Should I feel bad about not being included in the collage even though I didn’t post in the last thread?
This looks very flat and stiff but I tried to imitate Noahdoesart's inking style and hatching as closely as I can

Experimenting.Although it is not a successful experiment, I still want to share it.
>>8044662yeah, it's all from last threadmore than a few didn't get any replies, so I really wanted to include them>>8044663no worries, I never make threads so I don't know the timing or anything
Progressing with the design. Not entirely sure whether or not I want to drop the weird beak head but I'm leaning towards yes.
>>8044658very naisu, i like the hatching.
I feel like my colors and rendering in general isn't interesting. Any tips or guides on how to find rendering techniques?

>>8044673Sounds good, i will try that and see how it goes, thanks
>>8044675Kek
I tried using the Accuracy method that anon recommended. I think it came out pretty well.
>>8044671>like Nanashi?basic anatomy and knowing how to use the lasso tool + airbrush combo, as well as control pressure opacity for hrba lot of effects are also substractive: first going with a soft or hard brush, then erasing with a hard edge
>>8044681I see! Thank you. Will try it once I have more experience.

>>8044701Which book is that?
>>8044730
>>8044732
>>8044707I would use CSP in Linux if I could, but I couldn't make it work, so I use CSP when on Windows and Krita when on Linux.I'm a beginner so Krita is good for now, but once I'm an /int/ or /adv/ I expect to be using CSP only.As for Android, the best programs seem to be CSP, Ibis Paint, and Medibang. I use CSP.
>>8044733
>>8044718>An exercise.>1) Paint a landscape from memory, or from a text description.>2) Locate a photo reference. Recreate it.>3) Synthesize the referenced painting and the imagined landscape.Too difficult.Bottom right looks like a landscape from Dragon Ball.

How do I get good at shading?
>>8044758>>8044760Getting good at the basics, drawing from life, drawing from guides online, maybe get a book for it. Try to trad as wel if you’re not good at shading digitally

>>8044768Communicative yet flat. Study form and perspective to give your drawings more depth. I really like the triangular shape you used for the legs

>>8044742This. Holy fuck can these prebeg retards learn how to combine their shit doodles into one collage instead of spamming a brand new thread? It was already hell trying to get a new one made.
>>8044783narcissism is a hell of a drug
>>8044783They're studies, not doodles, so its not even like you can discuss them beyond >wooah sick fackin leg broAnyway, >>8044769Critque this
>>8044786Either combine the ""studies"" into one large image or link a group into a catbox link you newfaggot retard. We dont need to have literally 20 images of your drawings spammed in a row.
>>8044786>>8044769I can barely tell what's going on on the bottom part aside of it being a dude's headtry to make things less vague and more defined, it wil also clarify your thinking and make mistakes easier to see

I'll be the first to admit that trying to mimick Kotoyama's heavily stylized artstyle as a complete begginer is kinda retarded, but I love their art and it's fun to try and do while I'm figuring out some of my first poses. (doesn't help that the arms are hidden by the baggy sleeves) (I opted to fail first and then try to learn from it)
>>8044828not retarded at allthe faces might be stylized but his sense of proportion, line weight and drapery is very niceI might do a study of that sketch too
>>8044822why do you use transparent backgrounds? even just a block of gray would be better. value is relative so your value choices will look completely different depending on whether the background is light or dark.
>>8044834Oh that's good to hear, I might keep trying this way then.If you do get to do the study, I'd be happy to see the anatomy below the clothes, which I'm missing.
I'm going to brute force tyler1 style to learn art for a month too see if I actually get better at it :p going to plan it all out and stuff only issue is my arm is kinda messed up and I work and stuff and older but I'm gonna try it for a month :p
pretty stupid question, but how do I actually get started on drawing the body? ive been doing nothing but floating loomis heads for a while, which is fun, but id actually like to start drawing full body stuff and have no idea where to start
>>8044860Get an anatomy book or find à figure drawing teacher and study their work

