why are high level artists are here? is is some kind of attention seeking? or is the board culture so brutal that everyone is told to come here?
>>8058184nice
>>8058182it's /beg/ & /int/. getting out of /int/ is a very high bar.
>>8058187why do you draw?why do you share the stuff you draw?
>>8058182Some are very talented. Some are not. Both are beginners
poop hashira
>>8058189It's bait & a derail. Not taking it is a very high bar, apparently
There were discussions of splitting /beg/ and /int/. I have a better idea: keep /beg/&/int/ but add /prebeg/
>>8058206just make it
>>8058206doesn't work, just causes more drama
THREAD CHALLENGE.
>another argument over separating /beg/ and /int/We do this every thread. Every single one. It's not going to happen so just stop (you won't)
lost 6 hours of my life rendering a loli over a graphic design bs "background", ended up going too dark and too light with the values out of necessity and it didnt work out, at least i practiced highlights and whatnot.maybe tomorrow i can find the confidence for a serious drawing
>>8058210looks extremely uncomfortable
i know this isn't the place for 3D but i want to share anyways

alriiiiiiight lets see if I will keep drawing this time
>>8058185It's bad drawing and a worse painting imo, really /beg/. Too much airbrush

>>8058182this is the only draw thread of this boardeverything else is dead
>>8058231Should I keep working on this or drop it
>>8058303I like it. I'd say keep going.
wip i need to finish. need to do face, clean up background, and make sure the darkness of the lines are sort of consistent >>8058282really nice I like how angular it is
>>8058303Check your DM
Another day of procrastination. Atleast I drew a bit. Figure from imagination and a little looking at a mirror for the hands. Felt like a bad bitch>>8058222Looks amazing dude; I can tell how much effort you put into it. I had to do a bit of 3d modeling earlier this year and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done.I especially like how you did the outlining effect when it spins, how the hell did you do that?
>>8058185Thanks!

ALL MY FUCKING SKETCHING IS SHIT. ALL MY FUCKING SHAPES ARE UGLY FUCKING SHIT.
I CANT FUCKING UNDERSTAND THE FORM. EVERYTHING IS FUCKING SYMBOL DRAWN DOGSHIT LIKE A TODDLER WITH CRAYONS.

critique on the lighting welcome

>>8058421The shadow casting on the ground between in legs from the wall and the mech's leg should extend the same dark value up the side of it's other leg . The mech's face should also have tiny form and cast shadows on the side plane of f the head and eye sockets too
>>8058438kinda finished>>8058444i think i did the things you recommended although im not good at reflections on polished surfaces.
>>8058387Nice hatching texture on the table
I <3 stylizing references pictures and never learning perspective or construction
how do you make construction stop feeling like a complete slog? i just have zero interest in constructing faces/bodies and get bored or disinterested whenever I try
>>8058470and it shows
>>8058485Try doing it without constructing and see how horrid it looks/how much better the constructed piece looks. Sometimes you just have to demonstrate the importance to yourself.
>>8058485start being lazy skip some steps and add the muscle on top or whatever you're drawing.
>>8058490Should I focus on perspective or construction? Though I guess perspective is inherent to construction with boxes and all huh
>>8058496Now you get it.
>>8058287nice
>>8058521You're line work is so shitty, get this shit out of my face! Same when you coloring too wtf.

Haven't touched my wacom in months
>>8058520Really really nice colors>>8058521Nice and creepy >>8058565Abstract, I like it. Where did you get the ref?>>8058578On the right page- colors and proportions look good- just work on facial and head depth like pic rel. >>8058583Good colors and decent values,just needs more anatomical knowledge. The butt and lower back are surprisingly more complex than you’d think.
>>8058467Thanks anon>>8058470It’s good to stay loose, I think this functions well as a quick sketch.!Keep practicing anyways >>8058465Great lines but make sure to get those larger shapes finished >>8058460This looks great. Great style, colors, and fundamentals. I think the background and dirt are a bit ambiguous and that the armor texture needs more detail, but you’re on the right page. Keep it up >>8058499Good face, hair, and shapes- just work on line confidence, proportions, and simplified anatomy.>>8058518Great stuff per usual, huge fan of the one in the middle plus the way you draw titties rocks
>>8058355thanks! the outline is an inverse hull. basically you duplicate the model, scale it up slightly, invert it, and paint it black for an easy outline
>>8058603>just work on facial and head depth like pic rel.I literally can't, I just can't fucking understand 3D visualisation, I've been fucking trying but I physically can't, everything I draw I despise

Any ideas on how to further increase her insectness without sacrificing sexiness? Also just need help with the perspective overall.
>>8058371>>8058370Talent
>>8058657it's almost like your attractions are warped
>>8058657>how do I draw ugly thing without making it ugly, and no don't say to not draw ugly thingYou insectfags are something else
>>8058534that head is huge
>>8058657I could see some chitin plates on the sides of the arms, thighs and ass; almost like armor.
>>8058675It's a humanoid race for a game. It's not a particular kink or anything lol. I've done two already and this one happens to be scorpion themed.>>8058669Because of the muscles or because of the insectoid characteristics? I'm not really trying to turn her all the way into a bug or anything. I want her to remain attractive while also pushing the scorpion/insect characteristics as far as I can.>>8058681I'll try adding some. It's hard to do that without taking away from the silhouette but I'll give it a shot.
>>8058178Tried changing colors around what do you think? This is the before :
>>8058687And after :Did it improve? I have two monitors with different color profiles or something like that so it's kinda tricky to know which one is supposed to be the better looking one.

