>>5076780
Not /beg/

>>5076067
thank you to previous anon for the tips, what do we think of this now? she's meant to look flustered wearing nothing but an apron. it doesnt read as an apron and it doesnt 'sit' right, not sure about how the boobas are overlapping the shoulder either, something looks off about them. crits please!

>>5076802
Aprons don't have belts, they have a rope that's either tied in the back or in the front, leaving a visible knot. make some fabric strips float around her in either case, that'll even contribute to the general movement of the pose.

>>5076780
now presenting the ultimate /beg/ experiment:

100 (or more) /beg/s split into 2 groups:
group 1 does fun with a pencil
group 2 does drawabox
we will see which group has better improvement.

we will decide, once and for all:
is drawabox shit?
is loomis just a meme?

join here if interested:
https://discord.gg/YTBUnBg4x3

timeline is 1-2 months. we will probably start on jan 1st

>>5076874
one or two months of just studying one book? are you paying these people to limit their gains with one book for that long? and how would you know they're not using another source/book? how are you going to control for every variable imaginable like time spent daily or initial skills? pls be a parody

>>5076874
>/int/fag proceeds to join and pretends he's shit
>"reads" loomis fun with a pencil
>dabs on everyone at the end of 2 months
>boxcucks on suicide watch

why does his head look weird?

>>5076874
>>5076886
additional info:
after fun with a pencil, group 1 will study loomis's figure drawing for all it's worth. group 2 will study hampton after drawabox

so yes they will have more material to work with. (wrote drawabox vs loomis in the initial post for advertising purposes)

we have been considering a 3rd intensive group with scott robertson and anatomy for sculptors

>>5076896
hopefully if we recruit enough people this will not be an issue. very few people would do this anyway

I'm new to CSP. How do I achieve soft edges with Hard Round? The brush I used is a 99% opacity hard round with no size sensitivity and AA on full. Altering the opacity did not get me the blend I was looking for.

can i get some serious critique please

>>5076928
ear are a bit small, is the chin pointed outwards might need to push it in a little bit, trying looking some eye videos to get a better feel.

>>5076898
because it's just a basic head, you still have to create the proper jawline as well as the curves created by eye sockets and cheeks

Today's studies. Watching Karl Gnauss' course on NMA - it's pretty neat. His course is kinda similar to Huston's, but I still learn something new from it.

>try to draw face from imagination
>draw an abused housewife

>>5077031
because her nostrils are so far from the tip of her nose
among other issues but gambatte anon

>>5077031

>>5077035
Yeah for sure. Man I feel Im mediocre/okay at drawing from ref and copying but imagination feels like where I started a few months back at "Childrens doodle" tier

...thats enough imagination/no ref drawing today

>>5076822
Not that anon, but we know his a coomerfag that gets horny from drawing said belts

Last one for tonight.

>>5076676

i have to take a 6 month break after drawing consistently for about 5 years, what should i expect?

I keep getting distracted while drawing. Ill draw for about 30 minutes, then zone out and shitpost/video/discord and waste time for like 15 minutes before realizing whats happening and getting upset at myself. Its not even that I dont like drawing, Im just addicted to alt tabbing into something else after a while

>>5077153
Disconnects your Ethernet cable

I tried gesture for the first time, I used this vid for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDmyJiVkF94
For the >2 minute gestures what do I do if I "finish" the gesture too quickly? It's like I can't think of any more lines to place, but I'll have like a minute or two left and I have dead time just staring at the reference and my drawing

>>5077219
add in shadows, facial features or whatever compliments the figure

How to improve? Which books or resources should I get to avoid another 4 months? Keep in mind, I'll be attempting one month of drawing to see if I can develop talent or skill despite having no talent

>>5077321
Give up. I don't want you to stop fail posting.

Which is worse? My slime art or my raccoon waifu? Don’t tell me slime shit is worse than furry shit!

