WIP, I killed the drawing making it way too small and then saving it, now it looks pixelated. I still like it though.
Do you have to draw be featured in the OP that’s is some ableist bullshit.
>>7738586>Do you have to draw be featured in the OPbeing featured in the OP is not a feat, its a defeat, you never want to be featured. im glad i wasnt this time.
"Fun"https://youtu.be/kjfQ0Cyd-2E
>>7738588What happens when you’re featured?
>>7738588It’s not bad at all. There are plenty of good drawings in the OP. It just means that your drawing was chosen to represent both beginners and intermediates
>>7738586Agreed posts should be able to make into the OP
>>7738589Retard.
>>7738586Just draw anime and you'll be featured
knight man
>>7738603Not really, I didn't see >>7738581 featured for example (which btw gets almost no replies considering how legitimately good it is in the context of this thread), and I also spot numerous examples of non anime art being featured. I honestly believe there's no criteria and the selection is pretty much random, which is fine I guess, as it eliminates whatever bias the OP might personally have

>>7738628Pinky on the left side looks awkward to me. The middle phalanx looks way too long. Looks like you made it longer so a joystick could fit between the fingers, but what would actually happen is pads of the finger would deform around the joystick to make enough space. Make the tip of your pinky touch the palm of your hand and see how much space is in the middle.
>>7738573For >>7738453For poses this complex, it’s really really important to plan before going into the final drawing. Make sure to fuck around with different ideas, refs and approaches
just starting into the loomis method and the 1/3rd proportions thing is tripping me up. Does it click more if i use a reference compared to on a lone circle?
>>7738628man idk
>>7738682i like your life drawingsany particular books/artists that have helped you?
>>7738705Thanks anon. Perspective made easy, Alphonso Dunn’s books, Paul Richer, Loomis (figure drawing and head drawing),and how to draw by Scott Robertson.
>>7738707>Alphonso Dunn’s booksthe pen and ink ones?
>>7738707Just to add on, the warmups in the how to draw book are super useful too. Just for general good drawing practice
>>7738711Yes.The workbook is better though for obvious reasons so I’d get that first

Some old shit
>>7738674i see what you mean yeah. thank you>>7738682there weren't a lot of refs i could find for this desu, i used myself and 3d models. i want to preserve the realism that the art could be an actual reflection up at the character so that makes posing for it pretty challenging. you're right though, i'll try more stuff to see what works. also hugely appreciate all of the breakdowns here, will def use these>>7738701>>7738748very nice, i wasn't sure how to simplify the face for this angle so i'll try to use some of this
Tried to make John Castle Crasher mouse only, god damn it hurt.
>>7738846I love your linework and basically everything you post, but I'm not even a foot guy and can tell those feet need some work. You're consistently making the big toe way too small: the top left and top right are especially egregious. The entire top plane of the foot also slopes down from the big toe towards the pinkie toe, so you would only really see the big toe in the profile view from that side.You can kind of wing it for toes 2-4, which are pretty samey, but the big toe and to a lesser extent the pinkie toe are almost always relatively distinct in shape compared to the rest.
>>7738842drawing with mouse is going to hurt your wrist
>>7738842looks cool but you gotta stop drawing with mouse like the other anon said
>>7738261Terminally beg. The more I draw the worse I become.
Very low effort day, tracing over an old challenge drawing and "animating" the 1st couple of frames for a loop
>haven't drawn anything for a month now
Many mistakes but the idea is there
>>7738889Are you a female third worlder?
>>7738865Thanks. I'm trying to make these ones feel feminine but I think I took too much liberty with the big toe like you said. I think the bottom left and the one to the left of the frog turned out best from a proportions perspective. I've drawn way more hands than feet, and even though I think the former are more technically challenging they seem to offer a bit more leeway in terms of appealing proportions compared to feet. I guess it's a matter of more grinding

