Tried to start an art project with my friend, but he has these random streaks of depression where he becomes despondent and I'm left going solo for days. Is it weird that this fucks my work flow up a bunch and I hate it? I have the skillset needed to make the art alone, but mentally switching from collaboration to solo all the time is really frustrating
>>7850570that's not weird, depressed people hate themselves bc they know how shitty they are to everyone around them
why it feels like the slop i make in <1 hour looks better than the slop i spend +4 hours
>>7850572That's fair. I kinda just don't know how to work with someone like this if they can just throw their hands up during any project and say sorry I can't work anymore

Here’re some trees. I want to get better at feeling good about what I paint. I agonize over the things and fiddle a lot. It’s annoying, and I think I could be happier.

>>7850576The perspective looks really off to me, how did you set it up?
>>7850599>>7850601For your sixth day, this is impressive. To nitpick, though, there are shadows under the crossed arms in the original that I don’t see in your copy. Other than that, I think that this is really good, I’m a little jealous.

>>7850547I feel bad for people who are going to complain they're not in OP after getting 3 drawings in there. Anyway. >>7850583Your censoring is not hiding it. But it looks like you're not zooming out considering your screenshot. Maybe that's why.
>>7850547>>7849789>>7849816Thank you!>>7849908That is some high praise, but I am far from the best :)>>7849973I usually spend about 30 mins to an 1 hour
>>7850640Yeah some things ended up looking wrong. I started with a small sketch to fit the vanishing points and the room inside the canvas. But after I did the basic shape of the room and main objects, but after that I resized the room to fill the whole canvas and stopped using perspective all around. It's a very bad process I guess.
>>7850661I think that might be a good place for you to progress. In Keys to Drawing Chapter 2, there’s an exercise where you draw a box (not what you think), and you draw a spectrum of different shades from total black to total white. It’s a fantastic way to get into shading, and I think it might be a good next step for you.You can find a PDF of Keys to Drawings online, or by reading the sticky.
I haven't posted here in a while, mostly because I haven't felt the need to, but I've been seeing massive improvements lately.
>>7850669Also, you can see the distinct pencil lines in your drawing. Try to make it look like one distinct color. Once again, KtD Chapter 2 has a great exercise for this where you copy a black and white photograph of a woman.
>>7850576good but you need to add more stuffrandom computer, cables lying around, some tool from the ceiling, more indications on the groundkeep going
Shit think I've hit a plateau.
>>7850674Dang that is pretty baller nice desu ne

>>7850679I don't really see the need for it. I will add more details to the floor though, as this is meant to be a cargo spaceship. Something like picrelated
I don't remember if I posted this here for not.
I have tried something other than boos.Still doing circles in boxes and practicing lines.She was surprisingly hard, both because I referenced an NES sprite that I had to represent with more clarity and because I could not do the hand and arm properly.I also tend to view my drawings from a more zoomed out perspective and when I post them opening them to their full size tends to blow them up really hard
>>7850618kino
>>7850614>insecure>no (you)sIt’s over.>>7850665Lit frog. Love the color choice, actually
>>7850694Thanks anon
>>7850665>I usually spend about 30 mins to an 1 hourI'm starting to feel a bit ashamed of myself currently, because I'm not taking more than 15 minutes per drawing most of times. Even though it's mostly sure it'll give me a better result if I spend more time on it, I think I feel some kind of insecurity of it not being worth the time or fear of losing interest in the drawing middleway. But everytime I look at your drawings it makes me itching to try being more patient. >>7850687It seems all correct, sincerely. Now try her front view.
>>7850700I did this a few weeks ago, but I'll try doing another.
>>7850666Gotcha. Having consistent perspective would make those diagonal walls much easier to figure out. Also, I think the vanishing points you picked aren't the best. I tried mapping it out and at that scale I kept running into distortions. I'm not that experienced with perspective and don't know how to fix it, sadly. The points I pick are always really awkward unless I copy from something.
I covered her up since the sketch
So uh... I don't know how to put this, but a certain someone has been helping me with Hat Kid drawings lately.https://baraag.net/@casytay/115567736955047313
>>7850743I used a 2 point perspective for it so the room ended up a little distorted. But that wasn't the issue. I just really got lost at some point. The fuel tanks are all a little wrong in some way or the other and I'm only now noticing I forgot a pillar on the left wall. There are some other mistakes too that I was too lazy to fix, but what's done it's done. This is only meant to be a reference sheet/concept art after all, not a final product.
I CANT DRAW

>>7850195Ena.>>7850552You should do that more often, looks nice.
>>7850618Very nice.>>7850789It might help, but you need sources of inspiration too.
>>7850843Thanks anon. I really like these drawings, but I really think it would go a long way if you tried to make drawings like pic rel that use boxes/forms to draw these animals. I see a lot of potential in your work, more so because you draw a lot, but you have to take the time to sharpen up your fundies. Like think about how much more powerful those beaks could be if they were a box with texture around it
>>7850846I just do those quickly in pen to capture gesture and caricature, I do more detailed work when I use pencil or digital.
>>7850848I feel you anon, im the same way I’m just saying in general

Amazing>>7850843Yeeh! my favorite doodles!>>7850088>amputees running for energy while guarded by policeThe idea comes from Frank Miller's Batman, when Flash is condemned to run on a giant wheel to create infinite energy till he dies. The amputee thing comes from a mistake, I thought an anon did an amputee figure that it wasn't, then a very weird movie called Boxing Helena that I hated but mesmerized me in a traumatic way: The idea of a man imprisoning and destroying something that he loves. But also from the cruelty of our reality, where people are subjected to this authoritarian violence by the judicial and prison system: Legal BDSM violence perpetrated by "institutions of law and order". I'm a very sensible person, cruelty traumatizes me, and I can only cope with this medieval reality we're all living in, by turning all this horror into erotic fantasies. Confronting in fantasy the contradiction of a man subjecting the object of his most sacred desire and life meaning (a beautiful woman to fall in love with) to the most cruel treatment just because a normative orders it. Those horrors in our present time drives me insane, to know that I have to live in that world, I can only turn those horrors into lustful fantasies to exorcise them, or break down in a tearful depression in a dark corner.

>>7850926cheesegr8twt
>>7850959With the bodies you’ve got the right idea, they jut need to look neater and more proportional. Work on your lines, circles/spheres, and cylinders. Just try to warm up with everything you’ve drawn here, but as individual elements. Try to also draw your shapes and forms as a consistent size, like for example some thighs are much wider and longer than others.
>>7850978Thank you. I definitely want to work on them. I was thinking of looking at Figure drawing design and invention to give me some structure for doing gestures.

>>7850998Nice YuGiOh's
tried doing a chibiis it bad practice to not do sketches? i found that i do better just setting up a rough base with shapes and then work and edit around thatim very uneducated when it comes to art
>>7851023nothing wrong with that process
Hi, I just started drawing this week. I wanted to do a colored picture to get a feeling for every step of the process to start out with, but needless to say I have to do a ton of practice on all fundamentals.One thing that bothered me is that I am reasonably happy with my sketches, but once I try to do the lineart, it all goes to shit. It's like all the flaws in perspective and proportions suddenly become apparent.I guess my question is if that is simply the normal experience because my brain autocorrects for the already present flaws in the sketches, and finalizing it simply removes that benefit, or if there's something else I am missing. In any case, I will go back to grinding sketches, but any specific tips or suggestions are welcome.

