>>5218675
just look at the sticky or the artbook thread and find a book that you like.

Should I cipy my favorite artists and study fundies at the same time if I want to draw in a stylized art style?

>>5218713
dissecting why things look the way they do is the most fundamental skill, so yes

>>5218698
everything for profit

Haven't done a portrait in forever

Is there an apply-image feature for vector layers in clip studio paint? I just want to copy all my layers to 1 layer wile keeping all the old ones

Any critique?

Ok /ic/ I just got in the game today and followed the sticky’s advice.

Finished the ab study from 5 days ago. The Texas storm killed my power so I had to wait.

Can someone help me figure out why this looks so muddy as you move away from the head and left arm? Are my values not separated enough?

>>5218902
I should also add that this way way more fun than I expected.

Doodle of a man in flight just for fun

>>5218911
I've had this same problem.
You want to make clean edges.
Soft edges where there is light, hard edges where there is dark, while following the shape of the object.
And unless the outlines are getting hit by strong light or because of the material being highly reflective, you want to always have a hard edge.

Study. I think im getting better at value but hair kills me and so do clothes. They never look real

>>5219276
Your proportions are off and your characters feel flat. If your characters don't feel real on their own they won't fit into the background, also there isn't a lot of colour matching happening. Individual elements looking good don't equate to a good composition. Design your background and characters to work together. Cool concept though and the clothing folds are really nice.

>>5219276
Also your use of atmospheric perspective is good but don't rely on brushes to add your detail. There's a very artificial look going on with the grass and bushes.

Actually draw the hands

What is the usual workflow for painting backgrounds and landscapes? Should I paint and render the objects further back first? Or maybe paint everything and render everything at the same time?

Drawing together

What's an easy subject to start off with, something I could do well/worse without lack of a technique coming into play, and is interesting
For now I only find girls interesting

>>5219426
>Which ones?
any will do, but I recommend dab
>Do you think I can become good at drawing?
if you are not disabled, there is no reason why you can't get good. even then there still some that can get good despite of it
Have you seen my drawings?
yes, every here already saw it
>How to enjoy drawing?
I think you can theoretically enjoy anything if you reframe it in the right way. but why would you want to draw if you don't enjoy it?

>>5219438

>Are you fully sure?
no, it is just based on personal experience, but like I said any course will do, any course should push you forward, unless that is like something really bad.
>I've heard it could be considered a trap, any other resource?
I think that it gets a bad rep because people autistically draw boxes even tho he tells you to not to

I would recommence focusing in one thing at the time, after you finish one course you find the next one.

actually you're really fucking talented whats your discord id?

I'm having serious problems where I get stuck on one sketch and can't move on to other parts I need to improve on. I can spend the entire day making the same mistake of duplicating a sketch that doesn't look right, and to keep wanting to fix it instead of just doing something else

Sometimes when I do move forward and actually start the real work, it just doesn't look right because the foundation is shit and then I just go back to fixing the sketch only to spend even more time wanting to tweak those parts

I've tried using a timer, taking short breaks and figure models, but it still hasn't made the problem go away and its getting to the point of being completely unproductive

TL;DR Is there any tips to stop overthinking and gain some confidence to work? I know art is a long game of improvement where mistakes are necessary to grow, so any advice would be appreciated thanks

>>5219544
wow, girl? girl? discord id?

iPad almost out of power.

>>5219751
I deal with this a lot, it helps me to look at finished pieces with esthetic purposes only, while practice is more for the sake of learning and improving.

So, realistically speaking, I'd try to do /only/ polish poses that I'm comfortable with or that I have lots of references of. As long as its okay you'll start to build confidence and take on bigger tasks.

I guess this didn't look so bad, I wish I could do more.

