks there is the butterfly motif
>>7438381bro drawings don't hurt anyone
>>7438402>InvertedHank Hill ass
>>7438404yes they do! drawings took everything away from me on that dark dark day...
>>7438404I'm got gonna continue this boring ass discussion that's been had a thousand times already past this reply, but what you draw stems from your inner motivations and desires. This guy is drawing sexualized children because he's a pedophile. If given the chance he WILL commit this horrendous crime, the only reason you defend him is because you too carry this mental sickness.
okay freud
>>7438414going by this logic we should be double-tapping anyone that signs up to be catholic because that's what the statistics will show
Stop bitching at each other and pyw
How do I add hair to my loomis potatoes...? That's a ton of head to erase and it's scary...
>>7438417Actually the statistics show that public school teachers and rabbis are higher per capita.
>>7438420if you can draw something you shouldn't be scared of ersaing it, do 1000 more loomis heads until you become more confident
>>7438417Public schools have many more mollestations if you want to go by per capita statistics. That being said I despise the Catholic church too.
>>7438104dynamic.A cool way to practice gesture
>>7438422Ah someone already said it. I see you're well aware, anon.
>Get extremely terrified I'm doing something wrong while copying/referencing/etc and fixing said copying>Eventually get frustrated and say fuck it and draw it intuitively>Looks way better every timeHow does this work...?
>>7438414did you know that people who were sexually abused as children frequently use fictional content to cope with the damage being sexually abused did to their sexuality
>>7438432pyw
>>7437791Why would I redline something I like?
>>7438414let's also add that anyone who draws a nude woman is confirmed rapist if your logic was to be consistent
>>7438433I do know that they often go on to victimize more children during adulthood. Very few are able to break the cycle.>>7438444Sex with an adult woman is the healthy and natural, it does not at all relate to victimizing children. One is a natural force of life in its proper context, the other is utter corruption of what is natural, turned into something sordid and evil. Now shut the fuck up about this, you pedophile cunt.
>>7438450raping grown women is not normal. you are sick in the head.
>>7438450do you really think the tens of thousands of women writing shota rape porn on AO3 are actually molesting children in real life
>>7438309God I fucking hate you so much for saying this retarded shit and derailed the thread, go overcompensate somewhere else please or at least post your work.
I want to draw this bitch but im having trouble imagining the hip Bones and fémur locations in this pose. Could anyone attempt to position them crudelly over the image at left?
Is there a discord or something? (that isn't just a goon fest)I sort of want to have art frens...Ok fine I was lying I want friends in general
>>7438519oh I want art friends too
>>7438524If only there was some way to solve this. Eh it's too hard, I give up.
>>7438519>(that isn't just a goon fest)That's the ultimate problem ain't it. Besides, artists are very petty and annoying in general, specially us. I don't think it'd work out too well. Guarantee it'd be a mess, mods abusing power over people they don't like, guys fighting pedos constantly, artists getting jealous over talent and so on
>>7438508Small head i think
>>7436815>Drawing looks better with the sketch layer visibleWhat in the fuck.Anyways I'm still on the quest of being able to make cute girls. I wanted to make a more detailed lips but it's extremely difficult. Every attempt looked gross or dorky, not appealing at all!
Well, I'm done. I like the one without lineart better, cause it's too scrathy imo. But I'm concerned it doesn't read as well as with the lineartAlso, I've drawn over 100 hours in a little under a month now. Not a lot overall, but a nice milestone to hit anyway.>>7437370The idea was that he sits on his own, and the spear just keeps him upright. Now I wish I explored the concept a bit more though, cause being hoisted up by it sounds badass as well.
>>7438519Asg has one
>>7438550yeah, that's just how it works before you get good at painting.Sorry bro.
>>7437280Made another one, drawing everything upside down was a huge challenge.
>>7438550hmmm I don't know how valuable my advice is since I clearly have problems like being bad at proportional symmetry, but my trick to lips is by using the lines to explain them. If they're big and joociey and then they actually will occlude the face behind them making a line.The closer they are together then the thinner to line, usually they're darkest near the ends.
>>7438580 (cont.)here are three different mouths I drew using a pixel brush.
