Bump

I wish I did this on paper I could color

>>3771649
Cropped out guy

first drawing on my new sketchbook. i don't know how to properly use colored pencils, so it came out kinda weird. but idk, i like it

>>3772264

Bump.

>coloured pencils

the key is in layers. use lots and lots of layers, like five for a singe colour, instead of pressing hard. makes shit smooooooth. you blend colours this way too, of course.

>>3772264
looking noice

>>3772410
kewl

>>3773016
decent lines but the lighting looks a wee bit inconsistent

>>3773340
>the lighting looks a wee bit inconsistent
It was a shit job, there was a nurse watching me and I just wanted to finish as fast as possible

>>3773359
Also waterbrushes are fucking terrible, you can't control the water flow, they just pour and pour, I hate them but I can't go around with a cup of water and real brushes

>>3773017
They're all really good anon. I like them.

>>3771676
Nice.

>>3773359
>>3773379
>excuses

yeah, no

I guess this isn't really a sketch but its in a sketchbook so it counts

>>3774318
I love it, show me more

>>3774322
Thanks man, not to much else that seems very interesting to show, mostly just been doing anatomy studies recently but heres some stuff.

>>3774362

>>3774318
I like this one a lot

>>3773433
No excuses, just a bit of frustration

>>3774474

>>3772264
Back with them fineliners! Trying to make more decisive lines. Definitely looking cleaner than my first ones, but I'm still trying to figure out how to simplify/stylize some features.

>>3773340
Thanks, anon

>>3773016
This one is good. Right hand is inverted, though.

>>3772410
Nice hatching, compa.

>>3774558
whats the rules to this head challenge thing your doing? I wanna try it out too

>>3774475

Imagination heads here
>>3774773

>>3774773
No strict rules. You're supposed to make 100 heads in 10 days. I'm taking my time, to be honest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A_kQsxeeTE

hell yeah

Who do all my heads look like they have Downs? It's so incredibly frustrating, I'm thinking of using a gimmick like making everyone in my comic wear masks or making them furry
I draw a ball then a middle line for the brow then I draw the eyes and mouth but there's something I'm doing fundamentally wrong with the proportions. I tried changing the mouth shape and making the nose smaller and the eyes different in many ways but it always comes out so ugly.

>>3775962
This is slightly better but still ugly

>>3775967
Are my bodies ok? Someone told me the anatomy is awful to the point where it looks made up

>>3775969
its out of proportion.

>>3775969
Try drawing larger, or using a much thinner tool (micron pen/nib pen) and see how it turns out.

>>3775971
What is out of proportion? When I look at the bodies they look fine, I can't really tell what's wrong. It's maddening.

>>3775981
Oh when I draw larger it's even worse! The heads I draw on, say, a full A4 sheet are absolutely hideous.

Right now I'm using a 6B 3mm leadholder but if I draw with a B 0.3 pencil it's the same.

Here's a head tilting up

>>3775990
If it’s worse when you draw larger then the issue is construction and proportion. Do 24 head studies, 6 per page on an a4 sheet, filling the sheet. See if you don’t improve.

>>3775996
I've drawn thousands of heads for years. It's not something I can fix on my own

>>3775998
You must lack the spark then, maybe take up jogging?

>>3776000
Thank you that's very helpful

>>3776001
In all seriousness, drawing thousands of those thumbnail sized heads isn’t going to help you grind proportion, there just isn’t enough room to be subtle with it. Draw bigger.

>>3776005
Will it help me draw small though? I make comics, space is limited on the page and heads are generally a lot smaller than what I draw here. These are a few inches across, hand as reference. Not really thumbnail sized

>>3776031
Oh right, thought they were much smaller. I don’t know man.

posted this 3 times and it never got replies, is it so bad?

>>3776078
(you)

>>3776078
I like the face a lot! You did a good job with the whites, you didn't overdo it. The pose is a little uninteresting though.

>>3776031
Most comics are drawn larger than publication size. It's not a hard rule, but the common size is twice the actual printed size, so you can draw more easily - and images tighten up when reduced.

