DO NOT REPLY TO GREY SKETCH KUN just starve him of attention

Male monster design vs female monster design of the same concept.

>>4502199
Stop spamming all these threads, I'm just looking for some critics on my work.

>>4502222
why do you draw basically the same torso angle over and over again

>>4502227
Because I still don't understand it. I draw till I do.

>>4502259
The thumbnail looked good which means your proportions/values are on the right track, but then I opened it up and saw that the structure of the face was pretty fucked.

>>4502264
I get that a lot. I want to get better at drawing faces.

>>4501795

It's not much but it's honest work, I hope someone likes it, it's their beginning

>>4502248
>>4502222
>>4502146
Stop fucking drawing the EXACT same thing over and over again. You'll understand it eventually if you draw other things. Evolve. You're exactly like the freak on /trad/ brian that draws the same headless torsos over and over again. I know you thrive on negative attention so I won't be replying to you again. Please return to /beg/

>>4502489
Nah nah nah, he’s from that shithole /asg/. Don’t tell him to go to /beg/.

>>4502498
/asg/ hates him more than /beg/ does, he doesn't even do anime studies which is allegedly the point of /asg/.

>>4502489
You have no idea what you're talking about. It's funny hearing that from a general that solely makes pin up art of mainstream characters.

>>4502376
Agreed, I need more of banana girl.

>>4502505
He fits right in with those retards.

I'm looking for critiques.
I'm most concerned about the colour and rendering.
How do I deal with objects with a white colour base?
I know the shoes are fucked, I intend to fix them

>>4502914
I don't understand what exactly is your doubt about colors, since there is no environment, so establishing any sort of rule for how colors should look like is not so rule-bound.

The best you can do without such information would be the "warm lights, cold shadows" or vice-versa.

By the way, I flipped the BG color to its opposite, to emphasize her skin and hair, rather than her blue coat.

>>4502826
Quality over quantity

>>4502826
I have the same problem.

Coloring/shading this took me 3 hours.
I think it's my workflow. But I have no idea.

>>4502826
Quantity over quality.

>>4502933
It's probably because you don't fully understand volumes yet, so it takes you a long time brushing around and sculpting the forms.
As you improve, you start to be economic with your brushes and still achieve the same amount of - or even more - depth.
The obvious advice here is to not waste so much time shading stuff that's dark. Start with dark flat colors and add light to them, that's where 80%+ of the detail should be, and volumes in shadowed areas just suggested.

All of that of course thinking in terms of efficiency.

>>4502952
Post what you achieved with quantity over quality

>>4502952
oh wow. That's actually a new perspective for me, thanks.
six fanarts challenge seems to be a great exercise in approaching different strategies.

>>4502964
My new style is brutalism with radical minimalism. It's inspired by Malevitch and other russians artists (Benjamin, ...)
I just save blank pages with Photoshop.
With that workflow I've achieved maximum efficiency, an I manage to get really consistent results on my gesture drawings, thumbnails, mood compositions...
I'm getting crazy mileage that you won't get with your "quality" approach.

>>4502974
Stunning and brave

>>4502964
Joke's on you, my bane is the same as anon's, as I'm a turd polisher who fails to output quantity, but who feels the most gains when I do it for short bursts.

How are you doing altchads

Been a while, hi alt

>>4501795
Bananachan!! Thanks OP, I’m honored

>>4500855
Going for broke with the pencil / erasing and my old 01 micron, but it’s taking forever because i can’t stop erasing. It’s weird that ink is so fast because you just power through your mistakes.

It’s been 3 days now... I could have finished 10 drawings in the time to complete this one. I don’t think this going to produce a 10x increase in quality for the 10x cost in time, but the process is fascinating.

>>4501566
I am having problems adjusting to the tool change

some of you niggers are posting the same drawlings from the other thread. the absolute state of this shit whole. the tutorial threads are the only productive ones.

Where did everyone go? I guess happyfag and all the autismal outbursts drove everyone away.

>>4502070
When will western and eastern art interbreeding did.

i was bored

Is this /Beg/ or /Alt/? I honestly can't tell.

>>4504076
lots of begs coming to alt nowadays, who knows maybe i am one too. That or everyones just in the discord now, see a lot of good suff there that doesn't get reposted here.

>>4504076
Pyw

>>4504101
This pretty much

>>4503721
Holy shit do more like this please. The mechanics look really nice in pencil!

>>4503573
Velvet worms are my favorite ecdysozoan. They are not cringe. Repent.