>>7438589What an absolute fucking psychopath

>>7438610nice
Todays drawing payment. No need to crush my kneecaps yet.
>>7438610very cute design
>>7438610Aside from being hot as fuck, this is just awesome work anon. I love the linework. I gotta ask, any special technique you could share, or is it just doing it over and over again until it's this clean?
Quick sketch from a random idea a friend had
>>7438615honestly not even that bad, just seems like it doesn't match your character. Check out this reference I use for my joociey lips reference.
>>7438620Here is a speeddraw of another drawing of mine.After I lay down the rough shading/colors, I just paint ontop of the lineart. No blending modes or clipping masks, just free hand. Gives it a slightly more painterly look. Where I don't paint over the lineart I use a clipping mask to color it a bit because I don't like black lineart.Don't think it's that special of a method to be honest
>>7438543Integrating yellow light. Tomorrow i Will attempt the clothed one
>>7438610i like the neopet style head
>>7438635Ah it's you, kek. Love your style, I think I mentioned it before. Thanks for the tip, yeah, I tried to do the coloring freehand before, but I was really bad at staying in the lines so it just got messy. Doing it near the end where the big stuff is already there makes a lot of sense I think I'm gonna try that. >I don't like black lineartHonestly, I think I'm the same. Kept it black here >>7438560 but colored it here >>7433210 and I really prefer that one in when comparing them now.
>>7438635>>7438620I now realise you probably meant only the lineart. Having references in form of other art with lineart you like helps. Just try to make it similar. Other than that it's just doing it over and over again
>>7436815Trying out a smaller brush size. I can add a lot more details this way.
>>7438655I did, but I appreciate the insight into the overall process as well
>>7438652really looks better. I feel like pure black lineart detaches characters too much from the background, even in a white void. Also, coloring it a bit make's it easier on the eyes for me.
it's all about colors and rendering, no matter how good your lineart is
>>7438672>no colors>no renderinghorrible trash
>Bought gaouche>Bought ink and pen>Bought oil pastels>terrible with it allI have more money than sense anons, its all so tiring. I feel incapable of mixing colors.
>>7438698
>>7438698Pros swear by this book
I drew rocks. I will now draw more. Good luck to you all.
>>7438699I have some finesse with pencils its just anything outside of that is magic>>7438700Thanks anon Ill have to look into it.
>>7438703how can we be sure thats not a sultan enjoying sunrise
>>7438706I actually like it more that way, thank you for pointing that out.
>>7437969love itI also like how the colors look almost like markers.
>>7437085attempts made. Didn't have the time to color it.
i am sisyphus
>>7438332Thank you very much, very kind.
You rike?
tried some structuring. shit feels really redundant, I feel like I draw way better without it
you guys know if getting a standalone tablet for drawing is worth it?I don't like it when people walk in on me drawing, it's honestly an intimate moment where I feel insecure, so usually I only draw when I know no one will be around.It's easy to watch anime though cause I can just close my computer when someone comes in.right now my set up are some plastic tub containers in front of my futon which hold my laptop and wacom drawing tablet.>>7438763wait this style looks super familair, I can't think of where I seen something liek this before.
Heads. I fucked up the third one.
>>7438780I think you have some serious privacy issues if that's a concern for you. Why are people walking on by you without warning? A dedicated screen tablet would probably draw their attention more.
>>7438450You must go back.
>>7438417Weird how the job or religious denomination takes precedence over sexuality, in sex based crimes. Why rather Catholics when you can target openly gay men and 100x your efficiency at removing pedophiles?
>>7438784my brother went to some fancy school and so we had to sell the house to afford it, and as the NEET of the family I of course had to be ok with it. So now I live in a laundry room.My mom said she'd get me an apartment if I went back to graduate school... but I honestly hate school a lot. I'm just not passionate about my field. And I have a really dangerous personally for myself, basically I'll agree to do almost anything people ask me even at my own detriment. 4chan is one of the few places I feel like a real person.But yeah basically I need a set up that I can use while laying on the futon (it's just a couch) that I can hide what I'm doing. Honestly I'm not even a sick pervert anymore so I don't even draw that much porn. I just don't like bullshit like "hey watcha doing? what you up to? let me see what you got there? hey are you drawing something?"If they find out I'm into art they're just going to ruin it.Also you might be wondering how I have 1k in savings as a NEET, well basically I worked at a store for a month one time. But then I did something embarrassing and refuse to even go back as a customer. No I'm not going to say what happened.