I rarely draw or paint at 1:1 ratio when it's being printed. Don't worry about drawing at actual size, your computer can resize at the end. Draw big. Own the page. Thumbnails even. Draw as big as you need to be able to draw the level of detail you want.

>>3776080
>>3776083
thanks (you) guys know what I wanna hear

I have returned.

>>3776089
I try to draw as large as possible and I stitch the pages from A4 scans in CSP but even then the heads are pretty small unless I'm doing a close-up. I've tried stitching single panels together but I end up with inconsistencies especially with watercolors.

>>3776109
This one is nice! You made the hair very fluffy

I live in a halfway house and I have nothing but time. I need to make money with art.

>>3776131
i like these but something looks weird about them

>>3776133
It's the eyes without pupil I think

more

>>3776107
The hatching here is messy. You need to follow the volumes, and when you crosshatch you need to slightly change the angle instead of going 90°
It needs to be a gentle buildup

>>3776144
will work on that with value studies thank you

this one is nice but next time pls erase the beard before

>>3776006
i liek turdles.

>>3776031
dude either sharpen your tool or use a mech. pencil. your intuition is good but you the thick stroke covers up subtle disproportions you then fail to identify but you feel something is off (or your wouldnt be asking)

>I draw with a B 0.3 pencil it's the same.
It seems as tho you are a lot comfortabler with your current tool... A good illustration tries to make use of all stroke thickness' tho

>>3776041
this guy used a thinner tool and you can see how much information the details at the eyes and nose give you about the depth of the face. tho the poster should've considered rotating and resizing the image before

>>3774983
Nice pepe.

>>3776171
>dude either sharpen your tool or use a mech. pencil
I'm just too lazy to search for the 3mm sharpener, went back to the 0.3

Anatomy looks absolutely fine to me, nice simple style

>>3775967
The issue is that you’re curving those faces around the head, the eyes and the mouth are curved but they sit across a pretty flat plane with a nose that protrudes forward, sonic has a pretty good video on drawing faces from different angles you should check out

>>3777641
Sonic... I meant sinix

>>3777641
>sinix has a pretty good video on drawing faces from different angles you should check out
Is it the one with the masks? When I used that they came out even worse. I'm going to draw a straight line across the brow and try placing the eyes over that. Thanks

>>3779290
yes

I've got a well-bound Daler-Rowney hardcover sketchbook, but it's about 110gsm and not really suited for dip pens. Wish they had a better one.

>>3778507
Thanks! I use a brush pen with only a bit of ink in it, so if I do fast brushstrokes with the side of the brush I can get a halftone. Slow strokes for solid lines

>studying color by doing yellow butts

No the most effective way to study colors butt at least you got your priorities straight.

>>3779492
I mean I'm a red-blooded ass-man, and the way I see it, if I'm going to get better by doing something long and tedious, may as well do it with some very interesting subject matter.

Obviously these women didn't actually come from the simpsons, but I'm wondering is it just an issue of cheap, limited palette or can I find a way to make good work outside of spending premium fees?

Also, thanks for the response, as always

>>3776078
Saw this posted like 1 year ago. Do you even do new art?

>>3776127
You could print out the complete comic page and watercolor that instead of the scanned originals.

>>3779245
Yeah I struggled a lot with that. Need to draw more hands.

Eye studies, learning the "generic anime style".

>>3779721
I've done that, I don't like it for a number of reasons, mostly that printouts of scanned inks don't come out nearly as good as the original scanned inks, at least on my laser printer. Maybe with a better printer? IDK

Something I do is sketch things digitally then print out and ink over that with a lightbox. It's so much easier to manipulate compositions and layouts digitally.

Another thing I did was scan things twice, first the inks then the watercolored inks and superimpose the ink layer over the colors, you get really crisp dark lines that make the colors look much better too.

took a stab at stippling a few weeks ago. this is what I made

>>3786836
Very nice my dude, how long did the whole process took you?

>>3787169
Thanks! I'd say around 2-3 hours on and off

>>3786836
Don't be afraid to clump the stippling more together to create some contrast, it'll make it look more cohesive and not like a connect the dots drawing. Nice work either way.
Pic tangently related, my unfinished owl.

