You could lasso your layers, but I normally just draw everything in its respective layer for easy edits.
You can create a mask out of a selection, but not really recommended. Just paint it normally or use paint bucket with proper fill settings. MangaStudio5/CSP has a godtier fill tool.
>whats a good brush for hair?
Depends on the style you want.

Was a new thread really necessary yet? The old threads take ages to sink to the bottom.

>>1976370
Agreed.
Pretty much everyone uses the catalog now anyway.

Atleast write the text with your tablet instead of copy pasting the same ugly font on the OP image every time.

>>1976370
He wanted to be first to make thread, so he could shill his work.

My handwriting is not the best
What font do you think would be better?
>>1976395
Haven't posted in a while now. I just choose the best from the last thread

>>1976397
No worries, what's done is done.

Started drawing people a week or two ago, thought I'd share a character sketch.
Also I want to get over my fear of people seeing my work.

>>1976401
I'm not the only one that gets anxious to death when posting their work here?

>>1976406
>>1976401
Chill dude. Its an anonymous board.just keep working!

>>1976409
I didn't sleep the first time I posted my art here in fear of what people would think about it.

>>1976401
Make several silhouettes, do more cane variations.
His head lacks form. I'm not good at stylizing a subject that I don't draw often, but hopefully this can give you an idea of how to add more volume to his skull.

Also your lines aren't good, it seems like you're rushing. Take it slow and carefully draw the idea you want to convey.

>>1976424
Not him, but I kinda see the style he was probably aiming for, but your points are valid.

Have I fucked up already?
I just am not sure because i normally struggle for quite some time with each figure sketch but this time I just did it.

Also
How do I make a colored outline?
I often see good art with non-black lineart and it lookes good. when I tried to outline hair with dark blue and skin with brown it didn't look good.

Maybe i clip a color level over a lineart level?
Or do I Multiply/Burn the line into the colored image?

>>1976428
Transparency lock the lineart layer and paint over it.

>>1976432
>Transparency lock
So thats how it works!
I was wondering what the fuck is the button for.

I've never actually tried silhouettes, although looking at this I can see how they would help, so I'll give them a shot.

I know what you mean with the head, but I'm trying to learn one thing at a time, and I have yet to get to the more complex planes of the head, I've just been using a sort of generic mannequin head. (Although I was aiming for a more comical look.)

Line quality is something I'm working on, although I do tend to not think about that much when I'm just roughing out ideas like this.

Anyway cheers for feedback, it's encouraging to know people are looking to help out.

Which one? Dragon or Sakuma, the one that gave up earlier?
Do you believe in talent?

>>1976630
sakuma. I liked all characters tho.

i dont know about talent but some people just cant make it.

Pro trip: post at the end of the thread or in a dead thread. Less people will see your work, but it is also possible that you won't get any crits. But you can slowly work your way up the thread as you build confidence and yearn for feedback.

>>1976818
Dunno about that butt. Should be compressed more by her weight.

>>1976369
>use paint bucket with proper fill settings
You mean paint bucket a selection?

>Depends on the style you want.
I like light soft hair, not the spaghetti strands. I played with the opacity and pressure sensitivity but the stroke didn't really fade into the BG like I wanted it to I think I needed a different brush.

>>1976432
>Transparency lock
Fuck I think this is what I want too - thanks anon

>>1976851

Also you need to accept the reality that 9/10 comments on /ic/ are shit or trolling, but after a while you manage to sort out the actual criticism and advice.

>>1976859
This depends on the software you're using, but in CSP/MS5 you can set a reference layer.
If you set the lineart layer as reference, you use paint bucket on another layer and it will bounded by the reference. You can also set it to apply an extra fill to avoid that awful aliasing you get in say, ms paint.

Second, if you want hair that blends into the BG, use a watercolor. You can at a later stage merge all layers and further blend the hair into the BG. You have a million brush customization options for a reason. Experiment until you get the desired result.

Also, transparency lock is indeed a great feature for that, but you can equally use an additional layer, clip it, paint over it and then merge the layers. Transparency lock is faster, but it also means there's not turning back to changes you'd done to it if it goes beyond the undo range.

I've been taking requests from people online and drawing a lot of gaiafag characters and people's very weeaboo OCs to get back into the habit of drawing every day.

At first I hated everything about this person's character but I tried to make it as fun as possible for me to ink and paint.

>>1976917
>drawing a lot of gaiafag characters and people's very weeaboo OCs
oh god why?

