i agree
why do male superheroes have tight clothes/costumes?

>>4737145
to show off their physique, which is heroic.

>>4737138
Fucking hell stop making these threads already.

>>4737154
No.

>>4737275
Please?

>>4737138

Why do you promote this guy so much?

>>4737290
My purpose is to redirect begs who fell into loomis towards the actual noob-friendly resource.

>>4737295
You mean FWAP right? Because figure drawing book is a good book.

>>4737147
you can still look heroic and show your physique w/o tight clothes, i mean look at hiei

>>4737603

>>4737603
Rather than wear tight clothes, a muscular man should wear practical but revealing cothes... like a tank top and jeans or something

Btw, a mega with the course is here >>4732957

I am beg who is unironically finding this course very useful. I triple the practice and already feel very comfortable using the overhand grip. It’s good so far.

I'm just happy you guys are all drawing

>>4737294
daddy brent does art good

Someone described Brent as the tutorial for Vilppu.

>>4737138
link pls

what's the point on making daily threads on this vilppu/hampton ripoff

>>4738500

>meme eviston
is this the new beg trap you guys are pushing? what happened to draw a box?

>>4738502

>>4738518
Does he use hard round?

>>4738538
It's a traditional painting

>>4738510
Why it's a trap?

It’s not a trap.

sucks the link to his figure/gesture drawing course went down.

The figure course is on online course club. Does anyone have a mega link for instead though?

>>4737648
yeah dude like goku

>>4739677
The one in online course is not the full thing or the same the mega link had

Well then, a two month skillshare trial is actually the best move here

Welcome to Unit 2 Course 5. I'm really proud of you for making it this far anon, you're really making a great effort so far.

Brent made me feel like I'm gmi

Thx u based Brent

>>4737138
I like him too

>>4742246
He is a big boy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FNF1zjX8KsY

Triple his homework. I already feel more comfortable holding a pencil properly, making circles, ovals etc. I’ve improved greatly with confidence and lines on paper. Based.

>>4742448
>Triple his homework.

Lol no. All you're doing is training your dexterity for that particular tool and that particular setup. It does nothing when you translate it back to the tablet, even if you're using a cintiq.

The point of lines/circles/ellipses exercises is to get you acclimated to your medium. Spending 5 to 10 minutes at most whenever you go back to whatever medium. Photoshop takes nothing to make an ellipse/circle/straight line.

The important thing is that you're drawing.

>>4742448
yeah i'm gonna start doing this, at least for the circle/oval shit. kind of scared i might not be able to do it since i've always had shitty penmanship and had to do occupational therapy as a kid. i think i'm ok at drawing circles/ovals normally but vertical ovals and vertical lines fuck me up hard for some reason, my arm just can't move that fast or fluid in a vertical direction

For Week 4, day 5, I need pictures like this (cubes, compound forms and cups). Recommend me some.

>>4742448
I dislike overhand gripping. I'd stick to the tripod.

Just google still life images. Lots of simple shapes.

drawing is not a TALENT
ANYONE can learn easily to draw***

*EXCEPT if youre unable to draw perfect fucking circles, perfect fucking ovals, perfect fucking lines of symmetry like me brent eviston teehee~ in that case just go back to page 1 and grind the exercises again and again and still fail at them because your arms just dont move that way : - )

yep talent doesnt exist but i cant get the little "talent" of being able to do what is apparently the simplest fucking thing to this guy. you can beat talent with hard work in basketball but a guy without arms or legs cant reach either the hard work guy nor the talented one. no art course/book has ever made me feel like absolute shit like this before, im going schizo mode. fuck you brent and fuck your course

Ive been enjoying his videos a lot so far. Certainly a lot more than loomis and drawabox. Fuck drawabox

>>4742820
you never go full schizo mode anon. i believe in you, just keep at it brother

>>4742820
You have no right to complain unless you have tried for more than 10 hours. Also, use your arm.

You can’t actually be complaining about drawing circles with practicing. Try different speeds. Use the arm. Use the grip he’s using. Ghost it. It will come. I believe in you big time

>>4742820
all you need is more mileage, you'll get it anon

>>4742857
>>4742891
>>4742899
>>4742967
i'll try my best bros. i just feel it's one of those "things" i'll never get. not to say i can't learn but just that i'm not good enough at precisely holding a pencil to make the shapes as perfect as he does. will try to do 500 circles/ovals a day from now on i guess

Make sure to draw from the arm. Make sure to use AT LEAST 11x14 paper. Smaller paper will make your life harder. Get a longer lead on your pencil. Notice Brent is holding his pencil at the tip, pretty much holding the lead each time. If you can’t sharpen a long lead yourself just get a long lead sharpener. You’re gonna make it.

Here are mine. I get they are beg tier. But I honestly couldn’t draw a circle two weeks ago. Have probably done 30 or so pages of this on dollar store large sketch pad.

>>4737138
i love the constant chad eviston shilling in every thread, keep going

For me, it's Art School for digital artists.

>>4743194
Yeah kek have fun with that.

>>4743053
changed the way i grip the pencil and i'm becoming elite at this. think im gonna make it bros
>>4743103
yeah i should probably look into getting bigger paper, thank you for the advice though
>>4743118
i believe in u anon

>>4743118
fucking hell thats a waste of good paper, you could learn the same shit about controlling your hand and pencil while doing exercises thata ctual teach and help you

Open to hearing about these exercises you mention. I've seen improvement doing this - also the paper is from the dollar store. But definitely down to learn a better way if ya got one.

How is tight clothing not practical? No restrictions, essentially another layer of skin.

>>4738184
source of this pic?

>>4737138
I'm retarded, is it a book or a video?