>>4504208
They are beautiful creatures. Wouldn't want to be in its size range though.

>>4501795
working on some concept art for game.

>>4502452
Damn this is awesome, work on your lineart and colour and you could become amaxing.

>>4502452
concept is cool, artskills need work, go back and study perspective followed by lighting. you can throw anatomy in there aswell

>>4503121
love the values on this one, colors are fucking great

>>4504101
can you link me the invite, i wanna see what im missing

>>4504320
I dont want to open the floodgate, if you want to find it you can find it

>>4504287
Nah I'd really like a giant, pet velvet worm with doglike+ intelligence.

>>4503721
the extra time you put in is definitely noticeable compared to your other stuff, and im really digging it

hair could be cuter though, its lookin real...angular

WIP

I wanna try more actiony and foreshortened poses, it's supposed to be someone throwing a lance, but don;t know if its 100% right

Still in process and yes the cape is supposed to contrast the rest of the clothes. At least for now

morning sketch

>>4504542
Lines look like ass, use a sketchy brush and erase hairy lines, study line weight,(serouly, this is a big one) . Rest looks fine

>>4504596
It's a very rough sketch atm

>>4504467
you'll end up like pic related

>>4504507
Really cute style, I like it. Though is there a reason they all have a similar nose shape?

>>4504046
Make the legs 2x as long and it will be kino

Look up kicdoc ref

>>4504608
I assume that's how they display affection. Should wash out of clothes no problem.

>>4501795

>>4502933
if that took you 3 hours just to color and shade it then my friend I'm afraid you have to readjust your priorities.

if you want to exercise your mind to better understand 3D volume and form, and how light interacts with said form, I would heavily suggest taking up sculpting if all other forms of practice fails you. A majority of people just seems to just have all that shit just "click" inside their head once they start sculpting, and it's an excellent way to train your mind to better imagine 3D form.

Having trouble with the hand placement here, can anyone give me a hand (lol)?

>>4505173
her grabbing her ankle would be pretty cute and dynamic

Best thing I've ever drawn in 1 minute.

>>4502259
idk if you're still around
but like >>4502264 said thumbnail looked good.

Fixes i think you should consider with future pieces:
-Push the Nose & Mouth closer to the Eyes.With such a simplified style just omit the bridge of the nose altogether.
-Thin out the area on the far side of the face
- Might be more of a personal preference, sharpen the chin

everything else is visually pleasing, just refine facial feature placement a bit more and I think you're solid, bruv.

>>4504805
Did that a while ago.
I somehow managed to cut it down to 30 mins
Turns out that it was the way I shaded. I treated the brush like a brush and scratched it away which left me on a very inefficient loop of going over and over for the right shade. Should've treated it like a colored marker.

>>4505355
I am, thanks for the critique.

/alt/ quality aint what it used to be imo

>>4505850
pyw

>>4506138

>>4506153
you're part of that decline.

i wanted to draw but didnt know what to do
i was reminded of brightburn even tho it was a bit lame

eh

>>4505850
A lot of anons graduated out of /alt/ and left 4chan forever

>>4506381
know I thin he means the last two threads had way more quality art being posted lol

>>4506381
>left 4chan forever
not possible

>>4506381
Most of the good artists moved to Discord.

/ic's activity comes from /las, which is notorious for poor quality work and its members spending most of their time gossiping.

>>4506509
Those retards love to gossip and peddle nonexistent drama for the sake of bumping their thread I swear.

>>4506233
nice anon, concept-wise I enjoyed brightburn and at least it had some pretty funny deaths. you post anywhere else?

>>4506381
Or they keep getting banned because of the Manginas running rampant.

>>4506381
All the drama keeps me from posting, honestly.

>>4503979

>>4507740
90% of the times I have no idea what outfit I'm going to draw when I start. I get you

>>4507748
I like the way you draw shoes.

no one likes your low effort doodles. why bother even posting them

>>4507859
Just because everyones dumb, doesn't mean I need to be.

>>4507861
why do you enjoy shitposting?

>>4507748
Are you allergic to finishing anything or what?

>>4507865
inability to produce quality finished linework due to overindulging in this sort of scribbly meme that /ic/ loves at the moment (thank you echo chamber).
so he just half-finishes things, posts it on /ic/ for the muh style backpats and moves onto the next one rather than work on a weak point

>>4507864
Who's shitposting? I worked really hard on that "doodle". 100s of hours went to training the skill to do so. To say it's low effort is to show how retarded this threads iq is.

