How do I into faces?

I spent a solid year or two sucking Guillaume Singelin and Moebius's dicks back to back, as well as a few other french cartoonists that I had hard-ons for at the time. A couple posters on here influenced me too, mainly that dude who makes all the surreal creatures in black and red pen and that Mabel chick who posted once or twice last year.

Bumping with an older page, I don't want this to die before the regular sketchbookfags get posting

I'm a /beg/poster with no scanner (yet), are potato pics of my sketchbook ok to post here? I'll keep my fundies to /beg/.

>>3629374
Holy shit these are hot art blog??

>>3630073
Anything yeah but its best if you edit it with photoshop or something

>>3630087
All I have is SAI, I can crop and change the contrast etc with that.

I am very /beg/ but I'm pretty sure that this is the best thing I've ever drawn in my life.
Used a mirror on my right eyes, didn't mean for it to turn out into a psychopath's, I was just really focused I guess.

>>3630135
Yeah do that. Look up tutorials for it.
>>3629374
btw art blog again pls im desperate

>>3630289
face looks bad

>>3630290
WHUD'D U SAY?

>>3630289
The oddest thing about this piece is that the figure are very amateurish but the hatching is actually extremely beautiful and well done throughout.

>>3630297
I'll tell my brother he needs to up his game.

>>3627986

>>3627986

>>3630597
Bruh what size pencils did you use for this?

>>3630180
Eh it's better than most begs. I like the loose style. Next time you draw something like this try analysing the subject for various perspective to get a concept of its 3D status and then dry drawing it and seeing how it turns out.

>>3629374
Those are really good, OP

>>3630083
No blog yet, one day when I'm not so busy maybe I'll make one.

Another old page, I'm just waiting for all the fags I usually recognize to start showing up

i've been playing too much SS13

My art is ass but I'll come up with something I like every once in a while. I've made a habit of actually taking my sketchbook with me whenever convenient and it increased my productivity by about a 100%, though drawing crappy stuff in public stills feels weird and I hold the sketchbook awkwardly so people can't see the pages.

>>3631952
Fuck.

>>3631448
Nope, sorry m8.

>>3631626
Je t'aime

>>3632507

>>3630611
Thanks, I also like the looseness of it. I tried doing some other eyes, thinking about it too much and they didn't come out as nicely as that one. Still a long road to go with consistency.
How would you go about analyzing something's perspectives before drawing it? Just get a feel for how it looks from different angles and sides?

>>3632507
>>3632513
i like these, do you have Instagram?

>>3632834
thanks, don't have insta though.

>>3633949
That's awesome.
Weird question, but would you be interested in collaborating for a webcomic? I'm working on a comic project involving lots of guns and lots of girls (sfw), so this seems like a surprise fit haha. I have a script for the first chapter, and rough drafts you could look over to get an impression. I've collaborated with artists for webcomic projects before and had some positive experiences.

Send me a mail if you're interested:
snack-comics@protonmail.com

>>3633994
In school full time, have a part time job on the weekends. Its a struggle for me to even do sketches, definitely wouldn't be able to do the work needed for a webcomic. Sorry mate.

>>3634081
I see, that's too bad. Finding an artist for a webcomic is pretty hard, only managed twice in a span of three years.
If you're situation changes, let me know. We can always work something out too, though I wouldn't be able to pay any kind of money that would warrant quitting a part time job...

>>3628174
Who is the artist? Search tells me Dubois, but then I can't find a further match for it.

Recently retired a two year old sketchbook, here is some of the worst from it.

>>3635768

>>3635769

>>3635770

I bought a replacement sketchbook, but instead I've been sketching on yellow printer paper.

>>3631663
Nothing like that, just having fun.

>>3634860
Whats your webcomic about?

>>3635833
Damn paper bled out

>>3635841
Yo I actually love this, so much personality on one page, makes me think of Jet Set Radio mixed with FLCL

Oogie boogie

>>3635869
I really love the depth you got with your inking!

