>>7882106look it's the girl guweiz draws
I got pretty close just winging it with the proportions. left was first draft
>>7882106Is it just me or her head is too long?
>>7882226She has a bun on the back of her head your retarded nigger.
>>7882237for me it looks long but in the other direction
>>7882237>Jeet thinks I was talking about the hair What a digrace of a race
I tried
>>7882226she has model cranial proportions, they tend to look a little alien to us uglies.
>>7882223i'm stealing that screentone thank you very much. nice drawing
>>7882106
>>7882266almost a wallhanger right there. i wouldve focused some more effort into the eye if i HAD to critique something, but i like it.
>>7882106I don't have time to be drawing the same shit as everyone else. I have to be original and stand out, isn't that what you retards said?
>>7882307you only have to be original and stand out if you want to stand out. is that what you want? enjoy participating in an 'art challenge' of a little artist community or not, up to you. you could go wild and use this image as a jumping off point for practicing standing out too.
>>7882307"Be original" is normal-fag code speak for "give me the same thing, but different". If there's any place that would actually appreciate you doing this in a wild way it's /ic/

>>7882106the new captcha is fucking me in the ass
Give it a shot using a tiny sketch kit i just assembled. I think I'll have to add a black, maybe switch out the blue? Or do some half cups so i can have both, maybe switch to focus on a monochrome palette? Was pretty fun though.
My crappy first attempt at getting the ratios. Misplaced brow ridge and nose angle/size are off, as a result other landmarks on the head are off too and it lacks volume. Gonna revisit it tomorrow when im not tired>>7882579>>7882623My favourites of this thread. Blog?
Maybe one day I won't be /beg/. but not today
I just realized her head is too small :\
>>7883432you can start by measuring the distance between the upper lip and nose, then the bottom lip and chin, also that strand near her ear (not included in your painting) is a great anchor to draw the negative shapes in order to get the proportions correct.Great shape design on the shirt though and it looks very nice as a thumbnail.
>>7883843thank you for taking time to reply and giving advice. i originally had the distance between the nose and lips different but i think i overcorrected and ended up making it worse lol
>>7882185Nice.
>>7883999I updated it a bit. I like it, it's good profile practice.
>>7883472If this isn't AI then it's really good.
>>7884293no ai
>>7884293Why would it be AI it doesn't even look like AI. And why are we pretending AI is good...Anyway the chin is weird, but that looks like a human mistake, not the kind of mistake AI makes.
Fuck you
>>7884377theres worse. if you spent more time on the preliminary sketch and then finish, it'd be better i bet. you have it in you, but you have to walk the mile like anybody else.
Felt like doing a digital paint-y thing, for the first time, in the longest time
>>7884414the nose is a bit much, but i noticed the slight bump in it as well doing my presketch (will be uploading later). i like the style though, looks good. i would probably even/straighten out the nose to brow ridge a little, pull it slightly inwards?
meh
>>7882106i hate it
I love shitting out turds like this
>>7884868the turds of yesterday are the fertilizer of tomorrow!
>>7884891True...
:3
>>7884868I also used blue...
mine sorta looks like Jenna Ortega
>>7885000Blue is Cool
I can do realism but suck at stylisation so i gave this a shot. I should have just drawn it normally instead of trying something outside of my comfort zone
>>7882106Please rate and critiquehttps://files.catbox.moe/jsyyba.jpg
>>7885388why not just upload the file?
>>7885682Someone based got my whole IP range banned from posting images, so I have to use file/image sharing websites instead.
I suck, but to be fair I just dabble in art from time to time and have very slowly learned a little bit, mainly just by exercising visualization. I sort of winged it without looking at the image some of the way through. Forgive the attrocious quality, I had to use 3rd world methods to take this.>>7885682It's catbox and it's a JPG you'll be fine.
>>7885388>>7885714For those that fear catbox.
>>7882403>>7884707cute
>>7885743Stylish beard.
>>7885807KEKI thought so too
I try.
>>7882106Drawing with a sprained wrist. Haven't drawn in almost two weeks, maybe less. Brilliant drawngs in this thread. Absolute bangers, honestly. Great ref, too, anon. Thanks. It was too good to pass up.
>>7886080hey nice job teacher.. i miss you in /beg/
>>7886120Thanks, anon. I'll be back, don't worry, but it's not as frequently as before. I'm going to be practicing a lot these coming months. Like I always say, at a certain point, I'll need to practice more than I post. Still lurking, tho.