>>7438789Its useless to argue with these pedophile maggots. They'll say anything and try any manipulation to try and justify their degeneracy, you're trying to reason with something that is lower than an animal.
>>7438800Sounds like Hell. You need to start exercising man. You're probably on a soul-killing amount of meds too.
>>7438780>you guys know if getting a standalone tablet for drawing is worth it?the only real advantage is portability and mobility combined with it being a screen tablet. It is a standalone computer after all. I'd say it's worth it if you travel alot and still wanna do digital on a screen tablet or are just unable to draw in a fixed setup because you just have to laze arround on various furniture pieces because you can't draw otherwise.>>7438800>selling the housesounds fucking retarded
>>7438804Well no I'm not on any medication except the occasional Tylenol. I don't actually have medical insurance because I'm not in school anymore. I was thinking about enrolling for a bit just to get a check up.As for exercise, sometimes I go and take the dog on a walk, but if I do it too much people will think I'm capable of doing it all the time. When sometimes I don't want to be "the dog guy">>7438805>sounds fucking retardedwell when it was explained to me they said something like "do you have x amount of dollars? do you have any better ideas anon?"Honestly, their idea of putting half their equity into bitcoin wasn't the worst idea I ever heard. I just worry their money is going to turn to vapor. Money is a social contract it's no real, putting it into a pseudo material form like bitcoin could be dangerous. Like if you put it into gold and buried it and a dog dug it up and stole it, or worse since technology is spooky scary. Then again I'm not really a smart or savvy guy.>unable to draw in a fixed setup because you just have to laze arround on various furniture pieces because you can't draw otherwise.yeah that kind of sounds like my situation. I live on a couch
>>7438763sexmissing ears thoughlbeit
>>7438812Starting to sound quite parasitic. Its your life though.
>>7438812>yeah that kind of sounds like my situation. I live on a couchnot what i meant, I'm talking about someone who isn't comfortable sitting at a desk. In your case you could get a table f.e. as well
Turms out my Talent was in music and not in drawing after all. Weird how things can turn out.https://youtu.be/DZiaXEIQgkE?t=178
>>7438800Come one anon, tell us the story. You seem to come from a wealthy family, you should take advantage of this however it's possible. why not pursue an easy degree to get your own place? You could even pursue an art degree considering you don't really have to worry about job prospects.
>>7438816Well I wanted to go and become a professional chef when I was young but they wanted a scholar. So each side doesn't complain, at least not seriously. Now I'm older and I don't really have any aspirations... there's a whole sad story about it, but I don't feel like blog posting any more. I just wanted some recommendations.I'm really against the idea of getting any kinds of apple products (not that I worship microshit), I have become quite comfortable with krita. and when I think apple I don't think quality I think overpriced.>>7438824a table f.e.?>>7438826Fine.No we're not wealthy, but my mom is like an inhuman worker who was able to elevate us a lot. She expects the same kind of demonic work ethic from me. She doesn't realize that when she was working all day I was being raised by the internetz. It's a funny story how I happened upon 4chan, but I digress. When I was a kid I remember we used to sleep on foam. Weirdly I'm less happy now than then. She has a PhD and is obsessed with status, her plan for me was to be a scholar too. She's remarried twice, I don't really think much about it. When men drag her down she ditches them, that's basically it, just glad she has abandoned me yet.Here's the embarrassing story. Basically there was no such thing as allowance in my house so I got a job at the store when I was old enough and one day when I was cleaning to floors my pants broke open, not just my pants but my underpants too and everyone including my work crush saw my whole deal and so I went home in shame and never ever went back. Btw it's not funny this traumatized me.>why not pursue an easy degree to get your own place?actually I already have a degree, but it's useless without graduate education. I really didn't enjoy college.Uhhh btw do you guys have any standalone tablet recommendations for art? no one said anything yet.
selfportrait i did in magma with my frens
>>7438837Sorry, I draw on a screenless one, have no idea about standalone tablets. Maybe ask around the drawing tablet general? They are a lot more autistic about hardware.>>7438813I knew something was missing lol seems like I forget what a human looks like.

