why acid free paper?

So you don’t have a bad trip

>>4360313
Nice.

Why so little content?

>>4362838
I’m not sure about other people but I have a ton of shitty drawings in my sketchbook because I’m /beg/ and the same might apply to others. Not everyone is that good at drawing

Be less arbitrary in your use of line weight

>>4362906
Try adding some darker values to the areas in the distance (the paths for example) to add depth and reinforce the perspective.

bit old but i really liked this page

Do you draw on a carpet?

>>4367793
it's probably a paint canvas

>>4367919
Hm, makes sense, I've never actually seen canvas up close irl. Now I feel stupid.

Alright, I posted this >>4370500 in another thread. Also posting a recent portrait from life.

Thanks for the advice and the pic. I think I need to work on my control to make my line weight better.

Cool stuff by the way, saved it all.

This one was fun

>>4363448
Cool stuff anon, there`s something really nice about how much shit you have on the page, controlled chaos I guess.
>>4365180
try to take better photos anon. You got something appealing going on here, especially the face on top.
>>4370820
All of it is berry nice, anon.
>>4373000
I`m guessing these are quick sketches in public? I like how you applied tone, gives them a lot of character.

I started a figure drawing sketchbook for Figuary, I have been avoiding figure drawing practice for too long.

>>4370847
That's some great stuff dude! You got a blog or anything? Now I wanna try some stuff with yellow and black, you make it look so interesting

>>4365477
Cool texture. What kind of paper and pencils are those?

I just use my sketchbook for practice ヽ(illﾟдﾟ)ﾉ
How are you guys so creative?

>>4374005
The secret is to not use cringy shit like

Cool stuff. Is this ballpoint or roller?

>>4374262
It's ballpoint, thanks anon :)

>>4370634
I understand the time constraints when drawing from life. You need to work on line control. Practice making straight/curved lines. Create individual lines that change weight during the stroke. Create dozens of parallel lines that vary in weight (each line has single weight but make each line gradually lighter or darker than the next) . Go from light to dark/dark to light. For example on the arms you nailed the value quickly but the marks are sloppy. Once you feel more confident in your line control try to shade primitives utilizing your preferred technique.
You also want to experiment with different types of pens as well as papers.
Choose a method that works for you, you can use the hatching to define the form via following the forms with curved lines, or use straight lines that ignore the form but define shapes using value. Attached is a drawing using unidirectional lines ignoring planar direction yet defines value.

>>4374552
Where I mentioned the examples of shading techniques at the end of my diatribe; it was by no means a comprehensive list and you should use a methodology that reinforces your expression. You can also use an amalgam of a number of techniques.

some dynamic sketching stuff

>>4377804
Use the white more sparingly and purposefully

Didn't want to buy a new sketchbook, and I don't like how fugly the covers tend to be on storebought ones so I made my own using loose paper. The binding was actually suprisingly easy.

>>4377804
>>4377887
I really like these, anon!

>>4377887
youre right, ill see if i can do a couple more tonight while trying to be more economical and readable

good taste, draw yourself a folio of demons

>>4377960
Yeah, I want to start designing my own demons / angels. I just need practice tapping into my creativity because I've just been drawing fanart for so long that my originality muscle is weak.

>>4359673
Why is sketching easier with pencil and paper than it is with a screen tablet? I feel like it should be equally satisfying/free-flowing, but it's not. It's like digitally it's harder to control soft/hard strokes and every movement is a little too stunted. I hate it.

>>4378421
Tablets are simulations of the real thing without the texture and immediacy of paper, so....the simulation broke?

>>4378421
Why does it look like you're focusing on perspective, but perspective is exactly what you get wrong?

>>4378566
Well, why does someone learning Japanese focus on speaking Japanese while also getting the speaking of Japanese part, wrong? :)

I struggle a lot with drawing perspective without excessive amounts of construction so I'm focusing on it but I'm also still bad at it.

>>4374023
>”cringy”
>doesn’t know what kaomoji is
Do you know where you are? Fucking redditors everywhere.

>>4378592
I know what that shit is, doesn't make it any less cringy.

>Do you know where you are?
Yes, unlike you, apparently.

>>4378586
I understand that, but like, you are drawing lines, why aren't they at least converging in the distance, what's the point of lines then?

>>4378952
Honest question: What do you mean they're not converging?

They're not super accurate sure, and some of them are a little skewed, but they look like they're converging to me.

>>4378982
Here's what I mean. You also drew the cup bottom ellipse more eccentric than the top. Eclipses get more eccentric (narrower) as they approach the horizon line.

>>4379034
>Eclipses
*ellipses

>>4379034
Oh right! Yeah the bottom right box was an experiment trying to make a non-rectangular box (?) but yeah ellipses are the bane of my existence.

Thank you for redlining.

Some head studies - I always go to heavy on the blue, i can’t get the balance between the shiny part and the material color

>>4379051
I see. Well, you should be careful with non-rectangular boxes, it would read as such if everything else was perfect, but since there are lots of other issues it also reads as a mistake.

>>4379492
What the hell guys - nobody thought it was important to tell me that there is a gwenom!?

