You keked me & Nice pencil work

>>2179525
your perspective is off.
grab a copy of "perspective made easy".

doing perspective free-hand, is pretty easy. you can pretty accurately guess where the vp are and doing the lines free hand adds a certain humane characteristic to the drawing.
anyway, you ae doing it wrong. i'd suggest using a pencil, instead of a pen.
pens force you to think before you act. what's done can never be undone.
pencils give you more freedom, they feel better, they usually look better, you can erase them, etc.

Did this one a few minutes ago. Glad there's a sketchbook thread to post it in for once haha.

drawing people that are knocked the fuck out is great

Fuckin around putting figures from my head over 1 minute gestures.

>>2180555
This guy,

Really likes this >>2180074

>>2180555
I like how you shade

these things I do instead of paying attention in class. Fun.

Sorry about the effects, it's not the best camera and it makes things easier to see

>>2180556
i'm flattered. I'd fuck her too.

I wanted to try doing a full two page spread in my sketchbook.

it looked cooler in my mind

>>2180747
Nice

>>2178909
cool whats going on

>>2180771
Not much. Those are just some thumbnails for a picture I am working on. Simple, basic ideas to see which one might be interesting enough to take further.
The plan is to move further away from the real thing and sorta explore the gesture of it.

Quick tree I did, sorry for the size, I can only post from mobile

>>2181036
look at your drawing and think about what works and what doesn't.
if you have done that, tell me. i wanna see if we come to the same conclusion. i'd assume so though

>>2181059
I think I messed up the darker parts, they look messy because I put too much lines down but I'm really new to brushpen and I'm still trying to figure these things out, so if you got some pointers I would appreciate them bigtime

please be gentle, this is the first thing I'm sharing with the world.

>or don't, I need the criticism.

>>2181115
you are right and the reason you messed up the dark parts is because the brush works very differently from a pen/pencil. with the brush you are basically manipulating form on a very direct level and there is no way you can make anything you did undone.
with a pencil you easily work everything out beforehand.

the brush pen is a hard tool. use it if you want to but i wouldnt suggest it for beginners. i only use mine when i need to color in bigger parts.

what works best in your drawing is the tree trunk. it shows the brushpens strenght: it can work extremely well with light and shadow, if you know how to control them that is.
that is also why the rest of your drawing fails. you should have worked out the light/shadow (and form) of the leaves first before ging right into them.

this is why kim jung gi excels with the pen. he already has the form, the details in mind and he has a plan on where the light comes from and what it does to the form. that's where he starts. as a normal person you will have to spend years training until you get to a point where all those things become second nature.
same thing mike mignola says in interviews about hellboy. sure he struggled with the whole shadow thing in the beginning but for years now he has been at a point where he thinks less and feels these things more.

>>2181117
your signature is way better than the actual drawing
you need to work on your fundamentals boi

>>2181130
Thanks dude, I'll keep that in mind . I got it as a present and didn't know where to start because doing a very detailed sketch before inking seems to ruin this tools spontaneity, but its really fun to do morning sketches with , so I think ill keep using it for that purpose.
(maybe for years)

first two about 30 min each, from reference.

>>2178793
I did these ones during lectures, this sketchbook is kind of empty but I took my favorites doodle to post here
I arely too much on sources and existing works to draw things like the first and the 4th one. I lack imagination I guess

>>2181197
HAHAHA i love the first one - pretty cute

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS26orQu-js

>>2180953
the pig head looks nice

I tried

some quick sketches. like 2-5 minutes

>>2182210
If you are trying to do gestures, you are doing them wrong.
those are contours. if you are trying to do contours then those are fine

>>2182185
so hard

>>2182241
And got so far

>>2182245
well you obviously didnt try at all to resize your fucking pictures you fucking asshole

>>2182210 I was really trying to see the 2d shapes and get them on the page. So I dunno what you'd call that.

>>2182934

Testing out some copic markers I got recently, its almost like watercolours without the fuss and mess, pretty happy with them.

>>2182342
>shitty format edition
Nigger are you even trying so hard?

>>2182935
and you're probably one of the contributors to this thread. lulz. draw from life, child.

>>2182951
I could kick your arse tbh

>>2182934
just ignore the fact that most people here are actually trying to learn and get better.
as they do in all other threads where the drawings aren't better or worse.

now stop samefagging and fuck off summerfag.

>>2182973
reported for breaking rule 2.
why do you give so much of a fuck anyway about how good or bad others are?
shouldn't you be worried about your own progression?

be happy that everyone is apparantly worse than you. after all this whole board is also your competition.
in reality though, you are just jelly. no one cares. you are a cunt and either your contribute to the thread/board or you might as well shut up.

>>2180959
those line weights are so good man...

Been working a lot in pen, filling up older sketchbooks with some simple pen sketches and misc. junk.

little tanks

>>2184754
Tanks on the third row are great. Try to get the rest of the designs up to that level. Those ones feel more functional than the rest, especially the ones with legs don't feel mechanically solid or viable.

