Yes. While getting swole you will develop discipline. Discipline that will extend to other aspects of your life, like drawing.

How do you practice

>>3252207
Until now I mostly did a bunch of studies from books and artists I like and only started inventing and drawing more from imagination recently.

All of my progress since July is there if you're interested.

Did you study perspective before studying anatomy? Or did you just study both of them together?

> using manchild as an insult on 4chan
Anon...

Still have a long way to go before my digital art skill level is where my Traditional one is.

>>3253460
i flipped through perspective made easy, got halfway through chapter 3 of scott robertson's book, and i got bored. i started learning to draw with portraits off b/w photo refs and quickposes for gestures. i did 20 gestures a day in my first month in addition to like a portrait or shitty figure. so after that i felt like i had a good grasp on the flow of poses or what not, but constructing a figure was pretty difficult for me as i never practiced rotating 3d forms in space. even now i still have trouble with foreshortening and stuff, so i should probably do some quick still lives where you drop the shapes into the objects and observe how they function in perspective. my perspective isn't strong, but i know how to measure stuff when there's 2 VPs. personally i love gesture and seeing dynamic poses, but it's probably wiser to start with a few irl still life drawings cause that can teach you a lot of skills at once.

Did you not read my post?

>>3254508
1.) Diminishing returns is a thing. You'll probably make more progress in the first year of drawing then you'll do in the 5 years later. 2.) Most people don't grind autististically like you faggots on 4chan and have other hobbies and a social life. 3.) If you don't study fundamentals and practice intelligently, you won't improve no matter how much time goes by.

>>3254623
you have potential, if you get on the daily grind you will be a pro in no time, nice work

thanks, i've been drawing everyday but i've been shirking on my studies so i need to go the extra distance

>>3252117
If you don't have discipline to draw you most likely won't have discipline to get swole.

I didn't make a single finished piece this year, it was al practice.

2016 is better, sorry anon...

>>3256095
my........heart.........
yea i kinda feel. what happened to me?

>>3256023

2016 is flat but design wise it's interesting. I feel like there's a story behind it. 2017 is just another generic monster.

Maybe try to redraw your old drawings with using the techniques you've grasp.

>>3256023
I like 17's shading

>>3256023
i think ya got better dog

10 years later and your still drawing faggot anime

>>3256198
i feel like you improved quite a bit but maybe color is new to you so your improvement doesn't show very well in this comparison.

>>3253887
I kinda saw what it was supposed to be, don't think you're too fucked for a /beg/inner. Try to think of colors not only as that little bright thing you see, but as something that is able to render things like depth, angle and especially how it can be solid. Try to see how color behaves when it informs us of such things, which is all the time because reality has no lines. Then try applying those dynamics when you paint.

>>3256198
Anatomy and gesture have improved, as well as general presentation, but I feel you'd have a more exciting contrast if you'd focused on improving your lines.

>>3253276
How do you come up with these dynamic poses? I struggle constantly with static boring poses but i can draw interesting characters

Yeah, im not him but its obvious you dont have a grasp on fundamentals or anatomy. if you did, it would be evident regardless of medium

Redrawing from three years ago. Since it's the last day of 2017

>>3255226
I started this year too and I feel like I'm doing good progress but theres something in your drawing that I dont feel like I can do right yet, which is those smooth lines.
Seriously, do you clean everything after you done or are your lines really that smooth?

>>3253276

please i am BEGGING you

>>3257219
Don't understand the hate. The art style is cute.

>>3257219
>>3257325
Hands and body are on full display, looks like they had more confidence in anatomy. I like the general design of 2016 more, but you have to filter that kind of stuff out. Anybody can stumble on a decent picture after tons of trial and error, it's confidence and consistency that really matter

>they
Did you use the plural to avoid been gender-specific? What's the problem with you english speakers?

This is from this year and I'm hoping to improve more. I feel like I'm getting stuck and this sucks..

>>3261714
Someone doesn't know English as well as they thought.

>>3261715
Do you got a blog?

>>3261719
Yeah, it's meribels.

>>3261718
wow, I was thinking this was some feminist bs.
But, anyway, as far as my research goes, this is not largely used.

>>3261715
those faces look all over the place. how often do you study real people or master paintings?

