I have no idea why the thread before someone made this one I made was deleted, but okay.

Nude reference and concept for a character.

Trying to start coloring, apologies for the bad scanning job, it's still in my porn sketchbook so I had to reposition it to show the left figure. Don't know if I should replace my scanner for a bigger one.

Worked on right figure last night, spent today doing the right. Also, the sclera on the right are supposed to be colored in red, though I wish it came out less muddy.

>>1634680
your uniform shading is flattening your masses. there is no need to fill the entire form with value.

>>1634680
your uniform shading is flattening your masses. there is no need to fill the entire form with value. the faces are riddled with symbols

>>1634683
Well, her skin is supposed to have a grey complexion, so that's why it's all shaded in, but how can I make it less flat?

Also, the faces aren't supposed to be uber realistic if that's what you mean by "symbols", trying to develop a style where it's 90% realistic and 10% cartoony.

>inb4 muh style.

>>1634684
>how can I make it less flat
'vary' as in describe the forms via the direction and weight of the hatching. you can have the linework flow along the forms, or you can hatch uniformly but rely on value variation to define your forms (this is more difficult)

>>1634684
you see how the lines wrap around the hand? Do that

>>1634688
oops

Please rate- I apologize my scanner is crap, but this is the best I could do

>>1634657

p-please be gentle, and give your honest thoughts

sorry about the lined paper.

>>1635312

last one

Just drew this banana and I think it's pretty good.
Check it out or bid on it.

>>1635317
still a long way to go.....

>>1635314
the last one is probably the best, if you practice more you can definitely have success to some degree, as its really similar in the cartoony style that alot of cartoons are now made in, as far I noticed, if this informal, I'm really interested in your final works with such style
Definitely needs refinement, but you're on a good path- Good Luck!

>>1635334
Thanks for the critique!

>>1635391
You. Toned-paper anon.

WHY do you use a dozen lines where one would suffice? Your stuff mostly looks pretty nice and I see you're getting a good grasp on form and value. But I have a niggling suspicion your scribbly lines are masking some deficiency.

>>1635317
>Thinking somebody would actually pay for that

Critique on the shading?
Not finished btw.

>>1635557
More contrast, more variation in tone and linework

>>1635557
Use a softer pencil. Line economy, man! That hair is horrible.

Her ribs shouldn't be that apparent. Your shading is currently being screwed over by the weight of your linework; using a softer pencil and using fewer lines to describe contours will help solve that.

>>1635565
What is line economy?

>>1635600
using less lines to depict a form.

also dat anatomy

really practiced to try to get good proportion today this is best result :/ but proportion is more consistant now

I wonder if I should rub a kneaded over the trees to push em away a bit, and darken up the foreground

Tear it apart

My daugy. What you's think? I need to lean heaver on the pencil, my drawings are waaay to light.

>>1635687
i like the expression of the hunted guys face in the front

>>1635697
More from the daug man

>>1635687
hey bg, what range of pencils are you using

>>1635708
for that illustration, all kinds. I think 2h, 3b, 6b.. For portraits, usually like 2h, 6b, woodless

Inspired by berserk.

>>1635759
oftimes your value range is too uniform, use value to guide viewers eye and establish depth

My stomach hurts

hey guys so its been around 1wk since i came here and ive learnt a lot! i think ive made a lot of progress, i couldnt make anything like this before :D

onwards and upwards! im filling this sketchbook faster than ever before, bought 2 more today :D

>>1635884
nice line weights for a beginner, it's going to take a while for you to get good at figures though.

>>1635788
I can see how the values are confusing, but I don't know how to remedy it this far in. I should have figured this out during thumbnails, but I had only done the comp then moved on for some reason.

>>1636647
hey,, how can i get like you?

>>1635884 is me, did you do loomis?

>>1636647
>>1636647
Love your shading/value control

>>1636680
Not other anon but...
Loomis for planes
Vilpuu for crosshatching

>>1635283
Could be a nice tattoo,
But it should be a digital artwork.
>>1635290
Reminds me of JC Penny style
If you are going that direction.
>>1635312

Good job on the Villpu man
>>1635664
Pen and ink eh?
tough
>>1635672
Looks alright
>>1635686
Loving this one
>>1635691
I see you learned from villpu and now try loomis.
Also Livestreams and stuff.

>>1635884
Nice western style, but needs some more chisel.

>>1636765
thanks, i got vilppu downloaded so i will progress to it next, i feel cross hatch more visually pleaseing

Just a gesture, Im feeling more confident with my contours now

>>1634657
any advice for me?

>>1636816
Don't just draw hair all jaggy like that, imagine how it would actually lay on the pillow. Think of the locks like ribbons.

