Good work OP

d11 dying
why does imagination suck so badddd

Quick sketch from imagination. Actually done to try new brush.

Day 9

my proportions are still wonky.

http://humanae.tumblr.com/random
Here's a quick link to a photo of a random face for practice. It's useful for if you want to try different facial structures. Though a major con is that all the photos are front facing.

Day 4

>>2771092
nice, shame about the con, still super useful

>>2771192
is that a guy or a girl?

day 12

day 12 major fail

day 13 still fail

>>2770601

Good construction. Good values. Good nose. Dat jawline.

>>2770653

Should use simple brushes. Don't try to paint with masses unless you really understand those masses. You'll just spend forever pushing paint blobs around. Good way to waste a lot of time. Do more lines!

>>2770656

You're drawing shapes, not forms. Need to draw forms for the drawing to be good. Prescription is to leave off photos for a while and draw from life a lot more. Draw your hand a lot - that will teach you fast.

>>2771084

Appeal = good. Don't fake the ears! Very unclear where light source is - if you're gonna render it, gotta know that.

>>2771192

You're not going to learn much using a washed out photo like that. You need light that defines the forms if you want to learn the forms.

>>2771523

More Loomis.

>>2771583

You're rendering too soon. Don't try to figure out the color, lighting, and drawing all at once. Richard Schmid can paint alla prima bc he's been doing it for 50 years, but you should break it down into steps.

>>2771588

good values

>>2771684

cute. would be cuter if you figured out the neck/trapezius/shoulder a little more.

>>2770496
i dont quite understand whats off...

>>2771834
it goes into her pussy obviously

day 4

>>2771833
>You're rendering too soon. Don't try to figure out the color, lighting, and drawing all at once. Richard Schmid can paint alla prima bc he's been doing it for 50 years, but you should break it down into steps.

Thanks for the crit. I'm still trying to figure out a workflow for color that I can feel comfortable with. Once I get past the initial lay-in phase, all confidence evaporates.

>>2771840
Dean...?

starting today.

just started this but already getting very frustrated

>>2771583
days 13 and 14

>>2770653
Half from refs. You can guess which from my fucked imagination.
Damn faces, why it's so hard.

>>2771833
>Should use simple brushes. Don't try to paint with masses unless you really understand those masses. You'll just spend forever pushing paint blobs around. Good way to waste a lot of time. Do more lines!

It's pretty simple brush actually. But whatever only hard round today.
Lines are boring and I don't like to draw in lines. Also my lines relatively okay, at least from common angles.

>>2770496
day ????

>>2772593
From imagination?

>>2770496
Day 1 for HeTechy just started drawing humans

>>2772614
PLz help

>>2772607
no

>>2772395
are you drawing what you see or using construction?

>>2772620
Forget about drawing the face and just work on your construction, cause you're obviously not constructing your face properly (if at all)

>>2772661
Question are you an actual critique or do you think you're one, if you are one can you post work?

>>2772669
it does not matter if they are an actual critique there advice is right

>>2772671
their*

>>2772669
Don't give me none of this. Look at your two constructed heads (on the left), then look at the ones from loomis before cleanup. Work on your construction.

>>2772674
>Question are you an actual critique or do you think you're one, if you are one can you post work?

>>2772728
sketch a quick doodle of a bunny

>>2772730
>>2772669
Why are you questioning people who are trying to help you?
How defensive can you get, fuck.

not so pleased with this one

>>2772657
Sort of both. I usually start with construction, determine face features and then paint and try to see proportion mistakes or features misplacement and fix is via warp transform.

>>2772844
Don't you feel like that's kinda cheating?

>>2772857
Different anon, not at all. Though he would be a better artist if he learned to do it all by hand in the first try instead of having to warp it around to fix mistakes.

>>2772874
Seems like its one step above just tracing

>>2772857
No, why should I feel so? Should I just delete it and draw from the scratch if there is mistake?
I'm glad I ever see these mistakes and can fix it at all. Not always though.

>>2772874
I want to learn to do it correctly in first try but I can't. Though I use warp less often and for rather minor fixes. I used to, like, select the whole head and reduce vertical size cuz proportions was so fucked.

>>2772879

A different anon

It's just moving things around and theres a limit to how much you can reshape your drawing. It's much easier and faster to re draw if it's fucked. It's not a one click fix it all. It just made things more convenient.

Also drawing on a screenless tablet is different from pencil / pen on paper. I can draw a decent face on paper and my hand can move freely while changing the way I hold the pencil. It's impossible to do the same on a tablet.

day 14 fail

>>2771840

>>2772730
>>2772669

false flag 100%, gang you should know better

>>2772951
Love how distinct your style is.

