/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Look how derpy the eyes are. UGHHHHH

>>5008160
////gore/////

This Is my first attempt at painting, used Simon Bisley art as a reference for colors. The face looks pretty bad but I can't tell why, maybe the eyes? Also can I also get a critique on the colors choiche since I picked them from Bisley paintings and applied them to mine? Also will probably use Yusuke Nakano art for reference as well next time

>>5008167
to get better you either copy or just grind loomis bro...

Do you ever just draw something, finish it, and ask yourself "What the fuck am I doing?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBJY1Oldsi4
FREE SHIT

>>5008175
When you say grind loomis, you mean copy the pretty women heads in the back of fun with a pencil?

>>5008182
no, you are at the bottom of beg hell, you need to study anatomy but i doubt you will be able to do it properly since it's obvious you lack your very fundamental studies like perspective/construction

>>5008173
The head somehow reminds me of Byzantine art

(Repost due to dying thread)

Just posting my daily figure drawing out of ritual by now I guess.
I started this when I was kindly told by anon I am unable to capture a natural-looking pose. I think I'm slowly learning how to do that and that it's time to add some variety in my studying.
Before going deep into human anatomy, I'm thinking I'll take a small detour in fabrics just to clear my head of all the muscles... but perhaps it would pay to go to in-depth anatomy now that I have figure drawing in my head fresh? Or does it not matter?

>>5008222
do what you think will be the most fun

>>5008236
thanks needed to hear that

>>5008215
You ever know people that say lots of words but in the end the crab never said anything useful? That's the same shit different day that /beg/ has always been spouting. It's not helpful, it's not instructional, it's crab "fundies and loomis" but in a more demeaning way. Thanks anon. I know exactly what to do now!

>>5008248
I've only been in this thread a week but I know there's a person who shits on people on purpose to crab them, easy to figure them out by the fact they don't say anything useful, like you said. Good luck anon, may your art gains be plentiful and don't mind the bitters

Hey, anybody have the Proko anatomy course? Because, the mega is down.

Is it okay to have days where you just dont feel like drawing? This feels like one of those days

>>5008342
Just like working out or music or any other hobby, there are bad days. Sometimes a bad day is okay to skip, but you can’t always skip bad days. Sometimes trying to convince yourself to just draw one line is enough. Gotta maintain your gains through activity, but some days you just can’t.

>>5008160

>>5008160
Why is there 3 fucking /beg/s? Wait for it to hit at least page 8 retard

>>5008402
fast threads on a slow board. shouldn't take a genius to understand

I grind construction but then when it comes to actually using it I feel like I just cannot get it to translate to proper proportion and end up just iterating and refining layers.

>>5008433
if you don't know how to observe do drawing with the right side of the brain

>>5008433
what does construction mean to you?

>>5008342
The trick is for your life to be so utterly devoid of any other meaning that if you don't at least draw once a day then you have NOTHING. Thoughts of skipping will subsequently bring you anxiety attacks which will force you to draw. Tried and tested

>>5008433
first of all, thats a guy. for sure. second, as other anon said, you don't know what construction means. measure out the proportions on your ref and then reconstruct the image on the right

srt

>>5008353
I ended up drawing this. I had no inspiration ATM, just took a random model on my desk and drew it.
Havent studied values yet so I dont know how to shade it.
At least my observation skills are improving

redid an old still life with the crit anons gave
https://boards.fireden.net/ic/thread/5003716/#5003939
what do i need to fix?

Had a lot of fun drawing this. Crits?

>>5008486
your values are on point. the main difference is texture. little notches in the edges on the shapes. wrinkles in the table cloth and curtain.

I think I actually need to go learn some anatomy in detail, I have no idea what's going on with his torso. Anything else glaringly off?

>>5008566
you shortened his legs a fair bit.
look at negative space between his face and far leg, and between knees.

>>5008553
thank you for the crit. you can see my (poor) attempts at both in the picture. do you have any suggestions for working on texture?

are there any good books for learning construction or should I just do drawabox?

