>>7885671who are you OP actually? never seen your work before...
Where do I actually begin learning how to draw the human body? I'd love to grind anatomy but I don't think I'm good enough for that part yet.
>>7885674I hope you liked the OP picThis is the first time I've created this thread
>>7885676i mean the original OP
>>7885676holy APPEAL

>>7885671i'm glad my shitty owl made it in
Been a while since I’ve posted, life has been fucking crazy but I’m starting to find time to draw again.
>>7885671Based effortful OP
Finished this just in time for the new thread :)hello everyone!!
>>7885685Comfy
Posting ref in a bit, please critique
>>7885675you aren't allowed to draw the human form until you've drawn at least ten thousand boxes in perfect perspective

>>7885697wow, anonie! it looks so good! thanks for sharing, I really like your arstyle :D
>>7885671Two of my drawings made it into the pic lmfao
>>7885671>my edit in the OPLMFAO.
>>7885676Damn SEXY.
>>7885685Excellent.
>>7885690>>7885692>ref is a white/asian-looking cute girl>give it nigger hairYou reminded me of this.
what is so wrong with ballpoint pens and mechanical pencils for drawing?
>>7885725who the fuck says that?
>>7885725Nothing.
>>7885671they done slimed him
>>7885721Lol yeah, but otherwise how is it? Hopefully not as egregiously bad as the ones you posted in picrel
>>7885671Honestly, this OP picture is so fucking genius.>Medusa with implanted macho head>Medusa holding pen in one hand, severed head in the other>Demon-lion-god lamenting in the clouds above>Owl at the distance, "are you seeing this shit?">Chud staring up from below with despondent face, "it's over...">Dutch giant holding head along with Medusa, giving thumbs up>Bald bodybuilder Jojo stand floating and flexing above Dutch giant's tiny head>Foreboding epigraph behind Dutch giant>Skeleton DYEL man kneeling at giant's feet and staring up in despair at man's severed headI'm laughing so much. OP, you're a genius.
>>7885738I think the back should be a bit more curved; it's too straight.The mouth and the glasses are too straight; they need to be placed in perspective with the face/head.The ear should be a bit further down and back, I think.The hand of course needs working to give it a more realistic shape.But other than that, it isn't too bad.It seems that you struggle a lot with perspective as was also the case in your previous drawing. You should watch videos on it, maybe read a book on the subject, and practice more with 3D boxes.If you have a computer, I recommend you use Blender which allows you to move and rotate 3D models (including humans, body parts, etc.) so you can get a feel for what something would look like from a given perspective. CSP also has a built-in 3D feature, and Krita has a plugin for a Blender layer on top.
OK I've decided I need to work on propotions. However when I'm using sighting to measure lengths and angles, I feel like my drawings are more inaccurate than just eyeballing it. Is there something I'm missing?
worse than the other version but experimenting with stuff>>7885732so ridiculously kino. thank you for the mafia egil. >>7885671>>7885676literally the best OP this thread has ever gotten, I think. bravo. you're improving a lot and getting a lot more fluid in your figures as well, great stuff.
1 hour of so-called gestures
>>7885721Senseichad could take a white girl ref and turn her into a chimp with a huge footlong dick and bowling ball sized balls and it would rival the works of the old masters
>>7885750holy shit dude im so proud of you from moving on
>>7885741tyvm anon>watch videos/ read booksany you would recommend in particular? Another big issue I have is that I can't really tell what the problem is, even when it's pointed out, unless I see the corrected version, and only THEN does it click. Is that just a matter of drawing more and more until I can see it?
>>7885750>hundreds of hours of lines, circles, and boxes>only to have gestures that are prebeg tier lmao maybe this year you'll make a little bit of progress finally
>>7885750That's a whole lotta fun right thahr'
>>7885755>any you would recommend in particular?I don't really have trouble with basic perspective so I haven't gotten into advanced perspective yet, but some books I've seen recommended and that I plan to read in the future arehttps://annas-archive.li/md5/21ab796da3b53ee9b4a1bb2a3bd060bdhttps://annas-archive.li/md5/d78225b034921f940dca7eb75fa22efdhttps://annas-archive.li/md5/f05b8532a1ef28b0b70d8c6fcc1b1c4fhttps://annas-archive.li/md5/567283be360599cbf4958643950b5d10>even when it's pointed out, unless I see the corrected version, and only THEN does it clickI'm like that sometimes too. In that case you should watch drawing correction videos like those of Naoki Saitou:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVsu7ZeJcBMhttps://www.youtube.com/@saitonaoki2>Is that just a matter of drawing more and more until I can see it?I don't know. I imagine it has to do with spatial thinking. Women in general have lower spatial ability than men, so don't feel too pressured. It's natural that you're having trouble.Try using Blender as I said: imagine how a given object (like the default cube) would look like if you rotated left for example, and then rotate it in the viewport to see if you were right; practicing like this might help you perhaps.
Is anyone here old or did you start learning to draw at an advanced age?I started practicing and was having fun and everything, but suddenly it dawned on me that if I ever really learn to draw, I'll be 50 years old (considering it takes 10+ years to learn), and that destroyed my enthusiasm, lol.
>>7885774the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the next best time is nowI didn't start until my 30s, I will be pushing 40 by the time I'm close to /int/ level, and it's embarrassing seeing my /beg/ work compared to literal children's drawings, but I'd rather that than growing old and dying without ever being able to draw
>>7885772I've also seen these two books recommended a lot, but basically all those artists said they're pretty advanced, so better leave them for later:https://annas-archive.li/md5/3e2e65f11188c41a724253b54c268154https://annas-archive.li/md5/15f791153947632578e0c10cd00c31fc
>>7885772Thanks anon, will check out the info you posted>Women in general have lower spatial ability than men, so don't feel too pressured. It's natural that you're having trouble.Not sure if masterful trolling or genuine, but I'm a guy. Thanks tho lol
>>7885774If you can push through the embarrassment and inhibition you are golden, they are fake anyway
>>7885790very cool! However I'd up the contrast a little bit.
>>7885802I will but i have fix some issues i made a mistake first
Any tips to improve? I know the proportions are off, but I'm starting to think I might be retarded because even though I measure the proportions are always completely wrong in my drawings.
>>7885814You probably need a desk easel if you're drawing on a table. Your perspective is being warped.
>>7885814do you draw on a flat or angled desk? if you stretch your drawing to compensate for the perspective it's not so badyou could also embrace the shrimp posture
How does one cure aphantasia?I have an elephant's memory in things like history and conversations with other people but my studies dont register into my mind at all and when I try drawing from imagination I am met with a blank darkness. Like something is blocking me from manifesting images into my mind. Then I just start guessing and chicken scratching and searching for lines and I hate drawing while fumbling in the dark. Can this be cured or is there some hack to play around it?
>>7885814yah i'd say main issue is the proportions. if you measure out the right guidelines but don't keep them visible under what you're drawing sometimes you can fuck them up anyway, so be sure to keep them visible as you go!! the biggest impact it's had is on the midsection of her face (i.e nose, cheeks), you've made that as well as the top of her head too long. smaller issues: use a guideline for where the eyes/eyebrows are too. you can see that you've placed the left eye and eyebrow up a bit too high on the face. the face as a whole also looks a bit narrower than the referece, probs cus of the proportion issues.otherwise, great job on the lighting!! esp with the bounce light on the side of her face :D
are there any glaring issues with this slop that i have created (minus the hands and the obvious placeholder head)
>>7885792Kek, no problem.
>>7885671Heads in perspective warmup
>>7885824That's not aphantasia. You need actual specific things to build something, or anything. You say that you read, okay, your brain is full of inspiration, BUT, it's like you're a car, your tank is full of fuel, but you don't have any wheels. Get it?You need basic and complex shapes stored in your toolbox, and you need to learn those shapes (poses) a million times to be able to call them up whenever you need them for your mental idea to become a visual one.Start grinding basic figures on /FIG/ >>7884287
>>7885836Forgot pic wtf
>>7885824drawing from "imagination" is just a fancy way of saying drawing from memory. even if you can't envision anything, if you remember how things are drawn in different angles, you'll be able to draw "from imagination". if you don't have a mental library you won't be able to draw from imagination.for example, you might have a part of the body that you're very familiar with drawing, and you need less/no references to draw that part of the body in the pose you want. that's because you have a big mental library for that body part.on the other hand, there might be a body part you really struggle to draw and need lots of references for it. that's because you don't have a mental library for that part built up yet.there are 2 solutions: 1 is to simply draw more, trying to include parts you're uncomfortable with in each drawing to build up your mental library. 2 is that once you have a decent mental library, is to draw an image from reference, then draw that same image from memory, to get used to drawing from memory alone.we'll all get there asp!! stay strong anon and keep draiwng
the little face giggles in the mountains>>7885676looks great, also i loved the op>>7884898hhihhi thanksies :D>>7885823stunning
My biggest problem for the longest time has been the inability to draw backgrounds. It's like I hold what I've already made in so high value that I'm afraid to ruin it.
>>7885844ok
>>7885820>>7885826>>7885817Thanks. I'm aware of the distortion that comes from drawing at a desk and I even tried to account for it and look at the drawing from above but it didn't work. I guess having a desk easel would make it better, but I find them really uncomfortable compared to drawing on the desk. I guess shit's hard.
>>7885676Great work!
>>7885851always really like your draws, great stuff hitting the end of your current sketchbook, that’s always very refreshing
>>7885725I don't know. Ask the voices in your walls who told you that was an issue in the first place. Ballpoints are great.
Rate my honds. Critique please.
>>7885750Suggestion- try switching to a program with an animation timeline. CSP, Krita, Drawpile, Tahoma2D, Pencil2D, it doesn't matter which. I used to use layers as digital sketchbook pages for years before switching to Krita and figuring out that using keyframes was thousands of times better for it. It's way easier than hiding and unhiding a hundred layers to switch pages, it's keyboard shortcut friendly, you can have multiple layers on the timeline (so you can put templates in the background for example) and the whole shebang can be exported into a folder neatly ordered and labeled. For your particular use case, you can either export the pages as a video or hit play while you're screen recording so you don't have to flip through the pages manually to show them to /beg/.
>>7885836
>>7885868Like 5-6. Get better at drawing the cylinder in space and study the muscles and bones of the hand
I'm struggling really hard at "finding the boxes" when I don't have the clavicle as a reference point
>>7885880Pyw
>>7885790What's up with the nasty ass corpse colored fingernails? The nail bed should at most be slightly more saturated than the skin of the hands, not significantly darksr and gray.
>>7885878Mm, indeed! I haven't studied the hand in depth yet. Thank you.
How’s this so far