>>1976920
I'm coming out of a wicked depression and feel really braindead when it comes to ideas so I'm making a game out of doing things that are removed from my comfort zone and aesthetic preferences.

>>1976917
Isn't it inappropriate to do weeaboo requests in non-weeaboo styles?

>>1976947
are there rules for that kinda thing?
A lot of my stuff lately has been inspired by a lot of japanese artists so...it's not far from weeby? Mainly Sakizou and Takehito Harada and fucking Okage's artwork because I love the scribbly storybook feel of everything in that game.

>>1976520
Im keeping the big boobs for my own uhh.
Ya know

>>1976979
>>1976917
Your proportions look off. If you're trying to go with a "chibi" style, try to make the head bigger because the proportions look more like a physically deformity than stylized.

Your patterns and detailing are pretty sick, though.

>>1976992
I shot myself in the foot because I'd been working on really small paper. This week I'm trying to do some more exaggerated poses so things aren't so blocky and stiff. Been looking at a lot of comics and watching a lot of cartoons to get a better idea on how to capture motion and make unnatural and disproportionate features work with weight and movement.

I'm in this awful mindset where I don't care what things look like, I'm just compelled to do tiny details and patterns and stippling and lines.
> I must carve.

>>1976979
That looks nothing like Harada's art, dude.
And I'm just saying, weeaboos 99% of the time expect moe styles and the such.
That right there is just creepy and abstract.

>>1977008
Sounds and looks more like you're going schizo.

>>1977008
>I'm in this awful mindset where I don't care what things look like
Yet you posted here for critiques?

what do you think?

i spent 6 hours on this its the best thing i made so far now i need to learn layers its my gendersawp oc

>>1977029
I meant it more that I just do really loose and lazy sketches just to have something to start filling in. I mainly posted here because the only people I have to ask for advice/opinions from are weeaboo syncophants and I guess I want to get back into making art and developing my own style or something.

>>1977038
What's up with all those aliased white lines?

>>1976873
>depends on the software you're using
Using PS, but I might look into the others. Still pretty new and there are way too many tools for me to parse

>use a watercolor
>Experiment until you get the desired result.

i'm impressed, there is any tip you can give me to improve my skills?

should i continue with the image or not?

>>1976818
Do you have a tumblr or something?

>>1977139
Practice a lot, there's not other way around it.
You're free to continue the drawing, but I'm afraid that might just lead you absolute frustration, and you don't want that.
A suggestion if you want to keep drawing it with the same idea:
Try going the cheap way for now. Change the angle a bit, more horizontal, and her position int he table, in such a way that you can cover her lower body. As if you're in the POV of a bartender. Throw in some stuff int he table like glasses and stuff and there you go.
You're of course not encouraged to hide lower bodies same way you aren't for feet and hands, but it's a good choice in this case.

>>1977051

"jeese"

>not jewse

you had one job anon! and you fucked it up!

>>1977139

In my opinion at your stage it's better to do a hundred gestures and rough poses than it is for you to do one finished piece. But that's just me.

>>1977128
I was just going to comment on how wide you made the shoulders...

can someone circle places where i need more line weight and explain why so i know what to look at for future drawings. can i also get hand drawing references.

sounds stupid but im serious

My construction seems to have gotten stiff since the initial sketch, but if I try and make it more like the sketch, it seems to become unbalanced.

So should I go with the stiff or the unbalanced one?

No. I would be a shit tier writer.

Trying some digital inking, there is something about super clean lines that I don't like, posting the sketch it might be ¿informative? to someone

>>1978718
also, sorry for the edge

And how I suppised to do that? I don't know what to draw. I can only draw what I already draw.

What if breaking your dick was the impetus which launched you into your writing career? I would read about that.

>>1978763
Another anon here, I'm so confused right now about the proper way to use reference honestly. Wouldn't an artist get flaked on for using the 1st method? Didn't kr0npr1nz get flaked on by so many for copying photo reference?

>>1976557
Why does he have blotches on his face?

