What the fuck does any of this mean. I have watched this and I still have no clue what 'feeling the form' is supposed to mean.

>>4773091

>>4773094
you don't know, you feel

>>4773143
What the fuck does any of that mean.

feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel anon f e e l

When the fuck can I start learning anatomy instead of just doing observational drawing? Doing an outline feels like absolute shit and not the way it should be done

>>4773175
Is this just some bullshit platitude nonsense?

>>4773070
draw the rest of the body, you are good enough with heads

>>4773178
sticky

>>4773178
1- learn to construct simple geometrical forms
2- use them to learn a figure method to construct the body.
3- learn anatomy outside-in.
4-????
5- profit

>>4773172
>>4773175
> practice so much
> it becomes part of your nature

I just want to feel the form but I can't tell if I'm doing it right or not.

I'm scared (>.<)

why are you posting work after youve drawn like 10 things in your life? like what do you want us to say? you have to go draw 1000s of figures and then we can start to give actual advice on where youre lacking, because at the moment so much is amateur its hard to give advice other than keep drawing

what do you think?

it aint the best, just a silhuette but its good practice, get used to the shape and boxing things up

>>4773234
I dunno friend. Alex always says he will give me feedback on my work after I complete an exercise but I'm a filthy pirate

>>4773234
...because that's the purpose of the thread?

>made a consistent habit of drawing at this point
>steady 30+ day streak aside from 1 skip
>not seeing the gains i want
>only drawing for 45 minutes
>almost dread pushing for 1 hour
all of us that deserve it will make it bros...

>>4773247
the things you're supposed to improve are so fucking obvious if you use your brain instead of wanting to be spoonfed critique

instead of looking for praise, look for the answers yourself

why is this so hard, what am i doing wrong

>>4773236
what ya thing chaps and chapettes?

ive said this before but it never ends, this thread is just full of people that have drawn for like one day or a week and come here saying critique??? when the whole thing is a fucking mess and then they say omg drawing is so hard i cant even draw a straight line or box lmao, like yes bro it takes fucking years and years of hard work, READ THE STICKY AND READ THE BOOKS

>>4773281
>thread is just full of people that have drawn

Anon..I..

>>4773273
What kind of method are you using man?

>>4773273
Wtf are the lines on the left pic supposed to be representing?

>>4773296
i'm trying figure drawing for artists and one of the exercises is to build the pose in a different angle

>>4773292
building basic shapes and wrapping lines around them, followed by scribbling

Lads, I've been practicing a lot drawing with paper, but it's not transferring to my digital art as much as I'd like. My lines with physical ink are 100x better than what comes out on my tablet. I'm very much /beg/ and not great in any sense, but I do notice a *huge* difference when I draw on actual paper.

I've heard that 'drawing is drawing', but is there more to it than that? I also heard that electric guitar and acoustic were basically the same thing, but when I was a beginner with that I found them way more different than people told me.

Should I just focus more on digital?

About to head off for the day. What do I need to fix up before I continue with this when I get home?

At first glance the legs look a bit short and the far side of the back is poorly defined. I'm also having trouble getting the sword blade into perspective. Any tips or advice?

>>4773322
This was the ref if at all relevant.

How much perspective should I know before I go into figure drawing? I have Erik Olson's course but I'm thinking that may be a bit too comprehensive. Or should I just continue on with the course since it should benefit me in the long run?

>>4773316
>I've heard that 'drawing is drawing', but is there more to it than that?
They're not the same, in the same way that watercolor is not the same as pencil. Different mediums. It'll take time to get used to it.

>>4773322
The position of the left hand. Goes too far around the sword hilt.

>>4773306
I believe that's an optional challenging exercise, and you're supposed to choose and angle very close to that of the original drawing. See Huston's example. Give it a try just for fun but don't worry too much about it and keep going. Drawing structure and cross countours over your reference is much more important to practice imo.

>>4773327
I'm doing the Erik olson course. Just do all of it and draw along. The reason why there's so much of it is to make perspective intuitive so you don't have to do all the precise planning and measuring when you do your own work.

