Does using curved monitor fuck your perspective up?
Make straight lines look bend?

>>4628159
Looks like the studies aren't working. You need more loomis.

>>4628140
Reposting. Really attempt at rendering. I'm not super happy with it. I like the drawing but the "rendered" version looks to me like a flying tires made of play-dough. Also, said turd took twice as long to produce as the drawing and basic shading on the right. Why? Some direction please!

>>4628168
yes? maybe not.
no digital artist is using curved monitor and it hard to say how it will looks like

>>4628175
I'd foreshorten the far side more aggressively and add more gritty hard details like scales and rough skin

I think you posted it like 3 times already without much difference. move on or something

Getting used to drawing on my phone

>>4628181
I saw a video where the guy suggests going super heavy on the detail already at the line drawing phase and I liked how his image came out. So I'll definitely think about detail early on next time. Thanks.

>>4628188
If you're sick if seeing it just tell me what you hate about it. Then I'm more likely to go away. I hadn't gotten any feedback on the shading situation earlier.

Currently watching Huston and learning how to draw the head. I really enjoy how he teaches.

>>4628209
The faces are all too squat. Aside from that good job keep going

>>4628182

Progress over a few days

Been trying to work on positioning the features better, but turns out even getting the loomis sphere right is hard enough. Haven't really looked into drawing the features themselves much yet though.

>>4628214
>too squat?
What do you mean? too square?

Remember to spend 10 minutes minimal daily practicing your cursive. Better handwriting means potentially better drawing.

- ear seems high
- face and overall skull seems good except her hairline; the top of her head seems pointy and misshapen

Please, i would appreciate if someone explained to me how to draw eye sockets

Note: I'm not good at drawing heads, finished part one of fun with pencil weeks prior.

any minorities beginner art teachers? all I see is loomis and vilppu.

>>4628512
>>4628528
Faces are too hard for you right now
Just keep grinding boxes, then read some loomis/huston in order to learn how to construct and draw heads, faces and features. Good luck!

>>4628529
Why does skin color/ethnicity matter to you? Loomis and Vilppu are some of the greatest, if not the greatest. Why would you not want to use and learn from them?

>>4628529
Do some homework you racist. The fact you can't name any shows your privilege.

Thanks for pointing out the errors!

How long should a total /beg/inner spend on a drawing? In addition to Loomis and drawing from life, I've been copying the linework in Bargue to practice taking measurements and stuff. Is a half hour a good amount of time to spend on a figure sketch like that? Should I be spending longer to really try and nail them? Or should I just pump out shitty drawings faster to get them out of the way?

>>4628596
How much time? As much as you want? How much you want depends purely on your ambitions.

hands are hard, is the pose at least not super stiff?

>>4628540
Do you have any thoughts?

>>4628618
Short answer: it's shit

>>4628601
Hm, your way of drawing eyes reminds me of someone I used to be in a discord with

>>4628621
I knew that. I've been drawing daily for nearly a year breaking down cartoons and studying Loomis. I'll revisit part one of fun with pencil later or start reading Drawing the Head and Hands. I've had plenty of reference and toon material in my external hard drive.

>>4628634
Good luck, anon. It's a struggle, but through grit and dedication you'll make it

If this is a year, it's time to move on to another hobby. I'm being honest.

I never really post here but here's a little thing I did. I'm mostly trad so I know my lines aren't very good, but is there anything I'm not getting proportion/perspective-wise?

Anatomy is easy enough to find resources and material for (Loomis, figure drawing etc.) but what is a good way to study value, color and light?

>>4628716
A portrait study I did recent to practice color.
How do you learn to choose the right colors for skin???

Repost from the last thread. Some people DID already help me with this by showing their progress but didn't get a chance to say thanks before the thread got full, so THANK YOU ANONS!!! Also wanted to ask what books or videos are good to use to learn how the heck to study values.

>>4628709
My goals are just as high. But having difficulty drawing a head from reference, and failing miserably after a year, I can only assume you drew 10 minutes a day instead of 4.

>>4628175
i agree that the left looks a lot nicer, the issue seems to be with the hard airbrush shades at the torso and in the mouth. maybe blend that a little more, but also you'd greatly benefit from color and light studies to give the drawing more unity (bring out the blue in the moonlight for example) hope this helped :)

Bro can't you see the painfully obvious differences between your drawing and your ref? What are you even doing?

Had fun doing this, didn't spend too long. What is off about it and what direction should I go for improvement?

