Should I learn how to draw on paper before trying to learn on drawing tablet? My friend gave me her old wacom one and I wonder if going straight to it is a bad idea.
>>7770528yes
>>7770528It really doesn’t matter. You will have to take the time to get used to the tablet again anyways
>>7770528niiiiiiiiiggggggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>7770478Well i guess it sucks, gotta get good.
I finally drew a face that doesn't look like shit on a canvas
>>7770546Considering this is ultimately my goal, I will just go to digital. Thank you.
>>7770478Wish I was drawing what I wanted to and worrying, instead of drawing things to appeal to ghosts while worrying and not having any fun.Keep it up, it's good stuff.
Does it look better now or did i fucked it up more? :(
>>7770478It's metal as fuck
>>7770595Treasure this feeling, if you ever feel like your art is bad again remember that's always an ebb and flow and the good times will come again.
>>7770614>>7770606Im happy you guys like it, tomorrow i will practice more.
I'd like to ask for advice and opinions on this please. I still can't improve my lineart, and the hair is the hardest part for me.
>>7770620what specifically bothers you about your lineart?it would help if u had examples of art that shows what you'd like ur lineart to eventually look like.
Repostan, I'd like some feedback on the perspective and what I did wrong.>>7770620You can see how I draw so you can decide if you want to listen to me or not.I like the colours, but I don't think line quality is the biggest problem here. The face is very flat and the boobs are too high up. Also the dark colours should be darker but I'm also guilty of pussiyng out of dark darks
>>7770622>This good in just 3 monthsI wanna die.
>>7770623Tf are you on about I've been drawing my whole life.If anything, most people would be better than me with the same amount of time put in
I drew this with my non-dominant hand to try to come up with something while being stuck, it may be one of the best things I have tried doing so far
>>7770635>This good in just 3 secondsI wanna die.
>>7770623>>7770624lmao
lo, my finest creation, that tiny head on the left. i’ve been trying to improve my art, starting with heads, and i can make some almost not trash ones like in picrel. i want to draw like the pic on the right, but i can barely get my own heads right, god forbid i try to copy someone else’s. it’s been so frustrating, even when i try applying what i’ve learned towards copying someone else’s head, i can’t even manage getting the basic shapes down accurately. everyone says to practice by copying, but i just can’t seem to do it, and idk how i’ll get better at that artstyle without copying it. so i’m feeling really stuck :/
>>7770646nvm that head is just trash, god i feel so embarrassed wtf
>>7770646Believe it or not there is someone worse than you with heads here.
>>7770649it could be way worsejust try copying and drawing and eventually you'll make some progress
>>7770651ya i’ll keep trying, it’s just so overwhelmingly discouraging when it keeps turning out lopsided and wrong though :(
>>7770655I mean i am a permabeg but sometimes you just keep doing things over and over and something clicks.In my case i get visited by a man in my dreams who advices me and tells me how to do stuff.
>>7770465Most beginners tend to draw stiff figures, so it's good for practing gesture so your figures have more movement/flow to them. Dont get stuck only doing quick figures. Some things you can only learn while doing longer drawings, so a mix of both quick, medium and long figure drawings is better.
>>7770655Discouragement is part of the process think of it as unskippable YouTube ads(Finding a mentor is YouTube premium)
>>7770646don't overthink it, do some copies and build intuitionyour copies don't need to be perfect (unless you want to, of course), but at least strive to make the next one better than the last
>>7770622I gladly take any advice, if I realized too late that the bust is too high and the face could be much more three-dimensional>>7770621I'd like to get as close as possible to Kohei Horikoshi's art style. I study realistic proportions and photographic references. If I need to say it, I've been studying daily for almost two years, and I'm not satisfied with my current level.
>>7770667rip, mental anguish it is then>>7770679o waow very cute art>your copies don’t need to be perfectbig advice. i’ll try my best.