>>4744467
video course, you can find it in the video course thread >>4732956

>>4744467
A video course anon

Is this a good course to start with?

>>4744970
This is THE course for BEGs.

>>4743218
Broke ass nigga detected

>>4743194
oh you poor thing. You got suckered into Brunett's snake oil.

redpill me on brent eviston

>>4745115

* 8 weeks course.
* One subject/assigment per day.
* Teaches the very basics of drawing (Basic skills, Dynamic Mark Making, Form & Space, Measuring & Proportion, Contours, Shading Fundamentals, Shading: Beyond the Basics)
* Videos around 15-25 mins with tasks at the end
* "Congratulations!"

/ic/ likes to introduce BEGs to books either too verbose or too centerd into one or two subjects, then you wonder why are you drawing potatoes and spheres if you don't event know how to draw a straight line.

>>4745140
Not gonna lie, that sounds pretty good. I'll have to give it a shot.

Been running in circles for 7 months and everything seems too advanced to me, even fucking Loomis, hope this will help me to upgrage to at least /beg/ level.

>>4745257
what are you having trouble with specifically anon? the /beg/ sticky was really helpful for me in how it talks about symbol drawing and making sure to get past that phase before approaching other subjects

>>4745345
Everything, I never really improved beyond my starting point no matter what I tried.
>symbol drawing
Yeah yeah everytime I posted my work some smartass would tell me "hurr durr stop symbol drawing", I know that you're supposed to draw what is actually there instead of what you thing the subject looks like but no one ever explains how to get past that or tell whether you're still doing that or not.

You need perception
>One good way to train your perceptions is to take a look at optical illusions. They will make your brains go in limbo, when it tries its best to make sense of the image. Optical illusions make you aware of the true state of things, which allows you to gain invaluable insight. Once you have the understanding, you can have very accurate visual images in your mind, which are much more easier to put on canvas. That said, I find that perception is as much about the ability of imagining things visually in mind as it's about seeing the physical subject.

and learn perspective.

>>4745257
Loomis Head?
If you dont undestand how a sphere works, them never ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PReCKFHG6A

>>4745381
i'm probably not the best person to give advice but i'd rather try than leave you out to dry. the google doc in the op of /beg/ explains symbol drawing really well and recommends bert dodson's keys to drawing as a means of learning to "see" and combating symbol drawing.

Keys to Drawing, especially the first few chapters on setting a top and bottom, finding the middle point and comparative measuring should all help!!

Anyone has a link for his figure drawinc course?

>>4745140
How long does each assignment generally take?

>>4745381
Learn perspective or dynamic sketching u ain't gonna symbol draw ever again

>>4746193
I don't think the hardest ones take more than 1 hour. Usually it takes less time, but you probably should spend more time if you want to improve faster. Practice is what makes you better.

Did no one manage to save brent eviston's figure drawing course on mega ?

>>4746656
Yes, my but upload rate is low, sorry. Do you need any file in concrete? The course is on online-courses.club too.

Okay now I know it's a scam and a load of horseshit

Anybody got before and after or progression pics from this course? How much does it really help?

>>4747492
It help to cuz it gives alot of information and it's easy to understand. It's just a guide doesn't help you inprove at all. The improvement is still up to how much you've practice it.

>>4737138
IF I SEE ONE MORE FUCKING TWITTER THREAD I SWEAR TO GOD

anyone got recommendations for a (cheap) art setup for drawing life like the one he recommends in course 3-4? he stresses the importance of it but all the setups he recommend looked uncomfortable/unwieldy as fuck. i tried just tilting a sketch pad against a desk but it really didn't work great either, was thinking about getting a clipboard or something but i doubt that would be much better

i realize it's not the end of the world if i'm not able to do it but i feel kind of guilty for not really doing an exercise the right way or getting a lot out of it.

>>4745047
Snake oil?

>>4747597
Fuck you for making me smirk

this or drawabox?

part of the W3D1 homework. I'm quadrupling the homework, so only 215 circles, 200 ovals and 200 spheres left. :^)

>>4752622
You're not supposed to grind, you're not absorbing it any faster doing hundreds at a time, nor does 4x More = 4x Better. You are better served doing the assignment as given and moving on to more complex concepts. You're actually learning more this way as you are applying an abstract exercise to practical use.

>>4752644
Not him, but he literally recommends doubling or even tripling the homework in the first lesson of the first eeek.

>>4752644
"If you quadruple the amount of practice, it still won't be practicing too much. You CANNOT practice these fundamental skills too much. And in fact, the more you practice them, the more skilled you're going to get." - Brent @ 14:50~ W3D1 video

>>4752650
>>4752656
I think you're misunderstanding slightly, rather than literally quadrupling the HW you can and should practice these drills often. It makes more sense to just do them every day than 400 circles at once, but whatever.

>>4737294

It's like Proko in one minute, lmao.

do you guys use the perspective lines to draw all the cubes? just seems a bit tedious (not that i mind but i wasn't sure if you're eventually supposed to learn to draw them freehand)

WEEK 2
DAY 4
THE TACTILE LINE
i cant get it I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IT LINES ARE CONFUSING TO ME MY LINES ARE SO SAMEY, BORING DESCRIPTIVE OUTLINES

>>4737603
yes, I agree. however, you can also look heroic by wearing tight clothes to show off your physique

For the W1D5 assignment, can I use an image as reference, or does it have to be from life?

Just finished my still drawings for W3D5
Shit is hard, especially complex cynlindrical shapes

>>4759795
from life

>>4745140
so this is the way then?
I'm about to press play and follow along

>>4758834
Look at manga and observe lines. You got speed lines, you got twitchy lines, hasty lines, lines that are bold, lines that are light, lines that convey all kinds of emotion.

Best book or course for perspective for a beg?
