Very cool sketches! Although I want to ask, where are you from? Your french seems a bit weird to read (no offence).

What is a good brush pen to use with a sketchbook? I got a Pentel fude brush but it's more for manuscripts.

>>3564310
I would read a comic in this style for sure

Really like this

>>3567520
>>3567523
I like the texturing in these. Did you learn it somewhere or is it trial and error? I want to achieve something similar but I suck at it

>>3567565
Thanks. It’s a result of my clumsy attempts to emulate Miyazaki’s comics, moebius, toppi, and various hatching gods. I’d say just mess around with various patterns, and make sure they wrap around the shape of the object to give it volume

Nice work on the hands.

>>3564310
>no digital
why though? some people like me have digital sketchbooks. us digital guys have nowhere to post our sketches, i dont want to post them in the draw thread because thats more for finished work

>>3569276
Digital sketches get their dicks sucked on DA so off you go.

>>3569278
what does that even mean? i might just make a new thread for digital sketches but it would make more sense to post here if you could remove your hate boner for digital art please. drawing is all the same whatever tool youre using

>>3569280
I love digital art, but a digital sketch ain't a trad sketch. When Jin Kim or Feng Zhu are making napkin doodles, they aren't using a digital napkin. Make your thread if it's so important to you.

>>3569291
Digital sketch isn't trad sketch, but they're both still sketches, I don't understand the hostility and the need to segregate them. Like he said, the tool doesn't matter, it's all drawings in then end. Can you explain your reasoning a bit more objectively?

>>3569316
I can't afford a tablet.

>>3569316
Things you can do in digital that you can't in traditional and that fundamentally change the very idea of a sketch:
Erase flawlessly
Lay down masses of color instantaneously
Underlay a photo for easy referencing
Layers to control what can and cannot be seen and to what degree (bai bai construction lines)

>>3569336
>Erase flawlessly
Ok, fair enough. But as long as you're not pressing down like a gorilla, the marks usually doesn't show up that strongly anyways. And even so, they can be edited out digitally

>Lay down masses of color instantaneously
Almost all sketches here aren't even colored

>Underlay a photo for easy referencing
Very easy and practical to do with a light table (you get one for like 30 bucks, it's about the size of a digital tablet), I used to do ecorche anatomy exercises this way in the past.

>Layers to control what can and cannot be seen and to what degree (bai bai construction lines)
Also very easy to do with a light table. I used to construction studies like this, very useful.

>>3569349
Lmao, a light table? What part of the word 'sketch' involves a fucking LIGHT TABLE?

>>3569356
you can sketch on tablet in the same way you do in a real sketchbook if you just avoid those features, and why would anyone lie about that here if its just anons looking for crit? Light tables just show that tablet advantages can be replicated pretty easily. If you can use the same tools on both then you can't validate one without validating the other

>>3569356
You can say the same for digital artists sketching using layers. What part of the word "sketch" involves digital layers? My point is that you can't really police that, even if you only allow traditional sketches to be posted, since layers can be easily simulated traditionally too.

Also, if you think light tables are huge massive hunks of an equipment that is inaccessible to most regular people and requires a lot of setup, maintenance & space, then you're wrong.
Modern light tables are extremely cheap, practical, slim and easy to use. See pic related.

Been drawing for a total of maybe 6 hours, some Loomis potato heads and some from life random sketches after I got bored of loomis

Was just sitting down to do a 1 minute sketch and this came out. Sure it's shit but I couldn't draw faces before and this feels great
No eyes and shit lips because I don't know how to draw either yet

Tried making mad max

>>3570806

you are created with a purpose and you have no choice in the matter. you must fulfill it because you are given only the tools to fulfill that purpose. in fulfilling your fate and exploring what it means to be human personally and to the fullest extent we find god, or discover the truth.

everyone has a different path and the truth is always at the end of all of them but some people go down more than others. some people only go down, like shovel man here.

Please feel free to redline before I ink this. .7mm with pilot blue lead.

Hey, roboanon, I'm the guy who had a dream of that white huge bot along with you.

You got me into drawing less alive objects and I thought i'd take a crack at a tank.

>>3567042
Hey really like the one on the left , how do you go about constructing hair ?

>>3564310
Usually struggle to draw from imagination but this spilled out this morning. Any advice for the rendering ?

>>3570822
I like this alot, dunno why.


starting to do more drawings on both pages of my sketchbooks.

Found an old charcoal pencil laying around and have it a whirl.

bumping your thread

>>3574497

>>3574498

>>3571868
Use more line weight, less ramen lines and most importantly get some light when taking pictures of your art, bruh.

>>3574497
>>3574498
these look fun. do the dots change the way you draw?