>>5077327
Here’s a picture of Cassie Coon from around this time last year. Have I improved?

>>5077321
give up dude, you have no talent, you can't develop talent, there's a reason why not everybody can be Einstein

>>5076780
Nice to see my drawing in the thread pic

>>5077335
did you use ruler?>>5077335

>>5077334
Give me something to draw

>>5077345
A man hopping on one foot, while tipping his hat.

>>5077349
I dont practice from imagination, give a reference or fuck off

>>5077350
>I dont practice from imagination
ngmi

>>5077357
No shit dude, I have no practice with it.
Are you going to help or do you want me to post like that again?

>>5077358
Then practice it, retard.

>>5077362
I just want to get good at the mechanical aspect of drawing before doing that

>>5077350
Okay, first step is learn to find a reference, shitlicker. If you lack the imagination to even come up with something to draw, then at least have motivation to get a reference.

Gib me some criticisms anons

finally finished this thing. any criticisms? i dont know if i like the fog vs no fog better

>>5077338
Yes

>>5077379
give me something to compare to others

>>5077390

Could I get some critique?

4 months anon, I failed again, am I hopeless? am I completely talentless, I want this I need this
Left is from imagination/memory and gross, right is from reference and unfinished

>>5077392
I don't think I can do that even with a ruler.

>>5077477
>no replies
It's over then, I think I'll take a break for now, this hurts
i need talent

>>5077486
anon the guy under you has no replies

>>5077422
I give you props for rendering but you severely lacking in the anatomy/figure department.

>>5077488
do you think this guy is right >>5077334
I wanted to draw takemura from imagination but I failed

>>5077486
Take a break, come back later. Try to let that feeling of wanting to draw come to you again. Hold it, then go all in with it.

Good luck anon

>>5077497
This is not critique but thanks, maybe my drawings are really that bad, it's over
im talentless
I already wasted 4 months grinding for no improvement whatsoever
Look at this shit >>5077477
I failed, ITS Not like a month more is going to make a difference, no matter the practice i dont have the talent

>>5077422
How the hell does anyone get that good at rendering when they can't even sketch a curve without chicken scratching.

>>5077504
>t.never seen wlop draw

>>5077422
Pure fucking talent, bet youve been drawing for 4 months now

>>5077495
>takemura
guy from cyber punk? it looks alright as is, you probably need to draw his hair/facial features to make it convincing. Instead of being autistic use that autism and observe what you haven't learned and learn it, or you know give up and do it later in life since acting like a child is going no where for you.

>>5076908
Idk, the hard round looks fine. Airbrush is too soft and mathematical so it shouldn't really be used for blending.

Takemura from reference>>5077532
Here's another attempt, complete failure
Despite doing 4 months of drawing, why am I a talentless failure?
>>5077031
>>5077052
>>5077095
This guys is full of talent, 4 months and hes way better
Why?
Why am I even drawing again? This hurts
maybe >>5077334 is right, should I give up? remember 4 months and this is what I can do

>>5077575
Wouldn't it be around 5-6 months by now

>>5077580
I drew during 4 months, only now am I getting back into it theres a month where i did nothing related to this, deleted all my resources and destroyed all my drawings paintings too

>>5077345
draw more post less

People ignore my posts because they know im hopeless
Im negative talent, this is unfair
I love art I deserve talent
>>5077605
>>5077575
Fucking answer me

4 months anon here
Since no one replies that means you believe in talentless and should quit, I agree except Im getting a tablet and since art never gave me talent, i wont respect it
Im going to cheat, trace, steal and plagiarize, can I "improve like that?

>>5077384
no replies on this one sadge

>>5077607

Youre the one from the other day? Why are you mocking me like this? Yeah youre talented im not fuck off

>>5077327
great improvement honestly
colour theory game ++++

>>5077663
I dont get it

wish the dude who wont stop shitposting about his lack of talent in EVERY fucking thread would get banned already

>>5077675
No one helps me get better thats what happens
Im not shitposting im posting

>>5077683
no ones responsible for your sorry ass

get better yourself or shut the fuck up already, you think any artist that made it bitched endlessly about how theyre not good?