>>8058688no offense but the lighting wasnt really the issue, at this point you're just polishing a turd. best to move on and start something new
this okay improvement or am i fooling myself left from jan, right is today. been trying to get in at least 30 minutes per day, haven't really gotten a good study routine down
It pisses me off how sometimes other artists get really catty or start throwing shade when you show them you work and then tell them you had to work hard to get there. Then you try to be humble and tell them that their work is good, and then they immediately start trying to imply that they're better than you because they don't study. Your lack of follow through and commitment doesn't make you a better artist. It makes you lazy. I'd respect you so much more if you actually had the willpower to push yourself out of your comfort zone. You don't. Your shade and snark are proof that you yourself know you won't get to my level so you delude yourself into believing that if you tried you'd be better than me. Yeah, I agree, however, you won't try. Because most people don't. Most people seem to not understand, that the work is the hardest part, wait no, they do. That's exactly why they don't do it. So you keep not doing things, throwing shade, eventually you'll become a crab as time continues to slip past you. I'll keep studying. Growing slowly over time. In 10 years, I'll have crown to be an advanced artist, I know I will, you however, you can keep your talent. Its worthless with the work that I put in. You weak willed lazy bitch. Get out of my sight. You don't deserve my compliments if all you're going to do is throw shade back at me.
Gen Z really seems to be obsessed with this. The obsession with being "effortlessly talented" is the most transparent defense mechanism in creative spaces, and it almost always stems from people who are terrified of confronting their actual limits. They cling to untested potential. They rather living in a fantasy than acknowledge reality and then push past those limits in spite of reality. Everyone could be a master if they felt like it, until they actually try. Lmao.
Delicate, fragile ego. Pathetic little worm. You need to take a good long look in the mirror and confront your own insecurities them come back when you're ready to actually sit down and be humble. You lack substance. You lack follow through. You think that the best of the best got there by doing nothing? What kind of deluded world do you live in? This isn't an isekai anime, the only people that works for are nepo babies. You aren't one. Shut the fuck up and accept you're a lazy piece of shit is too terrified to realize their limits, or actually try for once in your pathetic life, recognize that you are HUMAN, imperfect, unskilled and LIMITED. Then be a HUMAN and PUSH past those limits anyways. You do that, then maybe I'll start respecting you again. Until then, your ego has become a stumbling block that I'm not interested in helping you get over.
>>8058369thanskiess :333i love ur lady >3>>8058713who are you?
>>8058719thanksies?
>>8058713can you post some of your art? not trying to throw more shade im just curious where you are right now
Fucked it up, so turned it into a joke about our cat to pander
>>8058688You actually did a great job with the colors
>>8058717LMFAO!! Who are you talking to?
>>8058684>Because of the muscles or because of the insectoid characteristics?both but bug shit is worse. >oh hey I know I'll take a safe horny muscle fetish and combine it with roaches that will be great!Try zooming out on your own thought processes every once in a while
How do I do lineart? It sounds stupid but I can't do it. Everything I do comes out so scratchy. I've tried different brushes and settings but the problem persists. Am I supposed to be doing long broad strokes? Am I supposed to be doing the shorter, almost frantic lines I do while sketching and then erasing the messy purposeless lines? When I line on paper with a pencil my lines look decent and there's varying amount of volume and thickness so I don't know why I'm struggling here. Also I tried asking this a while back but got accused of being a namefag schizo. I don't know who that is but it's not me.
>>8058709>this okay improvement or am i fooling myself 'okay' depends on your goalswhat is your target
>>8058808>Am I supposed to be doing long broad strokes?yes
>>8058808>Am I supposed to be doingYou can watch someone draw, youtube have lifetime watchtime of it. You can try to trace drawings. If it looks too scratchy then don't scratch so much.
>>8058808https://youtu.be/s66m3USgKfY?t=678watch how non-precious yoshinari is with his linesit's more important to keep flow going and to have the right shapes than to be super cleanso relax

>>8058178Today’s life drawingshttps://imgur.com/a/pvrnGl8
>>8058210I really dislike those dog-ugly freaks that the thread challenge maker gives us.Today I really noticed how much it affects my mood to draw something I don't like and I won't do it again any time soon.They say people improve fastest when they draw what they enjoy. AT the same time thread challenges are a fun exercise, to draw something outside of your comfort zone and compare the approaches of others.
>>8058815strong understanding of anatomy, perspective, gesture, and form. i want to be a better drawer than a painter/renderer (at least at first) by 'okay' i more meant 'am i developing slower than normal' vs 'am i getting where i need to be'. i know i'm a long, long way off from what i really desire
>>8058717>be humble>maybe I'll start respecting you againI think I'd rather be arrogant than a validation seeking cuck. I don't care about your respect, I'm not a gymbro or a mobster.Gassing yourself up is fine, if anything it's good fuel for motivation, the only problem is when you don't really believe your own smoke, which can make you too scared to even try, It'd be better to be completely full of yourself. Are the people who do this annoying? Sure, but I dislike the humble liars more myself, those who say they don't study at all yet ace all tests. At least the lazy people who glide through on C's and B's, coping that they could get A's are easier to poke holes in and make fun of.>"This isn't an isekai anime">"Then be a HUMAN and PUSH past those limits anyways">Proceeds to unironically give the most shounen anime diatribe ever, lmao.
>>8058713>then they immediately start trying to imply that they're better than you because they don't study.>Your lack of follow through and commitment doesn't make you a better artist. It makes you lazy.To be frank, I often find more raw talent in a 20-second exaggerated sketch than in a highly rendered, two-week atelier drawing. I do recognize them as the greater talent and they have the right to sneer at the sterile rendermonkeys. But I am biased because I strife to be a good fast sketcher.Perhaps a compromise is to agree that there's different sorts of artists>Yeah, I agree, however, you won't try. Because most people don't.Because that's just not what everyone envisions as their ideal. Who are we to critique the soulful webcomic sketcher?Also, pyw.
>>8058764it's some guy who doesn't know how to respond.You see his bitter posts in several threads. I wonder if it really is the same guy. I think it is.
>>8058864that type of goal is kinda useless, it's too vaguebe more concrete/objective about it: what do you want your drawings to look like, give examples
>>8058874freezingtarou29. he/she can pretty much draw anything, i long for that another artist who's good but not as good (my /beg/ opinion -- still way better than me, obviously) that i really admire is michiroon, because she's good at drawing interacting figures/tons of poses and her anatomy seems great
>>8058878with a concrete goal is easier to make progress towards itthe first step is easy, stop using a pencil and use a pen without pen pressure, be economical with your linesa few dozen copies of tarou's art would be the logical next step
>>8058884sounds scary because i still don't know the level of anatomy she/he does. but i guess i'll give it a try because i am just spinning my wheels at the moment. thanks
Some progress
I would like to announce that I switched from trad /nodraw/ to pixel art /nodraw/. I even bought aesprite... To not use it.