>>7850854You are better than the frog poster. It is easy to draw birds, insects, frogs - because the observer is more forgiving. The human form is under extreme scrutiny and requires much more skill to get right.
>>7851038The frog poster does draw humans well too, no?
>>7850771Thank you fren
>>7851038Frogs have their own geometry, which is just as hard to pull off. It's roughly the same amount of skill, and it's easily transferable and translatable. Besides, he's posted a lot of other stuff numerous times. His art is great. He mainly just likes drawing frogs, and that's okay.

I drew hands from my imagination. The ones that turned out well were drawn from a reference. I'm tired of it all, it's complete crap, nothing ever works from my imagination. Even the basics just come out crap.
Another one, this was difficult. I my foliage is not detailed enough, I need a speical brush for it.
>>7851350Draw more from ref and you’ll draw better from imagination. It’s a process. You have to have a strong visual library. Keep your expectations humble, drawing from imagination is difficult.
>>7851368Try using a tootbrush for some free splatter

>>7850753You should probably read either morpho's or loomis' head anatomy books to better understand what the person helping you is trying to say.All the face proportions alignments, how and why they connect, they're all there. You might struggle if you don't understand the foundation after all.
anyone else feel like they’re the slowest artist in the world? doing a sketch and getting it right even takes hours sometimes
>>7851429my drawings take 1-2 months. last painting has been going for 7 months now
>>7851429Good things take time. You don't want to end up spamming garbage like 7851412
>>7851435be nice to her
i feel like my boxes and perspective have become decent enough (bad, but basic understanding, my boxes are all correct and I can draw basic 3d structures that work in perspective when checked) that the real thing that's keeping my human figures flat and formless is i don't know anatomy for shit and have never studied it because all of my drawings are "gestural" so combining the perspective and ability to draw shapes in 3d with my zero anatomy knowledge is either turning up with hideous blocky bodies with poorly aligned features/proportions or I just don't use 3d at all and it turns out formless. regarding this, saying I know boxes and bare minimum perspective, who would be the simplest author to start with for getting anatomy down?
>>7850547Am I intermediate or still beg?
>>7850574Because you still don't master the basicsof renderingSo a basic painting or sketch is going to look better than a finished painting, because you still have to study color theory, light and shadow, composition, anatomy and perspective
>>7851081>>7851092I'm new to /ic/ in general. I literally don't know where I'll go once 4chan finally dies. It's the only place on the internet where I can happily be retarded.
>>7850547Why do the same books keep getting recommended, no matter where you ask, even AI?>drawing on the right side of brain>keys to drawing>loomis>bridgeman>something else that I probably forgotAnd it's always a book from 20th century, very rarely something older or newer. Why is that?
>>7851435You will APOLOGIZE NOW
>>7851447Mid-Beg
>>7851443Medical diagrams would be the simplest.Taco, Xiao Weichun, Loomis are good. Stonehouse is great but has no exercises, must read regardless. Morpho's good but the models look like your typical dogshit swedish mentally ill abominations (old man head with tits with asexual and weird proportions).Same-ish content, different constructions and styles, you are not supposed to read only one you are supposed to read all of them.
>>7851459Not even high beg?Shieeet. What's considered intermediate so I can know what level I need to attain by next year?
>draw and doodle around for the first month no problem>suddenly have no idea what to draw and what to doI don't even know, do I do a course or a book or something, what happened even.
>>7851464thank you! i guess I'll read all then once I have the time
>>7851469draw monke
>>7851467
>>7851475Oh ok thanks that makes more sense. So basically if I'm better at anatomy and perspective I can be intermediate at least? And once I'm able to complete a single piece I can work on becoming advanced ? Honestly if you guys would post examples of each tier it would help a lot. At least the intermediate to advanced and pro. I'm assuming pro is DaVinci or lee bermejo or something right ? I'm guessing advanced would be like maybe Jim lee tier ?
>>7851447>>7851467Your clothes and folds are very good, that's clear. That would definitely be qualified as high-beg to low-int. Nevertheless, your anatomy is off (though on a good track to become better), and you'll definitely need to work on your perspective. That's the weakest part of your drawing, and it flattens the whole image. A mix of low-beg and low-int, in all honesty. You've got some good stuff, but there are flaws.