>>3635859
I have multiple projects but the closest to publishing is an adventure / Fantasy comic with a floating island setting. My artist and I are going to apply to hiveworks in early 2019.
One other comic has been put on indefinite hiatus because the artist got a full time job and I don't want to release an unfinished product, yet switching artists mid-chapter would be too jarring.
I'm also doing a oneshot of my own but my art is still very poor >>3631948 so I had to come up with a story that requires neither anatomy (no human / animal characters) nor perspective to pull off which was a challenge and took a lot of trial and error. The result is of course still very flawed, but I'm happy with it, considering my limitations. Pic related is the draft, the comic is set to be released in December.

>>3635841
Amazing. Link to your deviantart/tumblr/whatever ?

>>3636681
The jester shoes kinda ruin the dramatic disgraced king look. I chuckled a bit, actually.

Studying Loomis. On day 3 (two technically. Didn't draw yesterday since I was sick and worked another 10 hour shift)

>>3636824

>>3636876
holy shit it IS the Chad stride... this is what you get when you don't plan your poses very well...

Dumb question but any real tips/tutorials/ books to help actually STARTING a sketchbook? While I do plenty of studies at home (concentrating on figure drawing/creating characters from imagination) I just have a hard time wanting to just sketch and doodle, possibly out of fear that I could end up wasting time on drawing the wrong things. I just want to always aiming to get better whenever I draw. Gotta get good asap.

>>3637303
most important tip for sketching? probably dont overthink, but don't NOT think. Overthink = not a sketchbook anymore. Not thinking = you end up drawing weird doodles that just end up going nowhere. Sometimes you see people with finished inked pieces in their sketchbook as if they're sending it off to calarts. And sometimes you see sketchbooks that look like they belong to graphomaniacs. My favorite sketchbooks are almost always from people that are always still designing, but keep it really basic and loose.

Don't forget, it's a sketch. It's not a drawing, it's not art. It's more frank than that.

>>3637303
Literally “just draw,” don’t be a bitch and add these unnecessary fears. Draw/doodle in your sketchbook, just do it

>>3633301
Really nice, esp. top right and bottom left

Oof

are digital sketchbook posts allowed?

>>3640202
yes

>>3640202
no

>>3640202
Don't be that faggot, you're the type of person who would do Inktober in digital aren't you.

>>3640338
>doing inktober at all
I'm not THAT normie

Safety bump, I'll post later

Does anyone have any recommendations for sketchbooks that you can also paint in? I don't do a ton of sketchbook painting, but every now and then I'll pop something down to work out a few ideas, but my current sketchbook doesn't work super well with paint

>>3643374
awesome hatching man. are you a cartoonist?

>>3643325
avoid the watery paints because no sketchbook is actually equipped to handle it.

Working on this atm, probably should of finished the line work before rendering, have a bad habbit of doing that.

>>3635841
ffs need to get this good

>>3637320
>finished inked pieces

Where else would one practice inking? If I am going to finish something do I have to say 'I am going to do an Art', remove the page from my sketchbook and put it on a drawing board, then put it in a plastic sleeve when I'm finished?

If someone is not paying you to make something or you are not hoping to sell it how do you decide whether it goes in a sketchbook or not? I do always wonder this when I see people complaining about finished pieces in a sketchbook. And I'm talking about sketchbooks with a mix of stuff here not those youtube 'sketchbooks' that are all pieces and no studies.

How do you guys decide what will go in a sketchbook or on a separate paper?

I managed to draw a nice enough Hitmonlee. I don't have a sketch book though
>>3631622
Really digging the style
>>3630289
I love the rocks

>>3643464
You're overthinking so hard and it's making my head hurt. Draw literally anything in your sketchbook. Don't worry about what's finished and what isn't. Draw whatever the fuck you want in your sketchbook, to whatever extent of finish that you want.

>>3643386
Even the blue XL?

