learn strict linear perspective
learn to draw the figure constructively ALA LOOMIS
apply linear perspective to the constructions for a figure

>>3400602
Just imagine boxes everywhere lmao

>>3400602
unironically draw a transparent box around her

Why don't use a fucking reference?

>>3400646
whats the point of even drawing at all if you cant draw without looking at references anytime you want to do something that takes brain power

>>3400666
NGMI

>>3400666
to learn when you're a beginner?

Literally learn perspective, read a fucking book lmao why make this thread when you're clearly aware you need to learn, did you think some random reply was gonna fix it all for you? Put the work in

>>3400666
u already doomed mate...

>>3400602
While I think you should still learn perspective for buildings, machines, cars, etc. later on.
You don't actually use Robertson's perspective when figure drawing.
The best way I've found is to feel out the perspective with a gesture drawing, then correct it with construction as you go along.
It's a tacit skill that you can only develop via practice.
So get cracking.

>>3400695
No, you don't do what Robertson does.
Because you don't understand what the fundamental skills are.
When you do, then you'll realize that you do use the same skill that Robertson does.

>The best way I've found is to feel out the perspective with a gesture drawing, then correct it with construction as you go along.
Mostly how I work as well, but I really recommend people who feel shaky about the whole process use the actual construction based approach until they feel comfortable enough to feel it out with gesture and go from there

>>3400753
I mean you wouldn't try to make a perspective grid for a human figure.

>>3400759
someone didn't read their loomis, tsk tsk

>>3400760
Yes, I'm sure this was more than a practical exercise.
You've really helped me with my stiff, doll-like figures anon.

>>3400765
That loomis grid thing is the worst shit ever.

>>3400784
What’s the alternative?

>>3400789
>>3400754
It's what I see basically every artist do.

>>3400602

The problem is that you can't draw it well from the side or front either.

>>3400784
okay before I call you "the dumbest mother fucker that ever lived" I'd like you to say what you think people who can actually draw do instead

>>3400843
That's not loomis.

>>3400843
He draws from the imagination.
That was purely for instruction.

>>3400860
You idiot, do you think Loomis drew a fucking grid every time he was drawing figures for himself and not for instruction? Obviously, instructors have to go into detail in how you need to think and what exercises you should do before you are able to internalize it and draw without it.

>>3400860
Why would he be INSTRUCTING in that way if you shouldn't use it?

Do you realise how dumb you are?

>>3400895
>>3400860

>>3400646
Because not everyone wants to spend 4 hrs finding references every time they want to draw something.

>>3400925
What if I told you
You can take pictures as a reference?

>>3400925

You can set up a good reference for that in Daz in a few minutes

Low IQ - the thread

>>3400905

This is a great one. I really love all of these, wish they were posted more frequently, like.they were in the past.

>>3400666
You start with ref. Then over time you can do more and more without it. Were you born reciting poetry or just babbling nonsense?

>>3400860

References don't draw the image for you, they teach you how to see like an artist. Right now you're letting your imagination fill in the gaps from the very limited understanding you have of how something looks. Your work sucks because you're basing it on your half baked knowledge plus your imaginations' shitty guessing.

References will anchor you to reality. Which is what your work desperately needs.

>>3400860
>these are the loomis haters calling people crabs
lmao

>>3401244
I feel so fucking for you people who can't draw

>>3400602
just keep drawing everything in 3D everyday and night like Kim Jung GI, or just trace off 3D programs like American piece of shit artists that started drawing last year.
