doodling without references out of my head just to see where it goes
>>7440712This was the best you came up with?
Self taught and really not sure what to improve next
I spent 200 points to browse this site. I'm thinking I should have just jacked off.
>>7440723What the fuck is this anon
>>7440719I don't normally make it but it was overdue. I'm sure you'll do a great job on the next one.
>>7440723What the fuck is that
>>7440723Zoomer brains are shrekt and I'm tired of pretending they're human beings
Thread challenge
>>7440726It's an app I've been using for my new years resolution
>>7440735What does that app do
>>7440723Holy managing your own life
>>7440736Chastity cage for a tard brain
real thread challenge
>>7440735How many good boy points does it take to kill yourself?
>>7440723I am master of my own downfall. I don't needs apps for that
>>7440736You set tasks for yourself. You get rewarded with points for completing them. I figured I'd give it a try since I heard gamifying is a good way of encouraging habits. It's been working pretty well. I started with 3 tasks, have worked my way up to 5 and have drawn every day since the new year started.
>>7440742I would've said something but if it works, it works.
>>7440742Damn. I envy your motivation
>>7440712What a shite OP image.
>>7440742Damn this nigga up early
Bonus thread challenge for the daring
technically drew this last night but didn't want to post twice in last thread>>7440742i have a similar system in my notes app, i can agree it's v good esp for things you don't "have to" do but want to
>>7440745It isn't lost on me how retarded it is, but it has been working. The goal is to do this for 90 days to address my weak areas in draftsmanship then switch it to refining texture, color and composition. I'm not gonna jinx anything since this is the longest I've gone even when I fucking hate my life doing it. This is a screenshot of one of the studies I was proud of. I usually just delete them after but this was good. Anyways break is up, gl anon
>>7440755The fact that you thought it was retarded (which I would also think), but still decided to try it anyway and ended up benefiting from it is really cool I think. Keep it up and good luck.
>>7440723>literal good boy pointsWhatever is wrong with you, that app won't fix it m8
Good evening, I guess this is finished now>>7440717I really like the way you do sketches, very expressive>>7440754Nice colors, also I don't think anyone minds if you post more than once as long as you don't spam the same image over and over again>>7440755Just do whatever works for you, anon, who cares if it's a bit autistic
>>7440715I needed this. Thanks anon. Is there a source for it?
>>7440762cute drow! i never color but the elf guy in most of my work is actually a drow, and so is this girl.
>Start drawing>Get something that I actually like/make landmark progress (In this case, eyes that don't look like dogshit together)>Absolutely terrified of adding anything to them or altering it furtherWhat's the best way to get over this? It's especially rough because altering things that have been "good enough" with some things that could be fixed has invariably resulted in me screwing the whole thing up.
>>7440753I relate to this animalI lost my ink pen and had to use a ballpointDid my best, knowing nothing about proportion or anatomy.
I'm looking for advice on using construction to get the right shape and proportion, or I guess building intuition for the right proportions. I'll often try to draw a character from reference, discover the head or something is way out of proportion, abandon my original construction and spend hours obsessively erasing and redrawing the same lines to try and match my reference. Do I just draw/copy more, or is there some more nuanced approach I'm missing?
>>7440766Thank you anon, good to see a fellow elf enjoyer
>>7440722I'd say focus on improving faces. They aren't bad, in fact I really like the eyes on their own. But you've reached a point where the wonky face anatomy becomes really noticable and takes away from the rest. I'd say you particularely struggle with placing both eyes correctly if you want to be even more specific.Nice work otherwise, gmi.>>7440771Make a copy of that state and work on that. If trad, make a photo and keep working on the original I guess. Honestly, unless something is a finished piece, I don't see the point in fretting over "ruining" something. You're gonna forget you drew it a few weeks later anyway and probably be able to do it better at that point.But also, don't try to spend a lot of time fixing stuff after you feel you are done. If it's something you know how to fix, do it, if you are just trying stuff, do it again and try it there.>>7440776Same advice here. Try to do it again, instead of trying to fix it from time to time. You don't need to always abandon ship, but trying again is much more beneficial in my experience.