i'm so used to drawing and seeing women that when i try to do men i feel like i can only produce twinksthis is so hard and vexing
>>7885888>>7885891Mighty quadriceps and sternocleidomastoids.
>>7885886Looks good to me.
>>7885894Good eye, they are a bit bigger than need be. Thanks for the crit. >>7885895Okay cool, thanks
>>7885893Use specific lines for each gender. Longer, curvier ones for women and larger, wider and rougher ones for men
My first couple attempts constructing a figure from reference. any weak points to prioritize?
4B lead is really difficult to use holy shit
>>7885693Her torso's a bit... long, innit? Made her look like she's one of those long cats, legs are also too short due to the torso mix-up. Nice colors and feel to it though.
>>7885918Kek, you're right. I deleted half of her torso to see what it would look like. NTA btw.
I feel like I should draw a lot more to improve quickly, but it takes me a lot of time to do barely decent-looking drawings, so I'm worried that if I try drawing more the drawings will be too low quality to elicit any improvement.What do you guys think? Should I just spam shit until improvement or continue the slow and steady way?
>>7885925Don’t rush your drawings but understand that every drawing, no matter how long it took, is making you better. Slow and steady wins the race. Just try to keep producing and you’ll be fine
>>7885926Alright, fren. Thank you<3
*DJ Khaled voice* anotha one >>7885927No problem, fren. We’re all gonna make it
>>7885936autismcore
>>7885925Never sacrifice quality for anything, espeically when ur still learning. Otherwise you end up like most anons here, half-assing all their work because it became a habit.
Some facial muscle studies for practicing facial expressions >>7885941See you get it
>>7885918yeh, I made a mistake in the inking and the upper torso ended up looking bigger
>>7885944You're right.
Sonic doodles
>>7885948First batch done
More drawings. From ref/memory. Hand bones are fun to draw >>7885974
>>7885882I know i have to fix it tonight Im suck at drawing good hands
>>7885671How beg is my drawing?
>>7886022Pretty good, proportions could use work and hands are too big
>>7886022I like it
>>7886024Ok thanks, can you point what besides hands needs to be worked in terms of proportions?
Can someone explain the light source/ value pattern in this to me?? I don’t get it at all>>7886035Upper torso is a bit too long. Arms are a bit too short too, the humerus ends about right next to the bottom of the rib cage and the hand is just below the pubis bone. Thigh isn’t long enough either, it has a lot more muscles than you think. Lower leg seems about right but it could be like an inch longer and it wouldn’t look wrong. Just study the bones really
Wanted to try hatching, and also making it look like it was a paper idk it came out good
>>7886039Did you draw the lines yourself?
>>7886045the paper lines? no I used a png from google
>>7885970>>7885974Really good, actually.
>>7886048Thanks anon>>7886047Ah okay, interesting
>>7885970I like these lol. The one with the wings is my favorite
>>7886004The hands themselves are actually pretty good, you just make some odd color choices. IIRC all the work I've seen you post has the same kind of dark, grayish nails. Nails are a little more pink/purple, but they don't contrast with the hand very much at all.Your colors might improve overall if there was a context of background atmospheric and direct light color for you to work with. Pure white makes it more confusing to choose proper colors, esp. skin tones. Marco Bucci's videos on ambient light color are very helpful in this regard.
>>7886038Ok thanks. Now that you mentioned that stuff i can see it more clearly
>>7886060No problem
>>7886022Wanted to add that I really fuck with the way you drew the face here. Saved it for future study, idk how to put my finger on it but it’s very nice.
>>7886022Nah, /int/. Very good face. The back of the head needs enlarged by a sliver, I think.
>>7886079Clothes r hard
>>7885974Actually Pawellian, unstoppable negative gains maxxing, keep going anon you can do it.
Ever since I got a drawing tablet I've been religiously using blend tools. How do I stop relying on blend/blur tool so much?
>>7886102Thanks anon, im always at it. Just looked him up and ran into this and now I completely see why people think I’m him lmfaohttps://pawell2418.github.io/
Am I doing the gesture drawings in right way? It does not look flowy like other gesture drawings.I thought I need to see whole body at once to do gestures I only see half the body. Am I doing it right?
>>7886110Doing a very good job of capturing the overall shapes and forms of the larger masses but not such a good job with the gesture part. Try to have more flow
>>7886110And something I enjoyed. (I know its not that good)
>>7886114Thanks for advice! How can I get better flows? I don't think I get it. Maybe I can try to see the whole body at once?
>>7886114Ok axis of the body, Spine, draw in short time. It took like an hour to draw those 8. Gotta go fast.
>>7886116Identify the line of action and go from there. >>7886117Don’t rush anon
>>7886106do a challenge like 100 portraits with only the hard round brush or something like that
>>7886114what book is this from

