how the fuck are you supposed to shade? I picked up this loomis faggots book and it doesn’t explain it at all. Pic related is my attempt at first exercise. This is infuriating, why does for example my moustache look so much more retarded than his? It’s literally called “Fun with A Pencil” and says to use a pencil so why can’t I do it? Why is my shit so retarded and bad?
From Loomis to Hogarth, their principle rule is: Just make it up but mind the light source.
howie slide thread
For me, I always decide a percentage before doing anything. 0% is no shading at all, 100% is black as the ace of spades.Also, fuck Loomis.
>>7860600but you didn't do any shading there
>>7860600>puke with a pencil
>>7860600It looks like you don't draw very often, if at all, before this - so why did you expect your lines to look any good? It's some of your first drawings, give it time.You can't expect to be ripped from doing a single pushup.
>>7860600damn, i love drawing cartoon faces from the 50s so muchit looks so appealingi cant wait to get commissions for my oc "old fat man with a pipe"