>>7440776No answer, but I have this issue, too. It's especially bad when the construction isn't SO bad, but you try and fix it anyhow, and it winds up making it way worse. Would love a solution, as well.
>>7440779>Same advice here. Try to do it again, instead of trying to fix it from time to time. You don't need to always abandon ship, but trying again is much more beneficial in my experience.This. No amount of constructive thinking in the world is enough to save a piece that has an error embedded deep or early in its creation.
Did portrait for a friend, something strongly outside of my comfort zone.I have trouble with edges, planes and values but this one turned out pretty ok i guess.
>>7440784Is her neck that long irl?Anyway, looks like a proompt
>>7440723How many goodboy points is tendies?
Another piece of shit I won't finish.
My first painted portrait study. If you squint it looks close enough. But there's no real details and the face is too bright.
>>7440795Why won't you finish it?
>draw fetish>it's addictiveok now drawing is ruined and associated with cooming
>>7440786i made collarbone too low so it appears longer.>Anyway, looks like a proomptmeh, like what i can do about it.
>>7440800No, that's good! That means you'll actually practice and improve instead of whining here.
>>7440800What fetish is it
Don't think I entirely like the way this head looks, could I get a second opinion please?
>Start doing art>Do something right>So excited to do something right again that I go full retard mode and rush into stuff I can't do yet too instead of staying in patient learning modeHow do I stop this?
What do you think? I redrew the face, neck and arms, I have doubts about the hand
>>7440812Gotta have a bit more torso detail to say for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's in the neck.
>>74407931000 or one weekend "piece". Check dis motorcycle out. I just learned that people who do constructed vehicles don't just add lines to make it look cool. They're to hint at vanishing points and level things. Perspective finally making sense
>>7440799Because my own lack of skill and incapacity to focus for more than 30 minutes pisses me off.
>>7440723/ic/ should be WAY more. I dunno about you, but every time I'm motivated to draw and come here, my mood quickly deteriorates.
>>7440753Cool ape evolve, make fire
>>7440820https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RSRgUkLBXY
The dotted lines are just illustrating the imaginary back part for people who might need help placing it in space, right? They're not something you have to add?
>>7440822it actually motivates me to come here, do why
>>7440829Actually, is this okay? I feel like it's a bit asymmetrical with the solid vertical curve on the bottom of the dotted one...Also, MAN. He shouldn't use perfect circles for this, he was doing so good. Makes me a little upset.
>>7440834Fuck, I hate 4chan. When are they gonna fix phone image orientation?
>>7440832...What?
Hey, Peter Han anon here.Bones.
Back to the "fun"
>>7440838*Dk why sorry can't type wellLike coming here makes me draw more idk whyIt doesn't make me feel unmotivated at allIf anything it makes me draw
>>7440753monkey ~1h15Cool challenge
I also recorded a short video of the process
>>7440842Show off your character drawings
>>7440846How odd. I guess different strokes for different folks! Personally, being exposed to oceans of different pieces of advice that're all fundamentally incompatible with each other is really stressful. Sucks the motivation away like crazy.
>>7440842>>7440852So uh. What's the point in doing this? You are not drawing the shapes accurately, so how does this benefit you?
>>7440855Idk I try to make myself draw whenever I post anything which makes me draw more (failing tonight due to drunk)
>>7440852waste of time and permabeg smell
>>7440712>not even an image from the previous threadCan't believe I posted so many works and got tricked out of recognition and senpais notice again!
>>7440723why is a game off to play vidya half the cost of A day off doing whatever (which would probably be gaming all day)
>>7440854Which?
