>>7712192yayyy thanks nonnie
>didn't make it into the OPm-maybe next time
funsies
>>7712203Sorry bro, I picked at random but tried to avoid similar looking images.
>>7712212why is that ojisan cosplaying as an anime girl?¡
>>7712169
ah I love fat women
Tried to do an environment study and would apprecieate some pointers in what i should do or could do better, felt like i struggled alot with texture and details especialy with the water
>>7712233Did you color pick? If not that's actually pretty impressive.
>>7712234no but i getting to those colors took a while
must draw
>>7712240draw what?
>>7712241just draw gotta get good
>>7712240I've been drawing for the past 3 fucking hours, most of the time was spent figuring out eraser settings or other workflow bullshit. It is fun though.
Ass guns.
did a study of some random panel from some takemiya Keiko manga that popped up on PinterestI feel like I got the proportions pretty close, though the guy with ponytail I think his head could've been a bit bigger. maybe I'll redraw the back of his hair and add a bit of size therethis reminded me of my ex lolmao but he didn't have a pony tail, just the same vibes
my study folder is just a gooning folder...
>>7712255Sid from ice age looking ahh drawingis that how the cool kids say that these days>missingfundamentals, understanding of biology and skull shape, proportions, perspective
>>7712220You forgot about the room, anon.

what do I do if courses and books make me nauseous with anxiety
>>7712273I was too lazy to draw it, and I don't know how
I'm so slow lol at this rate I won't be able to finish this piece within Miku monday....>>7712270Are you me?
If this thread starts talking about women again will this OP make another new thread? Seems like a retarded precedent.
>already trying to derailJust post your work retard, it's really not that hard.
>been wanting to get back into drawing after getting a new, modern tablet as a Christmas gift in '23>started learning the basics as my New Year's resolution for '24>shit happens in life and I lose the will to be productive>finally give it another go after finding the motivation to draw again>try to learn how to draw via construction instead of trying to freehand the final product off the get-go>picrel is the end result of 10 mins of sketching before I actually try to do lineart>realize how absolutely shit and infantile my fundamentals for art and drawing isOld habits really do die hard. Any advice on how to tackle construction or rewiring my brain so I stop drawing like my retarded old teenage self?
I did not draw this but does anybody know why this looks weird/unappealing? I've looked at this for some minutes but I can't point out why it looks that way.
>>7712290too pornish
>>7712290It's uses a lot of symbol drawing, hair is flat, the way her legs wrap over each other is weird, her belly button is too low. It's not awful to look at, just some things at a glance.
>>7712290I'm a beglet but from I can notice is that the lower part of the body seems too small and the torso is too long.
>>7712276Go for a walk
Brazilian anon has been drawing for a little over a year, why aren't you on his level? Why do you sometimes say to continue drawing, and sometimes say to quit in a scumbag way?
practicing sketching directly with the pen>>7712290the collarbones+sternocleidomastoid looks kinda susthere is also a lack of right rhythm lines defining the contour of the muscles in the arm, especially in the forearm
>>7712271getting proportions and skull shape correct on subjects that don't have human proportions to begin with is really difficult
>>7712312wtf. do that more often. so much better than your usual schlock
Wanted to share something, can't easily "see" things clearly on the ref to work easily but it's been fun to draw a face and have it make sense as a beginner, maybe it's an effect related to how we recognize faces? I didn't do anything on the shirt yet because I haven't looked into it, hair was also rushed. Here's the image I'm using https://youtu.be/nJf81DzV6ng?si=dqdeWsdzquVf0CJM
Man, these are pretty SWEET as references, a lot more versatile than say the bodykun, and cheap af because you can print them on demand
>>7712315oh I didn't know it wasn't a person lol sorry
>>7712233The sky looks amazing. I'm jealous.
Time to study anime :)
>>7712327Study? Haha i have talent ;)
>>7712320don't apologize, it was still shit, even if the wide round head and large floppy ears were intentional
i neither have talent or study, I just draw
>>7712275>51 minutes>part 1 of 7Bro...
Not feeling it today.
badly copying from the art of animal drawing
ignore the feet.>>7712168>my uncanny shogun made itfuck yeah>>7712254yeah i would make his head bigger>>7712312looks rlly good>>7712350i like the really angry kitten>>7712338based
I think I'll take a break from drawing and learn 3D enough to be able to model and pose my own mannequins to trace over.
>>7712319Looks cool. Wish i had one
>>7712168>Rei's coochie on OP imageNice. Another OP pic to my colection.
>>7712220You'll get there someday anon, in the meantime, just keep practicing.
Finished my sweating beast of a delivery girl.
>>7712346cute
>>7712170>>7712169these suck >>7712171this doesn't suck
>>7712275you're so good funschizo keep it up
Starting the month off strong. Also crossed 700hrs since taking this drawing thing more seriously back in December>>7712381Cute and lickable>>7712353Nice bugs, your style fits them so well>>7712175hiya
>>7712394thanks ;3these look really goodespeciallythe stomach on the right one
How did you all learn to draw? I feel lost with this. I feel like I don’t get any better just copying drawings I like, I don’t learn how to structure stuff for myself. How did you actually structure your learning process and get better, speaking from when you first began? I have the time and the energy but I have no direction. If anyone has a tutorial playlist or anything like that they used for lessons, help me out.