>>7851482but study what, I dont wanna draw cubes all day. I really wanna draw body and face but so far thats been hard
>>7851494Just overlay the studies dude. You have an objective goal in this case, it's not like you're making an original drawing.
>>7850547Would this be considered beg or pro? It's from a insta artist I follow
I just finished Marc Brunet's 30 day challenge and I felt I did everything else pretty good but when it come to the last day when I tried to construct the skull it just went horribly. Do I have to start over now lol
>>7851429Nope, I'm the fastest at being bad, son. None can match me!
>>7851506he tagged one of my least favorite drawings of mine ever. grim
>>7851518Hahaha this why I love the skill that we have. We can put down the most deranged degenerate intrusive thought to paper hahaha
>>7851512adv
Lots of good art
It's Reimu's turn
>>7851507Get a reference, maybe an interesting pose or difficult angle, study it, deconstruct it, learn something from it that you feel you're missing.You'll learn both body and face.
>>7851518My hero..
>>7851544hmm, maybe I'll try that. I'm not sure how to deconstruct something (I'm gonna guess into basic shapes). But at worst it'll be me drawing from reference and trying to copy it well.
>>7851491I dont think im int yet but thanks
I think the head turned out kinda okay-ish. I think chommangs videos are not too difficult to understand, but getting in on paper properly is a different story
So good...
>>7851491>mid beg>demonstrates some grasp of one or two fundamentals Those are mid /beg/ no?
a crazed cultist kind of thing. what do you guys think?
>>7851561Never mind that , i think they are low beg if you take into consideration the fact that they are using a reference or a construction reference. Nigga that's nuts, whoever made this >>7851475 is my fucking hero.
I'm a proud permabeg.
couldn't find the fun in the shapes funschizo loves so much so I made my own fun with it
>>7851576That doesn't look fun. Draw more 2d circles to have fun.
>>7850547sneed
>>7851570That's sad
>>7851561No, a High-Beg should be good a copying, I wouldn't ask a beg to draw something from imagination, that's unfair. General /Int/s should be good at drawing stuff from imagination, figures, poses, and creative shapes.(even if they are using some kind of reference) Those listed posts are good examples of creative design and characters, tho, some seem to be high begs, and others mid /int/s.
>>7851586It's just a hobby.
>>7851576A true and proud werewolf... God I hate them smug cocky basterds
>>7851584Cute
>>7851447>>7851589I drew everything from imagination btw. I didn't use any references. Put me in low int atleast
>>7851589>They show competence in one or two fundamentalsAnatomy>incomplete anatomy using a referenceUsing Perspective>wrong perspective but an attempt was made>show competence in one or two fundamentals>mid/beg/The head and the frog are garbage, just people spamming drawings for no reason, i think normies call these doodles and having fun. If it hurts your feefees then change the chart tiers to /semi-pro/ instead of /im/
>>7851600Firstly, drawing from imagination when still a beg is not a good idea. Doing studies from ref is a must if you want to become better.Secondly, why do you care where others place you on some arbitrary leveling scale? Just draw stuff and become better.
>>7851600Or in that case actually looking at intermediate art I understand why I'm mid beg. Fair enough , I will learn perspective
>>7851604I train using references but when I attempt a finished drawing I try using what I remembered. But if that's a beg trap I'll stop doing it
>>7851604Art critique is important in order to advance. Is there a discord I can join so I can chat with this community without having to solve a gay ass captcha each time?
>>7851610Using references is good,tracing is good, copying is good. The chart is expecting too much from people in 2025.
>>7851510How am I going to get better if I just overlay?
>>7851602That's the issue, a normie can't discern quality from a doodle. The frog poster is clearly an advanced artist, you can tell by those doodles, he's just giving us little crumbs of his real power level, if you know, you know.
>>7851525How is this adv the anatomy is weird as hell
Good job everyone
>>7851617 i don't draw i just critique
maybe I should try drawing completely from imagination and see what I cook
>>7851604The problem is being self taught is hard when you don't know what curriculum to follow and what to do to improve when you get zero feedback
>>7851616I'm saying overlay your drawing after you're done to spot the differences. There's no point in asking people here what went right or wrong because your reference image is the only truth that matters.
>>7851622Even permabegschizo and russianschizo?
I tried doing lahla this time and I experimented with perspective. so I used construction lines to make the body into a sphere.it feels a little bit like that infamous freiren undershot but I simply could not visualize the proper placement for the headband.
>>7851635A sphere in perspective, now there's a bold choice.
>>7851606>I will learn perspectiveOh for sure, that's VERY important actually.
>>7851624Famous "artists" have tried that before, be aware of the consequences of such bold and careless actions:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h4-2HRHaHI
>>7851626Asking for a complete curriculum is not really possible if you're self taught. There's a famous social scientist, Lev Vygotsky, that places learn in three stages. First, the stage of knowing, which means what you're able to do on your own. Second, a stage for when learning using aid (a teacher, fellow students, books, etc), which means slowly acquiring skills to assimilate into what you've already learned. The last stage is the place of not knowing, which is what's not possible at all. Aiming for what's not possible by managing the second stage is one way of teaching yourself in any subject. Try placing stuff into categories of what you know for certain how to do, like how to draw a straight line, a circle, a cube in 3D (be critical, anon), and another category of things you don't know. Building a bridge between the two is the key.Also, if you want to find other people to draw with, seek out a Facebook page based in your country, city or community. Then say "I love to draw, and I'm interested in learning more and becoming better. Are there anyone here up for that?"It's that easy.
>>7851648"Don't wait ten years to start drawing from imagination."My sides are in orbit.
>>7851649That's a pretty answer actually
>>7851648Wait do people draw from references all the time I usually draw exclusively from imagination...
>>7851635>>7851660>I usually draw exclusively from imagination...
>>7851663Uhm... Wait people can't visualize spheres and shit in their heads? I can simulate entire 3d models from imagination, though some muscles are a bit blurry
>>7851654>"It is better to be king of your silence than a slave of your words"
>>7851628Ah ok, I thought you were telling me trace. Thanks for the advice! If I notice that I’m getting better, what would you recommend doing then?
So many arts in here
>>7851450this is a hand of a fully finished drawing i've madethe reference was a picture of my own with edited proportions; i guess my lightining falls flat bc my room doesn't have anything spetacular going on, but i fail in using darker colors too. the anatomy is probably bad tooim just not sure what else i can do to improve, i feel almost stagnant, my paintings seem like they have no weight and logicbut now that im writing this maybe i should use darker colors lol
>>7851663but I had a reference though.It just wasn't from this angle.
>>7851629no, not them
I want to make my own card game
>>7851624Completely from imagination is impossible. Now if you mean starting from imagination, but checking reference when needed, then yeah, you could do it.

I saw one artist that follows me progress and I am demoralized. He was so good and only got better. He pours his heart out only to draw grotesque porn.It fills my heart with dread.
>>7851854He drawsYou don't
>>7851855He draws with talent.I dont.
>>7851856And he's probably drawing 6 hours a dayyou're drawing 30 minutes
>>7851856>He draws with talent.Noes, he draws with passion... What's your passion anon? Search for it, deep inside your heart.. And when you find it, hold it tight, and never let it go..
>>7851861>you're drawing 30 minutesYeah, in a week. Then this retard bitches about not making progress while dragging others down.

How do people apply base color on things that are not uniform or enclosed by like a big thick line? Like for example, hair that are being blown over by the wind, with tiny strands of hair blown all over the place. Some of the things I have seen are selection tools, magic wand, or just drawing the borders of the tiny hair with like a small brush to enclose it. I feel like every time I did use like selection tools, it always had like uncolored spots or going over the lines. A lot of the coloring tutorial I see from courses just skip the actual base coloring process and went toward shading. Is there a trick? Do I need to mess around with the sensitivity of the magic wand / selection tool, or maybe I’m not handling it correctly. I am especially curious with those no lineart artstyle because I couldn’t imagine how you do base coloring without lines.
Admit it, I'm the best here.
>>7851938If your trying to color the lines themselves I got a guide for you. https://www.tumblr.com/thenamelessdoll/805095743611404288/for-newbie-digital-artists-such-as-myself-what?source=share

>>7851993>beg is the best thread, active wiseagreed, alt has really good artists but no one uses it anymore. Kind of makes me sad. Only problem with this thread are the dunning kruger no draws. I think a lot of the better artists on the board are migrating to beg just because its the only thing that's still alive

alt is shit because western art is shit. Newgrounds is two blocks down, people that don't like anime just don't belong, it's like that meme picture of the round outsiders invading the squares except outsiders lack the intelligence to draw so they eventually leave as well.

stupid permabeg thread
>>7852231It's not a flex, it's a goal. Just like how direct drawing everything without construction is an end goal for many artists. Why would you want to waste time finding and piecing together a bunch of references to bring your idea to life when you can do it from imagination?
>>7852231what is the real purpose?
>>7852242Most of the posters here are int/s lately
how to fix the back arm
>>7852243Imagination is just drawing without constructions or any real method. I think it's insipid
>>7852251Uh, no. You can use imagination to draw simplified box mannequins or whatever and then supplement the anatomy with references if that's your limit. It's not all or nothing.
>just draw cubes correctly>just draw straight lines>just understand perspective>just understand anatomy>just paint correctly>just be talentedThe bastards know what that means.
>>7852249Draw the same pose from the front, to understand how the hand in the back works when unsheathing the sword. It's a good exercise to beging to see your drawings in a 360° "god creator vision" in your head.

>>7852249This >>7852262 is right though. If you can't find a perfect ref, sometimes you have to reverse engineer it yourself somehow.These are fun exercises, I'm pretty sure you can do it. It's just basic construction and perspective, it doesn't have to be detailed or anything. Just be playful and let your mind get around the shapes little by little.>>7851102> I'm glad you like it. the second panel on this is quite lovely by the way! pointing out the denial of having no hands, love itThank you My deer Fren!