Why do some artists cope about low saturation? Just because you made the focal paint better doesn't mean the left one doesn't look better. Who likes gray pictures anyways
>>8059161Dis bih (in pic) cant be frRight one is ass
>almost 31>always wanted to draw>did nothingI’m really afraid because it feels like it’s too late to reach the peak
>>8059179you gonna die in a decade or what?
>>8059184he's already dead.
>>8059161it's just a matter of taste.Video games have been gone low saturation for so many years it has become a sign of AAA slop
please help me fix the hand. (Context: she‘s removing a gem with a screwdriver from the forehead of a skull. Don‘t know how well it reads)
>>8059194The elbow should be raised at level with or above her head and she should be gripping the handle with her full hand. Holding below the weight of the tool like that would give zero control over your movement. It may look more delicate but would absolutely not feel natural.
>>8059204In space, no one holds a reflectorhttps://youtu.be/HPumhJEsvkE?si=Js0JbcZWaFWbWOBB
>>8059161the concept is sound, it's just applied badly in that image, with the bg eating up all the saturation and making the character look lifelessI think it's better explained herehttps://youtu.be/OBtlgjUC6fA?t=1415
>>8059194looks like she is cave exploring
>>8059184Too old, Japan is dying, AI is replacing artists.I will never create masterpiece or work with my favourite creators
>>8058709Yes.
>>8058709Not bad for someone not gifted.
>>8058709>30 minutes per dayYou might reach low /int/ in just ten more years at that rate!
>>8059179That's part of the way I used to think up until the end of last year and it couldn't have made me more unhappy, whereas now I'm probably the happiest I've been in the last 15 to 20 years.Start drawing. It's not easy and you'll probably be even more miserable at the start, but it's worth it.
>>8059276Not everyone is talented enough to get something out of drawing. Most people who arent gifted have to grind for years to make it out of prebeg
>Most peopleonly (You)

>>8059161left would look better if they went for another bg colour

>>8059376Robaato.
I dont think this has turned out well
First sketch for a small oil painting. Any major flaws, before I transfer this onto high-quality watercolour paper?
Done this one after the prior, think it works a lot better
>>8059424ears too big, if you are aiming for prettiness...
>>8059445no
>>8059161do you know you have to balance the background with the figure, no? i dont understand shit about what he is saying on below those two group of swatches but the meaning is clear, at least for me, if you have a saturated background you cant have a saturated foreground, and if you have a saturated foreground you cant have a saturated background. but its subjetive, of course you can do whatever you feel like but i will look just awful or not appealing. as a side note, it doesnt have to be a strong difference like in your image, i can be more subtle, and that i think would be a more advanced application of the concept...
>>8059404I’m not a pro by any means either, but as long as you also practice drawing (esp. anatomy + general forms) in parallel, focusing on painting should be alright. I personally did both at the same time, and I found it motivating to do both in tandem, as it allowed me to produce ‘finished’ (albeit shitty) paintings early on.You already have a decent grasp on values imo (at least when it comes to the face), but the forms could be sharper/less muddy (see, for instance, the shoulder); I would also consider experimenting more with hue-shifts from light to shadow, as this generally gives paintings more ‘atmospheric’ coherence.Also, if you intend to go into painting in the long run, make sure to learn the difference between form shadow and cast shadow; this is what fucked me over in the beginning a lot>>8059450Yeah, I think this looks rough in part because the pose draws attention to the hands, and they look hastily scribbled in. Unless the woman is some sort of bodybuilder, the ribcage also seems a bit too large imo.You also ‘chicken scratch’, which further contributes to this looking beginner-esque. Maybe try using fewer, longer strokes; in my experience doing so will give you a better understanding of form too, as you are forced to more consciously consider the shape of what you’re drawing.
>>8059477Thank you for the advice, i think the ribcage is probably too large, i will practice paint and blending on the male figure and post at some point
jumping on the new twitter bandwagon
Does anyone ever try to draw when sick? The flu has been killing me for the better part of a week, and I'm pissed that this is the best I can muster today.
>>8059482Needs notable nipple bulge for the extra points.
>>8058583your ref is good for some things but not for value and paint i would say. for example, can you tell the direction of the light source? well, it might be easy if we take into account the waist back or the left gluteus. but can you tell the start of the shadow area? are you sure that isnt a mid-tone area? and dont point to me that between the forearm and the external oblique or the black spot at the crotch level under the gluteus because those two are ambient occlusion...
>>8059482thicc thighs, nooooiceee...
>>8059484well, i cant sustain the session if it mess with my focus/concentration...
warm up and testing some ideas.>>8059484If it's your job, you push through. If it's a hobby, you rest and watch an art lecture or whatever.>>8059424If it's just a sculpture and you're not planning to rig or animate it, you could soften the digastric plane. The jaw shadow is too harsh, and it doesn't look pretty.>>8059445This is the right board.>>8059161It looks amateurish and naive. That's why it feels dead. The contrast in saturation is way too harsh, making the chromatic grays look lifeless. Great artists usually use chromatic grays in the shadows look interesting and when the light hits the subject, it looks more vivid.
I CANT FUCKING DRAW FACES
>>8059484if you're too sick to draw then you should be resting
>>8059499>This is the right board/beg/ really is a cesspool. Pixelschizo, bathschizo, permabegschizo, ... and the sheer stupidity and mediocrity all around. There must be something better out there.
>>8059513a paradise where artists share their knowledge, praise and encourage others to keep improving, and where you can have a good time? that would be awesome...