>>7440842Your art smells like dollar store bodywash (which is repackaged hand soap)
>>7440733I drew every challenge of the past ~3 months. Today I refu...FINE. I'll do it. I hate you.
>>7440812i'm beg, but i feel like the jaw / chin could be more under / behind the mouth if that makes sense, and maybe some visible cheek since she's smiling.
>>7440795this one looks better then things you did before>>7440784something bothers me about the face but looks good
>>7440784This is nice, I think the mouth is a little small but thats about it.>>7440796Working over a bright white background will throw you off.>>7440815The lines at the elbows are making the angle of the arms look off but it's looking nice.
i can paint portraits, but i can't draw them, i can only do the gesture setup for the painting processi'm a fraud, my brain just doesn't wanna learn how to draw human portraits (i can draw other things just fine for whatever reason), i'm gonna kms today at right now
paladin fella. any critique welcome
>>7440919His left eye (our left, not his) is kind of drifting off to the side. I can see what you were doing there, nestling each eye right above the cheekbone, which you did successfully both times, it's just that the left cheek/part of the face is too wide. Otherwise, looks really good!
>>7440712Any tips?
>>7440919Looks good but I think the yellow light from the hammer would travel further across the white fabric.
>>7440919very wide and small boi (supposing you didn't do it on purpose), rendering needs some clarity, it could be more defined (if you want more realism), other than those, looks pretty good
>>7440922stop blending with your balls.
>>7440928TOOK ME LONG TO NOTICE IT LMAAO
>>7440919xcom coded
>>7440895Unlimited gooning, binge watch a series, read a manga or book, etc. Playing games all day is fine, but can get boring and requires me to not spend on jacking off. Lol. The 10000 point one is also an award I set up to be given to me for completing 30 days. So I get 3 of those per 3 month block.
>>7440928Do I use the tip instead?
>>7440922LMFAO
>>7440934How many points for chicken tenders?
>>7440943
>>7440723what's the app called
>>7440784nice cheek highlight. lips feel out of place
faurk
>>7440952Mine is called LifeUp Pro, its free with my Google play pass, but there are a lot of other free versions that look better. LifeRPG looks good and is free, you'll see a bunch when you look them up. You need to actually 'play' by the rules you set, make attainable goals. Channel your inner austist and imagine you're a newbie in a game. Set up easy objectives at first, but have a long term goal, then as you get used to completing your easy objectives and earning points, increase the difficulty. You really have to be willing to 'play'. There's no sense in downloading it if you aren't going to 'play' by the rules you set. You'll feel extremely stupid and like it's pointless and retarded, but if you push past that and hold yourself accountable it's actually a really good but extremely autistic way of doing what a normal person would consider goal setting.
>>7440949Based. you're alright
Is this circle too fucked up? Look at that bloated upper corner.
>>7440971Fuck, rotate it 90 degrees to the right in your mind.
>>7440974Actually nvm, did it myself
>>7440834I think this could work as a base for something roughly spherical. The overhand grip makes it much easier for me to draw large circles and ellipses, I'd suggest you try it if you haven't already.
wasted the day again award I'm gonna drive into a tree
>>7440979>Look up overhand grip>Try itOh, Jesus, this is hard as balls. I have no clue if I'm even doing this right. I guess I can still make circles, though?
>>7440991Shoulda gooned like I told you
>>7440852I see a lack of respect for the line. You practice bad economy.
>>7440979So cute
>>7440995Okay, yeah, trying this is making me furious, just injured my hand. Gonna take a break, I think.
>>7440957this ugly girl would still reject me. Revolting.
Tried to fix this shit based on the quick repaint some other anon did
>>7440996I didn't goon I didn't draw I didn't play video games I didn't even fucking doomscroll or watch youtube or anything I just paced around in my room and now it's bedtime I fucking hate being like this
SchefulfuhreateOO5none of these really have titles just stuff I typed before
>>7441009Doing nothing and stressing out is probably BETTER for your brain than gooning. There's always tomorrow, don't freak out over it. Tomorrow you will be productive, I believe in you GBP anon.
