/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

All I care about is drawing good porn. Are portrait studies really going to help? Should I jump right into Hampton's figure drawing books, or? What's r he optimal path for someone like me?

any critiques are helpful

>>2838635
There is no optimal path. If you want to draw porn, draw porn.

Figure drawing courses help. Hampton is good and easy to understand, but no requirement to draw porn. Find out what works for you and show some initiative.

is it better to solo grind or watch lectures for example vilppu

>>2838635
Portrait studies are not important all, jump to figure drawing.
At a later point portraits do aid in learning to draw different faces.

finaly done.......

posting what ive done so far from

still gotta finish the face/feet/hands. and maybe push the reflections a bit but i like how it looks simplified

I fucking hate boxes, I'm fucking tired of them.

The most important thing to be able to draw well is the cube.
t. Kim Jung Gi

I heard there's a version of right side of brain without all the pseudo-science, where can I get one?

>>2838806
You, when you draw a box, do you draw it with "one line" like A, or with multiple lines like B?

>>2838809
What an odd question.
It doesn't matter at all if the result is the same.

>>2838813
yeah, well, I was wondering if one way is superior for getting better results more often.

>>2838814
Try whatever and just do what you find easiest/more comfortable.
You don't need to overthink stuff like that.

>>2838814
if you aren't drawing your cubes with your toes, you're literally never making it

>>2838815
>>2838817
How many fucking hours should it take to learn to draw a square and a cube? I've been doing these for like 15hours and I'm sick of it.

>>2838818
You shouldn't think of things as "I should be able to do x in y amount of time".
Just work at it until you're satisfied enough to move on to something else.
You can always come back to it later.

Reposting from the last thread.

Can any of you Clip Studio Paint pros give me a hand here?

I'm looking for a brush for shading similar to the one used by Megumi Mizutani here (specially check the hat), if you know of anything in those brushes packs or anything, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Loomis told me I don't need to be able to draw a straight line, and drawabox told me I need to, which is it?

>>2838769
the eye-lid (no pun intended) look like it's a bit too high up, like if it closed it wouldn't be in alignment with the other side of the face

>>2838839
Me.

>>2838761
>>2838823

Loomis is a fucking weird book. Does he only teach you to draw in his style? What's the point of loomis? He teaches construction, I get it, but he teaches it so weirdly.

>>2838853
He teaches fundamentals, you can adjust it to whatever style you want

>>2838856
so, essentially, I should ignore his little cartoon men and use the exercises to do whatever I care myself to do?

>>2838853
Did you miss the 20 fuckign repeated lines where he tells you not to copy his characters but to make your own, based on the ideas he introduces?

There is that one little exercise where you draw the portrait of that mascot guy in fun with the pencil and thats it.

>>2838827
Dude, it just like a large square bush with some transparency.

>>2838860
that's correct, the first time i did some exercises with animu style just for fun.

>>2838863
>tfw remeber having struggled so bad on that imagination exercise that I just moved on
Loomis trying to bring me down like Proko

I drew from reference and also did an absolutely clueless attempt at some perspective exercizes

no head because I got tired and also forgot to leave enough space for it

crit please

>>2838901
and here's the reference

>>2838901
besides the hand it looks good

>>2838835
Ask yourself: who will be a stronger artist, someone who can draw a straight line or who can't? Always better to have more tools in your kit

>>2838946
Aww, i thought the hand was good, or at least way better than the previous hands I've drawn. What's the issue exactly?

also I noticed I drew the left upper arm too short whoops

>>2838949
Yea, but it probably isn't important enough that i should prioritoze it juts yet. A lot more important things to learn.

>>2838949
I wonder more whether it is actually practical and necessary.

I think I will trade in playing videogames for drawing exercises. Every time I get the urge to play them, I should just make myself practice something.

I have all the books. Guess I should start with the first chapters of right side and then move on to Keys.

>>2838804
Why are you drawing so many boxes? Form isn't the only important factor in art

I'm looking for a picture with /ic/ recommended book reading order, I lost mine and can't find it anywhere.