today's drawing :D feels like in these threads recently there's an argument going on more often than not. it's a little sad but i hope everyone who's drawing is doing well>>7438610nice (esp the gauntlets)>>7438635really cool to see the process for this piece!! your technique seems a lot more convenient than mine so i might try it a bit
>>7438865Based Gundam enjoyer. Nice work man. As for the arguments, they are annoying, but I get why people get pissed at shota/loli fags.
>>7438870thanks!! i'm starting ZZ soon so hopefully i'll be able to post more gundam stuff.and yea, i agree and i understand why too, just can't see the point to having the exact same argument under every thread

ass completed
I lose like 30 levels if I don't use reference for figures
>>7439177You do not lose what you do not have
This is unbearable
>>7439221Enough drawing random boxes then, draw boxes in the shape of a person. One box for the rib cage, one for the pelvis and turbes to form the limbs. Don't waste too much time on pointless boxes in a void, they have to be in relation to something so your brain registers what objects are supposed to look like.
>>7437969ty, it's just a round brush with pressure and a noise layer. I don't like how slippery digital looks without textures.
>>7439256>>7438739replied to wrong post
>>7439251I went back to boxes because I suck at drawing boxy people, I also tried drawing a diaphragm-egg torso in perspective and it was terrible, I just want to understand perspective for people, at least boxy ones
>>7439268Even if its bad, see what are the most glaring mistakes and correct them in the next one. Don't regress or fall for the box meme. You will not improve by drawing boxes over and over. If you want, you can post your attempts at people here and we will advise on ways to improve.
>>7438771The axe is a bit long and the left arm would use a better angle.Otherwise pretty decent anon.
practicing Loomis method
Grinding perspective has been fucking melting my brain. I've stepped up from simple to more complex forms I walk away from the study sessions absolutely mentally drained. I've been dissecting motorcycle photos and trying to recreate them. I start with a large simple form to know where my vanishing points are, but once I get into the actual refining of the primitive forms, it's like my brain becomes retarded and forgets about the vanishing points I defined for myself. The upside is that I can feel my understanding of perspective actually getting better, the downside is I fucking hate my life when doing it
trying to apply practice
>>7439317Perhpas using thicker brush would help.
>>7439304instead of a photo which will probably will be edited and distorted, use illustrations from old ads campaings from indiana or harley davidson. chatgpt is useful for this type of queries some artist that have motorcycle illustratons: Van Kaufman, Norman Rockwell, rudolph belarski, Coby Whitmore, tom lovelltom lovell is an amazing artist worth checking out
>>7439321I think maybe studying on paper would be easier, too.
>>7439360Digital and traditional are very different, if you learn to draw on paper it'll take a long while for you to get used to digital. There's also the issue of not being able to instantly redo things whenever you want.
>>7439365sadly i already know "how to draw" traditionally, i am just ridiculously bad at construction so i'm already in that hole
>>7439338I like the challenge of the distortion though as a lot of the art I admire makes use of dynamic perspective. I do think motorcycles are rad af so I'll use your advice for studies focused on learning motorcycles.
>>7439372Same here.
Got my painting framed, shit was fucking expensive. Got all the premium stuff but 120eu is pretty steep. Will do it my self next time... Thanks for the help along the way bros
>>7439446>that nailITS A WOMAN GUYS
>>7439463Typical woman attention whoring. They even included their onlyfans handle as the picture description. What's next? A painting they made with their vagina? The world is unfair!
>>7439463The value of that painting just went up 500 dollars. Ack! Quick get this on reddit, they'll have 50,000 updoots and multiple simps asking if she needs figure study models
>>7439446Ma'am I'd like to purchase this fine piece of art for 1000 neetbux
>>7439463That's the woman that framed the painting retard
>>7439463Don't worry, your virginity is safe here
>>7439276Maybe, but normal figures require normal boxes
>>7439512Its time to stat turning those into fully realized drawings dude. You're wasting your mental energy if you don't try.