>>5077689
Im talentless

>>5077699
cool now either stop being a baby and work hard to get better like *countless* "talentless" people have, or rot

>>5077683
stop posting then

>>5077704
No, people like >>5077659
>>5077653
>>5077646
Mock me for being talentless

I had no improvement in 4 months, no talent unlike other anons who started at the same time

>>5077708
Just Draw smt m8.

Is there anything overly wrong with this to fix before i start coloring it?

>>5077710
Talent is pursued interest

>>5077714
Art denied me talent so fuck it, I'm going to steal and trace, I'll finally improve like that.

>>5076780
Give me some critique!

>>5077719
Gmi

>>5077717
Cope
Someone improves faster than you? Talent. Slower? Lack of talent.
4 months and no improvement? Negative talent.

>>5077716
seems like your hand anatomy is weak(?) I don''t know it just seems a bit awkward, post on /asg/ too anon theres a good lining anon there

>>5077729
You replied to their post because you see talent, opposite of mine.

>>5077734
just be talented

>>5077742
Saved, going to upscale modify and trace Lol

>>5077743
Why are you tracing my 1-5 minute studies?

>>5077746
Going to make my 1-5 minute traced work easier, lol

>>5077719

>>5077752
How long have you been drawing?

>>5077754
around 3 months

>>5077754
4 months.
And yes they’re all wasted

>>5077760
Talent is real but I take pleasure in knowing someone way more talented than you exists lol

>>5077765
at least its not you

>>5077767
Cope, remember that youre nothing compared to them.
A twitter artists is all youre going to be Hahahahahhaahha
Hell, Im going to steal the work of people like you, that way I win, revenge against you and art hahahah

>he's "talented"
>literally obsessed with someone that's not
NBA players don't give a shit about kids having fun, it's over for you.

>>5077708
no one's responding to your attempts because they are unfinished, sloppy and no one can tell wtf is going on. next time you should take better photos, stop making your drawings look dirty, post drawing+ref, as well as explain what you were trying to accomplish.

also stop being an insufferable little bitch.

Is it a coplete turd?

>>5077785
I'd rather trace and steal lol
That way I'll get my revenge

>>5077774
did i just witness the transformation of a ngmi to a crab

>>5077790
You’re not asukafag so it’s not a polish turd
Badum tsssss

So I fixed up the hands a bit and did some minor edits like making her head smaller and adding the back of the skirt you'd see between her legs. I also quickly blocked in her hair just so its more legible what's hair and what isn't. Is it at all better?

>>5077821
Stop bullying the schizo, not cool.

>>5077037
I never wanted to fuck a monster until, now.

>>5077321
Dude get on my level, I've been not-improving for a year now and I'm still having a blast.

Here's some chicken scratch. Looks like shit, you say? Too bad, I am having fun with the pencil and nothing can stop me now.

>>5077824
I showed you the answer, but will you accept it?

>>5077865
Your drawings are way better than mine, is that supposed to be inspiring. Nice humblebrag, fuck off
>>5077866
Just draw? You know I can't, you've seen my drawings, you know it's hopeless.
You've been drawing for 3 months ffs, you have to accept talent is real. Do you honestly think I'm hapoy about what I'm going to do? Tracing? NO, I'm not.

Trying to construct the pose into dimensional forms...it’s really hard. Critique please.

>>5077876
You can feel the form.
How long have you been drawing?

>>5076780
im addicted to video games

>>5077866

>>5077898
How long have you been drawing? Besides talent and digital, what are you using?

>>5077884
I started a couple months ago, I think 3 months and I only started taking art seriously a month prior as I really like drawing and painting, especially my interest in drawing coom.