>>2838963
I did keys to drawing and thought of doing drawabox or loomis, and /ic/ told me to do drawabox first so I learn to draw shapes before doing loomis which uses shapes.

Was drawabox some meme and am I the only sucker who considers doing it?

>>2838966
What the heck is this drawabox thing? Is it an artist or a site?

>>2838968
It's a site, haven't you read the fucking pastebin? What the fuck are you even doing, shitposting all day?

>>2838975
What pastebin? I only see a google doc that I can't open.

>>2838980
Ah,oops, that's what I meant.
Why can't you open it?

>>2838984
I don't know. I get some weird error. I guess I have to do something with my browser, I will do that later and look through the sticky.

>>2838985
it lags to shit on mine and my pc is pretty good. try opening it in another browser

>went through perspective made easy over a few comfy nights
>never did anything similar again
recommend me comfy books

are boxes and ovals the /ic/ equivalent of squats and oats?

It's been a week + is this good progress, what should I do. I bought "Keys to Drawing" and I've gone through a couple pages. Any advice?

>>2838950
In my opinion the digits look too long, but don't take my word for it.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can anyone maybe recommend me sites where i can make own t-shirts, mugs, things like that so I can sell? :/

>>2839135
I don't have experience as a seller in any of them, but I've bought stuff from Cafepress, Redbubble and Spreadshirt and they were all good, so you might look into those.

>>2839059
"I've been hitting the gym this week, any progress on my biceps?"

Good job on starting, now do all the exercises you can find for beginners without asking for feedback every 5 mins

>>2839157
Since we are talking about that, how they look bro?

>>2838625
Trying to get through last parts of RSB, do I really need to buy ink and brushes if it's just for those quick lessons?

>>2839163
mirin'

>>2838850

Stop using this unless you want to stay shit.

>>2839164
Not really. But inking is fun though.

Holy shit

this is intense

>>2838626
An attempt was made.

Posted this in sketchbook thread but Ill put it here for critiques

Didn't really spend any time on construction on this one so didn't capture the likeness well. Just quickly sketched the face so I can try inking out. First time trying ink drawing.

How do you use construction in copying a portrait from a photo? I always though it would be more important to look for the way the lines flow instead of how the shapes are formed.

>>2839353
Why do people always have to say " first time doing this/that" Your work isn't impressive. Even if you think so.

>>2839243
lamp looks great

>>2839354
You want to do both.

>>2839358
I really don't think it's that impressive. It just is my first attempt at inking. I'm sorry if my use of language rustled your jimmies.

>>2839353
looks fine but work on likeness and observartion

>>2838761
neat

I dont get it, i have been making so many portraits and i still cant draw a decent face and head from imagination

>>2839358
It's one way to give yourself hope. You love drawing and you have this image in your head that you're somewhat good at it but reality is different. So they try to find excuse like "I didn't put enough effort on this." Happens to everyone one way or another. It's somekind of phobia. That irrational fear that you might not have any talent.

Or it could really be his first time doing it.

I used to have that fear but then I learn that all you have to do is work at it.

>>2839358
it's the same thing as people calling their art shit and stuff as if it'll repel anyone else from doing so and hurting their feeling

>>2839424
That's because you're not analyzing shape,forms, the underlying construction of your subject. There's a reason people call it studying. There's already tecnique like loomis head construction to use along with your studies.

Analyze, memorize, imitate and then create.

Or you disregard the fundamentals and do "muh feels" drawings...

>>2839163
Work on your face.

>>2839442
I dont know, I am thinking about what I am doing but I cant emulate loomis heads. Even when i am looking at them i cant do the same thing

>>2839445
kek

>>2839439
>implying
everything i draw is shit, sometimes i call it shit, other times i don't
i don't use it to "repel hurtful comments" i use it to describe that my picture is shit

What do you think?

>>2839532
sticky

Neat idea or stupid?

I am starting to think that loomis' book is not good at all

>>2839533
can't tell if that's positive or negative.