>>7886136You have to be 18+ to post here.
>>7886125I still don't really get the method for using hard round, I know you alt pick the in between colors to blend but I can't make it look good
>>7886129never heard of this guy but he seems pretty goodthanks
>>7886143God forbid someone has a doodle page
>>7886149Does reading comprehension also not start until adulthood?
>>7886148No problem. It’s a solid book, the perspective and construction bits in particular are very good
>>7886143>>7886150Pyw
not sure if i'm feeling this one... i think i chose too hard of a subject. probably should've gone with a frog. a toad like this is very warty and kinda overwhelming me
>>7886159You've been working in this for several days. Meanwhile senseichad has sucked at least 15 dicks in that time and could have drawn over 100 photorealistic frogs
>>7886159With the other anon, you have been working on this way too long. You could’ve done like 50 frogs by now. Just get this out of the way and get to the next drawing.
Any of you know a resource that can teach me charcoal drawing but in Photoshop. I want to make stuff similar to this. Portraits and bodies (even though that's more of a general matter)
>>7886159https://youtube.com/watch?v=6FN5jL1SC2o
>>7886169i agree i guess i just get anxious finishing drawings sometimes so i end up just chipping away at it too slowly
Aahhhhhh this is so boring. I want to DIE!
>Finish a drawing>Feel pretty good about it>Start another>Suddenly every single skill is goneI know consistency is something that can only be trained through repetition, but man few things make me lose momentum as much as this. This is my cue to go back to studies and stop bitching.
wip.I'm tempted to leave it without coloring
>>7886196Really good anon. Great line work
>>7886201I wish I could render like that? Mind telling me how you learnt that skill?
>>7886201why her vagina so smal?
>>7886208She was built to serve shotas.
>>7886202Thank you>>7886201Really nice perspective
>>7886203I'm not that advanced, but basically you overpaint part by part. You start with a cell shaded sketch in grayscale and then you add stuff on top, including gradients and more values until you are satisfied>>7886208:(
>>7886212From the perspective of a simple beg I'd say you're advanced if not a high int.
>>7886208Hasn't tried bbc yet
>>7886212also it is very easy to adjust stuff on the go (compared to just drawing line art) since every part is its own layer so You can transform and move shit, go wild
>>7886212Great stuff
>>7886203learn simple cellshading first, then learn about soft and hard edges.
How do i make the eyes not look like utter dogshit ive been procrastinating severely due to not wanting to look at this shit
>>7886235Is that a gun she's loading with a cube? Deepest lore
>>7886235I think you should simplify them, they're more detailed than the rest of the face.and the lady with the staff is at a fucked up angle that rarely looks good, maybe just cheat and turn her head a bit
>>7886235The eyes look fine. Do you mean the ones in profile?
>>7886235You're at a point where you're still a beg but you're starting to grasp perspective. Learn head construction and how the eye fits inside the skull. It would make things clearer

does this looks better? i think i fucked up the muscles on the left arm, but overall im quite happy with this, just need to touch up some things + add the ear. he doesn't look much like a twink anymore i think and it's my first time trying to do linework on something that isn't chibi>>7885897okay, i tried applying that and made it more straight than curvy, althought i'm sure it could be better; regardless, thank you>>7885902pardon my ignorance but what do you mean by posture? i rather like the demure/melancholic pose since i think it fits the nature of it and im naturally drawn to those things

It never occurred to me that I could use my laptop's touchpad as a tiny graphics tablet.Here's a Loomis head I made with it. Kek.
>>7886326I wouldn't be so sure. Nowadays there seems to be too many people who seethe unbelievably hard at the mere existence of children.The mere insinuation that the anon might be a child sends them into rage mode as you just saw.
>>7886330He's just a nasty no draw weirdo. This place is a millennial cemetery. Youngsters are far, far away from this god forsaken barren land. Kids don't draw anymore, they want high tech environments, like X, Youtube or chat platforms like Discord, etc. Most grown ass people draw like shit, most can't even handwrite. This board will remain as one of the last places of people drawing any real art. I hope jannies keep the AI slop virus out of this board. Another reason why you won't find brats here, no AI sloppa.
i don't understand color or light at all

Any advice for someone whos drawing for the first time ever? Never liked drawing after being a kid but I want to get into it anyway because I want to draw people
>>7886391aside from the stuff already in the OP, of course. I'm just asking for stuff that helped you guys
>>7886391Don't forget to give us an update when you quit in a week.
i want to fucking kill myself how can i go from okayish figgies one day to forgetting how to hold a stylus the next?
>>7886391Draw poses, simple, not detailed, use light pencil strokes, you need to memorize those silhouettes and basic figure shapes. Your brain will fill the blanks with time. Go to /FIG/ and do what they do: >>7885921 >>7885979 >>7886219
>>7886401thanks homie
How often do you get angry enough to delete everything you’re working on it’s about every two weeks for me. Usually I can’t draw for a couple of days afterwards.
>>7886422I don't know, I complete stuff within a day usually.
>>7886422bad drawings are part of the jorney and should be preservedI like looking at my really old stuff like picrel because it gives a feeling of progress
>>7886240I sometimes feel like im out of shape. Like imagine drawing was like having muscles and because i spent like a month not exercising the drawing and doing other things, or even just drawing from imagination without having spent like a week before doing figure drawings its almost like i forgot everything
>>7886443You seem to be in quite good shape buddy
>>7886361Why is there crusty cum stains on his shirt?
>>7886434What's your art look like now?
>>7886451>>7885676
>>7886455Really nice progress, how many years apart is that?
>>7886449That's Noah "Imma super model" Bradley most probably, search him up and you will know why the crusty cum stains
>>78864585 years since I don't have talent and moderate adhd
>>7886461I feel your pain
Thoughts so far?

