Being a huge weaboo, my New year's resolution was to draw weeb to draw everyday. I've never drawn before but I've been able to follow my resolution so far. But I'm still far from being good, so if y'all can offer some help that'll be useful. Currently trying to get good at faces. Attached is a doodle I did like a few weeks ago

The shoulder and the arm connecting from it are thin (noticibly) and possibly slightly too long but almost unnoticablyou so. Maybe look at some posing so you can get the back-into-butt to look a bit more natural.

What ever you want draw (anime or etc)draw real person first, that's a great practice, drawing from life or photo ref what ever something(but before draw a box or non human thing first for month)
There are many resource you can learn art I recommend vilppu if you're on self learning

Good luck

Of course everyone has drawn something before, but this year was the first time I've drawn with the intention to make it look good and to improve. All the drawings I've done as a kid stopped at like 5 or something

>> No.2561077

>>2561069
It doesn't matter if I believe you or not. (You always learn). There are no prodigies in art, only hard work. Example: You don't learn how to draw a photo realistic human from imagination without first having studied the anatomy or how the light falls. The thing is that some just done those things naturally in their past while others needs to make a conscious choice to do so.

People who believe in talent or care about time spend learning the craft are usually the ones who are not going to make it. It's a great attention tool on the gullible though. You could easily get stuck at the point you are now like so many before you if you start believing in that shit.

I'm still a beginner myself but I'd recommend to iterate A LOT. Don't try to do pretty drawings (or not too much at least), for example if you feel like you're having troubles with something then draw it over and over again while changing something every time until you start drawing things you start liking.

Of course as others said you should study properly too. I recommend 'Hampton - Figure Drawing'.

As even more of a beginner than you OP, I can't give you any help but could you help me by giving a bit more information about your progression? I'm really liking your drawings especially since you say you've never drawn before.

How did you start? What kinds of things did you initially learn? How much drawing and what kinds of drawing do you do each day?

You wouldn't happen to have some of your stuff from earlier in the year would you? I'd really like to see some of your progression. I don't have a very trained eye for artsy stuff yet but the stuff you posted looks ace to me.