>>4507874
I'm sure you enjoy crafting these retard posts for your own amusement but they won't do improve your art

>>4507753
thanks
>>4507865
i might be i just hate almost all the sketches i do so i just stop at scribbles.. maybe its time to do studies and use references but im enjoying sketching freely more than anything right now..

>>4507871
damn i have been doing scribbles since forever but idk i think scribbling and low effort sketches is more charming then gizzilion passes and muh lineart!!

>>4507926
or maybe it's >>4507871

>>4507127
Thanks! I loved the concept of Brightburn, I've always liked darker side of heroes or characters with questionable morals.
I post on twitter but atm it's a lot of sketches and dumb stuff

nyaaaaaaaa

>>4507740
Komugi is so cute and so is your drawing

>>4507926
>>4507929
Don't let the crabs get to you, they hate looking at people that aren't wasting their time.

>>4507929
>>4507926
I personally think your scribbles are pleasant to look at, moreso than a lot of the rendered stuff that's thrown about. It leaves more to the imagination.

nYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>4507973
Cool stuff Anon

How do I get as annoying as grey sketch and yev ? I already have 1 general who hates my guts but that’s not enough . How do I get the whole board to hate me?

>>4505173
here you go anon, gave it a shot

putting this aside for now because I don't know how to color

>>4508274
Your hips and waist are connected, so it looks bad.

>>4508287
Are hips not connected to the waist?
wat was meant

>>4508300
stuck together

>>4508300
Pinch.

>>4508310
I'm not sure what you're trying to illustrate with this. The obliques? Would be super helpful if you redlined my drawing desu (but I understand if it's too much of a pain)

>>4508328
Something like this.

>>4508300
not same anon but i think he's refering to the the sharp tangent in ur drawing i think there's suppose to be a bit grooves in drawing between hips and waist,,?

>>4506509
I've been on /ic/ for 2-3 years now but I never understood /las/. I never bothered to look into it because I rarely ever went to those threads since there was never any art in them. Just text.

>>4508338
this

>>4507748
this is the stuff I wanna see.
Very nice job, anon

>>4508343
oooh i get it! You just want to see anime in alt! Even tho there already is an anime general? got it!

Tweaked his legs a bit, think I'll continue on with the BG now.

WIP but Idk if I'm feeling it anymore

Pretty much done.
Gonna adjust tones, typesetting, details tomorrow.

>>4502826
No. The process will eventually get faster. Like other anon said, quality over quantity

>>4507453
How you get 600 more flollowers in 3 days?

really into clowns lately idk if its pinterest full on mkultraing me into liking them or what

>>4508501

>>4508750
a donkey fell into a bowl of sugar

now thats a sweet ass

>>4508744
Don't tell me what I can and can't do.

>>4505850
That's because jannies delete your posts when you tell people to go back to /beg/.
They deleted my post anyway.

>>4508785
The days of /ic/ being a modless wild West is over unfortunately

>>4502914
Fix your light source(s) or you will constantly have to guess when you render, once that is done the geometry of the shapes will help you immensely.Objects with white color base can just simply pick up the local colors, just have them always be a bit more colored and darker than pure white.

>>4508776
If her arm is lowered then her shoulder should be also lower than the arm that is raised. Give her more of a rib-cage and a torso she seems to have very little on the upper body.

>>4508785
>>4505850
When you do not have standards for art being half finished and then have mods enforce that. Then the quality will decline due yo quality control.

>>4508949
back to beg

>>4508274
I'd move the right arm a little back so you can see the ass curve, they way you have it cuts of that shape and is awkward and well if you're doing pinups you need that ass

>>4508392
Made more progress, added an amusing reference for whoever gets it.

>>4504655
Thanks and lol no

How do you come up with unique looking hairstyles? Every time I try to be creative it ends up looking like one of those waifu generator results. Pic related it’s the mess I drew

do i have potential

>>4509918
I don't have any colored pencils or paints, I normally just use a pencil and pen
I kind of had an urge to color so I just loaded up photoshop and used my mouse because I don't have a tablet either

>>4510017
yes

>>4510017
>>>/beg/

>>4510023
fucking hell, i don't even watch any of those shows. i took most of my inspiration from furry artists

I accidentally drew the person into the background and now im fucked. it was supposed to be a template.

>>4510039
they are probably inspired by that show, what a vicious chain.

>>4510120

>ifonlyyouknewhowbadthingsreallyare.jpg

>>4504749
I think this would have a more natural pose if her left hand was pushed back, is she touching her elbow to her knee?