>>1636816
Yep.
The sticky.
Im serrious

>>1636820
'the sticky'?
>>1636822
okay thank you, it was a bit of a hack job, quickly threw in a background, I'll take it under advisement though

>>1636826
Yes, the sticky that you see every time you come to this board. The one that's always at the top of the page, that literally says it is full of resources to help you.

>>1636826
Wow.

>>1636680
I still am thinking of the vilppu vids I watched last may. loomis is more like a supplement

>>1636690
thanks, I'm trying to get my drawing skill up to where my rendering is at.
it's going slowly I'd say

ugh .. my general drawing skill getting better but still gesture practice im really struggling with, its same level as day 1 :(

Can anyone advice me how to improve this? im doing 2 minute gesture and trying to get cleaner lines but they are always off :/

>>1636971

>Ooh baby you lay there while I comb your breast hair

>>1637004
It looks like you're too fixated on contours, rather than the movement of the figure.

Gesture is just a base for you to construct the important aspects on top of, so don't worry about the appeal of the figure in it's early stages.

>>1637005
lol'd

Sketch from work.

>>1637021
very nice

jonah hill's face makes me laugh.

>>1637021
this is cool. Im amazed because i can draw curvy cartoony faces only...badly.

People of your level are not supposed to be here. Leave this place at once!

what do you think?

>>1637078
Cool. Looks extremely static though. You need to stop drawing the body thinking of it as 2d lines. Think of it as a 3d object.

>As alway ->Loomis

Is breast hair not "in"?
>Shit

>>1637005

Dawugy guy here, thanks bro, here have a half finished lizard

>>1637021
Nice fucking work man, gimme more

>>1634657
rate my gestures,

>>1637317

>>1637004
Maybe extend your time..
So you can really 'feel' the form

>>1637317
>>1637318
Looks like you get the freedom part.
Now just slow down and foucus until you are ready to carve it in

>>1637318
they art bad. they have no proper movement through the torso/shoulders particularly.

i feel like perhaps if you took up dancing or a sport or something you'd be more able to register that torque which you seem to of missed.

>>1637353
>took up
not other anon but It doesnt seem too hurt.

Or you could just look up gymnastics on youtube with girls doing such lewd things in tights

>>1637356
the difference, i feel, with actually dancing or whatever and watching people dance is you can actually feel the torque of your own muscles. then when you watch people dance later you have a better understanding of the forces, and you can emphasis/exaggerate them in your work.

i wouldn't go around to everyone and say 'you must dance to draw!' it just seems as though this particular fellow doesn't 'feel' [vilppu style] the forces in the torso.

if he was just one of those 'arms connected to a granite block' types i wouldn't of mentioned it. but as he does squash and stretch the torso it would pay him[or her i guess] to do it right instead of just following the line.

..hm sorry for the long passage i felt a bit guilty for starting 'they art bad' where i meant 'they are bad' and i didn't even mean that. [sorry if more typos]

>>1637078
Think about economy of the line, try to draw with single lines, not loads overlapped on top of each other

I drew this after seeing it in a thread. I was gonna replicate it so I could have it, but the thread got pruned, so... Heres my interpretation of it.

Tell what you guys think of it.

>>1637381
I remember the image, that is a pretty decent representation of it!

>>1637395
Looks ok.
Coudnt tell you about value.
Still life is the answer.
not that its bad, but i see some room for improvement

If it is, it's really annoying that they can draw trees so beautifully but their figures lack that completely.

>>1637422

hi me again, i tried to do my first value study but failed hard

i think i went too dark value to fast :/ any adivce?

And if you switch it sideways, it becomes a helmet.

How are these bodies? Trying to force myself to draw quicker and without so much detail. Long way to go.

>>1638331
that skin looks fab from a distance

>>1638333
>>1638333
Thanks, I'm guilty of shading way too much so I didn't put too much time into it.
Also another recent sketch.

>>1638327
Your linework and shading are flattening your masses

>>1638336
if you want to stop yourself shading you should get a black pastel pencil, as the shading doesn't look too good but the lines rape graphite.

but as you like shading you might want to get a set of watercolours, your drawings seem small, and watercolour washes [ relatively dry washes, which seems a bit paradoxical but ain't] are well suited to quickly add some nice tones to that sort of thing.

>>1638347
Thanks, I've been meaning to work with both pastels and watercolour actually, just haven't had the time/resources. I'll definitely give it a try once i feel a little more confident.

>>1638346
how do i fix it?

>>1638349
You can use line weight in your outlines to push and pull your forms. You can sketch and shade some linked primitives to reinforce 3d thinking.

