I think I'm gonna make it bros

Is this any good?

Today I've started my adventure, post the first things I've drawn. Don't expect anything but I think that posting my results will give me motivation to continue.

>>4937382

God can you fucking niggers, stop makes clicking noises at each other and actually speak your fucking minds

>>4937452
I legitimately don't understand what's going on. Someone just responded with the word, “Butt".

>>4937404
Is it supposed to be Kate Upton?

Why is /ic better than reddit, again?

>>4937475
we can say NIGGER

>>4937477
technically you can't
It's just most people don't feel like reporting you

>>4937479
Yes i can nigger

>>4937382
booty

>>4937483
try me

>>4937363
her arms are way too short, also she's look like about to fall. Lurk some about figure balanced.
Hampton book teaches that effiecent.

>>4937382
yes, keep in mind proportions. With that definition of muscle ass feels off. Check gluteus maximus anatomy.
>>4937389
Buy some white office paper and bold pencils.
Gl tho.

>>4937404
Those lines are trash anon, looks traced.
If its not work on your linework, avoid perfect straight lines on organic forms and fabric.

Yep Clock

Hello could i get some help about her left arm
I don't have much knowledge about that rotation

>grinding fundies
>failing
>literally falling asleep

>>4937536
use a reference

>>4937395
>>4937485
>>4937526
Ok. So do you think her hienie is too big, too small... What? What's wrong with it?

>>4937526
>her arms are way too short
Yeah, I noticed that later
>also she's look like about to fall. Lurk some about figure balanced.
Hampton book teaches that effiecent.
thanks for the advice anon

thanks for the advice anon

>>4937543
way too round, no definition compared to rest of body.

>>4937357
>my drawing was the info post in a /beg/ thread
not sure whether to be proud or embarrassed.

>>4937530
perspective my anon

>>4937577
perspective my grandson

just used a bunch of sketches for my 'face' today

>>4937460
one time someone responded to my work with "why".
crabs are weird bro.

>>4937389
getting GMI vibes from this, anyone else?

>my work in the OP
Does this mean I made it?

>>4937650
being the OP isn't a guarantee of quality, but looking at your art I think you can safely move on to /draw/

>>4937650
you don't belong here, cornpop

Here's the inked and completed version of >>4936216

I tried my hand at gray-scale here to try and give it some more form and fixed the arm.

Give me the good and the bad of it.

>>4937650
get out of my thread /int/oid.

>>4937671
the only form I see is the midsection which makes the drawing bleed because the rest looks very stale and lifeless

>>4937650
Good job on your drawings, I don't understand why people get upset on others peoples work.

>>4937744
Aside from redrawing the imagine from a different view what exactly do I do to give it more form?

>>4937763
Because this fag isn't beg.

>>4937765
I suggest you look up simplifying the human figure for a better understanding.

>>4937671
You did it anon, you posted the highest resolution image I have ever seen in a beg thread.

Hand looks too small and oddly proportioned.

Breasts are uneven sized. Midsection looks like it's facing us head on but the breasts are going in their own direction.

Tail looks very flat and looks impossibly thick where it joins the body.

Linework is unflattering. I think that your sketch looks better.

Remember to flip your canvas.

>>4937767
Pyw and show me you have the skills to pick out what is and isnt beg

>>4937767
Just drawing good portraits doesn't make you not a beg, maybe he sucks at figure drawings or he can't color. You have to have a good grasp on all these things to get out of here.

I dont even.

>>4937767
i think you need to get out of beg and go look in /draw/ and the rest of this board if you think he isnt beg

>>4937798
>>4937781
>>4937782
He's int you retarded faggots, I know you are too new to know about the int threads, but he doesn't belong here.

>>4937801
theres more to getting out of beg than drawing floating heads anon...a lot more

>>4937801
>wont post work
Assmad perma/beg/ confirmed.

