finished this yesterday

A drawing I did a while back of some weird Russian in my local train, with a mullet and dressed like he came from the 80s

Made these qts while doodling

>>3802412
Wait
Does a sphere lit from one direction get brighter as it reaches its shadow?

>>3803975
Look into reflected light.

>>3803977
Wow I guess I must have straight up forgotten

>>3803959
What kind of paper is that, just curious?

>>3803982
dotted grid or something like that.

A few months old but it's probably one of my favorites

>>3803959
Damn anon, blog?

>>3804056
dang dude, don't have one. I guess i should though, so made one just now : lorits.tumblr.com

relevant sketch

just random doodles

more of these

>>3804223
are these just thumbnails for something bigger?
either way, you would make great storyboards

>>3804225
thanks, ive been wanting to make comics since I started drawing but am not a very good storyteller or writer, so after a decade of trying to get good enough to make comics and not feeling like im quite there ive just started making unrelated panels and thumbnails of scenes from my commute.

>>3803975
I did another trying to make the reflected light less bright, but I liked the first one better overall.

You guys are not gonna believe what I’m going to draw next.
A skull.
On a book.
Oh man, can you believe it?
It’s gonna be awesome!

>>3804297
your reflected light is still too bright compared to the midtone

the core shadow is too soft and should wrap around the sphere at the edges of the diameter, not the center

the horizon line edge should be softened to create more atmospheric perspective

sharpen the origin of the cast shadow

the highlight position should not be right at the contour of the sphere

your application of graphite is good

>>3804313
Hahahaha hahahaha!

>>3804313
On it.

>>3804313

>>3804312
>tfw thats what i was going to post

>>3806131
Also life sketch from sculpture park with ink and coffee

>>3806131
>>3806133
Love it, Anon.

i really want to learn to draw bodies from memory,im reading about anatomy but im too dense to actually go and study it,i prefer to keep on drawing till ill nail it,throw shit at the wall until it sticks so to speak

>>3806425
you're gonna get tired of your shit doodles and be forced to draw from life in no time

>>3806133
Good stuff!

>>3806450

>>3806489
Whoops I’m a dumb mobile poster u3u

>>3806450
>MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAYY
youre right,but id rather be wrong and have fun drawing

>∫Melancholia∫
In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking
Saying that she'd take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain

>>3806450
OPs busts arent that bad tho

>>3806539
>>3806425
not him but study Hampton and do art you like
believe me it's a bit tiring at first but it makes it so much more fun

>>3806425
you cant just draw and get better anon. Studying drawing can seem hard but it really isn't. Open an art book, put on some nice music and just relax. Something that has helped me enjoy myself a lot more is realizing that simple things like studying anatomy are quite easy and can be relaxing. They just take a bit of time. And being good at drawing feels great so take the time to learn if it something you want to do.

made this yesterday

>>3806889
and this

A bengal tiger from life, sadly it moved before I could get more details, but it was a very plesant exercise and experience.

6/6 crit appreciated

>>3806131
Drawing the same thing as seen previously in ALOT:) of other threads.
Almost same setup.
I’m excited to be doing this and hear people’s responses:)

>>3806882
Not him, but wow dude!
I vote this the best encouragement I’ve seen on here.
I personally appreciate just reading it.
I failed 4 times today on this thing I’m working on. I did finally get something on paper, and know I still got corrections to do, but now I’m more encouraged!

>>3807150
Oops, forgot image.

>>3806911
Looking good man.
Take another look at the eyes again( not the last one obviously).
Looks slightly small.
The last one(6/6), on the far right..bravo!

>>3806912
>>3806914
Sharpen your pencil like in the pic and learn to draw with the side of it for shading
you're still thinking in symbols, try to read the underlying form rather than what your eye sees

Bump

>>3807324
Using the side is one way to shade. I had a teacher in college who hated shading like that, others hated using smudgers, it's all personal preference. His shading is fine, as far as technique goes, his issue is how he's applying it.

Wanted to draw a Japanese-inspired demon girl, the poses look pretty stiff cause I didn’t sketch and went straight in with pen

i attempted to draw Kars, I'm still learning muscles

Tuning up an older study.

>>3808341
Fun!

>>3808346

>>3804223
So good!

>>3804223
really great!

