>>3216525
Senpaitachi are too good, I give up already.

Why do I even draw.
I got much better over the past few years, but I'm having progressively less and less fun. Does this ever change? I thought that my goal is to be as good as InCase, but what if one day I wake up being that good but still feel like shit? Is this what life is all about?

>>3216586
oh dear

Skill doesn't matter in this exercise, having fun does.

I don't get it

>>3216473
why draw the circle if you don't use it at all

>>3216493

Fuck your easy mode Rosetta

>>3216678

>>3216681

>>3216712
Granblue Fantasy, a nip gacha game

>>3216713
why i she so popular?

>>3216493
too cute addd ears and a MAGA hat

>>3216473

>>3216586
Don't lament, you've got a pretty good trying to achieve a 3 dimensional look to the character
it takes practice, keep at it!

>>3216732
cool like step 5 keep going

>>3216717
She's not that popular. It's just the artist who is a huge rosettafag. Aside from that she's heavily pushed in the game 4koma because of her young appearance and she's often or commonly known as JK (joshi kousei).

>>3216670
I like your smug style anon

>>3216733
Thank you anon. Good gains to you, too.

>>3217347
ty for being, going to do a few studies of your work now since I didn't know what to draw

>>3217355
well shit man, good luck

>>3216599
not very good

>>3217338
Streams of laziness

>>3216586
fucking millenials and your 1st world problems.
make everyone a favor and kys.

>>3217343
how do I get as good as you no memes

>>3217414
he was born that way anon. i don't think you can.

>>3216717
ass

>>3216473
>1: Draw a circle
>2: Fuck that shit just like stick a face in there somewhere

>>3216586
I don't understand this "style" where everyone has a fucking Guts scar encircling the tip of their nose. Is it a tumblr thing? It looks fucking stupid.

Let's do this instead.

>>3217637
nah we already done that

>>3217414
dunno man, i just doodle when i can

>>3216473
>haven't drawn for months
How does artfriends keep their motivation?

>>3218142
We don´t. Wasting hours on a illustration for a board were people will just tear it apart for its flaws or lunge at it out of jealously is not the greatest of motivations.

>>3216473
Can someone translate?

>>3218142

damn asanagi

>>3217667
You won't git gud with an attitude like that.

Bad at this

>>3216473

>>3216473

alright you fucken weeb cucks, i'll bite!

These are all terrible and lifeless, ever wonder how people can tell apart between authentic moe and a try hard western artist? This is clearly not for you, /ic/

>>3216473
What's even the point of the circle at the start?

>>3216681

fuck it im going for it, wish me luck yall!

step 1 and 2 done

>>3221321
A-Anon, your eyes, they... they're taking up all the space you're navel's supposed to be.

>>3216675

>above /beg/

>>3217623
Yea, I've just been loomising most of the time, haven't had a chance yet to find a proper style or appeal.
Thanks for the heads up.

>>3221321

>>3221327

>>3221350

>when the cancer has down syndrome
I actually keked at that face.

>>3216681
> making the whole thing grey on the same layer as the shading
> having to fuck around with saturation and overlay because the grey dulls everything

Why would anyone make all this extra work for themselves?

>>3221321
Go back, bones. You don't belong here.

>>3224834

this isnt the place where people come to, to get good?

im here to learn and grow, am i in the wrong place?

>>3221213
i want the cheat codes youre using

I tried

Newcomer to drawing overall. Started 3 days ago infact. Forgive my camera but somehow, dirt has gotten on the lens. Inside the phone shell, through the tight plastic cover I bought for each side and the leather phone case. The hair on the bottom right side bothers me the most, as well as the eyelashes and mouth. I figure I did alright with the colour scheme at the very least. But it was a fun challenge. Especially for someone who can't draw faces let alone bodies worth a nickel for the moment.

>>3227121
stop using lined paper

>>3227127
I will. I'm currently in a poorfag situation and this was the best I could make do with. But I am planning on purchasing an 'ordinary' sketchbook soon.

>>3227121
stop drawing anime

>>3227136
Printing paper is good enough unless you want to keep every single practice piece you do. Get yourself a HB & 2B pencil, a sharpener and kneaded eraser and go from there.

>>3227177
I'll see if the neighbouring town has this stuff. All these various pencils astound me because I was used to there just being.. simple pencils. Never really figured there were variations which look almost identical. But thanks, anon. I'll take any advice I can get.

>>3227188
Generally HB stands for hard black, The numbers indicate how soft the lead is, giving you a darker black. The higher you go, you may need a stanley knife as the lead gets softer, the twisting motion of a regular sharpener tends to break the lead.

Use the HB to put down your construction lines, use the kneaded eraser by patting it down and 'lifting' the lead off the paper and occassionally, moulding it into a point to reach corners, then the 2B on top for your final lines.

It is all simple pencils and HB and 2B are the most commonly found ones.

Higher grade paper as you would find in sketchbooks is useful once you get confident enough to start using inks and other mediums.

You will slowly accumulate all the materials you need in time, no need to go for everything or the expensive stuff at first.

>>3227202
How long would you reckon I should wait until I decide to perhaps buy a drawing tablet? I've had my eyes on one incase I really get into drawing as a hobby and passion. So far I really do enjoy drawing, despite being utterly awful at it.

I don't normally draw anime

>>3227221
If it doesn't strain your budget there is no reason not to. Especially if there is a sale going on. Just don't concentrate too much on making 'good' pieces on it which alot of people learning to draw do when they first purchase a tablet.

But if you really need to know if you 'earned' a tablet, I do suggest setting up a goal. Put a small amount of change for every sheet you fill or for every hour you spend drawing until you earned enough.

>>3227428
Thanks! I made the thread asking about the Cintiq 13HD. I just want to get better man. I've got so many artists I look up to for various reasons. Boris Vallejo, Victoria Gavrilenko (Viccolatte), Nisetanaka and lord knows how many others. I just want to draw man. Draw, get good at it and be proud of my creativity for once. Screw the money-making side (albeit a great bonus), I just like drawing.

hope ya'll dont mind if i switched it up a bit

Is there any hope for me? I just want to draw cute girls.

>>3227826
Sure! I'd say the next big step for you would be to use your whole arm to draw instead of just your wrist. Once you can create those straight lines, you start to understand how things come together. Don't forget to just be observant in daily life as well anon.

>>3227830
>Once you can create those straight lines
My entire practice thus far has been devoted to grinding this one skill because it's quite bad, worse than a normal person for whatever reason. It's going OK but it's a slow improvement.

>>3227836
it's just one of those big barriers, but it feels so damn great after you pass it

>>3227836
have you tried printing off those connect the dot sheets. that was my my main way of practicing lines. it might help with your practice.

Wow I'm terrible

>>3228245
I've just been filling pages with lines but I'll give that a shot.

>>3228402
you don't even need to print anything, just draw the dots yourself.

I should have grinded more circles

>>3216473
Go ahead and absolutely crucify me please.

I started doing my very first Fun With A Pencil exercises two days ago.

>>3221195
i like your line art

>see this
>it's way better than I can do
>anon says it's not very good
That is discouraging, I do have a problem with distance, size, positioning and perspective.

What do, back to loomis?

>>3237049
Maybe not Loomis, just studies in general. Practice practice practice, have fun and practice.
This exercise is far too simple to tell us anything about your true potential as an artist.

>>3238885
study more jojo, while it might not seem like it, jojo characters do have foreheads