>>2771833
who do you think you are judging my sh*t ??

>>2773155
faggot

>>2772395
Don't remember day. Imagination again and again making fun from that brush.

>>2773195
>>2772395
forgot pic

>>2772251
day 2

>>2773197
Not sure what the ref for the one on the right was, but I repainted it to give you an idea of how to make it more realistic.
The forms on yours look a bit rough and blocky- I think you need to work on blending and on recognizing forms in general.

>>2772251
>>2773198
Pretty nice looking my man

>>2773274
Whew, I'm gonna try something like that.
There was no ref for recognizing form and I'm still bad at do it from memory.
Thanks for feedback and overpaint.

>>2773197
>>2773274
Am I getting closer?

after 30 day head challenge let's do a 30 day daily full figure challenge

>>2773467
would be pretty cool if this became an ongoing thing with a different topic every month, lots of possibilities there.

>>2773467
sounds like a good idea

>>2773386
getting closer!

day 15

analysis first, then from imagination

>>2773155

Only trying to spread the good (You)s anon.

>>2772614
Day 2 for HeTechy just started drawing humans

>>2773826
i recommend drawing with a higher resolution- at least 2500 pixels in either direction.

>>2772996

>>2772264
day 15

Day 1 bled into Day 2 because of work, and won't be finished because of work... So just going to start Day 2 tonight and leave this the fuck alone.

>>2771084
>>2771833

>Appeal = good. Don't fake the ears! Very unclear where light source is - if you're gonna render it, gotta know that.

Thanks for the crit, m8. Tried to be more consistent with the lighting this time around and put more form into the ears but I'll have to practice it more. Day 10

>>2774950
wtf, here's the file.

day 16

not feeling good today, kinda down and depressed about my art which is rarer these days but tends to happen at that time of the month :/

analysis ..not sure if this helps, I think post-critique is probably better

Today, random imagination stuff. Don't really like cartoonish/disney styles but it was kinda fun.

>>2775309
The cartoonish style is the most interesting thing in that picture, while also the least detailed. Your art could use some varying line weight, because everything else looks so boring

>>2775075
Pretty good. Ear seems slightly off place.
Don't be afraid to add more values to the face itself, highlight the shape of the features.

>>2775319
>detailed and complicated art (things I will never be able to do) is boring and vain
>simpler art (things i might be able to do one day because i can't yet) is the best and most interesting!

Seems like you show up everytime this guy posts something. Would you please redline and improve his stuff or show us your work ?

>>2775319

>>2775309
The details in the old man are really nice, same with the women and the bald folks. I personally like everything except the cartoony stuff (still nice, not my taste).

day 17 imagination

feeling better
but damn why do I still suck at this

also does anyone wanna start that daily figure thread? itching to start, I feel like I should be able to do figures and heads daily

>>2775730

Stop fishing for compliments

>>2775309

from imagination? fuark....:( how long have you been studying? I feel like you understand the forms of the head really well, very jelly. do you use structural lines etc underneath?

>>2775737
>I feel like I should be able to do figures and heads daily
Whoa pal, slow down there. Not all of us are as amazing as you.

>>2775737
Let's do it!!!!

>>2775738

lol fuck off, you don't know me.

if I was fishing for compliments I'd be posting on FACEBOOK not 4CHAN

jesus fucking christ

>>2775740

how is it amazing to do figures and heads daily?

wes burt was figure drawing 7 hours a week on top of all of his schooling and other drawing stuff

>>2775738
it's not fishing for compliments if it's true

>>2775737
wait till this is over ffs

>>2775757
but... everyone starts at different times

>>2774333
day 16

>>2775770
we're not even half way

>>2773911

>>2774954
Still struggling with lips and playing catch up. :/

>>2775781
The texture on this is REALLY nice, mind if I ask what your settings and texture are?

>>2776605
Shoot, I had a tutorial awhile back that suggested breaking the mouth down into shapes. Can't find it, but take some time to look at mouths and try breaking them down into circular forms, maybe? This is crude as heck, but something like that is how I was taught to break them up.

lost track of days

>>2770496
""I drew anthropom0rphique Sonic but it came out mediocre

>>2776957
oh nosebro

>>2775781
day 17

>>2776608
it's just a soft grain filter. if you're referring to the texture of the brushstrokes, it's due to the watercolor brush in manga studio.

>>2774333
>>2775075
>>2775309
>>2775730
>>2777016
Photos hope or Sai

Which one is gay and which is one superior for painting?