>>7738894what's your excuse
>>7738902The third worlder part is correct. >>7738916Thanks. But at this point I feel like drawing cute is everything I can do at the moment. I wonder what abomination shall surfice once I try to draw a male.
oh cool im in the OP! anyways I wanted to experiment with drawing women who have very androgynous bodies, so have an edgy shadow lady
>>7738934and also heres her ass, btw I intended to write "Azrael"on the paper but just kinda forgot too and didn't realize until later
>>7738928there is no way to get motivated when everything i draw turns out bad
>>7738936Unfortunately the only way to get better is to be bad for a really long time
>>7738938pyw
>>7738562that sounds so coal
I feel like I haven't drawn in a month but there are some really shit sketches in my book from yesterday that I only half remember doing. my wrists and fingers hurt and I feel so distant from everything
>>7738936i drew garbage today and i'm fine with that>>7738086>>7738089surely there is something you can still appreciate from whatever you put out
>>7738573I want everyone to bear in mind: i if you’re not making bad drawings, then you’re not drawing enough
>>7738939Sure, here's something I did last month and some studies I posted in the previous thread. Do with that info what you will.
>>7738948what if i ONLY make bad drawings?
>>7738948Saying this because I pumped out some trash ass hands today lol
>>7738950You’re still improving because you’re drawing. Making lots of bad drawings is great because it teaches you what not to do
how do I learn to respect digital? My digital drawings are really sterile and have no style to them, but my traditional stuff does. I think it's largely because I see digital drawing as a technical activity rather than as an artistic one. All the tools that are used to fake skill turn me off, but sometimes it's the right medium for posting to pixiv.

>>7739187:)
im a little lost on the face/neck/shoulder area, does this even look alright? somethings off i just know it. but what is it
>>7739252The POV of your drawing is more level with the face than the reference. The guy is viewed from above so there is more foreshortening.Drawing boxes would fix this. To put this in terms a flatlander can understand, the shoulders are narrow af and should be wider. In general, the angles should be more severe. The righthand shoulder shows this most not to mention the jawline and cant of the nose. Look up lens distortion while you’re at it.
>>7739266i will not draw boxes but i understand what the issue is now. gonna try and fix it later. thanks
>>7739178I can't do anything, I don't have the talent of talented fags
>>7739273whats the point of all that practice if you aren't gonna do anything with it?
>>7739273>>7739280What this anon said. Honestly, you're not learning anything of value, and it will hurt you in the long run. The only thing you'll gain is being good at drawing that, nothing else.You do you, but you're absolutely wasting your time, talent or not. Learning to draw is still learning, and learning can suck. Learn to love the sucky parts, and you'll learn quicker than whatever you think you're doing now.

>>7739252I like it. Brush?Doing sketching of the render of her dress and gloves (these colors are not final and basically a placeholder). How's the folds on the dress? Its basically my first serious attempt ad doing detailed folds on the clothing.
>>7739316i got these pixel brushes, theyre greathttps://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=2046952i uploaded: https://files.catbox.moe/76vwmr.rar
>>7739320Thanks!
>>7739316>>7739321also, i think youre overcomplicating the folders, especially the nipples look unappealing now. try something like this, following the points where the fabric is being manipulated. sorry im no pro so this is the best i could do
>>7739324>foldersi meant folds, my brain is still stuck in work mode it seems
I don’t want to draw men but I probably should at some point
>>7739324thx, with the top portion of the dress, i really wanted to convey how tight cloth is pressing against her breasts. But yes, on the nipples part, i think i overdone it
>>7739327>I don’t want to draw menThat’s so real
>>7739327Why not?
It's that time of the month where I tell myself I will get back into painting again. Already dont feel like it
>>7739336Really good drawing tho
Anyone else absolutely thriving with the new Procreate brush update bc yuppie
i spent around 3 minutes on each of these, they are all terrible but im gonna do this every day. or at least every other day.
>>7739334I mean to put it simply, I think women are more beautiful and interesting to draw than men. But also I find it more challenging to draw women, I think my brain finds it easier to structure masculine features than feminine ones.
>>7739354Thats very cool, well done.>>7739355I think you need practice in drawing both
im 90% there, whats fucked now? somethings fucky
>>7739370It looks fine, really. Move on to the next piece or start coloring. You’re being a bit of a perfectionist at this point lmao
>>7739373hmm. im autistic maybe thats why. ill color it i guess, reluctantly
>>7739370His eyes are slightly misaligned
>>7739374It’s just that when you’re doing pieces this detailed it’s important to find the right point to be satisfied and move on, even if it still has flaws (which it always will). I think you’re at this point in the drawing, especially given that it looks good since you’ve gotten plenty of crit I assume. That’s why I say that
>>7739370I’ll give crit though, just as a last clean up. Cross should probably be seen more from above and not from the side. Tongue could stand to be a tad bit longer. Give the hair more texture on the contour, add shoes laces, and move the ear back a bit .
>>7739375big>>7739378i mean i wasnt satisfied with it yet which is why i asked for more crit
I think I want to make an artist circleIt would be cool to collaborate to make a visual novel or something
>>7739380I figured, that’s why I gave some crit nonetheless. But you’re hopefully reaching a point close to being satisfied. It looks good, it just also needs some line weight variation
Why does skin have to be the thing that’s so hard to color and render well man
>>7739384Skin is relatively easy unless you're talking about realism which will have detailed textures to deal with
How is it
>>7739390it looks okay dude; stop spamming your comic everywhere. Let us know when you publish it.
>>7739383>line weightThats a meme. All artists i like use miniscule pixel brushes and just color. Ill do the same.I did the line weight dance before. I dont like it. Ill fix the cross, thanks
>>7739395Its literally right there?? >>7739370If you meant older work where i gave three shits about line weight ill attach something.
>>7739393Kek ok
>>7739334it's gay
>>7739394It isn’t a meme at all. If you’re digital maybe it is but using line weight is essential for trad art
>>7739410pic real is a professional animator and im aiming to get this effortless style he has going on. i know its not super detailed, rendered, whatever, but i like this.
>>7738573>tfw i've been drawing for 2 years and i'm not nearly as good as half of these anonsmakes me feel awful
>>7739421Born with talent next life
>>7739421I am in the op (and a beg) and have been drawing for 4 years. Improvement does happen but it takes time. I don’t care about anyone else’s progress besides a bit of respect for keeping at it. I am 22 years old and will hopefully have many years to keep improving.
No patience to draw today. I lack caffeine. >>7739394Isn't consistent line variation still an application of line weight somehow?
>>7739421You will always be better than PBS.

