I'm in the middle of painting this now

wip gesture study

Studying hampton

why brah

>>2215722

Can you explain what your brush settings are? I can't get that buttery paint feel in photoshop no matter how many tutorials I look up. What's your opacity/flow?

>>2215751

Paint tool Sai's basic brush and "water" brush :P

Just got it and love the simplicity and power of it. Still planning on using PS though for editing and specific things.

I've used photoshop for years & years and have never found that immediate "buttery feel".

im gonna finish this tomorrow
put it all together in one pic

>>2215683
I like the skulls but your features need some work

>>2215716
You should learn to draw before you even touch any of that painterly stuff. If you're working on anatomy why didn't you get the anatomy right before you started rendering it?

Hey I'm new to this board a friend recommended it to me. If I could get some feedback on this I'd really appreciate it.

>>2216028
why does his penis have claws?

>>2215917
>no pic
>only judgement is that, "why are you practicing when you are bad"

It's a practice. Not a masterpiece.

>"why are you rendering bad anatomy, etc."

why learn? baby steps, but you have to at least try. your post is shit.

>>2215663
>miku taking tips from bcc hahaha
i'nm doing characters for my comic.

>>2216043
no. stop. learning to draw is more important than painting. becoming a goods draughtsman should come before painting at all, because you'll already understand form and structure. unfortunately, you're kind of wasting your time by noodling away on your painting. do some loomis man.

Fucking around. I need to do real studies so I can be less trash.

Help needed here, how's the composition looking? Something looks off to me, it's only the basic shapes for now, no light ot anything yet obviously, but I don't want to go forward without being sure that the comp works fine.

>>2216028

This is cool. don't let anybody tell you any different. You have a style, now polish it and own it.

>>2216178
If I am asked if I have ever seen the most toxic and unhelpful post this would be it.

>>2216119
I'm really not too sure what you are trying to show. Is that a man? A statue? Is he going to fight the other guy? Are they on the same side? Is he riding an animal? or sitting on a weird throne? The tree in the distance looks like another person at first. And the giant tree on the right is distracting.

When people say to simplify your image, you should simplify your THOUGHTS about the image. What is the scene? What is the best way to show this? What is unnecessary to show this? Is this the best angle to view it at? Is this the best lighting to show what you want to show? I honestly have no clue what I'm looking at. Don't just thing about "composition with basic shapes"...think about the story and point of the image, and the composition will almost dictate itself.

>>2216119
I dig it. Maybe widen the frame and shorten it to allow more information and concentrate on the two figures to the left? I'd say your composition looks fine as is, though, I'm assuming what is there is a statue with a figure behind it, but like >>2216189 said, there's no story behind it or enough information. No real context. Your colors looks nice and the scene itself is well done, though,

>>2216183
You don1t have to flip out every time you read the word style, you know?
Style is the main selling point of art. It is extremely important.

>>2216222
Possibly the absolute worse thing you can do to someone is treat them like a special snowflake and telling them to stick to muh style.

>>2216059
>>2216059

>hurr u need 2 git gud in order to git gud

I'm reading loomis. does that mean EVERY picture has to/will be great? No. Am I copying every picture for picture? No. But you have to try.

I'd be wasting more time, by not trying in the first place, and you can practice multiple things at once. eat shit, or actually point out what is wrong in your opinion? "your anatomy is wrong, why are you still trying" isn't helpful, or constructive in anyway besides telling me "ur wrong lol"

>inb4 fingers, toes, penis
>implying I'm not practicing those separately, and decided to focus on body composition, and proportions
>muh realistic draughtsmen

>>2216183

way to be toxic and unhelpful. How bout you give some constructive criticism instead.

>>2216223
says who?

Just practicing some poses.
I'm a little lost on the legs and I wanna keep the line of action.

You suck and you're gonna fuck forever. Fuck off and kill yourself

>>2216657
>why are you practicing when you're bad
>"is told to suck dicks, cuz no one is perfect"
>well fuck you then, you suck forever

geez my feelings are hurt

>>2216659
No one's asking you why you're practicing, they're asking why you're practicing BADLY, because you are. Fuck off with your "n-no one's perfect gaiz leave me alone" trash if you're not gonna take suggestions and at least attempt to do things even sort of properly.

Super noob here, anyone here have any idea what this might end up as? Cause I'm just winging it,

>>2216666
Nice quads. But my friend, you need to calm down. The way he does things has nothing to do with you.

>>2216666
it is literally a practice. 10 mins. you can still suck my dick. I'll put more effort into:

1. A bigger practice
2. More advanced practices

I didn't even use a reference for this, I was testing what I know? No one has even stated "what" is actually bad. "Just all of it", is just your autism showing.