>>4510017
Of all the people you could imitate why cate wurtz

>>4510294
oh fuck, is it really that similar? i wasn't trying to copy her, i just looked some of her art for inspiration

>>4510011
stop fishing for compliments and give me your blog

>>4509659
Done, finally going to draw something else next week

full res cause tiny fucking details

>>4510369
stop asking for blogs and give me your ass

>>4510430
I can practically sniff the markers through the monitor. How many markers died during the production of this picture?

Anyways, well done. Looks good.

>>4510462
I killed B24, B95, and B93 (who was already running on fumes)

I'm working with a limited palette now

>>4510430
Excellent shit. Only issue I have is the fringe - feels a little out of place.

>>4508949
/beg/ pls o_O

Final enough

>>4510430
In your latest sketchbook showcase you mentioned
>and the only time I ever did #fundies
What did you study and what were your resources (you know, books, etc.) precisely, if I may ask?

>>4510369
No blog I just do it as a side hobby

>>4510560
I can tell you what I tried to study for fundies - it only lasted about a month before I was so bored I wanted to quit drawing. I just found those one-pager tutorials to follow
> tried some anatomy drawings of muscles (I remember nothing of what I studied)
> tried some Reilly face constructions, after failing to partition the face into quarters or whatever
> tried to make thumbnails of BGs

The only exercises that bring me value are figure drawing classes / figure drawing, and of course just making copies of favorite artists.

Now I just kind of fused all the exercises into each drawing. Start with a pose that I think is cool, then I look for a face that I like, find some interesting looking mech parts to add, look for a pair of shoes, and find a rendering style I like and try to emulate it.

>>4510604
based anon, skips /ic/ crab fundie grinding and goes straight to drawing robot girls with neat shoes

>>4510604
Thanks for the answer

Lining this is going to hurt.

>>4510291
i see. It does make it slightly better. And yes, her elbow is touching her knee.

>>4508896
>>4502926
Thanks Anons

I have wanted to do a frog prince themed piece for a while

>>4510604
I looked up the vid that the other anon mentioned
I don't want to be mean, I really don't, but the art in the little video showcase looks better than what you produce nowadays
It feels like, to me, that you should definitely try to find a balance between studying and drawing for fun

>>4510819
face looks like lizard

>>4508896
Blog?

>>4504805
>dude just sculpt
this sounds like ngmi-advice

>>4510934
Sounds like ngmi but it's actually pro-tier advice.

Getting used to drawing again

>>4510934
it's the same exact advice as "just look at object" that 80% of every artist will tell you as advice but with a hands-on approach as you're forced to literally build an object from scratch, thus forcing your brain to visualize shit in a 3D space in order to facilitate the sculpting process. Some people may not be interpreting an object the same way someone else would just by looking, which means for some people they can study all they want and still come out with absolutely nothing learned. On the other hand, with sculpting everyone is forced to try and visualize 3D space in their head; you're directly challenging your brain's ability to imagine and recall volume/form when you sculpt.

If you want to sculpt without paying $800 for zbrush, or if you don't want to pay money to buy sculpty clay and wires and sculpting tools, Sculptris or Blender is completely free.

>>4510952
You should try getting used to proportions again too

>>4510934
pretty solid advice, gets even the most low-iq artists to understand better.

>>4510968
>Buying sculpy
>Not buying superior plasteline clay that doesn't dry and can be reused infinitely
Pleb

>>4510538
Did you have references for those crouching poses?

>>4510972
What's wrong with it?

>>4510819
This is really cute, your poses are getting less stiffier.

>>4510819
looks fantastic, but not like a frog, sorry

>>4510819

>>4501795
My sister asked me to draw gadget from rescue rangers but it was boring to draw accurately so I tried to alt it up. It's hard to draw things like this without looking like a fur fag tho.

>>4511484
>It's hard to draw things like this without looking like a fur fag tho.
And your first idea was to draw her to look like a bimbo?
Just draw her the way she's supposed to look like, you insecure coward

>>4511523
That would be pointless and boring. I would rather make something ugly as fuck than boring and something that already exists. Why bother drawing if you're just going to copy things that already exist exactly as they already are? You should just kill yourself if you're not going to try to make it in some way unique.

>>4510952
I like your expression but yeah it’s a bit off proportion

>>4511583
Still /beg/ tier

>>4511583
A bimbo is the most mainstream westernized version to appeal to the lowest common denominator and make something ugly. Congratulation on your "unique"ness. Take your own advice, you delusional turd.