>>3574458
I'm thinking much more about the School of David... Jean-Antoine Gros with his more psychological portraits, his student Joseph Robert-Fleury, and his son Tony. Anyway in this sketch, Leda and the Swan, Zeus is reaching for the pencil!

>>3571191
Shut up

Can I post if it's a lined netbook? Really enjoyed drawing poses from imagination for my foreskin exercises though the angle got a bit wonky on the choked guy so I didn't ink him

I spilled wine on my last WIP that I spent weeks doing

>>3575777
>foreskin exercises
What did he mean by this?

>>3576362
Foreshortening

>>3576337
is this really a sketch if you spent weeks on it?

>>3576992
I didn't spend weeks doing this one, I spent weeks on another one.
This one took just about an hour or two

>>3576995
oh, okay

Drawing with markers is fucking FUN

:)

>>3578686
I love it

how the fuck. do you even know what william blake's drawing look like ?

>>3577057
I appreciate it, thanks for the (you) anon.

>>3577377

>>3579065
You don't notice because your observation skills are shit. The elongated body proportions, the figure to frame ratio, and the feature shapes are similar

>>3570822
Nice. I dig the brushpen look. I always give up when I use it cause it’s too hard.
>>3572616
Neat. I like the colors you used.
>>3574497
The loose scribbly pen work goes well with the dotted paper. Noice.
>>3577377
>>3579231
Good stuff. Sketching with markers is always fun, they let you think about shapes in a way pencils/pens don’t cause the tip is so big. Those graphic shapes in the back help make the figures pop more too, I dig it.
I like the smoke you added, really helps give the page a sense of movement. Good work.


Here are some warm ups I did.

Beastman head.

>>3579433
Messy sketchy.

>>3568878
Cool shit. You got a blog?

>>3579307
Interesting that you noticed that. I first looked at William Blake before getting into Hogarth, Rowlandson, and others. There is an esoteric element that probably led me to Blake subconsciously. It's also like Luke with his lightsaber right? He wants to slay that snow monster!

practising postures

Do you all sketch with ink? Why not pencil?

>>3580270
lose the inner outline of the shadow hatching. it doesn't do any good. also try to get a more regular hatching going, get more life in it, take the tip off the paper at the end of each line instead of doing tight zig-zags. the face and hair is well done. the crossing curvy line on the chest doesn't do any good.

>>3579387
Thanks, anon.
>they let you think about shapes in a way pencils/pens don’t cause the tip is so big
Hell yes. It's great for shadows and hair, for example. Loving it.

Really like the concept and lines of the top-right one btw, pretty nice.

>>3580270
Hatching could be better, but I like this.

>>3580287
I like how vivid the sketches look on ink (I usually sketch with pigment ink pens, and I'm thinking of buying a brush pen). Also, since I can't erase or correct mistakes, it's helping me build confidence on my lines. It sure helped me a lot with chicken scratching.

>>3580594
Nice textures and composition

>>3578394
I like your pufs

Junk

>>3580457
Pretty.

Teacher told us to doodle or make up stories or whatever about a given subjetc to get in tune with a certain theme and produce better ideas. So I took the "cat cafe" thing literally.

>>3582131
For never having done studies on cats I think this doodle was better than expected ignoring the perspective and cat on the upper right that looks more like a mouse

>>3580287
OP here, I just started doing it on a whim a year or so ago. It's fun, it forces you to have more confidence in the lines you put down, and for people better than me it probably helps teach them to visualize the form/perspective of an object without having to lay down a ton of construction things in pencil first.

>>3571127
I love your style king. Ill dump some of my dogshit.

fuk

>>3571881
I construct the solid form of all of the hair first, then determine the direction the hair takes. I add color/value by following the contours of the hair - using broad strokes at first, then gradually use a small brush/sharp point in some areas to show the texture. If you try to fill in hair with a very fine point, it's VERY easy to get spaghetti-hair. broad strokes emphasize the overall shape, and the fine ones show you the individual hairs. Fur works generally the same way.

Highlights and lighting/shadow follows the form it's applied to. the highlights in hair will be going the same "direction" as the hair(s) to which they apply.

I drew myself today, to see if I still Loomis

You have some really nice ideas about composition but Jesus Christ that human, go practice the gesture and study at least faces or the nice composition kind of goes to waste

>>3593588
Yeah, I'm not very good at drawing people's faces, gotta train that more
But about the gesture, what exactly is bad about it? It looks quite natural for me
Maybe the legs should take a little more space than that, I guess

T-thanks, senpai.

Ah, thank you. Should the words have meaning to them ?

So how about them porn ads? Just send your pics to messenger and upload through an ad blocked browser.

Is this good character design?

>>3598528
No, it's hideous. Focus on shape design, big, medium and small shapes. The small shapes should be mostly around the focal point in the design. Read Framed Ink.

