Sometimes the ugly ones reveal a lot of structure thatโ€™s otherwise more obscure. Look at that massive neanderthal forehead and those weird, high cheekbones. Her nose is also quite distinctive in its shape. As an artist you should be all over that stuff

You really softened her features lol. She looks much more overall appealing I guess, but rather generic.
Want me to post some other refs? I have a fair few saved of women with strong facial features.
>>8015318
Take your time anon. You may want to do a few value thumbnails and the like, to work quicker and get more practice in. Though it seems you're doing detailed rendering practice, right? Looks good. Think it'd be good if you also had the top of the shoulder. The black top games the face nicely.

Damn, makes me wanna try it. Androgynous people are extremely hard to keep androgynous and leaning towards their actual sex. Many of the paintings in this thread look like trannies or dudes, when the ref is clearly a female with a pronounced bone structure. I feel like if I attempt it I'll fuck it up, but it's worth giving a try

Yes, I think the challenge comes from the subject's unusually sharp featured combined with the extreme camera angle. But that's why I picked this particular image, it forces you to really consider facial structure.

On the other hand the color and values are interesting but not too complicated. The fluorescent lighting means that the surfaces facing away from the viewer are very desaturated, and by far the most saturated areas are the crevices. I recommend to anyone drawing a full color version to take note of the faint blue glint at the edges of the hair, which I think looks interesting.

Pic related is another good reference for if you want to practice color in hard mode. I found it to be much more complicated than it looks.

Nah. I made it up because the original is overexposed like someone on here stated, and i want to practice skin coloring

I'm not going for accuracy. A lot of model photography is overexposed because they want to hide imperfections.

Imperfections is key in artistic expression

Do people unironically believe that there's men who are intimidated by women? I thought this was just a thing women say to provoke and escalate a conflict.

continuing

I think some people struggle to understand faces, they think good facial structure and a strong jaw = masculine, and child like/neotenous = feminine. This is simply not true. Peoples personal sexual preferences no doubt also influence their perception of what is and isn't feminine. Guys who prefer submissive, childlike, unintimidating girls are usually the types to accuse women with a well developed facial structure of looking like a man. This usually comes from feelings of insecurity around women, the same kind of insecurity that leads some guys to pursue asian girls.

Well, they can fucking obliterate you emotionally, so yeah, they can be intimidating
Now, the fact that they use heterosexual men's natural subconscious vulnerability to them to basically rationalize everything as "intimidation" to further social/political goals, well that's something else

theres a long train of evidence of hypocrisy from 'conservatives' who are queer, pedophiles, and cheaters, and traffickers. its public info.

if youve never seen a man stutter in the face of a beautiful woman, you havent really left the house. happens all the time.

which is stupid because that just wastes your hooker money.

I draw her because drawing pretty girls is fun, and she's the absolute pinnacle of female beauty.

Tried to block in the shapes, but my proportions are off on the face.

I guess i need to do 1000 more.
>>
>>8044077
do 10,000 quick and good ones, is better than 1,000 super high effort but bad ones.
>>
>>8044145
That's good advice, thank you. Will put to practice.
>>
>>8044145
Why would someone make high effort bad ones? This doesn't make sense.
>>
>>8045026
people do, and often "polish turds" though
Sometimes you need to accept this drawing is done and then do another and another in quick sucession

Tough reference - I find drawing real women difficult :(
But this one was particularly tough!
>>
>>8045056
looks a little cross eyed and the mouth is protruding. Otherwise good effort, good line work.

I heavily disagree. Even if you try hard, you're still going to make " bad ones" , just at a more rapid rate. I do think generally mileage is key to getting to the "good art" faster , but there are diminishing returns after a while depending on what you practice. Generally most people's problems are drawing so doing a ton more sketching and inking is far more useful than grinding out paintings without a clear goal , but then after a while you'll be great at drawing and be useless when it comes to color , composition or rendering. I think learning art is nuanced and requires deliberate thoughts, goals and experimentation to properly learn the right balance of what to practice to develop your skills , just like anything else.