>>7852379i dont think about those bro, i just draw. but thank you
>>7852473cute!!
>>7852519Did you use a ruler to make such long straight lines? I always struggle with them when doing similar exercises, but I doubt whether I should use a ruler or not. Idk if it's whether it's something that I'll be able to do with more practice and therefore should persist without ruler, or if the long guiding lines not being perfectly accurate defeats the point of the exercise altogether?
>>7852528Yea I did. I practice lines without them, but when doing perspective studies in particular, they make things easier because 1. They reinforce how to draw a straight line2. They’re quicker, so you finish the study faster without having to deal with the pressure of making lines that aren’t straight I think with perspective studies, you should use a ruler. If you’re drawing from life, ref, etc, maybe try to freehand. It’s really up to you, but work on doing them without one either way.
>>7852529Thank you for the replyI think your reasoning makes sense, I'm gonna try to use a ruler in perspective studies too!
>>7852532You’re very welcome anon

>>7852264So fucking kino
Did a few thingies from the learn drawing in 30 days book. I like them :), and I'm always suprised by how long these simple drawings take me holy shit and while they're nice and probably teach some fundamentals in a more fun way other than "draw boxes dude", I really wanna start drawing people / heads but that feels insanely hard
>>7852568These are good. What you learn about perspective and form from drawings like these will make it much easier to draw people and heads. It may feel too hard, but you have to draw them for it to become easier, and no better time to start than now.
>>7852572Thanks anon, and good point, saying "I'm too beg for this I can't do it yet" is probably a somewhat dumb mindset, I think it's probably just alot of shit to learn so knowing where / how to start with it is the hardest part.
>>7852495FWIW, I think these look good!>>7852559Wow, the right panel looks stunning! Some of the construction lines on the left seem a little confusing as a beginner, but overall this looks great!
>>7852579Thanks anon! Probably gonna be busting out perspective studies all day, it’s actually a lot more fun than I would’ve thought
>>7847852>>7847844>>7847861Here's my Keys to Drawing 3rd Lesson: Drawing a green pepper.
>>7852576Yea knowing how to start is hard. You should start by asking what type of art you want to make and how much information is necessary to do that. For example someone learning anime doesn’t need as much anatomy knowledge as someone making a marvel comic. Once you have a good idea of this then moving forward will be easier
>>7852495Seconding the other anon. These do look good, and they’re a very interesting approach to Loomis. Keep us updated!
i dont like this one
>>7852579>>7852591Thank you! That style is actually from one of the FWAP pages but is only shown briefly. I assume most people overlook it because it's needlessly complex, but I feel like the extra details and separation of the face from the head gave me a better point of reference than simplifying
>>7852598What about it bothers you?
>>7852603i think it was the head and a little the arms and tits. is this better?
>>7852602That's some good food for thought; I'll have to go back and try out those designs.
>>7852598>>7852604TIFA MY BELOVED
>>7852611w-who.. whos tifa?? did i accidentally draw someone?
>>7852589I can see that you incorporated shading into your drawing; bonus points there! It also looks like you're avoiding symbol drawing, so that's good.However, I think that you could bring out the edges of the pepper a bit more. Also, the light reflecting on the pepper isn't as apparent as it could be, IMO. Additionally, some of your shading seems to either go outside of the bounds of the pepper or not quite reach the bounds. Looking back at my attempt at this exercise (pic related), I did the same thing.
Here goes my very first post.Not quite done yet, boobs feels off, but not sure how to fix them. Was too busy fussing over her face.

>>7852655I really need to start approaching sketches in a non-retarded way like this
>>7852659Kurapika tops btw
nyo...
>>7852661nyoooooo
and a quick before bath sketch
also bonus funny pic due to the nature of sketchbooks
Post pencil cases if you got em
why to
>>7852660Oh yeah it super helps. I find one of the most important things in art is putting a filter over the brain's idea of what the final thing looks like.
>>7852684>>7852682>quick before bath sketchI swear to God, this anon is probably the cleanest motherfucker on this entire site. How many times a day to you bathe, like honestly? Is it an obsessive thing?
You don't draw
Broke my fucking brain with this one>>7852691I have so many supplies I just use ziploc bags lmao
>>7852696I wish.
>>7852695it varies, normally 1-2 times but other times it can go up to four or fiveit's partly bc it's emotionally regulating, I run the bath hot so it's painful getting in but doesn't cause any lasting damage. I also feel gross in my body so bathing helps ease that discomfort. it's probably psychologically unhealthy, but it keeps me clean even when depressed so I'll take it
>>7852716???
>>7852717Reminder to report posts that violate U.S. law.
Did my lines and circle exercises as usualI tried to use my experience drawing boos and circles to draw a different circular characterI tried getting that effect I see in pictures where light reflects off of a polished surface but that stuff still escapes me. I think I should probably just stick to working on my linework for a bit. Or maybe finally read a book like loomis which keeps getting recommended to me
>>7852537Saved
>>7852721keys to drawing > loomis
how do you all approach fixing underlying flaws in your process? for example, when i draw faces, i find that i often skew them because i draw the center line off or dont catch how one side is just way too big. i like adding the facial features and rendering the details, but it obviously doesnt look as good as it could if i caught those flaws earlier on.should i be splitting my time closer to like 70-80% studying/grinding to overcome the flaws? i do find it mildly discouraging putting in more than an hour into something and it not coming out as good.
>>7852734L _ _ _ _ S

>>7852752any particular artists or books you studied that help a lot?
>>7851145attempting B>>7852458the crab skill for the best dialogue options!>>7852338your figures communicate movement and intention so well. Simple, clear lines, good use of line weight and clear shadows... something I really need to practice. The master shows himself by using less to express more.>>7852264really good and appealing as always. I just worry you got good too fast and now you will stick to the style that gave you success and satisfaction. I have a hard time leaving my approach as well, but I know I will plateau forever if I don't dare something new.
>>7852784I have to add that I am aware to not be in any position to critique. Just doing this consciousness-dump writing in this late hour...
>>7850565>>7852752I like the almost paper cutout style and I think the noise over top really helps make it feel cohesive
>>7852165I already did, not sure what else you would want me to post. I don't have any finished work other than prebeg stuff from 3 years ago. You can have two recently failed sketches from imagination, first one is from a few days ago, second one from two months ago and I used a ref for the hair on that one. And I guess a failed value study also from 2 months ago and a Len sketch study from exactly one year ago, since those are the most "finished" drawings I have from last year.https://files.catbox.moe/inu8h1.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/00ndy2.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/xee2i7.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/w8h2ts.png
>>7852793Pedophiles can't get better, sorry.
>>7852783To me, Loomis, Xiao Weichun, maybe Nakamura Seiich, and Michael Hampton, mostly because they teach basic perspective and anatomy, both go together, because you're using basic 3d shapes to represent the human body, so a face is a basic 3d shapes, same with the torso and the rest of the body, you learn basic anatomy and how to rotate 3d shapes at the same timeJust learn perspective, learn how to rotate a cube, then transform it, and then make 3d dollsI don't really draw anime anymore, but learning how to draw a 3d doll is the hackIronically, I'm just using basic 2d shapes right now because I want to learn how to paint, and I don't know composition, so I'm just using the lasso tool, but I used to draw anime (pic related)
>>7852784HOLY SHIT, This is amazing!!!! Wow
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I just finished Marc Brunet's 30 day challenge
>>7852796is that a challenge?
>>7852805I like you dollfag. Please just stop using that godfuckingugly brush and change the way you draw faces.
>>7852796Explain all the successful loli and shota artists then. I'm just too retarded.
>>7852813They are talented.
>>7852813Deal with Satan.
>>7852807I may change my brush to something more reasonable at some point in time (think within the next five thousand years or so), but I will keep drawing the creepy doll faces, there's a reason people call me Dollfag after all.
>>7852807What's wrong with the brush
>>7852834His shading and lineart are all over the place because he uses a brush with pressure tied to opacity and then proceeds to messily apply it causing it to have a dozen different shades of grey on a single area.Fucker can shade but refuses to for some god forsaken reason. His work would look so much cleaner and more appealing if he picked 3 shades of grey for shading and stuck to them with a hard brush.
>>7852802Now join his art school which is better than most universities btw
>>7852342ohh i cant wait XDi love ur crab drawings btw>>7852784hmmm sex>>7852202hihihih thanks :3nice faces>>7852797adorable>>7852097i cant even draw a box all i draw is tits
>>7852797>loomisany books specifically of his or basically all of them?>xiaoi did a study a bit ago from one of the pages but the translation and censorship kinda put me off. i'm sure it's good thoughanything in particular you might recommend for studying perspective? scott robertson or w.e
>>7852802>tells the thread he's finished a months long course>doesn't post his drawingsNever change, /ic/.