I couldn't come up with an interesting concept for a full drawing, so I just made some random things
>>7739370Git gud.
>>7739394It's an effective technique with multiple applications for many artists. It's not strictly necessary, but then you have to use other techniques to imply the things that lineweight is not being used to define. Also post your inspos, so we know you don't have shit taste.
this is like 1.5 by 1.5 meters im trying to make it so i can sell it for 300 bucks at least... i just make art for money
>>7739517i did>>7739414ive been using lineweight in most of my mangas and monochrome drawings, its definitely necessary in black and white, i just dont like getting memed on with "line weight" when im doing another style.
>>7739492YES YES YES FUCK YES I LOVE HOW YOU INTERPRETED HER DESIGN I LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF THIS THANK YOU SO MUCHis there anything I could draw in return for this act of kindness?
>>7739518>no underpaintingoops
>>7739521Interesting can you exprein that concept? Some sort of medium grey or brown tone or something to give it more vibe and make the holes not show? Too late for it but it may help me later lol
>>7739524yes, always use a color on the canvas first so you dont get white spaces. if you google it, you might find out more. i dont paint traditionally so i cant tell you anything else
>>7739528aight yeah that makes sense
>>7738573anyone has any vids/artists that show their drawing process in krita? can be sfw can be nsfw i just want to gain grip on a process when i don't draw myself

>>7739441Is that supposed to be Cyan?
finally finished this fag>>7739535itll be a while before im on that level i added way too much detail again. i think these professionals can just sketch something and add some color in like an hour or two and call it a day. >>7739541im not, youre improving paigey

>>7739557if i can grasp a fraction of the skill and soul of the average japanese man, i won't have any complaints
>>7739569Go read your father's MAD magazines and then come back and tell me what you want to draw
>>7739569the average japanese man has nothing that resembles a soul within him
>>7739580because they pour it all in their art...

Going back to figgies after finishing a long project is comfy.Dunno why I never tried thinking about the face as a mask when constructing the head, despite it always feeling like the most intuitive way to look at it when.

I have a question about this low-rez style.Do artists just draw it with 100% hardness and some pencil brush on a low-rez canvas?Or do they add some filter after they're done?

>>7740251Yeah fuck that dude, I'm talking about crabs on this board though since I've also been told to kill myself because of a damn drawing lmao.>>7740256>Motivation>TalentYou get one of em anon, make do