>>3261731
Well, it is feminist BS but it's very pervasive to modern English speakers now. I've always used it, but go back just some decades and everyone used "he" when referring to an unspecified person whose gender was not known.

>>3261736
Never, that's where I majorly suck. I need to go and do studies on basically everything regularly again..

>>3261731
>But, anyway, as far as my research goes, this is not largely used.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
It's used far more than 'he or she' or the gender neutral 'he', even in literature. I don't see why people are such sticklers about it when many other languages have a similar pronoun, and it's less clunky sounding.

>>3261756
There's a reason we don't speak like that anymore. It's because we're *educated.

*a majority of us anyway.

>>3261731
It's not some pc bullshit, it's being literate.

>>3261759
There really is no problem saying someone is a he or she (unless they're someone who's a sensitive sally), but it's what is taught in school when children are taught how to read and write.

Were not the only language that does this. From my 3 years of German, they have he, she and it as well. If you didn't know who someone was you'd say, wer ist es. (I believe it's been a while).

>>3261731
>>3261756
I don't know where you two are coming from because this is taught to children learning to read and write, and it's been taught for years. It had nothing to do with the feminist movement. Also, this is ic go back to pol.

>>3261759
Literally can not use they in essays for whatever reason, have to use he/she.

>>3261775
I will use "he" exclusively now to piss off jerk-offs like this guy.

>>3261790
Not pissed just really confused. Sorry for the misunderstood tone.

But I just read this
> http://kemthemerciless.blogspot.com/2007/08/i-we-you-they-argh-argh-argh.html

And I relearned that he was used as a neuter. And that makes sense because English is a Germanic language, and in German, the same thing is used. But this is the 21st century, not the 18th so things, such as language, change with time.

But hey, let's just treat this like the Oxford comma.

>>3257370
Your compositions have grown really appealing but still retaining the chaotic energy of your earlier work.
>those subway sketches
Fucking sweet. Are those done from life or photos? I know it's your style to work with a single pixel brush, but it would be cool to see you work with a softer but still zero line-weight brush.

>>3261715
Your color choices feel a lot more stronger and confident than the beginning of the year. The way you handle hair has especially gotten nice.
I think maybe if you experiment more wildly with process (maybe try something without lineart) or style (look at other anime artists you like and study their pieces), you'll find yourself less "stuck".

>>3260890
The anatomy and stylization has improved immensely, but I feel like you need to look at blocking in tones instead of going for texture straight away, because your values look muddy and ill defined.

>>3260062
Try focusing on values (studies, doing gray scale original drawings, etc) for a month. Your work is hurt by how soft and pale you approach value.

>>3258163
>all those backgrounds
Nice.

>>3261775
Oh, I'm not antagonistic towards the usage of 'he or she', just that people who get pissed off at the usage of a singular 'they' in non-academic contexts need to take the stick out their asses.

My second language doesn't have gendered 3rd person pronouns, so maybe that's why I don't get the fervor.

>>3261776
>quoting a text that uses singular 'they' in an essay
>have to refer to the undefined subject with 'he or she' right after
Gets me every time.

>>3261808
The artist with the feedback on colour choice and hair. Thank you! I've noticed I've gotten better with hair after a second look. Didn't realize it as much at first..

>>3261756
Not decades, centuries my man.

>>3251107
10 years for that shit. This is why i will never start drawing

>>3258374
He didn't, he's wearing gloves over prosthetics. Or some shit like that, I dunno. Look man, I was fucking lazy back then. Couldn't even be bothered to draw feet. Or proper backgrounds. I might not be shit hot today either, but I'm not half assing as much anymore.

>>3261756
Naw man, I've always used 'they' to refer to someone of an unspecified gender, and I'm pretty sure it's become more prevalent thanks to SJW's but it's been pretty common for at least 2 decades.

>>3251107
who is this dude? sauce please.

I'm not a big fan of furries but i randomly picked this old picture to redraw.

>>3251107
I'm really not happy with my art, I'm having such a difficult time getting the cuteness factor that I'm satisfied with. And also my consistency is hot garbage

>>3266919
Lighter skin tones

>>3266916
This is something i did a few days ago, my style is really inconsistent, and i dont know how to fix it.

>>3257867
You're still pretty shit, but theres clear improvement. I admire your dedication. You can do it, anon.