>>7852873He seems to an android
>>7852870If you want Fatchouli so bad go ahead and throw me some money and I will think about it :)
>>7852873>>7852877Yeah, it's hard to be more precise when using the lasso tool, that's why I use different colors for the fingers too, so it's easy to read
>>7852880:)

Not my best work, but what do you guys think?
>>7852918move the eye on the left closer to the edge of the head
>>7852919That always fucks with me because I usually try putting one of the eyes close to the nose
Doing the learn to draw in 30days book. Was originally about stacking boxes but decided to just start adding shit. I know I lost my vanishing points and some of the shadows don't make sense but was good to kinda understand what to do from imagination. Also didn't really understand what to do with the red for some objects, it started out as just the right side of the main column but I don't really know what direction I was aiming for.

>>7852917> Any other suggestions are appreciated!not a copymaster but if you want color focus on the color. Your face is too green and desaturated. It's a hard image, but it's obvious that the color isn't similar, but you still proceed to draw eyelashes anyway.try to copy this image instead.
>>7852951Made me chuckle at the end, very nice hehe
>>7852961Thank you
>>7852961>too greenHow can I tell that it’s green? Is it like a cool color instead of a warm color ?
>>7852976>How can I tell that it’s green?You can't, it's just how I call it. But you can tell that it is a bit different and try to fiddle with it to make it more similar.
>>7852986Thanks>but you still proceed to draw eyelashes anyway.I have a bit of a perfectionist streak so it’s better to just draw it than focusing on that specific thing for hours. Then I can just ask for help and fix it up.
Slow going is still going.
>>7852976>it like a cool color instead of a warm color ?more kind of like that.

gonna make a series of 'comics' out of youtubers... forgot to draw the great gazoo in the bg here.
why don't people on youtube do more skits like those on tik-tok and insta? It's boring drawing a face or body looking at a camera, we need to see people interacting like in comic strips

Hey,I’m trying to draw and color in a style similar to the pictures on the leftI’m not sure what kind of lineart or coloring/blending I should use and how to get that subtle texture.I can’t tell if it comes from brush, the canvas/paper texture, or some effects later onIt seems pretty common in a lot of Japanese art I see on Pinterest.I’m using CSP btw>>7853199nice colors >>7853143It's for beginners, if you wanna get good you have to go trough absolute slog like 5 hours of some great artist rambling about his days working for dream works
>>7852802PYW
I'm gonna go insane the moment I have to pass this onto a bigger better paper to make a proper illustration.....
i am giving upi get no rewards from drawing
Anyone else picked up drawing because they have never really had any hobby?I'm following this 30-day book, but I'm still not sure if I really like it, but I continue grinding through it. Maybe it's due to my internet addiction, I don't know.
>>7853227>>7853230PYW
>>7853227>no rewardsSpoken like a true retard. These types of cunts won't know the satisfaction of learning to draw big titty goth mommies. Shame.
>>7853234Here you are, kind man.
>>7853217Thanks but do you have any words on how I could refine it?
>>7853250idk what the refined version looks like in your mind so I am gonna give you the most boring answer everStudy/Copy the works of people you like Once you do enough of that, you’ll start to see the problems>Oh, my colors are too dull too samey, too much shadow, too many highlights.Then look up tutorials or books specifically for those issues.
>>7850644>so where is Proko?At home cuddling with skeley
>>7853008>but I can't control my brush shapeWell draw a lot more with that brush until it clicks for for you>>7853122Maybe look on Pinterest or artsation
>>7853217I did a very quick rendition to help you out, anon. It's because the artist uses a mix of a hard round brush, and also the same brush, but with a much lowered opacity. Your replication uses an airbrush, while great, leaves a matte surface texture. Also, the light wraps around the leg and anatomy, which is why is especially visible on the knee cap.That's just my two cents.
>>7853265Thanks a bunchI'll ditch my blending brush and try the lower opacity one.Also great colours man, it's looks really vibrant
>>7853267Thanks, anon. You'd be surprised by how much you can learn by osmosis through doomscrolling on instagram. My algorithm is filled with rendering tutorials and color theory as of late. Not complaining.
>>7853217waterpen, Oil pastel (オイルパステル), Watercolor S. (水彩S), "Reverse soft brush". The lineart looks like a marker that was added after they finished painting it because not everything has a line, ganbare!

>>7853286>just wash my face and go to the fucking gym?That's a good start ackshually..: "Mens sana in corpore sano"
>>7853286Have you considered stopping being such a massive failure on all fronts? Alternatively consider quitting this hobby and maybe quitting living altogether if you're such a miserable faggot
>>7852180>>7853286Nta There are no get good quick tricksat least not for the long term.You have to eat your veggies and do your reps to eventually get where you want to be.If you’re too miserable, then just draw the stuff you want to draw, using references.Study and grind when you actually feel like you want to improve.or drop it all together who cares? get a new hobby
>>7852318>>7852327>>7853296It's happening, I'm outta here. This gen got overrun with rats and werewolves, bring the fucking Van Helsing already, it's over.

>>7853308They draw..
>>7853286Do you bathe and make something of yourself, anon?
How is it guys?
I missed ballpoint so much.
>>7853286Not that anon but bro... I know it sucks practicing but if you can't find ANY enjoyment from drawing, then it might be better to really think about the goals and reasons on why you want to draw in the first place.This hobby isn't for everyone.
>>7853321It's beg, but good for beg. Keep drawing mang
>>7853321>Props for the Caesar's legion posterThe rendering reminds me of late 90's overblown manga, so props for replicating that style. I'm not going to give crits to the style, that's up to taste.There are a bunch of elements that aren't well put together, mostly anatomical. The shoulders looks like they pivot from a something like a latch or a hinge joint, the character has no deltoids to speak off, the right arm has a huge forearm and the muscles aren't attatched to anything. The breasts are somehow on top of the chest and halfway inside. The stomach has no organs, and the entire hip bone is a bowl. The legs aren't attached onto anything, and they are more akin to flabs of meat.Also, the penis looks like it's stapled on, which I did find funny. The penis itself looks fine, though.All in all, I would recommend reading an anatomy book and study construction a bit more. I'd focus on that before rendering. My redlining skills are shit, but it should illustrate what I mean well enough.
>>7853342If this is what I think it is, you are fucking vile and disgusting.
How many times have you mocked me
>>7853349They don't care for anyone's feelings. They cum, they mock, they mog

>>7853334Thank you pookie>>7853337Yeah, I had to do a bunch of anatomical revisions on it lol. I wasn’t exactly too happy about the anatomy, but I spent long enough on it and I thought “good enough”. IMO at some point it becomes less of refinement and more of ‘polishing a turd’. Thank you for all of this.Ave, true to Caesar.