First time posting. Recently got back into drawing. Trying to learn properly this time. This is where I'm at in desinging a character. Still hammering out details. Please be gentle.

Any advice for making the arms in second pic look right? I tried to draw them so it looked like they were bending back at the elbows but instead they just look like really stocky arms.

>>3780712
Make her preparing some haggis

>>3788158
Look at your post in the draw thread here
>>3783463
I give critique

>>3790230
Probably would have helped if I actually attached them.

>>3790574
You’re trying to put dimensional arms on a dimensionless paper doll. I see you’re doing ball joints and shapes, but why? It seems like you don’t know the reason for such things and you’re just adding them to flat images.

>>3790574
The humerus is too long and the forearm is too short. Thighs are too long. The fully extended arm should have the tip of the fingers at half a thigh's length.

Do you actually block in the main masses of the body like in pic related? Just imagine two connected boxes, one for the chest and the other for the hips. If you offset them slightly you obtain a more dynamic gesture (watch Renaissance statues to see how they use this, contrapposto or figura serpentinata), and it's easier to draw the legs and the arms from there. Even just a little bit makes your figure appealing.

You need to learn the muscles to draw a good arm. There are subtle shapes even in feminine arms that are given by how the shoulder inserts into the arm etc.

If you're learning you need to understand the basic mannequin, draw perspective lines if you need aid to place the main masses in space. You should be able to draw a mannequin in any position, pretty much. After you know how to do that it's all about building the anatomy on top, anatomy is just memorization, it seems like a lot but you start with the big things first like the general shape of the chest and the main muscles and then you go in depth with the smaller things.

The best way to go about this is to make characters you care about and keep a book like Bridgman or Loomis handy and follow the process as you go. The final product being something you care about will make studying easier, don't fall into the grind meme.

Finished filling out a couple pages

>>3790582
Thanks for the reply man and you're right. I'm not making full use of the benefits that constructing a drawing out of 3d shapes can give me.

I'm not sure I have me head wrapped around it completely but I'll pay more attention to it.

>>3790602
Thanks for the thought out response anon.

I actually do use Loomis as reference a lot and I'm following his proportion guides. Each drawing is about 11inches broken into 8 separate sections. I then try follow the rest of the placements for his guide.

I do use blocks to build up my 'stickman'(?) but like I mentioned in my reply to other anon I've mostly neglected to use 3d shapes outside of the head.

If it's at all relevant the block I usually use for the chest is akin to an upside down trapezoid and for the hips it's like an upside down triangle with a rectangle attached to the top. I'm still trying to shake some of the habits I ingrained when trying to learn to draw manga/anime as a teen.

Anyway man, thanks for the reply. I'll pay more attention to building up the mannequin properly.

>>3786836
>>3787231
Love stipling, such a neat way to enhance a drawing. Pic related is from a previous sketchbook.

>>3775969
I like the body. Completely anatomically correct? No, but close enough that I don't think it matters. The head doesn't seem like it meshes with the style though

>>3790625
This'll probably be my last post in this thread because I don't want to clutter it up and I'm sure there are more appropriate threads for it.

Anyway this is what my frames generally look like but this time I did try and pay a bit more attention. I shouldn't have done it in this pose because I'm still barely getting to grips with a front view but I thought it might be better to demonstrate me trying to draw in a 3d space.

>>3790582
>>3790602

Does it look like I have a better grip of this or am I still not getting.

Is going to be the same character by the way so I'm not sure if the hips are big enough.

>>3790602
>The best way to go about this is to make characters you care about .. . . . something you care about will make studying easier, don't fall into the grind meme

I don't feel so bad now. Every bit of advice I normally get is 'draw thing you don't like and keep drawing thing you don't like until you git gud'.