DiinduhaNgaaginahimoasawaahenteΨαβαπΣζπΦ⅒τμε>>7441015this should be title and that for this image lol
>>7441019Why are white people like this?
>>7440754Fuckin nice
>>7441001Weak bait.
>>7441029Because black people are like *that*.You know.
>>7440979How did you come up with these anime heads? Are you a japanese island dog?
>>7440712How do i fix the legs, they so fucking big everytime
>>7441058>they so fucking big everytimeMake them smaller. Hope I helped.
>>7440712>>7440719>>7440748>>7440887Oh look someone took my bridgmanime drawing I got no feedback on and used it for OP. Neat.
>>7441059t-thanks..
>>7440804autistic obsession over a specific subject doesn't really help me to improve in other important fields>>7440806primitive and vanilla. nothing to brag about
>>7441067no fetish is worth bragging about dipshit just say it
sketchbook, paint tool SAI or what
>>7441063I picked it because I liked it though
>>7441075This is so uniquely disgusting
>>7441073Shoulda picked several examples from the thread, pinhead
Pyw or redraw it chud
>>7440897The newest
>>7441080So is your mom.
>>7441075holy cute and appealing
>>7441085>>7441089Don't get mad just don't draw gross shit
>>7441080How do you mean? You think its a kid or what. Don't look sexual in any way so I don't get what got you disgusted
>>7441097he's spent too long browsing /lsg/ thinking about the uoahhcloseted lolicon probably
>>7441080>>7441095you sound like a redditor
>>7441084Nobody had made a new one after 500+ replies. I did it because it seemed like nobody else was going to, but I'm not going to make a collage for it.
>>7441097Just looks like someone creepily photoshopped a shitty anime head onto a picture of their classmate, gives the same vibes as those people who edit Naruto into their Facebook profile pic
>>7441095Not that anon but I don't see anything wrong with it, you seem a bit unstable
>>7441099You sound like a madditor
>>7441103>Not that anonIf anyone itt believes this I have a great crypto coin for you to invest in immediately and I'll give you the info cheap cheap cheap
>>7441104You sound like someone who doesn't draw.
>>7441100Eh don't sweat it anon, yea it's not the greatest OP but at least you actually made a thread while everyone else was just posting variations of "new thread when">>7441106meds
>>7441108You sound like someone who doesn't stop seething
>>7441098>>7441102Yeah you rite. I was being naive thinking it wasn't sexual in any way.
>>7441110It's chill home dawg. I ain't mad, you have your own preferences and dont like cute weebshit. I get it. I bet you're a real big man who likes other kinds of things, I suppose
>>7441073T-thanks! The only reply I got to it last thread was “disgusting”. I’d like to know how to do it better. I guess I’ll be explicit in my request next time.
>>7441112>t-t-tell me what YOU like I nuhnuhNEED to crab you!!!SeeThing
So what's like the most retard friendly guide to drawing
>>7441102kek. How is that the first thing you think of? What's the thoughtprocess to get "photoshopping anime head on a classmate" from that? Only half joking, I'm kind of curious.>>7441100If anyone ever complains about an OP that was made after people complained about not having a new thread in the previous thread, you should ignore them. If they have the energy to complain either before or after the thread was made, they could have made one themselves.
>>7441120>the thoughtprocessIts a hyperbolic joke you pinheaded pedo apologist. Facially confused autismics don't get these "specific situation extrapolated" type jokes
more doodlesmechanical pencil's eraser is getting dire>>7441119keys to drawing
>>7441121>I-it was just a joke. A-and you're autistic!
>>7441120Because when you open the image it's clear the human body was drawn with a model on one layer then an anime head was pasted onto it. the head, background and body are incongruent and it's gross looking.
