more crap

>>3739297
Basically no one cares.

>>3739305
I find sketchbooks and practice pages more interesting to look at than fully rendered pieces.

>>3739310
There you go, i can only draw shitty faces from my imagination.

>>3739297
cute

Ok

>>3739297
We still have some solid ones, you just have to keep it alive until the sketchbookfags see it and have pages to post. Bumping with a page from last thread

Ive been inspired by mythology lately

>>3739615
I like your style senpai.

Shit picture, enjoy

>>3739640
Thank you! Really appreciated.

>>3739318
Here are some more.

i have a hard time drawing faces so i've been trying to practice them

scrunch

>>3739318
they're good though

>>3739615
>>3739670
such nice lines

>>3740456
cute face, aaah i should practice rendering

>>3740510
forgot to put my nametag on so i will make a post about it

>>3740444
I want to hug you for some reason

>>3740510
Thanks anon, i really appreciate it.

>>3740511
I need a hug.

>>3740444
Nice. What are you inking with?

We should have a sketchbook thread just for figure drawing and not pornography.

>>3740456
wait, it that the guys from re-animator?

nice skills btw

>>3741183
Thanks. The tool i think it's called micro marker.

My friend and I were into automatic drawing recently. Here's what happened with mine. It was extremely therapuetic!

>>3739310
I agree.
>>3739318
>>3739646
Really like these. Twitter/ig?
>>3740542
Group hug this anon

Does anyone know how to build a perfect 5 point template with measurements/diagrams? I would like to build a scene that looks as exact as possible.

A friend ask me to teach her how to draw some stuff, I told her "I'm not a fucking teacher, just search, you have hands and Internet", then she offer me food... And men, I have to eat.
I'm mexican, that's why some notes are in Spanish.

Opinions on this?

!!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!
I wish you all an epic 2019 with much glory,happiness,overcoming challenges /+\victories and cool mind blowing art absorption and creation.

better than nothing, but don't expect to improve.

Lately i love to make fast doddles based in florence welch movés in her concerts

>tfw I never just doodle
I always think of doodling as being non-constructive and a waste of paper. Occasionally I'll get the urge to doodle, but whenever I do, it comes out like shit, so I stifle it.

I spend all my time doing studies, meticulous practices, and sketches. I suppose my art's improving, but I haven't actually made a real piece of work that I could show off to anyone. Nothing I'm proud of anyway.

>>3744847
yeah you almost need one of those .5mm Frixion Point pens to doodle. The fact that you can always erase is very relieving.

>>3744847
Post your work

>>3744621
I love the flow of this. Reminds me of old final fantasy art work.

I've been spending a lot of time rendering and painting and lining. It's been a while since I've done a quick sketch and left it at that. Here's one that turned out really cute!

I can only draw cats from behind

>>3745978
Sorry for double post

I'll toss my hat in.

I'll be conservative and just post one or two

>>3746296

I relate to this a lot

>>3746393
good job anon keep it up
loomis is great but its just a tool to improve imagination drawing. dont be a fundies cuck :)

>>3746514
Thanks anon, i really appreciate that. I was just kidding with the Loomis thing btw :P

thoughts?

>>3746670
Calm down and work on your lines and take your time.

>>3746670
It's shit, read sticky.

>>3742359
yo can i use this as album art for my band's ep? this is super dope.

work post it note

doodling is good for meditation stop being a stuck up cuck about it.

I'm preparing to paint my mother

>>3740473
This looks like how I drew on Adderall. Anon do you have something to confess?

Just a shit sketch I did in 20 minutes

>>3744847
I doodle way more than I actually draw. Even if I don't have an idea for something for a full page or too lazy to to do proper studies I would just draw something from imagination or copy body parts - like eyes, mouth and so on.

Being unable to erase is kind of a good way to shame yourself into drawing better.

>>3746393
What do you use for the outline?

>>3746990
Just a regular black permanent marker.

>first ever drawing
>"eh, I feel like the girls eyes could be a little better, I'll just quickly redo them"
>looked so awful I had to bandage them up
>thanks to my fuckup she'll never see again

Why do I feel bad for a drawing?