>>7886461Rein you are super good at this I hope I can draw as well as you some day
test
>>7886478thanks browe all gonna make it
I'm so fuarking proud of my progress bros I legit can't believe I drew thisbut I'm still so bad at rndering skin, I don't know how to render anything properly

Study from a sketch I saw on twt, really like how the artist drew their anatomy so tried to emulate that.
>>7886443i assume all the empty space will be filled up with speech bubbles?
I switched to digital a year ago and now I feel like a retard every time I go back to trad
>>7885671How do you get this level of rendering/shading? I only really do two tone shading, it looks like it takes weeks to do illustrations like this and too many layers. Is it in the brushes or layer tricks used?
>>7885827Hmm I don't think so.
I haven't drawn anything interesting lately so here's an old piece just to contribute.
>>7886596The hardest part of doing rendered pieces is the time it takes really. If you tried it yourself you'd get the hang of it quickly.
wow this thread turned into a hugbox post-ai back in my days you would get called ngmi for posting something short of mona lisa
>>7886610What do you think about my drawing>>7886591
>>7886611better than anything I could ever draw
>>7886528cute!
>>7886596"Tahraart" on Instagram draws similar to this and he has a handful of timelapses uploaded maybe you can check that out
>>7882065hang every nigger who says to "draw for fun" instead of doing studies>>7886584kino>>7886339>i don't understand color or light at allyour attempt looks decent to me still, cute cat(boy, hopefully)
>>7886591From what I've seen, digital art is EXTREMELY forgiving, so it's natural that your drawing will be all sorts of retarded if you draw with the same habits.
>>7886600Cute
>>7886596it's color theory and hue shift abuse. Playing with saturation alot. But what gives this feeling is just added noise.
>>7886630yes it's a boy. thank you
escargot
>>7886631Not him but it is. Digital has insanely OP tools like liquify, transform, infinite layers, undo history, etc that trad has absolutely no answer to. Digital's workflow allows you to attempt significantly more ambitious drawings than you'd be willing to attempt on trad.
>>7886635I'm not that guy but thanks for demonstrating this because goddamn is the difference some noise makes genuinely staggering

>>7886665Kino
>>7886665Thank you for serving as living proof that grinding cubes will not teach you anything than cubes
>>7886665For a complete beginner with no experience drawing, you did really well!
>>7886676He's technically not, tho. He's been at it for a year, but it's taken him this long to move from lines and boxes to this.
I’ve quited drawing
>>7886680Look up anon. It's the joke going over your head!
>>7886680Do you have a guide about where people should be, skill wise, after a year/two years/etc.? I would like to see it.
>>7886686Shit, that's what I get for being too literal, kek.>>7886688I don't, nobody does, but everyone knows if you only draw lines and boxes for a year nothing will come of it. Like, what did the anon expect would happen?
Are the texture and colour of these accurate?
>>7886696I don't think so. The leather one seems too fuzzy and the metal one seems too speckled, I think. Which metals are a light green? Oxidized copper is a darker green
>>7886706I was going for a bright geen light, then used purple on shadows for contrast but yeah, I don't feel too confident about it.
>>7886710It does give me the impression of a ceramic or gemstone like Jade, so it's not like it's bad but I still think you should reduce the speckles on it.There are many resources on the internet for leather and metal textures, so don't complicate yourself too much by doing everything from scratch.
>>7886696your matte looks more metal than your metal
I'm gradually going through the TACO point character drawing bookwith every single one of these I realise just how incapable I am of drawing a head from any angle, so I'm looking forward to that section soon
Dood, how in the world is this one of my better original drawings despite me just using scribbly lines. Also i still have no idea how to do shading.
>>7886731Rendering is overrated. Look at Kim Jung Gi, he didn't give two shits about rendering.
>>7886746>Kim Jung Gi>Gentic outlier>Probably has photograpic memory>AsianLiterally the worst example on a beg/int thread.
>>7886731its not good at all, youre comparing zero to zero
>>7886731Paige-esque
>>7886725do u have this book in japanese or english?
>>7886746Name a single drawing of KJG's that people remember.
>>7886746>Rendering is overratedToo bad that it's the best stuff has always a bit of rendering>Look at Kim Jung GiUnwatchable clutter
>>7886757Easy
>>7886672>cubesbut he never drew actual forms, just flat shapes...
>>7886760basedthe upper-left portion says>listen..>it's only for once!!>KJG is a pervert>..a pervert!!>you get it?!
>>7886760If gooning is good for Kim Jung Gi, then Gooning is good enough for me. I made up my mind. Thanks Sensei wherever you are.
>>7886769we exist to ejaculate (preferably in vaginas to procreate) so how can gooning ever be seen as something bad

>>7885823Where can I masturbate to more of your work?
>>7886774think the environment the thing is around instead of narrowly thinking colorsand try to transfer surrounding lightings to eachother
>>7886778i dont know what any of this means
>>7886783they look alright, but the point is to understand what causes which chunks of lightingand for that, i recommend single light source or if not, think and practice transferring the lighting condition of each references to eachother
>>7886783Every object is a mirror.

>>7886754Yeah i know. Im dogshit at this and i've been doing it over a year at this point.
>>7886789whered u get it?
>>7886755Whatever that means.
>>7886814You don't wanna know..
Thoughts so far? My shading feels iffy here but idk if I’m just being pedantic
>>7886817
>>7886731to learn shading, learning form is a prerequisite.
>>7886817Pawelll if he had talent.
>>7886817>>7886818what book is this?
>>7886820lol thanks anon>>7886821https://archive.org/details/nouvelleanatomie02richDo not sleep on Paul Richer. One of the best anatomy teachers out there and I rarely see him mentioned
>>7886823boomer tier
>>7886824Lmfao it is but hey it’s a good book
>>7886672Did he really draw boxes for a year and not learn anything? That's pretty impressive, actually.
>>7886833no he drew squares and circles
>>7886835Seriously??? Just that? For a YEAR?!
>>7886270Base colorsMight mess with the saturation of the hair
>>7886838I think a bit longer but yes, extremely rarely he drew some cylinders and cubes but for 95% of the time its shapes and line exercises
could've done better with the shading, especially the right foot
>>7886841crotch is unappealing
>>7886841boobs are unappealing
>>7886842Doing warm up exercises for a whole year is really something. Holy cow lol
>>7886849>>7886850Could you be more specific please?
>>7886854make her crotch gap wider. ungonnable
>>7886757Is this philistine nigger serious?

