thread challenge
just finished this bros, had a blast just slapping color on for the second time everhave a great weekend :-D
The wording kind of confused me here.
Butterfly>>7952205Honestly not bad, feels like it could be a gen 1 Yugioh card
Did you make it to the /beg/ or the /int/ side of the OP?
>>7952215Well there are /beg/ works in all corners so I wouldn’t take it too seriously
>>7952211>Honestly not bad, feels like it could be a gen 1 Yugioh carddamn thats a sweet compliment desuthank you anon, also sick drawing
>>7952215There's no side. I rushed through it as fast as I could, and made the canvas bigger at some point, so the later stuff is closer to the edge. That's about it>>7952205hell yeah brother :D
>>7952215OP shadowbanned me.

I stopped posting here and I'm having more fun and drawing more often. This place is a sap for enthusiasm and spirit.
>>7952243This is a trap. it gives the illusion of productivity.
>>7952243>I stopped posting here>posts
>>7952203
>>7952243But are you improving?
>>7952254My answer is yes
i wondered while drawing how much of a thought process and rationale can be extracted back from individual drawn lines
If you fucking niggers are going to continue to not include the art I don’t post in your fucking collages then I’m going to keep not posting art you assholes I hate you and I wish you were dead but not as much as Jews because I hate them the most then niggers and after that you unless you’re a Jew and/or nigger because then you get bumped into the appropriate category
>>7952243I’m the opposite. Posting here motivates me a lot, just the mere fact that I know I’m going to post something that will be seen by someone else motivates me to draw more in the first place and also do a good job on it.
>>7952197Left is from reference.I have tried to learn gesture lately. I still end up relying on schemes I guess. Arms keep to be a mystery.>>7952205In a way reminds me of a Yu-Gi-Oh card.>>7952231lol

Alright I think I'm done. I think I learned and cemented some stuff with this. Might be about time I start learning composition and started (attempting) actual artworks.

What do you think? Is it cute?
Friends and lovers of cute, I will need your feedback now while I am early in my career, especially if there are any mistakes that I don't want to accidentally turn into a habit.
>>7952339It's relatively cute, yes.
sketchin time baby>>7952278>>7952325About four people have told me it looks like a YGO card so it's a HUGE compliment because I'm a giga fan of the YGO monsters and its artworks.

>>7952381Nice drawing. His eyes look derpy as all hell though.
>>7952389yea i agree, was going to draw some looking down angles soon because i apparently suck at it
>>7952384It's when she's going against Zeruel and Shinji loses all control due to power outage. She awakens and eats Zeruel.
im 80% of the way done with the street fighter request, ill have it done today>>7952197completely unironically im the worst drawing in the op image LMAOit was never this over>>7952379cuuute, can you make them hug with the blood smeared all over his clothes>>7952381could take him more ways than one>>7952304cool char design and scene but the drawing isnt very good

>>7952410How do you pick the 4 tones for your drawing?I just realized that beyond your grotesque themes and taste your shades and shape language seems fairly well developed.For example, I really like the way you did the folds on her top with just 3 shades of pink.
Idk if i will finish this one, she just looks off>>7952400Nice, it reminds me of les fleurs du mal
>>7952416omg that is a cute shinobu
>>7952416it's weirdly symmetrical, i think that's the biggest problem, otherwise it's well drawn
>>7952417>>7952422Ty. That makes sense about the symmetry, I’ll try having one of the arms holding the donut and maybe moving one of the legs
>>7952402You'll be disappointed when you see the level of polish they're at