1hr of Figgies + Style studies>>7740447>>7740385Cute>>7740320Cool texture work. Reminds me of cheese a bit, but really coolHope it's ok to give some advice, if the arm is obscured behind the body, try to still draw it in the sketch. You've put the forarm too high up for that angle, so it looks like his upper arm is almost non existant
Next comes rendering!
How fast on average do you niggers draw something acceptable? If i cant do it in 5 mins i get frustrated
PAIGE MARRY MEBE MY QUEEN
>>7740470My last fully finished piece took 24hrs, and it kinda looked shit up until like the last 2 hours
>>7740470u retard
>>7740470I haven't actually tracked how long I spend on projects but it's a few hours at least
Alright bros, it's been 4 months since I stopped drawing. I did it for a month and was horridly shit. Wish me luck. As a NEET think I can cram 14 hour days drawing to get gud? What's the optimal amount of time I should be drawing? And should I just keep trying to copy images on the internet through construction over and over until I can produce photorealistic copies, and then move onto more complicated stuff?
>>7740469whys she so smug, shes got terrible aim
>>7740480That's a very silly thing to say. If you could do 14 hour drawing days, you would be doing them already.Just try doing a quick sketch every 2 days or so.Draw something. Look at it. What's fucked up? Look up "how to draw [thing I fucked up]". Rinse and repeat, until you grow a natural understanding of how things should be. This only works if you're not retarded.Also don't read Loomis.
>>7740481She sprayed and prayed for fun :)
>>7740492cute
>>7740492
>She is on a morning jog
>>7740466Nice ass
>>7740480i can't draw for more than 2 hours without losing their spatial awareness but i'm a subhuman so i'm sure that's relevant.
>>7740447insanely cute fox. now draw her getting her ears fluffed.
>>7740524>>7740530yk anon, u can spend more than 40 seconds on a drawing
>>7740537I don't have a pencil
>>7740530Bro you don't even look like you're trying.
>>7740499So cute
>>77404701 hour for a study or a mediocre drawing showing the shoulders-head.5-8 hours for a full body drawing with background, colored.
I like to post my wins and my failuresThese are mostly failures. 3 mins per face. Stagnating
>>7740546Can you post a 5 hour one and hiw long u been drawing?
>>7740544if we say that becoming intermediate takes 300,000 stepsthen I made only 3 so far

The sprites are almost done spritening
>>7739743>>7739752I meant to type "90 seconds" but yeh still these are subpar.To address that, here's the same exercise with faces:45 seconds60 seconds90 seconds120 seconds
I don't worry about time unless i'm practicing figure drawing. Around 30min-1hour