What makes these illustrations and character designs from the 90s eye candy than modern anime art styles?
>>8059558art is subjective, i like modern anime art styles, so i cant really understand your point. maybe try broading your explanation and post an image with circles and arrows indicating your points of interest?...
>>8059558I would just guess. Nostalgia + because it's an "outdated" style it feels novel to you. If we were in the 90s you would probably feel tired of it like you do with "modern" styles now.
>>8059553use that self hate and make something great uwu
>Doing a drawing course on youtube >"First week draw a character. Then on the final week of the course redraw the same character and realize all the progress you made">Excitedly redraw the character>It's somehow worse...
>>8059564No, 90s anime was AWESOME. And we felt the change in style when it became loli faggot shit for pedo retards.
>>8059578>loli faggot shit for pedo retardsAnon that's literally all anime since it's inception.
>>8059530Last page of the day
>>8058210Obligatory bunny suit, despite it being a bad reference.>>8058221Great observation, It's not an uncomfortable pose, but her right shoulder creates a horrible silhouette that makes the pose feel uncomfortable.>>8059558I'm pro 80s 90s era. The biggest differences I've noticed are in the lineart and shadow shapes, they are almost nonexistent now. If you check the remakes, you'll notice that the face often had shadows to help convey its 3D form. The same goes for the neck line. Now, the face planes are a solid color, and the neck is rendered in the shadow color.Special mention to aspect ratios. Now you have too much space to fill. Previously, it was easier to fill the screen with characters and arrange them in a way that felt cozy. This isn't exclusive to animation, either. You can see the same thing in old TV shows and movies.https://postimg.cc/hfPyk7Xn>>8059583great job dude,

I could, but I won't :)
>>8059605Anime is for pedosno one likes anime unless they like kids too
>>8059643Kids is for pedos no one likes kids unless they like anime top

>>8058178I just finished this
>>8059659very nice
If I need to start some bridgman copies do I specifically need the human machine? Is construcitve anatomy or his other general anatomy books of his good?Can I trust those modern releases? I don't care about the text being easier to understand as they advertise themselves as, I don't know if they are integral or not
>>8059570Happens, don't let it discourage you and keep at it nonny
>>8058182People are saying it's because it's also for /ints/ but all beginner drawing spaces online that aren't for /ints/ get buttfucked by humblebraggers too. Or I guess the kindest interpretation is they don't realize how good their art is due to low self-esteem. But you'd think they'd look at the /beg/ art around them as an objective metric and recognize how far ahead they are instead of rubbing your nose in it.
>>8059659In the thumbnail I thought it was diarrhea spurting out of her ass
>>8058182you really think a high level artist would actually be posting here instead of actually making something with their work?
>>8059692The gunbarrel is off, the perspective makes it look like it's not supposed to be attached to the arm and that the girl is on some optical illusion tube.
>>8059725pyb (post your barrel)
>>8059725think its largely fixed now
>>8059266what do you mean >>8059272i sometimes get up to 2 hours but it's mostly only on the weekends when i'm not busy

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>8059482>>8059535Nice.
>>8059484I was sick for a whole week and almost didn't draw anything. All energy left my body and I had to be bedridden.
>>8059664They’re all good. Just study all of them
ALL MY FACES ARE SYMBOL DRAWN SHIT.
>>8059692Looks good but next time draw the girls thighs as cylinders in perspective
>>8059659Nice.