>>7439512how tf am i supposed to draw body with boxes
>>7439533The boxes are only useful so you keep track of the orientation of the torso and other body parts. Like if the ribs are pointed one way and the pelvis isn't aligned with it.

>>7439560ugly face
Is there any point for me to struggle with getting straight lines when I'm trying to learn to draw as a digital artist or can I just turn on post correction?Is everyone secretly using it or what?
new thread soon?
>>7439571Most people don't use anything but raw tablet input. Just don't worry about it, it'll get easier to do on it's own.
>>7439560Dios miola goblina...
>>7439572We on page 5 nigga. Just post something you've drawn, mine have been complete trash these past week. Irl troubles kill my creativity
browsing /ic/ instead of drawing
>trying to learn on paper>using 0.7 gel pens since it's what I have around>a few months in, getting accurate enough with my lines that I can feel the limitations of the bigger pen for drawing subtle details>don't want to draw huge and waste a ton of paper, so I buy some thinner pens>day 1, everything going well, experimenting with clothing folds and eye details that I couldn't fit before>day 3, figures have shrunk down to the size of my thumb and I'm back where I startedHelp

>>7439598you draw small because you simply don't have enough knowledge of the details, your brain defaults to smaller sizes because it becomes easier to fill the gapsin lowres a leg is basically a cylinder, but if you draw big this simply is not true, you are forced to draw all those bumps, bones and muscles if you don't want to end up with a very stylized drawingif this is not the case and you are just autistic
>>7439631quality > quantity
>>7439560>>7439616Would it kill you to make the nose just a tiny bit smaller?
>>7439649I think it's fine
>>7439639is this really the case tho
next threads challenge in advance. RIP
>>7439655It really isn't. Looks hideous. Its one thing to make ugly things due to lack of skill, but entirely another to willingly refuse to improve.

>>7439673I like the big nose though
>>7439691My condolences for your terrible taste.
>>7439637I think I just hate the idea of using extra paper every time in case I want to add details when 95% of what I attempt is an unsalvageable waste of space on a fundamental level. Probably what I actually need to do is get consistent enough to scale up the little drawings I like without inevitably fucking up some key part somewhere.
I can't tell if I like these two drawings + I HATE drawing clothesAnd I like the first 200x more, but that's maybe because I did a more "fun" angle
Thing from scifi horror story. Pathogen keeps people alive to function as "neural nodes" for the growth.
>>7439708Any consistent issues you notice? With the coloring/anatomy/anything?
>>7439708That angle is so insanely annoying, holy shit.
>>7439708>>7439713Yeah I can see a consistent issue alright
>>7439715Kek
>>7439691I'm occasionally partial to some big schnozers myself, but that is egregious. If you want it big it should stick out more, not cover more of her face. Right now it looks like it takes up about half her head.

>>7439714annoying to do or annoying to look at? (asking because if this is a critique on my framing id appreciate some elaboration)
>>7439732Annoying to look at. Probably just a hang up of mine though, I HATE fish eye lens affect or having things shoved into POV's face. Even when use for comedic purposes its usually annoying, with few exceptions. Also WHY did you draw these two images?
>>7439750Okay good to know was just wondering if you thought HOW I did the angle was wrong or something.And I drew those two images because they are "ocs" of mine (realistically it's a self-insert + a collective of people I know)So I just wanted to have more sfw drawings of them that weren't just static shoulders-up b&w's (picrel) / ref sheets

>>7439720You should stick with a brush with no size jitter for now, you can't control it
>>7439756And the Lord said:>
>>7439784Okay you got me thereAlso tips on how to make the bodies I draw not grossly thin? My issue is while I'm drawing, I think it looks too fat, but then they end up looking like bobble heads/weirdly tall>>7439793I mean Tatti issues does that to you but at least I'll never like men younger than me!
>>7439798By size jitter you mean pressure based size? True, I can't control it yet. Doesn't really make sense to me that I shouldn't use it though. How else would I get better at it?
>>7439780>>7439805Holy ganoli. You're so demonic. Thats the only word that fits this.
>>7439572yeah I'm thinking it's about time for new thread, no need to wait for page 10 this time, no?