>>3808347
>>3808346
Really good stuff, anon. Btw, i've always wanted to ask a good artist why some - if not most - good artists sketch like that.
I'm talking about those shaky loose lines with very little detail defined. Why do you make bold marks in certain places and pretty much no marks at all in some others? Is it a matter of style or does it help you to think about the shapes or some shit like that?

>>3806882
How do you even start studying shit like anatomy?

I drew this dumb frog to test out some new pens I got. My first time trying out this heavy ink style.

>>3808469
Something else I did with those pens

A little kingdom hearts art because I just beat the game and I’m sad now.

>>3808469
cool

>>3808421
Thanks for the compliment!
It helps to convey distance, light and darkness, and it is also a stylistic choice. It makes things pop. But yeah, if one part of a body is under more light it will not be as defined as one in shadow.
If i want attention on a certain detail, it will be bolder. If it is farther away, it will be simple, etc.

>>3806863
sexy proprtions on your skeleton lady

Life drawing, crits would help

>>3809476
looks like you almost ran outta room there, his head is just a smidge from being cut off. Maybe its because you start a drawing by doing small details first before looking at the bigger picture? I mean, you focus on the little things which can lead to running out of room on the page, misaligned features and a ton of time spent. Try lightly drawing the major forms first and narrowing it down to secoundary and tertiary forms before focusing on the details.

>>3808869

>>3809590
Wow that's exactly what I did for that drawing, appreciate the advice

I haven't drawn much of anything in like 2 years and it shows. I was recently given some sketching markers and I like em a lot, and so I got back into it. I feel like I've fallen back on symbol drawing, but every once in a while I have these brief periods of lucidity where I can feel my old skillset pushing it's way through my brain. I'll post a couple pictures. I know the shading is most likely incorrect on these but I just wanted to add neat splashes of color with the markers

>>3810877
number 2 of 3

>>3810879
and finally 3 of 3. This is my starfinder character I've been playing as with some buddies. Starfinder is basically DnD in space, if anyone doesn't know

Drew something for a bud of mine.

Been working on this for a long while, hopefully I don't fuck up the back ground.

>>3811243
Don't worry, you already fucked up the anatomy.

>>3811021
not a sketch
get out

>>3811294
But it’s in my sketchbook. So it belongs here.

>>3811243
Damn my anon, your hatching and textures are nice. You should work on your anatomy tho. Shit's got potential.

>>3811306
Well said. Good work btw, I like your lines.

low effort dinguses, gotta save up for a tablet with a screen cause i cant use the pad for shit

>>3807324
Also you could just get an all graphite pencil. I highly suggest it.

bamp

>>3811292
>>3811940
What part of his anatomy is fucked up though? And for reference, his right hip is rotated and pointing almost directly at the viewer, and his shoulders are not, I've taken references of the pose from a body builder, with those actual proportions as well...the anatomy is sound.

>>3812441
Sure thing pal

>>3802251

>>3812688
what the FUCK is this

Ughhh

Some track/field women for leg anatomy

tried drawing a titi. my fundies are nonexistent but it was fun.

>>3808347
some nice lineart here anon
keep it up

>>3806914
I like this one. Good expressions and nice to look at. Push contrast, anon.

>>3809590
Yay hatching :) Those characters remind me of escape from witch mountain.

>>3811982
Is that shapiro

Bump

last thing i worked on. mortal kombat 4 era sonya-

Just did this while waiting for my woman to get out of the doctor with our newborn.

The fact that everyone says it's good is beyond me. I prefer digital.

>>3817736
Fukkin nice anon. And yea I know what you mean.

>>3817736
Congrats on the kid. If you use digital you should scan that in and do more with it. I always do my stuff in private because nomalfags think everything is fucking great myself.

>>3815202
that study is beautiful, the right page needs some polishing and tweaking and it looks unfinished

>>3815225
I’m intrigued and want to see your other work

>>3816136
I think the hands and legs look very appealing but her torso seems at odds with her lower half.
>>3816612
is she meant to look that angry? also I’m curious as to whether you used a ref for that lower half. work on your faces but please keep drawing bodies like that.
>>3817736
gorgeous! also congratulations

>>3817736
Not gonna lie, that's actually nice as fuck for a waiting room doodle, how long did it take?

>>3817737
>>3817742
>>3817747
>>3817751
Thanks lads, also it took around 15-20 minutes. I will probably scan it in and make it something when I have time.