>>8059771my twitter acc is debuffed, please understandit's doing way better on Pixiv
i suck
I said id update on the figure, this is the values before blednding and refining, it looks like the reference when zoomed out on values so should work ok when refined.
>>8059813Still better than lunaticsoda
Painting humblebrag doesnt get attention, animeslop humblebrags get attention
any tips on how to match angles and such? basically be more accurate with copying?
do you guys have a ritual for getting yourself to start drawing after being lazy all day? or do you just go "ok well its time to draw"
say something good >>8059813post ref
am i doing the exercise correctly?
>>8059832no
>>8059832
>>8059833how am i supposed to do it then?
>>8059836https://warosu.org/ic/thread/7902209#p7957615
>>8059837oh, thats actually helpful, thank anon
wip
where can I get my hands on this template/practices?
>>8059813Arm too long, but looks pretty good otherwise.
>>8058210I was planning to make this one a rough sketch and then draw a more proper one based on it, but honestly I don't feel like it anymore. Will leave it as is.
>>8059680Thank you nonny. I'm redrawing it now. To be fair with myself I remember being way more focused when I did the first week's drawing than the last so I'm going to actually take my time with it now
>>8059482>>8059535Do you have an artist account to follow?
Commission piece. Any advice?
First sketch of a copy.
>>8059885Wtf, you receive commissions?
>>8059908Why wouldnt he? He is one of the best around here and commissions arent something that outlandish.
>>8059797That's p much how I've been for the past 4 days, thankfully drugs are incredible and I can finally sit without sweating. >>8059885Nah m8, this is a 10/10. Only thing I can think of is (her) right tit could maybe be slightly bigger, but it's a nitpick and will easily be fixed w/ shading.
>>8059908I've gotten a few but I turned them down because I don't want to draw any extreme fetishes. This was the first normal one.>>8059911Thank you. And yeah you're right, right tit's a little too small. I'm not gonna shade this one though because the guy only wants lineart.
>>8059909>>8059909>Why wouldnt he? He is one of the best around hereYeah I know he's good, but I didn't think he would be getting commissions at that level.>commissions arent something that outlandish.Really? I thought they were pretty hard to come by and only the top along with those with lots of friends would be getting commissions (the latter out of pity).
>>8059915>I've gotten a few but I turned them down because I don't want to draw any extreme fetishes. This was the first normal one.Hmm, I see. Once I get a good level, I plan to accept any and all commissions except for blacked shit and loli/shota guro (regular guro accepted).What's your account or artist name if I may know?
>>8059906Man, it's really hard to copy line weight. Guess I'll skip it for now.
>>8059203thanks for pointing that out!I changed it. Here's a WIP
>>8059917it's @megasch_
Being a non digital fag is so fucking annoying, unless you create high effort paintings or already pro level, no one gives a shit about youI get 10x the engagement with my shitty quality digital draws than anything I've ever created on pen and paper
>>8059927Thanks. What socials do you use besides X/Twitter? Asking for when I create my accounts.
>>8059916Anyone can coms. It's about marketing more than skill, but you still need to be at least halfway decent.
>>8059939None, though I'm considering creating a pixiv once I get a little better.
>>8059951I see, thanks.>>8059947I see, I see.
I kind of lost the plot halfway through. I wasn't sure what the fuck I was doing.
>>8059954use your eyes negrotake one of your colors. from the skin for example, and paint a mark over the ref, then adjust your color without color picking, and repeat
>>8059954I noticed that Light's face is kind of glowing on the left but darkened on the right, so I just tried adding a white-black gradient on a new layer on top and it kind of worked.I guess I could also have used an airbrush with white and then black?
>>8059958I'll try that next time.What I was doing is color pick then fill, but because the colors looked too dark and dull, I used a color adjustment filter to make them brighter; then I used either grey or black on a new layer with low opacity for the shadows.
>>8059961forget about all that, first try to match the colors of the bgdue to color relativity, all your choices will feel off if they're not in the correct context
>>8059963Very well.
Next progress on the painting, might take a break for today or draw something else. Everthing still needs refining but most of the legs and arms are done now i think.
>>8059954I'd call this one done and move on. Copying is great, but I recommend choosing an image with a complete subject instead to get more out of the exercise. >>8059921Looking good anon, excited to see it finished.
hello friendsrecently started drawing again, just checking inany advice?I know the features/measurement is not quite righthow are the values? I feel I should focus on getting the broad form and values right first
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>8059832>>8059834I'm not really sure if accuracy is a useful skill.Photography and digitally solve that problem, one could just draw the lines and then fill (without tracing because that looks unnatural).It doesn't really help drawing from imagination. I assume this is the goal.
>>8059991pick a better reference, that's AI generated
>>8059915what are some of the requests you turned down? just want to know what to expect if i choose to open comms
>>8060002point out whats anatomically wrong with that head.
couple of exercises after almost a year of nodraw
>>8060007One guy wanted "progressive inflation" porn and was trying to convince me to do multiple drawings in a single page for $25. I also turned down a guy that asked for "farts, semen burping and smegma licking". Some other guy asked if I would be okay with drawing furries and honestly I'd be willing to give it a shot since furries really do seem to have a lot of money. Had another guy asking for futanari which I said was ok but he hasn't replied.Hope that gives you some perspective on what to expect.
>>8060019interestingwhere do you usually get comissions?
Ran out of time. This hobby is intense. You have to sacrifice so much just to make the time. It's never enough.If you could go back, would you recommend your former self to not try it? I think I wouldn't. The thought may have occurred to me, though. The best defense for art is that other things are at least equally empty. There's a certain joy in art, being able to look back at done work from the past.
>>8060022Twitter DMs
>>8060029I would tell my former self to put in more effort
>>8060060Hmm. Why do you draw?
>>8059983Not super happy w/ it but I'm calling it here for this one. On to a commission myself. >>8060000That is in fact one of many different ways to learn to draw.
>>8059881pixiv: users/14735673I also made a twitter acc @rein1155 but it got flagged 2 months ago
Daily scribbles. Maybe if I mustered the effort to actually learn anatomy id be doing these better.Had an idea while at work, I'll try developing it. I feel like I've hit a barrier, and as soon as I break through it I'm going to be exponentially better.>>8060008Lips and eyes in wrong perspective, the neck is too big and completely wrong (the muscles and the ways they are stressed are impossible for that position), the hair looks ass, and the lighting is completely off
learning to sketch cars>>8060029learning to draw is one of the best decisions I've ever made.>>8060010good job!>>8060101looks good, I like it!>>8060108great figure! You're making progress, keep going!