>>7439817A new one would clear away this gross vibe if nothing else. We got some downright disgusting niggas posting.
>>7439823you read between my lines perfectly
>>7439808Yeah you're done.
>>7439827Thanks for your input I guess.
>>7439829NTA, I think you should stick with brushes that very size w/ pressure, you'll get the hang of it eventually, but at first you'll have to make an effort to focus on it.
>>7439833> but at first you'll have to make an effort to focus on it.True. I only really focus on it when doing lineart, and even then it's not all that good yet. When just doing sketches I try to keep it in mind, but not enough apparently, cause I forget sometime. I'll try my best to focus on it more and not just during lineart, since it's the issue that got called out.Thanks anon
>>7439712Not so sure about the color choice there but sounds disturbing. Didn't you post something like that the other day?
Made another chicken
>>7439871Big legs, me approve
>>7437071decided to change things, will finish in next thread>>7437585Shift your focus to proportions and placing things where they need to be. Figure drawing is already very complicated, I think most begs would benefit from drawing an accurate still life to learn how to make proportional observations and record them onto paper. Doing a couple of Bargue plates that only have lines can help too. That way you can mostly focus on placement and less so value rendering, saves you some time too. Plenty of videos on youtube on how to do a Bargue plate study too.
Page 7. yep it's time
>>7439932no, wait until page 9
>>7439941why contain it. people are clearly waiting for new thread
>>7439943they can do some drawing while they wait.
Hello beg, today was a very bad day. It is over.
pawell posting his piece means the thread is over and we're ready for new one
>>7439945>he doesn't like the bad orangngmi
>>7437233never enough time
>>7439943You can always just make a thread yourself anon, nobody's gonna judge you
>>7440008So long as he makes sure to pick the coolest pics from this one
>>7440004Its gonna look great. Keep it up anon.
>>7440008>>7440009I might be impatient, but I'm still patient enough to let someone else make the thread. I don't know how to make the OP pics
>>7440012Thank you kind anon.I'll rework the sketch tomorrow and try some proper coloring.
Just a quick 3 hour sketch of my take on a realistic luffyWhat do you think ?
>>7440045LMAO that is just Pedro Infante.
>>7440045>realistic luffyThats really funny. Really well drawn man.
Until the next thread>>7440045I think it's nicely done
>>7440045Do you do portrait commissions?
>>7438995Would anyone be kind enough to tell me why this looks so damn flat?
>>7439945a day like any other
I decided to just stick with my gaomon tablet.I can't justify getting something new unless I get a job.Also I really don't understand perspective.Am I retarded that it's not a natural concept to me?
>>7440045shaved forsen
>>7440045The ear looks like a slice of meat
>>7440065The perspective of the bow makes no sense and distracts from the rest of the pic, also her face seems off, generally you should start with simple shapes and figure out where the eyes etc should go before you draw them. Some people can get away with drawing faces from nothing but you're not at that level yet
>>7440079My gaomon pen broke, be careful with those. They're very fragile. Perspective comes naturally for some people but not for others. I have a friend who is way less skilled than me at drawing people, but he's a wiz when it comes to buildings and perspective.
>>7440056nah he stopped doing portrait commissions in 1907
Name (and crit) my heads, dudes
>>7440088well fuck
>>7440103small ears
>>7440103The guy with the ear gauges, his name should be Gage.And the mustache guy should be Ristache.They all have a lot of personality, I like how their proportions are stylized to define their personalities.I would like to see with but in a more dynamic way, it's all very flat.
>>7440129noted!>>7440132>I would like to see with but in a more dynamic way, it's all very flatunderstandable, I was just fooling around practicing with pic related
>>7440045If Luffy stretched his cock like, 18 feet out, could he still pee? Is the bladder strong enough to push piss that far or would his dicker tube get full and then just blow like a ruptured piss pipeline when he lets it snap back?
>>7439908nice drawing and thanks for the advice, i've definitely skipped practicing my proportion and placement as much I should. I've heard good things about doing bargue plates so might as well give it a try
>>7440163Depends. Cartoon luffy could do it fine. Realistic luffy would get like a hernia
>>7439756hello eebus. Thinking about piocking up the pencil again?