>>3598574
This any better?

>>3596947
I like this! Would probably bring the mouth up a bit and think about making the limbs longer and fixing those hands. But I really dig the feeling of it (and the armor)

>>3598665
It looks like shit with all those lines that remain after you erased it. Sketch light, only definitive lines should be hard and done in a single stroke so to make it readable. Watch Peter Han's dynamic sketching series.

As for design: read the fucking book, beware of tangents and simplify into simple shapes.

how do I into sketching?

>>3600002
Grab a writing utensil and a piece of paper; let the flow take hold and guide you.

>>3600149
and what do I do when I suck?

>>3600161
We all suck. When you feel the flow you forget about it and only focus on putting pen to paper. All of that other stuff fades away, no negativity, no comparing yourself to others, no doubting your abilities or wondering if you’re gonna make it. You just draw and let the flow guide you. If you do it properly then you won’t be concerned about how it looks while you are actually drawing, only after you are done.

>>3600227
>only after you are done
I repeat. What do I do when it sucks?

>>3599836
Just make the other half something completely different, like half terminator or something

>>3564310

>>3599828

>>3600002
sketching can be amazing. just be ok with not planning and thinking all the time. sometimes youll make doodles that dont deserve to be seen, and certainly not worth getting scanned, adjusted, resized, and uploaded to 4chan. i have many sketchbooks and posted a couple of my favorite pages here.

>>3599739
Found your instagram and your RPG project, fucking sweet but I wish you had more of your character art spaced out in your guide, would really help spice some of those pages up. If you keep at it I could easily see you with a decent social media following.

Is sketching a standalone form of art ?

>>3601479
Hey thanks man, that actually boosts my confidence.

Tbh, that game guide is WAYYY out of date,
I'm currently in the middle of a total redesign, both of the in-game universe and the mechanics. If you ever play the game as it's presented though, shoot me a line on insta or tumblr, and tell me what you think. My tumblr is the same name.

Here's something else I've done for my rpg

>>3601397
but what do if suck?

>>3601572
looks like the stuff that kid from the Art of Getting By would draw. Idk if that's a compliment to you tho.

>>3601585
Idk either, I've never seen that movie. Thanks for the compliment though.

>>3600238
You draw more until you don't suck, you dumbass

>>3601607
I know the top head is fucked but I just wanted to finish one attempt at a realistic one. Kind of slanted because I drew on a flat surface. It's kazuma kiryu if it's too bad for you to recognize it.

Something older

I spent the last 5 months super depressed and I never drew in that time. Just getting back into it again. Everyone here is so good, making progress and all that. I just feel like I squandered my youth and failed to develop my technical skills as an artist.

>>3599016

Yeah. I've been using the mechanical pencil as a pen I can shade, that's about it. I've been trying to build line confidence, but my mileage is still behind.

First drawing ive done in months. Loved it til I notices 2 glaring problems with blondy's leg and foot.

I also happen to like doing sillier drawings. Gives less worries about potential errors

There is also so much art I wish I got arouns to finishing yet feel like I should leave it be

This is awesome, I like it a lot
Love this kind of drawing, with lots of blank spaces and intermitent lines, and those concentrated spots of densely agglomerated lines, the well defined shadows, and the sense of greatness, the gigantic dimension
The only thing I dislike about it (and it's just personal taste, but I think it may be useful to say) is the skull-like structure in the bottom
I find human skulls in drawings to be kinda dull and unnecessary most of the time, the kind of stuff edgy teenagers would put eventhough it doesn't have any context at all just to make it moody, dark and desolated, just because it's so easy
There's literally no point in having a skull-like structure in a machine like this
And of course I'm not oblivious to aesthetics, but even as a visual element it actually takes away part of the mood of the drawing, because it's dislocated, it doesn't feel like it belongs in there
Anyway, keep drawing a lot, I like your style and concept
Good work

Take note of everything that went wrong and try again but move on if it isn't working.

With time, you'll see improvements. Like training an animal, it takes time.

But no matter what, keep that flow and expressiveness or you'll clamp up, get ugly lines, and stop drawing

Oh, thanks mate

Well, I'd actually like for my art to look more edgy. I enjoy slapping some pointless aesthetics on sci-fi stuff so it would better represent the personality of its owners/manufacturers. After all in some anti-utopian future where countless galaxy-wide corporations compete at selling weapons of mass destruction there certainly gonna be some mecha equivalent of Razer keyboards.
As for that particular one, it's supposed to conquer some barbaric planets where flexing your edginess is just as important aspect of warfare as strategy and firepower.

>>3605743
Also, talking about aesthetic. You don't like skulls, but what about PENIS?