>>5077884
Thanks! Actual artist here. I’ve been drawing ever since I was in elementary but it was when I was I think 17-18 I decided to get more serious. My progress has been pretty on and off. it was last summer I wanted to have a better schudeile for drawing so everyday when I I have time I try to put in the practice.

>>5077901

>>5077905
>I started 17-18 years old
that's worst than my meme post
>>5077903

Congrats on actually making shizo anon want to kill himself more top kek

DORO ANON!

Can I get uuuuuh criticism

>>5077927
Draw her naked

>>5077927

>>5077927
You draw like a dangonrompa fan

>>5077927
Give up.

Cool

>>5077982
thx for the dopamin

>>5076780
have not done and practice in days cause i felt like i was going nowhere. did loomis body practice. i know pose is wonky but would like to know if i at least am not wasting time

>>5076802
>>5076822
thanks man, fixed, though im not sure it looks good, might just remove the straps altogether
any other crits before I tidy it up and colour?

>>5078005
Drawing is never a waste of time :)
Work on your proportions, you can use a stick figure to correctly place and measure the limbs and torso

>>5077790
Its wonky but the body does its job. I think the face is the poorest element.

>>5076898
The chin feels too close in to the chest. Like he's recoiling from a bad smell

Please help something is wrong but I can’t figure out what

>>5078027
Everything unironically

>>5078027
Literally everything

>>5076996
2 minute gestures. It's working! I'm feeling the form better.

Should

This is it for tonight, any more and I'll cry blood
I think I'm getting the gist of it AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Ultimate compliment. I always post it on my IG first.

quickposes warrior

>>5078255
Thanks pal.

while you partied with your "friends", i studied the cone

while you sucked cock, i studied the cone

and now you come to me, begging in /beg/ for advice on the cone?

heh, let me tell you something kid: you're a lifetime away from me

>>5078238
the virgin coom artist vs the CHAD 40k ARTIST. I love it, keep drawing youre on the right track. Watch out for perspective, slightly off on the aquilla on his chest,gorget, and brow of his helmet. Gun looks flat (but that might be intention to keep focus away from it?)

>>5078308
It’s intentional. I haven’t even attempted to draw 40k in 8 years and this was all done without reference. I just whipped this up this morning.

Any tips on the process of studying how to draw heads with faces? How long should I take per head?

I got addicted to office paper and blue pen

Am I on the right track? 45 second figures (gesture?)

>>5078330
I would suggest looking at heads with faces.

Thoughts

>>5078351
You think this is some kind of game?

>>5078337
not bad try to exaggerate the pose more. when drawing gesture we tend to over simplify the pose and lose the gesture all together.

>>5078361
Yes, a game for little children. Let's face it, none of you are Piccasos.

>>5078330
practice lay-ins until your pretty good
lay-ins can be done with some construction technique (loomis head) in the beginning but over time you may just be able to look at the head and get the overall shape you want like steve huston does in his demonstration videos.
you can try to do that in the beginning but beginners often have such trouble with form and proportion that they need the sphere in the loomis head to guide them with the round shapes and proportions
while you're practicing head construction like this, take a break every once in a while and do studies of individual parts of the face, like 20 per day
monday - 20 noses
tuesday - 20 eyes
wednesday - etc.
then at the end of the week put your layins and feature knowledge together in portraits
do this a lot until you get it.
it gets more fun if you have more ability to draw overall. drawing faces can be a real pain if you're a beginner, you may want to start by drawing things that still look good even if it sucks

Thank you

>>5076780
Why does it look so bad

>>5078387
cool

modifying proportions is hard

>>5078452

forgot pic

help
I know the hands are fucked, but what am I not seeing?
Why does the face look like both a man and womens and confuses me?
Why are the boobs so off?
What is wrong with the arms that I dont see?
Im close to giving up on this. I didnt add details or line weight yet to the lower half because of all the shit Im seeing in the top half
Is it the jar?

>>5078566

>Common example

>Lower abdomen is extremely long.