>>7712401do you have adhd and shake a lot when you draw because of your meds
>>7712406No…
>>7712401> structure learning>any tutorial vids I could just point you to Med's Map or something but I think you don't realize that you aren't asking the right question. What is your goal in art?
>>7712418Just to be decent at it so I can draw and not have it look terrible. I just enjoy doing it and want to improve. I’m happy with it being a hobby.
>>7712407sorry there's an anon that asks similar things nonstop i had to checkmost people copy for fun when they first start so now that it seems like you're past that stage, your goal with copying should become copying accurately and being able to see objective proportionsproko's drawing basics lessons seem good if you need something structured, personally i didn't follow lessons when i first started
>>7712169very erotic ref.Enjoyed drawing it a lot, I did 2 versions. Would do a 3rd if time was not such a limited resource!
>>7712233just wow. Very good work.
>>7712422Thank you I assumed it was a joke or something. Proportions, perspective, construction etc I want to get a sense of these things. I will check out what you and the other anon suggested. But I am interested in people here telling me personally how they learned.
>>7712311I dislike tracing.
>>7712399Thanks! Drawing tummies is always fun, the lighting study is just a bonus at that point
>>7712311all that means is that i have to keep trying
>>7712394that tummy is perfect. what did your drawings look like back in december?
>>7712424Very sick my dude.
119th cringeit's horrendousfuck this is difficult
>>7712454What's your reference?
>>7712427oh well when i started to take it seriously i spent multiple months gesture drawing and following a course about that until i realized it wasn't helping me at all. then i started browsing here and read the sticky, picked up a couple tips about observation and started doing a couple figure copies a day for a few months until i got the hang of it
>>7712169An attempt was made
>>7712458
>>7712460Thanks
>>7712420What subject matter would you like to draw with your art and what medium would you like to use in order to draw it?
>>7712474I am writing a novel and would like to make pictures for it ideally. I mostly use paper and pencil so far.
I don't even know what to do with this pose lol might leave it as it is.
>>7712462why the fuck are your images horribly compressed
>>7712445Thank you!They didn't look quite as good I'd say, but it wasn't like I was completely new to drawing. Here's some of the stuff I think was the best I did back then. Top left was inspired by an image I like but without reference, top right was using a few references for Elegg, bottom left was a 1hr figure drawing and bottom right was an 8 hour drawing that was like 90% copied from a model I posed.>>7712401I jumped around a lot. Pretty much immediately started with just grinding out semi finished Illustrations. Did like 40 in 50 days by doing one League champion at a time, doing some quick constructive copies of their official art to get a feel for them.Then I spent like 1 month going through the Weichun book, then I grinded gestures for another month or 2, occasionally doing master studies of kan liu and other stuff.Then I burnt out prepping for Artfight, did a few illustrations for that and took until now to recover.I basically just looked at what I thought I was weak at, looked for resources for that and just grinded for a while, rinse and repeat.
>>7712462but why
>>7712479>grinded gestures for another month or 2Well, more like a mix of gestures and figures really
>>7712479How did you start to learn how to make constructive copies? When you practice, what is your method? Just copying?
>>7712478reduces file size>>7712481I don't know
My Apple Pencil is out of power. What should I do? It’s a pro, btw. ;-P
>>7712484By constructive copies I mean like making a basic mannequin for the pose and then drawing over that. I think blindly copying line by line doesn't really work, you need a goal. Basically studies really.In the beginning my goal was just learning how to construct the pose and maybe learn a bit of how stuff got stylized, later it was way more on specific techniques for coloring and stuff.Here's one of the League champs I did, the timelapse maybe explains it better than I can >>7501362
>>7712493Thank you.
>>7712401vilppu + copying hentai artists
>>7712401Trial and error my friend.
>>7712401i improve if i draw, i just most often don't draw. i'm my own worst enemy
>>7712509what if you're just error should you kill yourself
>>7712515No. You keep trying.
>>7712461Looks like Obama’s mother circa 1960
going through bridgman. would appreciate any help or critiques.>>7712251bottom figure is really nice.

Latest thing I made, a binturong (again):
>>7712568>have you ever had a krispy kreme
Can I have your honest opinion on my art?
On top of the shit with my cat, There's someone who has been stalking me for a year and is now targeting my gf and my friends over some shotacon-adjacent art that I was autistic af over. they > collected names of almost all of the accounts i have ever owned> claiming my autistic obsession over tron is malicious/predatory > contacted my friends via personal messages > is trying to find out where i work and live > twisted my fandom content with illegal activitykill me kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me
tried polishing the turd from earlier, I think the creepy guy looks better with the head changed and I really like the fabric folds>>7712517but that's hard
>>7712584I hope your cat comes home soon
>>7712584yeeaaah something like that happened to me also
>>7712169Here's me throwing my hat in the ring.>>7712584That's rough, buddy.
>>7712584How do people manage to do this? How do they find all this stuff? Is it by email leaks?
I hate permabegs