Do I study vilpuu or loomis for gestures? I was told I'm focusing to much on contour.

Some of you guys have some wonderful sketchbooks, I should work harder..

>>1638425
Gestures are something you have to learn on your own, by doing them a lot. Vilppu has a couple vids about it. I'm not even sure if loomis says a damn thing about gestures. His drawings are stiff anyways.

try doing gestures with a big charcoal stick, or on its flat side so you can get used to thinking of the masses rather then contour. using finer media like pens and pencils make you want to do outlines, which isn't great for learning gesture

>>1638425
Villpu does do gesture.

BUT
>ProkoTV
does it simple

>>1638677

I'm trying vilpuus approach now and it's really hard, your strokes need immense confidence or the flow it's ruined within a stroke or two. not only that but compared to contours it doesn't feel presentable as an amateur, it just looks garbage if you leave it looking like a stick man

>>1638697
Ill be honest,
the way i got good, was by watching livestreams and talking with the artists there.
Some of them help, some of them don't.

And then i came back to Villpu and Loomis.
But Proko is always good

>>1638702

What does proko do different to vilppu? isn't his pay only tutorials?

>>1638704
Nope.
He has the meat of the lessons there on youtube.

The payment is just for additional figures and models.

>>1638775
>>1638795
imagin or ref?

>>1638811
word on the street is all his work is either from life or non-referenced.

>>1638814
Well no shit

>>1638044
work on proportions before values.

in the case of your values though don't be afraid to contrast your values more i know this might be considered "cheating" but if you have a colour photo try converting it to black and white and playing with the contrast just to see how different values work

can't wait to git gud you guys are really inspiring

>>1639940
did you use a vanishing point when drawing this?

No,why?

>>1639919
I would stay away from smudging to achieve value, it is more difficult than hatching

once you master hatching you may smudge but you wont want to

>>1639989
It is more time consuming than hard for me

>>1639990
how do i put this lightly, ahem; it looks like ass your forms dont read and your values are shit and arbitrary

if it takes a long time for this result i would rethink my approach

>>1639989
that's charcoal

>>1640001
are you implying you didnt smudge?

>>1640001
on your next study simplify the values to 2 or 3 and block them in keeping in mind the forms they are describing

ps: stop being a faggot

>>1640001
on your next study simplify the values to 2 or 3 and block them in keeping in mind the forms they are describing

if you are using charcoal build up your values by overlaying layers of strokes. use direction to help describe form

ps: stop being a faggot

>>1640004
no ,i'm not the person who posted it. but it's charcoal [or conte maybe].. and obviously hatching isn't the default for charcoal.

the beautiful thing about charcoal is that you can do whatever you want with it, and it's good to experiment. smudging can be used well. hatching is actually harder than smudging to do well with softer charcoal.

i agree it wasn't successful here but, 'don't smudge' is the wrong response, i think 'look at how other artists use smudging and other mark making techniques.'..or..this is fine:
>>1639992 so good job if that was you.

and finally, here is an example of a charcoal drawing with smudging used well which is complimented by other techniques.

>>1640020
the point is if you cannot value you shouldnt smudge

you cannot value

instead of defending your garbage you should be drawing

>>1639919
i am the guy who drew this

>>1639990
>>1640001
>>1640020
this guy is not me its some other guy

>>1640022
>>1640017
>>1639992
>>1639989
fair enough.
values = bad
hatching > smudging
i did smudge the shit out of that drawing and i do agree the values are quite off, it's definatly something i need to work on

i have never tried hatching to achieve values before in a sketch so i can't comment on its merits so ill suffice to say that ill look into it as a technique.

as for the drawing itself its about 90% pencil and only for some parts of the hair did i use charcoal.

thanks for your response

>>1640022
again different person. my point is that you were wrong. charcoal =/= graphite. smudging can be the easiest way to make lighter tones with charcoal.

instead of trying to enforce rules you don't understand you should be drawing. see how that can go both ways? that's why it's called an irrelevancy.

now be more civil, this is a sketch book thread, not a filthy draw thread.

>>1640039
ok well that should be hatching then lol :p

anyway do you need tips on value? we have tips on value, tons of em.

>>1640043
that would be great i've just managed to break away from symbol drawing (i think) so any tips would be appreciated

>>1640044
it's a simple kind of system.

there are tones, which are separated by steps.and also transitions.

tones are the values, steps are the gaps between.

in good paintings/drawings the steps are usually equal.

usually for a drawing people will use a pretty simple arrangement.

the simplest is 1 highlight, 1 midtone and one shadow tone.

but most people use something more like 1 highlight, 2 midtones and 2 shadow tones.

a transition is the 'blending', the way one tone leads into another, it could be a hard transition or a smooth soft one etc. there are heaps of ways to do it. similar to edges. this is where you get the extra tones that control the subtle descriptions of the form, where something curves slowly around or changes at a sharp angle for instance.

um, and i think that's it basically. there are innumerable variations though obviously, and lots more advanced stuff, local value etc.