>>5008621
do both that and hampton

When learning loomis heads, is there a trick to finding the center line? I find my line position tends to over-play the effect of the rotation (so the close hemisphere is way larger than the far one, even when the head isnt rotated too much), which makes my chin placement also end up being pretty shit.

>>5008490
Just work on your anatomy and you'll be on your way.

>>5008167
>>5008173
>>5008178
>>5008433
>>5008490
loomis

>>5008222
vilppu

>>5008433
That is Aoi Ichigo and she is a Saint.

I suppose I look at tutorials and see them lay out steps of proportion but I find that my placement is just always off. Like the nose and mouth and chin as you go through the progression I posted. I have seen people do more of the deliberate measuring as you say so maybe I will experiment more with that and see if that helps.

>>5008490
The perspective is all sorts of fucked, but it's fucked in an interesting way.

>>5008653
more like poopis lol

>>5008653
> not tagged
am i gmi?

God damn it, the megupload with all that Proko shit is gone again

>>5008474
>>5008654
Sorry was trying to respond to you

>>5008654
Have you tried breaking down her face by tracing? Seeing where angles meet up? How big things actually are?

>>5008660
yes

>>5008656
Thanks! I got inspired by the awesome perspectives in promised neverland and tried to make it as weird as I could

>>5008574
Thanks! No idea how I didn't notice that, the fact that his hand and foot reach out about as far across the picture should have been an easy spot, I feel pretty stupid.

>>5008484
How should I improve? Looking at this more Im not too happy with out the bottom looks, I think I got the coiling effect to work but it just looks squished.

>>5008656
No. I've tried to avoid tracing but I think perhaps I need to spend some time tracing but with the specific purpose of building the measurements.

After grinding figure drawing I thought I'd sketch something for fun - no reference, no construction, just draw. This is what came out.
I am so surprised. Not because I think it's good or anything (in fact it probably sucks ass) but I was much faster and much, MUCH more confident with my drawing.
Thank you for making me grind /beg/. Crit my shit, no-ref drawing?

>>5008700
feel the forms and make it's tail/body larger

>>5008757
Thanks! This helps

>>5008730
everything looks in place just a few proportion adjustments you could do, the arms seems a little long.

>>5008772
Thanks, yeah that arm looks like it could reach way below thigh level, fixing.
Can I just say that there was no way in hell I could make a proportionate drawing like that from imagination like, 10 days ago? If you're one of the people that helped me on this journey (I think you are) then I hope karma's real and you become a millionaire or something, T H A N K

>>5008772
>everything looks in place

First attempt. Thoughts?

YOURE OUT OF TOUCH
IM OUT OF TIME
DRAW MORE LOOMIS HEADS WHEN YOURE NOT AROUND

Daily watercolor, last thread I got some advice on my figures so taking a break and studying that before I add in people again, did a perspective shot instead. Does it translate at all or does it just seem like a mess of colors?

>>5008848
Feels like I'm on a bridge above traffic at night

>>5008781
Can't really critique that exercise, it is meant to change your way of thinking about drawings, try drawing something else.

>>5008855
Just knowing you could make sense of it brings me a lot of hope, anon. Thank you!

How do I become less dependent on using references for human figures?

>>5008963
Glance at a reference, then don't look at it again but try to draw it. In the end compare

>>5008867
Is that intentionally what it is? If so that's very good, I have a similar view close to my home and it immediately felt like that (then again perhaps that's why I projected it onto your painting)

uwu

How long would it take for a complete beginner to get to this level of detail? What do I need to practice?

>>5008990
the random あ's and the fake japanese seal signature in the corner gives this soul.

>>5008992
Maybe a year or two if you were serious, beside studying the fundamentals(anatomy, perspective, etc) I would say shading and highlighting is what you should focus on.

>>5008160
R8 dis girl I dru

Still feels Disney like. Fuck.

why is she so cute

>>5009059
Bewbs.

>>5008992
I copied this and I don't really know why. Don't know who these girls are. Don't care much about drawing ecchi.
It was kind of fun though.