>>3747118
Because you suck.

>>3739297
1.Nobody uses a scanner
2.Nobody mankes any effort to resize the image(annoying)
3.everybody is a normie
4.sketch books are outdated(digital age)

>>3747151
>4.sketch books are outdated(digital age)
Not really. If you're a beginner who doesn't want to drop 100+ on a tablet, if you're sketching on the go, or just prefer traditional formats. Not everyone is a wannabe concept artist.

>>3747151
>1.Nobody uses a scanner
Not everyone has a scanner. Yeah, the pics could be better, but at least these people are drawing, which is the main point
>2.Nobody mankes any effort to resize the image(annoying)
Agreed
>3.everybody is a normie
You're a special snowflake, of course.
>4.sketch books are outdated(digital age)
That's absolutely retarded, you sound like a boomer who just learned about Google Assistant and thinks they're living in the future

>>3739297

Quick sketches of three actresses I like. I might as well get some advice while I'm here. I have some questions:

>I'm new to this whole illustration thing at 30, how much should I sketch a day?
>Which books or videos cover the fundamentals best?
>I use a Uni Ball Kuru Toga 0.5mm, should I use different grade pencils instead to begin with?
>Should I keep buying layout paper or get a lightbox?
>My scanner is a HP Deskjet 1515 (it's a decade old), what's a better alternative?
>How often should I attend a life drawing class?
>I feel more confident working without guidelines and struggle when I use them, how do I overcome this frustration?

Will upload some more sketches.

>The elegiac couplet is presumed to be the oldest Greek form of epodic poetry (a form where a later verse is sung in response or comment to a previous one). Scholars, who even in the past did not know who created it,[2] theorize the form was originally used in Ionian dirges, with the name "elegy" derived from the Greek ε, λεγε ε, λεγε—"Woe, cry woe, cry!" Hence, the form was used initially for funeral songs, typically accompanied by an aulos, a double-reed instrument. Archilochus expanded use of the form to treat other themes, such as war, travel, or homespun philosophy. Between Archilochus and other imitators, the verse form became a common poetic vehicle for conveying any strong emotion.

I'm stuck in a hotel with my family and all I have is a pen send help

Inking with micron pens. I'd like to use something with a point that tapers a bit more, but I haven't yet found a satisfying alternative.

>>3747681
i like these

Posted in the /beg/ thread. Now working on drawing the skull from other angles and learning about the different features of the face and how they all fit in

>>3747650

I like how I'm ignored when I ask for a few pointers. Reddit was right, /ic/ is an elitist circle jerk of anime approval and 'git gud' worshipping plebs.

This, i use CamScanner, works really well.

looked better when I was high

this is not new but I could use some (you)'s right now

>>3743509
do not teach
you do not undestand any fundamentals at all

Any tips on drawing realistic lips?

>>3749358
compensating for the lack of skill with flashy effects
it looks fun, but that back in the left corner is more important
practice more anon

>>3746199
cool
>>3746393
nice, you used some art ref for the girl tho be honest, I've seen this exact pose so often it can't be coincidence

>>3739670
>>3739615
look up a czech called Mucha!

>>3749380
its the front actually but yes practice is due

it's not meant to be qualitative tho just entertaining, like a cartoon

>>3749377
I see you can already draw the shape, now for practice I'd start with only one single shade of gray to form the shape instead of instantly drawing with gradients.

you can always render detailistic lightining in after you have determined the shape of the grey area

>>3749400
>I see you can already draw the shape, now for practice I'd start with only one single shade of gray to form the shape
wait, what? If I can draw the shape, why are you advising me to practice drawing the shape more? I'm not saying it's a bad advice, I'm just confused.

I like to draw landscapes from imagination

Bless up papi forgot I posted that here.

>>3746296
>>3746302

wew, how similar this is to the shit I did as a beginner is cringe worthy. drawing different "eye styles" to see which one I liked best, and your typical "how do I renderings a sphere." even the complimentary crossing out of a shit drawing. pain!

projecting aside, you have a long ways to go anon, hang in there

>>3750443

>>3750193
you can already draw the outlines of the shape now practice your rendering using only black, white and grey colored shapes. only one shade of grey at first and if you feel confident you can do more.