Yeah that's how you burn out really fast

>Does it look like I have a better grip of this or am I still not getting.
You are trying to draw the masses directly. Draw the chest and pelvis as literal boxes, then you sculpt the shape of the ribs etc. on top. and draw the shape of the bones for the legs and arms., then draw the volumes on top. Go from simple to complex.
The legs don't attach to the front of the hips like that, they go to the sides and in females it's quite pronounced. Make a very simple mannequin and then look at anatomy to fill in the shapes. Anatomy is all about memorization. I recommend looking at rotatable 3D models online especially for the pelvis, it's going to make it much easier to understand the shape. The hips themselves in women are only slightly larger, what really gives shape to them is the legs coming out from the sides and the iliac crest.
BASIC mannequin > big bones > muscles

>>3790613
There's something very slightly off about the facial proportions. The eyes, mouths etc don't seem to QUITE line up. I almost hate to tell you that because literally everything else about it is pretty good. You're very close to being "skilled", at least by my own standards. And for what it's worth you're also better than me.

so get practicing buddy :)

>>3790574
>>3790602
how about they just practice drawing from actual reference eh

>>3791099
Needs a bit of both. You need ref to understand what those shapes resemble.

What I believe is a good exercise is draw your picture, identify the issues, draw a similar pose from reference, draw your initial one again with the memory of the last drawing fresh. Compare the improvement.

>>3790814
A bit late but thanks for the input, advice and suggestions man, I really appreciate it.

>>3791008
Hey I really appreciate you pointing that out. It's something that has always gave me trouble and I don't know why. Trying to improve on it along with everything else, thanks man.

>>3784513
Screenshot it. I love it

>>3791069 The drawing reminds me of astroboy, etc and fits the style well
The coloring looks like someone did it in a coloring book with a crayon though. Not sure if that was intentional or not.
unless this is litterally a coloring book and I'm missing the whole point of the file name

>>3784520
Try keeping the line of the mouth parallel to the line between the eyes.

I used really shitty pencils that I had on me at the time so I kind of regret that as it looks messy, but overall I like the idea

>>3795351
very cool but thats not a sketch anymore imho this is a finished piece already

also sometimes it seems that you're trying to hide your insecurities by choosing aesthetic line curvature and or thick expressive strokes over realism. (backline, shoulderbone,hair etc.)

I know this because I do it too, if you really wanna get better you need to be sure about the 3d shape first. only figuring out the main shadows might take you as long as it took to finished your piece but you can be a lot more confident when advancing from sketching to coloring.

Dont get me wrong it looks good only it makes me imagine that when I asked you to draw her in another perspective you'd have a very hard time

>>3795370
Dude that’s actually a really in depth criticism and I appreciate it ! The reason for the thick line art is that I wanted to create a drawing that embodies all the things that I’m insecure about drawing- like people from the side, obscure light sources, thick line art (I normally do thin) and limited colour use. I do see exactly what you mean though, I’ll try working on what you told me :’) thank you

Dead tree or leaves? Still got to decide

Get a Factis BM2 Eraser and refills, a TK9400 Fabercastell 2mm lead holder and whatever softness lead you want and a led pointer.

Than just use any decent sketch book.

I do most of my stuff on 28lb hammermill Copy paper then cut it out and glue it into a dirt cheap Bee mixed media sketchbook that I sometimes paint in.

Your brushwork is great. I am just trying to get into the brushpen myself. Any other tips?

>>3797874
No but I draw a lot of heads

Just a quick little Hex Maniac from the other day

I think the other anon is on the right track with the FAS thing. Google image search physical characteristics of fetal alcohol syndrome and compare to your drawings. A big thing with both fas and down is extra skin coming down the inside corners of the eyes and upward slanting eyes so I would stop making the top line of the eyes so hard and bold all the way across. Make it thinner as you go inward. Other characteristics of fas is flat bridge of nose, short nose, thin upper lip, and not having that divot in between nose and mouth.

Shoo shoo traditionalfags

Holy shit /ic/ sucks. No wonder it's a shit hole if 90% draw as if they are 10 years old

I draw decent furries even though I rarely draw them. Furries are a lot easier to draw than people

>>3798023
this was my most recent attempt at a human head after practicing

>>3798023
colored this just for kicks

The crosshatching is really good anon

Any cheap A4 sized sketchbooks you guys recommend

>>3798688
Any, you can get generic ones at most art or stationary suppliers. The only main difference with the cheap ones is hard bound or spiral. The gsm and tooth are usually pretty much the same.