>>5009012
what else do i need beside anatomy and perspective

>>5009042
i like the eyes and hair
>>5009058
I like the thicc

>>>5008475
What do you think?

>>5009073
Just focus on studying those two for now, and when you are practicing or drawing for fun you can copy that artist drawings to understand their style.

>>5009099

>>5009099

>>5008975
yeah that was the intention, same view near where I live; was standing there at midnight in the rain the other day and tried to paint what it looked like

>>5009110
Is this your drawing? Looks like you need to focus on proportions, the legs and arms are a little too long. Also did you try and copy the drawing to see what you need to learn?

>>5008992
Depends on where you’re starting from but i think it’ll take the average beg more than a year or 2 to get there. Anime looks easy but there’s a lot of good fundies in practice in that pic imo

>>5009128
>Is this your drawing?
yeah, one I did a couple of months ago

LOOOOOOOOOOOMISSSSSSSSSS

Hi, im new to this board because I'm just beginning to get into art. What could I do to improve shading?

(Bottom right is brothers copy of mine)

>>5008222
This is really good, the only advice I have is making sure the fingers are proportionate

>>5008625
if you can see that it is in the wrong position, can't you just move it around util it is in the right place?

>>5009058
She's so cute I had to draw her.

>>5008992
I WANT TO FUCKING GRAB THOSE GIANT MILKERS AHHHHHH

>>5008730

>>5009159
Thank you anon! Figure drawing is becoming more and more fun. I redid the fingers, I think they're closer to the original now. Also made some face changes trying to make it more accurate

>>5009238
seems like you're just sculpting lines and it's not really productive for learning.

NOTHINGS CLICKING WHAT DO I GOTTA WATCH TO DRAW GIRL/DUDE BODIES HOLY FUCK

>>5009244
It's definitely productive for learning, each of my pieces is clearly better (which is definitely not a hard thing to do, at least for now). Here's my level from just a few days ago

>>5009271
>each of my pieces is clearly better
...than the last piece, forgot to type that

>>5009271
looks about the same, but ok, you do you

Did a bunch of dumb sketches based of random images I found. Still need loomis

i bite off more than i can chew and pay the price for my hubris

>>5009048
Iz dat gud?

>>5009271
AUUUURHGGGGGGGG I NEED BOOOOOOOBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

>>5009289
I see some Peter Han in there gmi.

>tfw hand hurts and it's 6 am and want to keep drawing

is it ok to start with vilppu as a /beg/? it's hard for my autistic ass to learn shit from books so i can't really start with ol' loomis.

I tried to redo the shading on the ass and legs again, it looks slightly better than last time but still doesnt seem right, is it the colours or contrast?

>>5009293
Great job with the values, I recommend replacing those eyebrows and trying a gradient on the lips from left to right. The lips gradually become lighter towards the right in the reference.

I generally understand what isn't working with this piece, kind of just posting to ask you guys if anyone here has a repository for models with no stock image watermarks?

Thank you, cool drawings.

>>5009422
Dude fucking go render cubes and spheres first before tackling the ass

>>5009431
just simple lineart and pose practice

I don't know if I should give up, it's hopeless, I'm talentless

>>5009453
feel the form

I'm a newbie to drawing and i bought a cheap tablet to start drawing are there any videos on how to start drawing digital for beginners?

>>5009467
Yes give up. Just another thing on your list of failures. Not like continuing would improve you. Just give up do it.
its so easy just give up who's gonna stop you haha just give up silly imagine frustrating yourself haha. Give up anon do it. You wont.

>>5009469
How? HOW? HOW? THATS ALL PEOPLE TELL ME
LOOMIS LOOMIS VILPPU FEEL THE FORM FEEL IT
I CANT
I FUCKING CANT
4 MONTHS WASTED doesnt it MAKE YOU WANT TO FUCKING LAUGH AND SCREAM

>>5009479
IF I give up he goes apeshit and starts eating humans

>>5009480
like 90% of the stuff you draw are heads and faces, which is harder to feel the form for. draw other stuff lol

>>5009496
GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DRAW

Go back to the commissions lad, god knows you need them

how do i study bros? been watching these anatomy videos and i'm lost on what do now. it's like everything i'm hearing is going out the other ear

>>5009536
> commissions
?