It's been a month, so I need to get back into it.
Study notes on some Kaoru Mori. She's just incredible. Maybe tomorrow I'll try a partial copy, but honestly, it feels incredibly challenging.>>8044679Good job, anon, but the hip box isn't being used at all. Study that abstraction, and if you don't understand it, don't use it because it's just going to be noise.>>8044702Damn anon good job. That's not an easy drawing at all. I think you're focusing too much on local value instead of using gradients to represent depth. Check out this lecture from John Muir Laws on fungi. It helped me a ton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awoau1xJ1Ls>>8044718Check out this video from a pro background artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsMBCIetiR0. I think it's going to be helpful.
>>8044921Very good
>>8044915Random, in terms of full ill it's probably 20~.
>>8044927>Study notes on some Kaoru Mori. She's just incredible. Maybe tomorrow I'll try a partial copy, but honestly, it feels incredibly challenging.From what I understand, most artists don't draw all those laces and clothe details by hand but use pattern brushes. They're quite popular in CSP asset store.>Good job, anon,Thanks.>but the hip box isn't being used at all.You think so? I drew it to keep in mind the orientation of the pelvis, and I think I got the horizontal tilt right, though maybe not vertical tilt.
More slop. Appeal at an all time low. Wasn't able to draw too much today. Need to go back to doing the construction copies, my figs looked marginally better after doing those for a bit. >>8044927neat jellyfish
>>8044939fuuck just noticed everything below the knees is way too big
>>8044939Try measuring the distances a bit more carefully and using your eyes a bit more instead of drawing what you think you know
>>8044939>>8044940Keep also in mind the curvature of the spine. You drew her straight as a plank.
>>8044870I like your bed
>>8044938>most artists don't draw all those laces and clothe details by hand but use pattern brushes.Yeah, that's why she's so worth studying. She's a beast. Otoyomegatari is incredible.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBC9bA0vKDMAbout the hip box, if you're comfortable using it, find it useful, and understand the abstraction, just keep using it.>>8044939Thanks. The longer you keep drawing, the more you're going to notice what's important in your drawing. Try reading gesture drawing for animators from time to time. It's not a linear book, it's a collection of notes from Walt Stanchfield's Disney lectures incredibly insightful.I think the proportions work, and the face is nice, but what throws it off is the lack of weight. Where is all her weight resting? On her left leg. So everything should feel balanced around there; otherwise, the figure will give the sense of falling backward. quick example.
>>8044825Image I used as ref. I did not like the pose of leg so I had to redraw that. Was that what fucked up the pose, or was this doomed from the start?>>8044841I do this for DnD campaign I am playing on, I give characters without backround so GM can place them how he wish. Maybe I should instead do the dark grey background.>>8044883noted. Thanks for crits!
how does one get over the exhaustionLike usually I can draw for 20 minutes and everything sucks after mentally, so I feel even less motivated to draw againHaven't drawn anything serious in months because of how tired and erratic I've been and I just keep pushing it off because of all the comm reqs I need to finish
>>8044990i think you're depressed bud
>>8044990Wahhh wah wahh!Tough shit nigga! Nobody cares about your silly ass story!Real niggas don't need to complain about how to cope, they either suck it up until it becomes a routine and more bearable ORThey already enjoy the process so much that they don't give a shit if they struggle for the entire making dog shit because they enjoy getting better. Self fulfillment. Self actualization. Apply yo self!
>>8044778that's too many attempts per line.You should practise line confidence. Draw only 1-2 bold lines per edge.Practise on paper!
The vast majority of this thread won't make it.

i see in a lot of beginner articles and books they form their figure sketch blockouts with 3d objects like cubes and cylinders, is that just to inform perspective? is there anything wrong with just using 2d shapes like circles and squares like ive done?

I've been learning how to draw for a few months but i have no actual structure on how to actually learn. I've been doing nothing but drawing shapes, various head methods or styles and copying random things off those twitter accounts that post random "how to" images.Like, i want to draw characters but where do i even begin? Drawing separate body parts? Maybe skeletal parts of them first? Gesture maybe?? Do i just stick to the heads? Where do i even get the resources for the body parts or faces?This is sooo overwhelming. Too many resources up on video courses and books on the IC torrentAny recommendations?
>>8045022>'ve been learning how to draw for a few months but i have no actual structure on how to actually learn.You are doing it the correct way>Like, i want to draw characters but where do i even begin?Begin by drawing a character
>>8045022I've been at this for even shorter time than you, and I plan to do the fuck it we ball method, where I just do random shit I feel like doing, look at what's wrong with it after and maybe try to fix those issues in another drawing (unsuccessfully, but I bet it will click after some time)