>>2839542
Read the fucking sticky, you retard.

Wait a moment, if I get into the starting picture does it mean that I'm bad enough to obviously be a beginner, or was I cherry picked to be in it because my post was decent?

Or it just was easy to fit the original next to without that much scaling.

>tfw I will never make it

>Tfw no significant results after 3 months

time to kill myself

>>2839621
you got the proportions right. sometimes it can be hard to make a new op where the pics are consistent with eachother since some people haven't finished keys or whatyever yet

i don't cherrypick (not anymore) anyway

>>2839627
>>2839625
Then give up, if all you'll do is whine and bemoan

>>2839627
>>2839625
>tfw it feels like every drawing is better than the last
it's a good feel desu

>>2839627
i started 13 months ago
and didn't go for very long at all
so i don't feel too bad about still being complete beginner retard now that i'm trying again

>>2839534
Coolio

>>2839536
Could you have drawn a head in perspective with reasonable form before loomis?

>>2839536
It's just guidelines. It's not some magic spell.

>>2839298

Nose looks like a tent from birds eye view.

>>2839627

Just go through past sketchbooks and realise that each one is better than the last. If its your first sketchbook; this will happen if you keep going.

>>2839283
What should I be focusing on right now?

Finally have time to do this. half way through see so many errors. Don't know if I should finish it...

>>2839536
proportion, proportion, proportion

>>2839742
>tfw don't even use sketchbooks
>just use xerox paper and stack them in a pile somewhere

What's the point when I apparently can't learn anything? My drawings are just as shit as they were a month ago. Look at this symbol drawn turd. I've read the sticky, gone through the books and did the exercises enough that I shouldn't be so shit. It doesn't matter how much work I put in, I'll just be shit anyway.

>>2839880
The point is to get you disciplined. Judging by your mindset, you're not there yet. So keep painting the fence until you are.

How do I not symbol draw if I'm drawing from imagination? There is nothing "really there" to draw

who else is never gonna make it?

>>2839899
Ignore the meme and just draw.

>>2838903
I couldnt get the mouth so I cheated and now I'm goin2 sleep

>>2839923
>smart enough to cheat
That ain't no beginner stuff. You're smarter than like 99% of the anon here.

>>2839880
That is actually not bad. You're close on the breakthrough. Please keep going!

>>2839928
>Says the beginner

>>2839880
it takes a lot of time and thoughtful practice to learn to draw, and sometimes when you are actually improving it feels the most painful. u can give up if you want but you have barely scratched the surface, maybe you need to approach differently/rethink how you are working and what resources you take from. anyway if you can see what you're doing wrong then go implement the changes until you get it right. i recommend trying to isolate the elements of a human figure until you can describe form -> draw 15 eyes, render a couple, ears, noses, hands, feet, etc until you feel like you are ready to approach a full figure, because honestly it looks like your drawing is done way too quickly/without enough details

>>2839899
the most imaginative work uses reference from life. so basically keep drawing new and different things until you have cemented in your mind what shapes there are. if you have an idea draw it out w/o reference but you can come back with reference and add a lot more to it.

>>2839534
I really fucking like this. Keep going with it!

>>2839993
>that rock texture under the railroad
H-how did you do that?

>>2839993
this nigga finna write a manga someday?

not a manga, but a comic one day

what happened to the figure drawing website
something.pixelsomething.com? something like that

>>2840011
I believe it's renamed to line of action

very helpful, previously i would just google "figure drawing" and i would recognize the site as the top result
interesting that the new website is still the top result

>>2840001
that looks really professional desu. everything form the lineweight to the rendering. the wooden blocks have cracks on their outline. good shit.

>>2839773
Finish it! The only thing I really see is the right eye (his left eye) seems a little too far over. It looks digital so that's an easy fix. Or just use this to practice drawing hair.

Are my faces funny yet?