>>7441075amazingly nice
>>7441100These fags don't deserve collages. They had an anon making them high effort collages every day and they still bitched and complained. You made the thread, they're permafag complainers. Simple. As.
>>7441124>the human body was drawn with a model on one layer then an anime head was pasted onto itCould be that the body was drawn over don't know, but I can see how it might be. Head doesn't look pasted in though, style seems pretty similar to the rest.I think I understand what your thought process was though. Still don't agree, but I take back the kek.
>>7441100op is fine don't sweat it
>>7441075
>>7441134Looks like it's just earlier versions of OP's painting.
>>7440733Challenge accepted. I like the pose. Should I do a short comic with this? I could.
>>7441138Not when you visit the pages lol, unless someone randomly dropped an already argued about on Twitter image here weeks after it was created
>>7441139
>>7441134Most of those are reposts, but yeah, seems to be drawn over someone else's work>>7441138Doesn't seem like it from picrel
i hate learning to draw i just want to be able to draw perfect things straight away FUCK kms
>>7441124kek, guess you were partially right. Still don't think the draw over looks bad or anything, but it's a bit pathetic
>>7441143Knew it. If the image ITT didn't immediately hit your eye wrong I'm afraid YNGMI.
>>7441146More likely the author got a paintover from someone else and then posted it to get further feedback on whether it was good or not
>>7441145how would you guys finish this drawing
>>7441147Damn, getting condemned to be a permabeg feels pretty bad>>7441151Why would you post somebody else's paintover to get feedback on and not even say so? That's even more pathetic. In either case it's really fucking weird
>>7440915A small but very affective change, thank you, I will also try to trace your hand
>>7441156Watch one (1) rotoscoped film and you'll be able to spot trace overs for the rest of your life
I found these at a McDonalds
>>7441163MY PORTFOLIO!!!
>>7441163What did you have?
I wonder if and when things are going to click for me in this hobby. Or is that a bad desire?
>>7441167Big mac w/ extra big mac sauce
>>7441145>>7441154Did you construct that, or just start randomly drawing an eye and then plopping in everything around it? I know it's super tempting to draw in the latter way, but you can't.
>>7441172the latter
>>7441154make her drunk idk
>>7441174where do i start with construction? i just want to draw anime shit
finally done with this shitnow to draw the actual manga story. might not post in beg anymore i kinda wanted to post this to the end but posting is annoying as i often forget to do it
>>7441075god i hate paint overs
>>7441179Looks mid
>>7441184pyw
>>7441075>all the pre-/beg/s going to bat for thishope you enjoyed your life lesson
>>7441186>batHehe
>>7441145are you memy fingers are starting to hurtwatching all these videos about studying how to draw is giving me highschool math exam PTSD flashbacks
>>7441181Idgaf about the supposed drama or weirdnessI like how the other person painting over rendered the background and the clothes. It's really impressive edge/value control whoever the other guy was
>>7441179i always wondered how the backgrounds workyou did that?
>>7441181>>7441193It wasnt a paintover, I saw his WIPs posted in asg discord
>>7441179Great stuff man. You're gonna make it, don't listen to these queers trying to give you shit.
>>7441194Yes I extracted the tones and black values from a photo and then drew all the lines with perspective rules and added a lot of details on the temple, stalls, bricks etc. I drew the wall in myself cuz it wasn't there. I actually fucked up on the sky above the temple a little I should've erased the tone or added some clouds there but its such a small mistake I might not be arsed to fix it
>>7441179the perspective of their feet are wrong they dont match the perspective of the ground
>>7441199damn, i always thought these things were rendered or something
>>7441199extracted from photoGotcha, so that's why the characters looked photoshopped onto an oddly detailed/ more realistic scene
>>7441203Wdym by rendered? Like by a program? >>7441200I don't really see it but i might be tunnel visioned from working on it too much
>>7441208Yeah, like i always thought those were just pictures and then mangafied somehowNot actually drawn by hand
>>7441204Thats kind of the hardest part about it, making the characters blend well into the scene, im not very good at that yetIll try some stuff tomorrow might be worth a try to make the bg less detailed>>7441210You can also do that in clip studio EX and extract everything but usually the lines end up looking like shit so i draw all the lines myself
>>7441210Man, thats ugly as fuck.