I haven't seen anything related to construction yet I'd like to know if there is any part in particular I fucked up here and I'd like something to help with placing objects on the head and the perspective of it

I tried, im that cardboard box anon I dont know shit

I've been reading Drawing on the right side of the brain and have been doing the contour exercises but don't really feel like I'm getting into the R-mode stuff she talks about. Some of my contours look okay and others look fucked (which doesn't bother me much) but I feel like it's taking me a longass time and she says very explicitly to not move on to the next segment until you feel it. Should I just keep going with it for a bit longer?

whenever i tried adding lineart it just looked flat(er)

>>5219826
lol I love your work

>>5218653
push yourself to do those things? if it is so hard, you can use the first 2 minutes rule from atomic habits, where you commit yourself to do just the first 2 minutes of an activity. like with book you commit to read one page. the idea is to get used to starting.

how does this look? im kinda meh about he face bit overall i like how it turned out

>>5219746
>tells him to finish a course because that is how courses work
>he agree and post an old exercise, and refuse to do anything else
I see

>>5219891
Thanks. Sometimes I wonder if I’m just tricking myself into thinking I’m improving.

>>5219924
Heres my attempt.
I've found that looking for certain landmarks on the head helps a lot. One of particular importance imo is the < shape where the cheekbones and the brow intersect. You can then draw a line around the head from there.
I think the loomis head is kind of useless for anything beyond establishing the initial orientation. I suggest marco buccis planes of the head video series - I learned a great deal from that.

What happened to the western beg tier comic guy ,cant find the thread did he finish the comic ? IS THERE PAY ?

>>5219924
Try drawing a few skulls, that shit makes way more sense when you think about what the planes actually correspond to instead of learning some esoteric rules just because daddy Proko said so

I have a question, would it be cheating if I traced a photo of myself to make a drawing?

>>5220658
There is no such thing as "cheating". You own the rights to that photo. That being said if you need that as a crutch you'll only get a mediocre result that people will just see through. it won't teach you much either.

>>5220658
The only one you're cheating is yourself.

>>5220658
As much as it would if you used someone else's, so no.
Who gives a shit, ethics are for people with jobs.

>>5220751
I understand, I think I will continue with the good and old construction, tracing makes the drawing soulless.

Im trying to experiment with layer modes more, shading patterned clothing is a lot easier with multiply, but I dont really understand what some of the other layer types do. I used Add (glow) in some of the areas in light, but im not sure how much more useful this is than doing it manually without the layer mode.

im a newfag to perspective, is this one point perspective? did you make this all up starting with the vanishing point, or is this based on an image?

Is New Masters Academy any good? I've been doing a lot of drawing from life and looking to supplement with video courses, and I know Vilppu and Huston are recommended here frequently.

nope, imagination, that's why the shelf looks wonky

>>5220973
>everything is based on the red grid
what does that mean? what is the grid for?

feel like i could have made lighting better.

>>5220980
looks good to me i caan feel the form

>>5220980
Ayy lmao

>>5220980
i think the lighting looks good its just the structure and form is fucked up. the perspective on the head/eye dont look right. your face you made sucks but the good news is your lighting isnt the problem and looks pretty decent to me.

>>5220992
>>5221000
yeah i messed up her face. she was a hard model. it went all wrong.

>>5221015
niga her nose is growing sideways out of her face, how is that side receiving any light when the rest is pitch black? why is her eyesocket trying to crawl off her face? slow down on the shading and go back to construction again

i can never seem to get past the blocking in colors stage of painting. i know these rocks deserve some rendering, just not sure how to proceed. should i work on this some more?

>>5221018
okay hows this?

>>5221067
better in terms of what i wrote, but there's plenty more wrong. reconstruct the whole head - the nose is too short, the mouth is too far down but simply moving it up would make the chin too big. it also doesn't connect properly to the nose - where is the center line? it skews to one side. the eye socket is better placed but not constructed correctly, looks like it's protruding from her face. the forearm i'm sure you can guess is too long and the upper arm isn't foreshortened properly so it looks too short. why is her head so big? and by flooding half of it with pure back you've managed to avoid having to accurately construct the rest. like i said, take a step back from the black and focus on accurate drawing, THEN put light on it, otherwise these issues will persist

alright, thank you. i'm stopping. at this point it's just a polished terd.

