Oh damn. I did something like that, but then I used my fingers to smudge it. No smudging, I'll keep that in mind.

>>1478671
Thanks dude.

>>1478675
oh jeez
why would you take a drink from van gogh
he probably got it from those two damn teenagers down the road.

I tried drawing a person. I think I'm getting better about the legs thing...*draws more persons*

Three birds, one brick! Welcome to the party.

>A new, rather badly drawn, challenger appears.
Guess I'm late to the party. I strangely feel like someone is here to greet me..

Yeaah, I'm a beginner, as you could guess. Still learning the basics of drawing. But I really wanted to join you guys, so I did something fast.

>>1478609
I'm glad I could be helpful!
Studying anatomy will probably be helpful for that, yeah. You really have to pay attention to limbs to be able to describe them with more than just cylinders.
I'm still behind on a lot of that because I just use what I can examine in myself *shuts up and picks up Betty Edwards*

Everytime i try to meditate, this nightmare haunt my mind

That was fun

You're right, I screwed up on the forearm; I thought I remembered there being a relationship but I was wrong.
Actually I have no idea what I was thinking when I drew that part, it was almost midnight. Thank you for correcting me before I followed my own advice!
I was careful to try and keep it from being dangerous by including the double warnings to check proportions in the mirror, because I know my measurements and drawings and drawings aren't perfect; I want to be as helpful as possible without being misleading.

Jesus, that's lovely.
I tried making a comic of the encounter with the boy dancer but I didn't spend enough time on it and everything looks wonky.

I think I'll redo my still life now.

>>1478314
You're welcome!
>>1478315
Usually I just type the entire explanation, and this time I tried drawing it to save time and it backfired. Such is life.
>>1478327
Agreed. I try my best not to get angry on this board because then nothing gets learned.

>>1477404
I want to improve my storytelling skills as well so I'm gonna attempt to make an on-the-go webcomic out of this...

I admit that I tend to draw them too long, but the main point with the picture was to find other points to measure limbs against so it wasn't just guesswork, not to provide a perfect reference to draw from.
>>1478260
I openly admitted that a few things were off, the guide was just to point out a few relationships between limbs, and that proportions should be double checked with a mirror. I know I don't know everything about the subject, I was merely trying to be helpful.

Thank you for correcting me though. I really need to put more thought into the legs from now on.

>>1478240
A glance, but not much else. I'm reading like fifteen different things right now and I've been busy. I know the drawings suck because I made them quickly, but I think the proportions are still correct, with a couple less points than that picture.
her hips look kind of terrifying though.

>>1478225
Is that a compliment? ovo

And a crappy little visual of the knees and ankles thing.
But seriously, check these things in the mirror and tweak them based on what you see. You should never have to question what a human looks like, because you are one! Life is convenient like that :)

The elbows reach down to the waist, right at/below the ribs; The fingertips reach to about the middle of the thigh.
See those points on the legs? Those show how far the joints in your legs bend to, or which areas are the same lengths. If you sit with your knees pulled to your chest, your knees get parallel with your sternum (but don't quite touch) and your heels are level with your ass (which is as high as they go if you kick them backwards).
Heed the note to the side. No human is twelve heads tall. Do some measurements based on your own judgement.

The two parts of your arm don't match eachother very well, but they fit your head perfectly!
(Think about this proportion and also the width of your shoulders to keep your head sizes in check!)

>>1478169
>>1478213
The lengths of the upper arm and forearm don't match up well. You can /almost/ grip your shoulder with your hand. Almost.

>>1478169

I had to divide my picture into many portions, so pardon that.
Foreword: The anatomy and proportions actually really suck but the red lines are meant to get the point across.
Other foreword: Check everything in the mirror because seriously I was sloppy as hell.
Size and placement of the ear determines size and placement of the browline and septum. They're the same size.

I have advice on all of these!
When shading in coloured pencils, work from lightest to darkest, and layer different colours to achieve the right tones. I wouldn't advise shading with black; Always try to use a darker version of the main colour or one similar to it. For instance, in my first drawing I coloured the skin with things like ivory, pink, and yellow, but none of those are very dark so I shaded with brown. For the apple you could use dark reds, greens, browns, and oranges, depending on the surrounding colours.

Bodily proportions all affect eachother and it actually gets really lengthy to explain so I'm just going to wait til I'm done eating and make a graphic, but proportions are a specialty of mine because I do my studying in the mirror.

You might actually have to clarify your last question a bit, I'm sorry.

i don't wanna eat my watermelon anymore...

>>1477984
I know.
...I think the way you phrased your question made me confused.