>>3266916
It looks like your general knowledge of art n stuff improved, but your style is incredibly boring now. Looks like average tumblr user #56295. The left was much more unique.
Try to define your own style more. Try going through the blogs you follow and only remain following the ones whose art you look at and think "This is what I want my art to look like". I did this and went from following over 1000 to about 400 and its already helping me see the direction I want to go in with my style.
Although if you do that and you're still following a bunch of stephen universe/calarts meme artists, then I've got no advice for you. If thats seriously what you want to aim for, you do you. I'm just saying that you wont stick out at all.

>>3266965
I apreciate the criticism, and only following the artists you like is a good idea I'm going to try it. I hate steven universe's style and ive never used tumblr really, but ok. I can understand where your coming from the redrawn version is very simple, but most of my art is a bit more complex.

>>3266981
>I hate steven universe's style
>>3266944
>>3266944
>>3266944

>>3266984
Are you retarded? Why are bashing this artists about their art? It looks nothing like steven universe's style, i think someones a little blind desu.

>>3266984
Ive never watched it and ive never followed anyone who has a tumblr, big lips, steven universe nose style. Its just because shes got big hips senpai what do you want? It was a commison and thats how they wanted her to look.

fuck me up

>>3254257
thanks for making me feel good about myself.

>>3266919
nice what was your routine?

>>3268561
at least jurion stopped drawing pedo shit
he also stopped drawing traps because he realized he wasn't actually gay or a pedo, but that he'd just spent so much time jerking off to cartoon porn that his brain got fucked up
he worked his shit out proper and now he's back to drawing sexy women and editing his old trap shit to be chicks instead
glad to see him taking his mental health seriously and producing non-disgusting work again

>>3268674
Is this real?

>>3268680
it feels like it is
after his last big tumblr/twitter/facebook/whatever social media blowup, he deleted a bunch of stuff and turned away from all his trap and pedo shit
said some things about feeling disgusting as a person, etc.
last I saw he was editing all of his trap shit into women for publishing
and I haven't seen him post any pedo shit since
as far as I can tell he's back to making typical eurocomics about robots, dragons, slavery, and out-of-place sex scenes

>>3266916
i think your new style is really cute and would look adorable as stickers or something! maybe it's not super original but i find it a lot more appealing than the anime furry thing you had going on before. whether you change that or not depends on how much you want to market yourself as someone with a super distinct style. otherwise, a lot of people are perfectly fine with having a generic moe style and are plenty able to get commissions despite not having super recognizable illustrations.

Can i cherrypick?

>>3269023
this is a progress thread, you fucking mong. you post progress by posting pictures in comparison to one another. he's not saying either one of those aren't his art, he's saying that's just his friend's homestuck fancharacter, not his own original concept. he drew both. holy god you're a fucking dipshit.

>>3266942
very nice! from the lower part it looks like you are no longer trying to draw static copies of what you imagine the animal to be but are putting in actual shape. theres a long ways to go but if you can draw this loosely it means you can sketch properly, and if you can sketch properly you can learn

Mid 2017 was a huge slump for me art-wise, but I'd like to think I've improved.

finally feel confident to post my progress guys

Decided to start drawing again on a whim about two months back. All I had was a cellphone with a stylus, so I just started scribbling without much of a care and posted it on another board. My goal, more than anything else, is to just pump out more work consistently, since I feel that among my myriad of weaknesses, that one is the greatest.

Thank you! I've been working hard to improve on backgrounds.

2017 was interesting, didn't make any huge improvements, but I think I smoothed over some of the rough spots.

>>3253276
Nice. I'm about at the level you were at in 2014. Hopefully I can make similar gains. How much do you practice and how old are you?

>>3269993
you really can't see what makes your drawing shit? You stupid dunning kruger retard. Go back to the beginner thread. Not wasting time explaining something to you that you'll refuse to see.

Since Nov 2017 I'm just drawing random shit, I should start studying again.

>>3269898
Thanks. I don't practice as often as I should, work and family keeps me busy so I get maybe 5 hours in a week. Growing up I doodled in every piece of paper that was handed to me, so that may have come close to 1-2 hours a day. I'm 22

>>3269909
Definitely tried to emulate him but I don't want to just copy his style. I really like how he approaches problems like perspective, construction and drawing cute faces without resorting to hiding their details.

