Draw this pose.
>>7862151nah draw this instead
>>7862151>>7862151switched to digital this morning (affinity/hs611) and it's sad how much i lost. there wasn't much to lose, but still.
>>7862151
>>7862183HS611 is a great tablet, used one for 3 years and it still works just finetho, affinity isn't good for digital art... it's okayish, but there are better options
>>7862214I am pretty much locked to free tiers. I know there's krita and one other I can't recall that compete for free. PS or Adobe is still like 20 a month right?
>>7862218genuinely, i'd go for Clip Studio Paint, even if you have to pay for it, the pro version is enough... if you decide to use PS, just pirate it with GenP, it's safe and completely free
>>7862220I just got about an hour into CSP, you were right. Even just making the red and blue graphite brushes was easier than Affinity, damn.
>>7862300yeah... CSP is way faster and lighter, the brush engine is highly customizable, there are bazillions of free brushes (including PS file brush) and lots of tutorials
>>7862752very nice but you didnt draw the nose, so I have to give you a DNF
>>7862752This is nice, anon. Even without the nose. Anime does just fine without proper noses as well.
>>7862151Why not, I guess.
Do good references don't exist in the western shithole? lmao, it's the internet at least put some effort when looking for reference, It's always garbage.
>>7862151young Asian woman defecating
>>7862760>>7862844thank u thank u!not a nose hater though u just dont draw it until im colouring since i find them awkward to express through line>>7862910this is cool nice style
>>7862992There's a plethora of western references but all their women look like troons
>>7862151W-what are you going to do with these pictures, anon?
>>7863210>tummy
>>7863432KYUTO DA! KYUUUUUUTOOO!!
>>7863334Cry because I couldn't do it.
how the fuck are you guys drawing contours with just one line
on my dsi
>>7863267>There's a plethora of western references but all their women look like troonsanon....
>>7862151hey I used this reference a couple of years ago
>>7863650>on my dsibased/kino
>>7864517nice one
I try
>>7862151I hate beautiful things
>>7867684Why do you hate yourself?
>>7867713Because I'm too beautiful. Im tired of having women chase after me. My girlfriend won't stop calling me to talk about her normie problems while I'm trying to focus on my art
>>7867754I understand your anxiety, nothing last, I know, nothing last, I know. Live, live now, I know, live today, I know, live because.
>>7863590Sketch first add layer then use the underlying sketch as guide This is what I do as beg. Pros can do it without sketch
>>7867684you sure you dont just hate your inability to create beauty? very luciferian of you anon
>>7863551socials? This is awesome
>>7868625I'm the light bringer that resides in the shadows
>>7868618bro
>>7869053If that's how you want to be, fine. Just ask yourself if, "I don't like drawing cute things" is really where you want to go. I didn't either, but I also want to be true to myself and not just a reactionary to the glut of cute.
>>7869125>I didn't eitherDon't, rather than didn't.
Cute version
jesus fucking christ this pose is hard
>>7869522You did so well though
>>7869523thanks brahit costed my sanity
>>7863551tableguy?
>>7869526maybe tableguy from 10 years ago
>>7862151>make a thread like this weeks ago>pruned instantly for "requesting free artwork"thanks janny you fat faggot fuck
I don't know how to photograph pencils because graphite reflects light
too easy
>>7870810no need to humiliate us
>>7870810>just a little 2 minute sketch guys :3
i need to try harder
So many cute posts.
>>7867684I look like this without the boobs
>>7872637kek
>>7872637cute>>7871757love it>>7870810also cute
>>7872823this one is cool
Good cute girl reference. I try. But more import. I have fun.
>>7874483I dumb. Wrong upload.
>>7867684Weird. But keep doing what you do, man. That's the whole point of this thing.
>>7862151its imposible for me to draw this
>>7875220Try anyway! If it's impossible then there's no shame in failing because you were never going to get it. Pretty sweet deal. No go draw so you can post it and tell me to go fuck myself.
>>7875226im tired of failing 40 times in a row.