>>4937650
stop chicken scratching

>>4937806
I'm sorry, but considering most of you retards are beg your opinion of whether or not he's beg is meaningless, this are only sketches and it looks far better than anything you retards would be able to make with 20+ hours of effort, he's not beg.

I want to recreate images like this in a simplistic manner. For now I resorted to tracing at least the basic aspects.
How do I know which shades/colours to use?
How do I make the crude end product still feel three-dimensional?
How do I create my own elements into the image without tracing them?

>>4937569
Would erasing the definition on the inside of the figure help? That's what I was going to do. I have been drawing the entire basic figure out, lately for practice's sake. I had definition in the ass too, before I erased it.

>>4937813
ok if we are all beg why should your opinion matter any more? pyw

>>4937827
>if we are all beg why should your opinion matter any more
Not beg, I'm just here to give advice.

>>4937833
ok so pyw

Protip: if you see /beg/tards arguing about whether your work is beg or int, that means it's int

>>4937355
>F YOU
WELL FUCK "YOU"

>>4937782
>hurr durr if ain't a jack of all trade then you beg

dumbest fucking post ITT

>>4937843
This.

>>4937834
>>4937833
well?

>>4937850
no hes saying if you dont have a grasp on fundermantals then youre still a beg you dumb fuck, just having the ability to draw heads doesnt mean you know color, composition, value, form, brushwork, and perspective its just means you know how to draw a floating loomis head, jesus this thread

>>4937650
can you draw characters from the neck down well enough? Because there fags in /draw/ currently debating question why some other /beg/ left this thread dispite being ass at drawing the rest of the body

>>4937869
pfhh dont you know if you can draw floating heads then youre /int/?

>>4937843
this but the opposite

it should be mandatory to browse at least one /draw/ thread before youre allowed to post here, just so these people can get some perspective because im so sick of NOT BEG posts when everytime theyre just so painfully beg that its cringe

>>4937873
>>4937881
He had already been told anons in /draw/ that he isn't beg.

>>4937892
>told anons
told by anons*

>>4937671
Overall looks pretty trash. Your linework is fucking horrendous and the proportions are all over the place and makes the entire thing look like a circus freak.

The legs look terrible and disproportioned, the arms are abominations, the hair looks lazy and fill, the torso is wrong. Have you ever seen a real human before? Probably not because you are making cringy weaboo garbage. Fuck off.

>>4937881
Its just one insecure guy that wants everyone around him to be as bad as him. If anyone is even a little better he wants them out of here.

>>4937671
>Give me the good
None

>And the bad
Where do I even start?

>>4937892
just went and checked and two people both said what i said which was you need more than just floating heads and one guy said low int

>>4937850
floating head roughs isn't being a jack of any trade in the first place.

here ya go

>>4938030
shit
>>4937536

>drawings from reference and studies everyday look decent or even good
>drawings from imagination looks like shyte

Guys, what am I doing wrong?

>>4938071
Use construction. If you use construction for both studies and drawings from imagination the latter will start looking better.

>>4938071
FEEL THE FORMS

Here's a weird monk I drew.

Is there anything wrong with this?

>>4938081
You are symbol drawing.

drew this sketch for /v/...
I feel like her head is too small as well as the hands.
I thought it was okay, but I think it wasn't well received

>>4937671
Fuck off weeb poster

>>4937650
I think you could stand to be more decisive with your lines and do away with the chicken scratch, but I've been staring at the OP photo of your work for about an hour now. Take that as you will.

what is wrong with this?

>>4938081
Needs moar l00mis desu

>>4937671
damn i thought that was a troll post the first time

>>4938110
>his face when he walks in on ganondorf fucking zelda

>>4938092
>I thought it was okay, but I think it wasn't well received
>Seeking approval from /v/
>The /v/ draw threads no less

Bless your heart. Keep doing what you're doing, but stop posting there before you end up somewhere you don't belong.

>>4938092
It looks fine, anon. Posing is good, the expression comes across, the tin tin eyes are a little weird but if you drew other characters in this style and put them in a lineup it might look better.