Sorry its unfinished but can someone figure out why whenever i draw older peoples eyes they look uncanny? I try to do the shape thing but i fuck that up somehow

>>5221110
arent old people suppose to look uncanny?

>>5220976
In one point perspective horizontal lines go hotizontal, vertical lines go vertical and depth lines go to the vanishing point.
The grid in picrel is kinda useless because i made it without respecting perspective (there should be a lot more horizontal and vertical lines going to the vanishing point in the depth dimension), it was just a sketch thing to make me feel the illusion of depth on the canvas. When learning perspective you want to set up a proper grid tho, you can even use blender if you don't want to follow all that Robertson autism.

at this point it may as well be anything.

>>5221147
I think its nice. You may want to fix her philtrum though. Looks a bit off.

Does anyone know any tips/tutorials/whatever on character consistency?

Trying Krita. Attempt 1. Clipping masks. I still have no idea how Ina can easily fill lineart with one colour, and then never worry about spilling outside the lineart while adding flat colours. It takes her 6 seconds. I took 1 hour.

>>5221211

>>5220984
man these are hilarious. make an imgur gallery for me.

>>5221240
penis for a hand might be a good start

>>5221208
Honestly if your drawings don't "look like" the character you're trying to draw it's most likely because of basic mistakes in the construction of the drawing itself (eyes not in the right place, skull not the right size or shape, etc). Keeping a character consistent is mainly just about keeping the proportions the same. But you need to have a correct drawing to start with, otherwise it'll never look right.

>>5221238
Study hips and glutes

I tried the bobby chiu painting exercises. Crits/tips on how to improve?

>>5221262
another one

>>5219686
I suggest you just flat out leave for two weeks. Bring a few books on what you want to study and get a hotel room in a neighboring city and some food. If you don't have the funds for that, camp out in the woods. I did this and when I came back, I didn't even have to try to stay motivated, I just kept doing it out of habit.

>>5221235
How do I put grey withing the lineart so i can clipmask colours? Can I with one grey clipmask separately hair, eyes, skin etc? I honestly am lost in this. I have no idea what I am doing. I only know it needs to be done.

>>5221293
you will need to make a separate fill for objects you want to separate, doesn't matter if it's the same grey as long as it's on a different layer

as for filling the lineart, either do it manually with a round brush or make sure the lines are closed (no holes in the outline) and then you can do it with a magic wand selection

>>5219861
cute!

How can I improve?

amigonnamakeit bros?

>>5221310
Different layer. I see. So I... copy the lineart layer, put the copy underneath the lineart, fill it with something, clipmask it, and then I add those flat colours and then clipmask them as well. Each flat colour is it's own layer. Do I understand the process correctly? I am figuring what that vtuber ina is doing, since she did one video in krita and is obviously professional.

>>5221400
no. the fill is just a flat shape, the lineart is separate. lineart on top - filled "silhouette" underneath - flats clipmasked to this filled silhouette. if you copy the lineart, you'll end up having two instances of the lineart overlaying each other.

So?

>>5221245
>But you need to have a correct drawing to start with, otherwise it'll never look right
I have one that's definitely how the character looks in my mind and some others that look more stylized but that I still like, the rest just look kinda the same but still different :/ guess I'll have to >just draw

I want to oversize the legs for coom reasons but think i over did it, and her right leg looks jank for somereason i cant see with my /beg/eyes

>>5221467
This is exactly what I am looking for. So somewhere in krita I should be able to find silhouette option. Odd they never mentioned it anywhere in tutorials.

>>5221461
drawboxpilled

>>5221435
two right hands

>>5221503
reeeeeeeeee
there is no silhouette option, either you block in that grey shape manually undearneath the lineart, or you make a selection with the magic wand, which will only work assuming your lines are closed and don't break anywhere (otherwise it will select inside the lineart too and break the shape.) if the lines are closed, you magic wand outside them, invert the selection (probably something like select -> invert), and then ON A NEW LAYER UNDERNEATH YOUR LINES, fill it with grey or any colour

anon please my brain is tired

For once I didn’t draw the princess getting molested by living slime or enslaved by goblins. Something feels off with the face, though. Maybe because for once she’s not being drawn scared? Or maybe it’s too big for the head?

