Before you can draw you must ask yourself: Why do you want to draw?

I want to make my own porn, what now?

Loomis. If you want to draw porn of people (or people like creatures, animals or monsters), you need to understand human form, anatomy and proportions. Therefore, read the book "Figure Drawing For All it's Worth" by Andrew Loomis, which is available for free in the sticky.
Draw all the poses and construction methods in the book, then draw your own. Post them into a General, like /Beg/, and ask for a criticism. The criticism will identify what you need to improve on, and once you know what to improve on, study that until you're good at it. Rinse and Repeat until you are the single greatest artist the world has ever known.

If the book seems too "advanced" for you, then start with Andrew Loomis' "Fun With a Pencil", which will teach you various construction methods that can be used with any drawing. This book is also available in the sticky.

is loomis a meme or is it actually helpful

also what if i want to draw hentai-style porn, loomis doesn't teach that

the important thing to always remember is-
resize your fucking shit before uploading it.
that is all.

Loomis is actually helpful, and a meme.
Basically, you know the incredibly famous method of drawing a head where you draw a sphere and then lines across it to connote the placement of the brow, eyes, nose, ect? He was the guy who invented that. All of his guides are incredibly useful, though because he's so useful for learning how to draw, so many people say "Just study Loomis lmao" without stating why or how that it's become a meme to just say "Study Loomis". Loomis guides themselves are still very, very good though.

If you just want to draw hentai-style porn, then I would still very much recommend studying Loomis in order to understand basic human form, anatomy, proportions and poses, all of which are vitally important for drawing any human, even if it's animu.

However, if you want to draw Hentai, I would recommend that in addition to Studying Loomis, you also buy or pirate something like Pic related, and study that too. Finally, there are plenty of guides on /ic/ on how to draw hentai, so I'm sure if you ask, someone in the /nsfw/ general will be able to help you.

Before you can even start drawing porn, though, you really need to understand how to draw a human body, and again, Loomis is probably the best guide on how to draw it.

thank you for the informative post, anon.

before i begin my journey, i want you to propose something for me to draw. im thinking a person, wearing whatever clothing you desire, in whatever pose you want. this will be my benchmark.

i'll draw it on paper and post it in this thread once i finish.

I'm sorry, but I'm really not good at coming up with ideas for what I should draw, let alone someone else. You should really just draw whatever kind of person you personally feel like, but if I was forced to make a suggestion, I would suggest just starting by drawing someone, anyone, from reference. Just go into google images and get a picture of your favourite Actor or Actress, and just draw them in the pose and clothes in the reference. If you're all out of ideas, then the Manga dude on the picture I posted in my last post has fairly interesting clothes, expression, a flowing gesture, and a good use of foreshortening, so if you're fully out of ideas, I would suggest trying to draw him (you can get more high-quality pictures of him online, if you need them).

If you really want to draw something from imagination, though, just coming up with ideas from the top of my head, how about you draw a girl wearing a light jacket, jeans, converse shoes and standing under an umbrella, with her right arm holding up the umbrella, and her left on her hip. Just to make sure the pose has some kind of flow and gesture, you could draw her putting her weight on her right leg, letting her left leg just hang loosely. As I said, though, I suck at making suggestions, so really drawing anything else would be better.

Isn't it because of winter break? A lot of people making new year resolutions to learn to draw. They will give up soon.