>>7886866soft brush looks like trash
>>7886866The one on the right (thick lineart) looks better

>>7886841needs child bearinghips
>>7886874>ai on photoshopLiterally fucking why? What the fuck does ai on PS even do? Genuinely asking because this sounds like massive bloatware.
>>7886891I was asking for without, i just mistyped
>>7886891People will cope and tell you its for some stock reason that companies keep shoehorning this shit in but I think it's literally just to gatekeep quality of life and make your baseline of living harder. TLDR: Jews.
>>7886878i should, i'm just not sure how to go about it and afraid i'll end up muddying if i do it wrong
>>7886897Anon one thing about being an artist is that you cannot be afraid to make mistakes or take risks . There are so many drawings I fucked up because I wanted to do something special but I learned what does/doesn’t work, which is what matters most. Do what you please, it’s your drawing. But experimenting is never hurtful
>>7886897Also to go about it just shade it like a sphere, easy
>>7886886I’m not against the idea but I saw this cg and had the idea for her showing off her spats
>>7886892Unless you're a professional, just use whatever is similar. CSP, Krita, Affinity, etc. are all useable, sometimes better than Photoshop. Otherwise, just search for a torrent using yandex, it's a good search engine for such things.
>>7886853awesome, can you post more stuff like this?

Posting this before going to bed. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this before moving forward with it. More WT stuff since I don't really know what to draw.It's looking nice but I can sense some slight errors when it comes to proportions. A redline would be greatly appreciated.I know her grippers are a glaring flaw but I'm content keeping them vague since I'll be covering them up anyway. Btw, Ai Kitora's eyes are a bitch to draw. I want to capture the focused and discerning gaze she's got going on but it usually just ends up looking too different.>>7885671
>>7886799She's always barefoot lately... Anon... Have you become a foot fag like a real chad?
>>7886910you need a hobby. maybe try drawing sometime
how do I get my linework better? I'm not really getting the form right.
>>7886913She is wearing socks :/She doesn't wear her boots when she is exercising or when she goes to sleep
>>7886919Keep talking like that and you and me are gonna end up like this.
How do I get in on those furbucks. I want on the gravy train
>>7886912The first thing that jumps out at me is the pose is kinda awkward, looks like somebody's bending her arm backward.
>>7886930You're on the right track
Saw this somewhere. HOW do you fix it?
>>7886918Focus on drawing better forms

>>7886948Yep.

>>7886955Idc he's still a GOAT , he's here with us drawing RIGHT NOW get the fuck outta here with that fake news
>>7886947Yeah. Literally just draw shit like this a lot. Get into the habit of drawing cylinders / basic forms to start drawings. See everything in terms of perspective >>7886952I did the T. rex study but not the other drawing >>7886955Idk if this is about me but if it is, I don’t trace, never have, and never will.
>>7886939Dios mios
Sometimes I wonder how many of my countless failures I can blame on the brushes. Probably none
>>7886953Not OP, don't ever draw girls but thought i'd red line it for fun.
>>7886939I guess you could look for more appropriate 3D models, the anatomically correct ones you get by default in most software work on us adult whitoids but you need dedicated anime models with rounder, bigger heads sometimes
>>7886964You have succeeded in activating my neurons, however.

Back with a couple of completed watercolor and ink jank paintings that I did this week. I sold this one for $80 at the coffee shop I go to.
This one I got tired of looking at it and called it good enough for my wall.

>>7886921Oh, good on her.
Is there a specific way to draw these cyilanders and circles better like a different way to hold the pen or do I just gotta do it a lot until I got it down?
why does my watercolor brush in krita look so monochromatic despite changing hues?

>>7886999Ambient light/color. Your whole background is blinding white so your colors aren't well differentiated.Some authors have to fix their colors sometimes because they peak intense colors due to their white background, but once they add background scene/color, the colors become too intense.I watched a video that talked about this with examples, but I bookmarked multiple videos and don't which one is the one.Anyways, change the background color.
I want to explode.

Please use this (or any lineart(or composition/but lineart is better) from here https://www.wikiart.org/en/paintings-by-media/pencil#!#filterName:all-works,viewType:masonry ) that's basically complex or have variations enough to be, natural, and teach reflection+refraction+translucency... Mostly refraction and translucency and how it is planned/drawn on objects thus letting you know what shape, what color, what value on the subjects.
>>7887049Its my style Intentionally but i can reduce the value if you want ¯\(ツ)/¯
WIP i did this evening of some tiny critters finding a pack of smokes. Curious what others think of it so far. I want to finish it tomorrow. ignoring some of the glaringly /beg/ anatomy and faces, i feel like it's still too stiff and shouldn't have taken as long as it did. I am always so tense when I draw i feel like it's forming bad habits ergonomic-wise and slowing me down. still had fun.
How’s everyone’s day been?>>7886985How long does it take for you to make something like this? Seems like a good side hustle>>7887020But why do you want to explode?>>7887060Just draw two triangles overlapping each other :) it’s that easy>>7886994Chill out man quality over quantity. Pull your lines, don’t push. Your lines should be easy and smooth. Put some music on and draw random squiggly curved lines and feel how the pen glides on the paper, like you’re dancing with it.
how do i git gud with skin/hair
>>7886994You guys think this is an improvement from the last ones?Im a total beginner lol, I barely even drew as a kid so im learning everything from a blank slate
>>7887101blank slate is an advantage, people who drew as kids have to go through the hurdle of unlearning symbol drawing.
>>7887099>Pull your lines, don’t push. Your lines should be easy and smooth.im left handed (technically amibexterous but functionally left handed with a pen)
>>7887099>>7886985About 4-5 hours without the dry time. I use wet in wet for the sky and it is done in three layers. The stars took the longest.
>>7887099I hope you keep posting good art and mass replying, we need more of that.
>>7887099It’s been good. Got some edibles so I’m feeling groovy while I draw. Love the art as well, very 70’s and trippyThanks for the advice about stars, I’ll give it a shot
Ass from imagination with made up anatomy
>>7887100
>>7887103>looks up what symbol drawing isFuck I wish I had been blank slate, man. The worst part of learning fundamentals for me has been realizing a lot of my old drawings kinda suck.Also why is the captcha a fucking IQ test right these days? Jesus
>>7887109Thanks man I'll be a bit more active on here, I had a good kick about 6 months ago where I was drawing every day. Sadly my new job has destroyed my drawing schedule as well as my liver.

question broskisi wanna learn how to draw and stuff, im a giga fan of monsters/creatures/armor/knights, etc.i need to buy a sketchbook and a pencil but i wanna buy a drawing tablet as welli heard about screenless tablets and im not sure if that'll be a good purchase even if they're mostly inexpensivethoughts? also posting a lil work here, even though its just pixel art and not exactly drawing kek
I'm proud of myself, I managed to draw for a few hours (granted it was only working on a single fanart sketch) without feeling burnt outit's probably silly sounding but, i'm still happy with my work today
I think #3 has the best lines here but I need more practice with the other angles. >>7887131>i heard about screenless tablets and im not sure if that'll be a good purchase even if they're mostly inexpensivehttps://estore.wacom.com/en-us/wacom-intuos-s-black-us-ctl4100.htmlI bought this yesterday and picked it up today from BestBuy. It's cheap as fuck and I'm having a blast. Also you don't need a sketchbook, just grab some office paper and a number 2 pencil and go at it. I'm using Photoshop because my job gives us Adobe Creative Cloud for free but you can just use GIMP or Paint.NET
>>7887131If you can afford to buy a tablet with a screen, buy itt. someone who used a screenless tablet for 3-4 years
>>7887137ive used both for 5~6 years and i am not sure screened tablets have absolute advantage over screenlessi feel like it is a matter of preference for digital work
>>7887136>>7887137yeah, the Wacom seems pretty gud and one of my fav artists (Jordan Grimmer) uses that which surprised me, since i always felt that screenless is a bit too awkward for pro's>Also you don't need a sketchbook, just grab some office paper and a number 2 pencil and go at it. truuuue, though i wanna keep everything nice and tidy with all my sketchingi wanna focus hard first on concept art and sketching, since i think that's the way to go, at least with monsters, dinosaurs, dragons and so on.>If you can afford to buy a tablet with a screen, buy ithonestly that's true, because a screen seems a lot more comfortable even though I have heard people say that screenless tablet is better due to no neck/back pain like with screen