Figure drawing practice. IMO they both came out wide

>>4628262
Explain further

Tried some more, I feel like I got worse haha

skele bro from imagination

>>4628808
Don't just draw lines where you think there should be lines. Draw them where there's a clean shape formed by contrast between values.

Huston's head drawing video helped me a lot with facial construction. It's a good starting point for getting your head around the planes of the face. I think that spending more time mapping the features of the face would pay big dividends without much effort as well. Another tip that can be helpful: using two pencils/knitting needles/anything straight to measure angles can really help you get your head around certain angles in drawings (specifically the jaw for this one). It was also helpful for me to spend more time staring at people IRL and on tv while thinking about the forms of the face. They're a lot easier to draw in 2D if you can feel the 3D forms in your mind as you draw them.

How do I practice what I need to practice? I read the sticky, but for the most part it was just explanations of things. Pic related is where I'm at currently, and I'm not afraid to put in the work or anything, I just don't really know how to put the work in. Should I just draw heads over and over? Just draw bodies? Get the basic shapes of people (and Squirtle) down first and then try to refine it? I don't wanna be this bad forever.

Yeah, I know this is probably the worst picture in this thread, but thats why I'm posting this.

I'm not diathorn

When just starting out, is it best to focus on a single resource, or do a bunch of different stuff? I took the w/ic/i's advice and I'm doing Dodson's Keys to Drawing, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't do other stuff too. Like should I also be grinding out Loomis to get a basis in construction, or work through Drawabox to practice fundamentals? Or just stick to one thing at a time?

I don't think you need to follow those books after the whole "draw what you see" thing clicks. Continue to draw a lot of still lives though, draw different subjects and use different mediums.
t. /beg/ but I had a lot of /beg/ level art lessons repeatedly in my school life and had done those exercises many times

>>4628223
i think that you are drawing way too smal and applying too much strengh with the pencil

Going through fun with a pencil and having a blast this book is great though i always have this problem with drifting/wobbly lines when i draw on my tablet. Any suggested activities I can start doing to start improving on that?

>>4629524
what sofware are you using try pumping up the stabilizer

>>4629534
PS 2020. I fiddle around with the smoothing I normally have it sitting around 15-25% but a wobble can still be noticed I tried swapping wacom nibs a few times from felt to solid and spring but the wobble is always there in the details. My normal exercises everyday include 1-2 hours of just drawing ellipses to warm up that was just so i could get good enough at the freehand ellipses FWAP recommends before starting.

Working on my perspective this week

i like this.

I’ve been at this for a year and it’s still total shit.

Ghosted planes from drawabox (started from left to down to right).

What do I need to focus on? I feel I at least got less wobbly as I progressed.

>>4629543
it looks like is a stabilizer problem, download sai 2 and put the stabilizer up to 10-12 and try doing the same

Generally do I shade before details/texture or after?

>>4629566
I had no idea what to expect from trying this but it turns out its still mostly a me problem but drawing in Sai feels much more closer to drawing on paper the stabilizer is still super responsive and my lines do look much cleaner thank you very much!

>>4629603
Doesn't he emphasize the importance of following everything in correct, rigid order? Also even my boxes are clearly low level.

>>4629596
what

>>4629566
As a reward I shall gift you with this smug elf.

>>4629659
so was the problem a sofware thing?

>>4629670
The truth is only time will tell I'll get back on the grind and after a few months if it still persists I'll just cut my hands off.

>>4629615
isnt the first lesson just drawing boxes and squares? that shit only helps to have a better line confidence but the only thing that is really usefull from drawabox is the dissection part, is not really hard, just get the basic idea and start doing stuff yourself with more simple forms if the ones in there are too much for you.

this is more or less what you should be doing now, is not that hard isnt? this is the basic fundation to start seeing forms aka 3D, and leave beg behind.

>>4629471
You draw almost exactly like I do and have the same concerns. Can we get some help?

>>4629471
>>4629700
drawabox and loomis folks. theres a sticky for a reason

Thoughts?

>>4629471
>>4629700
The sticky is a good place to start for complete beginners to get an idea of what you should study first. Perspective is a somewhat easy place to start. If you took an art class in school it should be familiar to you. You are going to have to get rid of bad habits and create new ones. Take it slow and try to have fun with it because you will always have something to learn or improve on in art.

>>4629730
>>4629704
Sticky is good for a lot but everything I read expects some level of actually being able to draw straight lines or ellipses and I just can't find any good resources on actual technique. Drawabox lessons don't really help.