>>3260906
Medibang paint pro because nothing else works on my computer. I mostly stick to the pen tool and airbrush. I haven't had much luck with its brushes

>>3256661
Animating helps a lot, try to visualize what you're making before drawing anything. Try to imagine what your figure is doing immindiately before and after your drawing happens instead of "posing" them. If you want to use reference, try using videos or instead of static images. Stock images kinda suck because a lot of models look like they're acting out things rather than just doing them. Hope this helps

>>3270039
Posting from phone sorry it's kinda fucked

I didn't really get better at anything so much as realize I'm literally never going to get better at drawing and so gave up and switched to sculpture which I like a lot better.

And make no mistake, that shit from '12 is the absolute best of the bunch and most of it is probably traced.

4 years, little improvement. :(

Aww thanks!

>>3255431
lifting is unironically a good way to train discipline

>>3257204
Learn how to draw a face. Then learn how to draw eyes, they are the worst part. Your art angers me like the giant loli anon.

Wasn't expecting much change

3 years of lazines resulted in little improvement and a lot of style changes :(

>another no-effort twitter artist who only banks off of drawing the epic twitter meme of the week
oh /ic/ you never fail to impress me

Ignoring the profound cancerousness of what I've been drawing, I think I've made progress.

Also, is anyone else having problems with captcha?

>>3271532
He created the meme.

>>3271571
Was about to say that's not him because the style is different, but it turns out it is.

>>3257204 You got better in many ways but I dislike what you're doing to your character faces.

>>3271561
You mean that shit where it just refuses to accept your answers? I switched back to legacy captcha a few days ago.

Anyways, good progress anon, keep it up.

>first four months are trash
>last eight are pretty much stagnant
;_;

>>3271653
Do you try drawing in different ways, say like trying out a new style or technique? Practice doesn't always make perfect, you should try and mix up what and how you draw to improve.

>>3271653
It's Splatoon art which makes it great no matter what.

i've drawn off and on for a long time but i only started taking it more seriously in january

>>3271661
Yeah, I can't really figure out how to improve from what I have now (apart from definitely studying the body and deeeefinitely working on poses). It does sound like a good idea to branch off from what I keep doing. I've always wanted to do more realistic and more anime styles, although splatoon did distract me for a looong time there.
>>3271662
I must agree, I always love splatoon art.

5 years of barely any progress, I dont draw more than a couples times a month and I think im stuck here forever

>>3270085
I don't mean to whine for attention but is sculpture just not /ic/? I've been struggling to figure out whether I should be posting stuff on /diy/ or /ic/. /diy/ isn't very artsy if you're not making furniture or knives but /ic/ seems like it's only for drawing.

>>3272187
/3/ is more sculpting than /ic/ will ever be.

>>3269805

>>3257370
Its a shame, because you can draw, but you choose to do so poorly on most occasions.

>>3271431
that pixel tree trunk is nice man, you're doing good for real

>>3257204
Blog, pls? I actually like your new (((style))) more.

>>3272188
But I'm too dumb to figure out sculpting on the computer, bending metal and making it stick together with a zappy stick is about all my tiny brain can handle.

>>3272221
Just start a sculpture thread and see what you get. Most people in school for art have to take 3d foundations or sculpture at some point, at the very least you'll get ppl to post their old stuff and discuss.

For my NSFW blog.
I'm too messy and I never really take time to finish my drawings.

>>3251581
testosterone makes you a winner yes

>>3271167
but.. i love giant loli anon

>>3271588
thanks, could someone tell me what else i'm doing wrong to my faces? i ASSUME they're blotchy and over-rendered in areas, but i know i'm missing something else. something i can't quite put my finger on

gonna need a blog

Probably getting memed but I don't particularly care https://densend.tumblr.com/

These are more consistent than my finished work to show progress. I didn't like to colour back then, and it's biting me in the ass now.

>>3257076
Seconding blog request

>>3257319
This is fucking cool. You should be a design director or some shit.

>>3271319
Found some older art for a better comparison. Granted, I gave up On digital So that's a factor.

>>3272264
you got worse
that last pic is truly awful in both composition and anatomy, especially compared to your earlier stuff

I'm not improving.

>>3255851
you should
i got mine for 2€ and its doing a phenomenal job
these all in one printers are ridiculously cheap

>>3269100
did you draw everyday?