>>5221884
I think the torso is okay but there is something weird with the hip and legs, can you see it?

>>5221815
Thank you for the specific feedback. Damn. I thought the smirk was the one thing about the face that worked. I tried redrawing that, too, but now I’m really struggling with it, and her right hand is driving me nuts!
>>5221849
No, he was right about it. The nose bridge and the eyelid especially. The smirk was debatable.
I can’t offer any advice. My influences are comic books of the 80’s and 90’s, some alternatives like Jeff Smith’s Bone in particular, but also Todd McFarlane’s shit. And of course Disney movies of that era. I’ve never grinned fundies, read loomis, or even studied anatomy. I rarely even use references.All I’ve done for the past two years is “just draw.”
I am the uberbeg.

>>5221884
something like that

Any tips for draw eyes with angle?? crit and fixed are accepted

>>5221938
I knew something was wrong, but I could not see it. Thanks.

request I took for /a/

>>5221947
Who's that?
Also, blog?

>>5220877
beg here, her calf muscles tho

>>5221944
there are more things wrong that i didn't draw over, the hips should be wider and the ribcage smaller imo, the arm looks weird and her far shoulder is pretty big, the breasts don't sit properly on the ribcage, you copped out on the feet, etc.

do some more studies and keep going

>>5221208
just drawing the character a lot, while paying attention to the proportions/position of the facial features should do the job. maybe you are being a perfectionist? drawing perfectly on model is impossible.

How improve?

>>5221983
good sketch. dedicate time into better lines,details. see how far you can go. base your improvement off the last step you take further form the last.

would love some feedback

>>5221986
use reference. How is she leaning her hand against hair? Is it made out of stone? Think about stuff when you apply it.

Generally I think you sketching ability is good. If you used reference it would tremendously improve.

>hiding fingers
>edgy limbs
imo this has no appeal. use soft edges on the elbows, hands, etc.

critique please

>>5221236
nice muscles! not sure about the biceps, the bulge looks a little too big for an extended position, I can't find a good reference to confirm it tho

>>5221240
hands, learn them.

>>5221984
Will keep working anon-senpai

>>5221999
use different color outlines for each asset instead of using green for the entire model. good sketch.

>>5221939
>Any tips for draw eyes with angle??
you need to improve you line control first

>>5221993
i used a reference for the general gesture, but stopped looking at it after the underdrawing was done because I intended to change pretty much everything about the clothes and body. do you have tips on how to find individual references in situations like this? should i just avoid changing things from the reference while learning, doing studies of the materials and poses and body parts by themselves until i can replicate them from imagination in any orientation?

>>5222037
>copy right photo
yeah stop using google search engine. Not going to say it here, but there's greener grass.

>how to find
It's a formula of luck. But stay off google and open a folder for reference if you haven't. Copy images at any moment you're captivated.

>>5221986
the ear feels like it's going for a walk

Hey could I get an opinion on which styles looks the best please, trying to figure which looks the best

Any critique for any of my recent doodles would be appreciated. I already know all the hands and feet I draw are abysmal but what else should I know?

>>5222065
they're all fundamentally busted, pick any one and start improving

>>5222074

>>5221973
>maybe you are being a perfectionist? drawing perfectly on model is impossible.
I am, it's maybe because it's a realistic looking character, whenever I draw it, it comes out as a stylized version of it, those versions don't look bad but not only do they tend to look different from one another, they're also not as I'd like them to look

>>5222077

>>5222079

>>5222080

>>5222075
Could you elaborate on the why, I'm not sure on how to improve?