>>4938116
It's just regular drawing practice for me I guess.
There are occasional very interesting ideas and I have fun drawing them.
>>4938124
Thanks, the eyes should be an easy fix.
I also noticed the legs might look weird. I always have trouble with high heels because they throw me off in terms of proportions

what can i do to improve this rough sketch? i like the idea but i don't think i like the execution. the blue line is for the water and the random lines + circle in the top right was just for me to remember to add lighting effects

how can i improve it?

>>4938110
stiff as fuck, drapery sucks, values and colors are all a muck.

>>4937487
Nigger

>>4937404
Booba

>>4937536

>>4938177
damn i was hoping there would be something redeeming but i guess not. i know the drapery is balls. i was struggling to choose shadows i guess i need a better pose and lighting scheme as i was being lazy going for a character design concept pose.

any feedback on the anatomy here? I feel like I did something wrong with the pelvis, but can't quite point it out

>>4938198
Ty anon

>>4938214
pretty good. Work on your forearms, and thighs. Won't hurt to learn the head in greater depth either.

>>4938221
thanks, I'll work on it

All my portraits look flat, floating loomis heads plus a body, this it getting old but theyre still not better
how do you even imply form? shading? thats tough

>>4938248
is your camera shaking?

>>4937904
The legs look actually good on that drawing, what are you talking about?

Any recommendations for where to find random reference pics for shit that’s not poses or people? Stuff like animals, architecture, or whatever. I’ve been using flickr and it’s ok. Tried instagram and seems like its discovery and ability to save decent resolution pics is lacking

>>4938266
Yes, take them yourself.

honest question
how to draw from imagination as a beginner without wanting to kill yourself

>>4938138
profile view and front view are too boring if you ever go with them you better don't do simple stanting poses like>>4938110, it looks simple and b oring, add some action uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lines?

>>4938214
whats wrong with her fingers

>>4938293
feeeeeeeeeeeeeel the forms

>>4938293
Loomis says to plan it out using simple shapes.

>>4938293
Doing creativity exercises is always a good idea and helps in unexpected ways
Try this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCYRo-hHtVM

>>4937487
Ok nigger

still life drains the life out of me
Is it okay if I draw angular bugs and animals instead if I'm learning construction? Also, when learning how to do proportions, is bargue plates a good method and can they be used digitally?

Asterix appears in a satire of Paul Jamin's Brennus... is the perspective on the left side too distorted? No door is that small

>>4934669
I redrew this one flipped horizontally. I should do that more. It's not perfect, I could've spent more time measuring, but I'm ok with it I think. I had fun with it.

>>4938379

>>4938251
yes, my bad

>>4938379
She should look more intense

Caption doesn't really make sense but I was watching Back to the Future (the first one, far better than I remembered but not enough Biff Tannen)

Random sketch. I guess my comics are like acid jaZz

Maybe stupid question, but w/e
How do you store your work that's not really high quality but you dont want to get rid of?
I'm working through DaB, Loomis, etc, and I'm generating just piles, like hundreds of sheets of paper. I don't want to throw it all out because I want to be able to look back on it and evaluate and compare with my newer work, but I also don't want to buy a ton of portfolios. Should I just get some cardboard boxes?

>>4938397
mama mia

>>4938293
You don't.
There is no from imagination, only from memory. As a beg you should not be drawing anything without a reference. Draw figures until it becomes second nature. You have to build up the mileage.

>>4938400
Sometimes he looks more German/Swiss...sometimes more Italian. Glad I bought the model anyway

I've failed again
give me something to draw, i cant bring myself to insult neither my muse or my reference with my horrible drawings

difference between jpg and png?

>>4938426
Png is better, transparency and fidelity iirc but at the cost of a bigger size

>>4938426
Every time you save a jpg it's quality will degrade (even the first time), png has complete fidelity to your source file, but it comes at the cost of the file being bigger.

>>4938398
If you're doing 8.5x11 sheets get file folders and a box from your local office supply store. That way you can label the folders by month/year and keep track. They may have some legal pad sizes for larger sheets too.