>>4773366
Alright I guess I'll go through with it then, thanks.

does anyone else's gut sink after they draw and they feel unaccomplished
it keeps reoccuring and i hate it

>>4773447
It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success.

>>4773447
i feel accomplished despite drawing like shit because the drawing made me happy and made friends and family happy

>>4773452
Post your work, I want to see what made people so happy.

>>4773452
You sure they just didn’t want to make you feel bad?

>>4773453
they are generic portrait sketches thats been posted here before and my next ones not done so i dont wanna be a repost randy

>>4773457
everyone will always have some semblance of imposter syndrome and no one can be completely sure of anything so i dont think about it that way too much.

>>4773468
that's why you ask someone you cheated before to know the truth

>>4773475
but wouldnt that just tip it the other way anyway? sure someone who dislikes me wont compliment me on something bad but may insult me on something good so the truth ends up being skewed just the same.

>>4773482
if they insult you then the drawing is fine, if they laugh at it then it's bad

these planes cannot hold my power

>>4773491
100% opacity
try again

>>4773228
This is excellent practice. Keep going anon.

Does anyone have the link to Brent Evistons' stuff? Or the link to the thread with a lot of resources. I can't seem to find either.

>>4773327
>How much perspective should I know before I go into figure drawing?
Zero.

>>4773236
it is ok

I'm gonna go buy a sketchbook tomorrow

>>4773730
sounds like youre on your way to making it into the big leagues

>>4773325
erik olson's course is helping me make sense of some of this stuff but boy figure drawing is still hard

>>4773730
I am happy for you anon. :)

>>4773092
are the As and Rs their names?

>>4773788
Top is A for Asian
Bottom is R for niggeR

>>4773753
Man at least pick a nice subject for your drawings. But you are doing good enough

>>4773788
R is from reference, A is trying to apply what i learn without looking at reference.

>>4773864
my favorite resources so far

anatomy - gottfried bammes & anatomy4sculptors

head drawing - loomis(drawing the heads and hands) and doing a ton of head & skull studies.

perspective - erik olson. i wish i never wasted a single second reading nordling/scott robertson.

been drawing since a kid, mostly copying anime & manga, doodling in class, etc.

The first time I ever tried to improve was during summer when I was 15 found a pdf of loomis and bridgeman, just copied the drawings in there but it was my first introduction to fundamentals and construction.

I wish i started learning perspective and had the discipline to grind fundies years ago, don't be like me :(

>>4773887
I see, thank you for the information.
>don't be like me
Well, I'm 4 years too old to start at 15 but I'll grind those fundamentals, luck anon

here is my study of noodle physics

>>4773861
You need to take the leap from the nest and fly with the /draw/ bros.

>>4773730
this is how every master started anon.

Does anyone have that picture that explains line weight and has one of the examples as, "The Butch Hartman"

God fucking damn, I keep trying to learn how to blend colors but it just feels like every attempt is a series of failures and I take away nothing from it.

Did I pick a bad image to use or is there just something I am missing as a beginner?

Began doing that 300 head challenge that Weston mentioned in his course

Anything Major before I move on to flats?

>>4774004
yeah you're using low saturation for the shading, try using more flesh tones on the skin

>>4774013
what is she sitting on?

>>4774010

I haven't seen sword in the stone in ages, and you instantly brought it back to me. really nice

>>4774027
earth
>imagine the smell

Did I even start off on the right foot? I was told to start with the basic shapes and colors first then start adding more detail but I honestly don't even know how to do this shit with just a round brush.

>>4773213
do a lot of 30 second gestures over and over again for days

>>4773281
i wonder why a thread called /beg/ is filled with beginners. also, one question mark is sufficient.

>>4774044
then you should put her upward a little, it looks like she is sitting in a denting gymnastics ball
>imagine the smell
as long as she is not farting like me last week she would probably smell really nice,good work otherwise anon

I just realized how many image references of women I have compared to men

>>4774148

Same here. Got 2611 images and only 26 of them feature males.

I'm almost done with Keys, what should I do next: perspective made easy or fun with a pencil?

>>4774228
On chapter one, how do you do your lines?

