Fuck your faggot cliques I hope you niggers die.
>>8026539See?
i gotta say the op is underwhelming, yall didnt cook in the last thread.
>>8026546What did you draw?
>>8026548that lamia is sex tho
>>8026548The quality of the art is irrelevant. All that matters is who you’re friends wiht in the discord.
>>8026551I do not have discord installed, but sometimes I get into the OP.
>>8026552glowie psyop, noone makes it into op without being in the discord

>>8026563Kind of confusing that you blurred the guy to make him a part of the background but he's also got a light source behind him, clearly outlining him and commanding attention Otherwise this is really good
Where do i even begin? What should be the learning process/curve/steps?Please bear with me. I'm a retard near-npc who only learns when forced to learn or being in a class.Does anyone have any video courses that they'd recommend? Preferably ones available in the course generalIf not, any good books that hold can hold a retard's hand through the process?I've been drawing for a few months now but in short sessions and most of it is doodling. I'd really love to change that but anytime i want to do a structured learning session or plan i get really confused as to where to start and just go back to drawing random things i findHelp a retard out. Please.
>>8026577>I've been drawingevidence?

This is the best thing I've done in a little while imo. I see some of the mistakes I made and my fundies are still not anywhere near perfect.
>>8026585continue to do what you are doing, but 50 times more often. Report back another 3 months later
>>8026585What are you crying about, these are fine. You can do Proko's basic course, can be found on OCC for nada
>>8026588good energy, horrible drawing
>>8026588looks very bad, son. sorryif you're really studying the fundies, you're not applying them to your drawings

Should I continue training observation like pic related as often as I can if my main goal is to draw 90s and 2000s anime inspired stylized art?
>>8026588Cool drawing. Don't listen to the faggots. I think you could stand to simplify the detail down for now. Theres an inherent 'ugliness' to hyperdetail on a cartoon. I think that's cool sometimes but it might not be what you're going for
>>8026606You should continue training observation as often as you can on 90s and 2000s anime inspired stylized art
help me with this please, i want to finish itbut how am i supposed to do a low camera pose
>>8026607Thanks! I have a bad habit of going way too heavy on the detail. I think I'm stuck between wanting to make something really crazy and detailed and not wanting to take the time to do it so it ends up cartoony with a few overly detailed spots.I will stick to a style next time.
I can't even *think* of drawing anymore without getting annoyed, what's wrong with me?
>>8026606pick better references
>>8026645I can't think of not drawing images that I find and like.
>>8026540does she even remotely look like 2B?>>8026562>the gun looks too smallfor you

How do into digital art, I vastly prefer using pencils and that hasn't changed no matter how much I try digital. But pencil isn't the ideal medium for what I want to do (a comic). Are there any good guides on how to make the most of drawing digitally?
>>8026614i just want to know how to make the pose work by seeing the boxes
>>8026606>my main goal is to draw 90s and 2000s anime inspired stylized art>doing whatever the fuck this is insteadmedian iq here must be 90 or something
>>8026685given how you're replying to a gabe post, you must be lowering that median by a fair bit

>>8026689Is this really him? Like, it sounds similar, but I was thinking he was long dead

>>8026582do you have the rear view?
im having some trouble, and request help.i cant figure out how to simply the hip.
Boxes are actually so fucking hard holy shit. I didn’t know it was actually this hard.I’m doing https://daromeon.itch.io/cube and also pulling up random cubes in CSP and tracing one plane and then hiding the rest of the cube and trying to recreate it, basically the same thing as the browser game but I give myself more time. I’m so inaccurate with these things it’s insane. But it also gives me a quantifiable goal to work towards.
>>8026766the easiest way to simplify something is always gonne be the outline
>>8026780you cant rotate outline
>>8026766cubes are hard for me, i just memorize the outline like >>8026780 saidmaybe if you're a mech anon like >>8026673 then cubes would be the way to go, but for me it's unintuitive

Just turned 23, realized that while I’m young, my clock is ticking. What’s the best way to stay on track and focused with art?
>>8026858>>8026873fyi anger begets angeranger is the most useless emotion you can feel, it's only utility is for ripping someone apart with your bare hands, when you're sitting in front of the computer typing this shit you're literally being raped by yourself, and you're training yourself to respond with angerwith each post you're making yourself progressively worse at drawing
>>8026903Just draw
>>8026903if you have to ask you don't have what it takes.This hobby is merciless.
>>8026907BUT I CAMNT FUCKIINNG GET 3D
>>8026913yep, keep malding, if you wont help yourself i might as well watch your brain rot in real time as a case study
>>8026903Art is for life, kid, you will always be young enough and as long as you keep drawing it will always be enough.If you want something to keep yourself focused try to have a long term project you want to have enough skill to accomplish. Game, comic, or illustrated book, I don't know. This should give you a thing to works towards instead of aimless just trying to improve without a clear goal and give you focus.Here, I redlined it for you.
>>8026915BUT I CANT. I FUCKING CANT.ALL MY SHIT IS FUCKING FLAT.
>>8026886This one didn’t turn out so good
>>8026920thats exactly because you behave like this, anger makes it impossible to think, so have fun never learning anything ever :)
buying a new portable tablet will make me draw more, surely.
>>8026582
>>8026925..blog pls
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
kind of wild that even the lower tier begs on this thread have more skill and talent than narcissistic assholes on twitter
>>8026919Thanks, anon. That drawing is really great. And I do have aspirations in doing some self-published online comic work. That’s how my brain translates my ideas at least. I also have a friend that specifically encourages me to go along with that since he says that’s where it seems my passions lie.