>>4938110
>>4938177
How do you make a 'stiff' drawing less stiff practically?

>>4938453
You might want to start out with hot press bristol... maybe 2H pencils...?

>>4938350
Yes, yes and yes.

>>4938455
To clarify I didn't draw this and how would you do that if you're using a tablet?

Can I learn to /draw/ with this?

>>4938465
Yes, I've been using one for 2 years.

>>4938459
Just use lighter lines to construct? not sure cause I haven't used a tablet yet...

>>4938471
post art?

>>4938259
Lmao no they are God awful. You must be pretty new to art if you think that shit looks remotely decent.

>>4938114
What gave you that impression? He's not the first anon to seriously post garbage anime art.

>>4938214
I can coom to this

>>4937671
I thought we told you to fuck off And stop posting retard.

>>4938473
I'm not good, but this is some unfinished practice from a few weeks ago. (if you are curious of the speed they were made in the same day)

>>4938110
Looks like vegeta cosplaying as link

>>4938199
>>4938453
Get working knowledge on gestures and contrapposto. This will improve your art tenfolds.

>>4938494
Much better than me anon, keep going.

WHERE IS THE FORM? WHERE CAN I FIND IT?
IT WILL FINISH ITSELF IF YOU GIVE ME THE FORM

>>4938577

This is a prime expample of the ngmi anime study general faggot.

>>4938577
https://youtu.be/bvBfiRWLj_0

I tried drawing my eye

>>4938610

I've been trying to develop a distinctive style with forms that I'm interested in. Find myself always moving torwards clean lines and pure geometric shapes. Is it good?

>>4938616
>>4938610
form, give me the form
where is it

>>4938616
very nice
love it desu

>>4938617
I don't know how to feel it

>>4938619
YOURE hiding the form
where is it?

Is "feeling the form" just holding the pencil like a fag?

youre hiding the form
give it to me where is the form

you stole the form
give it back

What are some resources on making good line art?

>>4938659
form

>>4938661
No?

>>4938668
WOAAAAAHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAH WOAAAAAAAAAAAAH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

>>4938627
SSSSHHHHHHHHHH
NOT IN FRONT OF THE /BEG/S YOU RETARD
what are you trying give all our secrets?!!

>>4938659
Learn about form and shadows dumbshit

Newfriend here. I feel like I hit a plateau and I need a good hit in the head.
Also, I struggle with digital art so much. Clip Paint Studio specifically.

>>4938675
>>4938669
Good line art and value are some of the things that help you define and show form, it is not helpful to say this.

>>4938678
What does your traditional art look like?

>>4938683
I can provide a diff picture if need be

>>4938685
go back to copying more animu art and grinding anatomy jesus.

WHY WONT YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE FORM?

>>4938685
I'd say working on your fundamentals like anatomy, proportions, etc would help you a lot. Finding more art that you like and inspire you would be a good start to get out of any rut you feel you're in. Why do you feel that you struggle with digital art?

from my daily practice im busy alot so I try to get in at least 40 min of practice a day

>>4938701

>>4938703

>>4938698
Been at it. I've recently got out of a month-long art block and doing sketches daily. Even bought a couple books.
Brushes, pens, etc. I look at some artists I follow for inspiration and they look "right" while everything I make feels either "bold, thick, or sharp". I've been using ink pen for line art, but idk if I should do that, brushes, pencil, etc on CPS.
Among other things in general. I'm not the most technologically inept person.

>work on drawing for two hours
>step back and take a look
>it looks like shit
>destroy in fit of rage and disappointment

>>4938716
dont do that man you can use it to learn from your mistakes

>>4938552

>>4938712
When you look at those artists you follow and you feel that gap between their art and yours, it's really important to try and pinpoint exactly what you like about their art, that's missing from your own. Just looking at the art you like without critically thinking about it can result in that feeling of inadequacy when looking back to your own. More than that it's a great idea to find even more art that inspires you. It's doesn't necessarily have to be drawings. Movies, comics, animation, video games, you'd be surprised by how an interest in a different field can lead to a breakthrough in your own. Try to diversify your tastes, part of becoming a great artist is branching out into many subjects so that you can bring it back to yours and make something truly unique.