>>5078508
why

>>5078617
The hair style and strong eyebrow is why the face seems like a man face.
The breast looks like it is pointed in a different direction than the torso.
The arms are different sizes, the left side arm is thicker then the other.
This is just the growing pains of learning anatomy and proportions. Look at will weston course video in this link https://mega.nz/folder/gQNgxBbQ#IttTTf7p8b1jRGvaPEIh_A/folder/0VcXjS7Y

>>5078617

It never ceases to amaze me how many people have the equivalent of ‘elbows too sharp would not bang’ opinion when it comes to anatomy. More than one body type exists.

>>5078452
Make the torso longer of the distance between the pelvis and torso shorter.

I've read through loomis fun with a pencil, hampton's desing and invention, gurney's color and light, loomis figure drawing for all it's worth and norling's perspective made easy.
What else should I do?
Also I want to get good at doing back grounds and foreshortening what do I do for that?

>>5078677
>I've read through loomis fun with a pencil, hampton's desing and invention, gurney's color and light, loomis figure drawing for all it's worth and norling's perspective made easy.

then you should be already high int, not beg get out....PYW ? you wont

>>5078640
Thanks
>>5078659
I tried to go for flat bangs but yeah I guess I fucked it up badly

>>5078686
I'm still shit, I've posted my work recently, but here you go again. I still make lots of mistakes with anatomy and I can't do gesture properly.
I also cannot for the life of me draw from imagination.

>>5078671
Why - those are fine.

4 months anon here
I only want to experiment like this, yet I dont have talent
this is unfair

>>5078699
Super cute, anon. Linework is on point too, I'm jealous. Keep it up!

>>5078833
i like the women

>>5078699
>it was him

dude your biggest problem is not feeling the forms at a med-high level you have really basic understanding of forms, reason why most your drawings have these traces of really basic shapes/forms making your limbs look like sausages also formerless fingers and bad foreshortening. You are probable 1 in this pic, you know how are the basic shapes/forms but beyond that you can't remember their details in a 3D plane, 2 will be that and 3 is 2 but with more/harder details, 2 isn't really that hard to understand but you seem to rush your studies rather than being more meticulous with it, you are supposed to think as the example in 2 when you study even the small details.

also use a lot of refs from different angles when you study something in particular, it helps to build that image in 3D.

>>5078833
I dont care for realism
I dont care for loomis or grinding fundies
I just want to attack the page
Yuasa, Basquiat that's what I want to do, I don't feel passion for yet another boring study or realistic art, I dont care for humanistic art

>>5078855
I don't have fun when I'm going towards reality, when I'm drawing things like they are, I know I need fundies otherwise I'll become a muh style fag but I don't care for it, I WANT TO ATTACK THE PAGE

Trying to fix an old drawing, how is it coming? Guess I'll need a background now

Can you guys critique my gesture drawings? I just started reading Hampton and I've been practicing 2 minute gesture drawings for a week.

>>5078878
looks decent, watch vilppu gestures on youtube to get an idea what to focus on when doing gestures drawings.

I keep spending way too long on these, maybe I should keep them to an hour limit. Still don't like the mouth.

>>5078853
please I'm fucking desperate, how do I achieve 3. Just tell me and I'll spend the rest of the year doing what you say trying to get it

started drawing earlier in the year and bounced around all over the place with learning resources from the sticky and /ic/ in general, but something none of the books I tried or video courses is how to draw three dimensional objects. i feel like to be able to draw anything you need to be able to draw any shape from any angle and i've never been able to mentally imagine them
is it just something everyone else does rather easily so it doesn't warrant much of a focus?

I can't feel the form bros

And I give up. This is harder then i thought
>Wanted to draw a shortened figure (goblin).
>Decide to take a normal ref, then modify proportions so its about 4-5 heads tall
>Draw normal ref, its okay
>try to modify
>all sorts of fucked
At least I tried

Finally getting somewhere with my autistic amazon head-body ratio experiments

>>5078853
you should probably be able to draw a simple box before you give advice...