Okay, hopefully less horrifying than bridgmanime. Feedback pls.
>>7441216Looks great. :D
>>7441216what are we giving feedback on?
>>7441216The perspective is wrong
>>7441216hard to say
>>7441216looks
>>7441208Look at far left guy's foot facing the left. Same for the the guy in the far back crossing his arms somehow the leg on the left needs to be longer and his more of the top of his shoes visible. The horizon line appears to be right at the hairline of thje middle line guy so that means that everything below the horizon line we would be seeing much the shoes more angled from above than you've drawn them
almost giving up on trying to learn how to draw like Kubo and trying something more westernized instead like Panty & Stocking
>>7441229It's more like at his neck but I get your point. I'll see if i can change the perspective on either the bg or on the guys tomorrow. and ill try to make them blend in more
>>7441231pyw instead
>>7441244>>7441058
>>7441245pyw that isnt just directly traced from an image
>>7441246No.
>>7440739As a proud beg i have attempted this however i fucked it up....
>>7441246it wasnt directly traced, but i was looking at a pic i took from myself in other monitor
do you guys like my raccoon?i think hes cute.
>>7441258pretty nice
>>7441058you should really start practicing values and gradients, but for now look at kubo's boots and use those abstractions on your the sleeves.
>>7441119I'm watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jjmOF1hQqI&t=253s>>7441266sorry anon i started this drawing thing a week ago you're mostly speaking mandarin to me
>>7440739any tips on how to change lineweight/ variations in thickness of lines in Krita?Pen pressure doesn't seem to work all that well. Especially since I hold the stylus very lightly.
>>7441256computer... enhance!
>>7441139great, as always
>>7441213You say this, but it's literally how all modern manga is done. Once you see it, you'll never be able to unsee it. It's no different than a photobasher. A skilled artist can make it unnoticeable.
>>7441075how long did this take?(looks great)
>>7441281you can probably change the pressure curve in krita or your pen drivers to accommodate for light useyou can also just go over lines or increase or decrease pen size when you want more/less weight
>>7441154I wouldn't I'd fucking give up before I ruin itI do this a lot where I draw a cute face and leave it at that
>>7441231Panty and stocking makes use of some crazy fisheye perspective when they're drawn 'realistic'. The art style is deceptively simple but there is great skill in that show.
>>7441100you mad ethe thread too soon anyway.If you really did wait for so long, why didn't do find the time to make a proper thread image?I know your intentions were pure, but you were lazy when it mattered. A classic ngmi trait, btw!Tfw it makes me appreciate the previous thread pic maker even more.
>>7441120the guy who complained the entire time is the guy who made the thread. Old one was going just fine, still.
>>7441295Next time they should just let the beg thread reach page 11 before they make a new one. Clogging up my cris and frog threads with actual art.
>>7441294Yes, the show has amazing animation, but the simple toon style has alot of charmSame with Paru Itagaki style, it looks simpler and easier to draw as a newfag in the hobby. I don't know
>>7441281Yeah start a new folder for your experiments so you don't write over the original
>>7441231Ha, funny, I study the same anime. I also study Samurai Champloo. I think it comes down to me really fucking with the shape language and sharp angles of the artists. It meshes well with what I want my own to be. I also like guilty gear, Vagabond, just really gestural. I say you study what will allow you to create what you want. Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's not worth it. You should ask yourself what draws you to these styles, what appeals the most to you, then try to capture the essence when creating your own style.
>>7441291Hmm, looks like there is no magic pill. I'll draw over the old lines I guess.
>>7441300Didn't we agree on page 9 last thread?