From the thumbnail I would have sworn it was The Crow

>>3798688
I just use one of those rigid things with a spring for documents and a stack of printer paper when I'm messing around at home. Otherwise I made a custom ring binder I carry in my backpack

Just finished this drawing. First finished drawing after coming back from a slump.

Some random shit from imagination

>>3799567
Sketchbook thread? More like "sketchbook shred!"

>>3798738
It gives me The Crow vibes too !

Spent a day scribbling venom

>>3798089
what did you use to make this? love the pen specifically, really nice

>>3799972
I inked it with a kabura nib, then I painted it in watercolor but I scan twice, once for the inks and once for the colors, then I overlay the inks. It makes them look nice and black.

thoughts? i

You need to think about where the cranium is and the fact that hair has volume. Work on your forms and know that it's okay to draw through something to figure out where to place everything. You can always erase the lines you don't need or use a lightbox or something to trace over and just get the lines you want.

>>3776140
i like this a lot

>>3800145
i dont like furfags or comic weeb shit, but this is good for a sketch book drawing.

>>3800145
cute as all hell

What is this ? I think it's good but too smart for me. I wish I could be good

Wish it was better.

I saw the Higashimura gag manga about TDK and wondered what it would look like as a horror manga. They wouldn't have cut away during the pencil trick for one thing.

It's sort of Junji Ito influenced. I wanted him to look more like Jordan Peterson or the Trainman in the Matrix than Ledger.

Ehhh. Christmas drawings

Drawing tutorials while watching a Mao documentary.

More tutorials. Summaries of Dwight MacDonald, Spengler, Milosz. They speak about how editorialism is foreign to American journalism, how questions of fact are debated in American life, how the Soviets assess things in terms of their general principles.

Three forms of questions are related to historical men in Spengler.

As you can see in these pics I've had issues with consistent character design, especially faces, so I've been trying to improve on that. Looking at them makes me sad.

It helped when I figured out how much to properly utilise Loomis' 'Ball and Plane' method to get a consistent base for the head. These were my first attempts today.


>>3797166
Keep up the good stuff anon. Have you found it difficult to draw the same character and get it to look like it in your head? I mean as far as I can see you've done a pretty good job at getting her consistent but I was just wondering if you ever feel like you haven't?

>>3793560
>generic . . . style and more towards my own

I know what you mean man. Do you feel like when you try to branch out your new stuff just looks worse?

>>3800699
These are the second lot. I know I have a long way to go but it's nice to see them and be able to think I see an improvement.

Also I didn't want to shit up the thread with too much of my 'learning to figure shit out' drawings because I thought this thread would hit image limit so fast. I'm new here so is this just a slow board or what?

>>3800699
>I was just wondering if you ever feel like you haven't?
It's strange because with characters that are unrealistic I never have this problem past the part where I'm designing them, but if I create a human character my consistency falls apart completely. I'm /beg/ tier with human faces

>>3800701
Yes, /ic/ is quite slow compared to the other boards. Then with a sketchbook thread, you have to take into account that a good bit of people on this board don't draw or only rarely. There are also people who dont want their work associated with this site. And a lot of people only do digital.

These things are why sketchbook threads are so comfy though. Just a small amount of people sharing some daily scratchings.

Don't do it Jogger

still very much a /beg/inner

>>3801501
another one

So i've been doing some more character practice and I'm figuring out the 'formula' to get this character somewhat consistent and decent looking(aiming for second from top left).

I tried to draw her from the side for the first time and jesus what did I do wrong? I can't put my finer on it but it just looks 'off'. Especially compared to the front and 3/4 views.

Any advice, critique or suggestions?

That is pretty comfy.
By the way, what's the image limit here?

>>3801501
>>3801502
these are great

some1 make new thread bls

>>3802611
What kind of paper is that?

>>3788463
blog?

>>3802628
It's just called "natural paper" or something like that. Hard to get a hold of though.