>>2777016
>>2777098
i've not used sai, but you can't go wrong with photoshop.

>>2777016
Mind sharing your brush setting if they're not the default? I hating painting in mangastudio but I might give it another whirl.

>>2774747
Should I still post shit if I don't finish? Day 2 and 3 came out wrecked and show how little I know about painting and color, but I used blurry photos both days because I'm a dumb-ass.

>>2777223
here you go. i use a second version of that brush for blending where amount and density of paint are dropped down to 0 and 10 respectively.

>>2776622
Thanks, anon. I'll give that a try and put it into practice.

>>2777136
What did you use for this picture?

>>2777398

See
>>2777243
>>2777016

>>2777401
But I hate manga studio

>>2777402
Is there any way to calibrate photoshop brushes to like manga brushes.

I tried but all I gets is chalk and pencil

Does this count?

>>2775739
>do you use structural lines
Oh yeah sure, if I want to make a decently realistic head I almost always use the 5 basic lines, hair/eyebrows/nose/chin and center line. If i want to make a stylized head i don't use them.

I don't do studies at all, been wanting to recently but they're just boring as fuck. On the other hand, I do "study" or analyze every fucking head I see and i strongly advise you to do it too. exactly like this >>2775077 but in your head. everytime you watch a movie for example or even talk to someone. and that sticks to you. Hell i saw so much of christian bale's nose from batman I know it perfectly.

>>2777098
if you mainly do line art, then 100% mangastudio or sai over Ps, manga studio is also 100% better than sai though. you can really paint well in manga studio, but Ps has more "options" i guess.

>>2775737
I try to jump in every time there are those figure invention threads. Where someone posts boxes to adhere to representing the rib cage and pelvis. More of those sorts of threads would be cool.

d18 imagination

>>2777557

I'm realizing I need to do that sort of analysis more, I have a hard time doing it in my head and remembering it. I doodled mindlessly for years so now I'm trying to fix my brain's misconceptions? I don't know.

my heads from imagination don't come out close to yours. I will keep practicing though. thanks for posting and replying.

also d18 but hardly worth posting

>>2777557

PS, I know you probably want to be anonymous, but is there anywhere I could see more of your artwork? thanks in advance.

>>2777614

yeah I'd like to start a 30 day figure thread, just don't know if i'll get shit on because there's this one going on too

>>2773826
No Imagination

santa?

>>2777557
I've seen your other work around here as well as that progress pic you posted, breddy good lines and solid stuff m8. Keep it up!
>>2777700
Maybe it's just me but the neck on the left one seems weird. Aside from that, lookin' good.
>>2777966
use refs my boy + practice perspective and form building exercises like building basic shapes (cubes, spheres, cones, etc) in different angles and connecting them or passing them through one another. That'll help you a whole lot in constructing everything from imagination.
>>2778452
dope lighting. The dude looks like a homeless mall santa to me for some reason.

>>2777536
It's a lot of kek, so yes, it count.

>>2777717
It's not like there's a reason we can't have both going at the same time. I mean, the ones who want to only do the head challenge aren't forced to post in the figure thread or can join in any time they feel like it if these threads become long running activities and not just a one-time thing.

>>2775847
playing catch up here. work sucks

>>2777016
day 18

>>2777098

from ref thread

>>2778487
necks look way too long.

>>2778941
Yeah. Saw it right after i posted. And it has an unnatural bend too.

>>2777966
What am I doing wrong?

>>2778702
the lips on the one on the left don't look like they wrap around her face, the lip area is rounded, pic related. hers could practically be the lips of someone looking straight forward.

study lips at 3/4 angle.

>>2778487
creepy baby

>>2779359
your understanding of the underlying structure of the head is lacking, and you're not placing the features of the face along the form of the head.

if i were you i would practice building the head up using basic box forms, focusing on the planes of the head (check the image in OP -- that kind of stuff) rather than facial features.

>>2778565
day 19

>>2778702
Refs, still suck after that amount of studies

>>2780287
one more

This is some pleb challenge, I'll draw 30 head in 1 day. You fucking lazy pricks.

>>2780842
>I'll draw 30 head in 1 day.
go ahead boi
we are waiting

WHERE IS EVERYONE...LET'S GO!!

weird analysis stuff before drawing from imagination..trying to fix my bad proportion and structural habits fuckk

day 20

Anybody feel like going through the effort of a process video?
Better yet, does anyone already have one or know of a good video?

>>2779654
What brush?

