Nah, I doubt he looked like that.

I've never really tried drawing from imagination. Do I have to get good at copying first?

>>3037152
You have to learn how the things you draw look. So yes, either get good at copying, or spend a lot of time observing and studying. You see humans everyday irl, in movies, in porn etc, so it's easier with them, but drawing animals from imagination is way harder, and really nobody can draw a decent cat on the first attempt without drawing them from nature/reference first, except maybe a felinologist.

>>3037179
Well I just tried. I should give up forever, right? This is fucking terrible.

>>3037193
Try drawing the body without the clothes first, and try to imagine what it actually looks like, what form does every part have. But you probably still find it very difficult, because you don't know the human body that well, so practice with a reference.

Also, learn trigger discipline, or /k/ will hunt you down.

What to do when your gf says she needs space from you and time to think, also crit please

>>3037235
I know it's part of your draw style but the chin is still fucking weird
It's not really clear where the light is coming from
The face should be thinner near the left eye
Overall it's pretty good
And for the first question ask /adv/

>>3037242
What is draw style?
But also thanks for the crit. I'll be sure to ask /adv/ but that board is really slow at times. Thanks tho

This

give her what she wants and prepare to move on. if there is doubt on her part there will be more.

>>3037248
it reminds me of a kind of comics style i'd say :
sharp lines, the way to shade, unfinished, etc

>>3037251
>doubt on her part there will be more
Explain please
>>3037252
Thanks for explaining that, in your opinion should I start on gesture next or boxes?

I've been watching Alphonso Dunn and he says to crank out thousands of these mannequins to get proportions down. Is there any better way of practicing proportions?

Whenever I try to draw I seize up with fear of how bad it's going to turn out, no matter what I want to do. How do I get over this feeling and just draw?

Hey /beg/, I'm having issues creating a sense of depth and scale in my sea monster painting. Can anyone provide any help?

>>3037502
ps the compression killed my values it's not actually that bad

>>3037502
It took me a minute to realize that the moster has multiple eyes, and not just goofy like that.

>>3037508
Ha, Like a flounder! I cannot unsee that now lol

>>3035154
Is on sale for $25

>>3037502
This is going to sound really vague, but thats because I have to go to work soon. But remember this, Value can be used to imitate depth, so push your darks and your lights in the right areas and the image will immediately pop off the screen.

>>3037193
Drawing and art in general is a long and arduous process, you have to find patience within yourself to steadily improve every day or you will never get good.

>>3035665
You have good sense of what the human form SHOULD be. But, you need to draw what is there rather than what you think should be there. The size of the eyes to the right is far too large, and your head shape is not the same as the pictures. There is good structure, but I would suggest learning how to draw from observation.

>>3035354
I like it. Just clean it up more.

>>3035508
oh fuck im hard

>>3036923
bleach your fucking eyes

>>3036891
>different

>>3035402
if your line of sight is parallel to the ground plane, your verticals will all be perfectly vertical. this will get you by in most cases - three point is if you're drawing something so tall that the vertical lines converge

your block is crooked because your third point is not directly vertical from your intersection

>>3035594
use fewer layers, process is good overall though
around :13 take a step back and compare your construction to your reference. this is the best place to make drastic changes. take a look at it and see how far off your angles/gesture are
keep at it!!

I've been drawing seriously for about 5 months. Is this good progress? I wasn't absolute garbage when I started, but I think I'm better now. Source image: http://img.20mn.fr/7fN2lCslQEamo3HhK3NJOQ/2048x1536-fit_acteur-donald-glover-droite-createur-serie-fx-atlanta.jpg

>>3037687
also I;m sorry about the shit image quality, my scanner sucks. The values aren't quite that intense in real life.

>>3037687

Not really imo. You're still symbol drawing and your work is very sloppy. If you take some time to be more careful in your work, you will see improvement. Work on your measurements, check the angle relationships and be very precise. Then when you're shading, don't chicken scratch. Do it as cleanly as you can.

Last, pick a better reference picture to draw. Don't choose pictures that are small and blurry.

>>3037687
You have a basic understanding on how faces work, but I feel like you try to cheat things you can't really draw (the ear for exemple), don't do that.

(are you french btw? ce serait plus simple pour expliquer)

>>3037140
wtf is wrong with her eyes

>>3037701
the shading thing was actually pretty stupid, because I tried to make it stylized and realized it was stupid so I just went back over it and totally fucked it up. What parts of the fave are still symbol drawing? Another anon pointed out the ear but more specific critique would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

>>3037705
unfortunately, no. But I do live in an extremely french area, so that makes sense.

If I wanted to make a comic and also have it be able to be read online how would I go about that? Like how comics and manga which are normally just physical copies are found on batoto, how do you get them online? Would you have to put it through a copier to upload the image online or something?

>>3035122
I almost forgot his second hand

>>3035602

3 years?! Do you read any book or video lessons? Vilppu? Hampton?

>>3037706
i dont know man. i fucked up

>>3037711
Your pattern distribution is too linear, try to vary how the shirt folds
The ear is wrong, even simplified it shouldn't look like that
There should be a mouth or at least a line under that moustache
Try to learn how a shirt looks around a neck and then simplify it, because here it just looks like a bunch on lines to me

Sorry if it sounds harsh but i really like your drawing however, very efficient

>>3037795
thanks a lot, something like this?

>>3037842
still some repeating patterns but yeah it looks a lot better!

>>3037710
>What parts of the fave are still symbol drawing?
Pretty much everything but you're beginning to learn. Still needs work though. Look closely at the lips for example and notice the difference in shape between yours and the reference. You drew a symbolic shape of the lips.

Don't stylize or use cross-hatching just yet. First learn to shade softly and make something look realistic. Then simplifying your shading will make sense later on.

>spewing the symbol meme in /beg/
neck yourself

Holy shit, a person giving useful information instead of meme-ing the usual "Read Loomis/Sticky"
I know Loomis and the sticky are pretty useful but it is actually encouraging seeing this kind of advices instead of just meme-ing. Not that i would look for encouragement in 4chan tho

>>3037012
I'm reading keys to drawing, this is what I did for the exercise. I thought I was trying to learn the fundamentals :(

>>3037502
You have a dark character in a dark background. Maybe make one of them light to stand out?