>>5078921
Personally I think its easier to get a feel for form from using hatching. Or just contour lines to force yourself to think about the volume and surface shape of what you are drawing. I'm not an expert by any means. im pretty messy with it no real need to be overly accurate. Just try to follow the surface and think about what's under it

>>5078855
>>5078861
Why not do both? Do realism for an hour and then do whatever you want for another hour. Rinse and repeat.

also
>Yuasa
Very based. I'm in the same boat as you. I really like more loose squiggly styles but focusing just on that and neglecting fundies seems like a major trap

>>5079051
Thanks anon, that looks pretty nice

Anyone have any hacks they wish they knew or legit tutorials for Krita? All I ever find is "WOAH A HUNDRED SHITTY BRUSHES SUCH VARIETY"

how long does it take to get used to a drawing tablet? I just got my first one yesterday and I can't even draw a circle on this shit

>>5079076
a bit, for sure. what will speed it up, other than actually drawing, is doing some lineart exercises. just drawing straight lines, lines with varied weight, circles, elipses, all of that good stuff

>>5079051
imagine the (hairy) sex

>>5079062
Because my "realism" looks like this
instead of something better

>>5079149
>>5079062
or this
no talent for that

>>5079076
literally a year or two depending on how often you use it

Im pretty sure I nearly blacked out listening to an album and drew this. How'd I do?

>>5079216
Face looks okay, your proportions(the hip area) and perspective(the top armor plate) is a little off. Overall not bad keep on grinding.

>>5078900
if you can understand this then you shouldn't have problems to get to 3 which is just 2 but more tedious, 99% of begs do A when their brains try fill the empy voids while rotating 1 , in this case you are only given the front view here, so when you try to turn it around you end with A, when you are presented with 2 its more easier because now you can use 1 and 2 to build A 3D form wich should be like B, C would be 3 from the previous example, it's just like B but more detailed... a lot of books only give front, upper,lower,side views of anatomy or anything but the body is way more complex than that, muscles/bones form change as they move so is important to know their anatomy but that's not enough, if you can have references from multiples angles it whould be easier to see their form like in 2, so let's say you want to study fingers, you will quickly realize that fingers arent straight, they are thicker at the bottom, each finger bent differently and so on, you need refs as 2 and do C for every detail like the ones i mentioned, now do that for every detail in the rest of the body... it's not hard but fucking tedious so long you have refs like 2 and not bullshit like 1( front,side,upp,low views).

>>5079245
what is happening in your image?

Bros,I need advice.I'm also a fellow beginner,This is what I can muster so far.

Any thoutghs?

Probably gonna sound retarded but I don't know what should I practice/study

>>5079261
not bad. what do you what to draw? If it is figure drawing then study anatomy, perspective, and proportions.

Am I supposed to be able to draw straight lines or is my hand supposed to shake, even when I do it in one swift stroke and don’t think about it

>>5079265

I'm also not sure If I'm past the very fundamentals of drawing. All I have really been practicing is that how to draw a straight line(from Peter han's dynamic sketching).

I'm not sure If I can advance to that level.

>>5078699
>when you hate the content but can't deny the ability

>>5079261
perspective
drill head layins/construction
draw simpler things like rocks, trees, etc.
make studies of specific features of the face from different angles like lips, eyes, ears, noses, brow ridges
there's a lot to do, but the most important thing is to have something specific you're focusing on for a bit for each session you draw in
dynamic sketching et al is just to get people who don't draw a lot up to speed quickly. you can do that course - it is a good one - or you could also just draw a lot even if it sucks.
the most important thing is to do studies and learn something specific. instead of practicing 1000 drawings of a full figure, for a time focus on only part of the figure, like their leg, or the shoulder girdle.

Just drew this. All pencil can post inspiration image

>>5079283

>drill head layins/construction

Can you elaborate on that a bit more?