>>7875260the issue is that you arent drawing what you see. youre drawing what you think you see. your best attempt is in the bottom left.
>>7875260wtf these are good. I kinda thought I was going to get Howie scribbles and I'd have to lie and say some "You have lots of potential!" bullshit. But these are fine, unfinished, but fine.
>>7875260There is a gap between OP's ref and your drawing, but it's close. Keep it up.
>>7875260never draw what you see. your best attempt is the unga on the bottom right>>7875430>I'd have to lie and say some "You have lots of potential!" bullshithate fake-positive people like this the most
>>7875436why? does it betray your trust or something? you got trust issues after your daddy left you? that's pretty pathetic.
>>7875481insincerity is good, actually!
>>7862151no
>>7875514Pretty please ?
>>7862151I started learning to draw a week ago. Please give me critique and advice, kindly.https://files.catbox.moe/28jpie.jpg
>>7875521I only draw my ideas. because I'm just that much more awesome
This broke my tiny /beg/ brain but I glad I did it. No clue how to approach hair or faces though
I'm so fucking bad at art holy shit what should I even focus on to improve
>>7876215you did great indicating form in your piece!! very soulful lines>>7879557try to be mindful of the spaces between body parts and background. there's a wider gap between her arms, and more of a trapezoid shape between her belly, legs, and arms. don't be afraid to gently include lines to suggest form or light/shadow
>>7879591Thank you this is a helpful reminderI also overlayed my lineart on the ref and realized her head and shoulder is too far left/down. I really tried to observe as much as I could in the ref but still made that mistake. Is there a way to prevent that kind of thing in the planning phase?
>>7879592you could very loosely sketch (using a lower opacity brush) your observation aka "gesture" then adjust by adding darker lines as you make corrections.don't be afraid to exaggerate a little during the loose sketch. the curve on her back? make it very curved. artists have a tendency to "soften" a pose or "correct" an angle.otherwise keep practicing your observational skills. think about relations between parts; how long her torso and arms are, the space on her shoulder, etc. what i like to do is do a pure observation piece - then trace the photo next to that figure, then copy the first piece, plop it next to the traced result and see where my errors are and make corrections on it. it makes me notice where my errors in my observational skills faster. eg: i have a tendency to make the head slightly large or whatever.but that is for practicing realism. once you find yourself bored or getting a decent grasp on it and you just wanna draw cartoon characters, use references to practice stylization. push and pull, shrink and enlarge, play with lines
>>7873974Nice.
>>7863168>>7862752I love the cute little cheek thing you did here
>>7882206cute
>>7868618this is great, I'd love to follow you if you don't mind sharing your socials on here
>>7875436>hate fake-positive people like this the mostWhole heatedly agree>>7875481>why? does it betray your trust or something? Because it breeds fake confidence and inept smugness about their work that hinders them in the long run. It's like how mid women feel entitled because they have a bunch of simps showering them in complements in hopes of getting pussy now they want a man with a six figure income while they're a single mom or something. Same with the art, they'll think everyone wants to see their shit drawings and they only have to improve a little bit instead of making things structurally sound. They'll think their way is the best way because they have potential and all they'll need is time (and not consciously analyzing mistakes). You're not giving advice, you're not really saying anything but keeping them in the fog. You might as well say nothing, and those privy to the term like us know it as an insult and know you as a disingenuous person.
>>7887791Look if you don't have the capacity to tell that your work is shit and believe that somebody being positive while giving criticism is "being fake" then you have bigger mental issues to address. There's a good chunk of people on this board that seem to think the only way to receive "real criticism" is if you're being needlessly torn apart. Like I get some of you respond better to that, but that's a you problem, not the criticism itself.
>>7887802That's why the best way to give crits is to show not tell. None of the dick waving with the pyw or contentious bullshit of people thinking crits aren't valid. Demonstrate your knowledge by redlining, paintovers all that bs. You can't argue against what is clearly shown unless you're deluded. Fact of the matter is, most people on here don't even know what they want, just a vague idea of what they think they want.
