I feel that L and R is primarily pseudoscience.
Anyway my drawings/sketches are much worse than my paintings. This is partly because I am drawing on an Intuos S which is quite cramping and partly because I lack enthusiasm when it comes to doing clean lined sketches. Pic related is one that recently, but as you can imagine a drawing that I spend half an hour on is going to come out looking at lot better than those 1 minute to 2 minute shitfests on top of carpal tunnel and on top of time pressures. Some days I can draw well and other days I draw terribly.

I learned rendering from doing master studies. To be absolutely precise, I did like two master studies recently and like 3 photostudies and randomly improved a shitload, for no particular reason, so my average art ability is probably going to drop for a few weeks to troll me. I collect art from my favourite anime artists on pixiv and classical paintings on /ic/ and refer to those when I am doing original drawings.

I have watched videos by this guy and that meme guy I forgot his name (who was apparently formerly a shoplifter or something?)

I think rendering is mostly observation.

I have been on /beg/ since 2015. I mostly practiced by sketching, every /beg/ thread that I am in, the practice poses and heads posted. Back in 2015 you often saw people like Firez posting so that basically gave me a ruler for how shit I was compared to other artists. Communal drawing is a really good tool for picking out inadequacies, in my opinion, and although I rarely posted what I drew I looked at where I went wrong and tried to correct it - 99% of the time I was unsuccessful.

Typically I draw about 52 times a year including /beg/ shit, however this year I am drawing more abt 72+ so far. I would improve more with more work ethic.

Blatant abuse of the rotate tool to spot inconsistencies