>>3749377
the lightning on the upper left lip tells me you are still figuring out where to put the highlights. you should be confident with this before moving to full gradients though

sry if I was unclear

>>3750679
ohhh, yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the advice, Anon!

>>3750485
You think my long path is doable in a productive year of DAD?

Also thanks for the shitique

And here's somthing that's actually recent

>>3756183
I had the app for 5 minutes and it already made a fool of me. Fuck.

>>3757987
I got high as shit and sketched this at my friend's house to see what I could do without a reference and then the next day I got high again and colored it with my Wacom tablet.

>>3757928
I really like this one.

Hey, is anyone else going to do the 100 heads challenge? ( https://youtu.be/0A_kQsxeeTE )

3 heads in and I'm noticing I have a hard time drawing expressions — 2 and 3 are supposed to have this slightly angry look. Also fucc noses :(

Some stuff I wouldn't post anywhere else.

>>3758403
i like these
>>3758356
100 heads from ref and 100 heads from imagination? Sounds like one of those DAD challenges.

Shitty study on perspective
I have always drawed from "what looked right" and now I'm fucked not knowing how circles work in perspective
I tried drawing with no references to force myself to draw with just logic and technic and no references for the perspective but it came out like this
I'm retarded
Anyone got tips on drawing circular shapes in perspective?

>>3758766
Forgot pic

>>3739318
>Spyro
My nigga

Bump

Top hat owl

>>3758766
Try drawing a cylinder first, then add the details, i guess.

>>3758356
>>3758730
There are no rules, really. The goal is to draw 100 heads in 10 days, purpose being acquiring mileage.

>>3759210
But it doesn't help with the circular perspective problem at all
I mean, drawing parallel lines will not, for itself, give any more information on how distorted the circle should be than if I drew only a top and bottom mark

>>3758031
Thanks
I have a habit of drawing necks too long, but I kinda like it.

>>3759469
Sorry i'm not understanding you, with circular you mean something like a fish eye perspective?

>>3758356
Another page. I thought I was better than this. Oof.

>>3757675
you can get a cheapo sketchbook with 90 pages for like 10 bucks dude

Just made this at work right now because I saw a crappy David choe painting of a car where he completely fucked up the perspective like a child. Mine isn't perfect but it took about 2 minutes and I used zero tools of any kind.

>>3758766
>...force self to draw...
Dude, relax. It sounds like you dont even like to draw. Why force yourself to do something you dont already enjoy?


more studies but i lack doodle power>>3757073

Practicing shading

>>3760389
>to force myself to draw >>with just logic and technic and no references<<
I'm not forcing myself TO DRAW, I meant I was forcing me to do it in a different way
'Forcing' in the sense of "deliberately focusing on doing it in a certain way"
I like drawing, no need to jump to conclusions about me when you cherrypick fragments of the entire sentence, m8
>>3759536
No, no, I'm talking about circular shapes in perspective
Like, a circle is a circle when you see it from the front, and it becomes more and more elliptical the more you rotate it until it's a flat line, get it? I want to know how to do proportions for it (the height in relation to the length)
I don't think my proportions are entirely right in this >>3758768

>>3761069
nvm, the post just seemed like you were really frustrated from the getgo. I misinterpreted.


more studies >>3760389

How do I learn how to crosshatch

moar

>>3759657
They all look pleasing except #6 because that pose is hard and the shading is too harsh
I like this sketchy indie comics style a lot

>>3761653
Thanks for the commentary, anon. 6 is the worst I've made so far, a total disaster. I may try to draw it again.

I'm experimenting with a regular bic pen now, pic related. Line and value variation makes things a lot easier.

6 years of practice for this

>>3759657
pretty cool style
>>3759694
uhh alrighty then
>>3760389
nice, I like the shading, it's not overdone
>>3760554
the shoulder actually looks pretty nice.
>>3761026
dig the shading
>>3761217
I would maybe try to draw it smaller than that so your pencil makes thicker marks.
>>3761607
pretty cool looking at them all together. The biggest guy's jacket looks really strange with that shadow thing u got going on with his arm. check out some quick references of jackets!

pet some goats at the zoo. so funny looking.