>>7853462Makes sense
Does the chain around her neck look good texture wise? It's not finished at all, but I want to know if i'm going on the right track and if not, what could I do better
>>7853467You don't know how to draw, i can tell because the shackles, the chains and the collar are 2D. Stop copying.
>>7853467The soft brush doesn't seem to do the trick, maybe some small flat white light effects can help.
>>7853470>You don't know how to draw,That's why he's here you retarded mongrel.
>>7853470>>7853467The chains are ok, just a little sloppy on some parts of the lineart. That's all.
>>7853473That's what makes the entire thing even better. Egyptian collar on a 3d sphere, cute, calling foul play. No i don't want to see another epic timelapse
>>7853467As is it stands out compared to everything else. by itself its good maybe blur the grays out a bit they're really harsh on the right side.
>>7853490Now THIS is art
>>7853493lol thank you anon.
>>7853265Nice.I colored with the waterpen and the oilpen, yeah idk i remember it looking more analogue, nah fuck coloring that's for women anyways
>>7853467It looks off because the lighting doesn't match up with the backyard, which is white. It should be much lighter in color. Great drawing, tho.>>7853490>The tiny earsGood shit, anon. Your other drawings are great, too. Perspective is tough, and you're already ahead of 70 percent of people in this thread.>>7853494Dope sketches.>>7853498I like your rendition, anon. In my experience, it's better to keep it simple when learning to render digitally. A default round brush with changes to opacity from opaque to transparent occasionally is all you'll really need. Any brush with with a fixed opacity will do the trick, honestly. No pressure sensitivity or anything fancy. And going from a large size brush to small will keep the rendering more uniform.
>>7853514It’s wild how much I struggle with ears lmao. Thank you anyways anon I really appreciate it. Perspective is indeed tough, but I’m gonna grind it out until I get it
>>7853514i just dislike coloring, brain doesn't hurt and it takes a lot of time. I think rinotuna also renders with the default round brush, it's just not a fun thing. I'd rather do monochrome until i gitgud before doing the more mechanical cookie cutter stuff.
>>7853467Very nice. Look at that. Good coloring. It's very cool anon.

Should I just buy marc brunet's art school course, it's almost half off right nowI feel like sticking to a set course is a better idea than what I've been doing (opening youtube art tutorials and not watching them)
>>7853729Is there really no reference you can use
>>7853731I can take a pic of myself. But the character will be press checking the gun, and since I don't have a gun I'll have to get creative to get the hand positioning and gun angle right.
>>7853729Look at the way he approaches construction of a figure >>7852655I think you make it too hard on yourself with that thin line brush. Maybe you should use a much broader sketchy brush to block in the whole shape, and then coming down into the details of the pose step by step. Like taking out chunks from a stone block to uncover the sculpt figure in it. I know it sounds weird and esoteric, but everyone finds a personal way to do just that. Eventually you will find yours, maybe with the right brush allowing you to work loosely and fast at the first attempted shape, and another brush to refine it.

>>7853591It's getting better. I really recommend putting the shading and monochrome coloring on hiatus though. If you focus on getting the outlines and forms right you'll improve quicker.

Anyone have any tips on how to draw eyes looking at the direction of the object the character is looking on? It's something I've been constantly having trouble with.