Any advice? I tried to get as close as possible in 20 minutes
Hmm
>>7886192>20 minutestake more time next time, step back, readjust the shapes and distances and then fill in the blanks. getting it right before you detail and shade/render is the most important. like a strong foundation for a house. and take your time to get it right, it'll make you feel better and the drawing better.
>>7884564revised, rescanned, adjusted and handinked this time, might as well post it again because i like it more
>>7882106Things I need to learn>Hair>Objects of Abundance>Folds/Wrinkles>Lineart>Shading/Lighting
I ended fapping instead of drawing. Owari da...
damn, more people on /ic/ draw than I thought.
>>7886547Yeah, as soon as you leave the /Beg/ & /Int/ threads, the general output becomes much better, and it isn't the same 5 people (and a bunch of stragglers) posting their art. Both good and bad art, you'll find much more varied art posted in other threads than those ones.
>>7886131Good, anon. SOVL.

>>7885743nobody "fears" catbox. the board has had image features since it's inception. use them, retard. the only reason anyone uses catbox is to skirt rules, share cp, or both.your work is shit btw.
>>7888719I wasn't the one that made it, and I was being tounge and cheek saying people fear it because of this post right here, look at the image. The one who drew it said he was IP banned from posting images, meaning, he couldn't post it here, you didn't even read the posts to see the context. I posted his image that he uploaded there, here for him.
>>7888728>because of this post right here>>7885682that one, forgot to tag it. READ NIGGA READ
>>7888728>I was being tounge and cheekDangerous game on a board filled with autistic artists, anon.
>>7888719>>7888728>>7888731>>7888826Why do you guys always start drama, this is why I dont come here as often. Just fucking draw man...Just draw.
>>7888835>you guysI started nothing I just clarified to him, and it's fine now.
Fun exercise guys
>>7890081Yes! I was hoping you'd be here eventually to mog me. I always learn a bit from your choices. >>7882185>>7882403>>7882999>>7884377>>7884868>>7886023>>7886192Big ups to my other trad chads.
>>7890129lol I am not trying to mog anyone. I have fun with you guys. Gives me an excuse not to be a lazy fuck. Thanks for the comment fren :)
>>7890081It’s amazing how you did the back anon I have been trying to learn that for a while now.I have learned how to some degree, but it’s not that much of an effect yet.I know this has something to do with proper lighting and shading and I would like some advice from a more experienced artist such as you on how to do this better if you have the free time.I wanted to use the technique for the palms of the hands, the muscles and maybe other similar surfaces like maybe cloth folds. I have been trying to making a single shape look lumpy if the is the correct term.I would also like to ask other anons in this board if they have advice on how to do this better as well?
>>7882253Cum on it
>>7890165Np, love seeing how different Anons solve the same problem in different ways. Always find new goals to aspire to in these threads
>>7885740bros drawing by torch light
>>7890525lolNah I just have a bad webcam that doesn't register things well unless under very bright light, so things look dark and shadowy. It was a bit of a process just taking that because I needed to position the light right and hold the webcam at the same time, then put the camera on a 10 or 15 second timer so I could let the camera focus before it snapped the picture. I have a phone locked away that I don't even use that's better but it's slow and planned obsolete. I didn't want to fish it out at the time, hence, it being third world.
>>7890196Not sure how i'd advise you but it's mostly just hatch control. You have to practice hatching and the effect just sort of comes naturally after that. Your eye learns to see where to throw the hatches. Keep in mind i'm not exactly some expert I just did this many years and it comes naturally now. Still pretty messy but it comes cleaner with time.>>7890207Awesome stuff, happy to join you guys on our artistic progress.
>>7890344Very cool. Great volumes here.
>>7882185kek. I love this. I want to draw an iteration of it sometime if that would be alright with you.
>>7891030do a mad magazine cover version with alfred e. neuman getting a >What, me worry?tattoo. I wanted to change it to>fuck, me senseless!but it ended up as>minecraft 4 ever
>>7882185>>7891030something like this?
>>7889649Nice work!
>>7890745great hair!>>7891126lol
>>7891205thank you :)
Saw that that where anons where talking about franklin booth, decided to give his style a try. Surprisingly its not mentally exhausting despite being tedious as fuck. I changed brushes midway through and my stylus was losing its charge towards the end so I had to rush some things. Honestly I think I did pretty good
>>7890765thank you anonit will take a while for me to good at it but it is better than nothing