Damn i screwed up his design so bad its not even funnyI think ill just draw something else
>>8026907Anger is a necessary emotion, because it forces you to seek solutions. It's a powerful motivational force.
Quick bobs
>>8026976i wish i had a body like this
>>8026981What kinda of body do you have?
>>8026989>>8026940
>>8026965Nope, it doesn't. Redefining anger into something else just makes it completely unhelpful to deal with emotional regulation. And you watched too much anime
>>8026544tricky ref
How to stop symbol drawing faces? I want my faces to look 3d and appealing but they come out like this. Should I just start tracing from 3d models or other artists or is it over? Why is it so ugly?Please help.
>>8027004WHAT THE FUCK IS SYMBOL DRAWIN
>>8027004have you tried copying 1:1 a face you like
>>8027004Draw from life. >>8027005Drawing things the way you think they look instead of how they actually do
>>8026959Your biggest issue is the lack of overlap, and the folds and joins you drew don’t read well. Focus on creating depth by using overlapping shapes.>>8027004The more stylized you draw, the more symbolic your drawings will become. That’s just how it is, so you’ll have to come to terms with how much realism you want in your art. The easiest way to figure this out is to look at art you like, find something that satisfies your preferences, and start studying it.
Im having trouble figuring out the perspective for this. Im trying my hand at some basic landscaping, its supposed to be a castle/ruins on a cliff that's overlooking the ocean, and some clouds. From what I've drawn, is this a two point perspective? how would I lay out some rulers to help with this? any info is appreciated.
>>8027019I don't agree
AH NOBODY HELPED ME.
>>8027004>look 3d and appealing>animePick one and only one.>stop symbol drawingYou need to start using better symbols like they do in anime.Start tracing from anime settei and pro illustrators and learn what they're doing to make their faces look good.
Symbol drawing has zero meaning outside of a copy. Anything that is not a copy is a symbol drawing by definition.
>>8027035Anything 2D lineart based is symbol based. Western art just has had really crude symbols for a long time now (or just styles with no lineart at all) so people aren't used to seeing the full subtlety of anime symbols.You can train your brain to see anime as it is though.
>>8027021Looks like a 1 point, perspective
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLL I DO IS SHIT. FUCKING SHIT.I DONT HAVE TALENT TO DRAW. I AM FUCKING PERMABEG SCUM
>>8027037The word for it is stylization. Why not use it instead of Dodson's retardation?
I want to be talented like the brazilianfags, toru and senseifag.I am tired of getting nowhere.
>>8027052>i want to copy and cheatGo ahead? What's stopping you? AI borderline killed art
Plz teach how to draw appealing 3d anime faces...
>>8027062draw appealing 2d anime faces
>>8027063B/but I dont want my shit to look 2d and flat and symbol drawn...
I CANT ROTATE THE SKULL. I CANT ROTATE THE FUCKING BOX I CANT FUCKING DRAW FROM IMAGINATION IT IS FUCKING OVER. I AM FUCKING TALENTLESS SHIT.
I CANT DRAW BECAUSE I DONT FUCKING HAVE FUCKING TALENT.
I dont draw anymore because when i look up "drawing" on instagram all i see are attractove faces, art really is all about pleasing the penis and copying, not something i want to engage with, and once again all the crackheads and dismissive fragile toxic masculine faggots were right, art is gay as sin
For me it was the moment jews decided to mess with the water supply and killed japanese art, the last bastion of actual art and animation. Also created troons , completely demented retards. Now it's all brazilians and zoomers copying AI. Fucking grim
Could I get some help for the pose on the top right? Its maddening, I can perfectly picture the positions in my head but I just can't seem to get it down. Maybe I should've practiced construction for more than 2 days...>>8026878I like it. Might've used too many lines though, the fewer the better when painting.
if anime is 2d how do they make anime figures
What do you think? Can you still sense volume when the rough sketch isn't visible? The problem I'm trying to solve is that when I do the line art, I lose volumetric/spatial legibility. In simple terms, the line art looks flat. But with this new way of thinking about line, I think I'm achieving what I'm looking for, at least on a basic level. Then I would just have to apply the concept of "exaggeration" to saturate the figure with more volume (curving the appropriate edges more, like the skirt; a simple transformation would make the buttocks feel more volumetric). Of course, all this without using shading, not even the basic kind that uses a single tone. My reference artist achieves line art rich in volume, and that's what I'm trying to copy. By the way, I'd like recommendations for other artists whose line art you feel communicates the volume of the surface without using shading...
>>8027070you don't get to call art "gay" when you voluntarily go on instagram, faggot
>>8027090I understand a little of what you said, but you do use shading. Highkey 2tone.
>>8027090I could if you drew the fucking fingers
>>8027090you dont have this problem, i often have it much worse than that
>>8027094in my mind it was more like ambient occlusion but i do understand your point...
>>8027090>My reference artist achieves line art rich in volumeis this drawing a copy or your own? if it's the former what's the ref