>>3817736

Rorring goooouh~

how do i stop chicken scratching?

>>3819179
Eraser

>>3819179
that's not chicken-scratching

>>3816173
yes

>>3819179
This is not chicken scratching. This is re-stating

If you want cleaner lines, you should use more of your arm when drawing the line depending on how long the line is and you should use an underdrawing with light lines first then ink over it, or use darker lines afterward.

I like sketching in pen

>>3819316
like the shading on this one

dont mind the horse butt

>>3809590

>>3819474
Thanks anon :)

>>3819696
I’m getting slight uncanny vibes on the face but I can’t chat shit cause I’m loving the line quality

>>3819803
This is pretty neat

>>3819808
thanks. did a profile one as well and it turned out a lot worse. Did this one with reference ofc. I started actually liking doing faces, but only after doing a lot of shit ones.

>>3819841
also bought strathmore toned paper and I love, it's really enjoyable and the end product is a lot better than if it would be on the jarring white one

>>3806447
theres something about this, its really good

>>3806133
>and coffee

i wish i could dislocate my jaw like a python to yawn harder

>>3819841
It’s enjoyable doing faces if you go out your way to find ones you think are attractive

ref from that thread

At this point I'm just trying to use up a lot of ink pens I gathered over the months that would otherwise Never get used.

This ones kind of old
>>3819179
Go over the line you want to make a few times without actually touching the paper, then do it and commit. If the line isn’t exactly what you wanted, adjust the picture in your head to accommodate it

>>3819798
>>3819696
The nose has some really weird line choices.

Felt like doing some inking on paper.

>>3820223
Super good. Instagram?

Doodling.

>>3813952
nice sketch, blog?

Here's some thumbs I did for some illustrations I want to do soon

sketchbook drawing with some help from one of the two year olds at the daycare I work at. was fun!

>>3821221
haha, not bad. drawing with my nieces makes me remember how fun and carefree it all used to be, it gets you to really let go for once

1/2 yesterday

Them's some wonky faces

some sketches of hitomi from hinamatsuri

>>3806914
Do yourself a favor, and get some drawing paper, even if it's just copier paper. It's dirt cheap. Don't draw on lined paper.

Hey, first time poster here.

>>3822760
man i really like the way you hatched. Do you have a blog?

>>3829265
Dude that’s so nice it feels like I could touch it

>>3829278
Hey thanks man. I’m hoping, once I start giving texture to my in perspective drawing, it will come out really freaky real looking.

I dont really have a sketchbook, i use a clipboard with printer paper but i think that counts.

the one on the right is really good. like your stuff all-in-all and can see the progress, keep it up

>>3829788
thank you that was my most recent piece. Im working on appeal, people say they like my lines but hate my content, but i really dont like drawing anime girls and kind of popular cutesy stuff so im a bit stuck.

fuck them man, if you want to do landscapes do landscapes you know. You can see what else is out there but you don't have to try to force yourself to be a sakimiclone or whatever

>>3829769
The drawing on the right is incredible. Sincerely. I know it's a crappy photo, but even then, it's really sharp. Great drawing, really appealing, and super clear inking. Love it.

i want to start doing commissions because i spent all my money on an ipad.

>>3822595
>>3822598
>>3822599
gonna make it

>>3829697
Another experiment.

>>3830655
Can't believe you did that on paper. Good job lad

>>3821173
I love it! I want to see more Anon.

>>3806133
You watch Peter draws you cheeky lad

>>3808265
DIO!!
get a book or look up some body builders

>>3830726
Thanks man. I’m starting to get really curious what the final product is gonna look like.

How much would you people say this is worth as a commission? Also does anybody have any good resources for drawing feet?

do you have a blog? honestly in love with your style. comfy and blocky

in love with your style!

>>3832080
>>3834600
I like these a lot anons

idk if I'm hitting any sort of appeal with these but it's fun

Not sure what else to do with this. I'm thinking of filling in the background with black

Drawing some plants and such as part of dynamic sketching.

>>3829806
Hehhe your art is funny

>>3833861
>>3833867
I love these 2

>>3834736
are you trying to kill me anon

I'm rounding third, almost home on this one. Does anyone have a critique?

>>3835174
i would try turning it 90 degrees clockwise just to see what it would do to the user experience

>>3835188
My phone always does that for whatever reason.