>>3270085
>mlp shit
not going to make it
just hang yourself

>>3274300
Nah, on the big chart I made a bar graph of the days per month I drew. Recently I've been skipping several months a year. During the years of plenty I was at about a 50% duty cycle.

>>3274181
Consider spending more time on the artwork anon. Also the drawing is half the battle, what about the size of the picture? aspect ratio? composition?

>>3274316
I was into MLP for a while and I'm pretty sure that's not MLP shit. Just generic gay furry shit.

>>3274316
>not going to make it
>after he literally just said he gave up
Stop posting, baby

>>3268557
yikes you're one bitter faggot

>>3266919
redraw the cute clover

A decade of drawing with no real attempt at trying to improve. It's only recently that I came here to get more technical knowledge on how to improve.

>>3266944
You don't develop a style, a style develops over time. Focus on core constructive drawing.

>>3273219
3 years of you avoiding hands
impressive

>>3274699
You started down the path and thats all that matters anon. Good luck to you

>>3257319
Man I wish I had 10 years to practice.
I like her shine ass, but the whole pic reminds me of Zone of the Enders.

git gud

>>3273914
I think that way too.
The thing is that Iife hit me hard for a moment and since then, everything I draw seems off.
I'm working on that.

>>3275297

>>3275035
I’m not confident enough in the hands I currently draw to post because I used to avoid them, so yep, that’s biting me in the ass too. Even if they’re shit, it’s now better than not drawing them at all, right?

oh god

>>3276288
That's very good for 2 years. You've gained a much better understanding of anatomy and lighting.

lemme see that wolf dude redrawn

How long have you guys been lifting?
>want to get fit but between drawing a few other sedentary hobbies not sure I can get anywhere

>>3270311
So you walk around with an upside down woman on your thigh? Seems an odd choice.

>>3277025
This puzzled me too but i think it might be a body painting, not a tattoo? That's the only thing that made sense to me.

>>3276800

Gains.jpg here

I have been lifting for about 1,5 year

Time between the drawings is about 4.5 year

Best way I found to make sure you keep going to the gym is by finding a spot in your schedule where you know you'll be wasting time.
For me it was after work and before dinner.

>>3277040
Forgot body painting is a thing, that's fine then

>>3267029
Lalam?

>>3268545
interesting and cute / generic garbage (but skilful still)

almost 5 years later, went by so fast

>almost 5 years later, went by so fast

much impressto

Good shit.

>>3277384
how about you eat some laundry detergent you fucking useless crab

>>3277384
everyone professional artist copies from photos

>>3277407
>everyone professional artist copies from photos
thanks, i had a good laugh!

>>3277401
how about you stop copying photos inch by inch, you little schoolgirl?

>>3277420

>>3277425 (You)
(You suck)
(You suck ass)

>>3277384
I dont just do studies lul I wanted to compare similar... tho something creative would be more interesting I agree hehe

>>3277420
in fact, professional artist do copy from photos a lot, It is a good way to improve in some specific things like light or color, but you need to keep focus on what you're doing, and don't do a mindless copy, the goal of copying photo or artwork is to understand why the things are arranged like that (keep in mind that this only happens for study purposes)

>>3277434
if you copy a nude photo 1:1 >>3277368 it doesn't do shit for you as an exercise. even more so, if all you do is take the photo into photoshop, create a new layer above it and trace it. many times, you can tell by the exact translation of lense-specific aspects like lense-flair, reflections, distortion, color aberation and so on. for the same reason that a copymachine will not just start printing artwork when it's idle and has no printjobs inbetween: all it does is copy. tracing a hundred photos will not have the same learning curve as you get from drawing from life as much and as often as you can. you don't learn faster by making shit as easy as possible for yourself. that is essentially what "technical crutches" are.

>>3251109
>>3251107
This is interesting progress, improving both art and body.

>>3251109
mirin those gains

>>3277475
>if you copy a nude photo 1:1 >>3277368 it doesn't do shit for you as an exercise.

But that post absolutely proves you wrong. Anon got a lot better with colors, values, brush economy, edges and general use of the tool.

>>3268987
This is what happens when you just draw without any formal learning.

Pick up a book, watch a tutorial and you can improve this much in a week instead of 8 years.