>>8060019Nothing too bad, honestly.>>8060039And how do you receive payment? Paypal? I read that Paypal bans easily for art, and other platforms have high fees. I'll be offering crypto options for sure.
>>8059983>I'd call this one done and move on. Copying is great, but I recommend choosing an image with a complete subject instead to get more out of the exercise.Thanks. Yeah I've thought the same but these close-ups are easier and I would like to learn the eyes/hair, that's why I'm doing them for now.
>>8060029I would tell my former self that he wasn't putting in the effort he thought he was putting in. Lazy sack of shit he was.>>8059991Focus on placement of shapes instead. I wouldn't worry too much about values or edges. Notice how the far eye is behind the arch of the nose? Your overall proportions are pretty good, just need to hone the smaller ones. The lips take up more space than you think. Once you get these shapes down, you can add some light and shadow values much easier.
>>8060102Thanks.And do you know what got it flagged? So I can avoid it.
>>8059983>>8060101I like it>>8060010Legit appealing
>>8060060This is good but only if you squint really hard
>>8060127I'm the only one to blamedon't post huge bazoongas w/o tagging your acc as adult content
>>8060132Got it, thanks.
>>8060121Paypal yeah. If I ever get banned I'll see if I can't get a referral for VGen from one of my artist friends. Not a fan of asking for stuff so I'm leaving it as a last resort.
>>8060112>>8060129Thanks m8s!>>8060140I've been using paypal invoices for a while now w/out issues. I've heard vgen is good but I don't think I have nearly the amount of clientele to require a robust platform like that. >>8060132based
I need to get better jesus fuckking christ
>>8060140>>8060143I see, I see. Thanks.
>>8058210I should have not tried to ink the face. Made it even worse. Lesson learned.I'll go back to my old men drawings lmao >Finally ordered some mechanical pencils so I can soon stop using cheap Number 2s and Pilot G2s. Thank you listening to my blogpost.
>>8060112The bottom car looks weird, because the side that should be further in the distance was srawn bigger than the part in front of the viewer
I CANT FUCKING DRAW
>>8060168nce
>>8060000is it true you're a repping mtf?
>>8060126You have mogged me fair and square, I kneel.
what is your method for studying art? like from the beginning till now
any tips to improve this still
>>8060316The thick black lines on the bottom look kinda weird to me. Otherwise just more variance in either hue or saturation between the vehicles and the bg as they kinda muddy together.
>>8060318thx
>>8060334Slug takes a bit fart
I'm doing this copy and I just noticed something: the artist drew the foot backwards or reversed. He drew the left foot as the right foot: instead of the pinky on the outside, the pinky toe is on the inside, and the big toe is on the outside.
>>8060351Nah man, the toes are just bulbous and the pinky is the closest to us. Reads as them all being similar sizes.
>>8060351You are freddykrugging. these are not human feet
>>8060353>>8060358Kek I see.
How long should I spend on a copy? It takes me 1-2 hours just to do the lineart. If I try coloring, shading, and highlighting, it takes me another 2-3 hours.
>>8060087just something to sink my time into if i have nothing else to do since i can draw anywhere and at any point in my life, maybe if i spent more effort and time drawing instead of wasting it on video games and the internet I could have also made money todayIts also just feels good if you sometimes manage to draw something thats not half bad
>>8059991proportions are not good at all, look at how you stretched her face and made her jaw look so big. forget shading for now an focus on proportins/observation.
I bought an ipad recently as a portable companion to my large desktop tablet and I have been drawing considerably more since I can sketch from bed. Good investment imo!
I don't think I posted this, at least not inked.Any crits are appreciated
>>8060456very nice veins on your mushroom there. Draw it soapy next time
>>8059105thanskies >33
>>8060144you could be FAR worse
>>8060372
>>8060493There's exaggerating anatomy and then there's this. Jealous of ur line work tho
>>8060493Nice, but are you mocking me? As in "pff I could do this easily, you're a turbobeg!".
Did a character reference sheet thingie since I plan on drawing her a lot more.
>>8060545That's exactly right, he drew that just to make fun of you personally.
>>8060551Kek
I'm thinking of trying to start digital drawing, so I got a cheap tablet.Any protips on getting a good digital aesthetic? In particular what sort of things work well with coloring and texturing, how people choose palettes, etc. I know it's ultimately a personal journey, yadda yadda, but I don't wanna reinvent wheels if anyone has good generalist advice.
>>8060568>generalist advicedo the way pictures you like done
>>8060568If you're still in /beg/ territory, my advice is not to concern yourself too much with all the quirks and features, because you won't be using them just yet.That's what I'm doing. I'm beg so all I need for now are the basic tools and shortcuts. I'll focus on the more advanced stuff once I reach that level.
Gonna be real honest guys, I don't know how to draw boobs.Any tips?
>>8060579observe boobs
>>8060588Whose boobs?
>>8060358Her arms and shoulders are fucked up
>>8060636fix it
>>8059812> Checks pixiv Those are still rookie numbers kiddo. I think if you try and hop on a bandwagon and fail it's a good sign you may not be that special interest or technique wise
>>8060636>>8060638same faggot?post your blog kiddo
>>8060639No? I'm not the other guy commenting on Russia's drawing
>>8060640don't be a pussy coward and link your blogspoiler: you will not
>>8060638Post your own, let's see your numbers.And you don't know whether anon is spamming his art and accounts on communities to gain followers. He may be just quietly doing his thing and letting people find him.I think his art is pretty good.
>>8060579draw real boobs instead of adventure time bodies
it's probable lunatic soda having a sperg attack again
>>8060647I thought he necked himself? That schizo faggot stopped spamming his low effort doodles on /v/ too.
>>8060650Too good to be true
>still no progressNot feeling it Mr. Krabs
>>8060652I like your forms anon
>>8060652stop doing literally everything in that top right portionit's all poison that does nothing to actually help you create and is just garbage spread by every "imagination/no guidelines" art tuber
>>8060652it's really weird how you practice perspective and form so much and then forget it when sketching the face on the top row
>>8060672cus none of that shit up there actually helps you... you know, create and design faces for characters
>>8060673the design is fine if a bit boringthe problems are with the perspective and structure of that head, precisely the things he's practicing over and overlike the back of the head looks as if it were drawn in profile, but then changed his mind and drew the front as 3/4
Remember to ignore garbage feedback without any drawing attached to it
>>8060680Shouldn't he practice drawing actual faces or what he wants to actually draw.or do a bunch of loomis?
>>8060643>>8060639https://x.com/Icantdravv
>>8060694depends on his goalssimply copying carefully while keeping in mind what he knows about perspective and form could be enough
>>8060700>DandanYou can't make this shit up
>>8060646but noodle bodies are my style™
>>8060700I really wish that you were that peruvian indioBut I know it's not the case since he got btfo on asg