>>4510430
what voodoo magic/settings do you use make your scanned images look great?

>>4510553
I’d love to see this pushed further.

>>4511774
The quality of /alt/ is becoming lower...

>>4511724
Nice

>>4511774
You can just say it's ugly and I should kill myself like everyone else does. That'll fix it.

>>4511724
you mean the one you just posted or that >>4510553 one

>>4511900
this feel like it's almost good. Like it'd be good if it was polished off, but right now those lines make everything else look worse.

>>4509115
Just finished the pencil line-art and rendering on this piece, gonna take a break from it for now, then come back and ink it.

ehh sorry for posting this here but I really beg for a thorough examination of what is wrong you guys are experts

>>4511918
arms way too short - half thigh when hanging

>>4511918
it looks odd. there is almost no space between her neck and shoulders so the collar bone is like a V. and she has midget arms, and although her tits are big her ribs look crushed. i could be wrong but i dont think you would see a thigh gap when one leg is crossing in front of the other. what is she leaning on? is it like the rope of a boxing wring? my brain is trying to make sense of it. i dot see how it can pass under her arm like that. face is nice. belly button might be low.

>>4511484
it's aight

>>4511910
does inking ti make you sad because you have to erase all the pencil work?

>>4511906
one eyed monster, little more on feet

>>4511257
face kind of muddy

>>4510656
just clean up the sketch, you are almost there

>>4510301
pants look lazy like you traced them in, add a little more separation

>>4509948
nice figures, wish they had tiddies tho

>>4509508
some parts look nice and others kind of lazy, make your hatching more conscious so that the lazy parts don't pop out so much

curve the patterns in the cloths around the forms

>>4504288
the character is hard to read, since he is in the light, maybe make him pop a little more with a halo??

>>4503595

did you finish this?

>>4511946
I'm not going to erase any of it, I'm just going to go over the base line-art and then add some light hatching in certain areas to try and add another layer of depth.

Some people say that's not very proffessional, but I don't care, I like the look of ink over lead.

>>4511951
The perspective of the background is way off, looks like he's leaning forward. I'm no master myself, but I find it's always easier to get it right when I sketch the background first.

>>4511951
>>4511958
The statues aren't really that bad, but the stairs are tilted upwards, like their vp is at the top of the stairs

>>4511946
>he doesn't look very funny
yeah the "depressed clowns" trope is a juxtaposition basically every society on earth can understand.

>>4511874
>like everyone else does
If you wouldn't preach it yourself, maybe then you'd get a better response

>>4511958
>>4511963
Yeah the whole background is janky as fuck in that picture, it's why it's been sitting on the back burner for a long time now, I just drew it freehand, and should of put more effort in making it look right, so I'm going to have to redraw the stairs and the lefthand Fudog statue, as it's out of alignment with the righthand one.

But it was a quick example I could find of my inking on top of lead, here's another I stopped awhile back, because I don't like her face, it looked better in lead, and then I fucked it inking over it...

who the fuck knows anon

>>4511994
you focus on little details and they look fine up close but the more you zoom out the more the perspective end form falls apart

>>4511070

Maybe this should be some kind of indicator, no? You are legit talented but so stubborn about the goblin faces. JUST STUDY SOME FUCKING FACES lol

>>4512233
gains goblin may be a degenerate but hell, at least he draws unlike us

The waifu I rolled on make.girls.moe came out fucked but I'm not a commitlet.

>>4512374
You did pretty good with what you're given. Also, respect for not pussying out.

i really wanna copy this style, eyes mainly, do any of you know other artists like this or how does the artist of the right one achieve that look.

>>4512636
you mean souless korean style?

>>4512661
yes

>>4512687
Based

>>4512689
I actually had no idea it was a korean thing but iIdid get that second one from a korean account, so you gave me a starting point.
Thanks, anon.

>>4512636
Just analyze their art and try to do the same shit with your own art. Stop overthinking it

>>4512705
yeah i'll do that, but it would be cool to know if anyone knows more artists like this

>>4512636
is that slug

>>4512714
yes, she cute

>>4512717
based and slugpilled

>>4512687

Two right feet
I like her expression and the shapes you use

>>4501830
why did you say ‘shoo shoo’?

>>4511910
Just post a sketch or finished piece, no need to post 10 progress pics. What’s your blog?

How is it looking so far

>>4502259
Dude this style is mad easy to master. I loved it as a kid because it hides mistakes. It was super popular during 2010s Deviantart. Go look there for style references you should fine plenty.