>>4629471
/beg/ here, but from what I see, you should practice a lot of gesture and study proportions a lot. Draw poses to get a general grasp of how the human body works, and remember: at this stage quantity is better than quality, so get some cheap paper and do a lot of quick sketches.

Also, perspective is a must, go read Perspective Made Easy.

>>4629745
check put the resource thread and look for dynamic sketching by peter han.

What kinda set ups do you use for digital painting from life? It's fun but since I can't really take it out with me I mostly end up painting photos or things on my desk.

>>4628248
I tried to get the gesture, but I think I became to bogged with detail.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of faces.
Yeah it's a silly pose, so what

So what's the average span of time for someone to become proficient at drawing? 6 months maybe? Any older beginners here? What's the odds of making it at 28? Should I bother?

I tried to do the picasso thing from the /ic/ beginners sticky, just started today! I messed it up a ton but it was still a lot of fun to do

I just used some random brush cuz I don't really know how to use digital art programs but w/e I'll learn

I'm trying to practice anatomy and figure drawing from reference. I'd appreciate if anyone could point out parts that look off or things I should work on. I also have trouble with details beyond the basic body shapes (muscle lines especially) they always feel out of place when I draw them but the drawing looks empty without them.

>>4630341

You gave her a banana nose. I think it would help if you tried again. First, reduce the opacity of your drawing and place it over the original and check where you have the biggest differences. Then, with those differences in mind, try again, this time taking it slow on the measurement phase. No need to re-color it, just do the measurment & construction phase but slowly.

Asukafag?

sketchtranny thinks he's gods gift to earth

Stupid question probably but, how do you draw using references? I have a habit of copying instead of drawing so it ends up like a chicken scratched, out of proportion version of the original.

>>4630610
use a structure within the drawing as a measurement tool to get the proportions right
people use hands or heads for the most part
break each portion down into a shape and think how they merge into eachother
the goal is not to make an exact copy of the reference, but to create a structure system that you can then reproduce without looking at reference

>>4630616
Thank you, that makes sense. I haven't read the Loomis books yet but I understand that to draw anything resembling a human you have to start practicing with life drawing right?

Started drawing during quarantine, only have an Ipad though

Is it woth getting something better?

Trying to get a better understanding of colors with this one

Instead of crabbing, you could be learning how to draw.

>>4630628
Easier to learn the body from artists and animators, but that's my opinion.

I wanna git gut but i don't know what to spend my time doing. I'm doing drawabox which works for me because progression is very clear. Other than that i just draw my hand every once in a while. Got any /beg/ friendly resources on basically any topic that makes it very clear if you're progressing properly?

>>4629844
>>4629845
Not sure why this guy so mad, but I am really still a /beg/ . Especially without ref

>>4629887
>>4628720

>>4630214
/beg/ here. I think you should start with those Proko anatomy tracings to identify the muscles, your lines look a bit chicken scratchy and your drawing look flat, though I'm not sure why, i get the feel its just your lines and the lack of shadows

>>4630681
just bitter anime ngmi crabs

>the goal is not to make an exact copy of the reference, but to create a structure system that you can then reproduce without looking at reference

Huston's Figure Drawing, draw from porn references and copy artists you like

I don't know how to get good at this. There's such a disconnect between what my eye is Seeing and the direction/length my hand is controlling the pencil in. The end result is a morass of shapes that don't even connect well

>>4631291
you don't need to get good just draw

So I'm doing the drawabox tutorials on a drawing tablet (non-display) and sucking on Table of Ellipses as expected. But one thing that's bothering me is that my ring finger and pinky are both starting to hurt the more I draw. I'm constantly applying pressure on them against the flat tablet as I draw and it's becoming quite distracting.
I also have the same problem when lifting weights for strength training; it's never the muscles I'm training that give in first, it's my hands, whether I'm doing bench press, rows, deadlift or whatever.

Is there a way to address this? I tried modifying the way I hold the pen to alleviate pressure but it feels a lot less natural and my drawing results are exponentially worse. Do I just not have the right hands/fingers for drawing?

Critique/advice? It's my third figure in color. I probably should have picked a different reference since I didn't plan to draw the fabric and ended up guessing skin tones. I wanted to push the colors to give it more contrast but didn't like how it turned out that much. I think the stuff from my highlights layer was too saturated, and maybe the whole figure. Would practicing rendering simple forms help with my messy rendering or should I stick to painting figures if that's what I'm interested in?
Also, is it okay to try to push the colors at this stage or is this something like 'realism first, stylization later'?