>>2840061
not for the reason you think they are

>>2840064
honestly though, doing loomis is really hard after having been taught by shitty "how to draw animu" books as a kid, I hate my past self for believing those books.

welp heres a quick attempt at 30 sec gestures with pencil and paper. i cant even finish a bunch of these. do your worst

i'm working on this Psd file
this is some how cringe but i don't know why

>>2840061
no

>>2838623
morning warmup, came out quite shitty so im abandoning it

Only been drawing a week now but fucking hell I feel like I've found a hobby that I mindlessly love.
Liberating feeling shit is actually bringing me out of dark moods I've had for ages.

Why the fuck didn't they teach this shit in school instead of "colour in this page". Feel like this is natural catharsis for some people.

>>2838966
Just do the first 2 lessons of drawabox, you don't need anything afterwards. Don't do Fun with a Pencil

>>2840069
did a few more. at im finishing them this time. crits welcome

>>2839059
Get some proper clean paper to draw damnit, learn some discipline.
Otherwise yeah you are getting the hang of it.

what was that technique for creating equal segments of a set number in perspective? think it was loomis' but i cant find it in his books.

>>2840142
How To Draw

>>2840149
its not on the /loomis/ mega
got a link or can you just screenshot/explain it for me?

>>2838623
How shit is my version

besides the vanishing points and boxes. are there any other excercises I can do to better understand perspective? someone showed me this thing where you draw loops to foreshorten limbs but that wasn't very helpful.

im more interested in understanding how things go together and drawing it from memory than that one guy who draws like a god but can't draw without a reference.

>>2840160
dont know whether this will help

>>2840162
hey thanks, can you explain the arbitrary squiggles one? I dont what its trying to explain.

the cubes with 2 vanishing points I already know how to do, but the rest is new to me.

>>2840166
draw a flat squiggle of any shape. then contour it to turn it into a 3d form

Tried drawing using a mirror, any tips on how to not move around so much and all that greatly appreciated

>>2839542
holy shit you're retarded

What's wrong with fun with pencil?

>>2840183
its objectively perfect

>>2840193
well, not according to >>2840102
and I kinda doubt it's that good either.
Why is it so hard to get a straight answer from anyone in this thread?

Can someone post some action poses ? I want to get god at movement and foreshortening before i start focusing in more detailed features.

>>2840200

The thread is populated by beginners who are bitter, do not know what they are talking about, and the only other people who come in occasionally are just trolls giving you bad information and leaving bait.

Anyone who can draw and has information to give posts in the Draw Threads.

>>2840211
Then what the fuck even is the purpose of this place?

>>2840223
its containment
also its to say. "here are what people mean by fundamentals"

>>2840335
well, atleast it's motivating so I can get out of here as soon as possible and get into the normal threads

>>2840157

did you even try with the eyes?

>>2840170

this is not all so bad. You mostly understood the eye forms, and you probably got the likeness (idk).

The lips are hasty, the nose doesn't even make anatomical sense, the ear is very simplified, brow ridge doesn't make sense (surely if you're a dude it's going to have a ridge, right? it doesn't flow into the nose like that in 99% of white men), cheeks are somewhat an afterthought hair you kinda just treated as a single form instead of actually deconstructing the minor forms of strands at the very least.

The forehead doesn't quite make sense either. Very flat, should recess in more of a curved fashion.

>>2840349

that's like grinding in runescape so you can play higher level runescape. you're still stuck in a shithole

>>2840414
this board needs a purge
why do people think that just because this isnt physical its ok to be undisciplined

>>2840416
At least most shitters will spend a couple weeks in here and when they see no progress they'll just quit.
This thread serves its purpose as a containment thread for the retards who can't even be bothered to put even a little effort.

>>2840404
I'm still on KTD, so far it just says to sketch the overall shape, establish midpoint and centre lines. I did that, I just erased the midpoint and centre lines.

>>2840417
there should be a split into absolute /beg/ and /beg/. /intermediate/ too. the fact that those shitters share a thread with the likes of jezza is a shame.