>>5222085
stop drawing anime for a year. Go find some models and draw them during your intended year of improvement. Pyw

>>5222074
head slightly top heavy but maybe a stylistic choice, mouth and nose too far down makes the chin look stupidly small and the nose too long, the eyes are a bit off, the connection between the head/neck/torso feels unnatural partly because of the strange angle of the head, so try to find some ref if you can. from this angle i'm sure we'd also see the other ass cheek somehow but the leg seems to keep going up, so figure out that connection aswell. i love the line quality on the far leg but it's completely missing everywhere else - the hair is almost pushing chikin scratch and the face has a completely different line quality to the rest. if the whole thing was consistently like that leg it would be 10x more convincing

>>5222090
Okay so draw realism using models gotcha, thank you for the advice

>>5222097
yeup. study that hard and then break the rules.

>>5222078
imo the only thing that matters is if the character is recognizable or not, as long you can achieve that you should be fine. don't worry too much about it.

>>5222081
her right forearm is too long and that hand is too small

>>5222091
looking at all the other images you posted after that one, you still have some construction problems and your anatomy is missing in places. more study more application gogogo

>>5222081
it is kinda flat isn't it? I mean like shouldn't we see more than just the side plane of their shoes/feet? like we can't see the top/bottom/front/back, just the side.

>>5219834
This is starter lvl not /beg

finishing up the first week of brent eviston's drawing course

I drew my puppy

I've been trying to learn to draw on and off again for several years and I don't feel like I've learned anything whenever I try. A friend told me to just start with Fun With a Pencil but I've been doing the first few exercises and it doesn't feel like I'm doing anything right.

revisited this after going through my gallery. last time i posted it it had issues with the foreshortening and there was a figure reaching up at the bottom that i omitted. any major issues?

What is descending towards her?

>>5221536
Sorry, I am new.

>>5222228
your puppy looks like this???
>>5222321
a big pair of goblin balloons
>>5221536
so where is the silhouette option?

>>5220877
>>5220419
based skullgirls fan. blog?

do these boxes look alright?

>>5219834
how are their faces so sexy

Had some time to finish the sketch and linework, for the most part. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to add and finish colours.

Anything standing out as a glaring error? Chick is meant to be fairly massive, atleast head and shoulders taller than the guy.

>Still need to get better at faces.
>Still need to get better at expressions
>Still need to get better at hands.
>More style and anatomy studies needed.
>Hair studies needed.
>Shit, I forgot her braided pony tail.

>>5221872
Better?

>>5221874
I didn't realise but once you said something. Anyway I upped it's size a bit.

Had this idea of a Lich and her necromancer niece for a while. Decided to draw them down.

>>5220922
I like this. Comfy.

>>5219861
Is she supposed to be chubby?

Is there any guide or technique that you guys use to position the eyes correctly? Specifically when they're viewed from an angle? I feel like I spend an unnecessarily long amount of time just trying to position the eyes right which makes me lose the bigger picture.
I've been trying to experiment with an "eyemask" guide (pic related), but I don't think I'm using it properly as I end up trying to correct the eyes for God knows how long anyway.

Hello, pls feedback.

>>5222607
I do it like this. It's probably wrong as fuck though

>>5222641
you need to work on your observation more before anything else

I am having problems even copying a photo reference of a face in a sketchy manner. I keep getting the proportions messed up.
Am I supposed to carefully measure in some way, or just practice guesstimating the location of features and erasing when they look bad, or..?

How do I fix this? I used right pic as pose reference but I really messed up with hip placement

drawing basic studies is fucking boring
tried making it more fun by drawing zhonglis hair, but that didnt help
is there no other way than just to endure it?

>>5222695
keys to drawing
also stop drawing faces. they're among the hardest things to draw since any minute inconsistency will be immediately noticed.

does when you “know anatomy” mean you know everyshape of the body and being able to draw it without any references? if so, then studying anatomy is just remembering all the shapes?

here is my study i try to “box” the figure from photo. what do you think guys?

>>5222605
Yeah

How do you actually use the hard round brush? I can't use it for doing the sphere exercise for example.

>>5222321
excrement

>>5222607
I just use loomis and intuition, I hope that with time I will be able to rely more on intuition and less on construction.

>>5222754
the biceps connects to the arm, the way you drew it, looks like it is connecting to the ribcage.

>>5222931
??

>>5223223
Oh. Ok. Thanks...