>>7441304>I say you study what will allow you to create what you want. Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's not worth it. You should ask yourself what draws you to these styles, what appeals the most to you, then try to capture the essence when creating your own style.Huh, nice tip actually. Don't know if it makes sense but i enjoy alot how ''grunge'' they look. Really stylish. CSM illustrations has that vibe tooYou're right, it would be bad if i just copy their style.
>>7441308No
Trying to fix this somehow.
>>7441295Identifying what appeals to you is the first step of studying a style. What exactly makes the style 'grunge' for you? Is it the hatch rendering? The muddied color palette? The line weight being jagged? The proportions? Are they lanky? What makes them look more mature? Etc. You pay attention to these things while copying, then you incorporate characteristics into your own drawings. Then before you know it, some things stick, you start being able to consistently create a style that appeals to you and boom, you got your signature style.
>>7441308We agreed that the beg thread should just be removed. It clogs up the board. Gets in the way of the daily AI and doomer threads.
hey so how do I add details that are more subtle in a sketch without learning painting yet? like armor details.should I just put gray on my palette?
how do I go from following drawing tutorials and understanding everything they're saying and being able to draw it (by copying each stroke they do) to being able to actually draw on my own? the two results cannot even be compared. I can't draw on my own at all, looks like absolute dogshit.
more reference drawing wuuw
>>7441323Follow the tutorials but don't just blindly copy everything they do, eg if it's a guide on how to draw a man using boxes, draw him in a different pose but still apply whatever principles the tutorial is trying to teach you, so that you can actually understand them. Eventually you'll be able to do it without the guide, good luck anon
create on 3rd
>>7440712>Go through Art and Science of drawing course ~ a year ago>Think I comprehended most of it. Shelf it and just draw for a year>Starting to forget some of the important parts of gesture after a while>Rewatch course>Realize how much stuff I glossed over last time I watched it>Think to myself "How the hell could I miss such important information?? This shit's been driving me crazy for a year, yet he explained how to do it right here"I never realized how much a difference drawing experience made in actually understanding the courses you watch. I feel like I learned 5x more the second time I watched it having had a year to gain more drawing xp. Might be time to re-read Vilppu since the first time I read that book I was a pre-beg and didn't understand SHIT and thought it was completely fucking useless.Are there any books/courses out there that you guys have had a similar experience with? Didn't understand/see the value in until you re-read it after getting more experience?
>>7441347This is how you will feel your entire art journey. All the fundamentals are cumulative. They build up on themselves. The more you learn, the more you realize how much knowledge was being shared that you were literally too ignorant to understand.
What to do if I am permaprebeg?

todays practice
>>7441361You are so fucking good. for how long have you been drawing?
>>7441350It's weirdly comforting and depressing at the same time.It's tangible proof you've improved which feels great, but it also makes you feel like you could've made so much more progress had you understood it just a little more the first time around.And that this cycle will repeat ad nauseum for as long as you draw
>>7441119Brent Eviston book and video courses
Thoughts? I used no reference and haven't done many lessons. Plan on doing that tomorrow
>>7441376glad i saw this after i ate my dinner and not before
>>7441377Okay. Fair
>>7441377I thought this was /beg/ cmon you can't bully me
>>7441371Obligatory. To the untrained eye a beginner and master often appear the same. Pearls before swine as they say. It's just the nature of knowledge and why we are all bound to be dunning krugers in somebody else's eyes at some point. The most important thing is self assessment and willingness to grow.
>>7441376penis is overlong and connects wrong also has no balls?? and is upside downtongue looks like a potato chipno eyebrows on anyone is uncannyhands r ok
>>7441347I keep telling begs to get experience drawing first but they never listen.