>>2781367
For what? Drawing a head... do you want a tutorial or just videos of people painting? I can post a few, but none of them are digital.

>>2781371
Just a video of people painting, i wanna see how people start off a portrait study and how it finishes

>>2781372
that could be cool -- lots to learn in terms of workflow and process.

thanks anon. interesting stuff.

>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU4CwrT8IKY&feature=youtu.be

wish they would have slowed down and shown the layers/blending modes.

>>2781391
I told you before: forget about the features and work on your basic construction. You're placing the facial features almost at random, most likelly because you still need to develop a solid understanding of the underlying form of the head.

>>2781426
Shucks, I used to have a tutorial that explained going from grayscale to color in digital painting and I can't find it.

These may give you an idea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1KAfxC6JN4

This one is a little hit-or-miss, but there's some good suggestions:

Like this senpai

>>2781445

most people aren't just doing this, you fucking moron. it's my daily warm-up right now lol

>>2781445

Yes, because depingo or any other successful artists didn't make it by doing little challenges for themselves etc.

Oh, wait.

Can someone please tell me how to fucking paint?

>>2781788
I like proko, he mansplain loomis real good

>>2781280
Hey this is pretty cool

>>2781837
Will I make it or should I quit and go back to league of legends?

why does my construction feel so off

>>2781876
Because there is none, friendo. Watch Proko video on Loomis method.

this one turned out better i guess

>>2775319
disagree.
I think there is a cohesive style in his art. not boring. lots of character.

>>2781881
I'm pretty shit and I probably shouldn't be redlining anyone so this might be off. Feel free to correct me if anyone else has the time. Anyways this is what stood out to me.

Also try to use a brush with pressure sensitivity and work on your lines.

>>2782050
and I forgot the redline, of course.

>>2781994
that neck is superr thick

>>2782050
>>2782052
thanks for the redline but i just scraped it and moved on to the other one. i think my problem was that i drew the lines off the elipse at the wrong angle so the cheekline got messed up too.

>>2782066
kek i noticed that. i just suck at necks and finding the insertion.

day 21 imagination

>>2782102

>>2782135
no it doesnt

>>2782152

>>2781876
10th day, I call this one jamal

>>2782497
Look into the Hampton book too, Figure Drawing: Design & Invention. That may help you with proportions.

>>2782135
>>2782102
I can't help but agree.
It really does look like Michael Jackson, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

>>2782162
couldnt unsee so i made a quick paintover

>>2782623
Now it looks like lord farquaad

>>2782135

Ya I'm struggling with male facial proportions, noses, and rendering eyes.i know.trying to fix.

Still trying to work around shading.
It's just going to look like she has mud on her face anyways.

day 22 ref

god damn it i think i might almost even as to really blew it. the nose part is start to look off and it looks even worse when i flip the canvas. it could i looks like it might be an issue with where her right eye is place but then that means everything is fucked which is unfortunate because i think she has potential to be cute

>>2783346
try doing construction instead of drawing straight on from observation. eyes are a tad too close together, her left eyebrow is a bit low, and look at the ear levels, her right ear is a bit high.

I like to draw emma w too, her face is really pretty much perfect, so it's frustrating when I end up drawing her with my shitty skills. hope it helps.

Well, I successfully made her look like a coal miner.

>>2770496

>>2781014
lost a day to being a piece of shit. ill make it up later

>>2782718
3d.sk has a bunch of resources that break up body parts into categories, although after looking at their site again, their search function has gotten a little restricted. You can still put in "nose" in the search bar and get a ton of references if you want to practice.

Can't wait to see this painted.

you have a case of sameface. especially noses and overall features. try to vary something, make the eyes closer or wider set, lips thinner or thicker, nose a different shape etc.

Last page completed.

can someone please critique? just rip it up.

And tried a more comicish style, with nick fucking Fury.

Resized and hopefully rotated

tried to do a sunny lighting scenario. for some reason i didnt start with a drawing so proportions are kinda fucked, i was focusing more on colors. do they look right?

Day 1

>>2789115
head is too wide and not long enough, the one of the eyes is sideways and the other is too way too low (and it's sideways too). the nose and mouth are sideways too.

is this what people look like to you?

>>2789196
I was good with the critique but the stab at how I view people was a bit harsh. Chill. It was just a sketch anyway.

>>2789204
seriously, if you view people this way then you should get some glasses or corrective surgery or something. it's almost like you drew her sideways for some reason.

which ones looks better?

left for colors right for shadow values and hair block-in

D1

>>2789806

Try and find something in between, I'd say take the right and add some of the brighter values of the left for highlights. The colours on the right in general are a downgrade.