>>7887802>Look if you don't have the capacity to tell that your work is shit and believe that somebody being positive while giving criticism is "being fake" then you have bigger mental issues to addressNo it's that people would take it at face value, long time ago I was socially inept and didn't know people were using euphemisms for things (because I was very honest) I thought I was the shit and it did hinder me... I was in high school at the time, looking back at it if they were to tell me what was wrong with it I would've actually fixed it instead of being a smug teenager. >There's a good chunk of people on this board that seem to think the only way to receive "real criticism" is if you're being needlessly torn apartPlease stop this false dichotomy shit. I said there's no need to say anything, at least in my above example I was expecting something to be said by peers but posting on an anonymous image board/ social media in general you could just leave the piece of artwork alone and let the silence speak for itself. Saying "There's some potential" does absolutely nothing but dupe people or show you as insincere. You don't need to tear people apart, tell them what's wrong with it in a cordial manner and give a compliment on what they did right to reinforce that habit, simple as. "There's potential" says absolutely nothing.
>>7887808There's some potential in your post to be good, but If you look at the actual meaning of the words, you would see it's actually telling you you're shit, because you still have room to improve.
>>7887823see there's absolutely nothing being said in there. I am not very concise and have to remind myself that the majority of people on here are phone posters now. Are you old enough to remember the disdain people had for phone posters on here? Anyway your insult has potential, but seeing how I draw not write your criticism is warranted.
>>7887808I made that original post. I don't give "very good" posts to retards. I was just trying to give a pat on the back to a guy who seemed like he needed some confidence to try. I think I'm most people know the difference between comments meant to gas someone up and actual advice about technique. I didn't mean to trigger any aitosmos.
>>7888191Hi anon, I had a hypothesis, but I need someone like you to test it for me.Can you do the same drawing again, but spend 4x the amount of time on it than you did the first time. And I want to see the results.
>>7862151Best of WW2 is here againBig pictures, no substances. And you wonder how the American got you so badly. Or maybe, they never did.
Version 2 can't rmb the pose no matter how
I give up, the legless can't grow a leg, so me and my, spinning memory idk. That's all given, and that's all has. Magic, that's why, alot of magics needed.
>>7887785spinehaus on twitter, ty
Probably pretty wonky looking if you look at it more than two seconds but was pretty fun to make :)
>>7888263>>7888266>>7888267Taking a photo of your screen with your smartphone's camera to capture a digital drawing, instead of just posting a screenshot of your screen, is so incredibly cursed. Assuming you're drawing with an iPad or something like it, does your tablet not have access to wifi?
>>7862151 (OP)
>>7862151first time trying to translate someone else's character design onto an existing pose. the clothes nearly broke my brain
>>7892309sovl
>>7863650Kino
>>7876215very cute
We're getting closer to summer guys. I'm fuckin' pumped.
>>7882208>>7886231>>7888191>>7891189>>7891007kyut
>>7862151I can't I've tried like 10 tens. I don't know why it's so difficult where are the guys who break figures down into mannequins i need you
>>7862151i dont like asian women
>>7893850Basic shapes bro. If I got some time i'll try to put together a visual for you.
>>7894511wow that's pretty impressive!
I don't like it
>>7893850Threw this together. Hopefully it helps. Good luck and please draw something.
>>7894663self indulgent intslop
>>7894511Great stuff >>7894663Good basis but just go for the full drawing
>>7894691what's self indulgent about it? i'm showing that he can use shapes to construct the form. offer positive crit and help the guy or fuck off.
>>7894727how is he going to go for the full drawing? He asked for help figuring out the form and I also contributed my drawing already above.
>>7894730I’m tripping I didn’t see the response I thought that was just your final drawing my bad
>>7862151>>7893625
>>7862151>>7894871>>7893625
>>7894734no problem
>>7894872love the style here. beautiful line work!
let this be a lesson to other /beg/s who think this board will help them get good at drawing
>>7894969ty anon
>>7870810peak
this was a lot of fun, thanks OP
>>7862151I would never have drawn this if it wasn't for this thread. But I've learned a lot by doing it, thanks OP !