A knight i drew
>>7441055>Are you a japanese island dog?No but I'm 99.85% white so do not worry>How did you come up with these anime heads?I'll explain, but as I'm not very good, taking my advice might be harmful. Someone literally hurt their hand because of my advice, so I feel ashamed.I found that anime heads require an incredible amount of space between the eyes, so if I want to make the eyes very big, the head has to be very wide. The wider the head, the smaller the jaw, and the chin angle becomes less acute until it becomes a blob.I usually use the cylinder as the base shape, then I slap a goggle shape in the middle and that's basically it.On the attached picture you can see the steps of me sketching 3 generic heads + a bonus picture I scribbled when I was bored.I have a bad habit of drawing very small, so my drawings tend to be very simple.
>>7441387he boutta dabbin
>>7441387nice
>>7441169I don't think that's a bad desire. I too seek some sort of satisfaction from drawing.
>>7441387is this digital or traditional? i can’t tell
>>7441395Traditional, but i scanned it with my printer
>>7441364like two years (actually trying to improve)
>>7441402He asked how long you've been drawing, not "actually trying to improve".
>>7441384I'm stupid as fuck for that, fixed the penis
Please someone give me a good book for figure practice I'm depressed and just draw random shit like this then give up and jack off or play video games for 5 hours
>>7441403Whats your problem?
>>7440712Do you think letting a truck run over my neck can fix my posture for drawing?
I was making this when I realized "I CAN DRAW"I have a long way to go but I'm enjoying every bit of itWAGMI
>>7440723TOTAL NEET DEATH
>>7441407Use a reference, you have good shape in some aspects but the anatomy is bizarre and the perspective is bizarre>>7441408You're afraid to commit to drawing something because it will be bad, you need to get over that. 99% of the time I see people drawing random shapes and blobs is because they're afraid to commit to an actual drawing
>>7441408For figure drawing, I've liked Steve Huston's book the best so far.
>>7441408I like to use those posable things
>>7441419you lucky bastard, you learned to secret... you need to actually enjoy drawingit's over for guys like me who find it tedious
>>7441389red pill me on your brush choicesI can't seem to find one I like in krita
>>7441373>>7441122Why is it always these two>>7441272This is new though, I'll try and remember to look at it
>>7441419>"I CAN DRAW"no you can't, fix your eyes
>>7440742drop the fucking name already, god
>>7440857there is no point in asking him why, he just does, it's like the 1300th time he posted one of his draw 500 lines/cubes/circles exercise webms
>>7441477Not that guy but I used a similar app a long time ago called Habitica, just look it up and find similar ones
>>7441221>>7441222>>7441225Fucking. God damn it. Lmao.
>>7441477he did and its in the filename anyway dummy
today's drawing, i think there's some issues but i'll have to fix tomorrow since i'm moving then

Is copying other art good or bad practice?
>>7441521Youtube videos told me its good
quick redraw i did :) both are from imagination the og took 30 minutes and the new one took 7i’ve still got a long way to go but it feels good to see the little gains
>>7441521It's part of a good art practice but just copying other artists art is not sufficient to train all of your skills to your maximum potential. You can learn different things by copying from other artists, copying from life, photos, 3d models etc., drawing from memory, drawing from imagination, creating new artworks. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.So it depends on what type of art you want to make and what you enjoy doing.
could anyone redline this? i just want to see how a better artist would handle the pose
Working on folds/clothes any tips/critique?
>>7441537start here: draw what you likeend here: hate what you drew
what are you favorite reference books?Been really into Arms and Armor lately. I'll show my results later, but I'd like to know what you guys like to keep by you. Honestly I might even get a physical copy.
>>7440739nightmarish head angle i nearly died
>>7441569gorgeous. i hate doing folds
>>7441288Thank you so much anon! Here you have a little short comic about that pic. The second and final page is on its way. Though I may have to post it in the new thread probably...
Best book for anime/cartooning? Every book is total slop

>>7441489the pelvis isn't 2d, the circles won't always be visible because some poses don't have a front view angle, understanding and translating this into the canvas will help you add a 3d torso and legs