>>5009542
Have you tried following the video while watching it? Or is it one of those medical study videos.

>>5009536
Fucking answer me. What are you talking about?

>>5009467
Yeah you should just give up, clearly isn't for you.

>>5009476
roboloomis

>>5009605
Why? Give me a list of actual reasons

>>5009607
You shitting up our board with your autistic screeching
You making shitty pointless threads having a mental break down over drawing and sucking.
You being a retard about drawing 4 months with no substantial gains and mindlessly grinding fundies over and over again never applying it at all.

>>5009615
first two are irrelevant, help me fix the third one

>>5009542
What anatomy videos? What are you trying to study? Look into it a bit, get an idea of what you're aiming to do, try to copy whatever form and then do shit in different positions, look for flaws and then either study more or try again. The main reason to learn this shit is so you can do it, you're not doing a med sci course.

>>5009607
1. because I said so
2. because you're annoying
3 - 99. 2 but worded more aggressively
100. because you clearly don't enjoy doing it and are just looking for excuses to give up instead of just admitting that you aren't that interested

>>5009618
All wrong lmao
go back to drawing porn
Anon, please you have to help me, I won't post the shit I like and Im proud of, you mocked it last time but I care, I just dont know if Im doing ok or horrible for 4 months in, alright? I need to know

>>5009624
I have zero idea where you started, how you practice, how many hours you're putting in, how much effort you're putting in within those hours, nothing, and I don't care because you act like such an obnoxious retard all the time.
If you posted like a normal person people might want to help you instead of telling you to fuck off. If you're gonna act like this go to a psychiatrist for help, not /ic/.

>>5009650
4 months more like 3 months and half i was too sad during one
4 hours a day

If I’m gonna do this poorly at something I might as well go play hearthstone.

I've been doing some back studies recently and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice/decent material for me to study from.
Some of the landmarks on the back like the shoulder blade can be a bit obvious, but I still mess that up along with other pieces. Are there any tips that can help me here? I find the front much, much easier, but I think that's similar for a lot of people. The anatomy's just more obvious.
Oh, and my linework is crap too. I've been improving it lately, and I'd be afraid to show what it used to be, but I'm struggling a bit to make it better. Are my lines too thick? Should I stop going over them again to darken them for emphasis?
Honestly, a lot of it sucks, especially the heads. I've been neglecting studying the face and putting it off later this month.

>>5009546
>>5009618
i'm watching vilppus head anatomy and construction, but it's not clicking. i know i'm retarded, but what do i do? just draw everything he draws? take notes?

>>5009653
again I have no idea where you started, but 3 months of drawing is fucking nothing. go try for a year and then you can judge your talent.

>>5009746
Yes to both. Shit rarely clicks until you've tried it a few times and can see what you're doing compared to what you should be doing. The goal of learning stuff is mostly so you know what to practice, as far as I see it.

holy fuck drawings hard. i'm just now learning how to draw a fucking head, but when i look at shit on perspective, it gets so overwhelming. i don't see myself ever drawing this stuff, man.

Help me bros

How can I make this better. What sticks out as a glaring fault?

I know the pose would be a bit awkward to hold IRL but I feel it has a nice flow. Also I don't think the balance is too bad.

>>5009782

>>5009791
Great Scott, you're right!

>>5009536
For the third time, what the fuck are you talking about? I need answer.

>>5009782
She's about to fall over

>>5009839
Yeah in m initial gesture sketch the shoulders/head/neck were a bit further back but everything sort of straightened out as I added to it.

I am /beg/, but I do not want to improve. I want to be king of /beg/. I am not the schizo from above.