>>2216675
Area Man Had Feelings Hurt At Notorious /ic/ Board

>>2216668
>Cause I'm just winging it,

Do you even want to learn? If i give it to you straight are you gonna come back at me with "post your work"? Can i have your word that you won't get pissy and over defensive? Are you asking for critique or for someone to beat around the bushes and have some compliment like "otherwise good work keep at it anon ;)" at the end?

First and foremost, chicken scratching. You could have avoided it by having a glance at the sticky.

Secondly, what is it? It's a face drawn very iconically. Aka symbol drawing, where you do not think about the object in 3d space or perspective which makes it flat.

>inb4 its just a 2d drawing, therefore it needs no depth

Lastly, there is no indication of initial construction. Again you could have avoided this by having even the slightest peak at the sticky.

And that is the biggest problem of this board at the moment, not reading the sticky.

People want shortcuts, and it shows. Jumping in here straight away, posting into a thread with your absolute first drawing or even making a completely new thread for it in the hopes of someone giving you an answer to a question which has no such answers. For example like " how do i git gud?" or "Here is my first drawing am I going to make it?"

The sticky is there for a reason, to give beginners like you a spring board so you don't have to make a new thread looking for answers which are explained in depth in the resources within the sticky.

I really feel like re-directing beginners to the sticky or telling them to open up their loomis books is disregarded as some meme. But if you gave it a chance you would see why people do it, not to be mean, but to help you understand that it is pointless to come here asking for the same information that is in those books.

/ic/ is a crab bucket tho.

>>2216984
I think you're supposed to outgrow /ic/. When you get good enough you gotta go to other sites and make a name for yourself or you'll just stay here to receive the flak of frustrated beginners and shitposters.

>>2216987
>When you get good enough you gotta go to other sites and make a name for yourself

Friendly reminder.

>>2216989
Of course you won't just renounce to 4chan altogether. Even catbib and the other guys who 'made it' still post here from time to time.

>>2216978

No I forgot about the sticky, I don't come here often so it's easy to forget. And I don't get upset about criticism, it's helpful. Honestly I just wanted to be part of the board. But most people on here are so gung ho about drawing they act like it's all or nothing. This is a hobby to me, and one I'm working at slowly. I dont have the time or resource to dedicate all my time too. I really wish I did, but for now I'm learning the basics. xD Thanks for replying tho.

>>2216964
Gesture, anatomy, and form
Nice taste in French cartoons though

it's 4am why did i stay up to draw this christ

Random sketches.

>>2215651

>>2217663
Stop drawing fanart.

learning from Don Kenn senpai~ <3

>>2217663
Practice for a month nonstop don't base the picture just draw bodies in various poses. Look online for basic anatomies and tutorials on them.

My mentor's dog

>>2216028
At a glance they're beautiful compositions with lots of movement. When looked at more closely, they need mainly technical improvements on lines and stuff. Love your ideas though.

>>2217732
>>2216028

This. Your technical skill is very poor but if you work on steadying your hand and work on saturation with your color. You will have a very special thing.

snake + bunny (+ body and movement of a cat)
I'm sure I could touch it up some more, especially around the eye
also, I need a name for this cute lil guy

hour and a half but whatever.

I draw weird shit when I dont know what to draw.

Man I was really digging this page until I saw the "glen keane hands <3" note. Why

>>2217851
>no fun allowed

Personally I find it enjoyable when artists with skill have a sense of humor.

I tried following the sticku for the first time and this came out. Should I keep going with the sticky or find some other learning method?

Drawing random stuff for practice. Give me a theme or something

>>2217851
Why not?

>>2217878
>Give me a theme or something
Watercraft.

>>2217778
alright bud, if starting flame wars and having others grow tired of it means you think you're even partially decent with a pencil, good luck.

>>2217746
You should have used d/ic/k instead but this is still pretty funny.

>>2217852
That, however, isn't funny. It's really faggy.

>>2217924
Humor was probably the wrong word.

When they don't take themselves too seriously.

>faggy
>implying anyone cares beyond a few autists on 4chan

Trying loomis for the first time and improvising the body. Anything to say besides "keep practicing"?

Also is this the right thread for what I'm doing

>>2217994
hahaha, that's pretty cute man. Keep it up fam.

i just drew this
i don't know what is going on in it but Piccolo looks like a bitch

>>2217994
drawing slim faces like this is so freaking hard

>>2217767
Don't be a bitch

>>2215651
woof

Did a speedpainting to get into "painting" again, had fun.

>>2218101
And my process if anyones interested

>>2218102
t-thats unique

>>2218102
Oh god what the fuck

how did you come up with this shit

Stay mad. Stay jelly. Stay salty.