I attempted to render latex according to this tutorial. It looks kinda sloppy. Maybe I'll try to whip up a ball in Blender to get a good reference.https://x.com/tiastias9/status/2018356395662598551
>>7952416Very well. I'll steal your idea and draw it myself then. This time with a better bike too.
>>7952382What's her name? She's very erotic. Perhaps I should draw her naked again...
>>7952426Ominous as hell. Thanks for the scare.
I feel like I'm just stuck with my art and I don't know where to go. I've been drawing for a year and I don't want to give up.
>>7952458It will pass.
>>7952458Try drawing poses without paying attention to proportions or details, just try to make drawings that look like good poses as an exercise
>>7952458You were certified ngmi when you first posted here a year ago.
>>7952450Looks like you grabbed that off of an inflation vore furry latex deviantart account
>>7952455Maybe I’ll keep trying then >_<
How do you actually render?
i never opened my artbooks because looking at the pdfs is just easier lol
>>7952467Blend, you idiot.
>>7952469How do you actually blend?
>>7952472There are several ways. This isn't all of them but... Some people use blending tools, others do it manually.
>>7952396>>7952410thanks>>7952456you can name her and feel free...
>>7950081her shoulder is still messed up but it can’t be helped
>>7952412Thank you! No prob! I just use the opacity, I chose a basic line color and set the opacity at 20% for the clearest tone. And then stack another 20% layer to get a darker tone, and another 20% layer to get another one. So With 4 tones I can do what I need. Basically, I just use those 4 tones to do the bucket fill, That would be for starters, 2 layers of the line work duplicated. One is the line layer on top, and the bucket filled one at the bottom. Then I add a couple of 20% opacity layers to do a shadow layer (using the line basic color of course) and a lighting layer using just a flat white for things like the shiny hair.It's an extremely minimal setup to do stuff really quick. The fun part is doing something weird with the pose or the figure's shape. After that I just want to move on, and do other weird shit lol. So I just want to slap some mid tones and leave it at that.Sorry, now that I think about it I should have drawn something normal for you. I just draw shit without thinking.
I liked the last one I did better
>>7952197it seems that i have a problem grasping proportions of the head especially where jaw connects to the skull so head mostly turns to look like alieni just started by the waypic somehow related? i'm doddling right now

>>7952282this ref has a really good silhouette>>7952568you already drew your measurements on top of the reference, why don't you copy paste those guidelines onto a new layer and use them as a backdrop for your copy study. That way you won't get lost so easily in your proportions.
>>7952568don't follow god awful tutorials by someone that promotes AI
>>7952568You should go through fun with a pencil by andrew loomis
Apparently there is a correct way of using rulers. I was struggling because sometimes the pen nib does not touch where the ruler edge touches, so I have to do weird compensation by putting the ruler farther than where the line should go. Turns out, I just need to rotate everything so the pen is always leaning away from the ruler, so the nib can touch more precisely on the edge.
I am finding hair difficult to draw and render. Any tips?
>>7952580That book sucks and is boring. Pyw crab
is 1500 x 1500 at 300 dpi too small/low quality for a canvas or does it not matter?also please critique is appreciated, tried doing a fully painting esque type coloring job with this
DPI is for printing physically. Canvas size on the other hand are the dimensions of the digital canvas, for example 500x500. If you plan to print physically, ideally you would paint on the largest canvas size you can, say 4000x4000 or something. Because you never know how big you might want the physical print to be later. You can always make it smaller later if you need to, but not bigger without obvious upscaling artifacts or blurring if you decide not to use upscale algorithms. So, high dpi if you plan to print physically, and also high canvas size if you can help it. Otherwise dpi doesn't matter.
>>7952628>high dpi*Low. The bigger the print you want, the lower the dpi should be.
>>7952629That's only if you're going to be standing far away from the print. If people are going to be looking up close, higher dpi is better. 300 is standard for most cases I think.
>>7952624I usually work at something like 30% more than what the intended dimensions will be, it still looks like shit because I'm not exactly a good artist but it's a lot easier to work with
>>7952511I don’t know if anyone has told you this before but yoUr art sucks.
>>7952663Stop it's not truuuu
Somehow I made it into the OP 5 separate times.Is there a guide on how to draw in more extreme angles? Lately all of my stuff has begun to look samey.

D:
>>7952702are you ok anon
>>7952702omg that is a cute horror beyond my comprehension
>>7952624I like this painting. Sorry I can't offer a critique though because I don't know about paintings. Also I wouldn't hang it up in my house because it would scare me at night.