>>2184757

lol that's because those ones are studies

thanks for crit

>>2185361
aite last one

>>2180555
you shouldn't shade your drawings if you're not gonna do anything with value. grab a pencil and just outline the shadows instead of filling them. you lose time and don't gain anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKfsZaNrmzM

some velma trap, the only recent pencil drawing i have on my computer. like 5-10 minutes

>>2185363
Good ones bruh

>>2181197
first one lookin tasty

>>2185327
I think you could do better. That magic box dude was pretty nice

>>2181197
Could you post the 3rd one so i can see it in detail

>>2186313

Thanks! I was drunk and very tired and boxes are fairly hard to draw inside of.

>>2194385
some of these are hard as fuck

>>2192583

feedback appreciated unless you're a fag

I'm finally understanding how to use the H side of pencils. Before, Everything was all B side but I've learned that you can use H side pencils like a blending stump.

The drawing is of an old knight soul embodied in a new knight body.

Also, I have a question/request from y'all. I notice that when I think about a character or a story surrounding a drawing the drawing comes easily to me. When I focus on the drawing and the technical aspects I am usually left with a blank piece of paper. Are there any good resources out there on story telling? Specifically for short stories. Maybe a simplified three-act story arc that I can read up on.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

>>2194642

A gallery was visited, observations were drawn, a shit camera fucked with the values just to be a dick.

I have been at this for a long time, and I don't have anything against illustration or digital media and in this thread there are a few who might make something good one day, but I would employ all of you and train you if I could. Out of all of the people in this thread you all show the most promise, some are at different levels but none of you are taking short-cuts.

You can all make it. A word of advice for those that haven't already; study the conceptual process. It doesn't need to be abstract or pretentious contemporary concepts, but the worst thing you could ever do is make art simply to "look attractive." Even the impressionists were trying to make a statement with their work.

feels bad man

Is there a term form when something isn't good but you don't hate it? I've been doing 3 minute self portraits and they suck but I feel like In finally starting to capture likeness. Doing other people is so much easier though.

>>2204529

Quick figure drawing exercise + some feet. I am very aware that the figure drawing didnt turn out so well.

>>2206638
The bottom three sketches of feet are great (except for the right heel). The figure looks very rushed, as if you didn't spend much time actually looking at what you were drawing or don't have much figure study to fall back on.

If you can put out more drawings with as much attention to detail as the bottom left feet then you will be doing very well.

Y'all know of any good phone scanning apps?

I'm just getting into traditional drawing, and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same experience.
Quite often I'll draw something and it'll look fine on paper, then I'll scan it in and suddenly the proportional/perspective flaws become really obvious, even though I can hardly see them on paper. I don't really understand why.

>>2206840
This happens to me a ton too. I think it's just a matter of practice and training your eye

>>2192441

That's fantastic, anon.
I've been trying to draw tanks lately and it really showcased me how garbage I am at perspective.

Excuse the line paper

>>2206743
To turn your phone into a scanner ?

>>2207103
That was a Leyendecker study, now I'll post some month old figure drawings. any feedback appreciated as I have nobody irl to talk about them to

>>2207105
That was actually me, I found one on the google play store. Yeah, as opposed to taking normal pics and if you don't have a legit scanner on hand

What's with your filenames? Anyways, >>2207108 is my favourite of the bunch.

I think overall they are alright, I like that you are not hesitant to put down a strong line or block of shadow.

What you lack in draftsmanship you are making up for in other qualities. Not much to say other than to keep doing more of these.

Thanks mate. Glad you have one you like. Don't know about more live figure stuff - too aspie to go to one by myself.

I seem to get a lot of compliments on my 'confidence' when I draw? It's weird because I'm the polar opposite of confidence when I am drawing.

buhhh

>>2203200
for some reason they remind me of the mad magazine comics called bitterman

Sick robots, I like robots

>>2209091
you don't like robots. you like figure drawing. go find a figure drawing class so you can get better at drawing people.

only reason they are "robots" is cause the drawings are stiff. If the figures weren't so rigid they'd be people not "robots"

What size yall use for ya sketch books? Tried em A5 ones, but my drawfag mate told me I should use bigger ones to draw with my arm and not my wrist or somethin like that.

>>2211889
a5 is good for carry round, quick idea sketches. Fits comfortably on most scanners which is nice. I don't usually use a4 as I can't quite mentally separate the dimensions from college rule paper I've used all my life in school. So If I go big, I go real big.

Hey guys I set out to study for a few hours but after two the joints in my hand became really stiff and unresponsive. Anyone had similar issues or know any techniques for avoiding this? I'm going to take some breaks in future but i thought there was an off chance of picking up some tips.

Trying to figure out a face for a war veteran type. Didn't really want to include the first one but fuck it, part of the creative process.

>>2214081
The fourth one is of much higher quality than the rest, and the most visually pleasing. The beard signifies long periods of time, which would be fitting, considering the original intent. Besides, it's also the best constructed of them, the others are a bit skewed.

It's a babbling brook with rocks. I was looking directly into the sun glaring off the water hence the wacky highlights. It was really challenging but fun - I plan on going back to the park this weekend so maybe I'll post more then

I dont have any excercises so much as i have a couple of sketches im happy with enough to show off to strangers on the internet. Critique? Ill go back through the thread and offer whatever feedback I have in a second or two.
