This stuff is hard

how do I draw hair? also, other tips or whatever are welcome

How do you know what to draw

>>6146216
here's a larger ver, i didn't notice it was that small

wip study

Gonna force myself to read Loomis cover to cover, actually do the exercises, and post them here.

Fun With a Pencil: Part 26

Copied Loomis' running and jumping man example, focused on speed rather than accuracy and shaved my time down to 12ish minutes for this group. My work still looks messy as fuck, but at least the motion still came through a little.

Next up is the epic saga of Doohinkus getting his shit slapped by Gashouse Nellie.

Just started digital and I'm pretty bad so far, anybody got any tips for improving my linework or colouring?

>>6146219
For some reason, this Eminem looks like Trump to me

What am i doing wrongs? what are your thoughts of whats off?

>>6146216
Just find a tutorial on how to draw hair. There are plenty out there. Pose is a bit undefined but can be tightened up. The shadow wouldn't cling to the figure like that.

>>6146217
You just draw what you want to see drawn

>>6146235
Try varying brushes and line widths, get a feel for the tools, see how they look.

>>6146319
Looks okay? I would say the construction of the legs below the knee is where things get dicey, but that's not too bad either.

>>6146319
just some slight trouble with foreshortening, it's not that bad honestly

How is my perspective anon
>>6146319
Tits. you must get the volume of tits right

Practicing digital today cuz I'm mostly drawing traddie nowadays
>>6146319
The hips are too narrow I think
>>6146235
Find a brush you feel comfortable with and just doodle. Move up to colours and whatnot when you're comfortable with the tablet

>>6146325
>The shadow wouldn't cling to the figure like that.
what do you mean?

>>6146338
Looks good.

>>6146430
From the way you've drawn the shadow, the light source is somewhere in front of the figure. The shadow would project onto the wall and corner, away from the figure. The cans on the floor should also cast a shadow if the figure is casting a shadow.

Any of you tried this ? Does any objects or natural stuffs follow the perspective rules ? For example, imagine an ancient ruins, does every rock need to be parallel to each other ?

>>6146480
This just shows you and whoever made that don't understand how your own eyes work. Ffs what's wrong with people here

Fuck drawing from reference
all my homies draw from imagination learn no new information and stagnate
>>6146471
Thanks

okay niggers i am fucking fed up with this BULLSHIT
>ink line
ok
>have to redraw over the same line
ok
>do it
not ok
it ends up looking all jagged and bumpy and shitty and it fucks up the whole look of the drawing making it look like deviant art beg tier coomer cringe nigger shit
thoughts?

>>6146514
Learn to pull a line

>>6146514
>deviant art beg tier coomer cringe nigger shit
I fail to see the problem

>>6146514
Big lines outside, smaller lines inside. For me, it helps if my sketch had large lines low opacity. For inking brush Use a U in the pressure sensitivity setting with opacity settings set to pretty high.

>>6146532

>>6146548
When doing such paintings, is it better to start with the darker areas or the lighter ones ? Asking about the face part of the paint.

>>6146562
Is it not our duty to offer critique?

explain

>>6146571
nigger you perlying to regular attentionwhore

>>6146382
Really nice

>>6146576
Why is the piss green

nyaaa puekes on your carpet

>>6146562
Fucking this
>why won't it go away
>they keep feeding it (you)s
It doesn't want critiques, it wants to shit the board up.

>>6146591
Thanks :)
>>6146609
I've seen your drawings and really enjoy the style, but it might be time to try something more complicated (ironic coming from someone that just posted some simple studies)

>>6146230
Gonna force myself to read Loomis cover to cover, actually do the exercises, and post them here.

Fun With a Pencil: Part 27

>>6146569
When I do painting I smear the "dark" and then apply the lights. If you want I could try uploading my process. But it's berry unorthodox since I follow no books, or artists. I use no undersketch and just build.from shapes

>>6146172

>>6146697
Nice bear, dude.

>>6146684
>>6146686
Anon, tits have weight and when there is nothing to hold them, they tend to move away from each other

Anyone can give other exerice to change a little bit from shapes drawing, I'm kind of tired of it + anything to say on these (pic related and >>6146467 and >>6146170 )?

>>6146747
He never had sex anon, how could he know this?

>>6146756
Here's an exercise: find a picture that you like and try to duplicate it.

>>6146768
And?

hi, someone posted a warmup template a while back that really helped me get warmed up before doing other drawing. i doubt i'll find the same one (it had a bunch of lines and ellipses) but could people post whatever warmup templates they have?