>>7952819true, my bad I meant lilith, that nigga nailed to the cross. Its been a long while since I've seen it.
My lines are dogshit, holy shit. Perspective Made Easy has so many simple drawings that look so beautiful, though, it actually makes it look easy. Shit is hard.
>>7952812and who tf are you?
>>7952624Several artists work at 3 times that resolution, even 7-10 times (they release a scaled down version).Dpi doesn't matter.>>7952628>>7952629>>7952630You can set any dpi you want afterwards, you just need to disable the resampling, which is enabled by default for most programs.Dpi simply tells how many pixels are printed in a centimeter. 254 dpi means that 100px are 1cm.>What is the resampling purposeIt's meant to keep the same image dimensions on paper, whenever you make an edit to the dpi.
>>7952826No idea why 4chan flipped my image.
How can I learn to draw without talent? I've been trying to learn for over 20 years.
>>7952394>can you make them hug with the blood smeared all over his clotheshere u go anon
>>7952840Your guidelines don't make sense.
todays study. critiques on shading would be most appreciated, especially critiques on technique since idrk what im doing. im trying to build planes but its hard to get the shapes right with smear and blend tools.
>>7952840>I've been trying to learn for over 20 years.God I hope this is true
Studyhttps://exhentai.org/s/352fb55996/3699319-45
>>7952857you're definitely improving, shame about the pedo stuff
>>7952840A good tip is that if you don't make progression in 20 years, you are likely learning "incorrectly". Everyone's brain works differently to make the same connection, so there are other ways to do it that you should try. This is another reason a lot of artists have a shorter time period that they said they started drawing, since they mostly have been drawing since childhood but only started "seriously" within recent years. Because they're taking their studies seriously then. I would recommend loomis's method like what you have on the bottom right as a starter point!Additionally, make sure you are drawing for the sake of drawing.>Just draw.This tidbit of advice comes from the angle of familiarizing yourself with your drawing utensils and the things you struggle with. >No matter how much I draw, I can't draw [insert thing] right.This means you should be grinding that specific thing until you know every aspect of it.I'm no expert but maybe this'll help!
>>7952846Try focusing on the shapes of the negative space of the reference as well. A lot of your study here is kind of made up without looking at what you're referencing
>>7952867Honest question, why is it bad to not 1:1 copy the reference?
>>7952868I wouldn't say bad per se, but when you're at a beginner level, you don't exactly want to cheat yourself out of most of the ways to train your eye, yeah? If you can't copy 1:1 by eyeballing it, what else are you actually missing when doing other things? If anything it's to train your eye, I'd argue. You'll start to get why certain artists have certain attentions to detail when your eye isn't making stuff up.Like how some artists are really good at drawing breasts, or feet, or pussy, or anus, etc. They're noticing things that beginners struggle with and are incorporating them into their art.tl;drIf you are already kind of clueless at drawing, why sell yourself short with shortcuts if you want to make it?
>>7952857Can I use this for my family Christmas card?
>>7952865I've been drawing "seriously" for 6 years.>I would recommend loomis's methodIt doesn't work. I read "fun with a pencil" three times and copied all the heads.>Just draw>grinding600 hours. How much more? https://youtu.be/TbY-_Qi7L3g
>>7952877>maybe if I draw another thousand boxes and circles, I'll become good
>>7952877You might just be retarded like me. This took me an hour to do, and I'm like 2 years in making a concerted effort to focus on what I'm bad at and practice the hard stuff...I think I spent 30 mins fucking about with proportions to get it 8 heads tall and the hips still look fucked...
do you guys allow NSFW?
>>7952458>>7952865>>7952877permabeg gore is so kino
Why is this board so low iq?
>>7952877Have you tried drawing strictly what you like? I have to ask this because it's mostly what I do and it is also what was recommended to me by a friend. I feel like drawing whatever topic you enjoy makes the learning experience much more tolerable (although not painless). I'd also say try to draw for at least 2 hours a day if your job allows, and don't force yourself to draw 100% from imagination. Use references for whatever you aren't sure about.Everyone learns differently so the most I can tell you is what's working for me.

I know is fun to always render, even when we are not that good at it (even though if I do the eye squinting thing on your render it actually works quite well), but I still think that rendering is a beg trap that should be avoided if possible. You should draw again this figure 10 times, to reach a finesse in the shapes of it, specially the face. You are almost there,

>>7952877Oh it's you! I remember you posting this stuff. Your lines are very clean. >It doesn't work. I read "fun with a pencil" three times and copied all the heads.Don't copy the heads, read what the guy says about the heads.>600 hours. How much more? Are you only drawing boxes and copying things? What about drawing a dog from reference? What about drawing a stick figure in a detailed background of boxes? What about putting the boxes in a specific location and setup that resembles a photo of a room? Just turn all the furniture into boxes.I understand you're frustrated as fuck but your grinding didn't go to waste. If you're good at boxes, all you need to learn now is how to apply them. Try copying this guy's stuff.https://www.instagram.com/startwithabox/