>>7853830me on the left
>>7853830KEK wtf. The way their dicks are all pointing up... KEK
>>7853826I'm sure someone has a tutorial, but the best way is honestly to just spam copies of good artists in many different angles until it's internalized. That and flipping your canvas a lot until both orientations look correct. Getting the gaze right is pretty tough since you don't have much room for error.
>>7853837HAHAHAAHAH That's amazing.
>>7853830
>>7853829Oh I know that guy! He's very talented and hansome. And rich and single too!
>>7853842But is he allowed to own firearms?
>>7853847N- No...
>>7853830I'm the handsome one
>>7853840Not seeing our Lord Captain Pawell there, breaks my heart.
>>7853820Thanks for the advice; I'll work on that.
>>7853830Blog?
>>7853826Imagine a line from the center of the eyeball to the object. The point where that line intersects the eyeball's surface is where the iris goes.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>7851145AExperimenting with hair, background, lines to emphasize volumes...
I'd like to hope that constantly practicing circles and practicing lines is at least contributing to developing my linework
>>7853906I may have rushed a bit and forgot it. Will correct the oversight tomorrow
>>7853901HOLY WOW... This is a very special piece anon. Very artistic. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm trying to study light and shadows
>>7853286if you don't enjoy drawing as you are now, it's going to be very hard to get good considering you need to like it enough to put in the hours, have you even posted art on the thread?
Sketch
>>7853948The thin line used for the head makes it seem like it's copy/pasted onto the body.
>>7853967Bro's mad the barber gave him the Bart
Assuming like me you all started with a pencil and scrap book, when did you decide to make the purchase for a tablet? I've got 50 pages left of my scrap book and if I finish that by March I'm gonna purchase a tablet of some sort
>>7853971If you enjoy drawing and you want to draw digital then just do it now.
>>7853960Is it just me, or are those some massive legs? I get there's a little bit of foreshortening, but even if they were tucked tightly against her chest, I don't think they would be reaching past her chin.
>>7853965that's because I had to size down the head first because there wasn't enough room in the drawpile
>>7853975Fair enough.
>>7853977I dunno, I'm just a beg, and I'm willing to be wrong. I couldn't find a perfect 1:1 reference, but even with the lower angle of the camera and a different field of view, I can't really picture an angle where the knees are so high up.
>>7853986The knees can go up to any height you want if you move the camera close enough.
>>7853992Yeah, maybe it's not as far off as I thought. Maybe it's just the comparison to the arm throwing me? It looks like the thigh is longer than the entire extended arm, which just instinctively struck me as being off when I looked at it.
After finding out about it recently, I'm kind of obsessed with Salvador Dali's Two Dancers sketch.
>>7853973The average anime girl has legs that are way longer than the upper half of her body.Also, east asians have the shortest legs among all races
Does tracing help if I want to eventually draw original compositions
>>7854044yes, it can help you get used to certain shapes and silhouettes
>>7853815 only >>7852264 is int.
>>7853967terribly off model, do better
>>7853830whoa where did you get this photo of me and my /beg/ bros?
>>7854055This website’s obsession with these ratings needs to be studied
>>7854059Pyw
>>7850595Flat, bland, unexciting. Use irl photos or professional works as well as color theory videos to learn more. This just paintbucket application with zero imagination.
>>7850585Your line work needs more variation and the shading sometimes can take the place of the lineart. The colors used are unexciting and are a sneeze away from pillow shading. (protop: don't outline the areola, blend it a bit - it makes it look like a sticker rather than a suckable part of the breast)I'd offer edits but I am in bed and it is cozy.
>>7854099will whatever i post change that your drawing is off model?
Which courses are actually courses? Meaning that it's not just paying for videos, but also someone reviewing your works.
Hello everyone.While I haven't been proud of my drawing speed last year, I would like to improve on that matter this year. However, I still have drawn some stuff, including this piece I've finished at the last day of 2025.Considering rendering is what has been giving me lots of troubles recently, any thing to improve ?
>>7854077Truth hurts.
How are you all doing? I think it's time for me to move on from mainly doing portraits, so here's to some more Bridgman and figure studies.>>7853901Fantastic forms, brilliant.>>7853903>>7853937Great sketches, anon. I really like them. You've got a good flow going in your linework, it's both clean and messy. Very good.>>7853948Gorgeous drawings as always. Love your stuff.>>7854040Great use of shapes. Have you considered doing more gestures?>>7854077I don't get it neither. These sorts of tables and categories are borderline infantile and obsessive. It really doesn't matter. Just draw and have fun.
>>7854077Says the low mega mid beg
Alright /ic/, the impossible has happened: I finally finished this piece. It came out just how I wanted it
>>7854171Excellent what's your next project?
>>7854175Thank you anon. See the skull in the OP image? That’s mine, and I’m just gonna finish rendering the fish and the fish skull alongside the skeleton
>>7854118That's not me and I was intentionally trying to draw him in a different style, and idc if you pyw
>>7854171Be honest, have you shot rope to Miss Piggy before?
>>7854226I’ve been caught…
Oh my fucking god can users not be banned from this site?
>>7854055Can I get a grading on mine. I like to think I'm a 4.>>7852991>>7853008>>7850840>>7852636
>>7854235>Anonymous website>BannedHow would that work?
>>7854240I’ve been unable to post from specific IP addresses. It’s definitely possible (I hope) especially if your posts continue getting reports
>>7854239Don’t worry about where you are rating wise and just tighten up on your fundamentals. Study perspective, form, and line confidence.
>>7854241his ip is banned every time he get deleted
>>7854239>4Come again?
>>7854235No, how new are you? We had dedicated schizos shitting up certain boards for literal decade. They are not ever going to run out of dynamic IP pools, proxies or VPNs.
>>7854242Thank you. I'm going off some drawing exercises for sharpening my fundies. If I was on paper my line confidence would be better. Right now I'm transcribing this page into a manage couple of pages https://www.howtopracticedrawing.com/blog/drawing-fundamentals-definitive-guide/#table-of-contentIf you have better resources let me know.
>>7854240You can't use VPNs, or TOR to try to hide your ip to ban evade in this site. That's a relatively recent policy here. That means this asshole is burning a bunch of ip addresses, maybe a range ban won't even work. It's an attack on the site, weird that he chose this board for that. I guess he's focusing on this thread because it won't bump having reaching the post limit, so he thinks he's being stealthy. Though he's creating threads too.Just report and don't reply.
I swear this latest spamming schizo has only become so prolific after the changes to the captcha
>>7854246This looks good to me. Just keep drawing and try to do it every day. I recommend perspective made easy and drawing on the right side of the brain. YouTube is also great. Good luck >>7854245I’ve been here a while. I’ve seen the schizo anon that makes the threads with the weird drawings but CP spamming is a new low
>>7854259I'll keep it in mind. Also yes screw cp posting scum that's how we lost the edit booru. It was really handy having that all in one place.
would posting time lapses on tiktok be a good way to gain a followering since it's what all normies use right now?
>>7854267>>7854259The CSAM images are disgusting. I hope the poster will get the rope. “Let’s traumatize other people ! And have this victim’s photos posted on this thread teehee !” Very mental
>>7854272Yes I ended up with 100 likes with mine surprisingly
this feel soulless... is it?
>>7854249>That means this asshole is burning a bunch of ip addressesAs far as i understand the guy hosting the proxysite people use for spamming is paying over 2k a month for an israeli company's residential proxies. The guy's been doxed as well and seemingly lives in Texas but for some reason the feds don't seem to care.
>>7854331Not new at all
>>7854331CP spam usually gets deleted fast enough that only habitual lurkers or people in the wrong place at the wrong time see it.
>>7854354Well gee sorry for being unhappy about cp being on my screen
>>7854349That's why it shouldn't be mentioned or replied. That's what that piece of shit wants, to leave the stain smeared all over the board.
>>7854365I understand what you mean, I just wish the moderators of this board did more to stop it or at least control it
>>7854365> bitchy temper tantrums every single time it happensThe pot calling the kettle black …
I'm loooooooming
>>7854386Go study forms and perspective
>>7854388I'm already reading fun with a pencilone book at a time
>>7854158Nice tits.
Dead thread.
>>7854386It's a good start. Focus on making sure you use the middle line to gauge the correct distance between the eyes
>>7854295yeah it does>>7854447Start doing those line drills every singe time you sit down to drawnothing but a page full of lines and circles
>>7854391Don't worry anon, just make sure you read the chapter you're on. That entire part of Fun With a Pencil is a form study in disguise.
>>7854295
>>7854453
>>7854461Are you commenting lack of rendering or what?
>>7854465Nta Lack of structure, also you are not using face drawing fundamentals or measurements
>>7854416Thanks, anon. I like your gestures. Here's another one for ya I drew inbetween studies.>>7854454Love this. I'd make the cast shadow a bit darker and the board behind her lighter to better separate her from the background.>>7854465>>7854453NTA. Don't be afraid on using lines to contour lines and markers. I personally like to use them alot for mapping light and texture when I'm drawing portraits. It looks decent, but you might want to focus on linework. It drags the drawing a down, which is a shame. It could be great with a little clean-up. Expressive linework is everything, even when it's just sketches. I'm still working on that part, too.
I feel like it's impossible for me to draw anything in a non 0 degree angle.
>>7854470somethings wrong with the right arm
>>7854468Yeah, I don't think I'm capable of remembering fundies. I didn't plan for it to be exact copy, but I think I can see what do you mean.>>7854470>Don't be afraid on using lines to contour lines and markers.Like actually drawing circles to show light? I'm not sure, won't that make the picture too busy?But I agree about linework, it often comes out wonky and I just end up endlessly erasing and redrawing it.
>>7854476I feel you about that one. I'm gonna let it rest and see if I can spot a better solution for that. It looks a bit disconnected, which might be a perspective error on my part.>>7854478Here's one of my portraits, it's very light on lines, but it should make it a bit clearer. My method is to find a brush you really "fuck" with, as the americans say, and learn it to bits. Then, it's all about using it to give the impression of light, form and texture. I personally really enjoy drawing with Bristles-5 Flat and Pencil-5 Tilted.Long strokes and using my shoulder also helps alot, mechanically, when making linework.
>>7854158I don't get it neither. These sorts of tables and categories are borderline infantile and obsessive. It really doesn't matter. Just draw and have fun.Look at this post and you will see the usefulness of such a table:>>7854239People are completely delusional about their progress and the vastness of skills they do not yet possess. To compare your skill on a metric can be motivating and helps you hone your skills according to a few basic fundamentals that need to be there.It's not required to use or obsess over lists, but they surely have a place.
I struggle with getting this face right, I've been fixing it but still feels off
>>7854484Ah, I see, thing is my study was pretty much shinning all over her skin. But maybe I could make it work, hmm...For now I use a basic hard brush that I modified for better size-pressure control
Hi guize, I haven't posted anything for a long while... bcuz well I haven't really drawn anything for like 3 months lol. But around new years I decided to give drawing another try.
>>7854504It's a general contruction and perspective issue. It's not by much, but the right eye is placed on top of the skin, and it should sit inside the eye socket. Place it a bit further back, and make sure to leave some more room for the cheek bone and socket. Also, ever so slightly, the perspective is just a bit off.
>>7854519Thank you kindly, anon!
>>7854239Probably mid-high beg, rate me I think I'm high beg >>7852958
>>7854470
>>7854484>>7854470>This good in barely a yearI am not feeling so good bros.
>>7854527Yeah, you're at least high-beg.
>>7854531Technically, I began in october-december 2024, but yeah. That's what happens when you do nothing else but study-draw in your spare time. In this past year, I've only made roughly 6 fully original works (that are not just black and white drawings) this year (portraits from ref are just exercises to me, it's not my goal). The rest have been studies, mostly Hampton, Bridgeman, some asian artists, copies of whatever I had near me. Perspective exercises are fun too, especially in front of the tv, when I'm doing nothing else. Cubes, cylinders, etc. I treat this as learning, I'm not vibing it.Even my social media feeds are drawing- and painting tutorials. It's never-ending.I also read a lot of books, which is also good. To be honest, it can be boring sometimes, but having fun is a major help, especially in the beginning.I still can't draw cars and bikes for shit, tho.
>>7854531Yeah it looks like part, it's not that good to be quite honest with you. Also a fucking exercise lmao
>>7854540It takes 5 minutes
>>7854458thanks, I'm trying to avoid anime samefaces though
>>7854545pyw
Only the left boot is salvageable but I’m beginning to understand shading and midtones
>>7854545He is one of the most talented around here. Mogs all people here.
>>7854550Quick torso exercise, i've been drawing for a year or so as well. You niggas don't understand how good real artists actually are.
>>7854527I think you need line confidence and to paint in the lines a bit better I'd say your around my neighborhood
>>7854530based la'zel enjoyer>>7854055im high beg,