>>8060568go through ctrl+paint and see what methods and workflows you like
>>8060712>>8060703QRD? What did this nigga do? All I'm seeing is cope from that other anon who asked for his stats and got mogged
>>8060727He got doxxedNot gonna spoonfed you more, use the damn archive retard
>>8060727All the time people link his shit to shitpostIt's highly unlikely to be him
>>8060737I looked through the archive and there is only one anon claiming he was doxxed with no actual evidence
Dandan bros!? Is this true??
>>8060700I appreciate the sincerity. Let's compare.First, you created your account 2-3 years earlier than him. 2023 was also still solid pandemic territory, and Twitter rules were more lax, so naturally you had a larger potential audience on those three points.Second, you have 150 more posts than him. That also adds to your follow count.Third, you might have been spamming your art or engaging with various communities, which increased your exposure, while maybe anon didn't.That said, your art doesn't seem that much better than his in my view. The skills of both of you are pretty close.
It's just dandan having an ego triphe's notorious for being toxic and a cunthe was even more while hiding in anonymity before people finding his socials
>>8060700>https://x.com/IcantdravvYou aren't looks the same as his? or at least the same level.Honestly. At this point I bet you are just samfagging for attention but that's pretty much par for the course here
>>8060773>>8060780>>8060794He likes smurfing here and in /asg/ until he gets BTFO by actual pros and then throws a temper tantrum. Was outed as using AI references in 2024 too.
>>8060801Proof? Can you post those claims? I keep seeing that he seems to be pretty helpful giving redlines at the very least. Not seeing any backing of those AI claims in the archives
>>8060112to draw those hard surface things arent you supposed to use at least a box that tells you how it interacts with the 3d space? i think it would morph less if you use them...
>>8060794This is like the fourth time you've accused someone of samefagging when some retard has a melty about an anons work being posted.Oh wait, you're probably the same guy having that melty, KEK
>>8060773I disagree, DanDan draws faces consistently better than Rein. Even larger accounts will struggle to get as much consistent traction his account does with just sketches and line work, which is impressive.
>>8059812What did you do
>>8060815>It is impressive to get engagement drawing goon of the 2nd biggest gacha aroundCome on.
>>8060652you keep drawing the torsos stiff, and you're missing opportunities to push the gesture further. On a side note, I don't think you're using good quality references. They look like the ones in that ref thread, which are basically just bad softcore porn femme_fatal.zip. Good work keep going.>>8060195Thanks dude I will keep it in mind for the next session.>>8060808Thanks, dude! Yeah, in the next session, I'll check out actual workflows to see what the pros do.
>>8060801>using AI referencesDandan sisters... Not like this....
>>8060801If it's really him that's kinda dumbwhy is he making fun of that guy's twitter post out of nowhere, he will be known as some self righteous narcissistic here
>>8060807>? I keep seeing that he seems to be pretty helpful giving redlines at the very least. Not seeing any backing of those AI claims in the archivesHello dandan. You only redline permabegs because anyone with actual talent bodies you.
>>8060830He already is known as a self righteous asshole in /asg/. They know him as bweh there.
>>8058178
Today’s life drawings. Anyone know of any other image hosting sites besides Catbox or Imgur? My Imgur is down
>>8060853
You spend so long fantasizing about drawing throughout the day, and when the hour finally arrives... its all spent on not drawing. And even when you do draw, the little time you have is spent on bullshit.Values are off and the appeal of the original is lost. Gained nothing
>>8060902That's an issue with ADHD processing. Thinking about drawing can release the same chemicals that are produced when you do actually draw, so if you think about a particular drawing enough, when you actually get to drawing it it feels like double the effort because you're virtually starting "from zero". Thinking about a piece can be useful as background processing your steps and the overall look you want can benefit you when you do sit down to draw, but doing it too much will fool your brain into thinking you drew. That make sense?
>>8059499made some changesI like how she looks from the front but the profile is ugly. Not sure what to do about it though
>>8060907use refs... seriously.
>>8060917
>>8060942Very nice, love the style
>>8060842Cool and edgy
>>8059575Tried to render monkey
>>8058178>>8060822If it were so easy Rein would be famous too because he drew Jalter a few times. Obviously this is not the case. Just because something is popular doesn't mean you still need to try to stand out
>>8060652Are you studying any artists? It's hard to improve without a goal
>>8060949Looks great, good job duude
>>8058178Good day,I would like any critique you could give to my drawings please.I do know that my anatomy is lacking, but really anything you could think of off would help.Thank you in advance.
>>8060902Pretty true. I kind of realized this when I read Schopenhauer:>For these [meditations on serious, and especially unpleasant, affairs], morning is the right time, as it is in general without exception for all efforts, mental as well as physical. For morning is the day’s youth: everything is cheerful, fresh, and light; we feel strong, and all our faculties are at our complete disposal. We should not shorten it by getting up late, nor should we waste it with unworthy activities or conversations; instead we should regard it as the quintessence of life and, in a way, consider it sacred. [] Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.>Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena, Vol. 1, Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life, V, Counsels and Maxims, §13I'll try to follow his advice.
I finished the lineart and added the base colors. It looks a lot better now.Now comes the really hard part and where I fuck up horribly, which is shading and highlighting. I'm tempted just to leave it as is and move on.
>>8060995I think the bigger problem is the overall proportions and formsyou can simplify anatomy to basic shapes and still get a nice result, but if the overall proportions are off it's gonna look weird no matter how much anatomy you know
>>8060131any advice on what i should improve besides the anatomy?
>>8061015Done. It came out pretty well despite expectations. I feel good.
>>8061032Not bad, nice job
>>8061019what else is there but the anatomy?
>>8061032we have anime study general >>8048113in case you didn't know
>>8061042don't listen to this anon that place is awful
>>8060982Rein is shadowbanned. I have seen it take down big accounts if it doesnt go away.
>>8061042Everyone's art there is somehow worse than what's posted here.
>>8058179aww so cute
I CANT DRAW FACES
>>8061035Thank you.>>8061042I'm a /beg/ so I shall post in the /beg/ thread.
>>8060907It feels like you're raw-dogging it from the beginning. Usually, you'd do a mise en place and have a single source of truth for the front, side, back, and top views. The problem with 3D software is tuhat, without experience, it's difficult to spot these inconsistencies, which are much easier to catch when working traditionally. How are the top and back views looking?In the first segment of the video, there's a useful trick with annotations. I think you can fix most of the issues just by correcting the proportions. Keep posting, this is cool, dude.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQfVoXErHa0>>8060942great work the fishnet looks good.>>8061032great work, What was it about this piece that you liked and made you want to copy it?