>>2218210
JFC you're just desperate to get the last word in, aren't you? Good luck at your first portfolio evaluation if you ever have the faintest hope of going pro. Try not to cry bitch tears and leave drunken rants on their answering machines when they turn you away.

>>2218323
aside from rendering detail, putting together backgrounds is nothing difficult to begin with. photographers do that shit every fucking day.

its like telling me, look im a photographer, im an amazing artist.

to some degree that is true, but its not difficult.

>>2218326
and your responses make you witty and edgy. and yet have nothing to add in regards to the actual post, his method is unnecessary for such a simple concept to begin with.

want to know a secret? rule of thirds.

>>2215716
well id say focus on anatomy first, figure out proportions first. do you use a reference?

>>2216513
So basically you can only draw faces.

tried out a new style. hoping for some crit too

>>2217860
Keep going. youre actually doing really good job of avoiding falling into symbolisim in your drawings

^v^

Did you test the loops yet? The placement of the knee/length of thigh varies from frame to frame.

>>2219177
For now it's like this. I already fixed the shadows flickering btw

for a love of god please try something else with the character designs
it´s supposed to be entertainment

I gave in and started the 30 day improvement thing. It's going to be pure hell if this is how I start. Shitty self portrait go.

>>2216969
This pretty cool dude, hope you finish it.

>>2220178
The worse you start the more obvious the progress will be. 30 days isn't much time, but given your level if you are drawing each day for a few hours you will see some improvement.

My recommendation is to slow down when you draw. Spend longer looking before you put down each mark, and when you make a mark don't rush it and do a fast hard scribbly line. Take some care with the line and have your hand move in a controlled manner. Just by slowing down like this I think you will improve a lot.

>>2220182
Got it, thank you anon. I'll try to slow down, gonna be hard to break the habit.

painting I started this evening
5'x6' oil on canvas

>>2218102
neat

>>2220217
Cool. Would hang.

>>2220217
why the loooong face?

>>2218859
legs look too short and the angle seems weird. try elongating the left one and making the foot longer as well.

>>2219039
Instead of doing individual lines for hair, try color blocking lighter/darker values. it also might seem like all the shadows and highlights on the face are soft, but a lot of the time they're actually harsh. try experimenting with brushes.

WIP still
Gouache on Watercolor paper.
Acrylics and watercolors did not prepare me for this!
Only now that I step away from it, do i realize her abdomen looks like taffy...

'get over it,' screeches the man who has just brought up a conversation from two days ago in a gambit that makes him look spectacularly insecure. 'no one cares except you,' he whispers to the computer screen, caringly, as he cares. he cares so much.

>>2220944
>im trolling him (You)

>>2218908
too bad that looks terrible.

Copy pasted the arms because I got extremely lazy. It looks like total shit.

A mask.

>>2221252
Sleak lines dog. Gonna color it?

>>2221256
I planned on expanding on the picture first but I don't know. Might just scrap it because I don't feel talented enough to execute what I have in mind.

I drew a manticore. Aside from it being messy/muddy, what'd you think?

>>2221264
First thought was foo dog, not manticore.

>>2221267
Huh. It does kinda look like a foo dog. I wasn't using that as a reference, I must've had that in the back of my brain for some reason.

>>2220178
What is the "30 days improvement thing"? Newfag here.

>>2220829
Did you draw it from a photograph or did you draw them outside looking at the actual object?
The details on the left-hand building are very well rendered, its a shame the clouds and the other building have been rushed.

Anyways. I can see you've opted for the pencil medium, which doesnt have do, but in this case looks a bit dull. It tends to be like that when you are not dealing with different tones. Whenever I draw buildings from life, I like to bring a little box of watercolours, just to bring some life into the drawing and to complement the heavy linework. Also consider using ink instead.

You also need to look at your perspective a bit more. Right now all the lines look a bit too parallel to each other. Try to remember that each axis should converge to a common vanishing point, even though its not visible on the drawing space.

You should also consider looking into composition. Right now theres a great load of details occupying the bottom side generally. The buildings also cut very awkwardly with the borders which makes it very unpleasant for the eye to view.

Other than that, I might be wrong but you are using a ruler right now. Try to do it free hand to get your hand muscle memory going.

These are all some good concepts to consider. I can understand you probably a beginner and haven't been drawing for a long time, which is ok. There's a long road ahead, we've all been there - It's just about how hard you are ready to work.

Practice makes perfect

>>2221558
I like some of these. My advice is to not waste time with the simpler ones but try and refine your skill with different angles and more complex heads.

>>2221423
Yes I drew them at the park. And it looks rushed on the other half becuase my legs felt like they had needles in them no matter how I folded them. That's why I had to stop earlier than I wanted to.

I really want to start using watercolors that's for sure. I like the landscapes that Anthony holden makes using really loose and brightly colored water colors and pens and eventually want to be able to draw like that. But right now I only know how to use a pencil.