By drawing beautiful things if I am able to reach that goal then it's like I'm participating in beauty too. You have to draw what you like the most, even if it is just porn.
>>7953047What do you mean, anon? That IS his work
>>7952840Well, it's time to start reviewing what you're currently doing and make some changes. First of all, I would recommend copying from the Slayers manga. It's easier to focus on the important landmarks and relevant features that way.Second, just copy a frontal view of the face. I think you're doing a good job with the width of the face, but this will allow you to focus more on symmetry and facial features.Third, draw bigger and use the round brush at the smallest size possible. That way, you can build up thicker lines through multiple passes. I think this will make it easier for you to achieve a crisper and clearer result.I see many good things in your work, but I think you need some guidance. consider joining a drawing or painting class.>>7952994love the skirt roll really good job dude
>>7953047Yesterday's gesture practice/sketches. I wanted to draw from 2pm to 2am but it's literally impossible with the current climate (38-42C) so i was only able to draw for like 4 hours. We will never recover from the damage done by the jews and white peepo t.32C at 9pm btw.
roast my "art" and destroy any confidence I have to continue pls
>>7953048but i have some serious problems with porn, when i draw it or animate it in 3d i just get to a point where i masturbate and drop it forever, i never end anything because of my stupid monkey brain, and when i want to draw something else i just dont know what do and i just brainlessly do studies like portrait paintings, values and drawing cubes in perspective, a year passed after i started drawing and i still dont know what to do, worst thing about all of this is that i always get to a point where i dont want to draw anymore and stop for months until i finally want to draw again for some weeks.
>>7953037My strong desire to fuck niche characters in tasteful ways that didn't rely on distorted porn that was horribly off-model. >>7953054>i just get to a point where i masturbate and drop it foreverholy kek
>>7953052so youre a 3rd worlder who cant afford ac, interesting, i though you would be some loser 1st worlder instead
>>7953052So cute love the girl second from left and her expression.
>>7953056I have a AC and it makes the wacom 24 screen sweat like crazy . Sorry poorfag but these are problems that you will never be able to understand in your entire life.
>>7953059have fun with your backpain screencuck
>>7953037I want to make pretty things
i have finally started to follow just one of my big dreams and really learn how to draw. so i am just gonna prove you can jump into the deep end and still have fun, like i did with some other fun stuff!
looking forward to getting to know the /beg/ people too!
>>7953037I want to make a visual novel and while I can write well, that's only half the battle
>>7952989lolll good stuff anon
>>7953070>>7953069No clue what your deal is fella, but I am loving the energy. Here's to hoping you're one of the ones that make it.
>>7952872Do it>>7952919Thanks
>>7952857shota sexo
>>7953057Thanks, it almost makes me want to finish it
>>7952895Why did you draw the torso realistically passable form wise but then distorted the pelvis and ass in such a disgusting manner? It literally makes no sense both gestureally or 3 dimensionally so I was curious why you do this
>>7953037my reason was simple. i wanted to draw braphog anime waifus and will continue to practice until i can do that.
>>7953038I don't really know per se why I started drawing and am continuing to draw. It more started out of boredom and experimentation.I simply wish to draw things that can make a younger and current self stop and say " Ahhhh... now this is beautiful. " I think uncover such beauty for oneself requires to be able to fundamentally understand and grasp truth, so ergo I must study the basics of the world express said truth. Right now I'm still having trouble speaking , but I'm getting there...
>>7953098You did not mean to reply to me.
>>7953089Pyw
>>7953089This but futa
>>7953098 I must study the basics of the world to express said truth*Sorry, I meant to reply to this anon. Have a nice day. >>7953037
Trying to spoof the "falling Gamagori" scene from Kill la Kill except with a woman. It's a bit tough to reference his pose due to how broad chested and shouldered he is. Does this look okay or can someone help me fix up the proportions even more?
first time here, is "how to draw comics the marvel way" being a >best art booksfor real or a meme? Always assumed it was one of those kids books like a western "how to draw manga" slop.
>>7953126it's fine, it teaches construction and basic perspective to draw fun characters and scenesbut any book will do as long as you draw
>>7952994I love you Frenchie
>>7953087>but then distorted the pelvis and ass in such a disgusting manner? I was curious why you do thisI don't know, I guess that I just want to subvert my own expectations, spin the weird roulette and see what comes up. I genuinely feel like if I do a "faithful reproduction" of something that exists in the real world, it is a wasted opportunity of creating something weird and new, or unseen. And provoke some fun and interesting reaction hopefully. I don't want to waste time repeating a new reproduction of something that already exists, and that has been being generated a trillion times over through out history.I don't have that weight of an ego forcing me to avoid mocking myself at all costs, or the mockery of others, I could die tomorrow and who the fuck cares if I had fun playing with the creation play-doe outside of the "acceptable agreed parameters". I want to push through the invisible wall of this virtual game and see what's in the quantum realm of form and imagination. I want to twist these gesture lines, and shapes and forms and see how they look all fucked up, I want to make those figs cry and scream and beg for mercy... and then twist them some more and see how they look... hee-hee... Do you have a request?I tried to keep it normal with that scribble on picrel, but is hard. I naturally want to make her look weird and unreal. Sorry
Recommendations on courses, paid or free or whatever, for learning the actual act of digital painting?I feel like my brushwork sucks, I'm very unsure about the workflow I should be doing, etc.