>>3835193

I made this without any construction lines and i am VERY proud

I have no idea what direction I want to take my work.

>>3835276
is the bottom left one traced? very nice pose

>>3835298
Nah, tracing is for suckers. I'm too stubborn to even use refs half the time. What makes it look traced?

>>3835311
just the very clear contours and super good anatomy given the unique perspective

>>3835315
My anatomy and perspective aren't very good, but the contours are just cleaned versions of the red pencil I use for the initial sketch.

>>3835332
I think your anatomy and perspective is good :3

what do you all think of my torsos.

>>3835409
The heads are tiny but the torsos themselves are really good !

charcoal stuff i guess

fair warning, im not very productive. just wanted to contribute to the thread

>>3829769
>>3829770

i like left and right. anyplace i can follow you?

I've been drawing casually for most of my life, but I recently started to really enjoy crosshatching. I feel like I might've gone overboard, though.
Criticism and advice are welcome.

>>3831825
good stuff

>>3835479
Imo you can't go overboard with crosshatching as long as you keep your values in check, which you didn't.

>>3835494
By values I trust you mean shadows and gradients?

>>3811982
love your artstyle. looks comicbook like. any tip?

>>3835498
i think he meant that your value range is out of whack, if you were going for a 1:1 reproduction of the image. the gun and most of the darker shadows on the hand are too light in your drawing, and you're ignoring most of the occlusion shadows cast by the gun and left hand.
it's not a bad drawing, but it's not accurate either.

>>3835665
So I should focus on making darker and more accurate shadows in the future so it doesn't look like I half-assed it, right? I'll admit I got a little lazy at the end when it was time to do the gun. I'll keep that in mind and try not to do everything in one sitting, maybe take a few breaks in between.
Thank you, cheers.

3/3
the arm sketch was the only one that took less than 15 mins, the 2 others took 45 mins each roughly

>>3835736
what do you use for the white lines on the eyebrows and eyelashes? do you actually erase the graphite or are you using a white colored pencil?

>>3835738
neither, I do it the hard way. a light sketch of the outline of the areas to be left white, draw around that, it gets a bit dirty but it makes it "feel" better.
the reason: using a white colored pencil will never give you the pure white youre going for, as this is direct reflected sunlight, so you want to aim for glare from the reflection. same thing for using an eraser.
a tip: if there are a multitude of ways to do something, the harder is in general better.

My latest sketch

>>3831057
This shit was good man. No idea why you deleted.

>>3835445
>>3835444
I never considered using a calender book for easy grid drawing. Excellent.

Is the second one asain? If so you did a good job making her look asain.

>>3835969
Looks really good. What program did you use? And were you using a reference or imagination?

>>3836022
she is indeed asian. thank you based anon.

>>3836031
Photoshop.
I draw the gesture by imagination, and then check references for details of muscles.

>>3839013
Cool stuff

dumb stuff

>>3821173
>>3821221
>>3835276
really good
>>3835425
>>3835426
the cool thing about charcoal is that you can push and pull values quite easily. Maybe try to put more darks in and work more in tones, see where it takes you.

I can't fit the sai canvas and quick poses site on my computer screen while drawing comfortably. I can only do muh gesture draws on paper because of this. Anyone else practice traditionally but do finished works digitaly.?

One of the few salvageable sketches from yesterday. It was one of those days.

>>3808223
Be aware of bad tangents.
Google it if you don't know what it means.

>>3839526
I think I know what it means...? I actually normally tend to watch out for those when sketching, could I ask you to point out where you see them in the drawing ?

How do you get an accurate likeness in a sketch?


Every book/video I see on portrait drawing spends an hour just measure things against each other. How do you capture a quick likeness? I feel like even though my art is improving, I'm still struggling to be able to quickly draw what I see with even a decent level of accuracy.

>>3839572
just be yourself

>>3839535
Not him, but one that sticks out to me is the rope following her leg really closely on both sketches.

>>3839572
takes a lot of observational skill and motor control, but also a lot of understanding of how drawings read. so you dont have excess lines

>>3839572
try practicing with a timer and a pen

>>3808469
Very nice. Looks like brush pens, what kind?

>>3811982
Do feelings not care about my facts?

>>3808346

Instagram?

Did this just now after work. She’s that teacher who sucked a 13 year old kids dick.

What's the best sketchbook with nice paper for someone who travels a lot ?