>>4938685
draw more

>>4937487
Nigger

So it turns out the real secret really was to just practice more

>>4938092
really like the style anon well done, you might want to check the angle of the feet though, she looks unbalanced. For the hands, the closer hand without the gun is smaller than the further one, so change either

>>4937671
what did you do to earn the wrath of /beg/?

>>4937576
its a good thing, /beg/ should be highlighting those that show some damn grit and potential everynow and again.

>>4938741
yuck.

>>4938496
i was going for a more athletic look

for practicing with the Loomis method of constructing heads in Fun with a Pencil, should I use references or the practices in the book? I'm currently doing the former and have been having a hard time making it look close to the reference, but I've only done 2 heads at the moment.

>>4938921
What reference and how do you use it.

>>4938921
also something to add, I've been considering just taking the info despite not really having a good grasp on it and moving into practicing gestures. any thoughts?

>>4938926
I've been practicing on model headshots, taking the method and applying it to real heads. pic related is my 2nd try

thanks for the feedback guys.
I don't only draw heads but they are faster to draw. In the same amount of time it takes to fill one page I can only do one figure

>>4938934
I would drop reference and just figure out how to consistently do the loomis head.
>>4938928
Keep your adhd in check. Do loomis for a while.

>>4938943
thanks for the input, anon!

>>4938350
Drew some more animals, now with more organic shapes. I'm having trouble drawing the turtle's underbelly(?) even if I squint I really don't know what I'm looking at.

Also on a profile view like this bird here, how to you actually construct forms that are almost completely flat even in the reference?

>>4938897
this more your speed?

>>4937355
This is the same character I made from September 2019 to October 2020

Anyone got anything to say about this one? I not really sure how to handle the smokey\dusty environment

>>4939143
looks like people in smoke is floating especially that back one

Daily practice

>>4939149
Well I intended the guy in the back to be jumping off an evaluated spot. Is it the smoke that makes it look like they are floating or the perspective?

>>4939163
>Is it the smoke that makes it look like they are floating or the perspective?
Not that anon, but both.

>>4939167
well theres no movement around the smoke, plus who looks like that when they jump, dude is just floating menacingly

>>4939228
Thanks. I'm a newfag here. Seems like the /beg/ threads are more dedicated to helping people with body construction and form. I think my problems are more focused on composition. Is there a thread more dedicated to illustration rather than character art?

>>4938941
OUUT OUT OUT OOUT

hey kids what do you think

>>4939255
Lol. I see what your saying. I'll plan on doing some jumping figures later. It seems like I didn't capture the curve of the torso people usually have when they jump.

Do you know offhand any works I can ref that show movement around the smoke that might fit the style Im going for?

>>4939288
just google in and search others art that includes smoke like pinterest or whatever, probs some youtube videos as well, go research nibba

Is furry content allowed on /beg/? I need some help but I don't know if it's fitting to put it here, I'm new to this board.

>>4938363
I guess the dude on the right has his right elbow pushed back behind his shoulder...

how could i render the characters better. i guess i was going for chrome or at least shiny metal. i figured i could make the environment really simple and then the render would be really simple but somehow its still way off.

It doesn't look like a reflection it just looks like solid color

>>4937355
Is the autist who drew this still here?

>>4939324
looks like shiny metal to me? this is a bit advanced for beg though so youre better off just finding a video on it

>>4939324
It looks fine to me, maybe a little opaque on the texture, it definitely needs more light and shadow work but as a base is pretty alright.
The background can use some real work tho, altho my guess is that the one you have right now is just a placeholder.

im designing monsters for my fantasy manga. this fellow slides around using its precum.