If it helps anyone else, I also eliminated what in my system/process would be the clean sketch phase; it comes after the rough sketch phase and before the line art phase...>>8027098They would have taken time away from other parts; the sketch and line art were simply there to prove my theory. I know for sure that I needed to draw the fingers; now that I think about it, it would have been enough to just indicate them...>>8027103It's my own drawing. The pose is also generic, easy to remember and execute...
>>8027108>I also eliminatedThe rough sketch is blue, the "clean" sketch is what you presented.
>>8026949More like /LHG/ leaned helplessness general
>>8026940Hands getting better
>>8027109i understand, i should have posted an image explaining my point. nvm...
>>8027110AAAAA and nodraws nagging general
>>8027004Unironically watch that one pikat video about heads/faces.Also loomis.Drawing from life should help you sort of *visualize* how the mouth or the eyes should wrap around the face, and where they should be placed to give the impression of being tridimensional.Do use 3D models too. Don't trace. Observe carefully and draw them, write notes, etc.
>>8026540Crit on this so far?
>>8027117Book ref
>>8027117Unless it is meditation, it's a lot of busy work and a very inefficient way of doing it. But it made me realize I should emphasize the spine more instead of just using noodles.
>>8026819inspiration>>8027004Hide's course about heads
>>8027090This looks like a AI copy or based on AI bullshittery. 2 flat volumes, one is simply closer to the camera.
>>8027121To me, busy work is meditation. And yeah, I just sketched a few snake skeletons before doing this
>>8026540Oh this is the first time my art got featured.I was thinking of finally buying a new screen today because I really want to be able to finish the Asgore drawing, what do you guys think of the AOC 24G4HA? I don't know much about screens but it's the cheapest IPS screen I could find here
>>8026566The new Soul Eater is looking dope
>>8026701>>8026892thanksalso any books on linework/lineweight?
this furry shit is hard I get why they make so much money
>>8027148>I get why they make so much moneyI don't, you'd think it's the first think to actually go
Behold the garbage I pulled out of the trash tonight guys
>>8027151You have good energy, but you need to up your figure drawing
>>8027153For certain
>>8027138NTA and idk any books but this is helpful
>>8027138This too
>>8027138>>8027175i should have specified that it doesn't have to be a book, may be a cheat sheetthanks anon this is a great help
>>8026886cute muramasa!!!!>>8026940he's a 2000s vn playboy character so close enough probably lmao
>>8026886Don’t listen to the first guy, this is pretty great
Don't listen to the guys from before, shading needs more work. Nice drawing though
>>8026590The point is that i can't keep doing this because i am directionless. I don't know what im doing and i don't want to draw something hundreds of times when i dont even know how it should actually look>>8026592>can be found on OCC for nadaWhat?>>8026806>Feel good videos Thanks i guess but i've watched dozens of those already. I'm not just going to rewire my brain and not look at my dogshit with utter disgust because it's logical that it looks like shit
Does anyone know why despite being drawn rough, my doodle on the left looks better than the right one that I tried to intentionally draw?
>>8027211>i don't want to drawthat is the problem
My comic continues. :D
>>8027108>It's my own drawingslavemogs me then. I can't do angles like that yet. I think the sketch looks great and your linework has energy, saved. really nice brush too. I think the fig is volumetric enough, but it could've benefitted from you finishing the hands. them interacting with the ass would emphasize its volumeI've read somewhere that you should think of lineart and shading as one and the same, and you kind of do that already with the shade under the skirt and stuff>>8027169>>8027175the are the only two images about line weight that exist on the whole internet it feels like
My weak point is my coloring for skin. When characters are mostly clothed I can do it but otherwise it feels impossible. How to move forward??? I HOPE to color my next drawing and dont want to make the same mistakes over and over
>>8026551Good cope
>>8027212Left has movement, right looks more static.
>>8026674It's the best OP in a while. Good drawings picked and even some interaction going on. Best one in the past 20 threads for sure
>>8027224looks great, makes me feel the form >I can't DunningKruger
>>8027000Not him, but I agree with the guy you responded.I think society goes to shit because we ate up the Yoda pop culture bullshit of controlling emotions that we developed throughout evolution.Best to burn it all down at this point.
>>8027052I'm tired of you
>>8027237it thousands years older then yoda
>>8027068That's right.
>>8027236He doesn't have Dunning Kruger. Or he has, but not in the way you think he has. Too much on /beg/ and /fig/ and his success among the small timers went straight to his head and he didn't improve in half a year.
>>8027240True. Many religions preached such dogma, while kings ruled with sword and whim.
>>8027175kek, I’ve had this saved for years.
own design
>>8027247They did, but babyish behavior was not encouraged among kings.
>>8027252great
>>8027224Line weight is unfortunately a very underutilized and under studied element of being a good artist, damn shame there aren’t any popular books (or books at all) about it
>>8027228your weak point is the frenulum, you seriously need to go on a goon sesh and study like 50 dicks from reputable nsfw artists , also the anus is like way way way too small>>8027175this ugly thing again, yeeesh

