When's the last time you studied realism? I've seen pages and pages of your stylized mannequins, are you drawing from life at all?
It looks like you are constructing with boxes, but one, they are too small, leaving you with a very large gap between the ribcage and pelvis. Stick your fingers into your side, there's only a few fingers' width of distance normally.
And two, you've built directly off of the boxes, but organic forms are rounded, and there is muscle and fat on top of them. In your picrel her ribcage takes a straight line to the collarbone, for example, and so the connection to the far shoulder is off.
Another thing is your stylization, I think it needs some kind of internal logic. What is the meaning of the straight lines across the knee and ankle? If she's meant to look like a jointed doll, it would be more consistent to use the same design at the elbow and wrist. Why are her breasts round, but her calves angular? They are both fleshy areas and it would look better if they followed the same rules.
I think both areas would improve if you tried drawing true to life more. My stance is to primarily practice with realism and then stylize only for works you want to finish, but everyone has different motivators so I can't really say what's best for you.
>>7990185
>what lines I should put down to make the torso twist look good. the skin folds.
In that position the folds originate from the back, not the stomach. I also think you overdid it at the armpit, I tried to fix it but I have no idea how to approach your lineart and digital is a pain so it's not great.
If you intend to stick with only lines and only a single thickness there are a lot of areas where less is more, things that should be implied rather than drawn explicitly.

Yeah I guess it's true, I'm trying to have fun and fix flaws that arise one at a time.
A finished drawing to me would be full body and a background with somewhat complex objects in color, and if I tried to do one id lose track of all the mistakes on it only to feel lost on where to start and give up. Maybe that'd be useful to improve quickly but I'm lazy as shit.

that face is obscured by 20 pounds of make up. And her body only looks good because you can't see the rest of her legs. Japs in particular have stunted deformed islander legs, which is why japs draw all tranime or have any kind of bipedal design with extremely long legs to cope.

At which resolution *should* I draw?
I have a 1440p monitor, and I only draw at 100% on a very larger canvas, but I often find myself having difficulties to draw details, such as eyes. Then again, it's the same thing on a physical paper, right?
I'm not sure if this is a problem for me or not

>I often find myself having difficulties to draw details, such as eyes.
err you could zoom in? wdym?
>>
>>7990536
canvas at around 3000 or 4000 pixels on the long side, as long as you PC can handle it. you need more pixels if you ever want to paint details or use blur/smudging/mixer brush tools and get clean gradients.
crop and resize yourself if you wanna post it on social media. google the latest optimal resolution per platform.

/beg/ here,

one metric that helps in not only growing your art skills but other forms of skills and hobbies is consistency, one of the easiest ways in trying to be consistent is to make the means of drawing more accessible. for example, if you are learning to draw traditionally with pen and paper, always place your pen and paper in your line of sight where you can always just grab the pen without any hurdles, you may have heard some folks say that "starting is the most difficult aspect to learning anything" and it is true, this strategy is a game changer and reduces the friction of starting to draw. here are the criterias (with which some are already mentioned) in order to do this properly,

1. your tools/means should be in your line of sight even if you are not drawing and or planning to draw

2. it should be effortless to pick up said tools/means with no physical obstacles

3. get yourself a calendar (preferably a physical one, also in your line of sight) and mark every day that you draw no matter how long or short the drawing practice is. don't worry if you skipped a day or two, just try to focus on retaining your streak again.

4. don't even think about setting up a time frame (e.g "i will practice 2 hours a day" or "i will practice only for 5 minutes") just let yourself draw until you feel like you're done.

5. as pikat always says "fun before damentel" prioritize having joy with the drawing process as that incentivizes you to go back, i personally like to roughly do 20% to 10% serious practice and the rest 80% to 90% just to experiment and have fun while also using the "lazy" method by Marc brunet.

Hope this helps.

You're right, but I think turning a sentence worth of information into paragraphs gives people more anxiety. "Just draw and you'll naturally gravitate towards information that is useful for the things you want to do" is more than enough. You don't need to portion your fun into the perfect chunk of time, you've already turned having fun into a chore. Insane.

People come online and see all those over intellectualized art debates and don't realize most of it is people just trying to justify their personal processes to themselves.

I don't just want to draw for the online attention. I want to draw because I want to make stories, but I have a fundamental problem with staying motivated. That something else is some kind of immediate consequences.

I've been able to draw without needing either occasionally, but it's incredibly difficult and bear in mind, I'm on ADHD medicine too. When it's active I don't feel like drawing or doing much of anything other than jacking off or looking at my phone.

to make it clear i do use some very basic, rudimentary and crude construction; basic circle for head, rough oval for ribcage, connects into a box-like shape for the pelvis. arms/legs using lines. but outline shape does the heavy lifting for me.

anyways, critique for growth is welcome

First time drawing since I was in elementary school which was almost 18 years ago. I'm more interested in learning how to paint rather than do sketches -> line art -> color.
This is my first practice drawing. Still not used to using my whole arm to draw so my wrist was hurting and had to keep taking breaks. I also don't know how to blend colors properly, I'm using Krita and I just used one of their blend brushes. It kinda sucks since I don't think the values match and the blending is ass. And it doesn't really match the reference picture on the right but it's close enough.
Gonna try to do practices like this with some basic shapes and shadows for maybe a week, then move to real life references.