>>4630724
Thanks anon I'll take a look at that

>>4631291
The main point is just to draw shapes. Just keep practicing look-hold-draw and occasionally try to blind draw a line here and there as he suggests. Your hand eye coordination will improve naturally.

>>4631307
>>4631342
But the shapes are bad, the lines dont match up or even follow the same direction/angle/length as what I see. If i don't improve, what good is it? What else do I have to do

>>4631347
you aint gonna hit the homerun in your first at bat
but maybe skip the life drawing for now and practice drawing abstract shapes like cylinders, cubes, spheres, etc
the exercise is inviting you to think in the world in terms of a series of shapes so you can use those shapes to construct objects

why do proko's gestures look so ugly

They look flat and abstract

>>4631367
I just don't know how to align the eyes and the hand, I feel like I need to have this Conscious means of associating with one another, so that as the eye sees a curve, the hand mimics it a lot better.

>>4631367
fug forgot pic
Literally only abstract shape thing I had to hand was this bottle opener, tried to gauge the Shape of it at different angles but I'm at a loss already.

>>4631386
the tabletop is more interesting than the painting

Where I can find reference photos with weird angles and foreshortening? Porn I guess?

>>4631410
fuck u my beer is getting warm drawing this aids

>>4631336
forgot reference

>>4631410

oops

>>4631450
>>4631453
look it was some cheapo canadian schlocky shit from a holiday
POINT IS I dont understnad what I should be Consciously, Actively doing when I try and draw as Dodson suggests, the gulf of acuity between what I see and where my hands moves is just too big. There has to be something I'm missing because of COURSE there's some mechanic I'm lacking in

>>4631463
you trying to left brain a right brain task

My faces sucks so I decided to draw a page of nothing but eyes. Gayest shit I've ever drawn to be honest

>>4631475
oh that book.
I'm trying to use that in tandem with Dodson;s book. Trying to. I feel like my brain's being pulled in two different contradictory systme s tho.

>>4631463
Anon, you won't be drawing well by not looking to the paper. Of course you're going to draw deformed shit. The point of that exercise is not to create a good piece of art. Its point is to wire your brain so you'll draw the shapes that you see consciously instead of drawing the shapes that you think there are unconsciously. If you believe that you're doing that, you can try the next exercise.

how do you measure out the eight heads thing for bodies? Like how long is each head supposed to be?

>>4631483
it's hard to explain, but all the chaos in your brain is coming from left dominance saying
>THIS DOESNT MATCH THE SYMBOL
and then bombarding you with word garbage about how things are supposed to be
right brain is just plain perception with no supposed to judgments
it just goes
>oh hey there's a shape, let's draw it
>doesn't match? meh, keep going
>how does this shape connect to that one? let's try this
>that line goes up and to the right
>that area is much darker
>that went alright and it will only be better next time

>>4631493
isn't the left brain does logical-verbal stuff right brain does visual stuff thing outdated

>>4631505
science and philosophy are way behind when defining any mechanism that has to do with our conscious experience
all I know is if I let my inner dialogue overwhelm me I behave like an absolute idiot and can't do anything
if I like my perception and instincts silence it, I can do whatever I want

>>4628222
Okay now show how it helps draw realism and not shitty anime garbage

>>4628255
hey

>>4628574
Awesome. Teach me

With the drawabox ellipses tutorial, are you supposed to rotate the page as you're drawing different angled ellipses? Cause I haven't been rotating the ones I'm drawing angled to the left look disgusting compared to the ones angled to the right.

>>4631561
Generally and even in digital you should rotate the page so the motion your doing is the same and Your ellipses are created in a consistent manner

>>4631561
Scott Robertson likes and iirc recommends rotating the paper for straight lines and ellipses so I think it's fairly safe but t. /beg/

what exercises from drawing on the right side of the brain are the most important

These 8 demarcations are not equal at all in real life. Am I supposed to get a feel for the differences in size and use THAT as a mental guideline?

>>4631615
Same 8 divisions that are not equal at all in real life.