>>8044778>>8044997Alternatively, make a new layer on top, lower the opacity of the lower layer and use this very rough sketch to make the same drawing with fewer cleaner lines.
What did I learned
>>8045044If you can’t articulate what you learned, then you didn’t actually learn anything
>>8045041SEXYChubby chicks need more loveLove me some cellulite
>>8045044If you do not know why you are doing somethingdo something you know why you are doing.
>>8045022I want to draw beautiful works of art, which includes not only characters but also scenery such as nature and architecture and fashion.My plan is>Gesture>Body Anatomy>Face>Basic Perspective>Shading and Lighting>Coloring>Rendering>Fashion>Nature (environments, plants, animals)>Advanced Perspective>Architecture>Composition (how all the elements fit together in a single artwork)Something I have learned so far, though, is that all these things are ABSTRACTIONS. They do NOT exist on their own but work all together at the same time to make a drawing good. You CANNOT separate them or the drawing looks like shit, and that is why you must try to learn them more or less at the same time while improving each part.If you draw a gesture without anatomy, it looks like shit; if you draw anatomy without gesture, it looks like shit; if you draw color without light and shadow, it looks like shit; if you draw light and shadow without perspective, it looks like shit; and so on.So my advice is not to worry but focus on each part at a time, with the understanding that it will look like shit no matter what because you haven't still gotten a good grasp of the other parts.>This is sooo overwhelming. Too many resources up on video courses and books on the IC torrent>Any recommendations?Focus on a single work or a couple that deals in depth with each step instead of wandering around from shallow tutorial from shallow tutorial.I think I already got a good grasp over gesture, so I'll try to up my level by deepening my anatomy with "Anatomy for Sculptors" by Uldis Zarins.
i think the general shape of ostrich has some massive potential
here's the before and after of my aqua sketch from last thread. i tried to improve it based on the advice you guys gave me, probably still not perfect but i like the improvement and i'm not gonna change anymoreif you have advice for my future works or things to study, i'm all ears
Damn, that Accuracy method is really good! This came really REALLY close, almost 1-to-1, and it only took me 30 minutes instead of 1 hour or more.
>>8045086What accuracy method

Gesture is an advanced exercise, the culmination of your current knowledge. Instead, I would advise focusing on doodling, copying art you like, and learning the basics of the visual language (composition, values, negative space, overlapping, shapes). It takes what it takes.

>>8045221You're pretty good, anon. That's a nice snake.
>>8045062Thanks Anon
>>8045086À problem with simplicity and planning. Analyze the choices the artist made and mimic those choices in your own ways. You’re drawing too many sharp shapes, you lack value simplification, and your anatomy is poorly executed. Get more familiar with your subject while doing these studies. Best of luck.
>>8045224Thanks anon. Been working on the sketchbook since may of last year lmfao
>>8045234Anon, your advice never makes sense to me. You don't know how to explain things. And it seems everything is simplicity to you.Here's the same drawing after doing some blending and softening like this anon >>8045101 recommended.>>8045232>>8045235You're welcome.
>>8045239Maybe I am bad at explaining things, but that’s why I draw something for you too lol. >everything is simplicity to youBecause that’s incredibly important in art. Look at these Will Weston drawings. Look at how he breaks down the complex subject of the hand before he draws the hand. That’s all I’m saying. Get better at doing things loosely, simply.
>>8045239And your values here need work. 3-4 value scale, then work from there. And also try to use more smooth and flowing lines when you shade
>>8045245>>8045247Alright.

>>8045187Things to improve would be hue variation and texture. These two things can give a lot of movement to your painting without being too in your face. One important concept you should familiarize yourself with is perceptual value, because hue alters how dark you perceive a value. For example, your darkest yellow will be lighter than your darkest blue, and vice versa.>>8045272>is digital painting really transferable to physical?Yes, but also all your bad habits are transferred. For example, mixing on the canvas instead of mixing on a tray and then painting with the mixed color.Soft pastel, for me, is the medium that feels the most like digital. Gouache would be second. Soft pastel teaches good technique: no smudging, no mixing, and no overworking the paper fibers.For example, I can paint a lemon in both traditional and digital almost the same way, except the traditional version is going to be richer in color.>>8045313I'm not a fan of Loomis, aside from his Creative Illustration book. For /beg/, I like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. It has great exercises, covers most of the relevant art jargon, and teaches you how to tone the paper.
>>8045327Fuck you, he's giving good answers.