>>8027286Torulen? That niggershit 100% just feeds his scribbles to AI and then traces it digitally. You can see in his process how he makes his usual scribbles and then in digital just liquifies and transforms it into another drawing.Nowadays anyone is AI assisted. Even mangakas.

Symbol drawing fag here. I want to draw proper monsters and hot girls, so I torrented Proko’s beginner course, but I read his figure drawing one is not good. Any suggestions? I guess I should just focus on the beginner course first, though.
>>8027004try not drawing a symmetrical, front facing head, it might helpalternatively just try copying takeushis art since they all have the same face angle lol
>>8027391Study animals to draw monsters and draw from life
>>8027362hot and juicy. well done
>>8027381Second
>draw from life
>>8027402Yes
>>8027402This but unironically
calling it finished.
>>8027407Looks good but I think you should get some backgrounds in at some point, even if minimally detailed, it would give your robots a story.
>>8027402>He doesn't have naked teenage boys posing like sluts and covering themselves in olive oil around his houseNgmi
>>8027415Goals
>>8027416Foid
>>8027402https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DbIG9jmjI4
>>8027407It may be a preference, but your range kind of ends in the middle; maybe it would benefit from some lower values somewhere.
>>8027401Third. Low-key struggling with downward turned faces and Asian features in general, especially the hair. Might need to go to an Asian restaurant to brush up on them, I don’t typically draw them.
>>8027394Preferably studies of real life monsters, like Donald Trump.
>>8027443>muh poor immigrants and troons!
>>8027445Like the Orange pædo's fake wives? And the pædo-kikes middle eastern foreign agents?
>>8027423Is there that much of a difference between drawing from life and copying? I get that there are some differences because when drawing from life you can look at what you're drawing from different angles so you can't just 1:1 copy the 2D projection as easily, but how big of a difference is that. I think I've drawn like 1 thing from life, everything else is either copied or from imagination, but maybe I should do more life drawings.
>>8027452It is mostly theoretical because drawing from life is not something I ever do, but it probably creates a better connection between the lines you do and the 3D object they represent, compared to just reproducing a flat contour.
>>802744510 drawing that will make you say fuck walls and laws and shieet
Any figure drawing quicker than 15 minutes is beyond worthless. All you do is shitting out a lot of bad figures. Rapid firing mistakes. There's no learning happening at all. If anything it makes you worse for forcing you to commit lots of mistakes and reinforce bad habits in quick succession without any time to think over and fix.
>>8027461It is a memory thing. People with god memory are like sponges for learning, so they can spam fast drawings and retain a lot more. Of course, many become teachers and think anyone can do the same.The average retard NEEDS to put in more time, correct mistakes, and then do it again and again.
>>8027463If they had god tier memory they wouldn't spam it
>>8027434yea basically forgot about that step. added in some more darker spots.
Total days worked: 17Total daily prayers for an escape: 20
>>8027452yeah, there's the whole aspect of turning 3d into 2d, plus choosing the framing and compositionespecially if you're used to copying artwork, there's more abstraction and simplification involved
How important is memory drawing to improving overall?
>>8027478WTF is memory drawing?
>>8027452Drawing from life is much more difficult and you will improve much faster. It is a massive difference. The same way looking at a picture of a fish is much different than going to a pet store and seeing one. Yes, do more life drawings, you’ll thank yourself in the long run.
>>8027478It’s very important but it really depends on your goals as an artist. Just focus on drawing as much as possible. >>8027479Take a wild guess
>>8027478depends on your goalsanimators draw with the ref sheets and storyboards beside them, but they're still using the knowledge they've acquired
>>8027485>>8027486Ok, thanks for the input. I've been very stagnant in my progress and noticed that I spend a lot of time looking up and down and my paper and the subject, so the entire drawing process has felt very disjointed. I suppose I should try getting more stuff on the paper after one solid look and then fixing things after rather than continually going back and forth every 2 seconds.
>>8026878Kino. Looks like an old photo of some romanticism pianist
>>8027003Awesome job anon, nice hand. His shirt collar feels weird though, too big? Makes his neck look very long
>>8027496Just transition between reference and drawing from memory. Draw it from memory, then draw it from ref to see where your gaps lie. Draw it from ref, then draw it from memory. Then draw a few from memory on your own. Just Lee drawing.
>>8027511Keep*
>>8027507thanks, I messed up the overall proportions, the head ended up too shortI should pay more attention to the horizontal and vertical alignments for the next one
Is furry smut fine to post?
>>8027525Yeah post it
>>8027527
>>8027528You know the fact it's a child-or-child-coded-character might have been more relevant category to ask about rather than just "furry smut"Rope.
>>8027531>>8027532Oh well
left or right?
>>8027557Left
>>8027557The left is kind of Mr. Robot framing, while the right is more balanced but also shifts focus. I would not do either, but why not
>>8027557i mean I guess the right gives horrible implications that the kid's gonna die and that sort of thing works with chaos as a representation because they are horrible fucks but at the same time it can be a bit on the noseleft
so i have to gather references to learn the subject, then i need to sketch its shape and carefully place its features, then i need to refine all of the shapes, then i do the linework, then i color it one way or anotherwhen am i supposed to express skill or creativity in this process? i dont see it.>n-no! you dont get it, i gave the crab big tits and rotated it a little bit, a-and i drew a lobster too so thats juxtaposition
>>8027570>i dont see it.Because you express your skill and creativity in reduction and not in the artwork
>>8027295You know, the point of my first post was literally asking for some recommendations regarding courses or artbooks that would guide me through the processExactly what you're sayingOnly 1 person actually replied with a recommendation I guess i'll just go with Proko. Seems like a good guy. Marc Brunet and Hide too.
>>8027211>What?lurk moar
>>8027477so less drawing what you see and more what you think you see?
>>8027557>>8027559>>8027561>>8027563the boy gets to live thanks to you anons
>>8027573uh huh
>>8027580no, it's still drawing what you see, but going through a layer of translation, from 3d space into 2d paper, high detail into simplified lines and shapesfor it to be effective you need to be decent at 2d copying, imo
>>8027584so translate 3D into symbols. got it
>>8027592If it's 3d it's not a symbol no?
>>8027581i mean he's gonna die eventually, it's warhammer
how come theres barely any gore art here or on the entire board for that matter
>>8027597you're looking for the intersection of two very niche interests
>>8027597always thought about doing it but it looks hard and im not sure how to go about it
>>8027597We have the bath drawer. He represents about 2-3% of artists, so it is probably like a normal distribution for such a niche preference.

