who is dat guy?

I'm guilty of still googling how to improve. I already draw everyday but whatever insight I get will help. Though I already read everything important on /ic/
>Construct with shapes
>Loomis for heads
>Fundies
>Bend your knees
>Use your arms
There aren't more life changing tips I think

>>3856250
Go through fun with a pencil and draw everything in the book. It's a good start for beginners to understand form and constructiom

>He doesn't know that guy

>that exact type of pencil
>neck pain

>>3856287
damn it i duno who he is... i dont want to be ngmi help

>>3856236
I don't get the pains part. Why do artists get wrist and neck pain so much? I never get that at all. I don't do anything out of my way to prevent pain besides not using a scrunched up grip on my pencil.

>>3856236
STOP SPYING ON ME

>>3856236
why the back pain tho?

>>3856483
probably from slouching all day

>>3856452
>I never get that at all.
You have to actually draw to experience the pains

>>3856452
Don't worry, you'll get it when you are 20+

Mechanical pencils are for gays with soft ass default pressure

I'm 24 and have been drawing since my teens. Granted, I lift and do compound workouts, along with stretching and proper posture. I do those for general fitness but perhaps it's paying off in the art realm as well.

>>3856236
It's funny because beginners always buy that brand of pencil

>>3858151
What is wrong with that brand?

>>3858199
There's nothing wrong with it, just like there's nothing wrong with googling how to improve your art. It's just an unfunny boring very literal starterpack meme. You are reading too much into it. There's nothing to learn here. Stop looking at stupid memes and go draw with whatever pencil is available.

>>3858151
They're the most noticeable pencils on the store shelves.
I assume that most people are like me, and just buy the first pencil that catches their eyes

>>3856236
starter pack images are retarded but pretty sure it's using an HB or #2 pencil, especially on lined paper. It looks shitty or amateurish no matter what level of artist. Then they post and wonder why they're not being praised. Noidea what the pictures are that aren't websites or proko.

I fucking hate those pencils, I bought a 9B once and it turns out they're mixed with charcoal or something to make the graphite opaque and they're scratchy as fuck on the canvas. I want my soft pencils greasier than butter thank you very much.

>all these pencilfags
Who gives a shit about pencil brands lmao. Pencil's on the fucking list because it's garbage beginner tool and you'd better switch to pen or, if it's not your thing, to more expressive "soft" medium like charcoal or sanguine ASAP. It's not like it's impossible to make good art with graphite pencils but you must be really fucking lucky for its limitations to perfectly fit your technique so that it won't turn your art into dull garbage.

>>3856292
hes just in a lot of ref packs. Kind of like the old white guy everyone knows.

>>3860370
Or just go digital you fucking art boomer

>>3856272
Not him, but on the mannequins right now. They fucking suck.

>>3860377
>choosing between traditional and digital
>not doing both

>>3856290
kek

>>3856250
I read so mich much theory and tips, but I know all that's left is the pure grind.

>>3856236
Hb is not a drawing pencil. Anything below 5b is not made for drawing

>>3860370
This makes sense to me, since the graphite pencil doesn’t really make for a good art tool seeing as it lacks line variation and makes ugly dull looking lines. But don’t even pros who use mostly ink to draw still construct the basic outline their drawings using soft pencil marks? Definitely don’t want to focus too much or get too anal about pencils but they have a use for the simple reason that they can be erased.