>>2840422
IIRC there used to be an absolute beg thread but it eventually merged with the beg thread.
It's better this way imo, that way absolute beginners will at least get some criticism from people who are seriously getting into drawing and maybe some of them will actually gain something from this.

>>2838623

I always find myself rushing... and I don't know why, how do you guys stay calm and precise for long periods of time?

Can I learn how to draw using digital/tablet?

my desk isn't big enough for large paper etc.

>>2840519
>my desk isn't big enough for large paper etc.
Download "keys to drawing" and use a paper notebook / regular sheet

>>2840519
You don't really need huge pieces of paper to draw. It's easy to get by on a regular sketchbook desu. Digital kinda has its own learning curve, so if you're already learning how to draw it's likely you'll get overwhelmed.

Fair question desu

How my form lads

>>2840162
it wont

>>2840564
How do I get as smooth rendering as you?

>>2840577
Soft brushes, go to your brush settings and lower the hardness or even easier just make a big ol' soft brush with about 25% spacing.

Tried a first person sketch, what do you think lads

>>2840650
highly retarded post right here

>>2840641
I'm not angry or bitter, /ic/ is actually the best learning platform in terms of getting ready for real life people shitting on you. Having a thick skin is necessary for being a serious artist and knowing how to take critique, even ones shitting on you, is essential for progressing as an artist. You can take offense to comments or you can use them to fuel your learning. It's not all rainbows and unicorns, anon, even reddit would tear you a new asshole if you're bad.

>>2840665
I think you should redraw and make it cleaner. It looks cartoony.

>>2840350
Nope.

>>2840672
do you think it's the wonky lines or the fat outlines that makes it cartoony

>>2840651
Try instead of just making straight lines for shading forms, really try to actually go around them.

Ok thanks for that pic dude

this was one of the hardest faces i've ever attempted and after three hours i was polishing a turd so i scrapped it. fuck.

Congrats on trying anyway. You probably learned something from it.

I'm trying to study from portraits like this but I keep fucking up the left side of his face..

>>2840404
i don't know is the only answer i can muster
i suppose it would be wise to leave construction lines of all drawings i share

Taking a figure painting class. How did I do?

Does anybody have anything about trees? Specifically leaves? Or is that something I have to try to get right after several years of attempts too?

>>2840838
considering you spent way more time of the breasts than using your time to block in the hands and head...not well.

Don't be. For some people it can be really hard to break out of. Just remember to take your time and get your angles right.

trying hard to keep the proportions. sometimes, they just look wonky and i dunno how to fix it. mostly they seem fine.

but man i'm tired of seeing boxes lol

>>2841057
Glad that you see that drawing rectangular prisms is easier than drawing boxes because of proportions.

Also, it's been like a week. Don't you ever draw anything else?

>>2841060
Well, the proportions are better than last time and I'm learning. And I do, just nothing good. I'm also working my way through drawabox.com lessons, trying to build up a nice foundation. Sorry if it's boring.

>>2841062
Not that I'm not spending all day everyday doing this, I have a lot of uni work so it isn't like I've been drawing boxes for a week straight or anything.

>>2841062
It doesn't matter for me. It matters for you. The foundation is useless if you're not using it for anything.

>>2840885
hey thanks for that, this is great

>>2841066
I mean, I guess I could be drawing like streets and landscapes or something, maybe some blocky construction of things like bodies...but I haven't really studied anything on figure drawing yet.

worked on this over the weekend

>>2841083
Is this what you call leaving the construction lines in?

>>2841086
i guess so?
i just like them there to give me a sense of surface when i render

Why is this shit so hard to do with my shoulder? Half the time I notice that my wrist has taken over.

drawing with the shoulder is the comfiest feeling
it feels like there is no weight at all to any of my strokes so i can do whatever and it'll work out just fine

>>2841105
Ellipses are the hardest thing to do pretty much ever. It's not even a shoulder issue. You subconsciously switch to wrist probably because it feels like it has more control. I used to do three sheets of those each day, get my shoulder sore just for those gains. Although, I stopped doing that because screw practicing ellipses. I just draw from life nowadays.