Haven’t drawn in almost 5 years after a hand injury but new graveyard job made me pick up the pen. I like big wolf girls with muzzles so here’s anon in a shrinking room with one I’m gonna start bringing pencils with me to work and hope my boss doesn’t make fun of me on the cameras
>>7952826I’m ngl I really love this drawing
Felt like drawing some rats
>>7953189Nice rats
>>7953193Thanks anon!
That girl from that manga but it started looking like a temu seto yuuki drawing so i stopped. No ahoge. please critique the anatomy o algo
>>7952720No.>>7952723:)>>7952813>Reminiscent of early AI images, I like it.I don't use ai but I get that often. :(.https://youtu.be/XQkVvOYWX70?si=i0PhsIx83GibE-qgI keep fucking up hard whilst rendering and I never know how to fix it. Sometimes, it feels like it's a hit or miss with me, in the sense that it's either dogshit or somewhat decent. No in-betweens.
>>7953037to see if i could. to not be a howie but a dewey.
>>7953037I’m not sure why anyone would get into this shit in the first place without a reason. Either because it’s intrinsically fun or because they have a purpose. This shit is pretty tortuous so people who don’t have a reason will drop out fast.
Really struggling with lighting here.. I think the light source isn't very clear please keep in mind that I have some limitations-Mouse only (no pressure sensitivity)-Everything is mostly on one layer except for the color dodge layer at the very top to mask my bad shadingI mostly don't know how where to start with left's hair, face, and boobs (Her reference is in picrel) I'm using this picture of Alex Consani and Anok Yai as a general referencehttps://www.fashiongonerogue.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Alex-Consani-Anok-Yai-REVOLVE-Campaign12.jpg
>>7952410bless you peril <3 lovely drawing >3>>7952511interesting :D>>7952458i remember youwhich means i have been posting here for a whole ass year
bonus monke
These practices (from the "dynamic bible" book) with blobs and contours to give it 3D mass are very fun to do.
I really fucking love how almost all drawing books are like this 'draw a sphere and add eyes and now just do the fucking rest' sure I can barely rotate a box in perspective but let me just jump right into combining shapes and making organic forms rotate in perspective with expressions on top this reason so many teachers suck at teaching is because they've long forgotten what it's like to be a beginner. what's simple to them is not simple to the student
>>7953314Funniest post ITT so far
>>7953314first 6 months of drawing is just doing copies.
>>7953323:D
>>7953323Deeply cursed
This took me 3 hours to do start to finish. Is that ok time or do I need to hurry the fuck up?>>7953314Those fucking how to draw anime books were the orginal andrew tate course grift, capitilising on a growing youth that wanted to draw Naruto and Future diary.

tips for drawing portraits where the hand is interacting with the face or doing something in frame? How do I know what angle its supposed to be at
>>7953343make your own refs for that stuffbut having a single hand tends to create unbalanced compositions, I try to include both or have another element to balance it out
God damn these take me way too long>>7953339As a fellow slow-as-molasses drawer: set aside time to do quick sketches with time limits (say 5-10 minutes for a full head or body, if you can't even do 10 minutes then just force yourself until you can do it). Grind the quick sketches until you can do reasonable studies within the time limit. But when doing your original pieces just do whatever's comfortable and only move on if you're spending an inordinate amount of time on one drawing.
>>7953355very nice, good job
