First ever drawing, what can I improve? I just looked at the picture and tried to replicate it.
I have ZERO experience and dunno if I should go art school or just dick around with pencil all day to learn art.

I want to draw tall Amazonian muscular women

Draw 1000 more amazons and then come back. 90% of your issues will resolve by then

You may start by drawing primitives, download these books from here
>http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/
Start with the book called Fun with a Pencil while at the same time study perspective made easy by Ernest Norling. Familiarize yourself with the sphere, cube, and cylindrical forms and how to draw these forms in perspective.

humans are the hardest thing to draw so obviously its gonna take a lot to really learn how to draw them

you're gonna need to learn fundamentals, not one of them, all of them. perspective, anatomy, lighting, etc... everything

copy art you like, follow along with demonstrations and even draw from imagination

just keep drawing

Why doesn't he just rotate his reference in his head. With the help of construction and perspective, to use a different view point. Bang, different pose completely and it's not tracing.

happyboy is a renowned tracer who @'s artists to tell them he copies their work, that's just another example of his cancerous need for attention, and a great example of pot calling the kettle black

>> No.6128561 [DELETED] 

>>6128532
Happyboy is a nigger, that nigger should just go down-low for a year or so and try again without the tracing instead of still using this stupid name and being bullied out of every art oriented place for being a massive nigger, I mean, why does he even try to still use this handle and persona, what he is exactly trying to achieve even? No one in their right mind would commission or pay for for a subscription for his patreon and he clearly only cares about the money, so why does he keeps this shit up and just doens't try again when people forget he even existed instead of keeping it alive by being a fat piece of shit all the time and feeding even more hate against him? It doesn't make any sense to me.

some sort of supervillain complex, I think he is genuinely frustrated at his skill and creativity (as is any artist) and instead of dealing with it for himself he points the fingers at others. he's making himself out to be some sort of revolutionary genius for saying "nothing is original" when I think anyone with half a brain knows anything we make has to be derivative. he seems too proud to ever admit he's wrong, those twitter comment chains show it, so he's likely too proud to just start again. he could still trace like I'm sure many popular artists already do but he doesn't need to be constantly talking and pointing fingers about it.
I'm not saying this ironically, but I think he's a great kid from the few youtube videos I've watched, he is just misguided on how to focus his efforts as an artist. like one of those kids that can only "communicate" by teasing and making fun of others because they've had no other kind of interaction themselves. for his sake he might grow out of it eventually.

if this is your first drawing ever and are not experienced in the fundamentals like anatomy and perspective you are genuinely talented and should keep drawing ! I'd suggest you to get scott robertson's "how to draw" and study from there.

>Happyboy is a nigger, that nigger should just go down-low for a year or so and try again

Doesn't matter if he were to "go down-low for a year" and try again because even if everyone were to forget he exists there is still 1 person keeping tabs which is you, apparently. So even if he left and came back a year, 2, 3 years you'd still be at his front porch. I have seen this happen for dozens of people, myself included. Unfortunately he already pasted his IRL face all over his Youtube channel so he can't drop out and come back in if he want's to be a personality. So the only thing he can do is to live with it.

Don't Listen to:

What you need to do is work on overcoming symbol drawing and start actually measuring your refence image.

For example, the angle the right leg is bent doesn't correspond to the refence image. Next time, get a pencil and use it to figure out it's trajectory. The right arm is way off proportion and length.

Look up symbol drawing on google I am too lazy to explain.

good luck anon!

What I've been doing recently is drawing 3D shapes by starting with the cross contour lines instead of the contour lines. After I have draw the cross contour lines I want, i draw in the contours. I don't have anything to show because I draw on paper and I'm currently away from my stuff.

Birdie drawing I did a while back (w/ref). I’ve been mostly grinding Bridgeman so my knowledge has improved since then but I have a grasp of drawing the body in space. I wasn’t shitting on your drawing though, the forms just weren’t nearly as 3d as they could have been

it only took like 6 minutes. i wanna practice i can't waste too much time trying to help random/beg/ anons. but at the same time i felt this anon was genuine without getting any good visual feedback so i wanted to help(he only got book recommendations and i hate reading so i thought he might be the same)
pic related took like 30 min actually trying to draw and not explain concepts. i think it looks better :(