>>7740602thanks !>>7740547cool
I may be a little obsessed with her>>7739934huh, I didn't know people who drew like this posted here. that's actually kinda shocking, not that I think it's bad its just shockingmy only real critique is I think you should practice a diverse range of face shapes, despite being two different characters they both have a very similar head and face shape>>7739788thank you very much!
when is aizanon going to drop another masterpiece?
What happened to the guy who would only draw Akyuu?
>>7740646Aiza is gone...
Some faces, after a long slump
tips on drawing the circled area?the muscles and fat there are kinda confusing
>>7740658Check out PoseReference's tumblr. They have a lot of guidelines that trace the contours of the surface. I can show how I do it, if it sends you in any positive direction.
my mood slump is largely over. Felt a bit inspired today.
>>7740697Really dig your linework
>>7740692how long have you been drawing?How much do you practice?You are at a very competent level.
>>7740654very good faces. Maybe I should do simplified face studies.
>>7740701Thanks. I wish I knew how to bring in more variance. But changes to sensitivity of the tablet /size changes of the brush leads don't quite give the desired effect - often too strong.I'll experiment some more.
>>7740702>how long have you been drawing?about 3 years back in Highschool (I was high beg at most) + 12 - 13 years gap of no drawings + 3 years of digital only. Pic related was from the year I originally quit.>How much do you practice?I don’t practice that much. Most of the time I just learn by working on stuff I post, studying as I go. On an average week, I draw for about 15 hours.
>>7740719another one around the same year, this was a study.
>>7740719thanks for sharing.Good, but believable progress. Well done.
>>7740728Thank you. Some people here still don’t believe me. I have a folder full of trad stuff I did back in the day, most of it is just really cringy stuff I can’t even look at, including a comic where I ripped off Akira.
Anons, do you guys vary your topics that you draw, or do you stick to one thing? Like if you're working on drawing hawt anime coomies do you ever stop to draw a tree or a cat or some dragon or some shit? Because I've seen some professional grade artists absolutely drop the ball when they're required to draw the scrombloid that accompanies the heroine.
>>7740743I mostly draw coom, but I copy Morpho when I’m bored or do some landscapes with clouds.
>>7740743I vary what I draw. One day it’s one thing, the next it’s something else.
>>7740743>Because I've seen some professional grade artists absolutely drop the ball when they're required to draw the scrombloid that accompanies the heroine.Name 1
>>7740658These are notes from Will Weston. Pay close attention to the centerline and other cross-contour lines that clarify the forms. The white circled areas and the white indicated lines around the pelvis are attachment points. Here you also tend to see bone protruding, although it depends on position and how fat people are.
>>7740754Sorry I don't know their names or play any of these games.
>>7740803A few pages from Xiao Wei Chun's book.https://e-hentai.org/g/3412406/96f1edcc4d/Doing just a ton of short, 5 min max, torso drawings should help a lot.
>>7740803>>7740835These are amazing references. I'm not the original one who asked but thank you very much for posting them.
I decided to practice drawing poses, just trying to fill spots and connect random lines
>>7740852Mogs me
>>7739497>>7739497I'm not 100% accurate, but you can start thinking where the lights are coming fromthe flowers are really pretty
Pls give advice it’s my first time trying to do realistic values and I’m winging it
First time posting here.
After further inspection, I concluded the lack of practicing legs is making me incompetent again. I do think I can finish this one for once though.
>>7740917ayylmao, cool. i drew a bust today as well so maybe i'll try to help, though be warned, it's a bit of the blind leading the blind. i would recommend trying to use a different medium, personally. unless you're going for a cool stylized pen-y look, IRL values differ very subtly, in ranges from absolute bright to absolute dark. you have big patches of both light and dark but they don't really lend form to anything, but you are on the right track (for instance, the eyesockets of the bust appear to be darker because they're deeper-set, as are the 'creases' of the 'skin' on the bust.) tl;dr draw it again with graphite or charcoal
Rough sketch. Thoughts and crits appreciated!>>7740852Cute as usual anon!>>7740562Are you making a game or maybe a vn?
>>7740917i would also recommend a 3B pencil as well, because you can still get sharp lines with it but it has a greater degree of darkness than a regular 2B or HB or whatever. i'm not gonna be like hurrdurr go draw fruit until you can draw the things you wanna draw, draw the cool busts man. just try graphite for a change, apply darkness, blend it, erase for highlights, repeat. it's really that simple. you can just use your finger and a regular eraser at first, though you should ideally try using a kneaded erasergood luck anon WAGMI
End of my second sketchbook
>>7740987...
Right when I finally start having fun this weekend it's time for bed for waging tomorrow >>7740931>>7740939Appealchads
accidentally the edge of the paper
Practice was a lot of fun today
>>7740997The pumpkin fellow delights me.
first prompt of inktober done. 30 to go
>>7741085second prompt is going okay, how to fix the perspective on the hand and also does any of you know how to draw a realistic looking spider web?
>>7738578Beg best effort. Not much turned out good, but it's always a way of training
>>7741097is it usual for people to preemptively draw the prompts?
more hampton gestures this time on ipad
>>7741149i think so, because i know i will lose some time here and there so i might as well draw them in advance so if i miss a day its not a problem
y is this thread so dead
>>7741097>doing the prompts in September>not a single drop of ink used Um, sis...
>>7741212kek
>>7741164thats cool, do you draw the triangles first? >>7741207cuz no one poastin art>>7741212ssshhh dont tell anyone
>>7740646Dont know
what do i do if im OBSESSED with posting my art/WIP everywhere?
>>7740917I think you should get a stronger understanding of forms to start off. Like you have the values and planes established but the drawing is still very flat. Try to practice drawing contours that communicate form by drawing circles over one another and practicing what overlapping looks like. That would be especially useful around the hair. It’s also useful to make a value scale before starting any piece involving values so that your planning is smoother
>>7740997Like the other Anon said in a big fan of the pumpkin guy lol
>>7741251Keep posting your art if that's what motivates you.
>>7741217>thats cool, do you draw the triangles first?just adding it in from the reference as well but i think it's useful in order symbolize easy the weight and balance of a pose
>>7741296cool, guess i learnt something new from that
who can redline his face and chin please, i am so fucked rn
>>7741326look good to me
>>7741164looks expressive>>7741326don't see something clearly wrong with the facefinished (?). How's render/colors?
>>7741344>don't see something clearly wrong with the face>finished (?). How's render/colors?im just bothered by the face i guess, ill try to fix it somehow.i like how you changed the colors since last time, it looks much better right now. i see you didnt take any of my suggestions on folds, but thats okay, i dont mind
is 90 too old to start learning how to draw?
>>7741475Depends on how talented you are. If you are some permabeg like PBS, Pawell, Aizafag or Sharkchad you could be born with a crayon in your hand and a lifetime of practice wont help your lack of talent.One of the anons here is a very old but very talented anon who in less than a year mogs the whole board.
>>7739493>>7739834This is really promising, great work!
>>7741484Yeah, you need to change the color of that dildo.
>>7741495Real, thought it was scat at first glance
>>7741495make it browner
coulda done better on this lady but been learning the ukelele so wasn't in the right head state lol