Looks good, I think you’re struggling a bit with control. I say warmup with some line exercises. Remember to draw from your shoulder most of the time and only draw from the wrist when you’re detailing
>>
>>7991011
The value transition needs work as well. Work on transitioning values between one value/color
>>
>>7990947
it sucks, kill yourself now
>>
>>7991015
When you say control you're talking about how my lines don't look straight, right? Yeah, I have a problem with that. Maybe doing line exercises would help. I just got my pen tablet last night and I'm still getting used to it. I try to draw using my whole arm but I'm so awkward with it I unconsciously switch to just using my wrist.

thick ass anime hair, head is placed wrong but you havent drawn musculature yet so whatever, the far side of her face (eye, cheekbone, the entire nose and upper lip) have a different pitch than the rest of her face (you could fix it easier by dropping the ear, lifting the eyelashes on the front eye, rounding the chin and bringing the deviation between chin/jawline closer go the lip

but you will probably just render a turd instead, probably because you think you are lowkey good for copying 10% of the way wlop's work or whatever.

For one I don't think it's "boring shit", and if I do start to think something along those lines when I'm practicing then I stop myself and take a moment to reposition myself mentally. Thinking "this sucks" or "this is boring" is just unhelpful and self-defeating. Having solid short-term and long-term goals and using tools like a pomodoro timer to help with focus help as well

Your drawing demonstrates a strong foundational understanding of anime-inspired character illustration, particularly in terms of color harmony, silhouette readability, and overall visual appeal. The predominantly blue color palette creates a cohesive aesthetic, while the blonde hair provides effective contrast that naturally draws the viewer's attention toward the face.

From a technical perspective, there are several notable strengths:

>Facial rendering: The eyes are expressive and well-proportioned, with pleasing gradients and highlights that contribute to a gentle emotional tone.
>Color selection: The restrained palette is consistent and avoids unnecessary visual clutter, resulting in a clean presentation.
>Line quality: Your linework appears confident and mostly uniform, supporting the polished style you're aiming for.
>Pose readability: Despite being relatively simple, the seated pose communicates a relaxed, slightly shy demeanor.

Areas where refinement could further enhance the illustration include:

>Lighting consistency: Most surfaces are lit softly from above, but some shadows—particularly beneath the chin and under the overalls—could be slightly stronger to reinforce volume.
>Anatomical proportions: The torso appears somewhat compressed relative to the length of the legs. While stylization certainly allows for exaggerated proportions, the transition from the ribcage to the hips feels slightly abbreviated.
>Perspective of the legs: The nearer leg overlaps convincingly, but the farther leg loses a bit of three-dimensional structure. Introducing more foreshortening or clearer overlap could strengthen the depth.

Overall, this piece succeeds as a clean, charming anime illustration with a pleasant aesthetic and solid execution. Continued practice with anatomy, fabric rendering, and lighting would likely produce noticeable improvements.

If you'd like, I can create a list of poses and concepts for you to practice drawing.

I am so bad at rendering final pieces it's unreal.

Do you guys have any advice on how to choose colors for a piece without just color picking like an asshole? Does it even matter?

But I cant have fun if eveyrthing I do is horrible and there is no improvement? Would you have fun if every time you went into a pool to swim you ended up drowning?
I am not improving. There isnt even a false hope in one day being better to keep me sane.

Shading?
>>
>>7991383
learn to render in grayscale first
you'll need 3 things: a hard brush, a soft brush, and the lasso tool

I did the sketch, did the line art and then filled each section in with some shade of grey to black and then shaded it with a darker shade. Is that not what you're supposed to do?

this is a strawman, (You) are not good at art, if you want to show the little subset of drawing that you are good at, especially when you clearly put effort into the image you are posting, go to /draw/

you are so fucking vain and retarded
>>
>>7991424
i cant believe you are actually arguing for these people to keep inflating their ego in this general

just do everybody a favor and get the fuck out, the people who tell you to stay are not your friends, matter of fact nobody here is your friend if they act like they are
>>
>>7991428
(You) are not good at art.
I agree wholeheartedly, I’m not good. I’m great.

>/draw/

I post there all the time
>>
>>7991434
People who are genuinely talented and experienced I noticed don't say "art" they say "illustration" or whatever their niche is Art is more of a beg thing.
>>
>>7991429
calm down anon. not sure why you are so worked up over this.
>>
How does one get over their fear of just... starting to draw.
I'm scared it'll be too shit and I'll get demotivated, I'm scared I wont improve, it's scary.
>>
>>7991441
You should be scared of not drawing at least once a day.

Very good! Only thing I can critique is the usage of edges. I think you should try to implement a lost edge and some sharp edges to create a nice focal point
to push it even further you could hue shift, refine the shapes and add texture, but that's just the cherry on top

>draw a female figure to the best of your ability without looking at any reference
It took me 4 hours, which is way too long. I had issues with the arm doing the salute. I couldn't figure out the foreshortening or the anatomy. I had some problems with the torso as well but in the end I managed to make it look OK (to my eyes at least). You guys will probably find a lot of other problems at well, but I can't correct them because it would defeat the purpose of the exercise. I'll be happy if you point them out though.