>>7895772Very appealing, to me at least
>>7871126One of my favourite ones in a thread full of good stuff, so no need to beat yourself up.
>>7898648i want to ejaculate on her face
>>7873383now that's the right amount of chubby tummy
A good thread deserves a bump or two.
>>7906629Cuuuuute. How had no one (you)'d you for this one?
Eh, i don`t like drawing faces, so i drew whatever.
>>7910019Self replying is sad, anon. Work on drawing feet and legs
>>7862151Wow! This is really hard! Could i get some critique here? Left is ref, middle is trace of ref and right is before tracing my attempt at drawing her head. My method was to simply draw the shapes i saw and try to disassociate them from what i thought the subject is, so a lot of straight lines to help with that. But i did try to think of the form and how it curves at the mouth where the lips occlude a part of the cheek. How did others actually go about doing this? I am also having trouble thinking of how go through the actual body/pose, but ill get to that in a moment.
>>7910893And for the pose.I am 100% stuck on how the head and ribcage connect. I am fine with everything else but it all goes bad because im constantly checking relative measurements, and the head-ribcage measurement is off. How do you draw this? I dont want to just draw what i see for the pose, id like to get gesture and/or construction in there, picrel isnt showing the construction and gesture layers, except the ribcage and pelvis slightly.
>>7910901forgot the pic
>see thread>why not, looks fun>realize I'm rusty AF and should really do more studies>lose patience anywayLooks like I'm NGMI bros
º/
>>7911348>Draws>Perceived failure
>>7862752This is cute af
>>7862151Been months since I've done one of these challenges so it took me like 4 hours alltogether. Half of that was the face, not sure if it's just because I don't draw women enough or because this broad is just an alien. Would rate her a 10 tho...
>>7910656not sure why you think i am self replying
okay I did it. today's warmup.
are you guys actually constructing it or are you tracing over the ref?
>>7914614Whose do you think is tracing? Even the guys who are skilled or are close are far from exact.
Now that it's been about 3 months, who do you think had the best one of these?
>>7914807So far it's >>7870810
>>7864114close second to >>7870810>>7914807>>7914819Agree, that cocky bastard said "Too easy" but got damn did they make it look easy
>>78728237872637>>7870810>>7868618786768478641147862752791314378960497891189my favorites. (you)s reserved for the pick of the litter (and because of the spam filter). and props to everyone, its not that easy to do. trying is half the battle
>>7917198and here is my attempt
I like the pose but I hate studio lighting
>>7862151>Draw this pose.No? Draw it yourself!
>>7917943yeah, the light is too even and bright, no fun shadows at all. the girls is cute obviously and if it werent for the pose, the reference image would be subpar. good job though, she looks very compact, abductable! and those evil looking crabs! giant enemy crab!
>>7917922You went through the effort of drawing and photographing it, why not make sure it's rotated the right way, my dude?
>>7903449only drawing in the thread that actually adds something
>>7923171then you missed the only drawing that actually does something original, because youre either blind or ignorant.
>>7923171In a thread full of drawings, many adding interesting takes on the initial image, here comes Mr.Crabby Pessimistic acting as if only a singular image did anything good.You fucks are as pretentious as those in the formal art world; only your taste is good and correct, everything else is wrong. Get bent.
>>7923171where is your drawing?
>>7923203its likely himself replying to his own post. getting (You)s is important to some anons for an understandable reason. everyone deserves a few kind words for drawing. i tried to incorporate everyone ITT in my little list/posting here for example >>7917198. if i had a big fridge, all the threads drawings would be on it.
>>7875430don't fucking lie people are here to learnif you don't want to say the truth then don't say anything don't lie
>>7926221>"These are fine">"WTF, why are you glazing them, bro?"Nuance and subjectivity are an extremely difficult thing for anons to understand, it seems.
bump
Apologies for what I'm about to inflict on your eyes, anons.
