feel like i havent improved at all during this year, and after a talk with my friend they said that i tend to revert to how i used to draw before.any recomendations of what to practice? where am i going wrong? and how to avoid the comfort zone pitfall? if you guys need more drawings to see my process ill happily provide them
>>7961204Analyze every drawing after you finish it, identify mistakes, correct them. Eventually it's going to sink in and you won't repeat those same mistakes anymore
>>7961204Post some of your older work compared to more recent work.
>>7961239truth is that i fizzle out as soon as i begin the constructionsometimes it works out like with op but other times it looks terrible like picrel
>>7961258older as in how old?
>>7961259Ok well there’s your problem. Stop “fizzling out”, the goal is to do whatever it takes to produce correct drawings. Step 1 is setting your standards higher.If something looks wrong then figure out why and fix it. This doesn’t mean spending forever on one drawing; if it’s not working out then drop it and start another drawing. But generally you need to shift your mindset away from “eh whatever happens happens I guess” to “I am going to analyze why this drawing is not working and fix it”.
>>7961262it's the difference between apathy and intention, i suppose
>>7961262the part where i fizzle out the most would be the section between ribcage and the waist, sometimes i dont know how long or short it should be.
>>7961276your issue is studies and mileage. you need to study more. you need to draw more. get cracking
>>7961286any recommendations or tips?
>>7961288i can't do that for you. you need to seek out material yourself you want to study. go watch a movie or anime or something, stop on frames that look cool and are worth attempting to replicate. read manga and redraw panels that look challenging and/or interesting. youre master of your destiny here
>>7961276Yeah honestly I struggle with that too sometimes.Technically there's no distance between the ribcage and the waist because they're right next to each other. What you're really asking is how far the pelvis should be from the ribcage and how long the torso should be in general.Start with what you know and work from there. Decide whether the body is 6 heads tall, 8 heads tall, whatever. Then you know that the crotch is the midpoint, same length above it as below it. There's a handy proportion chart in the Loomis figure drawing book.Once you have a proportion map for the character you're drawing then front on angles will be pretty easy and it's just a question of how things look in perspective from different angles. Mostly you'll need to build up intuition for that by doing studies of the poses/angles you want to draw.
>>7961294huh... guess i cant keep postponing it, ill have to learn how to properly measure in heads
>posts pornslop>y cant get better :((tard
>>7961204maybe draw real art LUL
