Is this skill level attainable with 4 - 5 years of self taught practice from a legit high /beg/ point or am I just delusional?
>>8061880>from a legit high /beg/PYW>Is this skill level attainable with 4 - 5 years of self taught practiceIts attainable in 2-3 years of moderate practice 1-2 years if you got a teacher and practice every day.
>>8061882sketch for a commission I did rn
>>8061882thisalso i wonder why she looks so tired, she looks very fit
>>8061885this is pretty good, you just need to keep practising anatomy, try to do the poses you draw after drawing them see what matches and what doesn't, you will notice if the pose is awkward cause it will be hard to do, this is real for most normal poses, doesn't matter your body type, even with more complex or wild poses you can immitate some parts of the body like the hands, i would say apart from anatomy keep in mind shapes, like, the silhouette of your drawing, seems pretty awkward, on the legs especially, i'm not sure if it's two legs, one or a dress, try to use more defined shapes
Ask the artist for how long they have been drawing.
>>8061897that has nothing to do with the speed at which you or me or him learn
>>80618854-5 years of consistent steady effort is a very long time. I think you'd be able to reach it within 1-2 years at your level if you studied lighting, perspective and solid drawing - three-dimensional drawing essentially.The artist in the OP clearly understands form at a high level so if you want to reach their level, studying how different geometrics are lit and how they interlock with other shapes, how they change according to different viewpoints will very important.
>>8061885Start drawing figures and characters in perspective. That's all you really need to "learn". To achieve what you want it really should take 1 year of self taught.You're neck is a little short I don't like the wrist and forearm. So yeah you are high /beg/ - low /int/ depending how how your rendering is but you're really closer than you think you are for what you watch to be drawing like. Look at the OP pic, do you not see the ground? Do you not see the tiles show the perspective lines? Look at the fence? Look at the shoulder line and compare it to the ground line? They don't perfectly line up (obviously) but you can reference the 3D space in the image and the "grid". Most perspective artists always tend to leave a few lines (especially on teh ground) that shows their grid. Once you start noticing, you start seeing it everywhere. Good luck.Also looking at it now, the pink girl is not exactly perfectly lined up with the perspective either but it could have been modified to show her more composition wise too.
>>8061905>>8061903Thank you guys, right now I'm focusing on doing only drawabox fundamentals-wise (planning to stop at lesson 3 and switch to framed perspective in terms of understanding 3d space) since I have semi-limited time for drawing due to uni (I basically don't do much outside of studying and drawing as of recent), but figure drawing and anatomy are things I really strive to get to soon enough. Here's more Eigaka
>>8061927I wouldn't do drawabox
>>8061927Please do not do drawbox. You are going to kill your drive.Watch this video and just copy this guy and steal this exercise. Just practice drawing figures in persective. You can add more figures in the background or boxes, and work your way up into cars, buildings etc.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76B_qr_plugPlease do not do drawbox. You should be good enough to able to just see this and understand how to use perspective quite easily. Perspective are just guidelines.
>>8061996Seconding this. Industry pros don't use drawabox, they recommend to grind lots of shapes, do lots of gesture studies, and constantly copy new things. Do meaningful tracing (take a ref and break it down into simple shapes from biggest to smallest). If you really want to improve at perspective so badly, draw your immediate surroundings:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzg8-njCIm8&t=2s
>>8061897That's dumb, most of those guys have been drawing since kids. That doesn't mean it actually takes 15+ years to learn itKids spend years doing unstructured and repetitive drawings for fun, it isn't comparable with adult focused practice
>>8061880less. You could learn to draw like that in months
Less. You could learn to draw like that in weeks. I myself learnt to draw like that in days. No I won't post my work but I'm /pro/ I pinky promise
>>8061903Don't give the guy false hopes. This board is full of people that stagnated for many years at OP's skill level or even worse. Unfortunately, in art practice doesn't guarantee improvement
>>8062409Less. You could learn to proompt like that in weeks. I myself learnt to prooompt like that in days. No I will NOT REDEEM I'm /pro/ I pinky promise
>>8062412Practice is more important for beginners. After intermediary it's just maintenance, you need to push yourself to get better If you don't like anime style force yourself to make it, if you don't like detailed motors force yourself to make it, if you don't like realism force yourself to make it. And of course, always with feedback (be it internal or external)If you aren't struggling it's likely you aren't learning
>it's another Gabe thread
>>8062415Copying early Disney style is a lot more productive than copying anime to a beginner, all anime is derivative of Tezuka which is derivative of Disney after-all.
>>8061885FUCK OFF GABE
>>8062550That's not gabe.
>>8063222sorry I don't know his new tranny name
I depends of your level of retardation. I see that you like japanese stuff and shit. You're just on your way. Probably by 5 months you got it.
There is now answer. Could you do it in 4-5 years? Maybe. Could you do it in one year? Maybe. It's literally impossible to say with any certainty. Some things just "click" for some people (talent), and everybody does indeed have different skill ceilings. You might find yourself improving rapidly for a while, sky seeming to be the limit, then a few years later look back and see that you haven't really improved at all, in fact you might even see areas where your skill has regressed. Some people can go from prebeg to pro in a couple years. Some hit high beg and just stay there. Some hit int and stay there. Art isn't inherently special, it's a combination of talent and effort, with everybody having a limit, and sometimes that limit might not be as high as they want, and/or the effort required for them to hit that limit might be much greater than they can commit in any reasonable amount of time. Of course keep drawing and striving, but who knows how long it might take you to reach a certain technical skill level, and even if you do reach a comparable skill, that doesn't mean that your art will necessarily have the same inherent appeal as your benchmark artist/piece.
>>8063472Gabe genuinely does not come on this board anymore, it's been some larper for awhile now.You can see their art on their twitter hikaripaladin. The one actual thread from them was months ago with a page of their comic, every other case is just some larper obsessed with trying to make another twitter artist a meme.