>>8061063>great work, What was it about this piece that you liked and made you want to copy it?Thank you. The eroticism of its overall looks and its relative simplicity. I'm not ready to try copying complex artworks.
>>8060982It does kinda well when I draw some famous character on pixiv considering the view/bookmark ratio, but 90% of time I do some obscure character that only a few knows. Twitter is a lost cause, it was growing steady but after the notification all the random people likes and follows stooped
>>8058178>Keys To DrawingThis book has a lot of good advice but I dislike the whole drawing the outline thing. I prefer drawing the general shape/form and then refining it.
>>8060907looks pretty awesome but >>8061063makes some excellent points
>>8061016Thank you! Would you know a way to work towards having better proportions then?
>>8061041i guess i gotta stop being lazy
>>8061098the easiest would be to copy the proportions used by an artist you likemaybe something like the full body sketches from https://e-hentai.org/g/2867448/9bf28a8ead/the idea is to have a soild 'base' and build on top of that
>>8061105So more studying other better artists.Thanks for the advices, have a nice morning/evening anon
What online artist draws good realistic appealing anime faces and has plenty of resources to learn from?
>>8061135>realistic appealing animepick two
>>8061063>It feels like you're raw-dogging it from the beginning.yeah kinda. This is actually a revision. The first version was entirely based on a single image of an anime style character, I tried to capture the anime look without going the usual route of a typical 3D anime model. I ended up splitting the baby and it ended up looking pretty odd.With the revision I didn't want it to look like a human with big ears so I wasn't really using references. I'm kinda over that now, I just want her to be pretty. https://files.catbox.moe/fg4ilm.objJust throw this in a model viewer and see all the angles.pic rel is original ref. I guess the fat ears are the defining feature but I'd also like to capture her squarish jaw without making her to masculine looking
>>8060479Thanks, anon.>>8060470Love the mask>>8060733Cute elf eldritch abomination>>8060949As peak as always my man
>>8061238what program you use to draw? also I like the colors and the blur. >>8061096reminds me of some fantasy comicbooks i used to read when I was younger...stole them from my dad
>>8061269Add stars so it doesn't look like black void.
>>8061270Oh shit. I always thought you couldn't see stars in outer space but I just searched it up and you fucking can. Thanks for the heads up.
More comm work. Not sure if it's useful to batch sketch stuff but it's what I'm goin with today. >>806094910/10>>8061238Good effort but the arm is a bit distracting to me, otherwise I like the shading.
>>8061283short stack mouse rocks.is there more ? I fucked up the dress in this one wanted to give it a "perspective view" and now think it looks strange
>>8061172>With the revision I didn't want it to look like a human with big ears so I wasn't really using referencesThose are the guidelines for the head. You need to know them before you start breaking the rules. They are your anchors when you don't know how to resolve something.>I just want her to be pretty.I would remove the nostrils, soften the philtrum, make the mouth smaller, and make the neck thinner.> I'd also like to capture her squarish jaw without making her to masculine lookingTo get that effect, you need to define the gonial angle as obtuse so the jaw doesn't look as thick and the curvature becomes softer.but I think this is as far as I can help you. Next time, have at least frontal and side view references, and share your work in a quad view screenshot with front, side, back, and top views.>>8061247this is great! i like it.
>>8061247really cute, cool perspective too
>>8061295>why did you think thatI've read somewhere that stars can't be seen in space. But it seems that only happens depeding on the lighting conditions.
I cant draw faces... :(
>>8061287Thank you! Not yet, but I hope to make more of her. Big fan of the tired look you're giving your subjects, extremely aesthetic
>>8060129>>8060112thankssmooth lines!
Cant portray motion for shit. Eroticism still not achieved. Still can't properly make figs from imagination, everything still looks 2d. I have noticed I got better at drawing hair, so thats a plus ig.Used myself as a reference for the sideprofile(probably why theres such a disconnect between the neck and the rest of the body)and imagination for everything else. I've been practicing construction but I didn't even think abt using it, wtf is wrong with me>>8060905I guess so, thats pretty interesting. I don't have ADHD though; maybe im just retarded?
I CANT FUCKING DRAW. I AM FUCKING PERMABEG
>>8061348you just dont have enough information about when and why to use some techniques, ideas, concepts, etc. so if i say "stop drawing lines, draw the action", or "stop drawing contours, draw volume/mass", that might not make any sense to you because you might need more information to actually see why you must do these things, the problem is that although i can give you that information you might still not understand why or when to use it, and thats because they are simple words, you need to experience it, think about it. a good example would be Glenn Vilppu's videos where he shows and talks about feeling the form, even though he is showing you to the best of his ability what he means you might still not understand the point, the same for Mike Mattesi, Steve Huston, Michael Hampton, etc. and for all of them and me included there is something they cant teach you, and thats the real "meaning" they and i give to an idea, concept, technique, etc. because there are implicit aspects that they would never share or simply they are not even able to put into words. so in conclusion, words cannot communicate the full spectrum of what someone is trying to express. keep drawing, thats all i can say.
>>8061172but bro, thats simple plain anime style, search for some references on profile views of some manga/anime characters and lerp mentally and in your canvas (draw) between your picrel and the profile view, that way you are not relying on just memory, you are familiarizing with the model, with the common landmarks (points/areas that stay more or less consistent across different styles and refs), etc...
>>8061269do a deep research on this topic "greebling"...
this is Tahya, say something nice to her
redraw of old meme
been stuck on this pose for the past 2 days, very fun
HELP MEE I CANT DRAWW IT HURTS
>>8061433Like you could pull it off
>>8061381Heh. I forgot there was a term for that. My first attempt had even less details than that one. I'm still not great at filling things with details. And that's a very important skill if you're drawing certain subjects.
>>8061472neither did i, but it looks like an important term to keep in mind or as a sidenote. for example, my drawing (>>8061456) can benefit from it by increasing the amount of detail in the clothing, for the skin im yet to discover a way to correlate the term with it. btw, the term itself is akin to the "big, medium, small" concept for drawing/design. this man (>>8060334) can also benefit from this concept, since he is into mecha stuff increasing the amount of detail and refining his lineart should give him good results.
creature
>>8061482kino (as per usual)
I see there are some mecha rod. What exactly do you learn?
pyss
>>8060010pillow creture >>8061456sexe>>8061493nice
>>8061421Cute.
warm up sketch
I will share this so you can laugh with me.I didn't know how to draw the subtle perspective difference, so I tried exaggerating it, and I drew absolute shit.
I like this lil guy
>>8061567i assume you traced the first one?
>>8061497
>>8061576No, but I did superimpose to compare and correct any mistakes. The only mistake I made was the width: I drew the torso wider than the reference.
Am i an artist yet?
>>8061581so good
>>8061581nice
>>8061247you'd long be working for Rockstar if only your lines would connect
>>8061629ill try to do the lineart for that later