>>6146769
Ok I'll do that. But do you mean a perfect copy or should I try to put "my own" over it? What's the next step after?

>>6146697
Oh man, cool bear, i like it.

>>6146774
mi amigo, te lo tengo

>>6146784
the latter I assume, and It would be best to try to do as photorealstic as you can

Sorry dodson, i failed this project.

>>6146686
Nice coom.

>>6146590
Maybe the painting in real life doesnt have fucked up contrast, but your camera captured it very de-saturated. I suggest to either get better at photography or getting used to slight digital editing to restore the color balance in digital RGB space. Like look at that black censor bars. They are dark blue/gray on my monitor.

Also the blue background deserved some sort of texture or shading. Common in real world painting you just dip the brush into any other color, one stroke and you get interesting texture.

>>6146571
>>6146556
I dont understand why are anons so mad about one anon posting low effort (but so high unique style a lot of people instantly recognize their style). Is it jealousy?

>>6146548
Looks good but why are you shitposting on /ic INSTEAD OF FINISHING IT?

>>6146514
You forgot to PYW anon...

>>6146480
Linear perspective is literally a "subclass" of linear algebra. It deals with projecting three dimensional space into two dimensions space. Every single software like video games or blender runs the same equations. And these very accurately describe how we (humans) perceive space around us. So yeah. It works everywhere. On everything. Even on round objects like balls, even on blob of smile devoid of a single continuous surface.
>tried this?
Tried what? Marking vanishing points for every single surface in painting? Thats a little overkill. Usually you need just 1, sometimes up to three. Coincidentally i am just now at 1point perspective in keys to drawing book.

Second wannabe Hearthstone illustration of the week

Easily distracted eel and her rider, render time tomorrow

>>6146908
i am taking coffee, hope it helps

crabbing all my way through morpho one page at a time

>>6146471
Hm... So you meant the head? It does make sense, since her head is elevated. The shadow was something I threw at last second, along with the cans, I'm still thinking of what to add there.

>>6146319
no gesture

>>6146548
you need to work on your values, do this but only black and white

>>6146686
oof

>>6146886
gmi

>>6146934
i suggest taking a figure drawing class instead of just copying the book.

>>6146881
> as photorealstic as you can
Hmmm I never went for the photorealistic stuff but I'm gonna try it.

Was watching Edge of Tomorrow(damn good movie) and tried to draw some stuff based on that, the results are... okayish? Critiques welcomed.

>>6146942
Yes. See how you have the shadow "hiding" behind the figure in >>6146218? The figure's head is bent, so you bent the shadow's head. That woule make sense if the shadow was in profile, but the shadow is being cast behind the figure. You have to think in terms of silhouette when drawing shadows.

>>6146951
>i suggest taking a figure drawing class instead of just copying the book.

morpho is for copying
vilppu is too detailed
every gesture class is the same and it also comes down to copying, but it is pictures

>>6146995
The likenesses are not great, but they have a clean, cartoonish look to them. The mechanical details (what little there is) look okay. Mechanical stuff has always been tough for me to do. And yes, Edge of Tomorrow was really fun!

I don't have a scanner so I need to dig up my tablet and some free software, is Krita good?

>>6146774

>>6147041
you could use krita but i recommend just pirating csp sai or photoshop

less tranniesh?

>>6146319

fix left leg

>>6147065
The breasts are too far apart, left leg is sort of wonky, knees need work, legs look a bit long, butt looks wonky... It's getting there, I guess?

>>6147082
please redline

What kind of brushes should I have for starting in acrylic?

>>6147065
sorry to say this bro but your drawings are the definition of soulless

>>6147089
this is fine
I haven't practiced gesture for months and just focused on anatomy

if you think pic related is souless too then there is no hope for me

>>6147084
You're work isn't soulless, just too technical. But that's what happens with studies.
A few suggestions. Why do you draw in such low resolution? I think you should either increase the dpi or zoom out a little. Also when you sketch, it's a good idea for beginners to use larger brush sizes for their sketches, then switch to a smaller brush for linework. It looks like 5 pixel wide brush is used for your studies, which just makes things harder for you. The most important thing for beginners is to not only copy what you study but to really analyze it. Spend a few minutes just looking at the reference to see how it's really shaped.

reposting here because other thread is dead. finishing last apple for homework tonight. phoned in this first apple, spent more time on the second. Not sure how to put the blue bounce light on the second apple though.