Interesting note about the ruler too. I never thought of it that way. It will be good to practice using my whole arm and line stability. I'll give it a go with the next drawing. Thanks.

>>2221759
If you're interested in landscape sketching with watercolours, I definitely recommend you to look into urban sketching. These are people that do not necessarily take their longest time to perfect each detail until it looks fully realistic, but rather to catch the moment in a very loose manner.

Using Photoshop in itself is a skill
Your drawing is pretty good but your lines are a little rough in places they don't need to be, for example the lips and around the face. The thumbnail looks great.
Take your time anon and lighten your grip.

Fine.

My excuse is I'm doing at all from the head trying to understand what I've learned, as well as I'm using digital for the first time so to worry about mistakes so much.

I looked at picture's of her online while drawing this, so I'm not too proud.

But since I only used a normal pencil and eraser, I am proud of how I managed to get the shading to blend in well.

>>2229118
>>2229118
Right looks significantly better. I'm not an expert, but I'd recommend that you darken the following areas:
-The entire drawing except for the tip of the nose. I don't know if this is true, but body parts that are closer to you seem to be lighter while the ones further from you are darker (if the lightsource is coming from above). It might seem like a tall order, but if you can make the tip of the nose seem brighter than the rest of the drawing, you might like it.

-The throat area underneath the chin could use some additional shading to make it darker.

-Sides of the forehead and sides of the nose could use some very additional bits of shading to make them slightly darker

These should (hopefully) set you on the right path. I'm in the process of learning these things right now and I think I have understood the things I just told you well enough to pass that info to someone else.

But above all, don't take my advice if you're not willing to experiment. I could be wrong.

Trying to digital paint.

Listening to Mac demarco and cramming for art history tomorrow, drew this in between

Fucked up the face but I think the body looks alright

More Statue Study

Not really a 1 hour one but I did do this in the last hour...

>>2229172
Wtf did it flip >__>

Trying to paint the MGSV I wanted to play

The sketchbook I never post online, until now

Did this study after Rubens' Satyrs. I focused mostly on the cheek/eyes/nose area and trying to retain the sinister feeling.

makin' yoji shinkawa proud, dude

could do without the annoying texture, though

Friend gave me a fucking awful idea so I did it

Sorry for the webcam pic of a sketch

Don't post here often but I've drawn since I was a kid.
I don't have the best discipline and my anatomy is all over the place, but I freehand everything.

Can you guys give me some places to start really getting better? I have no problem with getting ideas but following through I have issues with

God damm, thats good. How long did it take, you still working on it?

>>2229595
It took maybe 1-23 hours, I'm not sure. I don't keep track of how long I work on pictures. It was more an experiment with color since I am not very experienced with it so this is the most I'm going to do with it

>>2229576

>>2220182
>but given your level if you are drawing each day for a few hours you will see some improvement.
Not him but what do you mean by this?

Hey, different guy here, and I'll try to give you some pointers.

Keep in mind I'm not great, but I think I can help give you an idea.

1. Keep cool, remember where you are. You are on both an anime imageboard AND an artistic community. Don't be naive when it comes to comments.

2. Proportion is important, be mindful when you draw, I know you can tell the difference. As you are studying Loomis, do what he says in regards to drawing skeletons, as I think you didn't use one. I understand they are boring, but they help you understand.
Main spots of trouble are torso width, leg size and footsies.

3. If you want to practice shading, I'd recommend working with grey rather then colour, I find it easier to tell the difference.

4. Look into Bridgman or Hampton, they break down anatomy into a more visually simple method.

5. Even when you are just practicing try to do the most you can to render good general forms (i.e skull shape, abdomen, etc.). They don't have to be good, but try to be more accurate, this will help in the long run.

6. Keep practicing boyo, and the work will all pay off.

I understand I'm no exemplar, but I hope it helps.

Great anime!

Have you never heard the saying 'practice like you'll play?'

If you shit it up, ever, because 'so what, just a little thing,' it's reflected when you try hard. Always give it your best effort. Always. In sports, in art, doesn't matter. Fucking faggot, don't make excuses for yourself. If you ever start a response to critique with something like 'But,' or 'Just,' or any phrase to take ownership of failure off your shoulders you're only short changing yourself.

It's hard. I do it. Everyone wants to do it. But when you're called out for it, don't keep barreling down the path of ignorance like a retarded bull.

Steps to get gud:

Practice hard, always

Learn from every failure

You're not doing either of those, so straighten the fuck up or get the hell out of my board. I, and everyone here, will hammer this into you, because even a hobby deserves respect.

So toughen up, and stop phoning it in because you're afraid of failure, or else you'll always be one.