Going there anons

>>5009282
You're the person who can't draw and is putting begs down with no advice, aren't you? You're sadder than the schizo, at least he's trying to get better at something

>>5010030
>implying the schizo is sad
Schizo has ascended and doesn’t feel what humans call “emotions”. He’s a cold, calculating machine that finds no joy or sadness in what he does, it is simply a necessary process which must be completed to serve goals beyond your comprehension

>>5010030
no that's not me and I'm sorry if I came off as a dick. I didn't want to get into a thing if they said this was helping them, what do I know, we all learn differently. I haven't found it useful to carefully copy contours for learning. What happens at the next reference? Did that extra hour trying to get everything just perfect make them any better at tackling the next thing?

tried loomis but im scratching like a chicken most of the time, how do i stop this?

>>5010083

>>5009244
>just sculpting lines

>>5009948
You need to finish this piece, ahora pronto.

>IF I give up he goes apeshit and starts eating humans

if schizo makes it he will have an amazing biography i guess

can somebody explain push and pull when figure drawing?
is there a guide?

>>5010074
Oh, well you didn't come off as a dick, it's just that there was no useful crit in there, just that cryptic "sculpting lines" comment, idk sounded like that person to me.
Yeah, learning is different for everyone, but I have to say figure drawing can help immensely with your skills if you stick to it, even if you don't render. For example, for me, figure drawing has helped me with understanding construction and how one form comes out of / enters another... I can't explain it well because it doesn't happen consciously, almost as if by magic through repetition, but I'd def recommend it as an exercise imo

>>5010140
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VVU1mCwYiY

>>5010162
thanks but i kinda meant with gestures in particular. It's meant to make the figure look more dynamic or something kinda like this image

>>5010168
just think of push as stretch and pull as pinch

when you lean back it stretches your stomach and pinches your back in

When I figure draw I rely a lot on the transformation tool for corrections. Should I stop using techniques that I couldn't use non-digitally, or does it not matter?

>>5010168
Did you watch both parts in their entirety?

fun has been had.

my spheres are looking retarded

>>5009223
cute

Can you tell me where to improve on?

>>5010273
Head too big...

>>5010275
ok but it's mean to be a young anime girl, they have large heads compared to their bodies. I tend to have a problem giving them pretty big heads though I'll work on that, I made it smaller, is this better?

>>5010293
based and cunnypilled

>>5010293
Fucking do gesture and figure studies you motherfuck

>>5010303
I do, I spend at least an hour doing figure drawing, from posemaniacs daily, this is one of the pages I do a day, I do up 3 maybe 4 of these.
Each one is timed differently some I have a lot of time to do the anatomy and other times I don't

>>5010326
You make villpu cry...
You’re not feeling anything and just trying to copy it as fast as possible

pain v2

is this worth finishing?

>>5010332
You’re not feeling anything
What do you mean? I'm not feeling what?
>just trying to copy it as fast as possible
Isn't that I'm meant to do?
I try to copy the pose using construction in as little time as possible while adding contrapposto.

>>5010342
You’re feeling the weight and volume of the pose, those stick figures are flat doesn’t convey the thickness and direction of the limbs.
You’re suppose to draw the pose with as few lines as possible and manage to capture or exaggerate it. speed is the result of mastery, and not by forcing it.

>>5010345
You’re not feeling the weight* sorry I’m sleepy

just pain

>>5010356
anon just go move onto a different illustration

>>5010345
Is there a guide on doing this? I don't know how to exaggerate a pose and not make it look weird.

>>5010361
Just check up on villpu and analyze what his doing when drawing a figure and applying it to your own figure studies

>>5010365
You mean copy these?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa_2rL1K1mg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOtVUHgJqQk&t=802s
Ok I'll try, I don't think I can do them quickly though.

>>5010378
JUST FUCKING PIRATE HIS COURSES AHHHHHH

>Watch and draw along with a video by Akihito Yoshitomi on how he draws heads
>Its just loomis with extra steps
EVERYTIME

>>5010378
Oh yeah definitely that, I think there was another one that isn’t from villpu but I think I’ve forgotten what it was called but it was basically a really simple way in tackling gesture by doing simplified stickman and adding form on them.