Is the order that I should follow or could I just start with anything(from the list you have provided)?

Posted in last thread, tried to color and idk tell me what you think if you want, like if there are any mistakes, or how to make the colors more appealing

>>5079320
forgot the pic cause im dummy

>>5079216
You forgot the harquebuze.

>>5079245
I already do do something like this, rotating models in csp and drawing, but I'll keep working on it and try to perfect it thank you.

>>5079309
fucking lol'd

>>5079420
I think you are suppose to rotate it in your mind not a program. You want to be able to think in a 3d space, doing simple exercises like rotating cubes in you mind and then drawing them will help.

>>5079309
lmao

>>5079429
are people with aphantasia doomed then?

>>5079417

>>5079447
not really, how bad is yours? Can you not imagine anything in your mind?

>>5079447
Yes, Please Give Up.

>>5079309
the weird nostrils,the small cranium,the small ear,the melting lips,the fingers, that dick,the beck,the pubic looking hair at the top, the shoulders..............theres so much soul in this pic i cant even,..

>>5079447
Yes, but there are less people with that level of aphantasia than people with no hands.

Most people try to imagine a detailed scene with no training whatsoever, fail once, and then give up and conclude they must have aphantasia. That's like trying to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms without studying Chinese, failing, and then concluding that you must be illiterate. Start small, it's a trainable skill.

Whoo! It’s already the weekend!

>>5078876
what did the old version look like? I think with work like this /ic/ deserves to see how far you've come.

This was messy. I gotta study how the arm works when it bends behind someones like this more

>>5079459
can't visualize shapes but can visualize faces
>>5079468
how would you start training it?

>>5076780
I’m really sloppy with my values, even though I try to go in stages I still get tunnel vision by going to dark or adding too much detail.

Is it just something that comes with mileage?

Not /beg/

>>5079501
you can start simple, imagine a tetris piece and rotate it a bit draw what you imagined. Work yourself to more complex shapes and figures from there.

>>5079513
Why does this make me very tense?

>>5079511
Yeah it is something I also have problems with, you can try the 10 values exercise that might help.

>>5079501
Not very qualified to give advice (perma-/beg/ at >>5077865 here), but the way I did was imagining something simple, getting a clear picture of it, then putting it on paper. Lines at angles, 2D planes, mentally "rotating" planes and stretching them across the horizon, then cubes and rotating cubes. I'm getting started on clothes and folds. The drawing part is essential, it fades easily if you only imagine it, but it also helps to e.g. look across the street and imagine the perspective lines.

You can speed through the Drawbox exercises, they help a lot. Keep in mind that Drawabox is a cult and the website will give you strange instructions like "you MUST use this specific kind of pen" or "you MUST commit to and complete each exercise before proceeding" or "you MUST loudly chant 'glory to the box eternal, hallowed be its edge, hallowed be its corner, death to the noncuboid heretic, Earth has 4-corner simultaneous 4-day time cube within single rotation' before each drawing session". Ignore these warnings, you can do a little bit of each exercise to understand the principles and move on.

I blame the ref, no idea how to draw uggs

>>5079493
This was the old one. I decided to try a vintage horror comic style because I couldn't decide how to color it, and also I can't fucking paint
Anyway thanks, that's a good compliment

>>5077790
Shoulders are too narrow and look a little flat. Booba needs a slight adjustment. Head could be a little better too.

>>5079544
Get a real human next time.

>tfw everything I draw has a different art style
I have literally no idea where to go when making finished pieces. Not even sure whether to go for anime or western style really.

>really fucking want to do art digitally now

how do i de-sperg?

>>5078452
Tried more

I'm having the hardest time transferring angles/lines to paper, or getting the perspective right when it comes to drawing from reference. I don't know if it's just because of my drawing setup or what.