>>3643505
Well that's how I always thought of it but then I see people on here arguing over what constitutes and what ought not be in a sketchbook so it made me wonder that I was doing it wrong. Some anons act like you have to stop working on something before you hit a certain point

>>3643464
generally sketchbooks are never meant for finished anything. is there anyone actually looking for sketchbook pages to buy off you? i mean that wouldnt be bad, because you can have all your pieces on one little book to flip through for art buyers, but this isnt the 70s anymore. you dont have to grind like that, its why generally everyone works digitally so people can click through their portfolio. these days, sketchbooks are for designing. purely designing.

>>3643542
>Some anons act like you have to stop working on something before you hit a certain point
Diminishing returns. You can do whatever you want, but illustrators and painters often have an end goal not found in a sketchbook. You can study and experiment with figures, techniques, rendering, designs and compositions but it doesn't translate to the intended medium in and of itself.

Its all just opinions, though.

>>3628174
Study your own. Grab a mirror and draw.

Alternatively, you can use google and search headshots or hair styles. Pinterest has some good face and head tutorials as well.

>>3643628
and what if I wanna draw someone that isn't real?

just having fun

>>3645972
and here's something from this morning

>>3646112
and another i just finished

Been working crazy ass hours, sketched up some character concepts real quick to get back into the groove.

>>3646324
Not a fan of the content but your inking skills are quite impressive.
Can I ask for a few tips?
>pic related

>>3646446
Not him but I just want to tell you your values are really cool, especially at thumbnail size. As a side note, I wanna see you vary your line weight more. Maybe that's just me?

>>3646446
invest in a pen or quill that you can refill and dont buy cheap ink.

experiment with brushes, technical pens, quills, markers and figure out what you like

learn how to use line weight and make sure all of your lines are deliberate, be patient because inking is way slower than drawing unless you do both at the same time. sculpt your lines

what dont you like about my content
what would you want to see instead

>>3647923
These are sweet. How long per skull?

>>3643464
Go through your sketchbook, pick out all the drawings that you don’t like and sacrifice them to the ink for practice

>>3648018
Now that's a good idea thank you

>>3648001
Didn't really measure, the quickest ones were probably around 5min.

Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful thing
美しいもので醜い価値を見いだす人は、魅力的でなければ腐敗しています。 美しいもので素晴らしい価値を見いだす人々は育てられます。 美しいものだけが美しさを意味するものです。 それはすべてそうです。 そのようなものは、道徳的または不道徳な本ですか? 本はよく書かれているか、あまり書かれていない。 それだけです。
s are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

Ok so like, explore the confusing angle of someone being in your house right because your composition kinda makes my eye scatter just like you would IRL

throw in a chicken somewhere just like really confuse people but have that be just a segway from the main point which is this is fucking frightening situation with a questionable end

Trying to sketch with ink and suddenly realise that I can't for shit draw people from imagination without corrections also can not get one clean line. Totally lost when it comes to hatching in a sense when to hatch with what intensity to look appealing. Any vids/tutors/books on that?

>>3652451

>>3652388
@jordi_milian

>>3628547
I really dig the James Bond-y car

>>3652451

I'd recommend studying the work of albrecht durer for hatching/figures

this is a study I did

I have a question, it may seem very silly.

Do you guys doodle around on 1 page, erasing and redrawing until you've settled on the final position of the drawing?

Then you go about rendering etc?

I ask because i have several pages in sketchbook filled with learning etc doodles and when doing final lines and inking i use a lightbox to transfer to new paper.

>>3653070
The important question to ask is why it matters what other people do. Do what works for you, anon. There is no right or wrong when it comes to what satisfies your brain during the process.

Haven’t had much time to draw lately, just trying to keep the hand movin’

How do I start a sketchbook without being embarassed about drawing in one? I either have to pad the first dozen pages with quick sketches of fruit or something, but even then I'll be worried that someone will judge me if they flip through it if it's ever found.

kind of an oldie but when I worked @ best buy I would draw the store & products during lulls/breaks

this proved to be an incredibly useful exercise because i had to be constantly walking around so i had to read the forms and not just copy the "image" from my eyes

>>3659693

>>3663731

no just Noodler's black. I use red ink as well but I don't shade with it

>>3663592
real cool, does the character not need some effect to convey motion though? i like what you did with the black and white squares but it looks like theyre moving and not him. unless thats whats happening?

