I realized something painfully obvious, but didnt really click until now. I return to basics every now and again for one reason or another, but on this go, i realized something about tutorials like these and why theyre so useful. Maybe i always knew, but forgot.Drawing on your right side of the brain, It can be a leap for a begginner, because youre abandoning shapes you know for abstract shapes. Shapes youre not to name. It can be a hard concept to wrap your head around. So, instead of teaching loomis, anatomy, etc, right off the bat, these tutorials are a great way to build confidence because theyre so simple. You can get a decent drawing with those basic shapes the left brain already uses.So, i think instead of bludgeoning a newbie with loomis studies, start out with these simple drawings for simple characters, to build confidence. Then, try something a little more complex.
This feels like bad advice for trolling.
>>7776843Yeah, im sure assholes are going to twist it here.All im saying is, see what you can draw with basic shapes. Im sure im going to get some dick drawings, but whatever.
>>7776838I still have some trace nintendo book from when i was a kid on my shelf. a treasure.
>>7776851Thats great. Having something like that so you can see where you started and the joy you had is a treasure. One of the reasons I return back to basics.
No need to overthink it.
>>7776870This shit doesn't work because it doesn't teach form which is far and away the most important fundie
>>7776843>>7776891These faggots do not draw.
>>7776838Crissssss
>>7776838Believe it or not, step one already filters a great number on /ic/ because it requires you to have the right proportion for the ellipses, and by the time you reach step three you need to know about overlapping forms in perspective especially in step 7 when you have to deal with the limbs.

>>7776838/beg/ here, I think OP has a point. I'm having a hard time understanding how to combine shapes.>>7777723Step one took a few trays but I think I got it right. I defiantly messed up the arms but at least I gave him a gun so he can rush B with the boys.Where can I find more of these? I'm more interested in drawing in a cartoon/retro gfx style anyway.
>>7781577Nice. Simple, and im entertained. Got a chuckle seeing him with a glock.Anyways, the pic has the websitehowtodrawforkids.comYou can also search for more "how to draw nintendo characters" or looney tunes, disney and the like.>>7777723Thats true, but with how simple these tutorials are, theyre going to funnel a newbie into an intuitive realization of one word. One word is going to come to mind when they stumble and compare their drawing. "Proportion".
>ITT: Draw the rest of the fucking owl.
>>7777723These still kinda work even if you do completely fuck up the proportions
>>7776838>So, instead of teaching loomis
>>7781627>howtodrawforkids.comThanks anon
>>7776838Absolutely. I feel pretty much anyone who started drawing as a kid got their hands on a magazine or similar with guides like this.Even if not, when you decide to branch out from doodling by your imagination, these are one of the first things you'll come across when researching how to draw. Not everyone decides to start drawing in their late 20s and immediately seeks full fledged courses. Of course I'm old now so it might be more likely the first resource a kid comes across might be a yt short of a /ic/ tier autist shouting about fundies so what do I know. Seems like a good way to get stuck in tutorial hell without getting a taste of the real fun of drawing. You are very right about the confidence too. Being able to see a recognisable image come to life by your own hand is huge. It gives you a peek through the door of potential.