>>7854591Truth hurts nigga, we all begs and the tier list is extremely accurate. I'm mid beg with some low moments, that guy is mid beg with some high beg moments.
>>7854575post something finished?
>>7854597Bruh
i dont have anything that can be considered finished officiallybut i like this one fuck me image limit

300 images
>see 4 panel comic strips posted on Reddit once a week and then porn image on Patreon every 2nd week>makes between 2-5k a monthIt's not enough to make a living off but would be nice
>>7854597>I'm mid beg with some low beg momentsMy guy, fucking what? Is this bait?
>>7854610My biggest problem with it is the negative effect it has on beginners. Beginners have no business worrying about where they stand skill wise and need to just focus on drawing a lot and improving. Drives me mad seeing someone who can’t draw a straight line asking if they’re int yet
>>7854615>understands fundamentals but fails at them>mid/beg/ how is that bait?
>>7854554>>7854597Absolutely abhorrent levels of Dunning Kruger tier posts my dude. A piece of me honestly thinks you're stealing someone else's art and posing as them to bait with.>>7854539How many hours do you draw in a day? Good stuff otherwise.
>>7854571It's just a drawing, anon. Monke-anon is better than anyone here in spirit alone, you mongrel. They are one of the kinder people on this board, unlike you.
>it's another episode of laguna being a retarded crab specifically towards the foidsmaybe next thread will be better
>>7854612So go make it then reatard.
>>7854568>im high begYou're low beg. Marginally better than Pawell and the rest of the nodraw ilk. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
Pawell is /adv/
New thread?
>>7854624Pawell was stepping on /int/ territory on his final days
>>7854627God bless his sovl
>>7854628He didn't have one
>>7854627The crazy thing is once in a blue moon he'd paint something that actually looked fucking good. Like not even memeing but it was the most bizarre phenomenon to see a decent portrait in a sea of schizo rainbow colored gestures, as if a Satan himself dragged him back to permabeg hell the moment he started to grasp at getting better.
Anyone should be proud of being above PBS
Should we make a new thread?
You now realize Doll is truly Pawell 2.0.
>>7854635Duh
>>7854636Except Doll is actually improving.
>>7854620:3 hhihihhi
>>7854637Alright I'll make one now.
>>7854638We'll see once he makes a new original work.
>>7854619I usually try to aim for at least 2 hours of pure studies, which mostly consists reading, copying and taking notes of whatever page I've reached in one of either Hampton's or Bridgeman's books. I try to aim for only 5 minutes tops per sketch and notes, which is more than enough. It's usually not in one go, I split it into two sessions of 1 hour each. I also sprinkle in some smaller sketches and drawings in, just to have some fun and try to apply whatever I've learned. They are only 20 minutes each, maybe 25-30 if I want to iterate it a bit. My portraits take the longest at roughly 30 minutes, total. If I go beyond that, I just quit it, take some notes and move onto the next one.It's basically observe, deconstruct, build through memorization, draw, try to remember, apply to drawing at some point.
if a new thread isn't happening within the next 5 minutes I'm gonna fucking kms!
R.I.P
>>7854644>memorization methodIt's good to see other people have been incorporating this learning method, not a lot of art teachers really go into its importance or even mention it.
>>7854620ok sorry ^-^ everyone lets do our best yay :D
>>7854645I'm gathering images to make the thread's collage. Should be no more than 20-30 minutes of editing everyone's art for the OP.
>>7854646I meant probably it's not enough to make a living off. Like personally 2k a month isn't enough to live on alone, 4k would doable, 5k would probably be enough but I doubt it's consistently going to give that.
>>7854651There's plenty of time, till we get to 1k replies here.
>>7854656There's technically no reply cap.
>>7854651Thanks for making the collage!
>>7854661I need to be rich.
>>7854661It's not enough that I'm rich, others must be poor.
>>7854648It might depend on the country, but in mine there's definitely a more holistic view on how to approach working with art. It's more about what you want to say than how. That's especially true for teaching.That's a fancy way of saying, skills don't particularly matter, words are more important.
>>7854654crazy stuff
Hmm I think I will spend more time looking at references than actually drawing and then I will get mad at myself for not drawing enough afterwards
We’re not reaching 1k
>>7854674yes we can , believe in yourself ^0^
Bump
>>7854668>That's a fancy way of saying, skills don't particularly matter, words are more important.Said by a talentfag. How fucking blind when you get this skill easily and for granted.
>>7854668>It's more about what you want to say than how>banana on a wallPogchamp! ^-^
>>7854677It was meant as a derogatory, but sure. If that's your fixation, I guess. "Talent rat", yada, yada.Most art teachers like to talk about art more than make art, that's my point.
>>7854679And you're lovely, too, anon. My colleagues had a field day discussing that one, the usual talking points. I remember it like a Vietnam flashback, the horror, ha ha.
>>7854633Amen.
I cant draw
I won't draw
>>7854690>>7854694No one cares
>>7854695This. How sad is your life if you are a nodraw on a board meant for drawing and painting? I'd sooner kms than not drawing.