>>3663592
Really great film, one of my favourites

>>3663736

>>3631622
The lions look kinda dopey, but holy shit is that hatching cool.

What sketchbooks y'all use? Looking to get into this.

>>3661136
Love the toon characters!

>>3664006
Personal preference:
I use strathmore mix media or sketch. Sketch can still handle light washes too.
I also use small sketch books that are easy to carry. When I worked as a cashier I used a very small pocket sketch book so I could take it with me and draw during our slow times.

>>3627986
Love your stuff do you follow any French artist blogs? I really like the few that I’ve found and was wondering if the French have their own art platform like how pixiv is to Asia (Japan)

>>3664171
bit of a miyazaki influence in your anime girls i see

Latest shadow studies, still a nub but im getting somewhere

>>3664343
These are good. Keep going. Really like the blinds/bared shadow on the upper right.

>>3645306
Try and find some faces with the general shape you want so you know what you should be aiming for, draw variations until you hit on one you like the most and try to replicate it several times until you're sure you have it down. Then throw it down as many times as you can fit on a page and use it to practice the facial features again until you strike on the ones you like. Once you have that face down, practice it again features and all. Once you've done that move on to hair, repeat the process again until you've settled on the "right" head.

>>3664375
Thanks for a thought and detailed answer, senpai.

>>3664711
Do they use any tags ‘french artist’ or anything in their native language? (Not sure if France has different dialects or how much it differs from Canada s French.)

>>3664721
Some use French in the little description under a post, some use english, while most of them use a little bit of each.
I don't remember anyone using "special" tags.
France has some dialects but it's more matter of accents, you won't notice it if someone writes on the internet.

>>3667135
Yep, watching his figure lessons rn, he is good at explaining. For now I like his method the most (of Reilly/Loomis/Hampton)

>>3667144
It looks very naturalistic

>>3667029
Thanks, the main goal is to have fun making them! On this page my prime focus was practicing value compositions. It's more of a relaxing thing for me though, and I don't really plan on taking any of these into a full-fledged piece.

>>3667144
I know what you mean, it’s a lot more practical

>>3667144
I like Reilly

>>3667144
Where do you get your info on the Reilly method?
Name of the book or anything else.

Some figure doodles and quick portraits.
Need to get into finished works, but it's hard for me.

>>3667269
Did you reference these or are they from your head?

Personally I like opening up kirta s art program and doing things like these with the alchemy tool (like a free selection that automatically fills your selected with color) I normally limit myself to complimentart colors or monochromatic.

>>3667330
Your body’s are good, NOW DO HANDS!

(No really hands are hard, mine are blocks)

>>3667333
no ref used
I didn't know krita had the alchemy tools built in, I'll try that out. Generally I haven't found a way to digital sketching that feels "right",so develop my ideas on paper before i go for the digital picture.

I normally post in these threads but I haven’t done much traditional sketching since I got an ipad

>>3667363

>>3667327
I've watched some of Watts atelier lessons

>>3667356
Those are good with no refs!
And krita doesn’t have the full alchemy tools just two random shapes brushes and the selection fill tool type thing.

And I get that, again I like kirta for drawing in verse clip studio. Feels more loose, but I do more sketching on paper.

>>3667363
I like that dude blasting off, the blast/smoke effects are cool

>>3667364
Looks like a leather seat, how did you get that effect?

>>3667467

(Laughs at the fuck you hand) these are good man. Very nice.

I should have stretched his clothes and maybe added a little smearing.

this one's really a toss-up, since the camera tracks him throughout the scene. - if the camera is moving at the same speed as other objects, they won't blur as long as the focus remains consistent.

It's why the other cars driving with us on the highway aren't blurry unless they're moving in the opposite direction