Bill Perkins assignment. 30 min timer. i need to get faster

>>2792419
The problem here isn't speed, anon. The timer is only there to stop you noodling around. At this point you shouldn't be worried about rendering or even getting a likeness, it's not something anyone will achieve in 30m.
You should be focused on breaking down your light and shadow masses into clear shapes with good value separation between them, then you can get on to fixing those edges. You have areas in shadow that are lighter than your light halftones, and edges in form shadows that are harder than cast shadows.

yeah don't worry about speed SERIOUSLY...........it's a TRAP....

FOCUS instead...don't worry about time.....FOCUS ON THE PROCESS

thanks...deffo not as good as that guy, but i appreciate the compliment>>2790554


>>2790554
hey your forms are pretty good, that nose is killer. but your edges are killing your paintings. soften soft edges (hair,cheeks, similar values, eyelashes, tiny details, eyes)

it makes a huge difference because our eyes IRL can't focus on so much detail at once.

richard schmidt has a good chapter on them

Thanks for the tips. So I tried again trying to focus more on clearer value separation. Timer got me again. It's hard to take focus off of the timer. Maybe it's affecting my decisions. Why does Bill say it's very important to stop after the timer and start anew if I haven't finished by then? I feel like I could just continue from here without a time limit and nail down the values more.

TURN OFF THE TIMER PLS

in music, tempo is the last thing we work on.
in art, how fast you go is the last thing you work on

i dont know who this bill guy is but stop listening to that. use your common sense. you can't nail the values with a timer

if it takes ten hours to get the values right just DO IT until you understand them

>>2792870
I think the point is to get you to simplify things and work in bigger shapes, instead of getting bogged down by details or trying to get a likeness. It's just an exercise for getting you comfortable with values, not about painting a good portrait. You should still finish your painting if you like how it's going, it's just not what this 30 min exercise is about. You've got a good result, though, clearer values, nicer edges and better looking shapes.

If you're having trouble with the timer it can either mean that you're getting your values wrong and spending too much time going back to fix things, or that you're focusing too much on details. It might help if you have a clear plan before starting the painting. Draw a small thumbnail sketch and and break it down into big shapes and value masses - do it in 4 or 5 values at most, then use that as a guide for your painting. Work big, fill out the entire canvas, and only then start going in on those details. It's not a big deal if your values are a little off compared to the reference as long as the relationships between them make sense. If you look at Bill's demo it's not a particularly accurate portrait, but the values are well-defined and it reads well.

I know how tough these can be at first, but stay calm and work at your normal pace. You're doing great anon, you'll get them eventually.

>>2792847
thanks for the crit! i'll work on softening the appropriate edges.

regarding richard schmidt: i'm guessing you're referring to a chapter in alla prima? i'll dig through it.

Again, thanks for the tips anons.

>If you're having trouble with the timer it can either mean that you're getting your values wrong and spending too much time going back to fix things

This is definitely true. I think I just need more focused practice to fix that issue. My values often get muddy, so I'll keep doing these studies with and try to focus on the value separation, shapes, and edges. Also I wont worry about time as much. Just need to focus on the actual aspects of the study.

Anyway I went further with that last one because it was fun, and I'm done studying for the day. Thanks again anons. I don't post much so your tips have been very helpful.

>>2792870
I recognize that NMA class, I remember that you're not supposed to mix the values at least not that much, I would go as far as to recommend to not use pen pressure at all or use acrylic or oils as he does in the videos

thanks for the feedback guys

Looks pretty solid to me. Only thing I'd say is maybe the jaw fell a little low in the back.

>>2772395

The two on the right and the one in the bottom middle? These look great though! Only thing is you do what most of us do and make the near eye too big/ exaggerate the perspective.

>>2772593
Gorgeous.

>>2772614
Draw the skull under your face. You'll notice that the girl's eyes are floating.

>>2772951
This is great! I'd say her left eye is creeping forward a bit but I can see nice facebones otherwise.

>>2775730
Just curious what you think sucks

>>2793327
fuck me today was bad. oh well. hopefully tomorrow goes better

>>2770496
does it look like one of those paintings you know started with greyscale?

>>2794727
kinda. shadows look pretty good but the lit parts look flat and muddy.

I always lose interest in these. Feels bad man.

happy new year!

>>2797452

>>2797515
why.

>>2798278
why not?

OP here. participation has fallen off, so i won't make a new thread once this one dies. if anyone wants to keep going, feel free to start it up again.