Does anyone know how to do cross hatching in PS? Doesn't look as good as on normal paper and pencil.
coloring with multiple layers is so weird but eh, tried doing something different. idk if its good, it was fun and fast but im too lazy and done to finish it>>7886364thanks chief, im really bad picking references for men hahawhat is the meaning of the eye on the right>>7887131my worthless beg opinion is that screen tablets are overratedi had one for a good while that my friend gifted and besides the obvious back/neck pain, the gamma and colors were really different from my monitors also the screen being too small. if i were to buy a screen tablet myself i'd get one with a huge display
>>7887093Bump, because it's called studying, not get lucky. Then again it's a shit market so everyone says , for... No reason at all too.
>>7886591How do I make the paper whiter? I want to draw over this digitally
>>7887178brightness/contrast on photoshop maybe?
>>7887094Well, okay then. Why is it your style intentionally to color fingernails like a corpse's though? It's such an off the wall stylistic choice that I thought you were doing it by mistake somehow.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck lineart.
>>7887131amazing piece. get a screenless
>>7887197Very nice lines and design, I love it
>>7887131Amazing work, blog?
What's wrong with the lighting on this? Is it too desaturated? It feels muddy.
>>7887255It trusts itself and it's own favorite author. Also it's not ready for anything not esoterics. Kinda like Einstein. Nobody likes to look limp either.
What should I do to improve?>drawI did that and I'm still a permabeg
>>7887276Draw while following a course?
>>7886591I feel like it lost something
>>7887278what course would you recommend?
>>7887126it will get better>>7887001mandatory ear and tail fluff
>>7887280I haven't done any yet, but I plan to start soon the two courses by Hide and Chyan which are highly recommended in the Courses thread. After those two I plan to do Kasa's Deformation course which teaches how to draw loli characters. After that I'll read books on how to draw sexy oneesans and oneeshota specifically.Once I get a graphics tablet and can draw digitally, I plan to do Yejji's "High Density Coloring" course or just practice with YouTube videos from skillful artists like the ones in >>7887026.Until now I've just been doing basic exercises and learning/drawing basic anatomy. I started two weeks ago.
>>7887099>But why do you want to explode?Same as always. I'm overworked with stuff I postponed and I'll be unable to draw for part of this week again.
i will never be japanese
>>7887297>>7887304be positive guys
>>7887305after years of stagnation you just can't be positive anymore
>>7886999>>7887304Changing the background color worked, didn't it?
>>7886110Is it better flow wise?
>>7887320Pretty cool.
>>7887131I use a tiny-ass screenless Wacom bamboo that I bought off a guy for like, 20 Dollars. It took me a good while to get used to the disconnect of looking at a screeen and drawing in another surface, but once you get used to it, it's great. Highly worth it.Now, I'd probably recommend buying something with a larger drawing area, I'm just a cheapskate. Don't buy a tiny-ass wacom bamboo.That's some great work
>bweehhhh I can't draw facesNo longer an argument. This artist has shit tier permabeg faces that gets mogged by half the thread and 100k followers. Permabegschizo VINDICATEDhttps://x.com/p_u_p_i
>>7887131Just use a tablet with screen. Why even consider a screenless one?
>>7887233Thanks bro
>>7887338Just from taking a quick look at their profile I can see>they're a dramafag who stirs shit up for attention (apparently accused some other artist of using AI, and talks about country rivalries like Portugal vs Spain), which gives them followers even if their art is shit>they're a simp for the vtuber Lumi (which gives them followers even if their art is shit)>by the way they talk, they sound like a massive faggot or a woman, which gives them followers from LGBTLQJFKEJ fags, simps, and feminist cunts>addicted to social media, per AI: "77,000 tweets over 15 years averages to about 5,133 tweets per year, or approximately 14 tweets per day."So basically, what you're saying is, "hurr durr you can be a permabeg if you just become a virtuesignalling dramachasing faggot simp who's posting on social media 24/7 broo!!".
>>7887336>>7887340thanks a ton for the advicehonestly yeah im gonna check into one with a screen, focus on saving up a lot of money and get one with screenmy goal would be a 22, that'd be the sex
>>7887351Yes, the secret code has finally been cracked. Your technical skill doesn't matter.
>>7887357But it took them 15 years of doing that insufferable shit nonstop just to reach that point.You're better off just grinding your drawing skills for 1-5 years. You'll be leagues above the likes of that fag.
>>7887353I'm telling you dude screen tablets are a waste of money, way way over priced. Practice hand eye coordination with a mouse and then use a non display. If you're going to buy a display, do not buy wacom ($$$$). also cool 40k art
>>7887380unappealing shape design
Something I gave up on. Perspective just feels off.>>7887291Insanely cute, but I feel like the ear is a bit out of place, and the middle bangs seem really high up
>>7887020>>7887291the god of huge ayylien foreheads
Someone told me to pull my lines and not push them, I think it made a difference but I'm trying to pull-push as well back and forth for lines, but they don't seem to come out well, but I think I am doing better now. Still struggling with circles.
>>7887427Lets fucking gooooo!!!!!!!Alright I'm gonna try drawing something else
Didnt draw anything like a week
Coloring feels like a mess (again), even with referencesI want a simple cel-shaded look. can I have some advice on how to proceed? Light should feel like its coming from above. SHe's looking at something in her hand.
>>7887380Seconded. A screenie's only really worth it if you can get a big one. Anything smaller than ~20" isn't worth it imo, because the benefits of drawing directly on a screen are negated by the absolutely miserable vertical space restrictions. I have an 11.6" XP-Pen and it has an abysmal 5.7" of vertical real estate. I can't stand using it unless I rotate it on its side, because otherwise everything is way too tiny and cramped. Maybe if tablet manufacturers weren't brainless retards that don't think things through and stopped manufacturing only 16:9 widescreens, it'd be possible to have anything smaller than a massive $500-$1000+ desk hog be not practically unusable in the standard orientation and only begrudgingly usable when rotated. Would it kill them to make a 4:3 tablet? Seriously. Now compare that with the teeny Wacom Bamboo tablet I had that I used comfortably for years because, despite the size of the tablet itself being small (only 8"), I could pair it with a much larger screen that I could view everything at a comfortable size. Learning the hand-eye coordination isn't hard and is only a one-time obstacle. Like riding a bike, you learn how to do it once and then you never forget.