I haven't drawn in the past month and during most of the past year I was pretty lazy and didn't progress much, and as I'm starting to want to do art again I feel really awful mentally thinking about all of the missed time, do you guys have any advice on combating this?
>>8045416no, you fucked up and theres no coming back, never draw again, you should feel bad.

>>8045443why? because im a straight man that wants to have sex with beatiful boys?
>>8045444Oh wait that's a man? Carry on then faggot
Drawing with pen and paper is so fucking exhausting. So much energy is wasted by having to scrub with the eraser and having to delete the whole fucking thing and start from scratch if there is a single mistake. Everything gets smeared with soot/graphite.I can't fucking stand it. No wonder I always dropped drawing whenever I tried learning. I did so well by buying a graphic tablet.
>>8045461
>>8045288
>>8045479Really nice.
did way too much knitting today it feels like brain crushed and burnt
I look like that
>>8045469This isn’t bad. There are plenty of simple things you can do to improve, in order of importance:1. Draw bigger: Aim for 1 figure per page.2. Work on your pencil control: Your lines feel too harsh. Start really softly, make your marks, and little by little build up the linework.2.5. Do this exercise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKSbhbZ_-VQDo it for at least 2 weeks to let your hand get used to how much force you need to apply. For the gradient exercise, instead of going from lightest to darkest, do it the other way around. Start with the darkest square, making it as dark as you can, then make each following square a little lighter until you reach paper white.3. Switch to Printer paper4. Start using a kneaded eraser and learn how to use it.

>>8045495Reddit is utter shit as a website.You need karma to post or comment, but you can only get karma by posting or commenting.You get downvoted, shadowbanned, and permabanned for the stupidest of bullshit and the slightest deviation from other posts or comments. If you post in one subreddit, other subreddits ban you for posting in other subreddits.Everything is extremely curated towards turboleftism and wokeism and that kind of content gets spammed on every subreddit and on every post.Shit website in its entirety.
>>8045495Automod deletes all comments made by new accounts or low karma. Nearly every sub has this feature.Yes it's fucking retarded. The only thing you can do is wait a week, karma farm on a front page sub, avoid posting anything controversial or right of center, avoid posting in any problematic sub that's sitewide tracked, delete your comments so you're not tagged as a karma farming bot and then you'll be allowed to post regularly on reddit.

>>8045239I recommend not getting too caught up in the weeds. You're making very complicated shapes from the shadows and lights Vilppu has put down. Look for the largest mass of shadows and light. Squinting can help with this greatly. After you have your shapes down, soften edges where you need to. Apply 1 value at a time, especially at your level. I'd argue you shouldn't bother with value until you can actually put things in place in a clean manner. Definitely work on your heavy handedness if you could, try to approach the subject with a more sensitive touch even when measuring. Avoid hasty mark making or rather mark making without clear intention, it'll just make your drawing look rushed and lacking in thought/consideration.You got the accuracy working for you close enough. Maybe look into sighting drawing techniques for more ways to see. Ideally, you should be able to see the bounding box of any shape you're drawing and compare how tall it is to the width and vice verse.>>8045368It can? All Loomis does is just make a simplified head, it's based on form principles of xyz axes. They are manipulatable.>>8045413The gay does not understand>>8045539tasteful legs
>>8045542Thoughtful critique. Thank you. Will try to work on it.
>>8045539Nice.
>>8045542>>8045551Should I change my brush to add some softness? I've been using Krita's "pencil-2" hard brush because I like how it can make light gray strokes with low pressure but also dark lean lines with high pressure.The other Krita brushes weren't to my liking. They go from too thin to too thick, or they always remain full black or too light, and so on.
>>8045555I did mine with just the hard round brush with pressure opacity. Really all that matters is that you get the result/effect that you want. Different brushes have advantages or makes getting a result easier. If you need a soft edge, find a way in isolation or along a swatch. If you need a dry and soft edge (dry brush), you need a brush that has a crispy stamp and so on. I did these with pencil-2. Making it bigger gives a little bit of a randomized spacing/scattering on the 2nd shape. 3rd is hatching, you can choose either. Make sure to go along the shape to keep the edges controlled.
what do you guys think? Can i fix the gesture by changing the middle guys hand to a different pose? Or is it a lost cause atp>>8045542>applying construction to an arleady finished drawingsomething something retroactive justification