>>1978793
The way I use a reference is I look for aspects of the photo I can use. A lot of the time all I need are the proportions of the body, or the perspective. You probably shouldn't be replicating the pose as your picture shows. It's bad form, and you don't really learn much from doing the same piece + fantasy pieces/a different background. You're basically just recreating the photo but with a new wallpaper. Use references when you're stuck on something, whether it be googling photos of what the sky looks like at a certain time of day in order to get a sense of which colours to use, or watching videos of people flexing to see how the muscles of the chest are affected by stretching the arms upwards, or doing observational sketches of people on buses/the subway to see how to make your character's posture look natural when seated. If you're not doing a dedicated photo study, your final product shouldn't resemble any one of the references you used. This also covers your ass from the people dogging kr0n, or potential legal issues

You should already know that you must follow the basics. Critique is for the people that need, for works that have potential.
Go practice.

This is terrible. Like... really terrible. I'm sorry but it doesn't have any redeemable qualities. You should stop trying to make comics and learn even the most basics of basic.

The linework is bad. The anatomy is bad (does she have a tumor in her ass in the final panel?) The colors are flat and bland. The text is so cheesy it should have a rind.

In the white panel you obviously just mirrored her face but it was terrible to being with so now it's just a reflection of its own shortcomings.

And what the fuck is 'DEMON JUICE'? Is that like Satan's sperm?

oh, the houses are tea rooms, they are a little smaller than normal.
one must groutch and sit on the floor to use them.

>>1979188
>>1979195
ALL THE BACKGROUND IS FUCKED

>>1979197
shieeet fine..reworking now..sigh

>>1976361
not a career artist, and never will be. got a real grownup job that pays money. still i like to come home from work an make some draws. not concerned with mastering classical techniques, but still tryna improve. i dont even know what counts as stylized anymore.

>>1979201
I really dig your draw. Your attitude not so much though.

>>1979206
i'm bein kinda facetious. i really love art, I do it every day, it is all kinds of my jam. I just also have other interests, including my career field (biomedical science) that happen to be more lucrative. so I have a rather casual attitude toward traditional artistic training, because it's not necessary to my professional life. i don't draw to perfect my craft, I draw because I like to do it. sorry if that doesn't jam with you :( I don't mean to put anyone off

>>1979215

that's not how it works you fucking asshole.

>make a lot of money
>be happy

pick one. you have no right to both make good money and be happy ontop of that. us poverty artists, we get to be happy and preach about how we sacrificed wealth for self fullfilment.

>>1979188
almost all the arms and hands are in unnatural positions.like what's the deal with the straght arms with bent wrists

>>1979218
dude you sound bitter as all fuck. I have every right to make money and be happy, as does everyone else. i can see yr bein a little self-deprecating/humorously analytical here tho. I'm happy with the decisions I've made, but I totally do think about how things'd be if I'd gone to art school instead. it's frustrating to think about how my interest and QUOTE UNQUOTE "talent" will be necessarily squandered in the pursuit of other endeavors. but at least I have a $600 coat to shield me from that insidious self-doubt and existential regret. rite?

>>1979195
>diff background.
>>1979226
im drawing with the Ukiyo-e style in mind, just have a look at the stiff body poses within their drawings, and woy will see the awkward wrists and all,

>>1979107
decided to paint it first, but then when I went to do linework I was so burned out I just gave up. Wasn't really paying attention to anatomy, some parts got kinda wonky...

>almost figured out the brushes to a usable point
>skirt suffers the most from bad brushes
>lock transparent pixels might be the greatest tool ever created
>mfw I can't draw vertical lines on a tablet

>>1979228
like for one, I'd know 'how 2 do tha composishun' which is a thing that still totally befuddles me. like look at this garbage I spent days working on, it's messy-ass shit that's what. colors is hard, man.

>>1979236
Crop the image some, or do something else to make the car fall back a bit. It's competing with your people.

>>1979252
I feel like the biggest issue is the lack of contrast between the human figures and the background. I tried to offset them with the orange but the composition is so confused it didn't really work. still, this is still very much a WIP; I planned to make the foreground very dark, encompassed by a deep purple shadow. this would include the human figures, but they'd also be outlined by backlighting. i just got frustrated with the execution and now this is all I've got :{ if you've got any other critiques do speak up. this was my first foray into landscape rendering so I'm in way over my head here.

>>1979159
I really hope this is just some super elaborate troll and not an actual retard

>>1979236
Put grass or rocks closer to the viewer, like have it so close that its blurry

>>1979234
Take it easy on the lines

>>1978937

Do one perspective or the other, not both at the same time.

>>1978647
THANK YOU THANK YOU

>>1979307
that's not right. it doesn't fit with the perspective.

>>1979319
You're right.
Somehow I flipped the image as a thumbnail in a different angle.
I think I have my artistic eyes back

>>1976361
I tried to do something different then usual..
...what do you guys think?