>>4512374
It’s ugly but somehow really pleasant to look at. You got a weird style anon

>>4512966
Great, but her arm looks too long. Try making that pose and where your hand goes with your elbow bent like that.

>>4513052
I see. Thanks

Rough, but any tips? I need a lot more practice with any kind of pose thats not straight on.

So many /beg/s keep posting here, damn.

Don't reply to the bait retard

>>4513092
Ain’t bait if it’s true.

>>4501795
Having a bit of difficulty with this one. Idea and execution aren't quite matching.

Need help with posing and anatomy! I can't quite get the feet or the gesture right.

>>4513094
>>/beg/

>>4513165
>duplicating the leg

>>4513107
gave it a shot
just pushed the gesture a little bit more and changed the perspective of the hand

Update

>>4513222
is this easier? although I feel it's spelling out the joke at this point.
>what kind of idiot would want to be a mangaka when he finds he consistently hates drawing?

>>4513269
Try doing the pose yourself.

>>4513365
I tried and it's possible pose. What's your point

cloud me boy!
thoughts?

how did you get this good

>>4513372
retard-poster means that if she's lying, then her bent arm would only get to the top of the hip.
But she's not lying, she's sitting. That's the thing that does not read, either because the pers is too wrong or the drawing too flat/not conveying the forms well. Likely both. Like there should be folds on the stomach, but yours is flat.

>>4513045
I actually get this kind of comment a lot lol. Thanks though.

>>4513536
Yeah it looks better now that I put the shadows on for better understanding of form

>>4511946
>tfw no (you)

agggh I'm done!

The proportions are really off, its like you draw the sketch while the having the canvas zoomed. You cant fix it without deleting it all, but you got potential, just pay more attention to the proportions.

>>4513520
The most obvious answer is to draw and paint a ton. Personally I‘ve never used books or any learning resources like that, I just try to draw as much as I can and figure it out in my own time. I often take note of what I’m seeing in real life, how light plays off of things, shapes, figures, proportions and try to remember them the next time I draw, a lot of times I don’t remember them but if you pay enough attention eventually you’ll recall certain things and apply them to your art. For example, I remember having a “eureka” moment at my friend’s house one time because this spotlight was playing off the orange paint of the wall, and it illuminated a problem I had in regards to how light effects color, so I kind of passively gained a bit of insight that way. That made me realize I could be picking up these little nuggets everywhere I go. So yeah, draw/paint a lot and make sure to be very observant of everything you see, especially when you’re not drawing.

>>4513096
Tried another look.

>>4513206
Ah that makes sense. I think what I had was working, but you made it more dynamic. Thanks for the crit man!

>>4513905
Thanks for the detailed explaination, really interesting how many good artists don't follow the loomis meme

>>4513826
nice render anon but the pose feels stiff

>>4514273
I don't think you know what that word means.

>>4514373
WTF are you talking about all he did was offer criticism? as the guy behind the drawing i sort of agree.

>>4514378
calm your tits bro, it's 4chan not Twitter

>>4510934
>>4510945

I applied this guys's >>4504805 advice. It's actually much more fun in this method. I feel faster right now. Pic related is not there yet. But I'm positive I'll get there in a few weeks.

>>4514520
You should also try to step out of your comfort zone and try more ambitious compositions to really test your understanding of shapes and forms. If you're sculpting to understand volume and shapes better that's great but at the same time you're kind of wasting all your practice away by sticking to a bust-high shot at 3/4 angle.

You should already know this, but half the speed when it comes to drawing and painting comes from understanding your fundamentals, the other half comes from your work ethic (painting with a 1 pixel brush will obviously take longer than painting with an efficiently bigger sized brush). Always remember that if you feel like you're taking too long with a particular thing you should first address whether it's how you're actually doing it in a productive-sense or if you're just too dumb and all the time is just spent "getting a feel" for it. Even if you do already know, it's important for any artist no matter the skill level to be reminded of it.

blog? You're really good

>>4510819
very nice illustration, but he doesn't look anything like a frog lol

... is there gonna be a new thread

>>4514215
Loomis is mainly for retards that don’t know on how to draw or improve.

>>4515106
Loomis is good for learning proportions but you shouldn't need to use loomis construction to draw every figure with every step of the loomis construction method. It is definitely very useful for beginners.

>>4514556
Oh I did this before that bust shot. I was focusing on redoing how I do my faces because they were basically unattractive IMO.