>>2841107
Different guy

Is the pivot point for straight lines and curves the elbow or do I have to just try and engage my shoulder for all of them

>>2841109
You use whatever fits the situation. Shoulder allows wider range of motion, elbow is for more precise things, but in the end, you'll probably do it on reflex. It doesn't really matter how you do it as long as it comes out right. I think the answer to your question is yes because the concept is the same.

is this construction
am i constructing

>>2841120
No you didn't even construct the body

How are my lines

>>2840352
Great critique, drawing from a mirror was much harder than I'd thought since I would accidentaly change expression, angle & distance from the mirror constantly.

>>2841005
Post ref

>>2841142
clean but they lack weight and that makes it look like a simple vector drawing/tracing instead of a 3-dimensional drawing.

>>2840665
bretty gud.

>>2839360
Thank yuo

Critique? Should I bother to finish shading and adding to the background?

Underrated post. Giving you some love anon, proko would be proud.

>>2840964
needs more fetus

I feel like I'm still doing facial proportions wrong even though I'm following instructions. What am am doing wrong?

>>2841224
You're being too precise, faces aren't exact. Those are just guidelines. You need to combine it with sight drawing.

>>2841225
By sight do you mean life drawing from a model? I always get so hung up on proportions for some reason...

>>2841227
From sight, I mean from a reference. That could be a model in life or from an image off of google. If you're really so hung up on proportions, you'll really go crazy when drawing actual faces. The proportion control is very precise or else it doesn't look correct.

>>2841229
I see. I guess since everyone emphasises proportions, face, body,or otherwise so much I've become too worried about that. Thanks anon

>>2841024
same oddly enough haha lol

>>2841083
not bad, try blocking in slower with focus on proportions rather than emphasizing details first if you;re going for a copy, anywhere here is my draw over, just focus on relative proportions: where does the ear line up to the eye, how big is this half of the head vs the other half,

Does anyone have a ref or redline or something to help me redraw this thing. I took it upon me to do a thing but I'm struggling now because I got sucked in to /fa/ and then /fit/ and then /o/ spiralling back to /fa/ and landed on /fit/. And that cycle started about 5 years ago. I haven't drawn in a long time brethen.

>>2841083
Did she swallow the bogpill?

All I want to do is be able to draw cute anime girls.

Starting from 0, is sticky really the most effective way to get there?

I could not care less about anything else. I want to draw cute girls doing cute/lewd things.

>>2838886
These look horrible lol. There's a reason why you have to draw bulbous facial features in Fun with a Pencil, to make the perspective on the faces clear and accurate.

>>2841343
Style (which includes anime) comes from a refined understanding of how the real world works. To know that, you must be at least somewhat competent in the fundamentals of the human body and anatomy. And yes, it does take a while. However, that should not stop you from drawing what you want and having fun.

Pic related is an extreme example of what happens when your fundamentals are not in order. Don't end up like him.

>>2841329
delet this

>>2841348
Just looking at it is ruining my drawing skills.

>>2841377
Go look at his da gallery, everyone is commending him and his drawings.

>>2841380
If you're lucky enough you'll find a comment where someone says something negative yet tries to be constructive. He shoves it off so unbelievably douchey and defensively that it makes me question if he has mental/behavioral issues.

I struggled with the eyes, but I think I pulled through.

Those heads are huge, makes them all look like midgets.

You could use a bit of drawing on the right side of the brain before you get to loomis. I got tripped up when I started with Loomis; it's better to visit it later.

I'm digging the bottom right guy though.

how are my minute doodles

So I have a very specific problem when I draw from imagination. When I follow my own proportions like on the left. My characters look ok. But when I do them according to the standard ones like on the right they come out all wrong.

How does this happen?

By the way. I have finished drawing on the right side of the brain and am starting keys to drawing right now. I'm just asking about this spefic thing.

>>2842829

Turns out fucky because you are still symbol drawing. You will learn to let go anon.