>>4937355
Just finished rendering this one myself. If someone has the brent eviston video files it would be GREATLY appreciated.

>>4939398
Before image. Done some minor fixes and stuff. Also any alternative courses would also be appreciated.

>>4939347
why would you even comment if your answer is for me to look it up?

>>4939457
because i wanted to make you think "huh oh yeah google and youtube exists, why dont i go search there for an instant and more in depth answer than anything i can find in a thread dedicated to beginners"

is it weird I find myself jealous of polymaths who on top of being able to draw possess other skills?

Reached rough p respective exercise in drawbox. All my boxes look lopsided and ugly, this is so frustrating.
I know I'm not supposed to instantly master it, but it's still annoying me.

>>4938092
I like it, anon

>>4938394
is there any way to do that besides lowering her eyebrows?

>>4938941
Get out of /beg/ right the fuck now

>>4938941
>People in here think this isn't low int.

>>4937355
This op image isn't beg

There's currently a begtard infiltrating /draw/ and calling others /beg/, of course he is not posting work. Now he's using a drawing of his target as the op pic for beg. Never have i seen such butthurt

>>4939624
well at the time all we saw were floating heads

>>4937781
>>4937827
And here's my polished turd from a year ago ( I never post my current work since I don't like being associated with this place), for you two to stfu. He's not beg, he's low int.

quick sketch from imagination

Friends won't give me any feedback so here I go

>>4939681
how long have you been drawing?

>>4939684
117 days but i never do more than 30 mins a day as im lazy but i do draw every single day, not a single day off

>>4939641
kek

>>4939641
well yeah we know that now hes posted a body, but i still stand by what i said in that being able to draw some floating heads doesnt make you int, theres a lot more to art than some heads anon, also work on shape appeal in your rendering he looks very scratchy, learn to blend and group colours, but this was a year ago so im sure youve learnt that by now

>>4939398
>>4939404
Any feedback on these? I want to start a new tomorrow

might finish it more later

>>4939703
>>4939398
The drawing is well observed, but you gotta push those values. The top of the beak and the feathers of the wings are so dark, yet in your rendering they're about the same value as the white breast and head feathers. It's more obvious when you make the image black and white. See how yours is just grey all over compared to the reference?

>>4939722
did i fuck it?

>>4939689
method of construction?

>>4939795
something like this but sometimes like in the picture i posted i just started on an eye and then went to nose, down to mouth and then chin as they all feed into each other

>>4939807
im retarded

>>4939783
It’s been ducked with those eyes

I think I'm ready to give up

>>4939000
>post the naughty bad nigger word
>delete post your own post
>everybody else's posts are still up
wow, you sure showed them

Been drawing for like 2 months, a bit more and its just not worth it, I want to draw like yuasa so I dont know why I even bother anymore
I've failed again and apologies for yesterday's episode, pulse remains pulse but I'm a hack
mock me or whatever I cant, I dont give a fuck anymore
I know ive started drawing with this guy so it should be around 100, im too mentally ill to draw

I'll use this period of lucidity to burn all tools and paper, encrypt and erase everything /ic/ related, I'll quickly forget about it and move on
Hard work is meaningless if you're fucked in the head, Talent is all that matters in the world, no one should aspire for more, just know their place and die, death is the only true justice and it can only be if everyone dies

>>4939832
That's not bad man, you should keep at it. You've got a good eye and a decent foundation already for someone who's only been at it for two or so months. Yuasa is a good goal, his work is very expressive and loose, he really just attacks the page when he draws. You should do some studies from some of his work, his abstractions and short hand are really elegant

>>4939843
Meant to post this image as well

>>4939832
Why are you giving up after 2 months fren

>>4939840
if it's only been two months and youre drawing like this then i'm sorry buddy but who have no right to complain about talent

>>4939832
>>4939840
Good idea. Don't bitch out now.