>>3761673
Hmm, feeling the same way lately

>>3761673
I can't pinpoint why I like your faces so much but I wanted to let you know that it feels like they have volume.

>>3761673
Looks like you’re drawing with your fingers. Try this: for large lines draw with your elbow, for medium lines use your wrist, and only use your fingers for little details or 1 inch lines. Once you learn to draw big I bet it’ll fix some of your other problems

>>3761688
>tfw skipped

>>3761742
this is good advice.. almost the only advice ya need in drawing really

>>3761744
hey now don't get salty. it happens to everyone.

>>3758768
too hard on yourself man, it looks pretty cool.
you know what you need to do is just draw that same thing from imagination 10 more times and you'll be 100 times better.

Faces from reference.

>>3761800

Some figure drawing from last night.

>>3761801
looks like you're really getting somewhere bud

>>3762016
Why are my images being posted rotated when they are shown in the correct position on my phone.

...A-a-asking for a friend....

>>3762023
Check the orientation of the phone when you take the picture. Your iPhone notices when you actually meant to take the picture in a vertical and portrays it as such in Photos. Just rotate it to the correct position while editing it and you should be good. Or just dump it to your computer first and then post there.

>>3762023
This happens to me too, but if I edit them in a photo editor app it's fixed. It's got something to do with metadata

>>3761801
>>3761800
These are great.

inspired by the hospital i'm in atm for my brother. meningitis is a fucker. i played him some bossa nova and bach though and he was nodding along. also he asked what day it is so he has a concept of having no concept of time. he's not gonna be a vegetable!!

but seriously what is with hospitals and having no aesthetic appeal. as if pleasure was unhygienic..

another one

aaand another

and another one i guess. productive day..

>>3762023
glad i'm not the only one who accidentally posts sideways

>>3761069
Draw the circles inside a square in perspective, with diagonals drawn to find the perspective center

>>3761673
More garbage. I hate my art so much

>>3762085
my best advice is

i. draw from life

and

ii. (optional) draw whilst on dissociatives.. helps you learn how to loosen up. i never drew the same after dextromethorphan lol

>>3762089
I've drawn from life for years
I'm just shit at drawing from imagination

>>3761898
i feel nothing

>>3762094
then take option ii.

that or.. when you draw, especially from life, don't use a pencil sketch to begin with. lay down the law! it'll help you gain confidence.

>>3762101
Why am I even drawing again, I should have stayed quit

>>3762062
I thought of that, but how do I know where to draw the perpendicular lines? I mean, I draw the perspective lines, okay, but how do I know how far apart are they supposed to be?
Not trying to be a stubborn fagget but I'm not willing to read the entire "draw a box" for one simple question I may get the answer here
>>3762045
Glad to hear that, anon
Are you brazilian? I'd recommend Jacob do Bandolim, Pixinguinha and Garoto
Not Bossa Nova, but it's Choro, and you and your brother may enjoy it
Btw I like your style
Makes me think of a more ellaborate version of Invader Zim

>>3762212
Yeah, just saw it on here so figured it would be a good motivator

>>3762119
Thanks man, for the recs and the compliment!
By the way, my brother looked over my shoulder while I was scrolling through this thread (dad was trying to tell him how he'd ended up in a hospital bed in a rather hesitant and dreary way) and just said "4chan". Top fucking kek. He doesn't know what he studies at university but he knows that. Not even a big 4channer lmao

>>3762239
Damn man I hope your brother recovers.

>>3762242
Thanks, should be ok I think! Some retarded paramedics jeopardised his safety by disregarding him initially but now he's getting the right stuff so yeah.
Oh and I'm English, sadly, not Brazilian.

>>3762100
I'm sorry you're a fag who needs to feel something in order to appreciate art, I don't draw that to make you feel anything, it's garbage I produce on the daily to practice inking and freehand drawing

Kek, I know the exact picture you used for reference.

>>3761774
I'll try that, anon
This one is the first try (not counting those doodlings just to imagine how it'll turn out, of course), and I plan on drawing it a few more times
It'll get good soon, thanks!
