/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

first

is there anything wrong with this drawing?

>>4876491
G A Y

nah but its pretty fine. I dont see anything inherintly wrong with it and honestly would call this int level.

>>4876491
Clean up the brush strokes. Looks like a sketch, whatever the painting equivalent of a sketch is.

Does someone have videos o twitch channels of background artists (interiors if possible) ?. I'm trying to learn to make isometric backgrounds in 'anime style' but they all come out like a random frame of some minimalistic game like the witness or untitled goose game. I'm looking frames of some anime movies but can't grasp how to achieve the lighting (or whatever is wrong).

>>4876510
Forgot pic cause retarded.

>>4876512
good, sad that this is the gold standard for /ic/

>>4876476

>>4876491
if they're in zero gravity his dick would just be floating not hanging down right? Needs more floating penis.

>>4876520
I'm trying to re-create backgrounds from anime movie frames in photoshop as practice, but they all come out like a Disco Elysium artwork but drawn by someone retarded with a pack of crayons, that's why I'm asking for twitch channels or videos, I'd like to see the process. Help ;_;.

>>4876491
I really like this actually. The composition is strong and the contrasting/opposing colors bring a lot of energy. The only thing I'd question is why the one dude's head is red but it nevertheless adds some interesting contrast.

>>4876584
Their arms are too short.
I see you're taking boob advice from Reddit's favorite artist.

>just spent five hours drawing
>not happy with a single thing I drew

this sucks

>>4876704
Draw more

I don't know what to do, Keys and Fun with a pencil yet it feels empty, anon told me to go into Vilppu but I'm not sure I'm ready, got myself some gesture vids but I dont know, I dont know

>>4876824
Anything to do with simple drawings. The most obvious thing is your wobbly, uncertain lines. Loomis starts with simple cartoon heads for a reason

>>4876835
True that, I'm doing drawabox, well, some of it

>>4876836
Don't unless you want to end like the r/artfundamentals subplebbit, Do Dynamic sketching instead after all DAB is the lite version of it.

>>4876853
sp-spacedad..?

>>4876853
looks clean and excellent

>>4876849
Got it, thanks
anything else? keys+fun+dynamic+eviston

>>4876853
idk who that be

I'm already struggling on the first exercise where you draw the Picasso piece upside down. I end up making things way too big even if I start off in the upper right corner with everything small and I can't fit the piece on paper. Is there anything I should focus on to make sure I don't make things disproportionate?

>>4876878
Keep practicing and you'll figure it out.

>Is there anything I should focus on to make sure I don't make things disproportionate

you n me both, brotha.
I hear tell of people measuring by bringing the pen close to their eyes

>>4876849
None of you were gonna tell me this until after i completed 250 boxes? Wow. This hurts, anons.

>>4876878
You need to understand the goal of the exercise. The goal isn't to get it exactly right. The goal is to understand the difference that happens when you draw what you see vs. mapping symbols (i.e. you see an actual eye, so you just paste in a beginner style eye symbol rather than engaging with the actual visible shape of the feature).

Once you understand the difference between drawing what you see and drawing symbols, you can move on to the other exercises.

>>4876908
250 boxes has got to be like 3-4 days worth of practice, right? Just knock it out and move on, digging into a study material just to bail once it gets boring is a bad habit.

This is what I've been getting at this entire time. How garbage is it?

>>4876873
What are these short for?

>>4877126
Needs more rending (shading to make it look 3D). It's basically just outlines now.

Behold! I am become mangaka!

>>4876592
You posted this exact reply to me in the previous thread >>4876144
What does that even mean?

>>4877126
Difficult to tell what's going on, the chick having skin deep clothes is kind of wack

>>4876523
nice :^)

>>4877199
That’s focking disgusting

>>4876487
The coloring is unironically not that bad, at least for a beginner.

Someone gave me this image in the last thread and it was really helpful, but I'm still unsure about things. When I draw the ball in the box, is the goal to make all the furthest out ends of the ball touch the center of the planes?

>>4877293
Make the ball touch the x on every side not the corners

>>4877298
Like this?

First attemp with procreate

>>4877308
Yes

Is this any good for a beginner?

>>4876704
each drawing is one drawing closer to mastery.

>>4877332
Imagine life through his eyes... my god

>>4877340
Wym

>>4877332
- nice line weights
- the perspective of the eyes doesn't match that of the nose+mouth, making his face look warped
- the ear is fat and twisted
- try to be more subtle with the mouth lines, unless you're going for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure style

I felt like the forehead was really big so I tried shrinking it. Is this still correct or have I ruined it? Also my perspective is still off but us that a really big deal or should it be fine?

>>4877349
Forgot image

>>4877126
it is not great, but I saw worse in professional manga.

>>4877332
the face is not that flat, there are many planes in the face, but it's a good start I think.

>>4877332
>"Oh hey that isn't terri-"
>Spot the ear

>>4877332
eyes are CIRCULAR not FLAT

the mouth is CIRCULAR not FLAT

>>4877232
who the fuck are you calling a beginner punk

I have finished it, who wants to buy it 30$

>>4877332
if by "beginner" you mean that this is literally the first drawing you've ever done (doubt) then yes this is incredible

>>4876523
make it into a dog

this is supposed to be a low angle, but i know something is off, its just that my BEG eye can't fucking see it, please enlighten me

Some of my vehicules sketches from this week.

>>4877487
*One of
sorry

>>4877476
legs and denim skirt are at a center angle, not low, and the abdomen is a bit disfigured and too twisted compared to the chest and legs, thighs might be too long as well

low angle poses are stupid hard to look right, but if you really want at it, make a box to encapsulate it the angle and rotation, and then start constructing its shapes, either with boxes too or whatever feels helps you the best

>>4876592
That guy draws better tits than the redditor in your pic imo.

>>4876873
Just do keys + dynamic and eviston for now, Once your eye gets better you can go for more advanced material.

Why does it look so flat?

>>4877332
You are using different perspectives for the upper face and lower face. Draw a line connecting the bottom of the eyelids and then do the same for the corners of the mouth and nostrils. Try to align these in the next drawing.

>>4877570
Because you aren't communicating the thickness in the eyelid properly, you just got 2 parallel lines running along when you know that this is not how it actually behaves on a ball.

>>4877476
Take a look at the "hyper angle" reference books.

>>4876788
thx anon.

>>4877126
Looks amazing to me but I'm /beg/ incarnate so take it with a grain of salt.

I've been trying to draw some decent looking humans but I get blob after blob so I guess I'll follow the sticky and git gud

>>4877552
>>4877578
thanks alot man

>>4877147
>>4877209
>>4877354
>>4877600
Thanks for the pretty diverse input, guys.

>>4877126
I'm subject to say this ain't /beg, but I gotta see the finished product. So far, so good, tho.

>>4877126
Yeah. Don't bother with /beg/ anymore. You're beyond this so you won't get much help here.

>>4877126
Why the fuck is the chick in skin tight clothes, but the guy's in regular clothes? That's fuckin lame.

>>4877126
the awkward gesturing is what keeps it as /beg/ and not quite /int/, to an untrained eye it looks great, mostly i think because the woman looks well drawn and the lines are all clean and you vary line weight well, but the boy with the co op logo on his chest and especially the alien thing at the bottom just look wonky

>>4876539
dont those take many hours to make and usually involve painting over photographs and using 3DCG software to get the perspective right?

>>4876476
i.... remember it....... so you.... dont have toooooo

>>4877691
why not?
why is that lame? I like it

Is this good reference?

>>4877675
>>4877681
>>4877699
Appreciate the insight, everyone.

Also the girl is dressed like she is because she's an aspiring super hero. And fret not, because the villain at the bottom, who is a guy is totally naked.

What's a good site or software where I can fuck around with 3D models? I wanted to find the poses myself because I already cheated using my own room to get the perspective on the bed, but I can't find a reference anywhere close to what I need and I don't have anywhere to put my camera so I can just create the poses myself

>>4877869
Just fucking learn perspective
>3D models
aka Stiff gesture

>>4877869
design doll's free mode is decent, you can't save poses to edit later without paying, but that's not the biggest deal.

>>4877317
This stuff bro

>>4876476
something doesnt feel right about it.. should i finish it?

>>4877916
the face lacks structure, the hands are too small, the feet shouldn't go so slim in the middle

>>4877916
somebody took a bite out of the right ass cheek
pagan symbols are carved into her feet
and rupees have been grafted onto the ends of her arms

>>4877916
no, grind loomis then comeback to this drawing

Kinda proud of this for no ref but at the same time something about the body feels wrong. Also I suck at lips at odd perspectives. Any pointers?

Hey /beg/, how are you all doing today!

I am trying to learn how to draw, but everything I do looks very messy and grey. Any advice? I've been using standard school pencils to draw, so I would like some recommendations on some nice pencils for me on amazon to buy that I could sketch with.
Thanks!

saw anons talking about Copics last thread, how similar are they to brush pens for those who have used both? the results look similar, are they easier to control? More expensive art supplies will definitely fix my terrible shit

Does Loomis go over how to attach the head/neck to the torso in his head book?
I'm having a lot of trouble with that.

>>4876476
>think my drawing is going well
>look at the reference
>realize I made the mid section too long
>want to kms immediately
FUCK drawing figures from retarded angles
shit makes me so mad

>>4878082
>More expensive art supplies will definitely fix my terrible shit
I hope you're joking, because that's absolutely false

>>4876476
About to do the 250 challenge over a few weeks, but im not sure what things I should be looking out for to fix so that I improve over my time doing them

>>4878076
Draw in pen so the liners are finer and you cant erase your mistakes so you are forced to confront them, preferable a drawing pen

>>4878101
I do both! I draw with a pencil first to sketch out an idea and then a pen for the finer details. I need a nicer pencil for my sketches.
Thanks for trying to help though!

>>4877800
as good as any, but it's gonna be a pain in the ass to draw every one of those highlights

>>4878102
Ok in that case I recommend Derwent Graphic 6B-4H Medium Graphite Pencils for drawing, they are the ones I currently use. I do mostly digital though so if you are focusing on paper you might want different kings of pencils but I find those do good for what I use a pencil for when drawing

>>4878119
Thank you! Those are what I was looking for. They look like excellent sketching pencils. I added them to my amazon cart. Thanks!

>>4878110
that's what brushes are for.

>>4876523

What can I do better? I know it's dogshit but I don't know what I'm doing.

How do you bend your arm like the pic in the upper right?

just started doing shit digitally instead of on paper, why is everything so pixely? how do i fix it?

>>4878193
yes just copy/paste the broccoli image, lasso tool all around it and make it into a brush that's how you become good at drawing

>>4878246
shot put pose

>>4878247
Maybe do not zoom on 1000 % next time.

should you take eart's curvature into consideration when doing large landscapes?

>>4878247
put your face real close to your monitor
see what happens

>>4878085

>>4878253
Bottom right is shot put pose. The thumb is backwards on the top right.

>>4878263
what book?

>>4878258
If you’re painting a plein air on a mountain or you’re depicting a nautical battle with sails peaking over the horizon or something I guess you could, but honestly I cannot imagine a situation where I would ever bother with that.

>>4877461
$30? You should be asking for $100 at least.

>>4878085

>>4878262
>>4878256
even if i dont zoom in its still noticeable, i just zoomed in to make it more obvious incase there wore multiple possible issues

>>4878274
Jack Hamm

>>4878283
up your canvas size or up your resolution or do both

>>4877350
I don't think you get why we use the box in the first place, the faces you've drawn don't align with the box. The whole point is that the features of the face are parallel to the sides

>>4878287
how big should i make them? im totally braindead when it comes to this right now, sorry

>>4878102
Just use any red pencil for the sketch and then go over it in blue pencil for line emphasis and shadows. And stop pressing so hard, no one likes hamfists

>>4878294
I dunno nigga
take the resolution of your screen and double it, it's still going to get pixelated if you zoom in a bunch that's just how it is

>>4878277
Sarcasm is the highest form of ridicule :'^(

I have no idea what to draw, even for practice, help?

>>4878246

Can you recommend me a good brand of blank loose leaf paper for sketching? Price doesn't matter to me as much as not destroying the page when I erase a little line here or there.

quick 3 minute sketch

With each month that goes by I become more and more convinced that short gestures of less than 2 minutes are absolutely worthless and everyone who pushes for them is a retard or a troll. 10 or 15 second gestures are the worst. That's not even enough time to look at the model.

>>4878421
post your gestures and life drawings

>>4878418
it looks like beg trash. spend more than 3 minutes on a sketch. you get no extra points for speed so take your time and do your best before you upload or else don't bother because we're going to judge it as though you did.

I hate being mid beg level so much. I can draw art that looks halfway decent but it takes me 10 hours

An int can sketch something in 20 minutes what would take me 5 hours

My drawing process has a fucking retarded workflow. I am constantly drawing and redrawing, ctrl z and transforming tool every line i draw. I finish colorless sketches with 500 plus layers to them
Its so fucked

>>4878431
>it looks like beg trash
well thats exactly what it is anon, i only went fast today because i wasnt feeling it and theres no way im breaking my streak

>>4878427
So that you can shit on them or so that you can be helpful?

>>4878432
It will get better.

>>4878439
i dunno yet

>>4878435
it doesnt count. you broke your streak.

>>4878473
>it doesnt count.
well it does because the face is right there

is the figure marked with a red x readable? can you tell what pose she's supposed to be in?
or am i dunning kreuginer-ing or whatever.

>>4878490
It's readable but the tangent on the far leg is unflattering. You should alter the far leg position.

>>4878445
Post yours first.

>>4878497
i only draw heads

>>4878421
I think they kinda help with the first 1/4 of drawing a figure because it is the hardest section of drawing-- you're drawing on a blank page. Gestures are a foundation you build upon for the following steps so you have to get it real solid.
I do think they put too much emphasis on time than getting a gesture pose right though and there's more a chance that it will build bad habits. I think it's better to get those gestures right no matter how slow you are because you're going to get faster in the long term anyway.

>>4878528
those are some spooky ribcages

>>4878444
I am left with a dilemma. I want to make appealing art. I /can/ make appealing art. But. It. Takes. So. Long.

The dilemma: I have spent 30 minutes drawing out a few fast and loose sketches and picked one I like. Now what? Do I keep sketching in the hopes I can train myself to create a sketch of the same level in 20 minutes? 10 minutes? Or do I take the drawing to completion or near completion and produce a (semi) polished product. Which requires 5-10 hours of drawing on top of my sketch, redrawing on top of that drawing, going to sleep and waking up and realizing I totally fucked up the perspective and anatomy and restarting from scratch... All in the hopes to optimize my "polishing" phase from 5-10 hours down to 2-3?

This is what I can't figure out and I also can't figure out if other artists have this problem. Sometimes I get told I'm insane for spending so much time on a noncolored drawing and other times people tell me it's normal

>>4878532
Same for everything else in life, you get faster at doing complex processes the more you do them.

>>4878224
i cleaned it up a bit but still very incomplete.

>>4878531
they're pretty flat. i'm not sure how to add depth to the ribcage in front view. got any good skeleton ref?

>>4878534
Okay but which complex task do I prioritize my optimization process? Do I sketch, move on, sketch, move on... Or do I sketch, complete, move on, sketch, complete, move on...

I did something either very good or very dumb and enrolled in a certificate program at the local art school.

Now I have to get my chops back into shape so I'm not fucked. Started today with a little doodling while I rearranged my studio.

i've started drawing box people, bully pls

>>4878611
Awesome.

>>4876538
You're right! I should totally do that. Thank you. :)

>>4877703
I've seen some anime backgrounds drawn on top of real life pictures but, it should be possible to do it just from imagination. Besides that, it would be hard to find a real life picture of the kind of room I want to make and with the correct reflections, mainly because I want to 'draw' a room lit both by natural and artificial sources and isometric. In regard to perspective, I'm using a base-model I made in blender, but the lighting ... it looks good, but not 'anime-style' which is what I want to achieve. I'll just finish the room without caring how the lighting looks and then see how it looks with 'anime' characters in it, I'll see.

>>4878611
You need to keep your proportions in check more theyre inconsistent. Watch the distance from ribs to hips especially.

Did this about a week ago
Not an artist really, first time here, just wanted you guys to check it out. I think it turned out pretty good but all my knowledge about drawing begins and ends with a Kim Gung Ji video I watched some time before drawing this so I don't know

>>4878537

>>4878673
i think he was saying that all the people who are having fun are gmi, all the people who are not enjoying themselves will not, notice how he marked a picture of broccoli as "ngmi" (supposedly implying "gmi"), what does that tell you?

>>4878709
you might be looking too far into this.

>>4878709
that the broccoli dude is doing life drawing and that is something that all pros tell you to do to improve

>>4878639

>>4878673
Oh i see, thx, my autism hit again.

>>4878728
i suppose we will never know

>>4878734
it's not life drawing if it's a photograph bucko

I don't understand the loomis books. Am I just suppose to draw whatever he draws on my paper? I feel like I'm just copying him for no reason

I like my sketches even they're still pencil but even I try to ink them they look so stiff and shitty.

>>4878800
Copying masters is the most traditional way to practice. So yes.

>>4878822
That's a common problem even for pros. Rough pencil sketches just tend to have more energy.

I have been drawing on paper. Im trying to transition to digital and not only my lines are overall worse. I don't even know what brush to use to sketch. All my sketching lines look terrible when I'm drawing too far and if I zoom in I lose the big picture.

>>4878865
Yeah. this happens to everyone when they switch to digital, you just gotta keep using it and trying different things out to see what sticks and it will eventually all work out

>>4878865
Digital is harder to control lines than trad. That's just how it is. Use a hard round brush with size pressure on, 100% opacity. Remember that you can paint shapes instead of drawing outlines.

I might give up on this one because the arms are messing with me so bad. I've erased them four times already.

>>4878873
Where can I find all that you are mentioning on CSP?

anatomy is finally starting to make a bit of sense

>>4878822
studying gesture is tough especially if you're trained to think in terms of boxes, it goes against that entirely and tells you to "just kinda feel it out"

I would like to make funny animations of lets plays for youtube (nothing serious)

Which program do you recommend, and where can I get it for free

>>4878908
steal a flipbook

I believe you're supposed to use his method to draw your own figures, from reference or from imagination. I like Huston or Vilppu better, though.

>>4878896
what book did you use?

Are there any surging examples of the early works of the old masters, back when they were still learning? I want to see what the renaissance version of the /beg/ Loomis heads were

>>4879057
It seems most of the ones that survived came through a lengthy lineage of the wealthy who could afford to preserve them (and had reason to do so) and they probably weren't in the business of buying academic sketches or anything. It's too bad because I'm sure DaVinci sucked at first just like all of us.

>>4879104
Are you actually 14 or something?

>>4879171
No I read a manga that made me think of stuff from when I was younger and sketched it out. This doesn't explain it that good but basically I was really lonely in highschool and didnt have any friends so I was alone during lunch in the library. One kid told me to hang out with them and then he I overheard him bragging about how I was a looser and now I'm having fun multiple times and felt like he was just using me being lonely as a way to be seen as a good guy. I also hate being looked down on or pitied

>>4879153
That’s pretty much what I expected, thanks though. It’s a shame, I think seeing where the greats started off would humanise them a lot more. I’m also just fantastically curious of the mistakes amateurs would have made so long ago. Oh well.

>>4879185
okay so yeah you are 14

>>4879163
gmi

tell me why my art is still bad

I tried to make the model less bloated this time, is it any better?

How horrible is this so far? Is it worth moving forward?

>>4879264
it looks like you are scared to draw the skin wrinkling over the bones, or just ignored the perspective overall.

>>4878263
>>4878281
Ahh thanks. I have a bunch of Jack's books, I just haven't gotten to them yet.

>>4879253
if it makes you feel better it's less bad. You need to work on human anatomy and perspective some more, but your lines are more confident and stylized so that's a plus.

>>4879264
definitely better but the perspective needs work.

>>4879253
you keep failing on the proportions, for example of shoulders and head
maybe using some construction before the drawing may help you improve

>>4879275
Yes, move on.

always finish your drawings

I picked up Drawing with the Right side of the Brain today, and I've gotten up to chapter 2 where she starts going on about kneaded erasers, viewfinders, mirrors, drawing boards, etc.
Now I live in the middle of nowhere and have no real way to access most, or any art supplies, especially in the current state of affairs. Can I continue with the exercises in the book, or should I pick up the other one?

anons am I disabled? are you supposed to sketch it out first, or just go with it? I don't know how I managed to completely fuck up the left side, jesus christ
:(

>>4879787
no you're beg. now continue your lessons.

>>4879796
okay, thank you.

>>4879787
It looks fine. The purpose of the exercise isn't to make something that looks beautiful, it's too dissociate yourself from the object and to think more about how the lines should interact it. It's really helpful for getting rid of symbol drawing

>>4878908
use Krita, a free digital painting and animation program : https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/animation.html

Are there any jointed doll programs online that I can use? Or do I just got a purchase one off amazon

>>4878830
thic nec

>>4879863
Those dolls are worthless.

>>4879913
Loomis says I need one in his book

>>4878986
Cool.

How do I use the Drawing on the Right side exercises?
Do I just go through them all and try repeating them daily, or what?

some quick sketches
what am i fucking up most atm?

>>4879945
tough call, since everything here sucks.

Maybe start off with practicing how to draw more confident lines, instead of chicken scratching.

>>4879952
His lines are not chicken scratch, dumb beg crab.

>>4879945
Work on proportions

>>4879952
>chicken scratching.
? i dont think you know what this means

How do you draw with a thin pen but avoid making everything look pixelated? Like seriously what's the secret

>>4879954
I will, thanks
I can see top right has tiny lower legs and bottom left has a too large torso already

>>4879952
I know my lines are messy, but they've gotten better since I started
I'm building line confidence as I go, I'm also using a tiny tablet which doesn't help too much but I'll be more mindful of it

What should I try to study alongside Drawabox? I followed Michael Hampton's analytical figure drawing vids for a while, but I started wondering if I should try to learn color and lighting first. Is it foolish to skip to figure drawing before even touching those subjects? And if I should, what order should I do them in?

>>4879975
You could use smoothing in the art program itself, if you feel like the size of your tablet makes it hard to draw straight.

>>4879989
I've tried a few different settings, it's just hard to get them right and I don't want to keep changing them

I'm not gonna put too much blame on the tablet anyway, it's just something I need to work on

i fell for the doll meme
don't repeat my mistake. idea of a doll seems nice but once you try to play with it it turns out that many of poses you would want them to do are impossible.
they lack balance and fall or simply joints have very limited movement

thoughts, opinions, feedback?

He right arm is a bit too long, I think. If she stood up straight it would extend well below her hips. Left is more or less okay I think. Maybe you can look up some photos of left handed shooters for reference.

>>4880120
you should try darker values

>>4880143
they scare me :(

>>4880120
I wish I practiced as much as you man. jesus you've come far

>>4880172
thanks man but desu i do like 5-30 mins a day and thats it, occasionally i will watch a villpu if im feeling extra spicy, the main thing is just doing it every day and it adds up

How do I make this look less cringe? I'm having trouble controlling my values and getting the right transition.

>>4880265
Work on drawing first before rendering. Your ball is wider than it is tall and your cylinder looks flat, look for how to draw cylinders in perspective. Your shadow shape is horizontal but the ref has a slight downward tilt in the opposite direction of the light source.

As for your rendering, it looks like you are using a mixture of a round brush + a shape selection tool + the smudge tool, so there's some clashing of styles going on. Try using just the brush for a start.

could anyone please redline the pelvis? I seriously have no idea how much it's tilted in this pose

Behold, anatomy man. Wonky perspective but I was mostly focusing on drawing the muscles

>>4880418
now try do it in a different position anon

>>4880418
gave this a quick look and right off the bat your sartorius stands out to me, it doesn't seem like you know the actual spot on the pelvis that it connects to. Same goes for the abductors, chest and shoulders muscles in regards to their connection to the collar bone.

I am going through Framed perspective and Hampton course.

It's my first scenes 100% from imagination. Is it salvagable? can I fix some stuff before commiting to it?

>>4879769
You can do without that. The point is to imagine what you see as it would appear on the format of the paper you're using. Try making a rectangle with your fingers.
The only benefits would be the crosshairs would tell you what's exactly in the middle, making it a bit easier. But I did the exercises without it because fuck that shit.

>>4880457
You would be absolutely right my friend
>>4880435
Working on it later actually

How can i make my drawing's gestures more appealing? Are there any pointers i need to know to improve my poses?

>>4880493
Why aren't you using reference tho?

going to start drapery now, I’m sick of seeing skin

>>4880524
I am using reference for figure drawing sessions, I want to exercise my ability of drawing from imagination. I will still probably use reference for anatomy and texture but you know I am still kind of garbage at depicting forms in a scene.

>>4878528

>>4880529
also, here’s the first pass since I just noticed I didn’t merge it

>>4880579
Nice.

Is there anything wrong with this basic construction? Boobs too low? Arms too short? I'm planning on rendering over it later tonight so an suggested modifications would be welcome

>>4880592
you call it construction, but...

Here is my homan I am still figuring out a lot but if you could let me know what you feel I should work on next. I would really appreciate it

>>4880610
post your own work, faggot

>>4880614
Uhhh it is but thanks <3

>>4880557
anatomically off but i like your technique. it looks like a medical text book from 200 years ago.

>>4880265
as the other anon said, your drawing is off. the perspective is wrong. you need to fix the elipses on the top and bottom faces of the cylinder. but your sphere is also squished to be wider than it is tall. so thats both shapes that are off. when it comes to values, look at the thumbnail. the table on your sketch is not as bright as the reference. thats the most obvious, but you also got a bit too dark in the top right of the ball, you didn't draw the reflections of the windows, and you're using the wrong tools. youre not acheiving the gradient the way you should. you gotta just practice with the spray tool or idk what program youre using but you gotta figure out the right tools and brushes to use.

Day 1 of actually trying to learn to draw figures instead of copying anime
only had time for 4 before work

give me attention

>>4880652
Mid section on the left figure is way too long, remember the distance between the bottom of the ribcage and the top of the pelvis is pretty much one fist apart/or the same distance as a facial third.

>>4880712
>tiny hands
We both know where this belongs.

>>4880418
Crysis 4 is looking weird man

>>4880712
Why use construction / loomis heads if you're going to blatantly ignore the positioning? To seem like you know what you're doing?

I need to work more on perspective.

Being able to draw boxes is one thing but I’m struggling to apply it to figures. I’m having a lot of difficulty determining which planes of the major forms are visible. Can anyone help me with this please?

>>4879963
big canvas

I would like to ink this, but is it even any good? I don't want to waste my time.

>>4880815
Oh wait

How to i apply perspective to a human figure? I tried to use two point here simplifying the chest into a cube

>>4880833
Here's the ref I used

>>4880833
>>4880834
I suggest you draw contour lines of fruits and flowers from life or digital. Start with simple fruits and organic shapes before attempting to draw humans.

>>4880855
Alright thanks.

Here's a recent comic page I threw together. Any suggestions?

anons i keep trying to draw what i see, but i find myself only drawing it line by line nonstop and finding myself to ignore the shapes and construction- just getting the accuracy of the line. what do i do?