Do you have any advice? I'd like to atylize the anatomy a bit more so my style doesn't look so weird. And I'm trying to create more dynamic poses and backgrounds to make my drawings more interesting. I hadn't drawn in a long time and just recently started again; I usually do fan art.

>>8027391Based monster girl enjoyer. Just copy art that you like and mix in some originals every now then. Drawing what you love will is extremely important when it comes to motivation.

>>8027947Thanks! I did not plan well, but by the time I realized it, it was too late. That is the thing about trad, sometimes we have to commit.
>>8027869>it just won't look good at my current skill levelThat's totally fine. It doesn't need to be great for now and it doesn't need to be something you always draw, it just needs to be a safety net for when you don't know what to draw or don't feel like drawing.I guess my point is that I think drawing every day makes a difference. If you can draw things you don't particularly love and still keep a daily drawing routine then it probably doesn't matter though. If not, then finding something you can draw every day would probably do you good.
>>8027983Good boy.
There should be more gatekeeping and more bullying on /prebeg/ and /beg/ to get rid of them

>>8028133Slowly anon, slowly we shall get rid of them
>>8028136I thought it was a misshapen horse
>>8028067Me, I’m really shit
Feeling sad, at least I drew something. I thought working in a team was the solution to laziness but I keep finding that the people I work with aren't as invested in projects as I am and they end up quitting, I do think I'm actually for real ngmi, at least as far as long term projects go
>>8028108What's wrong with being a beg? I for one, am a 30y old unc. Started like 2 weeks ago studying and only have 1 or 2 hours a day to draw.I ain't delusional. I might ngmi but at least I'm having fun.Pic related was 2 weeks ago.From pic rel to.>>8027983And.>>8027217There's no improvement at all. But at least I'm having fun and that's all that matters.
>>8028151we started at the same time and are both unc. looking forward to seeing your progress
OK how does one learn about composition and contrast and actually making finished pieces that are pleasing to the eye. most resources i find on here relate to drawing figures and anatomy but nothing for actually creating "scenes"
>>8028151>might ngmi but at least I'm having fun.ngmi, be honest >I'm having fun and that's all that mattersCope
>>8028151Is that Romanian?I think you have potential as an abstract artist.Middle aged women like all sorts of non-conventional art forms.
>>8028142framing the pushback as being the side getting rid of artists lol, if it was an unrelated troll reply dont take it personally
>>8028149Don't stress. A project is never easy, and the scope is always bigger than you initially planned. Start with just a simple page, screen, or scene, depending on what you're working on. It doesn't matter how crude it looks, just start. Later, it becomes easier once you know what the actual work is going to be.The changes between version 1 and the final release are going to be huge, so it's better to have something that looks crude but actually finish every phase than to spend too much time trying to make each phase perfect.>>8028151> I'm having fun and that's all that matters.based, keep going>>8028176Old movies in black and white had to focus more on the composition of each scene because they couldn't have multiple cameras shooting from multiple angles. They also had to make sure the values made the scene readable. Besides that, Creative Illustration by Loomis is his best book, and it talks a lot about composition.
>>8028149define the medial quad muscle
>>8028176i dont, i am aware of concepts but i have given up on putting them into practice because there is an underlying creativity issue
>>8028230lighter version, not sure which is better
>>8028231I like the darker more, at least on white background.
>>8028231Top one is better famalam. Very cool though. I wish I had a good understanding of mechs and their mechanical parts so I could effectively draw them.
>>8028231
Kinda proud of this... I know it's not amazing but this was ambitious for me and took a while. What do you anons think? Should I keep working on it or move on?
>>8028231Probably darker. But at first, it felt a bit too harsh.

Is Fun with a Pencil really a beginner trap? Whatever that really means. It is next in my list after Keys to Drawing.
>>8028254> It is next in my list after Keys to Drawing.Dodson is a trapLoomis is based
>>8028257This whole /beg/ trap nonsense hurts my head. I'm just following this list after Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain(it helped me a lot).
>>8028259>no Hogarthyou're ngmi
>>8028259if you already went through drsb (and can draw relatively accurate from observation) you might not get as much from keysstill, the list is pretty good
>>8028259>This whole /beg/ trap nonsense hurts my head. You should ignore any mention of it. The trap is not being curious and do not draw. The list is fine. Robertson is a trap.
>>8028239thanks doc
>>8028269You should avoid doing this kind of thing. If it is not a cast shadow or a reflection, just stick to value change ==plane change.
>>8028274>value change ==plane change.i do not understand

>>8028514>>8028516>>8028519You ok bro?>>8028527The fact that the entire outline completely changed would indicate that yes, he ran your art through AI, probably one of the Comfy workflows.Fucking BIZARRE that he wants to play pretend that he was the one that originally critiqued your work.
>>8028561Comfy UI is just the GUI, don't worry about it.Imma bet all on the faggot beaner that can only "draw" faces in a straight on view.>>8027978Desperation of getting followers with no actual skill to back it up, too obvious 5 me the 40000 IQ retard, never been wrong (so far)
>>8028569I know what Comfy UI is. Now your enemy and all that. As for the other anon you linked I'm not saying he isn't using AI (what the fuck is that hand) but I'd need to see his other work to make a fair judgment.
>>8028570its just a bunch of straight on faces that arr rook the same. No vendettas allowed, shan't doxx. Might be wrong on this one, i don't really care anymore, feels obvious doe reeks of desperation.
>>8028554yesget into the habit of making your own refs
>>8028573AI faggots deserve to get called out, but I agree, one shouldn't make false assumptions without being completely sure.
>>8028574well can you give me tips since i posted it anyway? for the torso i mean, does it look decent?
>>8028576first clean up the lines, decide which ones you want to keep, erase the restyou cannot see your own mistakes if everything is a mess