>>4773198
4- learn shading and rendering
4.5- do art commision

>>4774004
your shadow tones are muddy and not blended well at all.

the eye in the back is not wrapped around the skull, making it look like symbol drawing.

use more hard and soft edges.

I haven't played any video games for two months straight since I started, but I got a new one a few days ago and now I'm having trouble making myself draw again. I should just quit this fucking hobby

>>4773930
noodle looks like hair

anatomy is all over the place

use reference, if you are not using

When drawing a box, how do you know which one is the front facing plane?

>>4774270
Quit being a manchild and uninstall all games from your computer.

My first rendering, I chose a horse cock (sorry for unecessary thread on it)
Help me get it? Painting is hard as fuck

Tried to do "Child seated in wicker chair" focusing on the negative spaces. It was going well but I fucked up the proportions and then things don't connect.
How can I gauge how big things are? Especially when drawing long uninterrupted lines, I always make them too long or too short.

>>4774344
you just pick one? just make sure that you have a consistent light source if you have multiple boxes

>>4774344
With those boxes, it's blatantly obvious which side is forward since they're in perspective. I mean, just try to look at it inverted. It's not even rectangular any more.

>>4774345
quit being a massive faggot
i bet you spend your time reading stoicism and looking at victorian paintings
>>4774270
just do whatever the fuck you want, you'll draw when you want to. drawing is an hobby to enjoy, not some sort of obligation.

>>4774270
Which hobby? Video games or drawing?

In fun with a pencil, at what point do you move on from the potato heads to the ball and plane method? Any example images would really help. pic related are mine, I'm assuming I'm not there yet but I'd like to know what I should aim for

TIL appreciating art and philosophy is faggotry.

are you feeling the form? draw potato heads until you can feel the form

but the neck is too long

>>4773179
>Use the force Luke. Luke, Luke. u-use the force
yes. drawing is technical, "feeling" wont do shit. You can't "feel" a good picture into existence if you have no idea what you're doing.

>>4774821
>he was born without the drawing force
literally ngmi

Hard round or textured?

>>4773269
u don't have to be a cunt

>>4774840
maybe if you said what for you dumb fuck, as a beg in general hard round should be your brush for everything though as you can see your mistakes and not rely on brushes to make something appealing, learn shape appeal proportions etc etc

hello i'm making a big drawing! i just finished the pencil lines, i still need to ink the lines and color it
it looks confusing now but i know i have to use proper line width and colors to make it look nice

it looks better if you look at it cross eyed

What's wrong with me? Also separate issue but is it harder to draw a straight line on tablet instead of traditional?

>>4774942
nothing wrong with HB if it's dark enough. Hi-Uni HBs are dark enough for sketchbooks but not dark enough for comic paper imo

>>4774920
i see what you mean anon. i knew something was off about it and that was it. using loomis just makes me draw weirdly long faces for some reason. i guess i'm gonna have to work on that and see what i'm doing wrong. anyway thank you anon, this looks so much better now

>>4774598
You'll know that you're ready when you sense the spirit of Loomis guiding your hand.
Seriously though just try it out and see how it goes.

>>4774994
just don't worry about grinding shit. it takes the fun out of drawing. literally just draw. you'll shit out something you'll like eventually and you build up from that.

>>4774767
I actually really like this.
The right arm is fucked, though, the wrist is pencil thin and the shoulder joint is stretched to the side.

>>4774572
the expression is nice

If I feel uncomfortable using a drawing tablet, but like how the product comes out better, should I bother trying to fully do my drawings in digital or should I just draw them traditionally first and then scan, edit, and color that way? I mostly like to draw with ink though and I'm kinda afraid if I scan it it won't be a deep enough black for me to be happy

everyday I'm grinding
kill me

drawing outside is fun

>>4774994
if you find learning fun than ok thats fine, dont force it

>>4774598
I just moved as soon I got bored.