>>7438336Where can I masturbate to more of your cute and funny girls?
>>7440092finally somebody gets it
>>7440213Thanks for this anon! Seeing more advanced anons take on my drawings is a very effective way on seeing what I can improve on. Also I appreciate you understood perfectly the appeal I was going for with that girl, you are a scholar.
>>7438336b-blog?
tried conveying something with monstrous scaledidn't work as well as it did in my head sadly
>>7440254i was tired of drawing boxes and scale, so i tried drawing something human-esquesay hello to the mutant wizard
P-please help I cant draw faces!!!!!
>>7440289
>>7440296>>7438995p-p-p-p-please no bully!
>>7440297its a good start, but you should really learn the landmarks to place your guiding lines first, so your faces don't look flat. I suggest you start by learning heads first then moving on to torso, avoid trying to do all at once.
>>7440308*sigh*Grinding asarao heads I guess
>>7440312dont just mindlessly draw. first study the landmarks of the head, looks complicated but its really easy,The face is divided into thirds, check out how the top third is the hari line and the brow line, the second third is the brow line and the base of the nose (which also aligns with the ears) and the base of the nose aligns with the base of he ears, and then the last third is the chin, divide that into half and you can place the mouth, also think of the head not as a circle but as a sphere, when you build your head, be sure to slice the sides to know where the face planes separate.
I am just that bad. huh? I am never making it out of permaprebeg
I hate the feel of the standard brushes in krita for sketching and I don't know how to fix this, fuckMeans I just keep drawing on paper but I wanna draw digitally
>>7440328lower the flow, feels pretty good for sketching, adjust the pressure curves to your preferencesor try some of the pencil/charcoal sketching brushes, some of the best of all digital softwarehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6_K_Fb-rYshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlDNC1P0We0
>>7440308>>7440317Just trace over 3d models like every single pro does.
>>7440213I wish I was as good as you are, this is one of the best things I seen so far
>>7440337Eh, It doesn't really work.Professional artists know the fundamentals and use 3d models to quickly build on top. Tracing 3d models is very, very noticeable if you dont know how the body works.
>>7440333Best book or video to get started on krita, anon? Especially for someone who transitioned from traditional to digital.
>>7440382nah been doing it for years nobody ever noticed
>>7440412No you don't
>>7440413yes i do tho, i have a lot of head models cuz cba to learn how to position the eyes
i don't like to color T_T
>>7440418post work then.
>>7440425heres all the models
>>7440433What model is that?
>>7440437idk there are several, you can look in /dbag/ , 3d asset section. has a lot of heads
>>7440409This one actually explains all the basics for a complete beginner to digital. Kind of long because it explains a lot of stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbNQmE6WPK0Once you're comfortable with Krita, David Revoy has some good workflow videos (and his brushes are good too).Wesley Gardner has a book if you prefer. It's okay. A bit technical but it can't be helped because digital is pretty technical. You can DL it on libgen, annas-archive etc.
>>7440254I like the moss and ripples in the water. >>7440257Pretty dynamic. How long have you been drawing for?
no ref and turned out better than i thought it would. i messed up the hands had to white them out, turns out you cant draw on white out either.
>>7440317NTA but still, gif rel
Tried sitting a good distance away from the ref to simulate drawing from life and man it was harder than I thought. Took some creative liberties and managed to salvage something.
I think I'm finally starting to understand using guidelines
>>7439708I wasn't ready for kawaii hasidic nathan fielder.
weichun
>>7440317>>7440308I am never making it out of prebeg
A couple years in and I am still prebeg with other anons MakingIt in that timeframe.What if I just wasnt born for art but I still want to draw?I cant grasp 3d and heads and everything I draw is ugly shit that nobody likes.Being called a beginner and that I am just starting after all this time just makes me want to scream because I HAVEN LEARNT SHIT.FOREVER WORSE THAN BEG. CURSED BY GOD.
>>7440577Who gives a fuck. If you like drawing then draw.
>>7440579But I dont want to be like those autists that used to curse the internet with foever pumping out ugly shit over and overI WANT TO BE GOOD. I WANT TO FUCKING IMPROVE BUT I CANT.I AM TIRED OF SEEING OTHERS SURPASS ME.I TRY AND TRY AND JUST KEEP STUCK BEFORE THE FUCKING STARTING LINE WHILE OTHERS RUN LAPS AROUND ME.