>>4631547
im just a beg but you can see how loomis can be used to generate landmarks in realistic anatomy
realism is just different rendering choices

>>4631615
>>4631618

>>4631615
>>4631618
another example of the huge variance

>>4631623
obviously people are different. those are the ideal standard proportions. you learn them then adjust for different people and body types

>>4628140
Doodled a Pacman

How do I stop drawing lines on every edge ? When I erase them it looks weird even after shading

>>4631646
only draw the lines that are in shade

>>4631621
not really fair to compare the 8 head method to something that isnt human

>>4631621
the model's head is pointing down slightly, of course it's going to appear longer when seen from the front.

I struggle to draw aestheticly pleasing faces.
The all come out deformed or too "Western."

>>4631717

Remember to practice your cursive. Good handwriting potentially leads to better drawing.

>>4631505
do not matter. it is model, concept. and catchy wording. what is actually going on inside is almost irrelevant

>>4631717
asukafag?

>>4631632
Looks like shit.

>>4631621

Started doing digital still trying to apply my style in this new medium...

>>4631772
It’s shit

>>4631772
That looks awesome, anon!

>>4631621
what happened to her eyebrows

>>4631778
Snap snap.

Taking my first steps into background art. Tried putting together a room using single point perspective. Anybody have any resources for learning to do this kind of thing? Particularly interested in single & two point perspective, isometric, axonometric and oblique drawing.

>>4631808
Your art is shit.

>>4631816
Most peoples is the first time they try to draw something.

>>4630220
I think it looks pretty good, I'm trying to work through Hampton but my muscles always look flat as fuck, yours look good. Maybe his left scapula should be a bit higher and neck more forward but I'm not sure, might be nitpicking to give some feedback. Make sure to do many of these and try to draw the entire pose even if you're not going to add all the muscles

>>4631823
>I think it looks pretty good
It looks like fucking garbage

>>4631816
fuck off

>>4631808
My advice would be to grab pictures of interiors and exteriors and draw them. Or draw from life. Lay down perspective guidelines to construct the room, then construct all the furniture and interior design. Don't copy, but construct using freehand perspective as best as you can. Don't try to just draw stuff from your head at first.

You really want to know what realistic perspective looks like to the eye. If all you're doing is constructing off of theories you've read in books without input from the real world, your perspective will almost always be too exaggerated and unnatural. Use the real world to see how the theories work in real life. You'd be surprised at how little convergence there really is on most objects.

>>4631808
I think you should put the horizon line around the eye level. This looks like I'm looking to the hallway standing on a stool so it looks kind of weird.

>>4631892
it not make it wrong if this how he want to position camera

>>4631816
Your "critique" is shit.

>>4631863
Yeah, I was panicking a little around how to put objects into the space. I'll give it a go starting from a real reference, I can see how that'd help practice placing/sizing objects in perspective.

Thanks.

>>4631892
haha I thought I was doing something wrong when I placed it, it's the bump in that top horizontal line. Will try placing it eye level next time.

Interesting to see the effect it has, like >>4631897 points out.

WIP

Ok so this is not finished, how do I fix it? I cannot continue further until its fixed.

>>4631476
how do i get like you, friend, what's your secret

>>4631621
people who have yellow fever are literally mentally ill

>>4631954
draw for the brain not for the penis.

All I've really felt like doing for the last few weeks are gestures. Can doing too many gestures retard your progress? Like by ingraining bad habits?

Please respond

>>4631978
redline please.

Hey is copying ok if I use construction or still not good

You could also help me with this one

>>4631981
no

>>4631954
this looks fine to me. Good enough for most coomers

>>4631453

ive been /beg for like 4 months, i was trying to make a soft moth girl. Been having trouble getting a soft or fluffy look without spending retarded time layering and layering with a charcoal brush. even now it still doesnt look right to me so im here for more opinions

>>4632001
>>4631954
I actually like your art style. Do you have a blog or an artist that you get your inspo from?

>>4632065
No, I just like how they look all clean and streamlined, for example I am in love with Dorothy and Ozma from Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, they are my lovers.

>>4631781
Emilia Clark stole them

>>4631954
This is ready for a game. In fact, better than many indie games.

>>4632001
If coomer art doesn't work out for you, you could do children's books.

I wanted to practice drawing from imagination but feel like I'm not ready for it yet and thought changing the perspective of a drawing might be an exercise at a level somewhere in between. Is this a good thing to practice? I've seen people do stuff where they change the direction of the lighting as an exercise but not something like this.

Anyone have any good skeleton references?

mak nu thread plzzzzz

Therrrrrrrre's the problem, I don't know what is Good Enough or Needs More Practice

You just gotta feel the form bro