>>7935077trying is half the battle. better than not drawing at all
Let's get the image count to one hundred, guys!
Im too brainlet for the perspective of the upper torso for this one
>>7939407the struggle will strengthen your brain. try tracing it first.
Boomp
>>7917456It came out quite nice anon.
>>7945544the backside needed a little curve so it doesnt look like she'll fall over onto her cute lil bum, but overall its alright.
>>7935077It looks like she has no neck
>>7875260trying again, everything looks ugly when i try to draw the lineart so i use the sketch, im still shit at coloring and shadows.
>>7946350>im still shit at coloring and shadowsthe reference isnt that rich in shading variation, but there are slight ones you can just copy from. looks good to me already, dont fret too much over it
Wait, you guys can actually draw?
>>7946399kek
>>7922374this feels like the early stages of a painting. you should try and put some more time in. i feel you could do it neatly if you sat down for some hours polishing.
>>7946399Based
this gave me a lot of trouble earlier this year (https://files.catbox.moe/06zylh.png) so i'm pleased i can attempt it with more confidence now. took me like ~30 minutes
>>7946350I really like the expression here>>7913143sick background i love ornamental stuff like that
kind of messed up some bits but only realized at the point of no return.
>>7948830Why are you drawing backwards hands? The reference was right there, use it.
>>7950292>backwards handsIDGI. are the hands reversed or something? i definitely fucked up the fingers because i didn't notice the gloves going way over the knuckles until the very end but i think i got the orientation close enough atleast.
>>7950315Fucking retarded beg
>>7950324alright man i just wanted some clarification
>>7948830>>7950315>>7950334I think they look fine enough? At least, I don't understand what they mean by 'backwards hands', the thumbs are where they are in the reference. So don't sweat it anon, I like the drawing.
>>7950334dont listen to trolls. i see the intent. the palms are holding the face slightly contrary to the hand pose in the ref which is more of a cutesy holding them in front of the face. theres some jelly motherfuckers on here like you wouldnt believe. otherwise he wouldve redlined it, but he cant because its stylized and stiöö logical
>>7948031Cute!
>>7891189>>7871757>>7863650>>7863029Also cute
>>7950345The ass patting is crazy here. Is the pinky next to the thumb in your minds eye reference too? Stylization means nothing if you can't stylize anatomy properly.
>>7862151ok, now what?
>>7950568This if you don't want honest critique then don't post your beg garbage. Somebody went out of their way to help you and you spit in their face by disregarding their advice and feigning ignorance about it >>7950334 no you did not want clarification you wanted a heartfelt apology because you clearly think you're perfect and that all critique is a direct insult to you. Grow up.And faggots like >>7950345 make me sick, babying retarded permabegs keeping them from improving because of "muh feelings". Deep down you know his work looks like medicore dogshit, itll do better for both you and him if you rip that bandaid off and tell him what you really think of his work, who are you even virtue signalling for??? Sensitive faggots the lot of you.
>>7950687Ooooh
>>7950584didn't read lol
>>7950584>keeping them from improvingyou didnt redline it, therefore you dont know what youre talking about, nodraw.
>>7950584if nothing else i respect the lack of self-insight for calling someone else "sensitive" in a pejorative sense at the end of such an emotionally charged post. go to therapy lol
>>7950788elf fag, you have the reference and a million better drawings than yours to base it off of already. now you want a redline too? big and greedy. just use the reference like you were told and stop crying
>>7950584>This if you don't want honest critique then don't post your beg garbage.This is your critiques, yeah?:>Initial: "Why are you drawing backwards hands? The reference was right there, use it.">When asked for clarification: "Fucking retarded beg">When several people say they don't understand the critique: "The ass patting is crazy here. Is the pinky next to the thumb in your minds eye reference too? Stylization means nothing if you can't stylize anatomy properly."Genuinely, if these are your 'honest critique', just stop. You're retarded. You don't know how to critique. You will actively make people worse artists with you shit 'advice'.