>>7440582Do you think those autists care what you think? No. The only different between an artist and an artist is U.
>>7440577>>7440582Post work and we can tell you where to improve
>>7440577Get a mentor. If it has truly been years and you haven't improved then maybe you need someone yelling in your ear.t. got a mentor
trying to apply
>>7440596Why don't you use a light gray background? That stark white hurts the eyes.
I love drawing edgy shit(this is a trap not a loli before anyone says shit https://disgaea.fandom.com/wiki/Clergy)
>>7440577damn u are good
>>7440598good idea. I tend to always draw with my brightness low so I don't notice as much
>>7440599Are sadists really any better than pedos? Should they be allowed to live? Moralfags call now and let us know
>>7440599>this child is not a girl therefore im not a pedo????
>>7440609Sadists come in many degrees. For instance, I love slapping my girls ass until she bruises.
>>7440611I mean, most women ask for that. My instinct tells me that violence in sex is a sign of unhealthy minds tho. From the slightly questionable(yet normalized) spanking(which also has some strange age regression kink for women I think) to the more concerning choking, and then to something way worse. Humans sure are fucked in the head.
>>7440599Your art is so good>>7440609i just want to watch a fat guy rape elves dude its not the same
>>7440609>sadistno, that's icky. what I drew is self-inflicted.I want to be the bleeding femboy>>7440610nothing in the image implies that it's a child>>7440616thank you! :3
>>7440615I'm not gonna psychoanalyze people for kinks or what have you if they're capable of making distinctions and setting boundaries between sexual play and day to day. I think there is an element of truth to people being fucked up and it manifesting in play, but there's a world of difference between consenting adults and domestic violence.
>>7440616Human depravity is like a metaphysical substance. It permeates the soul like a corrupting poison. Nigga I think I'm going schizo as we speak. Either that or my mind's downloading cool trvths from the higher plane kek
>>7440622Be careful anon, jacking off is a sin. Matter of fact, being attracted to women is a sin. Just become asexual.
>>7440623Shut the fuck up, moron.
>>7440615Maybe it's different for zoomers but it's a bit much to say most women ask for that kind of thing.Regardless, I agree with the anon that says it comes in degrees. If you take the worst case then they're both potentially as bad as each other but if you take a mild case of both, it becomes harder to defend the pedophile. I can tolerate a pedo if they're committed to overcoming their nature but lolicons are kinda different. They tend to just be depraved for the sake of it.
We really need a fresh bread
>>7440624ur comment is depraved to me.
>>7440627WE HAD IT SO GOOD BROS
>>7440622only if you let yourself be lower than animals. simply learn compartmentalization and learn that your soul cannot be corrupted by outside forces if you don't allow them to penetrate it, it is entirely on your whim. if you choose to give into the corruption, than that is your decision, your will. pornography does not inherently corrupt, the weakness of your spirit allows it to corrupt. if you are malleable, you must become less malleable. what are you, a moth? drawn to a flame? can't you view the flame from a distance with your human eyes? or will you let the tendrils of depravity wrap their way around your heart and eat you from the inside out
I'm just confused and frustrated.So I started out with that book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", or well, I did that exercise where I turned some lineart upside down and basically freehand traced it. My hand got more stable after a week or so but I got tired of it, and it quickly got worse again. Pic related is my peak. Also, the book asks you to get a bunch of weird supplies which turned me off from following it completely.I did also try to draw a bit from life of objects, but I quickly got frustrated. I know I'm supposed to just continue, but fuck. Should I just start copying lineart I like again until I feel ready to do all the cube exercises and all that?
>>7440577PYW chances are you are not prebeg and just a whiny bitch frustrated you are not pro tier in just couple years
>>7440456>I like the moss and ripples in the water.Thanks!>Pretty dynamic. How long have you been drawing for?I've drawing to become a good artist for about a week and some change now.Before that, I mainly doodled /prebeg/ stickmen, boxes, and explosions maybe once every month when I was bored.End goal is to draw mecha well