I shouldn't have rushed through the start of this, I don't know why she has 4 bones in the ribcage. I don't think I'm cut out for fine anatomy, I'm just too impatient.The colors were a bit halfassed, but I think it elevated it from shit tier to trash>>8028106Thanks for the advice. While I don't have anything in particular I love draw(maybe the face), just drawing by itself is very enjoyable; I can spend a while just in the zone. I guess the only problem I have is in deciding what to draw, which I'm mitigating with studies and copies.>>8028572inspo>>8028321Could maybe zoom out a bit, show the tree. The composition feels a little indecisive: it doesn't know whether to focus in on 2B or show a bit of the background.
>>8028573Only Dandan would know this much about ai slop
>>8028621kind of interesting, but the chest/boobs a bit flat. Otherwise, it's quite nice.
Guess I will stop lurking for once. I really need to find the time to practice anatomy more.
>>8028493Thanks for the idea
>>8028629nice
>>8028629sexo but head and stomach needs bettered
>>8028629I am pretty sure she is flat.
Where do you find or make "art friends"? Is it easier on twitter or bluesky? maybe even instagram?I assume you need at least to get people to see your posts, so i guess this can double as a question about the easiest website to get exposure on for art. i wouldve asked about tiktok and insta, but those 2 seem very selfie and video based. i doubt still images will work on either unless its an IRL photo
>>8028658Discord is probably the easiest. Why would someone from Twitter become your friend? But this thing is mostly solitary either way.
>>8028658>>8017431
>>8028658friends = problemspeople = annoying
>>8028658be someone first.
>>8028681Define "someone"
>>8028497if AI can color this well, I'll use AI for coloring.Rendering is something for monkeys anyway.
>>8028683fuck off
>>8028549Too much painting. Shape design first.
>>8028611Tried to fix it a bit, I'm moving on.>>8028683bait too obvious
Skulls
>>8028681yeah and how do you "be someone"? by having your work found by people, people who would then want to be your friend. so like i said, what site is best for finding friends and having work found?
>>8028703instead of getting found, find people yourself and have something to show. Or go where artists mingle in your city.I'm /beg/ and had artists want to share contacts with me, because they liked the style. Then you talk about Bridgman or whatever.You meet friends like you meet friends in other contexts, just that art friends specifically want you to be a proper artist at about their level or better.
>>8028699very cool skulls and very nice color experimentation. I like it!
>>8028695Sick. Alright, I'll redo it and try to keep shapes in mind. Thank you!
>>8028715>go where artists mingle in your city.im not that kind of artist.
had a dream i was skating>>8028696>>8028628interesting
>>8028066I could probably make the buster part a bit wider, ill have to play around with it a bit and see if I can correct that.drew Linne, today I looked into limb shapes. Im not happy with her sword arm, but i think the shape of the thighs and calves looks ok, I really need to look in to how to actually draw faces, and perspective is going to be fun to study once I actually study it.

