/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Hey /beg/, been working on fun with a pencil for a while, and I have a bunch of questions you could help me with:


1. What's a good way to practice proportions? (I've been measuring with the pencil method so far, but it's not part of the book)

2. How can you stop thinking with symbols after you construct a humanoid? (I find it really distracting when just trying to draw what I see)


3. Do you have any general advice you feel isn't mentioned enough for /beg/s like me? I'd be happy to listen.

And thank you so far for the help, really appreciate it!