>>5010381
I bet my left ballsack the loomis box shit he does is just for show and he probably just freehand everything when normally drawing something

>>5010388
For sure. Those videos are meant to be tutorials. I highly doubt someone who draws manga for 30 years still draws boxes to orientate themselves

>>5010416
I want to fucking see him draw in gtec or brushpen drawing a human figure with clothes on freehand to completely assblast /beg/s to Uranus

>>5008624
Doesn't Vilppu do a good approach to construction?

>>5010332
gestures come before adding weight coombrain, you can practice one skill without the other

Hello everyone, can you point out some mistakes I did with the construction? My goal is doing enough of these till I'm able to do them from imagination

Some more

>>5010496
these are sexy, where are they copied from?

>>5010501
here are the references

>>5010387
That sounds way easier. Do you a guide to that?
I really want to try that, the artist that suggest I do posemaniacs and figure drawing has a channel and she does something like that. I tried to emulate her but she just stops with the stick figures and just freehands the figure on longer time limits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDPkuROUDq4&t=635s
She was the one I copied and did my figure drawings..

>>5010380
I had these sitting about for a while, are these the ones you were talking about? It's way too slow I tried one video and listened to him talk for ages, without drawing or anything and dropped it. That and I find it hard to understand his slow speech made me drop it. I could try it again if you recommend it.

>>5010512
nice video, thanks

>>5010512
not the person you respond to but I would recommend vilppu. The videos you have are his older ones, if you can get his NMA videos they are much better.

Tried croquis cafe for the first time. How do I get better at figure drawing and what should I exactly study?

>>5010549
second one

>>5010549
croquis cafe is just timed gesture sessions, to get "better" you'll need to study the fundamentals(anatomy, proportions, etc). Watch the vilppu youtube video that was just posted above to get a sense of how to approach it.

>>5010335
It's always worth it

0 reference. How did I do?

trying rendering

>>5010595
Im not touching rendering until I can draw good pictures only using the 4 primary fundies

Someone has asked me to make a very simple drawing, I accepted despite not having touched a pencil for a year and never having worked on commission. Do I just bail out?

>>5010603
How the fuck am i supposed to give you an answer?

>>5010603
How much are you charging?

>>5010596
>4 primary fundies
what are they anon

>>5010615
feed, seed, suck and fuck

>>5010615

Perhaps the head is too big, it's kind of hard to tell with anime stylization but I think that's it. Or maybe just too wide

>>5010666
>nice devil trips
also, head needs to be much bigger
think bobblehead

>>5010682
Oh alright, if it's style then I don't think anything looks off personally (but I'm just a beg)

How do I study for backgrounds? Other than perspective, how should I go by constructing the setting of my characters?

fixed that clothes

>>5010651
If only. t. beg

Need critiques on how to make a more natural rendering. Is there any effective way to learn rendering techniques? Pls advise.

>>5010839
For starters stop abusing the blur effect it is nauseating.

Can I get a crit on this please? Are there any glaring mistakes? I didn't know what to do with his right arm and tail.

>>5010614
5 or 6 dollars I think

>>5010851
Just do it, it's fine if it's not good as long as you're under 30 bux

>>5010592
I colored it for a different thread

>>5010817
Jaw should be round. Head slightly less wide because eyes are 1.5 eyes apart instead of 1

First ever landscape painting, the plan is to add more varied brushstrokes into the blocked out parts to add more depth & texture.

>>5010890
i tried makin the head a bit less wide n it looks so much better so ty

>>5009605
What's roboloomis?

Does anyone have books/tutorials for the soft pastel-y anime kind of rendering? Azur Lane and some Arknights art does it, and it looks really neat. Is Anmi's book on panda any good?

>>5010817
Very cute, good job anon.

Chicken scratch more, no joke. You're using few curved lines to describe the form of the hair and the torso lacks a bit of definition, taking from how the cloth should behave. Same thing for the sock, you did a pretty wierd outline for it. But it's pretty good anon, keep it on!