>>1978647
THANK YOU THANK YOU

>>1979385
Anon, you should look into Proko and Michel Hampton

>>1979401
I see your point, even though it was supposed to be cartoony I did mess up the anatomy on the neck.

Thanks dude

>>1979405
I like the way you draw the hair, mate.

>>1979405
chick artist spoted.

>>1979167

pretty sure i credited them as studies, and if not ive said else where he is my favorite artist and im trying to draw like him, so whats the problem?

>>1979108
go to sleep, wake up, see this, fucking hilarious

>>1979143
thanks

>>1979168
im a pretty smart guy though anon

>>1979171
cool story bro

>>1979175
>>1979178
was it a secret stjepan sejic is my favorite comic artist who ive been studying the hell out of????

>>1979450
woops, forgot my trip for this one, but its me yall

>>1979385
Here's one that I just finished working on.

>>1979167

you fucking crackhead only two uploads in my entire gallery did i forget to say i was drawing using his method or his style, everything else is all me you fucking dumbass

aside from the times when im trying to draw like the best comic book artist alive today, stjepan sejic, everything else is just made up freestyle by me, im the most original motherfucking artist on the internet, so go choke on a dick with that im a copycat artist shit

im studying the hands of a master artist to get good

the only problem is, is that im not same facing like all the other pros

every pro artist in every medium of art, animation, comics, pro commision art, fucking either same face or there shit is very cookie cutter and similar to each other, even painters like drew struzan or frank frazetta

i havent settled on any sameface of cookie cutter style yet, thats the only reason im not a fucking artgod like they are yet, im still experimenting, im not ready to same face yet

im still playing around, so-calm-THE FUCK- down anon! fuck!

>>1979453
still me, just took my trip code off encase any dumbasses tried to hide and filter me before i could say this

hey /ic/ I'm getting into art as a hobby and I'm a poor college student. I'm thinking about getting a tablet though since the way my desk is designed makes it really hard to draw on traditional paper.
Do you guys think its a good idea to invest in a cheap tablet this early on?

>>1979467
You have mental problems

>>1979482

sigh.... no i dont, and your a dick

>>1979482

actually bones has a point, every pro artist does sameface, thats a fact.

but he seems a bit butt-mad here so i think he just had a few poor choice of words in his rage typing

>>1979486
You know what I meant.
The guy has issues. Delusions of grandeur.

>>1979467
>>1979167

>>1979489
he is autistic.

>>1979489
He is like shitty 4chan version of Henri Rousseau

>>1979144
To be fair, this is actually good for deviant art tier material.

>>1979504
Shut up Bones

>>1979188
those are really bad ways of holding swords. Look at some references.
perspective a bit off
awkward poses

>>1979505
woah now, I'm not saying its good or anything, but you compare it to this and its not too bad.

>>1979520
Well, if you compare that to a bunch of shit smeared to a canvas, that one is not so bad, so I don't really see your point.

>>1979489
I legitimately can't tell where Bones ends and the trolls begin. He sort of eschewed his trip when everyone on /co/ just filtered him, and because he can't take a hint, he stuck around as an anon, pretty much indistinguishable from the people trying to further besmirch him (as if he didn't do a good enough job of that himself). Bones, if it really is you posting and not just someone taking the piss, stay off of 4chan. There are other sites where you could probably cultivate a respectable following of people with similar aspirations, talents and developmental disorders.

>>1977144
w.i.p, i have a question on this image, the head is too big, or the shoulders are too big?

>>1979309
>the lines
I didn't have the stamina to do the proper line work last night so I just deleted some of the extra lines from the sketch. Then when I tried to thicken the sketch lines it reallllllly didn't work.

Next time I'll definitely do the line work BEFORE the rendering. It feels like it's impossible to trace the render afterwards.

Plus I still have no fine motor control with the tablet. It feels like I'm drawing lefty or something. I need more mileage...

>>1979680
>Plus I still have no fine motor control with the tablet. It feels like I'm drawing lefty or something. I need more mileage...
Use your tablet as mouse for everything, that'll give the control you need.

>>1979684
I hate scrolling with the pen. I used my two buttons as secondary click and erasure.

I'll try to keep the mouse only for the scroll wheel

>>1979464
Last one for the day.

>>1979698
forgot pic..sorry

>>1979679
i did some fixes on the left arm, her right arm will be holding a glass

>>1978983

new sketch!