>>4774661
not bad, now finish it

>>4774748
not sure about the proportions, is it suppose to be foreshadowed? it just looks like she has a very short arm and torso. the face is nice

>>4774767
not bad

it just need some more appealing shapes. like the head, there is nothing wrong with it, it just isn't appealing. of course that is subjective.

also tangents, like the one on with the sleeve and the bag. or the gun tail leg one

also silhouette, the tail/leg makes hard to read the hand/gun

>>4774777
nice style

>>4775092
every time i try to draw real shit i draw style shit.
what can i do? i just want to draw real shit

>>4774904

What are you using? Paint? I think it would be nicer if you used a different software unless you want this specific aesthetic

>>4774905
need more construction. I see the cross for the eyes but I don't see the sphere and nothing for the side plane of the head.

>>4775113
i'm using paint
i can't really install anything else on this pc. it's a dell latitude d610 that cost about £96. the medium isn't the message though.

Digital is a crutch

>>4774994
>>Today take out my drawing tablet and just try doodling ideas I had for a comic

maybe you had too much pressure? like you feel like you had to do it? try just drawing whatever.

>Also separate issue but is it harder to draw a straight line on tablet instead of traditional?

I don't do digital but I always heard that is it the case, something about the tablet no having that "bite" that the paper does

>>4775005
>using loomis just makes me draw weirdly long faces for some reason.

Use references. Loomis method has flaws and I think accurate mouth placement is one of them. Loomis himself didn't use the loomis method until he had been drawing realistic looking heads for decades already.

i just wanna get good bros *cries*

>>4775158
you thought wrong, the placement used in loomis isn't wrong, wtf are you talking about

>>4775106
I was talking about the 1 bit pixel art style, not stylized anatomy if that what you mean. it does not really look stylized in that sense.

>>4775133
did you use the circle/side plane for the mouth/eye/ear placement?

>>4775162
His mouth placement guidelines are different in every example. Sometimes he measures from the bottom of the lower lip, sometimes from the parting. Many of his example balls dont even have mouth lines. Some of his guide lines show the lips only being as wide as the nose. Loomis can get away with it because he's a professional artist. Begs can't because they don't have drawing a good head ingrained already to override the programming in cases when the loomis ball doesn't work.

>>4775161

nice ass!

can you guys tell me how long it takes to learn how to draw with some actual real answers? Obviously I realize it varies / depends on the person but I want to see some actual hour or day estimates from real people, preferably ones who learned after 20. At this point I'm not even that concerned about how long it takes to get good, I just want to feel like I can actually hold and control my pencil.

>>4775199
it would help if you posted an example and asked how long do you think it takes to get to this level? rather than how long does it take to draw, draw what? to what level? the question is just too open ended

>>4775199
do you use a premium pencil? sketchbook paper or comic paper?

If you get a Hi-Uni pencil with B lead and some I-C comic paper, you'll be able to do more complex illustrations very fast.

>>4775179
i tihnk you should have less contrast for things that are far away. that is to say have more atmospheric perspective.

>>4775210
yes I thought my ink was much more watered down than it was

>>4775210
this the image looks super flat because its all so uniform

>>4775202
Well thats why in my post I just asked how long it would take to simply feel comfortable with the pencil. To answer you're question pic related is what I consider to be my least shitty drawing, ideally I would like it to look like the reference image. I should note I took a small break, about three months, and I'm pretty sure now I'm worse than when I started

>>4775205
I don't know if this is a meme or what

>>4775184
Self bumpin

>>4775199
5h evey weekend with at least 2h of them dedicated to study probably 1 year or less(10months) to get the basics down

now if you only do studies and pump these 5h to 8 probably in 6 months or a little less

now to get good at whatever your goal is idk im not there but i have seen the progrees of a lot of people and their style doesnt progress that much every year lets say it goes from 10 at their peak to 11 then 12 and so on it's not much.

the biggest factor to learn when you are a total beg is if your program is efficient or not and you are not wasting time doing things the wrong/slow way, you could study 10h but if they are 10h of drawing stuff that could be done in 2h if done better it's gonna be a drag

>>4775234
that can be done probabbly in 3 months if done correctly

>>4775234
id say line quality like that takes around 3/4 months its nothing big, learn to draw from your elbow/shoulder dont chicken scratch and do nice bold lines, you have ctrl z use it as many times as you need, i mean if you want to see that you can do it than just trace one time so you can see your current level, if you just want to see line quality

3 weeks ago i bought a wacom intuos m and i've decided to start to draw by learning loomis and face features first. how am i doing it? i don't know how to draw hair yet

>>4775238
if its sloppy it will always look bad. to start you should try to draw with just two tones a light tone for light and a dark tone for shadow. later you can add more tones in the light area and mid tones. you should have the most variation in tone where the light translations into shadow, have little variation in the light, and no variation in shadow to make them flat.