>>5010839
not /beg/, go away!

I dislike improving so slowly, really need to get back into drawing often and studying. half/non-assed faces

Something like this was way above my skill level but I was bored of grinding and it was pretty fun.
I think I will draw a new gothic lolita girl at a strange perspective holding a small animal every month or so to see how I've improved (I posted one of a girl with a hedgehog a few threads back).

I've concocted a new art style! Sleepy scribbles! Or perhaps, doze-off doodles!

Work in progress, out of ink, will finish it tomorrow

>>5011106
Very nice anon, I can see /beg/ limiters breaking in that drawing, the effort shows

Whew and here I thought I'd mog the thread with my >>5011130 drawing, apparently there's many good pieces here, I gotta catch up

>>5011132
Honestly I was pretty lazy with the perspective, really should have measured it out properly and I'm sure I could have rendered it less sloppily or looked at any references at all for anything but it's my first attempt at making a full colour image with a 3D background and also at drawing a mirror.
I actually quite like drawing backgrounds, no idea why I was avoiding them so long.

anyone have a link similar or greater than that one link that had EVERY thing in order from start to finish? and it was like 1.5tb on mega.nz?
or if not, somehting like it or reliably comparable?

>>5009223

eeeee anon <3 !

>>5009223

thanks so much for drawing her anon

its basically just the personification of me as a girl frills and short hair : )

im at no level to be giving out advice but here's some frills you can try and you can do them with one swooping line

>>5008160
heres my daily dose. Tried from imagination today. Perhaps il try to learn how hair works

>>5011363
forgot pic related lol

trying to learn painting and colouring

Watched some Vilppu. Feel like I understand gesture/FEELING THE FORM a lot more.

>>5011379
chicken scratch?

What fundie does clothing folds fall under? Should I bother draw them if I'm trying to work on getting basic fundies to a competent level? (Form perspective construction anatomy gesture)

hmmm
those are quite some buttocks

>>5011379
what vilppu vid did yah watch

nah not feeling it

>>5011409
No, just going on top of some lines several times to find the right one. Looks much cleaner in pencil.
>>5011438
Watching his NMA course on figure drawing

>>5011445
>NMA
got a link?

>>5011429
forms, drawabox has some basic introduction to that but is enough

would mega delete my folder even if i keep it to myself? i just signed up for nma's free trial and i plan to load up the mega with a shit ton of stuff. also, what do you guys recommend for a beginner?

>>5011431
Nice indeed.

>>5011470
sick

>>5011470
oh yeah, now i'm feeling the forms.

>>5011214
Not /beg

>>5011554
there are a ton of images in this thread that are not beg and you go for one of the images that are definitely beg

>>5011554
> Decent shading = not /beg/
I like it, but the proportions are off.

>>5011563
>>5011556
its just a meme

>>5011198
My dick is swollen. You must finish this.

>>5011565
It's not bad, tho.

>>5011571
yeah the meme is that any art that is slightly above perma beg is not beg

random anal sex

>>5010846
Clean up the lines

>>5011375
If you are trying to show color in a thread about feedback, don’t give gradient to the background like that. It fucks everything up. I can’t focus on the actual character.

Should I start with Vilppu's figure drawing course or Steve Hustons art anatomy for beginners course?

>>5011639
Dude just pick one. You’re gonna go through both and the time you take for the marginal gains from doing one first over the other are wasted from your obsession with the approval of 4chan. Which one seems more interesting to you, anon? Just fucking start that one.

>>5011646
damn nigga, it ain't that deep. i just wanted to know which one was best to start for a /beg/.

Hi guys, just wanted a quick opinion.
i've been drawing for some months one hour a day, not trying to make it or anything just trying to be better personally. I usually do some figure drawing and i draw faces, all with references. Sometimes i use quickposes sometimes i use movie stills. I've seen the steve huston beginner head construction and beginner figure drawing. I do think that i will see at least one more time each. But i wanna know if you guys think that i'm using my time wisely you know drawing faces and figures from references or if i should do something instead. Thanks

>>5011198
ARGH FUCK IM GONNA SPLURT

>>5009922
Based shortstack posting? I hope thats a goblin and you didnt accidently draw a short elf

Please help, I want to do perspective but I don't know what to do if the figure bends a limb. I know to do two lines that meet at a vainishing point but how do I do perspectives for a pose on the right where the limbs bend?