>>1640038
the easiest way to lay down a light value with charcoal is to lay down a light stroke or lighter array of strokes to build said value.

you can stfu now

>>1640039
you have potential, look into this advice from a previous post:

on your next study simplify the values to 2 or 3 and block them in keeping in mind the forms they are describing

if you are using charcoal build up your values by overlaying layers of strokes. use direction to help describe form

also this thread is relevant to the discussion:
>>1639301

>>1640058
not always, do you even draw?
i get this impression from you like you have some book of facts about drawing that you look stuff up in but you haven't actually ever done it.

>>1642725
Dude, you're really grinding out those faces. What do you draw, a couple pages a day?

>>1642725
there's a couple [many] places where you'd of been better off using a thinner or lighter line.

your values need a little bit more work, you do a good job of setting up a local value from face to face but then you only really use maybe 1 or 2 values and a highlight. if you could get more in there that would help a lot. might be tricky if you're working from photos though. you really want a much more subtle shift. i hate to say it but you might want to slow down, do fewer faces with more time spent layering the shading.

good drawing overall though.

>>1642724
excellent execution, i'd be mindful of color range and color temperature. Things are looking to rainbowy and all over the place. Picture 2 is looking better harmonically. Picture 1 is more interesting visually, but you should drop the contrast a bit, by covering some of that white.

>>1643425
you're drawing symbols. You need to learn to draw what you see. look into the difference between those two.

>>1643165
I'd have preferred it with more detail, but I think you've captured the essence of the subject very well.

>>1641992

neat acid trip drawing that makes 0 sense from any other perspective than "hey that looks neat!"

So first i tried to draw a girl i know and then tried to stylize her into a comic kawaii uguu character, since i do this for most of my friends. Is there an optimal way for this or something?

>>1643771
I liek

>>1643773
As you mentioned the boobs. Her neck is a bit streched. Some parts are well lit by the fire in her hands, but her body could have some better lighting

>>1643775
Lighting well done but her pose kinda itches me out. Her grip is way too loose and her left Leg is too short.

>>1643777

I saw what you guys said about my other favelas. I feel like there is still too much white maybe in this one. I wanted to communicate a certain mood

>>1645732
If you live there and your indoors drawing photographs instead of bitches on the beach I'm coming over to kick youre ass.
Then I'd go draw some bitches on the beach.

I admit to smudging, as obvious as it is. I still have a way to go with comfort and technique, but I feel like I'm getting a bit better with proportions and lighting.

>>1645910
Same dude, don't quite know for certain what the problem is with this one.

>>1645732
you are missing many key lines (where the awning meets the concrete) and your candles are on but arent casting light
why did you add stroke to the mountain instead of a darker value of color instead, looks lazy

I've lost focus somewhat on my studies, not sure what to work on anymore.

>>1643843
>implying art is anything other than "Hey that looks neat!"

Fucking christ, art is supposed to be exactly that. If somebody says "Hey that looks neat!" they are probably going to think about hanging it up on their wall, which in the end gives YOU money and puts YOUR name out there.

>>1646086
r u a kneegrow ?

>>1646195
Yeah

>>1646209
Hey man thanks for bringing some diversity to the board. Just draw what you find appealing. Whenever you lack inspiration, try doing studies of other people's art, like, copy their work that you like. I'm not saying claim it's your original drawing, but just do it for your own sake. Look through or start a folder of drawings or paintings that you find appealing, and just go to town trying to copy their technique. I find it really helps me develop a style that I personally enjoy, and also inspires me to draw other original works.

>>1646086
Create a concept for a piece that incorporates an imaginative idea and a lesson/reiteration of a lesson (ie: value, capturing likeness, capturing expression, gestural fluidity whatever). This will elevate it from being a study pushing you a few steps down the path to something thats not boring you.

Then I though "Hey, these aren't half bad for memorys..." (I should post more finished stuff like you guys...)

Another work drawing, a couple things are off that I didn't notice until I got home. I'll have to pay more attention next time.

>>1646543
Do you ever draw anything else than celebrities? You're pretty decent, so you should try drawing from imagination or at least something different than celebrities.

This is what I did today, what do you guys think?

>>1647446
pretty symbol drawing.

Sorry about bad picture quality .. taken with Shitty cell phone .. As the sketch book is to big for scanner. Feedback ?