>>4775252
>>4775253
thanks for the answers anons 3 months doesn't sound bad though I will have to learn about drawing from your elbow and shoulder

>>4775210
>i tihnk you should have less contrast for things that are far away. that is to say have more atmospheric perspective.
What program should I use to give it more of a gauze-y looking background effect?

My fundies! They're getting out of control anon, you've got to get out of here!!

>>4775270
only if you don't fall for any dumb meme

>>4775264
ah i see now, anon. Do you have any other tips or tutorial i can look up?

>>4775234
Look up what bargue plates are and try to spend a few hours on the first few doing your best to make an exact copy.

>>4775271
i dont know what you mean by gauzy, but in photoshop i just made a layer for the background and painted it almost white, the color of your paper. then i played with the opacity. i have a separate layer for the water

>>4775287
look up "modeseven tutorials" hes a porn artist but he has good tutorials it might be what you are looking for

what do you mean a paper doll? you mean it looks flat?

>>4775291
>i dont know what you mean by gauzy
essentially like that, it's just a rough sketch so it's not for a project but it's good to know.

I've found my style :)

>>4775374
Thanks, I skipped them since I haven't studied them enough yet and its also unfinished.

Appreciate the support bro.

say hi to my waifu :)

Personally no but if you actually drew the hands and feet then it's good enough to get clicks

>>4775417
hello nurse

>>4775417

>>4773491
use a different brush. Try experimenting with brushes.

>>4774919
If you're starting out, just draw what you like!
When you feel comfortable enough, you can decide whether or not you want to study.
I really hope you have fun drawing anon. :))

think more about the shapes under the shadow. For example, each finger is round and will distort the shadow, but you decided to just give the shadow on her hand a straight line.

>>4775543
i dont know about anime but like >>4775558
said you should use the shadows as an opportunity to describe the form. and make sure cast shadows are crisp,

well i don't know what's worse, him using knowledge we wouldn't have known at the time or the fact that i wasted my time grinding the beginner shit again

If drawing things with ink and coloring them digitally works for you, there's no reason not to do that.

>>4775636
mouth is pretty wide

Trying to draw a more realistic male face, anything look super out of place?

aaaaaaaaah why leg anatomy so hard. when i look at a reference i always get lost especially going down the knee area it is so confusing

is this any good?
it's lorian from dark souls 3.

>>4775708
you outlined the lips too hard.
try leaving gaps in the outline that you either fill with shading/hatching, or just leave empty to emply shading.

>>4775708
The jaw looks a bit weird to me. Way too angula if you're going for a realistic style. But if it's stylised then it's a pretty good drawing

>>4775723
Also the eyes look very symbol drawn. You can't really symbol draw in realism.

>>4775714
It has a nice style - however the legs are weird, they should be pointing behind him

>>4775733
yeah i realized that too late and had no way of fixing it.
For whatever reason i thought it was fine when i first outlined it

>>4775714
looks good. post it in the draw thread so crabs tear it to shreds

>>4775712
how are you getting lost with a reference? Are you not breaking forms down?

Trying to get a grip on painting digitally. Am I getting it?

How do you draw the skin on top of the anatomical forms?
I get that you draw the drapery of the skin on top of it, I just don't know the "how."
Does anyone go into it?

>>4775417
What kind of panties does she wear?

>>4775765
nun

ok crabs I'm back, where the fuck is my critique on >>4775339?