>>5011198
Gonna c0000m

How do I know how or big something is going to be, when I do perspective?

MY FUCKING WRIST HURTS
ARRGH

>>5011833
draw with shoulder bro

>>5011865
MY SHOULDER DOESNT WORK

>>5011876
draw with your arm bro, or least have a conscious effort in using your shoulder

>>5010077
Hot

>>5011808
Messure your scale. Eric Olson teaching that well.

>>5011881
If I do that my entire arm spasms and I cant draw properly

>>5011723
Use cylinder forms

Are these 3 loomis heads chill or cringe? Anything super wrong with them?

>>5011681
Nah, she's thicc goblino

>>5011954
you're not cute or funny. fuck off.

>>5012008
huh?

>>5011954
Are you the guy who made a thread about drawing using mouse?
Nothing wrong :)

>>5012097
Wasn’t me. Thanks though.

>>5011951
but how do I know how far they'll go or how small or big they will be.

Buy subscription, it's worth it.

>>5012131
go study vandruff's course and save yourself a whole lot of pain.

Anyone else doing Hustons new beginner anatomy course? If so, am i supposed to also draw the platform that the simple shape is on? it's the first assignment.

>>5008490
this sucks but its really fun, looks almost like something sickanimation would do

>>5012231
do you have a link?
The course thread got nuked

Crit?

I sucks at drawing faces from imagination, any tips? Those were done without any reference and right at the moment

>>5012444
It's even visible on my OCs, not to mention that I have problems with connecting the head to the body as well if I am not drawing a fullbody

>>5012451
For comparison, even when compared to faces that are as equally stylized they feel pretty unappealing and off most of the time

>>5012453
Damn thats a nice BOOBA woooweewooowee awoooogaa woof woof bark bark

thoughts?

30 mins per pose

why do these look flat?

>>5012453
Maybe try and analyse how anime features usually look. For example you might think you can draw any two lines for eyes but there's particular shapes they tend to be, depending on the style you're going for.
I'm pretty beg myself but I was autistic enough to do this as a teenager, I tried to learn a few art styles from different anime. Traced over it to get the shapes and would try and draw other things in the same style. I just made this now though, think I lost all those notes but it was this kind of thing.

How the hell do I make these better? Do I just "keep drawing" until I get it? What do I have to focus on? I dont want to draw hyper realistic, just semi or cartoonish, but I still want it look presentable and now like this. I feel like I understand the form of the skull in 3D, but the second I go to apply eyes and probably other facial features it just falls apart

>>5012556
not him but how do i make irises look 3D?

>>5012561
Think of them as a jew hat(picrel) on the cornea. Except smaller and flatter.

>>5012557
Heres another attempt.
Do I need just need to study the anatomy and structure of the eye (and i guess nose and mouth while im at it)?

>>5012580
>cornea
sclera*

>>5012444
Stop drawing anime.

>>5012590
Not valid critique.

>>5012598
Learn to construct real human heads from reference, then from imagination.
After that it's easy to stylize and it won't be obvious that you skipped all that in favor of drawing chink cartoons.

>>5012610
There you go

...

>>5012561
With big moe girl anime eyes the iris and pupil are often (not always) drawn like a concave cone.
This isn't accurate to life, in fact it's the opposite of how real eyes work, but it makes them look extra glassy in a 3/4 view. I believe it may be how glass doll eyes work though I'm not super familiar. In both cases there's distortion from the lens that makes it kind of hard to tell what's really going on.
I'll use Chitanda here as I was obsessed with Hyouka when I did this kind of thing.
It's fun actually. I should do some real anatomy study.

slowly losing my god damn mind