>>7950989nta, just laughing at your ineptitude to use references. redlines are appropriate for when there's no reference. you have many, now go draw it again.
>>7948830Low effort>>7950339Says a lot about you if you can find nothing wrong about it.>>7950792NTA but telling someone to go to therapy is not the scathing insult you think it is. If you think you're sooo above the critique of others I reccomend you leave this board and don't come back, we won't miss your medicore anime girls I promise. And a word of advice, several consecutive posts that just so happen to defend you make your samefaggery quite obvious.
>>7951044The hands are not backwards? What are you niggas smoking? Too prideful to admit your initial mistake?
>>7951044>Says a lot about you if you can find nothing wrong about it.That wasn't was said. They said they can't see how the hands are "backwards".And I bet anything your the same anon who made that critique, same fagging and pretending that people agree with you. Pathetic.
>>7951065keep defending yourself instead of just looking at the reference
>>7951070you didn't answer me>>7951060, how are the hands backwards, draw it out retard, you do draw right?
>>7951077"i got a critique i didn't like and now i want to be spoonfed despite having an entire thread of good drawings that illustrate exactly what i did wrong!"
>>7951070>I don't understand what they mean by 'backwards hands', the thumbs are where they are in the reference>the thumbs are where they are in the reference>in the reference>referenceStrange, it's almost like they did look at the reference. Did you?
>>7951078>hands are backwards>not they're not>why don't you like my critique wtf?why don't you admit you're wrong?
>>7951079are the thumbs the entire hand? cope harder
>>7951078Explain how is it critique if it's objectively wrong?
>>7951081>are the thumbs the entire hand?No? What the fuck is this critique?
can you retards not understand what trolling is? lmao, zoomers
>>7951084and what the fuck is going on in your mind that you think these hands are a good representation of the reference? take your female feelings and art style out of /ic if you cant handle it without samefagging
>>7951086Trolling and actual retardation can be hard things to differentiate. I am suspicious though.
>>7951087I'm not saying the hands are perfect, they're basically just rectangles, they're abstracted and stylized. However, how are they "backwards" - the criticism we're trying to get you to actually extrapolate on.
>>7951087backwards and different from reference are two different things
>>7951087>he went from duh they're backwards to duh they're not 1 to 1 like the ref, female!beg retard
>>7951096how many devices are you posting on, femcel? triggered af. i already said i'm nta, turns out multiple people think you're bad and don't want to spoon feed you
>>7951097>throwing insultstypical, those who can't draw i suppose
>>7951097haha, you were called out for same fagging, and now you're trying to 'NO U" us? Yeah, the other guy is right, you're just trolling.Wrap it up everyone, this is pointless.
>>7951099i can draw well enough to see your mistakes and choose to not fix them because you have a bad fucking attitude and are on your rag
>>7951096post tits or gtfo
>>7951101>i can draw well enoughno you can't, sucks to be you ;)
>>7951106tits nao chop chop femcel
>>7951096Didn't read the thread but foids should in fact be banned from posting on the internet
>>7951106you are cringe but everyone autistically nitpicking while not even providing a redline is even more cringe
>>7951133samefag but this is why >pyw is so important. you have no idea if knowing the guy bitching at you is a nodraw or not. either draw the reference better than the woman/tranny did or fuck off. dumb niggies
>>7951134there's nothing wrong with giving critique without having to prove yourself or draw every little thing for someone else, but telling someone something completely wrong and then shitting up the thread with like 20 replies is insane to me
>>7951133You're cringe for needing a redline itt. Stop crying already, you're not fooling anyone by using niggie and repeating insults, foid.
>>7951142>there's nothing wrong with giving critique without having to prove yourself YES there is ESPECIALLY if nobody was asking for you to critique them. prove that you are worth listening to. be brave and back up your bitching with evidence of your skill. the only reason for you not to do this is if you know you are no better (or worse) than whoever you are bitching at >>7951150PYW, PYR, or stop acting like a no balls faggot