>>4938886
>>4939584
thanks brehs

>>4938952
fuck that turtle gives me flashbacks to that one rabid autist from last year good times

>>4939815
double check your proportions and alignment before pushing forward to details.
look how far out ref's head is over his leg, you've got him leaning in in the opposite direction. notice overall arc on face compared to yours with chin jutting forward.

also draw through to far side of forms, you've got weird baby legs because you were only thinking about the front side and didn't draw the back half.

>>4939390
I just want to say that I appreciate you.

>>4938716
gmi but only if you're not a fucking pussy and keep drawing.

might be a bit of a stupid question, but as a complete beginner what should I draw that won't look like shit? I try drawing the things I want but they're too complicated and end up looking terrible and it really demotivates me

>>4937389
These are today results, don't expect anything but I have serious problems with circular shapes. Stopped drawing for today only because my eyes hurt

What do you guys think?

this vid has some good suggestions, rock formations, old trees, animal bones, etc. basically objects that even if you mangle it will still roughly look like the thing, as opposed to humans or familiar manmade objects where you know instinctively that it's fucked.

>>4940025
Thanks, I'll check it out

>>4939589
Try studying expressions... remember she's climbing, not reading a book or parking her car.

my eyes hurt from trying to fix my shitty drawings.

Rate my art

>>4940081
nigga just scrap it and start over. This shit took 10 minutes at most.

random stuff

>>4939909
Context?

>>4939682
You're probably annoying about it.
There's some easy extra points to be had by doing some simple shadow on the shirt.
The horn looks like it's about to fall off.
The sun glasses wont fit.
Gorilla arm plus disjointed shoulder.
Why cut off the legs.

>>4940019
seems like you got a little lazy or unsure when you hit the thighs. might be because you're thinking of more of a modern ass-out pelvis tilt, she's like most vintage models with her groin thrust forward more/top of her pelvis tipped back.

>>4940087
Makes me very uncomfortable.

>>4939843
There's no need to lie to me, I'm insane not stupid. I refuse to learn from now on unless, do you think I could draw and color like him as a side thing?
>>4939865
3 months, it's been a waste of time and are you the one who complains about true /beg/ or whatever? I'll tell you what someone should have told me months ago, why are you even drawing then? This constant conflict seeking behavior will take you nowhere, why are you drawing? who are you drawing for? what makes you want to draw? You'll stop caring about someone being true beg or not if it's honest, and you'll keep crying if it's not.
There is no reason for it you know, anger won't lead you to make a better work, that's a cinematic delusion, no one cares, not even you, so drop the bullshit and draw if you're honest or just pick something else.
There's no big epiphany if you keep being a dick, you're just wasting your time.

>>4940255
I think you could learn to draw and colour like him, sure. His stuff is super loose and dynamic, even if things aren't technically correct in his work it's drawn with such confidence and exaggerated in such a way that it's still nice to look at. He's a professional animator who's been working in the industry and mastering his craft for over twenty years, so you shouldn't put pressure on yourself to be as good as him if you want to do it as a 'side thing'. If there's one thing you should take from Yuasa it's that you shouldn't take art so seriously, it's not a life-or-death or a be-good-or-quit discipline. Just try to have fun drawing dumb shit and do some studies along the way. Comparing your progress to others is an awful, destructive habit, you must focus on yourself

>>4940019
Nice job identifying the ribcage, but your pelvis scheme is super weird. Love the headconstruction and the neck, but the neck is attacked more at an angle to the ribcage, it's nicely visible on the ref. Skull is missing mass on the backside, check out the skull in profile and you will see. You have nicely drawn the trapezius but forgot to draw it on the other side too. I know there is only a tiny bit that you can see, but it makes a big difference and you should always relate one side to the other. Legs look a little short because the angle is more straighter. Nice effort I think you will improve tons with these.
Look for another way to simplify the pelvis, you should be able to identify the PSIS from it. If you get the pelvis right, it opens the door to proper leg construction.

can you guess whom is this? bc I probably couldn't
mouths are my weakest point

That’s not what happened. I reported his post.
Even if that were true he was running from what was coming to him.