Hey how the fuck do I learn to draw like this guy:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_nUyEI5QuSc(But on paper, don't want to do it on white board)
>>8028741>>8028746I'm jelly. Shameless incompetence is a superpower.
>Want to draw animu because weeb >They all rook rike asians >They arr rook the sameHow to fix or is it litearlly impossible for a brown, thanks. Pic not related, i used a toy reference for this one. >>8028776Fisheye? >>8028736That's a man>>8028732Cute, 2d sword though.>>8028720already looking like a professional with the dead beady eyes, all you need is a nose now>>8028714That's also a man
>>8028781No, you are retarded. Make him quit
sloppers encroaching
Daily reminder that you not gonna make it and wasting time
>>8028695not anon but I feel something just clicked in my brain looking at this>>8028629SO cute I love how fluid the lines are>>8028621Very pretty colors I enjoy how you colored the skinRough sketch & want to know if there is anything I can do at this stage to make it more appealing
>>8028695how do you even practice shape design?
>>8028805Yes, it's impossible for a brown. The hand you drew even has too many fingers. Just use AI at this point
>>8028695Where did you learn this?Feels like another layer beyond the usual
>>8028880Speak for yourself and only yourself and the other talentless hacks
bros how do get good
how do people manage to make anime faces so cute and alive seeming? its just like 3-4 elements in that face, almost nothing basically. yet it conveys so much character. is it just years of experience on how to place the features? you can recommend courses too.
>>8028966They've drawn 10 thousand anime faces
>>8028966is it yours? cool stuff
>>8028968hell no
>>8028892You just need the genes for it, unfortunately
>>8028966its just the eyes really.i wish making it in art didnt involve drawing eyes and faces, oh well. sadly i am never making it.
wip
>>8028973I was hoping there is a way but if it genes then ill accept that too i guess. Not much you can do about it.
>>8028240nice tits >3>>8028699cooool>>8028987please dont listen to that retard
>>8028986he cute
I realized that I don't have patience to read/study art books anymore. I've been spoiled by youtube
>>8028988well if nobody can answer then hes right isnt he
>>8028930Ok sure, post your work.
>>8028892he prompts so you can too
>>8028966
>>8028922extreme case of tiny hand syndrome
Cleaned it up a little.
>>8029001plz teahc how to draw
>>8029013https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DbIG9jmjI4
>>8028892In this instance, shape design refers purely to deciding the shape of the light and shadow side of the figure before doing any kind of rendering. OP was already adding too much gradients, hence "too much painting." It looked vague and messy.Paint hard first, then soften where needed.
>>8029033Long hips , flat ribcage
>>8028990its a girl
>>8029033big boobs
>>8029036i freel like i fucked up the coloring with too much tone variation. might redo some time
>>8029040design is fine but figure is mega awkward too
>>8029033Decent face and tits, horrendous everything else. That’s a nice problem to have though because the face is the hardest part
Genuinely need some help, how do i stop deathgripping everything? I am so clenched up and maxxing the pressure on my tablet that my "gesture" attempts end up so stiff and lifeless it feeds the stress and increases the amount of bodyweight i put on the screen. Do you guys stretch or anything before attempting just a shitty doodle?
>>8029053make it less horrendous if not lazy
i am bout to draw for the first time, very scary, wish me luck
>>8029072Fortune favours the bold anon.
>>8029033Others anons are gaslighting this drawing is W faps.
>>8028995My mum didn't raise no liar
Is this level of hair detail appropriate for how close the view is or is too much?
>>8029112seems about right
Working on a VN about 12 identical sisters, I wanted to put all of their sprites into one image and ask for advice on if their personalities and gimmicks are all clear. The actual images are larger and not JPEGs, but this was the only way I could get everything in one image.
will drawing buildings translate to drawing better in general?please respond
>>8029125it wont make you better at drawing humans but it should improve your perspective sense, which helps with drawing other stuff but dont expect to magically be able to draw cute anime girls. You should draw the thing you want to get good at.
not responding
>>8029112not enough
>>8029124Second one reminds me of Rick
work in progress that looks kinda weird. thank god i can make all the fixes i need to do a problem for later me
@grok teach me how to draw like this
I CANT FUCKING DRAW.GOD MADE ME TALENTLESS AND PERMABEG
>>8029187Why are you asking on this site?
kek
>>8028533i redid it with a better posewhat do you guys think?
>>8029200did i get the pose right? here is the ref
I wish I was friends with russia
me too,.,.>>8029198well done
cant believe you niggas shilled this glenn guy
>>8029125It'll help with construction, perspective, and will probably help improve your linework, which are skills that carry over to anything else you draw. You'd still have to learn other skills (like anatomy if you wanted to draw people), but eh, the broader point is if you want to draw buildings, you will pick-up useful skills in doing so. Incidentally, I saw a dude on youtube who could draw the most detailed and intense cityscapes you've ever seen... but by his own admission, he couldn't draw a face to save his life. That's because drawing cities and vehicles is THE thing he cared about doing, he didn't care about drawing people.
>>8029195I think someone drew this for /beg/
>>8028621I think you should draw Asuka again some time. Y'know, for old time's sake.
>>8028998Sorry, but nobody here is so bad he posts 6-fingered characters.I think you really are at the bottom of /beg/. Accept the hacking order and draw.
im following this anatomy course and at this point Im wondering why the fuck I need to know every muscle in the body
>>8029298It is annoying, but you are not expected to memorize everything. Just by familiarizing yourself with them is a game changer to learn how to draw the body in any position/angle and stuff like that.
>fucking around with some old drawings>apply blur filter to lines>suddenly looks much bettertry it yourself its pretty cool
>>8029319It looks different, but not necessarily better or worse.
Okay, who switched from a pen to a graphics tablet, do you remember that moment?My skills are already terrible, but when I picked up the tablet, things got even worse.Do I just need to get used to it? Or is there something about it (difference in drawing maner) that I dont know?
>>8029001cute>>8028695fuark
rough sketch. I need to figure out the tube and hips and legs better
had to draw really lightly to prevent wearing out the tiny little stick of lead left in the pencilI think the face/head doesn't look terrible tho
stuff
sketch
>>8029378crazy how there are gay artstyles
>>8029380do I have an gay art style
>>8029200>>8029202I feel like I got the torso correct at least but with bigger pecs
>>8029394you're alright, the heels do seem a lil zesty though