>>7887530Which drawing program do you use and where did you learn how to use it? I'm thinking of getting a graphics tablet.
>>7887558CSP but you can use pretty much any software, I dont really use exclusive feats of it anyway. As for how to paint like this in particular I watched a couple of lack's timelapse videos.
>>7887567Got it, thank you.
>>7887530Man that process looks painful and hard as fuck. No disrespect towards you but I don't know how pros do it.
>>7887588thats just me not knowing wtf I wanna do until pretty much the very end. Watching pros makes it look easy.
>>7887404I love it. You should finish it.
why do i want to show my art work to others? why i have that desire?

>>7887279Help me out please what's wrong with this
>>7887279Perspective and forms are inconsistent. Draw through every form, establish a ground plane and draw . Notice on the robot on the right (art by tb choi) how everything follows a particular vanishing point and there’s an established ground plane. Emulate that process with this drawing

It's cool how you draw with thick lines that still make the figures look good>>788745220 inch screen is insane for wacom prices, I just use an xp pen with 10" working space since its cheap and big enough to get decent work done, I used to draw with a wacom intuos small which does not have any space but is a 4:3
>>7887676Fuck you too
>>7887660Questionable fashion sense.

Big beautiful ghost lady, done as a challenge to capture dynamic perspective and translucent shading in a lineart style(which I obv suck at) and to draw a cute OC.>>7885750i would reccomend trying to block out the shapes of the figure more directly rather than building them from simple shapes, especially for (what I assume) to be very quick, simple gestures from observation.>>7885823Very much envious of your linework, and excellent use of it and shading to convey volume.>>7885888I kneel... I should do an animal muscle study soon.>>7887111You've captured quite a few of the palpable anatomical, landmarks. Love how soft the shading feels, almost like a pastel drawing.

Is there any sort of roadmap of things and tasks to do so i dont feel overwhelmed? i like to have a thing, learn it, get good, and then check it off the list and go work towards something else. There's so many aspects i dont know where to start. Should i just grab a book and start copying ? Oh and painting is another can of worms i have to go through when i get good at drawing after like 5 years

>>7888005bluesky has worse image compression than xitter and has no proper gallery view for media
>>7888009I mean...are there people on it? Is it a "Social media"? Normies only use 5 sites because that's where everyone is, it's a social hub. You can't have a decentralised platform...I suppose I got a response to my own question.
>>7887867Maybe yout sketch justs sucks, I need to see your work.>>7887854Doing hair is very fun because you dont actually draw a single line, you start with a big brush for the shape and then you use the lazo tool to carve out the final form. I usually do separate layers for the bangs, the side hair and back hair. Then you add gradients and paint the individual hair strands in their own multiply layers
>>7887975>I love the way you implied dimension on the ball!Thank you. The beetle itself could've looked better though, but so it goes.

Also did this yesterday and was pretty happy with it, though it was with ref and I'm not happy with how masculine the face looks, plz advise
>>7888365Ref
>>7888365use A4 papers
>>7888368Okay, but why? I didn't realize it mattered. Also any critique on the artwork?
>>7888365Don't chicken scratch, that seems like you're simply hiding mistakes and poor line control. You should also try to add more overlaps, like in the forearm-bicep connection, and pinches in the waist.
>>7888377>chicken scratchOh shit, is this not something that goes away with practice? I don't want to ingrain bad habits>overlapsSorry, can you explain a little more? I did overlap shapes when blocking it out and then erased the lines as I went, but I'm guessing that's not what you mean
>>7888369Nothing wrong with drawing on ruled paper imo, unless you're planning on making a finished piece in which you wouldn't want the lines.you seems like rushed to finish the drawing. pick easy things to draw first then you can slowlly increase complex things to draw. more you draw better you get at drawing from observation.Jason Brubaker - memory drawing systemhttps://youtu.be/s_NuJIJ6wGYhttps://youtu.be/G8e2DcN5kAohttps://youtu.be/S9Cx4pIjSvAhttps://youtu.be/gkbQnBi_JqUi am basically reapeating things from this https://hackmd.io/UMnZVhNITW-T2wZpHw6d0Q
>>7888381this guy >>7888377 is trolling nothing wrong with doing chicken scratch
Cute or nah?This is the first girl I've drawn with no ref that actually came out, imo, cute. More scott-pilgrimy than I intended but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
>>7888389Alright thanks anon. What gives the impression that I am rushing? I am taking my time and redoing a lot of what I put on the page, so I don't want it to look like I'm rushing when I'm doing my best not to lol>linksty again>>7888390fuuuark don't know who to believe anymore
>>7888381This drawing by Xiao Weichun shows how the muscles of the forearm overlap. It's obviously super exaggerated in this drawing, but you can see how the wrist covers and is covered by the forearm muscles.And for chicken scratch, just draw one or two lines to show stuff than one million little ones, it makes it easier to slightly erase and draw over them too.
>>7888398Ok, I understand now, thank you. I showed >>7888361 to someone else and she said the wrist tapers off to be too narrow. Is this true? I can't see it; I was trying to draw a skinny guy, and that forearm thickness seems right to me, but I'm bad at spotting errors in my work
>>7888398did you expect him to do overlapping without knowing any kind of basic anatomy?
Is there any benefit tο doodling like so?

>>7888595Keep drawing
>>7888595Keep drawing, the only way to "fix it" is to get better at it. Getting angry won't make you magically better. Treat the art of drawing as a mystery cult, and the act of drawing as a performative ritual of magic. You have to infuse meaning into this thing you want to get good at. And you will achieve that only though the power of your mind over matter.

>>7888603A permabeg, but in a literal sense and not in the meme way.Essentially someone who drew for hours literally everyday for fucking years and never improved. A prime example of someone who was better off giving up (which he did) instead of wasting his time in a hobby he clearly hated.

