Update.

Here's another character creation i'm trying to do. Is the pose Ok?

>>1494507
Sadly no, but still amazing, at least to me.
btw it's called Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titans)

Just finished. Guess what i'm watching. ^-^

Third; I've considered freelance graphic design to supplement an unsure income (like graphic novels). I'd kind of like a good idea of what that's like, how I would get started, how often-or-not-often suicide will be contemplated... Anecdotes?

If you really need straight lines for a building, you are allowed to use a ruler. And I've actually found very little need for a 'perfect' circle.
If it helps, I can't draw a very good circle with one line. I have to make a few circular motions until I get a circular buildup of lines. You might find it helpful to try that.

But yeah, it's construction. Your lines don't need to be perfect, just confident (and in the right general direction). You should still keep practicing them of course, but don't stress so much over the lines that you don't draw any forms.

I'd say colour theory, line techniques, and drawing from reference (because I think a lot of people are going to just show you pictures they want).
You should get the best grasp you can on everything of course, but those three seem like the 100% must haves.
To become a better artist in general, you have to work on everything just about equally. Line, form, value, composition, anatomy...

/Shit/, I need more of this.
Their art style looks to me like a mix of Shunpei, Hikaru Nakano, and Maniacal Artist.
Aka, fucking cool. Thanks for showing it!

are you the one who posted this?

Whichever you're most comfortable with. The more H it is, the harder the lead is, and the lines will come out much lighter. The more B is is, the softer the lead, and the darker it writes. Most people like using and HB, which is right about the middle and is pretty versatile.
I personally like using a 2H or so for sketching and a 4B for the lines. Experiment and find your favorite, or if you can't afford a full set then just go ahead and use HB (well if you don't have a set then you shouldn't get a full set anyway because you really don't need them all).

Thanks guys, it's taking a stupidly long time to do the next couple of pages but for now I guess I'll just post the studies I've done;;;

It looks much better uvu Also, if you blend in strokes perpendicular to the lines you can hide them better.

Well then, worry less about drawing lightly and more about drawing darker in the dark spots! In fact, you /definitely/ need to draw darker in the dark spots! Also, if you use a piece of tissue paper or a blending stump you can turn the lines into softer gradient shading, so then you don't have to worry about the lines being light, just the area. Blending stumps made shading light features a lot easier for me.

grey scale grapes that i've got bored of - still life

i think i may be working on too big of a canvas,
i use around a 5000x5000 pixels 300res, like a sketch book - any advice?