>>8029268I will, thank you for acknlowedging meI just wanna say I do not like that face I drew, looking at it I just wanna delete this drawingyes after 7 years I still have not found my face style and I draw a different face every timeI genuinely am so jelous of artsits where you can go back years and they draw the same stuffi am a piece of shit
Today I started on my "big project". Had to give up right at the start. No where near the skill level required.Instead a daily drawing. And a burning desire to end my mediocrity and level up.Hand studies, torso studies, legs, skull, motion. Painting. I'm done with "just draw" /beg/ limbo. Time to take the hobby seriously. Time permitting (cut into sleep? No. Something has to give).I'm plateauing at an ugly level that I should leave behind ASAP.
>>8028805how do you get to this level and still draw 6 fingers kekw
>>8029396good, I don't want my gay sex art to look too gay
>>8029379You might need to repost it again.
>>8029413why
Draw a cutie (unless you're scared)
Trying to learn to do some of these environment sketches. When I look at them, I feel like "so cool... and it seems simple enough to do!"... Nope. Dealing with such small-scale, city planning, building style and details, even if they mostly cube-shaped here and there, it is tough, especially in trad.I feel like I struggle with any detail, so maybe I need more mileage on drawing isolated walls, houses, textures, and medieval/fantasy shapes before attempting this. Even details such as trees and foliage at a distance are a struggle because I have no visual memory.I imagine if the artist used a ruler, even though it seems mostly freehanded.
>>8029407Not my real level, It's just a reference drawing and i'm slightly blind. >6fingersBetter blowjobs.
>>8029378Nice workI do think that in 3/4 views you have a tendency to make the cranial mass at the back of the head too small
>>8029431Also: HOW CAN SOMEONE FROM 1668 DO THIS SHIT? Did they use magic or something?
>>8029462nice grind
>>8029450It's doable if you have the time? You have to keep in mind that this artist probably had months or even years to work on this, and it was all he did in that time.
>>8029466But the details... It must have been a giant canvas, perhaps.
>>8029463Thank you
I wanted to use my drawings to share my ideas with others, to create what I knew was beautiful. The crabs mocked me until I couldn't stand it anymore. They claim that drawing is all down to talent, but that isn't so. Sometimes grinding exercises is warranted and right. Sometimes you improve because of it. Any failure to get the results I want is due to a lack of skill on my part. That can change, in time.But my creativity has not diminished, nor my desire to tell stories with my art. The more time I spend drawing boxes, the more I am certain that one day I will be able to draw as I must.
>>8029431Thatss a ruler, the coliseum looks like a something between a 15 to 20 deg ellipse. not freehanded completely
six months in. this is my first attempt at drawing a figure completely without references
Just messing around today. Also fuck drawing beards. Just hair in general>>8029578constructionmogged...
>>8029419where's the cute?
i think its neat but not enough to finish it
>>8029578>six months in>my first attempt at drawing a figure completely without references
Current WIP. Trying to draw less like a /beg/ through sheer willpower.>>8029578i dont understand why youd draw it without reference, you seem to be struggling so just use it? Feels like a trap that will lead to frustration if thats how youre measuring your skill. The pros literally just shoot their own reference if they need to.>>8029600This is super cutely done, i like the story-telling you did by giving the son a disability.>>8029462I really suck at drawing boxes/construction. Youre doing great. A few days ago i did learn to create a box rotation grid thing to practice doing construction. You did a great job im jealous of your 3d sense.
>>8029634This is sick, anon.
>>8029578>Just two months less than int brazilfagBrutal
>>8029010Now the hard part, Idk how to render it. :*(
>>8029680Kneel!
Is being left-handed required to be a good artist?
>>8029634>i dont understand why youd draw it without reference, you seem to be struggling so just use it?You draw far too well for such a take.You seem to struggle with hands, just hide them behind the character instead of drawing them!See?
some critique, please?
>>8029719could push the contrast more maybe
>>8028432Koh-I-noor 3050.
>>8029719the clothes are kinda ass
>>8029719the shadow color looks a bit dull.Maybe add some color to it with an ovelay filter real quick and see how it looks.
>>8029734where did you learn rendering dude?
>>8029734Pro work
>Pro worklol
>>8029737Miguel IglesiasSomewhat trying to copy his style and workflowhttps://youtu.be/1SglfH3td8o
>>8029739The rendering could easily fool someone but yeah when you take a closer look it starts to fall apart.Nice rendering though
>>8029742it's mainly the skulls, isn't it?
>>8029740i see, thanks
>>8029732
>>8029742i didn't wanted to say anything because obviosly a shit ton of time was wasted polishing a turd.>>8029744It's the tiny hand, the weird body, the proportions are literally /beg/ tier, etc. the rendering is really good though , close to pro grats
>>8029748it cool and dramatic but>the rendering is really good though , close to pro gratsnod really
>>8029739It's exactly something I'd expect in a Codex/Army Book.
>>8029747look like fingers
>>8029720I somehow never dare to put enough contrast.>>8029731Thanks, don't know how to make them better>>8029734Thanks, will try.
>>8029761fair enough
>>8029747idk
i could be drawing right now
>>8029750Pyw
>>8029602We can all read anon
>>8029720>>8029734Any better? Did add contrast and made shadows more colorful.
>>8029779I'm not trying to diminish the work - being compelling is the whole purpose of all this, but on a purely technical level, most stuff beyond the smudge on the cylinders is quite weak.
The Effort ist Fruitless.
Trying to draw heads/faces, any call outs before moving onto the hair? The eyes are also placeholders, will work on that later too.
>>8029200any help please? i just want to know if the torso and arms need work
>>8029796sigh, the collarbone is way too high for one
>>8029784this is my quick attempt. With mouse only, so a bit messyAlso added a rimlight.
>>8029800what else?
>>8029796just put them on top of each other in a program with low opacity.You will instantly see what you did wrong/right
>>8029805That's much better! I have to look tutorial about rimlight.
>>8029811it seems like the chest is too high and some positioning is wrong in the arms and legs and the size needs to be bigger except chest that should be smaller
>>8029812I increased the contrast a bit and then just painted over it in overlay mode with a red-ish color.Then just color picked the shadow color(on new layer), shifted the wheel to blue and made it brighter and just painted alongside the edges with a bit of blending.Hope it helps
>>8029788lmao
>>8029634>sonalright ill take it>>80297943/4 looks like a completely different face
>>8029791shit sucks doesn't it.
>>8029829Hot