>>4775316
>you mean it looks flat?
yes, but also the way that the lower leg/arm overlap the upper leg/arm as well their shape. pic related is a example of I am talking about.

by how much it look like those dolls and by how good everything else is. It would look intentional, if not by the shoulders and hips

>>4775199
>I just want to feel like I can actually hold and control my pencil.
do draw a box, before I did it drawing was like writing with my off hand, now, for the most part, I have control over my lines

not sure about the shape of her right thigh, aside from that I could nitpick about tangents, appeal, and composition, but it is pretty good to me.

>>4775764

She's supposed to have artificial cyber forearms and forelegs, the rest of the body is organic.
I will try to make it look more 3D with shading
Maybe the elbows look better with curves like these?

is there anything I can do to improve my circles or is it just a case of grinding it until I can draw decent circles?

unintentionnaly pressed too hard when doing his lips and couldn't fix it :/
just pretend they're a shade lighter

>>4775258
Eyes, mouth and ears are too big for the facial structure.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

>>4775863
Most people can never draw perfect circles at first try.
Yours are good already (the ones that are circles, not those ovals)

>>4775904
Yeah it looks like he's biting his lip haha
Looks nice though

>>4775917
Give nipples
Also be careful about the light source

>>4775837
>>4775858
thanks for the feedback

Okay need some help drawing heads. I am clearly doing something wrong with the Loomis method. Should I place the eyes over that horizontal line that cuts the ball or what? What about the length of the chin? Also sorry for the dead anime eyes, I will practice eyes after knowing how the fuck I should draw a head.

>>4775917
judging by the way she's holding the sword, it should be pointing a bit more forward towards the viewer instead of down.

>>4775927
one issue that they all share is that the eyes are always too close.

>>4775927
Eyebrows are on the middle of the ball. Eyes themselves are in the middle of the head overall. Chin is about the same distamce as the bottom nose to bottom of the bottom lip. Use reference pictures.

>>4775931
Thanks, did not notice that!

>>4775932
Thanks, you saved me. I suppose I should vary that proportions a little if I don't want to suffer the same-face syndrome, right?

>>4775937
honestly the best thing you can do for yourself right now is drop stylization all together and study from refrence until you have a solid understanding of construction and proportions.
then you can alter them as you see fit.

>>4775031
Good work anon, I would like to draw like you. Where are you studying from?

>>4775944
Thanks anon, as soon as I posted that photo I dropped the anime faces and tried drawing from reference. I took the photo and then realized the ear is too high. Fuck

>>4775951
much better; you're on the right path and have potential.

>>4775951
now thats an improvement. this is why i always say never start with anime faces

>>4775927
loomis says all of that in the book.
there should be a part where the head gets further divided into lines, and he shows you where the face parts go

it took me 3 months of digital drawing to realize i literally only use a single square inch of my tablet

After hours of construction practice, decided to try a fun piece to try what I learned. Think I'm pretty happy with this so far.

Does anyone know any fundamental exercises? This turned out bad and I really want to improve

>>4776003
chin is weird
all i have is mouse and mspaint so it's not much of a redline but here

>>4776018
mouse redline confirmed.

Prepare for extermination

>>4775720
>>4775723
>>4775725
I fixed the lips and softened the jaw, i messed around with the eyes but im not sure if it made it any better.

>>4775905
okay i will try to fix that and then i'll post

Did this today. Not sure if I like it, feels a little boring. Might be better in color.

>>4776039
very great whale, just be more eccentric with the water breaking

>>4776039
whale doesn't really feel big enough. feels like it should be a little wider maybe.
love the texture either way

>>4775417

AHHHH HOLY SHIT I JUST WANT TO GET PAST THIS PLATEAU AND THEN I'LL BE HAPPY KNOWING THERE'S ANOTHER PLATEAU TO BEAT

just made this mess in paint + mouse

>>4776198
p.good

>>4776202
Thanks.
can't fucking wait to get a tablet.

what should I improve on?

>>4776231
hands look like mittens
eyes too far apart
left tit too wid
neck too thin and head too small and suffers from anime head on actual human proportions syndrome

>>4776231
hands

>>4774601
it is, faggot

I feel like my circles are getting worse, more spirals than circles, I fucking hate myself for failing
>>4775714
How? What's your secret?
>>4776009
Your lines, they are more expressive than mine

>>4776344
>How? What's your secret?
all my drawings are alot worse than they actually are but you can't tell because i hide all the mistakes with more lines so it looks more "detailed" when in fact i don't know what i'm doing.
don't do what i do it's not healthy for progress lol.