>>7888646perma/beg/ signs ALEARTT!!
>>7888646basedI got an artbook from FSS and it has a cool camo design I'll post a pic in the morning if I remember
>>7888631anon do you draw anyone other body type besides fridges?
>>7888647me? im nice as FUCK>>7888648thas wussup
>>7888639i'm sure no one cares but for reference this is another imagination drawing i made in sep-oct last year when i first started drawing daily using references, harder poses, m*les etci feel like the improvement is minimal since both drawings feel equal to me in terms of general qualityunsure how to proceed since books and videos don't click with me and feels like im in a plateu; is there anything specific i can be doing to further improve?
>>7888650Fridge isn’t what I’m going for so that is another area I need to work on it seems.
>>7888639>>7888660I think they're cute
What's the best way to learn how to start as a complete beginner? Like never drawn in my life beginner
I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm a pretty early beg and I am working on trying to shit out some finished pieces, but I don't know exactly how to really go about it. I don't know if I am supposed to polish my turd or move on, and sometimes I get lost in how I am supposed to go about correcting the errors in my drawing.Also, I have a question about studies/copies, what differentiates the two? For example, before I drew this I looked at a couple of images of black widows and attempted to deconstruct and copy them, which is what I read is the correct way to do a study, but I don't know exactly how I am supposed to "absorb" it fully. I'm also unsure if I should try to draw from imagination at this stage, or if that is a waste of time.
>>7888664make a 1:1 copy first then construct it using memory
>>7888631very nice, keeposting and don't listen shizos>>7888633>>7888642report my ass you subhuman, gtfo and never comeback
>>7888559That's not a woman either you freak
>>7888667we need more pedo supporters like you
>>7888668The penis adds flair. Spices things up a bit. Makes women more sexually appealing.
>>7888672freak
>>7888650>>7888661Dont listen to him that is nowhere near fridge. Your bodies are just too moe to be loli or hebe and it falls inbetween.If that is what you are aiming for fine!
>>7888673sexo
FUCK I WASTED WEEKS ON THISWhy is the left forearm so hard for me to drawI wanna move one but I should be able to do this
>>7888587This is actually a very useful exercise. It's the secret to learning how to "feel the form", or being able to intuitively interpret 2D shape as 3D form and vice versa. This basically is one of the core practices taught in Dynamic Sketching.You just have to keep in mind that anime faces don't strictly adhere to a rigid 3D topology, it's a much more fuzzy logic interpretation of 2D shape as 3D form. Also, this is more of a practice exercise, for actually drawing faces from imagination drawing such a dense wireframe is impractical.
>>7888631Draw BuruAca onegai!!!!
>>7888676>>7888667why defending pedophilia? ooohhh.... i know....because you people are apologetic pedophiles.
Haven't had much time but managed to squirrel away an hour and a half for some scribblin.>>7888678I'm jelly>>7888673I wish I could feel these forms. .>>7888664This is really cool anon.
>>7888683>I'm jellyThat's not mine, this is mineThis is page 206/328 and I could do the rest fine but I can't make this work at allKeep mind I erased a ton of even worse ones
>>7888587if you do this you might as well just do loomis>>7888673the hat brim on the left seems a bit wonky like it bends in the wrong direction and doesn't make the form as believable as it could be>>7888639>don't know how to below the neckreference more its ok having multiple references for the same drawing you make and grab what you need help with from each one
Hopefully finish this tomorrow. >>7888673cutto
>>7888678No way yall spend weeks on one drawing…
>>7888687SERAS
>>7888685Chen :DNow make her :D
I CANT FUCKING DRAW.
HI!
>>7888680I drew a picture of reisa last autumn I think, also seia like a year ago. Anyone in particular?
>>7888688I'll try drawing it, it looks like shit so I erase it and get demoralized I did spend a week drilling forearms and though I could do it but it didn't help What the fuck is up with THAT particular angle
>>7888681There's no such thing as drawing pedophilia, the characters are not real
>>7888694HiCute nekomimi
>>7888691
>>7888700
>>7888696Stop erasing it and try drawing it againThe forearms look good tho
Didn’t finish but I at least made progress >>7888701Lol?>>7888687Pretty good, but try to make the arms a tad longer if you’re going for these types of proportions. I like the facial expression. what’s she holding tho?>>7888694Nice stuff
>>7888695Arona!!!!
>>7888604jesus christ
>>7888604>>7888714his artworks are so fucking unsettling
>>7888714>>7888716All effort. No talent
>>7888714Pure, concentrated unappealium.
>>7888720>>7888721it actually made me CTRL+W because of how unsettled i was going thru his works, like goddamn manit didn't even look like he was having fun either, i feel like he hated every single line he'd put on, even with how thick the lines are in some casesalso i love the attempt at loomis but forgetting the steps to create the jaw, and just drawing the ball with the cross kekthat's why the faces are so malformed

>>7888604I wanna hate on his but this looks cool
>>7888612Pawell did improve though.>>7888604Looking at the most recent works I'd say he actually had potential. It immediately strikes me just how much better his drawings done in ballpoint are than his digital work, because for some reason when working in digital he always used these absolutely retard huge kludgy brushes that leave zero room for subtlety in mark making. To use larger brushes you have to forego fidelity and direct statement for simplification and implication. The ink brushes are especially egregious. Look in picrelated, the digital ink brush drawing almost looks like it was done years before the green ballpoint drawing, when in reality it was a few days after the ballpoint. Then there's the fact that he never seemed to actually get the point of construction, like for instance instead of using the concepts taught by Loomis in FWAP or other construction books and inventing things he just copied the drawings in them. As a matter of fact, up until the very end it seems that he just kind of rotely and mindlessly repeated this exercise of copying and then attempting a second copy by memory. If he had actually broken the construction threshold instead of pointlessly grinding the same copying exercises ad infinitum he likely would have seen some real profound improvement. Instead he ended up getting pretty okay at copying, then never did anything else, stagnated hard and eventually ended up quitting. He actually could have gone farther, a whole lot farther, but his mindset and approach prevented him from doing so.
>>7888733>because for some reason when working in digital he always used these absolutely retard huge kludgy brushes that leave zero room for subtlety in mark makinghe's 100% using mouse and smudge/eraser on some brush tips
>>7888722Such is life without talent.
>>7888726don't get too excited, the left page is just lazy copies from xiao weichun's book
>>7888736Oh nononono Pawell bros...
>>7888736fuckin kek
>>7888722How do you contruct a head properly?
>>7888740i follow loomis head method and it worked well
>>7888733his problem is that he never really bothered to fix any of his mistakes and learn, just going from one lazy shitty copy to the next, somehow expecting quantity to magically transform into quality. if you see that your copy is shit, why move to the next one? fix it and work on it, see what you tend to do wrong and be conscious of it in the future. try to copy it again but do it better this time. all this copy work is almost useless if he can't be bothered to actively learn from it
>>7888733>up until the very end it seems that he just kind of rotely and mindlessly repeated this exercise of copying and then attempting a second copy by memory>If he had actually broken the construction threshold instead of pointlessly grinding the same copying exercises ad infinitum he likely would have seen some real profound improvement.Everyone was saying that to him. He grinded a book after book after book. Everyone knew he was going to burn out. Everyone told him to just draw whatever he wants from imagination more and stop grinding art books.This is a cautionary tale for people who wait until they are "allowed" to draw. Pawell was the vaccine that made me immune to faggots who peddle that bullshit that you need to get good and only then you are graciously allowed to draw and everything else is just turd polishing.
do you people want me to create the new thread again?
>>7888766yes
>>7888767right, give me a few minutes to create the op image
>>7888769 >>7888766Not if I do it first, Muwahahaha. >>7888772
>>7888767NEW>>7888777>>7888777>>7888777>>7888773Why didn't you say so before?I was in the middle of creating it.
>>7888778>>7888773Yeah you're way too slow, engineer san.NEW>>7888772 >>7888772 >>7888772