I feel like I’ve been living under a rock

>>4379742
Did you not receive the monthly gwen newsletter? Did you check your spam folder? :/

good thread

>>4362906
>>4363447
Yeah, like try scribbling more dark values over the whole thing. Everywhere.

>>4379051
ellipses are brutal, this might help

You're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you.

>>4385351
Use ballpoint to very lightly sketch general shape, very lightly sketch smaller shapes, start hatching light to dark, details :^] nothing too special. Thank you though!

>>4370825
Nice

Very fine, keep postan!

Really like how you've created space here

>>4373285

>>4363469
How would I go about doing this with a fountain pen? Maybe stipple and dashed lines?

It's not really a problem with my dips because the nibs have more flex, but I don't really want to carry those around

>>4370847
Cool shit dude, where are you from?

Good thread

>>4389944
I've been having the same problem - I've been using a Lamy EF nib as my everyday life sketching tool but there's basically no line variation there and It's something I want to work on. Italic nibs?

>>4377921
Nice sketchbook, how did you learn to bind it?

>>4400225
>>4389944
can you show me the nibs you all are using?

>>4392685

>>4373864
i've been doing some random shape first, just make sure the contour is interesting enough overall,then draw whatever comes to mind within that shape, it kinda forces the creativity out of you,

blog is https://yaow12.tumblr.com/ though i dont update that often

I'm trying to sketch directly with a pen to build line confidence. It's been quite hard for me.
Anyway, just made these sloppy kaijus out of >>4390669

>>4403656
Looks good bra, go for something that takes longer strokes like the female form, or some hard edged robots

why?

Your too stupid to post in these threads

Her eyes are mmmmmnot okay but I guess that's what I get for daring to jump right into pen without a sketch first

Working on this one atm, didn't even finish the lead sketch before I started inking it, got the hair to finish, and maybe do some more markings on her body.

your anatomy is very bad and the faces are all unappealing, you did get some semidecent crosshatching there

>>4419237
Man that's great. The anatomy especially is impressive.

didnt have a fineliner or my toned sketchbook but i think it looks ok regardless

>>4419237
awesome

>>4420369
Smells like drawabox

>>4420477
actually watching dynamic sketching, have never seen a single DAB lesson

>>4420369
Push your values, separate light and shadow shapes more.

>>4419112
>>4417364
these are fucking dope

>>4420260
I drew this from reference (this is my show off sketchbook), so can't take credit for the anatomy, but thanks nevertheless.

>>4420739
These are some pretty effective character designs. Do you have a blog?

>>4403538
is that watercolor paint? it looks so nice

>>4365477
From looking at the thumbnail i thought the creature was holding a penis/dildo on a plate.
But turns out the creature itself is a penis.
Better than I expected.

pray you're not too damaged.

>>4417364
This is great

>>4432592
I think you need to slow down. It looks rushed.
You can still see the anime influence but not too heavy.
I think you need to slow down tho and pace your strokes and colors

i forgot this thread existed. anyone got any tips for controlling brush pens? im not used to them and i end up making the tips fray pretty quickly

This is Jennifer Connelly. I promise

>>4433724
Ref image if someone without autism wants to try it

>>4392149
The eyes and the forehead are viewed 2/3 s while the mouth the nose and the chin grom profile.
The shapes are offendingly sharp, like the highlight on the cheeks.
Kepp at it tho don't get discuraged.

>>4359673
Wanted to try creating original poses for characters in other styles.

There is a lot of thought that went into MLAATR's style, so I'd probably need a couple more goes to make a non-awkward Jenny.

I know which errors I've made on the bottom, but my mind is going completely fucking blank trying to figure out how to do perspective for something like Gwyn's castle antechamber, which has two levels of stairs and one landing is above your perspective.

>>4388247
i really like your art, do you have a blog or something?

>>4433983
I don't even know what is going on in the bottom

Ive been experimenting with watercolor lately

i need to put them away for a while though, im destroying the values with them

Nobody is responding in the beg thread, so i'll just post them here. Anyone know of good books or courses on watercolor?

This might be the wrong thread, but does anyone know why Berol stopped making packs of 12 Colour Fine black? They still seem to do assorted color packs (which you get one black with), but they've stopped the packs of 12 one color.
They changed the design of them a little while ago, but now they seem to be discontinued entirely and I can't work out why. They were incredibly popular for outlining, and they were cheap, so I can't work out why they stopped. I'd contact Berol like an autist, but they don't seem to have any contact information.
A lot of people sell assorted packs and use the pack of 12 black to try and ruse people. It doesn't seem to make any sense.

Did this yesterday in graphite and charcoal, think i captured the two peoples movement pretty well, I havent been using charcoal for that long so im new to the medium

I bought a sketch book but im too scared to start using it because most I can do is shitty simple shapes in perspective.

Holy shit this is so great, the shapes, the dynamism, I love it.

only this though...nothing much has been goin on lately

Might anyone know of a watercolor sketchbook that's smooth enough to not destroy fineliners but still able to handle gouache and ink washes? Tried watercolor and ink on pic related and it warped pretty badly.
Really just asking for a mixed media sketchbook that works.
