But that's the rectus femoris.

Stuff I've found on CA

Someone did this redline for me months ago when I had just started.

This is bullshit, there are no sun lightrays coming through the clouds/smog. Original is more correct, b/c light should be more diffuse.

>>2095949

that's an ugly painting if i've ever seen one

got something on drawing nature, trees n shit for a change?
stylized anatomy stuff gets posted all the time.

>>2095634
what does "tangents" mean here? I don't get it

>>2096860
The edges of multiple objects in the image overlapping (e.g. the top of the hill and the bottom of the roof in that image). A big part of creating the illusion of depth is an image is foreground objects occluding background objects. Tangents make the illusion weaker

What's the point of tutorials?
They will only give you a shallow, quick overview of the issue at hand and are usually made by DA celebrities looking to promote their blogs.

Why not open up a figure drawing book instead of reading useless "HOW 2 DRAW HANDS" tutorials?

>>2096879

>>2096881

>>2096880
it can always make you consider something you didn't think about

>>2096882

>>2095959
The original has shit values though. The second is objectively better.

>>2096879
this is actually really useful

>>2096880
There are a lot of topics that are
- not complex enough to warrant buying or writing a book about them; a tutorial is fine
- too obscure to find in a book, esp. on figure-drawing. You won't find a chapter about how to draw waves or rocks in most figure drawing books.

How about a please.

>>2096879
That's pretty neat.

flawless logic

>>2095958
Always liked measuring in craniums more.

>>2100720

>>2095958

>>2096077
Fuck yes. I have been trying to figure out how to color line art for such a long time and this works perfectly. Awesome.

>>2104174
Eleventy, son

>>2104171
Coloring line art isn't that hard hell there's a simpler way than that one. But good on you, get to work.

That's one of those cases where the tutorials is complete bullshit and someone traced a photo or cg render.
Those kinds of tutorials are used to spice up portfolios, not to give actual advice.

>>2095643
whats with the lines? people actually do this?

>>2096865
Another thing i see a lot is eros shooting on the wrong side of the bow

Who the fuck learns how to draw a rock through a tutorial?
Fucking go outside and draw some fucking rocks, jesus christ. That's such a cancerous mentality.

Drawing rocks is not something trivial that you learn a pre-set algorithm for either. There's different kinds of rocks native to different areas of the planet and they can be drawn in a multitude of ways.

Do people really not want to study from life and would rather do with a collection of symbols other people have made for them?

This guy seems to be uploading gumroads and other crappy photography tutorials for you to watch.

I have most of the gumroads already so I thought I help my fellow anons out.

You work with what you got.

It's not really about the rock as such. In the case of the rock, the issue is that you have an object that is extremely high in information density/detail. It has a million variations in value and hue. It has a million tiny geometric variations, from the largest scale (mountain ranges) to the microscopic scale.

The issue is not to find a rock and look at it, but to figure out how to represent this kind of information overload in your linework while preserving the likeness of the object (in this case, the rock.)

If you set a new beginner in front of a rock and ask them to draw the rock, they will not manage to produce a pleasing looking rock, no matter how many rocks you show them.

The issue is in the fundamental way to represent/abstract the detail. It's a method you can learn through the tutorial, and if you have, you can apply it to other stuff (treetops, landscapes, hair, ...), not just rocks.

Or, you know, maybe someone just wants some generic rocks in the background of their character design and doesn't give enough of a shit to go out and find an actual rock.

All you ever need

Thanks! this is really helpful

>>2105925
what's that from?

>>2105571
I do that but not usually with the green ones. Sometimes. It's basically "draw and envelope around the person and then refine" plus "what lines up with what else here?"

This is how barque plates are done, actually. Those lines, after you've got them down pretty accurately, are something you go through and refine.

It's not like it's the only way to draw so if you don't like it don't do it. It helps me and my classmates out a lot though. Hell, a lot of artists do this you just never really see those stages.

a tutorial posted in this thread

This book is amazing, I wonder how many aspiring artists it drove from the hobby?