>>1979758

looking good bones, keep it up and you could be better than me one day!

>>1979715
You have an issue with the eyes. The iris is too wide, follow the references, even the redlines people did. You also need a reference for that hand (use a mirror and sketch your own hand), same goes for the other arm.
The shoulders could be a bit less wide, but I think the real problem is that the armpit is too high. The neck also needs to be thinner.
Give it a go.

>>1979758
Eyes too high, mouth too wide. Not sure how much of this should fall into the stylization territory tho because I'm a beginner and I suck.

>>1979758

ahahahahaha lol omg, thanks for the laugh polish anon!

What do you think so far?

>>1980044
Creepy as fuck

>>1979758
I don't know how could anyone hate Bones, he is fucking hilarious.

>>1979783
thoughts?

>>1980130
it will look better if i draw the pinky, ring and middle finger from the right hand, stretched?

>>1980094


this

>>1980130
Is that how you hold that type of glass? (Honestly not sure, I'm not a drinker)

>>1980044
I feel like her torso is too short.

>>1980163

That glass is far too small if anything

>>1979758

new sketch

>>1980190
You have me laughing, no joke. At what point do you decide "yeah, this looks like thing"? If someone wanted to assists with paint over of this they'd have an easier time starting from a blank page. Please never improve.

>>1980130
>>1980163
Yeah, I think you need to take the pose of your character, before you draw it, I've never seen anyone hold a glass like that before.

>>1980200
>>1980116

>>1980116

>>1980167
The idea was that she was bending forward a bit, less extreme than the top right sketch, but it kinda came out as if she just rotated her upper body instead.

>>1979489
I think bones is the hero /ic/ needs. He draws everyday.

>>1980130
using a reference from internet i redraw the right hand, that kind of glass is called "martini" like the drink.

>>1980225
That is soooo much better anon. I'm not saying the drawing is good, but seriously, I lol'd at the other hand.

>>1980225
That's how you do it

>>1980218

As if /ic/ wasn't shit enough already

just adopted a popular art style. other than the pose, (might look weird since the legs start at a certain position) I need to know what else to add to it. textures? color? better lineart? it feels empty, and I feel like this came out great by luck and circumstance, and I wont be able to repeat it with succession.

Also, I shade with blue gradients on a separate clipping layer and use overlay. is this the proper setup to shade and light? do I use "Luminosity" layers for light? thanks

>>1980329
The fuck is that thing in the back?

i posted this in the draw thread aswell, im pretty sure it ticks both boxes, as i am stylizing too..
calling it done,
thoughts?

>>1980190
If any advice will help, try not to use the watercolor tool as much as you do. It makes shit look blurry and goopy.
This would have been a better picture with just the hard textured brush you've used for the feet.

>>1979310
You draw sora really good, damn.

wip
having trouble with eyes

Hi, i just drew this 25 minute ago, didn't really bother with shading

>>1980352
It's an offhand sketch but thanks for your creative input.

>>1980383
please locate the beginners thread, and adventure to the haven known as the sticky please.

I was bored and without internet for a bit so I drew something without any reference. With that in mind, what do you guys think? I don't have a scanner, so excuse me for the bad quality.

>>1980391
keep practicing and continue looking at anatomy references for hips and legs (maybe hands) but everything else can be fixed through practice.

if I mix all these style in the same manga, would it look inconsistent? should I just stick to one? I know berserk has both realistic proportions up to googly eyes and yet it still looks unified. should I stop giving a damn and just do it?

otto schmidt's little mermaid

This time I'm gonna do the linework first before painting... might not be enough time to finish tonight :( I hate the idea of polishing a turd over multiple days

>>1980391
rinfag's disciple?

>>1980383
You need to train your figure drawing + perspective, and a lot of it.

>>1980606
lines done?

stupid mouth not sure what to do with it...

Valentine's coming but I have no idea what to draw for my Waifu. as for other drawings I abandoned three half-colored pictures in one day and because they sucked but because I had no power left to finish them. Like I get disappointed in composition and idea before I finish polishing colors and simply Alt+F4 without saving.

I feel like I MUST draw whenever I have a shred of free time to get better so I could create something cool for my waifu when I get good, but when I grab th stylus some sort of stupor hits me.

Is this burnout?
What do?