>>7770646it's an appealing design, that head.Very Western, though.Anime is the only style where I recommend tracing to get a feel for how it's done.Anime heads are basically symbol drawing, but you gotta learn the symbols
>>7770738great style
>>7770738Are you the BDSM nun guy. Getting the same vibe from this
>>7770732D:
>>7770646CopyOverlay and compare Do it againYou have to fail and then try again. That's a minimum requirement. You're not going to get anything perfect on the first go yet. You have to learn to look at that failure and be able to do it again. Failure is good, it meant you tried and you can do it again
how do you properly measure a reference from a monitor when drawing traditionally
>>7770776No. Normally I draw lolis and cartoon girl. was just messing with some proportions. Warm up before going back to my usual thing
hey hey people
>>7770620For hair you wanna designate and consciously partition the different sections. In this case I decided blue is the top/back basically just a extension of the skull note the small partition ridge on the top of her head this is where your strands of hair origin from. Green are the bangs they all lead to that little hair ridge i mentioned previously. Purple is the ponytail. You'll have a much easier time doing lineart for your hair if its general shape is blocked in.
>>7770612flat chest erotic
>>7770791arms/hands really bring this one down, otherwise nice shape design
>>7770791Why do these shitty scratchy lines look better than anything I do
>>7770791I agree with >>7770797Fix the arm/hands and it would look even more amazing.
>>7770800Sorry but that's just what talent looks like.
>>7770800Learn one appealing head shape and how to place appealing eyes on it and people will forgive most other mistakes if the rest is more cartoony than realistic
>>7770790I put some robes on her.
anyone else have trouble with the positioning of the hip bone?

>>7771041fuck
another oneso sleepy
i think the worst part about learning any new skill is the regret of not starting earlier
>>7771061Luckily most children that draw are too fixated on shit like cartoons and anime, and probably don't start seriously focusing on learning until they're like...adults level. And by that point the only thing they ave on you is line control.
>>7771063>And by that point the only thing they ave on you is line control.This is so utterly untrue. They have a wealth of imagination drawing under their belt which is probably the hardest skill to develop as an adult.
did some normal perspective figs and thread challenge>>7771046nice one paigey, can you post the ref? i wanna draw it
>>7770423Nothing wrong, right guys,?
Are any of the coloso courses good or am k better off just doing my own studies
so when using the reference, I shouldn't try to copy the pose one to one? i should try to emulate the gesture?Im frustrated my shapes arent nearly as close.
ok last one for nowsome good old fashion tentacle rape no reference really, aside from the tentacle style and idea of it being used as a gag >>7771061at least if you start now, the regret is smaller than what it would be in the future. time will progress regardless, and today will be ten years ago pretty quickly. either you can give yourself tend years later glad that you've been drawing, or regretting another decades that's past you by. stick with it anon>>7771067b bleh I can't find it again, it was on that sketch daily ref site and if you're using the random mode you can't backtracksry:(
>>7771070you've been drawing the same shitty figures for what seems like years anondon't expect different results if you never do anything different(and disregard my comment if you do like your own results, ofc)
>>7771064The main reason I don't see this as a problem is because I always end up having to resort to using a reference to correct whatever schizophrenic errors my imagination whips up.
>>7771078>pose>gestureIsn't that the same thing?
>>7771091My progress is exactly as you would expect from a newbie, mate>yearsI am barely 3 years in.First year was nothing but sketchesThe shitty figures that you are complaining about are only for the last 2 years. Half of that was awfulNext year, I will shift to dynamic poses
>>7771091Also, this is a comIt was personally chosen by the commissionerThis was what I gave him to choose from. He choose the middle
>>7771097Good job on getting a commission 3 years in! This isn't a "free commission", right? They're actually paying you?
>>7771095my bad, my sense of time gets progressively fucked up as I get olderand I don't mean to shit on you either, the poses you usually pick are ambitious and interestingit's just kinda frustrating to see someone fall into the same errors repeatedly
>>7771098Yeah. My commission's been pretty regular for a year now
>>7771100Must be nice. I guess you haven't encountered your first drought year yet, so that's good.