>>1647411
although cartoony and amateurish, there are actually some strong elements here, mainly 2d stuff, good curves not a bad line etc. you have potential i think.

if you're new here just remember /ic/ is filled to the brim with frustrated losers, and their advice often comes from a place of malice and misinformation. basically if it's not a red-line, don't take it seriously.

>>1647454
really? i was kinda trying to avoid that look with all the shading

>>1647458
Thats pretty cute, i like it

Thank you :)

>>1647460

>>1647446
flat

>>1647487
Thanks for the input, i did some more shading and it looks better in my opinion.

>>1647454
Thanks, i also blended it a lot more to make it less symbol-ish

>>1647527
you have to watch where you put the mouth, for some reason there is a tendency to put it about half-way between the bottom of the chin and the nose. usually in reality it's much closer to the nose than that, but it moves up and down a lot depending on expression.

>>1647533
yeah, that has kinda been bothering me. i should have made the nose a bit longer. i will keep this in mind next time

Tried drawing Nathan fillion.

>3 finished
I accidentally ripped a hole in the paper under his chin trying to use the white pencil.

>>1647527
I don't think blending will make it less symbolish. Its about construction and linework, shading comes after. You have to draw shapes, not your idea of an eye or a mouth, like you're doing now.

>>1647582
i see, i just need more practice, i haven't been doing faces until recently... just so i know, what parts in specific look like i was drawing symbols? the eyes?

>>1647582
I always found it weird. On the one hand, you are being told to draw what you see, and not what you think you see (that's an eye, I know how to draw an eye), on the other hand, there are just so many eye tutorials. How should I approach those tutorials then?

I'm wrestling with hair.

Trying to figure out how motion affects form.

>>1647678
You don't. Please leave those deviantart tutorials alone and just practice on your own or with the help of actual art books.

>>1647678
i know what you mean... i think drawing symbols and drawing what you see can result in the exact same outcome, but drawing what you see can make it much easier to draw things in certain situations, like a strong angle for example. thats my opinion anyways

>>1647549
>Don't smudge, it looks shit and it's easier to learn good values by crosshatching and building up in layers

>>1635697
you've got the negative drawing down pretty well, like you said though don't be afraid to go darker.

>>1647679
i think the hair is pretty good, it looks like its in motion to me, if thats what you were going for. the shading on the chest is awkward though, too dark

>>1647527
flat and dark.

>>1647694
You fucking people. Have you never used a stump and a kneaded eraser? There is no comparison in value control.

>>1647709
I noticed, was using a 8b pencil towards the end, kinda forgot what I was doing.

>>1647527
if your symbol drawing, you have no idea about value and shouldn't be smudging.

>>1647928
it's a piece of shit, draw another 50 hours and get back to us

How's this hand?

Hand

>>1647977
>>1647979
looks good. any more works to show?

>>1647992
These are all for my attempt to get into Sheridan's animation program.

>>1648043
vary your line weight, your linework looks stiff and overly deliberate

I'll have to check if that tilt is caused by the crooked photo or my drawing.

>>1648049
perspective is off

>>1648043
>>1648049
yeah i can tell. i like your stuff so far. how's your character coming along?

What needs to be fixed before I start shading?

>>1647361
I recognize it. I think it was a drawthread OP pic.

>>1647906
I agree, when i was a kid. I traced a pic and just used a stump to do crazy amounts of shading. It looks awesome and everyone thought I was amazing for my age. and then I stopped using it. And relised how much I fucking suck. and how big a crutch it was.

>>1648098
The best course of action would be to study anatomy and structure and draw the picture again. She's kinda wonky and cardboard looking, particularly the arms, legs and collar bones.
If you just want to finish the picture anyway, I guess fix her legs. She looks like she's floating because her legs aren't under her.

>>1648050
You wanna see bad perspective?

>>1648048
Noted, thank you. I need to fix that in a lot of my drawings.
>>1648085
Good question. I'm going to leave this without comment because I badly need some outside perspective.

>>1648142
i like it. it looks kind of like a cute robot or something

how's your life drawing?

>>1648173
this is kind of adorable

>>1648572
its called 'my son, the mesomorphic giant'

>>1648173
Oh man, saved!!
Do you have a blog or any site I can see more of this stuff?

>>1648171
This is so nice!

I think I know some of the things I've done wrong, but how do I into hair?

this one i did from an image, what do you think

>>1650096
did your little sister draw the hand?

>>1650103
aha you got me, she draws all of my hands

Did a full page of gesture/figure studies today

The ref pics weren't as lewd as depicted save for the pant-less sweater girl above.

>>1650169