>>1980635
You just dont love her enough

>>1980629
"don't draw the lines you want to see, draw the lines you have to see".

draw many mouths. choose one. insert.

hey slow down there. just take it day by day. stressing to improve only makes you feel worse that you're not improving fast enough and leads to getting mad at yourself for producing something below what you expected you "should" be able to by now, while you're unable to work in peace. make sure you set aside some time to just work on your art and not feel a pressure to do it whenever you have a ten minute break from something. but when you do have those small shreds of time, just make a little sketch of whatever you feel like, or something you see. see how far you've come. ponder on how far you'd like to go, reflect for a moment.

as for the valentines thing, if I may be so bold to suggest something, with the limited time you have left for valentines day, think small. maybe a cute little picture with something you both enjoy, drawn in a simple fashion, nothing too complicated, and a little text with how much you enjoy being with this wonderful person.
(if you're both into NGE, maybe two EVAs sitting beside eachother and watching the sunset(or [insertnumber] impact)? with some text like.
"Angels insides are red
Rei's EVA is Blue
I'd start another impact
just for you)
sorry if my creepyness levels are showing and for the wall of text, but I really hope you two have a good day together.

and that every other anon reading this has a good tomorrow, and future too.
and to those who don't happen to have someone to write nice things to tomorrow. maybe we could have a lonely hearts thread and draw together for a bit.

Oh thank you for the idea, this is very much like what i was drawing roght now and i guess i can make a funny valentine out of that.

BTW my waifu is Rei, not Eva 00

>>1980629
I hate looking at this now - that means I am done.

I just discovered that you can set the brush to multiply instead of a layer. More investigation needed...

>>1980641
>draw many mouths. choose one.
genius, next time

>>1980652


your monitor probably isn't picking the color but there is some head sketches in this image. only the grey color is reaaally faint

>>1980682
ooooooo this nigga is talking shit about your monitor oooooooooooooooooo

>>1980693
Nobody talks shit about my monitor.
>>1980682
Nigga, you simply do not post something like that, change the contrast or levels.

>>1980670
Don't use multiply for shading.
Use a brush with half opacity, or pressure dependent opacity. That'll give you the proper color blending you want, aside from it native color blending a brush should have.

>>1980523
Yeah they look pretty inconsistent to me. Top right and center one still looks like they're from the same universe though.

Eyes and cheek shape are your main issue. Set a proportion chart for your characters, determine the amount you'll push for each character's features so that they vary, but still be within the same universe.

>>1976361
Tarded beginner here.

If I want to learn how to draw my own shit, is there any use in practicing copy drawing? I don't know if that's actually what you call it, but I mean looking at a picture and just trying to draw it. That's what I've been doing lately, but I want to be able to draw creatively. Should I stop what I'm doing and read some books on this shit, or am I benefiting from this somehow?

>>1980755
Adorable. Do you have a tumblr?

Is it possible to make an upshot of an anime stilized face?

I understand that suupshots are widely avoided in art, people try to do anything to avoid face upshots, but upshots are something I really want to draw.

I will next time anon.

>>1980715
that's a shame, I really like the aesthetics each one can bring but I guess you can't just throw everything.

yeah, I should be making them proportion chart and start designing for the overall feel and looks. thanks for the input.

wip, still adjusting lightweight

Am I doing it right, Anon-senai?

new sketch, any one else doing some early mourning sketching?

its a work in progress by the way

YOU SCARED HIM OFF

>>1980893


ya know, someone on here asked me why dont i go to some other place where people will actually like me and i can get fans of my work

my answer is, fuck those places, there fake social hug boxes, and everyone on any other website is a fake ass hugbox sjw faggot that only publicly likes your shit or somments on your shit to advertise there own shit.

4chan is the only place thats real, the only place you can truly get good and be the best because people can anonomasly and heroically call you a worthless fagot with shit art, 4chan keeps it real, every other art place online is fake as hell

>>1980912

*or comments on your shit to advertise there own shit.

85% of the people outside of the tumblur advertising thread is bad. It's noobs calling other noobs 'worthless faggots'.

>>1978718
noice style yo, the pose is just hella awkward tho. gj anyway

Check out Beginner Thread, there is many useful stuff.

You want to learn how to copy so you can use reference precisely, but thats it. For creative stuff go Loomis + Proko + Vilppu + Hampton.
You can find information on how to copy, academic way, in Vilppu manual, and he has one video. Yopu can also check "Charles Bargue And Jean Leon Gerome Drawing Course", but don't go all book, just do fea plates with the method in book.

helpful video, you can use to study your favourite artist, not only old master:
