I think i know that girl and, i think is cute anon.

Help bros. Im learning perspective and theres one thing i dont get. How do you convey the exact position of an object? In this pic for example, the small cube could be sitting at the center of the big cube, but it could also be floating above the cube and aligned on the front side. You get what i mean? Maybe its just my impression? I just did this after watching a 10 min video.

>>4893873

>>4893873
Maybe im just a moron, i think if it was floating the two lines would touch, so in this case it has to be at the center

use other depth queues like overlap and atmospheric perspective to help people figure out what the lines mean.
also in that same vein you have to work to avoid tangent lines where it's ambiguous what's connecting where.

For the begginers

Plugged in my drawing tablet and did a sketch. First time in months. Wasn't planning anything and some smut came out. Those hands need help but overall I'm kinda happy that I just drew something like this out of the blue.

>>4894098
not

I drew this in class just off my imagination. Would a kind anon tell me what they think?

>>4894133
I drew this one as well. I know my professor saw me. She probably thinks im a pervert

>>4893759
Pick out some texture (there's a link to pinterest in the homework) and draw texture going from densly packed to loose and sparse like a gradient. Pic related for a better idea.

perspective or you'll never feel the form

>>4894173
how do you feel form with boxes

>>4894181
you draw them in more than 1 point perspective, cylinders are the easiest way to draw form, boxes are hard but they are the best way to show direction

>>4894584
and i resized this in photoshop but uploaded the unresized one...-_-, sorry!

>>4894574
No. You don't copy it, you reference it. You try to understand why the forms are the way they are, why the hand deforms the way it does, etc.
There has to be some sort of a mental process involved, be that subconscious or not.

>>4893886
what happened in the car crash?

Ahhhhhh kill me

>>4894565
More dynamic line weights as well as more clearly defined lines would be a good start.

>>4894753
well its a lot better than first one, if you want actual help you might need to post the reference

>>4894761
Rendering is definitely your biggest weakness atm, you should do some focused stufy on it. Rendering has some really fast gains if you do studies compared to most other aspects of drawing.

Also when's the next chapter of Liz you nigger

How much did he pay you?
>>4894771
How long have you been drawing? Looks very nice

>>4894778
One decade

>>4894780
Explains the nice sketches. You should really do some rendering studies when you find the time, you will almost immediatly have the colored pics be twice as good with barely any study I promise.

>>4894780
One decade of slave work?

Honestly if you were just drawing for fun though and really didn't focus on studies you're better than 99% of /ic/

its time to look at your best work and completely dissect whats wrong with it and make a list of fundamental issues you need to fix.
It'll suck balls but I guarantee if you learn your bad habits and mistakes you'll grow from it.

>>4894143
Why does she have a white anime face and then a kinda realistic black woman body? Looks like a monkey wearing a mask, bro

>>4894804
I started out drawing with /ic/ as a pure fundie grinder and that kinda left me scarred. I feel intense loathing at the thought of grinding anything again, I only do specific study now and then after being interested in how to do XYZ. The last few years I have been trying to learn to draw for fun with no pressure and I'm still not even there yet, there is a little crab in my head shitting on almost everything I make.

What about now

>>4894883
no, just do it on print paper bro

>>4894918
what if I use a brown background and a hard round brush on a tablet?

>>4894922
you can't learn fundies in digital, that's not how drawing works

>>4894923
>you can't learn fundies in digital
why not

>>4894925
it's different, you can't feel anything

>>4894923
What if I do both

>>4894928
i guess you can do that

>>4894926
you have to feel to understand perspective?

Hey guys,

I'm doing some construction practice. Focusing on torso and hips.

What do you guys think about this so far? Do the torsos feel too long?

If anyone wants to redline, I would appreciate it a lot.

>>4894484
what do you mean without drawing?

>>4894941
There's literally no construction

>>4894941
construction practice
no construction whatsoever
how the fuck you want someone to critique it

Kubrick outline. Should I bother with this?

>>4894941
well that first one is bad

>>4894948
do loomis heads

You can't draw in digital its impossible

Vilppu figure studies. The first two are 5 minutes, the other three are 10.

>>4894954
Did a semi loomis to make it, I don’t know how to do loomis heads from that angle tho very wel

Update.

Is lineart of clothes and abdominal muscles good?

>>4894948
Kubric would be dissapointed in you.

>>4894941
>>4894946
>>4894947
>>4894949

yeah, sorry should have kept the lines in.

>>4894966
no

>>4894964

>>4894967
I’ll try with a loomis head now and see if it’s improved. It looks like kubrick tho. I know the likeness is there it’s just imperfect. No way I’m getting it perfect at my skill level either

Do you have something more constructive to say?

>>4894978
stop making /beg/s believe trad is how you learn fundies, it's not

>>4894975
>>4894981

I'm doing a mix of Loomis (fun with pencil), and some youtube guides (mikeymegamega)

>>4894978
its a boomer who doesn't understand technology wow

i get the point hes trying to make, "its hard to learn fundies if the program is overwhelming you and you have to learn that at the same time"

but that is a whole nother argument, if you have a standard pen in photoshop on a blank white canvas its exactly them same, yeah duh it will be hard if you start fucking around with different brushes and trying to learn all the shortcuts etc

and even then this is just one guy, there will be loads who say the opposite, at the end of the say just do what works for you and what you find most comfortable

>>4894982
you shouldn't ink if you don't know how to sketch properly

>>4894988
What do you mean by sketch properly?

>>4894990
in your case, construction, anatomy, drapery

>>4894966
Not the same guy

I haven't seen the underlying image, but from what I can see here, the pose already looks very stiff.

Your style of line art is unappealing. Perhaps try drawing thicker lines, with bigger line weight variation.

Please post image with sketch too.

>>4894948
>>4894954
kubrick made with loomis

>>4894996
>>4894995
It's 100% from imagination. I've posted this drawing here like three times before. First I posted gestural sketch with a bit of basic construction for major masses. Then I posted anatomy and gun construction. And then pic related with clothes. My posts were mostly ignored. The only advice I get was that the hand and arm looks flat, I fixed it in my newest reedition.

>>4895002
now redraw it 5 more times, you can bet the fifth will be better than the first one, if not then you lack the necessary fundies to know where to place your lines

>>4895014
avoid clothes until you have your anatomy at an acceptable level

How long until my arm stops hurting when I draw?

>>4895020
t. noodle arm
/fit/ is that way

>>4893799
>>4893802
>>4893805
>>4893807
Do more snek.

>>4895002
>>4895016
Hes right. Draw it 5 times and fix your mistakes each time. It sucks but it will improve you.

>>4895016
You know I have an eraser right

>>4895014
Unless getting good at inking is your goal you shouldn't bother when the drawing is bad. The drawing is unsalvageable so you shouldn't have spent too much time on it.

>>4895022
Won't just drawing make it go from noodle arm to stronk arm?

>>4895031
in figure drawing you're supposed to draw without eraser and move on to the next pose for a reason

>>4895014
Personally I think you should finish it up. Don't spend too much time polishing this.

You are not at the level yet where you can draw solely from imagination. But keep practicing.

Every step causes the the pose to become more and more stiff. Try using a reference and doing a gesture drawing, and then construct over it.

>>4895036
or you could take one week to make your arm strong enough to keep it well suited for long sessions of drawing

>>4895047
What substantial muscle hypertrophy can happen over one week?

>>4895049
you don't need much for drawing

>>4894943
I mean how do you know where to put the colors? I found the process very confusing.

>>4894968
The space between the ribcage and the pelvis is rather large. While it can be elongated for stylistic purposes the real distance is really short. If you feel on your own ribcage you'll notice it's only like a couple of inches.

>>4895062
just draw like you normally do and then paint over? you can make the paint brush very small so youre just drawing like you normally would

>>4895099
But is that still painting at that point or just coloring a drawing? Does it matter? I might be autisming over nothing.

>>4895115
who gives a fuck? as long as the end result looks good, i wouldnt say its just colouring, youre just laying down a basic underlying drawing as a base work to build upon

>>4893723
>>4893723
i hate this fucking tablet. im about to throw it against a fucking wall. what good is all the perspective and anatomy in the world if every line is going to look like chicken scratch?

>>4895123
uh anon have you tried setting up pen pressure controls

>>4895123
>>4895143
lol

>>4895123
It's most likely not the tablet. Initially, digital sucks balls to get good lines. Takes time to adjust, especially if you came from traditional.

>>4894849
No, I'm too embarassed when people know I've drawn for years.

>>4895034
>>4895042

Fuck I was really proud of the perspective and the gun construction.

>>4895123
ngl pixelated constant thickness scribbles are soulful as hell I should try it someday

>>4895260
well youre never gmi then

>>4895266
you can still be proud of it anon if its better than previous pieces, just dont get caught up and focus on the next day, keep moving

when should one start inking without pencil sketch?
How do you know you are ready?

>>4895281
>well youre never gmi then
I post my work here, but usually only when people think I'm a legit beginner. I guess I can repost this as it can't be linked to me anywhere. Obviously not my best, but this shit sadly is not far off of that either when it comes to purely from imagination...

>>4895289
when people tell you to fuck off to /int/ because they don't know you have 0 knowledge in anything besides sketching

>>4895299
just do a course? im not sure what youve been doing for 7 years but if you did a villpu figure drawing course all the way through youd be better in a few months

>>4894922
Ignore >>4894923 He's retarded you can do fundies on whatever medium you want, But I'd advice to do it on both that way you balance out your hadn eye coordination and It saves you time on the long run.

I'm thinking of getting at perspective, Is the erik olson course good? I have a basic knowledge of perspective and my end goal is to draw people perspective without it looking like shit.

ok i fixed the son's face i think. how do i fix the daughter's?

>>4893915
I can tell this has been done by someone who can't draw but has put a lot of effort into it, it makes me sad. The shadows on the face are carefully done but the hair on the left is all over the place.

Is it normal to already struggle with following basic guides/measurements? Followed this guide for drawing something and it looked messed up..

>>4895534
It's not normal. Maybe you're mentally retarded

>>4895480
Any other advice?

Thoughts? Critique?

>>4895535
Thanks.

>>4895549

>>4895143
The pressure isn't the problem it's the fact that I'm not looking where the pen is. I've had this tablet for years, I probably got it around 2012. The reason is chicken scraping because the line is going where I want it to so I have to constantly pick up the pen and make these sketchy messy lines. I need one where you draw right on the screen. Fuck intuous.

which one is better?

>>4895592
neither, so do a third one

>>4895595
construction

>>4895595
this is not /asg/ do construction

>>4895597
use some better construction method, do loomis

>>4895605
Why don't you show him how to do the construction?

>>4895607
ok, wait until monday

Whenever I follow the Loomis method I get ayylmao/tiki mask heads, but whenever I screw up the construction and just wing it I get proper looking heads. What the fuck is going on here?

When do I get to draw cartoons

>>4895592
Third one looks like a failed caricature at least

>>4895532
Don’t be sad once I learn more fundamentals ill be good. I think I have pretty good innate talent I’m just not good with hair and other stuff.

>>4895626
I should note this is from following Proko's version of the Loomis method, maybe I should check out the books. It's like for example when he's drawing a front-facing view he's not even really using the starting circle, more like he's using a sort of square inside the circle. So why not start with a square, what's the point of the circle? For the front facing view at least. Additionally the jaws of my proper looking heads don't extend beyond the circle, which implies they're not 1/3rd in length yet unless I'm blind they actually are. Is the issue that I'm drawing too big starting circles and everything sort of gets distorted or what? I'm a total /beg/ I have zero clue.

>>4895626
Try Huston's. His method is a little bit more gestural.

>>4895595
>>4895607
this is how you begs do it

>>4895716
i'm a newfag beg are you guys just posting this guys tips as a joke?

>>4895721
yes

>>4895721
It's like he's doing it in opposite order?

Any advice on gettin hair? I’ve never been able to make smooth natural flowing hair. It’s always rough looking

Feedback for hair and how to improve linework

>>4895638
Whenever you want. Lmao just make time for fundamentals. A lot of people here come up with the idea you can’t do something until you reach a certain level.>>4894988 but even if you do something poorly it’s good experience, so long as you don’t forget to go back to fundamentals.

The guy I did this >>4895345 for hasn't paid yet and I'm nervous he'll decide it wasn't worth it and not pay :(

>>4895492
Perspective learn that, it can help with creating landscapes to create a feel of depth

>>4895638
Whenever you want

>>4895758
How much did you charge him?

>>4895847
$80 CAD, $20/hour for 4 hours of work.

Is this salvageable? I think I fugged up the archer's body and don't know if it can be fixed without erasing everything.

>>4895869
That’s a very steep price for something that minimalistic and simple. Why charge so much? The man just wants to get something nice for his family.

>>4895880
I got advice from elsewhere that I shouldn't sell myself short, and that $20/hour is reasonable for the work involved. I don't feel comfortable selling myself for below minimum wage.

Its stiff.

Honestly, im surprised by how much I improved since this beginning of june when I started taking drawing seriously

Arm length correct? Head to nipple length OK in this pose? Pelvic bump at right place?
Any other modifications I should make?

>>4895940
first thing you should do is get a darker color background as to not strain your eyes. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later

>>4895901
You’re working way above minimum wage. Not to mention you charge hourly and no set price for commissions. I personally wouldn’t charge over 50 for that.

Do you really think it’s a fair price? There’s nothing wwrong with charging 80 but the quality has to be there.

>>4895966
Its worth what the customer is willing to pay. The artist knows the guy's means better than we anons and the client presumably had an idea of the quality he could expect when he hired him.

>>4895966
yknow the customer can say no right...

>>4895966
Minimum wage is $15/hour in Canada

>>4895929
its good anon keep it up

>>4895929
And here's another figure I just finished. Too lazy to create shadows for it tho lol

>>4895985
Thanks!

>>4895716
I find it funny that this guy draws what he wants and blows up in popularity while idiots on /ic/ shill loomis, grind fundamentals, and still have less than 100 followers.

LMAO. Just draw what you want. Who cares about getting good anymore? With the current state of art, you could draw a line on paper and depending on your clout and fame; could sell it for millions.

This has got to be one of the most zoomer takes I've read.

>>4895996
imagine being happy with mediocre art just because normies like your mediocrity

>>4895996
if you don't apply yourself to get better than you shouldn't be drawing in the first place

>>4895996
This guy also gets called a pedo and has probably been doxxed already by the drama cabal. I'll take comfy obscurity any day of the week over that, thanks.

>>4895979
>it’s worth what the customer is willing to pay
I think it’s a very unreliable precedent to set for himself unless he believes his clients will consistently pay that amount.
I think being reasonably priced and consistent customers is better in the long run.

>>4895123
This is 2 hours of me zooming in super close and going as slow as I can. It's slightly better but still not anywhere near what I could do in 2 seconds with a pencil.

>>4894565
You have something interesting going on.

>>4895992
Another one. Very messy shading this time unfortunately. This is the last figure im gonna post here as to not spam the thread but I will complete two more than be done doodling for the night i think

>>4896086
Had a very similar experience with a screenless artpad.
It took me 5 minutes of drawing with one to make me lose interest in it. It feels so unprecise and most importantly unintuitive and unnatural. Sadly It’s now like a paperweight.

I’m considering dropping money on a Wacom one or iPad now.

>>4896093
>unprecise
Ironic mistake. But yea that's an accurate description. I guess you get what you pay for. Next one I get will have a screen. It feels like you're trying to do something in a mirror and you just don't have the hand eye coordination for precise movements.

>>4896100
You can train yourself to use one ofvourse but most pros choose screen ones for a reason you know

>>4896100
Jokes on you, my hand eye coordination was shit already so a screenless tablet makes no difference to me

>>4895549
Looks cool

>>4896100
I think the tablet you use should just be used for anatomy and gesture practice. That’s the only thing I see useful about my screenless tablet. I don’t waste paper on figure drawings

>>4894753
Glad you got payed, anon!

how long did those take

>>4896193
Maybe 5 to 8 mins each. The more I do the faster I'll get even if its not that quick rn

I actually managed to finish another one. Don’t hold back.

>>4896201
you inspired me to go and finish my first piece right now anon. Thank you and wish me luck

>>4896201
the face is nice. imo everything else is disgusting to the point that i think you traced the face.

>>4896211
Good luck!

>>4896201
Really fucking cool, my guy.

Thanks for the feedback.

this drawing seems to be doing better than most of my art on social media, any idea why? I don't feel like I improved loads or that this drawing is like my magnum opus. kinda just started as a shitty doodle at work.
any general critiques on it that I can work on and improve for my next piece?

>>4896244
Do you usually draw monster girls?

>not half bad art
>neat and easy to share on Twitter

>>4896201
What is she?!

>>4896273
I like catgirls and catboys, it's what I usually end up drawing.
>>4896275
got it, thank you. so mostly topical stuff?

Fucking hell ive hit the point that this one just pisses me off. How many times should you fix things before concluding it’s unsalvagable.?

>>4896282
It's a long story.

>>4896244
Colors

>>4896306
I'm familiar with this feel.
Best thing to do is to go with different iterations of the concept so you don't remain stuck fixing things about the one drawing.
You gotta make miles, anon. Don't be afraid to start over with new knowledge.

>tfw you get incredibly ignored in /beg/
>just need advice with lineart and how to color

>>4895638
by reading loomis

Hi /beg/. I tried doing my first value study but I realized that I fucked up the facial proportions of my initial sketch. Pic related.
Is there any point continuing this? Should I just try to lasso+transform+blend to fix it? Or should I start from scratch?

I mainly use mspaint but recently started doing more physical stuff,

>>4896449
Being ignored is usually a good thing. People love to rip shit apart. That said it could be a really bad thing if you’re so bad that you know it’s incredibly low hanging fruit and people won’t even waste their time. If that’s the case you already know it and have no business posting online yet, go draw.

I want to do Alexis delarge. Advice on bowler hat?

>>4896346
Ngmi

>>4896567
Try getting the construction of the head correct first.
Your posts look like borderline symbol-drawing.

>>4896577
I used a loomis style outline. What should I adjust

>>4896577
Decided to line up the face so you can see how I set the lines up. This will not be a realistic portrayal it will be stylized more like a comic book or pop art

>>4896580
Your problem can be fixed with applying construction. Especially since it's at a slight angle.
If you want to get better at drawing, you have to study the fundamentals; this may be boring but it'll pay off.

>>4896592
I’m studying fundamentals but I still intend on finishing the piece. Now Is there any advice on the hat you can give me.

>>4896606
Have you considered making the top smaller and rounder, since it's going to be stylised anyway?

>>4896612
I’m considering doing that now and making the brim smaller. I know my style of basing my drawings off photography but distorting them is weird

Really want help with the hat. I’m glad I didn’t scrap it just because someone told me the facial construction was ofr

>>4896645
I didn't say you had to scrap it because the facial construction was off.
But now that you inked it the mistakes really jump out.

>>4896662
Maybe I have artistic dysmorphia but I genuinely think it looks good. And no I haven’t inked it yet just pencil for now. Not gonna touch it with ink until everything is right.
Right now hat and hair feel the most off

What do you recommend I change because the like the face too much to adjust it

>every time I stop drawing for a few months and start again I draw better than before
why

>>4896669
If you like the face too much I suggest just changing the contour of the face.
I'd try to redline it for you, but my computer is going through 4 months of postponed updates.

>>4896683
Same way you benefit from resting a day after a heavier workout.

>>4896669
Also I don't think it looks bad necessarily either, just a bit lopsided.

>>4896694
Lol this is unironically the most use I’ve gotten out of my shitty tablet. I think the only thing here is the left eye could be slightly higher.

My wrist hurts :(

>>4896699
Looks good. The boobs are a bit disproportionate from each other.

Try scaling down the boob on the right.

>>4896697
ADJUSTED. FUCK I HATED DOIN THAT
Any other adjustments I should make?

>>4896697
2 minutes in Photoshop

>>4896704

I think it's pretty good. Wish you'd scale down your pictures though.

You could try accentuate the eyelashes a bit more. Give it a bit more of a stylized look. Right now they just look like straight lines.

>>4896707
I like it but I’d like to keep the Lips and nose more exaggerated. Your adjustment made her look more like male alex. Nice call on the eyes tho

>>4896716
Oh wait, it's supposed to be female?

>>4896721
Yes. I hope it looks feminine enough. I’ve made the hair longer. Changed the face shape. Made the nose more feminine and made the lips sexier

>>4896721
>>4896724

I didn't get that either. Still looks masculine.

Especially with the changes you made here. >>4896707

Try giving her some eyelashes, normally gives the eyes a more feminine look.

>>4896729
Those were someone else’s recommendations. This is how she currently looks.now can I get some help on the bowler hat?

>>4896733
The bowler hat looks dope.

>>4896724
I tried to make your drawing more feminine, but I don't think it's laid out for me.

Here’s were we are right now droogies.

Jesus Christ, can you please rescale your drawings before uploading?

>>4896831
Can I do this on my phone?

>>4895992
Could I bother you to post that reference pic, please? It’s something I can use. Thank you.

>>4895992
look at the gap between her knee and hand on the reference vs your drawing

>>4896844
There's various free apps that allow you to do this.
I've got this one installed on my phone.

Biggest I could find through crop+reverse image search

>>4896866
Thanks what’s the ideal picture ratio?

Any art requests?

>>4896906
I'd say set it to 2000-whatever (so reduce the highest value to 2000 and the other value should scale down accordingly)

>>4896906
Draw my sad clown looking happy, with a puppy.

There u go

>>4896945
That's cute, thank you.

Looking for help with this.
>need hair advice
>need background advice

>>4896863
Yeah, after I finished the drawing I measured proportions and was mad at myself, but you gotta keep moving forward and fix those errors one by one

>>4897034
yeah try measure before, normally works better, as you said keep moving forward and dont get caught up in the past

I worked the fuck out of this but I'm not happy with the colors. Piss yellow doesn't scream "dentist" to me. any ideas? I really don't want to do like a full painting. I think just one or 2 colors should be fine but maybe these aren't the right colors and maybe i colored too many things.

>>4896688
that makes sense

Watching Steve Huston's lecture on eyes. Damn, it's really helpful

I'm not a good artist, the I just drew this because I had a vision of it but I'd like some ways to improve

Goodnight bro’s. If you have any idea for a cool background for this let me know

Someone photoshopped this for me and lowered the right eye. I think it’s nearly perfect now.

Any more recommendations?

I started drawing yesterday since I stopped back in college which was like 4 yrs ago. I guess ill need to be studying some anatomy and shading.

I am using mechanical pencils .3 to .9mm its all I have

>>4897568
this eye looks quite odd

>>4896873
Thanks. I tried cropping and image searching it myself but the links were all dead ends. This is much better.

did this one from imagination

LADS WHAT DO I DO FOR MY 100TH FACE I NEED HELP

At least i finally get to draw anime girls now i guess

Anybody familiar with Felix Colgrave? If so, how the fuck do I start drawing like him? Fundies and then just draw from imagination as much as possible? Pic related

>>4897776
It’s actually based off a real photo I don’t know why the pupil is so high

How to do warm lighting like this? With the warmth surrounding the white?
what layer mode is this?

And what is this kind of sharp lighting called

>>4899432