So I'm just trying to draw a Vespa, for shits and giggles, and I can't even get the cube shape of the back in perspective correctly. Even measuring the angle with my pencil, or using my knowledge of perspective as a whole.

I was trying to draw the image from my computer screen. Any tips on making this easier? For the life of me, even with reference my perspective/angle transfer is always way off.

>>5079517
Thanks. Yeah no I wasn't posting for advice, I was using an example of something I've done to illustrate my 2 cents to the other anon

How good do I have to be to FEEL FORM like this?

Haven't tried drawing anything since I was a kid. Know it's shit but wanted to share with you autists.

>>5078876
With how common it is to see a vampire wrapping his cloak around some one I'm surprised I've never seen it done with a bat. Even more surprising is that I have never seen a nun wrapped in a scene like this. Really is a good subject.

You should draw some very ancient ruins in the background, so old that you can barely tell the difference between it and the forest. This will give the bat an old God feel.

Why is line art so hard guys? Its the simplest after all.

>>5079516
because your idea of "decent" is actually shit

>>5079736

>>5079730
Rendering: You do 84822 things. You do well at 24741 of them. The remaining 60081 things might be bad, but the good you've done can mask them.
Lineart: You do one thing. People are hardwired to be very, very good at judging that exact thing, because evolution really wants you to tell apart human faces and bodies. If it's bad, alarm bells start ringing the moment you look at it.

>>5078904
learn basic shapes, perspective and foreshorten anon

>>5079544
Loomis bros?

>>5079480
Thanks.

Very new at this; my focus here was shading but also just experimenting. Traced the form off of the reference (have since learned this is a very bad thing to do).

>>5077132

>>5079834
practice observation and drawing what's actually there before bothering with color and rendering

>>5077670
did I just read someone have a mental breakdown lol what the fuck

Are the Proko courses the closest thing to Loomis in video form? How much stuff does Loomis cover that Proko doesn't and vice versa?

>>5076898
The perspective is all fucked up.
You drem the torso from a lower angle, while the head ist depicted like you'd be looking at it pretty much straight on

>>5079700

>>5077742
damn nice stuff anon I'm jealous

i feel like the proportions are way off in this but i cant tell. help?

Cringe and useless thread, used to get some replies for my posts now I'm literally ignored

no need to get upset friend, this thread is dying just post your drawing when the new thread get made.

>>5078899

>>5080020

>>5079804
Loomis is a meme. Loomis is meant to teach absolute beginners how to think in 3d and how to do construction. Rest of his stuff generally sucks unless you only want to draw fashion models with a 50's aesthetic or youre pro and need more stuff to experiment with

>>5080345

what do the moon runes say?

>>5080360
Just by looking at it maybe study doing backgrounds. No humans, animals, etc, just images of rooms or landscapes. The background in this piece doesn't feel right given the light source. How light affects the room and the sheets and the pillow.

>>5080378
Yeah, I've had a lot of trouble doing backgrounds. If anyone has resources for it that would be great.

>>5080360
Smol hands.

i redid a old picture when i was studying morpho but went to loomis after. what do you think anons.

don't know why head looks smaller in pic but aaaa hhhahahaha

>>5080484
> Nice Ref
The morpho one looks better I think.

>>5080484
The head is smaller because his shirt is covering more of it on the right pic. His arm is higher up than in the ref and left pic.

>>5080501
really?
i think it looks cleaner and missing the twist.

>>5080503
ah. thanks for info

I think I've finally blocked in a rough draft of my most ambitious piece yet.

Probably, definitely, way beyond my skill level.

Detail next.

So how mobile ribcage actuallly is? Should I just view it as a rigid carcass of bones or is there some flexibility to it? Any sources and examples?

>>5078059
More grind.

>>5080484
You need to work on proportion. The legs are too long, and I get the feeling that you're not starting off at the head because proportions usually use the head as the metric to measure distances between body parts.

thoughts?

I tried using noise filters and pixel averaging ones but it always looks like shit.