>>7771097This is what 3 years of work gets you?
>>7771070Redline attempt for the areas I noticed. I actually think that with the rotation of her hand you should foreshorten the elbow area but I don't think I can draw what that should look like without a reference in front of me.I'm just a /beg/ so use your own judgement to decide what to use and how to make it look right.If I'm wrong though say something so I can learn from it.
>>7771102Half of my coms came from 1 single guyI just got lucky and I expect that luck to run out soon>>7771103You can do better. I am a lazy ass>>7771104ty.>foreshorten the elbow areaI'll see what I can do

“Just use the loomis method” “Just copy faces in the style you want to learn using the loomis method” Yeah well how the FUCK am I supposed to do that when no one even USES the loomis method? The proportions are always wildly different even if the head is in a neutral front-facing position. You guys just, what, draw lines and it works? How the hell am I supposed to do that? And don’t get me started on the “simplified” not-loomis method ways you guys draw. “Okay just make a circle, and then make a line” HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW LONG THE LINE SHOULD BE??? I just don’t get it at all, man.
>>7771142manga materials>>7771143TRUE!those angles are fun
>>7771159You use the Loomis method and just change where you put the guidelines retard
no idea what to do with shadows and im spending a bit too much time on this so i might just drop it>>7771151Im kneeling>>7771162>>7771131nice work awawa
>>7771167Yeah but how am I supposed to know when to even do that, and to change them by how much? Do I use a shorter line when doing that? How do I know how to modify it when changing the angle of the face? Idk. No one explains this shit, they just tell you to do the loomis method, draw some examples, and don’t bother explaining anything past how you’d do it for an ideal face in a neutral position.
>>7771176you could take a lighting ref and try applying it to your drawing, like one of krenz' homeworkshttps://asgg.notion.site/Color-pt8-b6943da07a2d44149428de0983f65d63
>>7771113cool as fuck
>>7771176Is that Kasha from Nioh? Very cute!
>>7771178>change them by how much? Do I use a shorter line when doing that?You just eyeball it and look at the result. Ended up too short? Lengthen it next time. And vice versa.
>>7771178the division of 3 equal parts of the Loomis method remains the same
i get upset 3/4 of a piece and go study then start a new one and repeat
>>7771159Gestimate. Loomis is nothing more than a suggestion, as his method is one of many. What may work for you, may not work for others, and vice versa. Some people stick strictly to theirs, some just use it as a way to *guide* you on your way to the final product. It's nothing to obsess over.
>>7771184woah what is this
trying the Mignola lineart
>>7771202
>>7771203
>>7771201it's an assignment from krenz color and light course:the idea is to have 3 refs: one for environmental light (top), one for character (mid), and one for pose / shadow terminator (bot)then you make something new with them
>>7771188it is yeaim upset by the lack of art
>>7771201i meant the link. i just thought it was rad that was more of a "woah this is cool"
>>7771176Why are you kneeling? Your drawings mog the shit out of me lol
>>7771184sure but that would require me to find a fitting reference for the pose firstdo you happen to have one lol
>>7771178The reason the markers are there (for some) is to also allow for facial diversity, if you're that type of artist. Some proportions appeal more than others. My method isn't Loomis, but it works for me.
>>7771209https://asgg.notion.site/timbougami-55225f161f2a472fbe5d694e21819735super helpful
>>7771204I like thin shaky linesI used to use brushes like pic related, but it takes too much time to draw the simplest thingNow I understand why mangaka and French comic artists use just a g-pen and don't care about shaky lines, it's faster
>>7771210good taste good style very cuteand im not at all better than you
>>7771211the pose is already pretty goodthe ref does not need to match 1:1, just give you an idea
It is the third time now after multiple breaks that I try to do figure drawing and I still haven't managed to even minimally comprehend gesture. I genuinely cannot even grasp a bit of it. Am I just supposed do 3 billion of these caveman drawings and my brain will understand how the fuck I'm supposed to use the line of action to guide the rest of the drawing?
Like what the fuck is even supposed to be the pose here it's literally just a person standing
>>7771218I mean thank you for the compliments but I fail to see how your drawings aren't better than mine by a mile? Like yours have clean lines, shading and color to them. I can't do any of that yet.
AAAAgghAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>7770788I get that reference.Recognized him even in the thumbnail before reading.Guess that's good work.
>>7771007>There's more to life than pornthese fuckers who moved up the Maslow's pyramid of needs while I am still in the lowermost.Weeping and gnashing of teeth!
>>7771113art
Can someone help me or am I not good enough for that yet
Ok I think I figured it out tyvm everyone
>>7771273There are a fucking waste of time if you are too beg to understand what you are even doing and what you are trying to portray with the limited time you have.Grab a book on figure drawing, Bargue if you cant copy for shit and learn how to draw a human body even if it takes you hours or days.Once you learn how to bring a figure drawing from beginning to end you should try to make it as humanly fast as possible during gesture (which is a retarded faggot esoteric bullshit word.Your timed drawings should be able to portray >Proportions>Biggest forms.>Exaggerated motion if there is (it will inevitably stiffen once you keep working on it)>Some way to identify where forms are facing (lineweight, basic shading, etc)
>>7771275So I just ignore how long I take and ignore gesture drawing for now? The proko course I'm using for figure drawing starts with gesture so I had imagined that's like fundamental to figure drawing and you need to learn it before doing anything else
>>7771280these all look pretty terrible, why are you doing a proko course if you don't have any fundamentals?
>>7771286Because people told me to. I'm also doing drawabox but sometimes I get tired of doing joyless drawing.
tomorrow, i will draw
Attempted to fix the breasts but now I'm gonna stop trying to turd polish and just study more for the next time I draw a girl. I might use this to practice doing lineart with a dip pen though
>>7771280>>7771288If a toddler learning how to write scribbled whatever the fuck it wanted instead of trying to perfectly replicate the letter would he ever learn how to write? Or would he always have dogshit ass handwriting that confuses everyone?Get your accuraccy up to grade and once you can copy what is in front of you then you can start.
>>7771300I think I'd rather not draw again, thanks
>>7771227thanks, ill try again some other dayelse ill jus refine the lineart instead and leave it at that
>>7771247just because it has color and some wack shading doesnt mean its better, you could do this too on digital
>>7771162man, I really love your works.I save every one I find. Keep it up!
>>7771280These are cute.>>7771305Don't listen to the crabs. If you are following a proko course they should've shown you their gesture method right? There is also no right or wrong way to do a gesture. You could start with a simple stick figure, maybe add a ribcage and a pelvis. Something like this.
another before bath drawingI don't think the guy on the right looks scared enough, plus I don't think I got the pelvis angle or proportion or something rightit still looks ok I think definitely not the worst thing I've drawn
>>7771322Yeah. It gets more into showing you how to get the figure drawing down bit by bit in the next parts, but the first one is just gesture. I think I'm just going to apply what drawabox says about just progressing to the next part even if what you're doing right now looks bad.
Messed up in a few spots but man, a dip pen is fun to use. I should probably get better paper in the future though, this is feathering and bleeding through quite a bit
>>7771312Bruh I cant get out of the sketching phase in digital, that shit confuses me really bad.
>thinking about drawing but not actually drawing
>>7771162nice
>>7771346nice, you're goodI want to learn how to draw animals someday

yoknow i think i’m actually prtty happy with how this one turned out. after so many failures :0 finally. i mean it’s simple (no shading or anything) and some things are off, i think the fivehead might be too big but maybe it’s just the lack of hair making it look bigger? plus i feel like the right nostril (her right) is a tad too high. hm maybe the upper eyelids are too high up as well? also no eyebrows :/ but i rlly like the eyes, yippee