You're not my eater
I'm not your food
Love you for God

>>4776352
So you won't tell me then? So be it, I would do the same, no hard feelings, I understand even then I mustn't shy away and give compliments where it's due, the one on the top left is remarkably done, or so I would say, I like it, as others would say.

>>4775712
check out brian knox's instagram really good simplifications of the legs

>>4776366
Thanks for the compliments but i literally told you about the only "unique" thing i do. everything else i learned by doing what everyone else, started with some loomis, then analyzed artists i like that are better than me and that inspire me, like Daisuke Satake and kazuma kaneko

>>4776376
*what everyone else does

>>4776352
Do you think I'm some fucking idiot you can try to fool you uppity fucking bitch and cunt? No, you are mistaken, I AM THE PULSE DEMON AND MANY MORE, I'm above insulting your drawing, a quality you stupid beings could try to adapt into your beings, but I have no needs for your SECRETS OR EXPERIENCES FOR YOU HAVE GIVEN ME SOMETHING EVEN BETTER
an actual tangible experience, another one, a look into the individuality that plagues our lives, one day perhaps, we will all become one, leave the individual behind and then all shall experience the same

>>4776376
My apologies, I might have sensed hostility where there was none, or so one would hope, very well then, understood.

>>4776390
no problemo; happy drawing, we're all gonna make it

>>4773887
So you mean to mock me, tell me that I'm too old for it?

I always say people say shit like you cant just grind, you gotta do fun stuff too.

How the hell can you have fun when what you make looks like shit.

These are two minute figures,I kept running out of time to early on most of them.
Is there a trick to save time?

>>4773322
Finally got time to sit down with this.

Advice on how to face?

I also want to push myself to ink something because I know I will have to work on that eventually and might as well practice now. Any good resources on what to use and where to start?

I hate hands.

>>4773351
Thanks man. I looked at this for a while wondering why it looked so god damn uncomfortable and what I could do to fix it.

>>4776531
The face/head/hair I want to try and replicate for what it's worth.

>>4776231
I want to kiss her tummy

>>4776027

not sure what you mean, but I think that you just need to show how they connect, and either make the shape more anatomical or more mechanical looking, because this in between is not good.

>>4775980
and how big the tablet is?

>>4776026
>mouse redline > no redline

change my mind

>>4776184

leave your comfort zone!

>>4776443
>How the hell can you have fun when what you make looks like shit.

it your mindset, you can change it, you are the one setting your goals.

it is like how some people can have fun even when they are losing while others can only have fun if they are wining.

>>4776531
nice ass

>>4773054
I wouldn't mind some criticism.

>>4775340
i did and now i'm back for a bit

>>4777316
Your line weight is too even on the plague doctor drawing. It makes everything look flat. If you make the lines thinner for farther objects and thicker for closer objects, you would have a bit of perspective.

>>4777418
Did I fix him?

>>4777418
I fixed the ground and sky too.

>>4777529
>>4777555
What are you trying to do? It's completely flat, in a way that looks deliberate.

Anyone have any resources that show how to do that semi-realistic anime rendering you see in a lot of hentai pictures?

>>4777807
how's this?

>>4777777

ah yes, because the dirt ground reflects so much light that it's glowing

Judge.

>>4777529
Line weight still the same.
Also looks like Spiderman.
What are you trying to do?

It's of St. Agatha of Sicily, I'm particularly happy with it.

>>4778376
*Not happy

>>4778376
its all good in the body and shit, absolute A tier rendering, then we get to the neck/head area and just...

but hey, atleast you didint create a cursed image like a lot of other renders posted on /beg/

>>4778376

>>4773279
You draw like you wear suspenders casually.

>>4778376
done in MSPaint lol

>>4778376
Whatever system you're using for the skin, it's working. It looks nice and moisturized. You got the refraction down. The hand is a little long in the palm and short in the fingers. The face, as others have commented, stands out as the worst part. But the skin quality is great.