>>6147128
no need to thank me i will not post my work and I have no blogs

>>6147134
ahh, makes sense. still gonna say it: thanks

trying out the hard round brush meme

okay so do i just draw boxes with my elbow until it feels natural

>>6147119
>You're work isn't soulless, just too technical. But that's what happens with studies.

I assume gesture and aesthetic is also a technical aspect though.I have to admit the only things I am paying attention in the last month or so is purely construction I can see how it may look unappealing, stiff or boring

>>6147128
done for now

I think like half of /beg/ shouldn't even be posting in /beg/.

>>6147209
but isn't this now /beg/ + /int/?

>>6147209
yeah they should go to perma/beg/

>>6147214
why not give the intermediates THEIR OWN FUCKING GENERAL

>>6147065
>>6147084
Shoulder width is borderline, but I think you're out of the tranny-zone. The perspective is off, you did the beg trap thing where you draw two parallel features at a perfect right angle to each other. Look at her nips and knees, one is facing the viewer and the other is perfectly perpendicular (I noticed cause I do this all the time). I know this was an anatomy study, but something to look out for in the future. Anatomically it looks fine to me.

Also some things I've noticed for drawing muscular women without going trannymode, is to generally avoid overly defining the upper body muscles, especially the shoulders and upper back muscles, not that you did that here.

>>6147222
this is better for begs too, though. were you here last year? beg was an absolute shit show, and we've always had ints here too since /int/ never really works. it's hard to define where /beg/ ends and /int/ begins, so it's usually just a lot of crabbing "go back to /beg/" type of shit

>>6146684
>>6146686
I just want you to know that I fapped to this for 8 mins and blew a decent load to the trashbin, thanks. Please keep it coming.

>>6147222
too faggots would only argue about who and wasn't /int/ whenever it was attempted

>>6147153

i lied bro you weren't supposed to say thanks...

>>6147231
shiiiiiitttttttttttttt

>>6147169
Very neat work, teeth need some improvement.

>>6147244
yeah you're right I kind of started getting lazy there.
what exactly do you think could I improve about it? I think the back teeth and bottom row look a bit muddy and flat now that I look again but interested in your critique

>>6147169
I don't have the reference, but the curve of the teeth look a bit flat to me. Maybe it's at just the perfect angle, but it looks like it should show the curvature of the mouth a bit more?

>>6147275
here it is

>>6147275
>>6147278
damn you're right, now that I overlay it over my skull there's a lot of things wrong and the teeth aren't curved enough

>>6146172
I have been using CSP for over a year now yet I still can't find a decent tutorial for it on youtube. I feel frustrated drawing on it all the time yet still not knowing half of the features. Where can I find a good clip studio paint ex interface tutorial?

>>6147285
bro

>>6147253
I see you already figured it out, you can avoid this next time by blocking in the teeth into groups before refining them individually, think of the overall shape.

>>6147298
will do, thanks for the advice

testing out brushes for sketching. this one feels a bit too unwieldy

>>6147334
funnn, but not sure

>>6147338
okay, it's a fun brush to use

I put more hours on this project. I'm open for ideas to fill the left side /background cause I'm not good at composition. More like, please help me decide what to do

A serious question. What is CSP's equivalent of Hard Round?

>>6147487
what do you mean "equivalent"? just grab one of the default brushes and turn off all the fancy settings until it's a hard round brush...

>>6147376
Too harsh but this anon got a point.

You should make webcomics. It's not like people haven't been successful with that style.

good morning

What's the best way to practice cubes in perspective? Imagination? Reference? Freehand? Ruler? Should I always draw the horizon line?

>>6147038
Thanks anon, achieving a likeness while still exaggerating the features is definitely one of my weaknesses that I'm trying to overcome.

>>6147545
something like this? use the ref other anon uploaded, should be enough

>>6147624
>>6147625
not exact but it gives me lots of info!! thank you so much anon

>>6147667
holy shit??? that is amazing ty so much! also do you have a blog?

>>6147670
>do you have a blog?
4chan is my blog, I belong here, good luck

>>6147674
same here anon, twitter is a lot of work and i dont have to thinking abt viewership and likes here :)

>>6147084
In my opinion, your main problem is "lack of contrast", meaning that you aren't using things like thick to thin, straight to curve, pinch and stretch, etc. Your anatomy and perspective also need some work, just remember to only define the muscles that are contracting and you will get better results.

>>6147433
Good rendering anon, just a tip: use the liquify tool before you continue, some parts are wonky.

I sometimes feel like I'm LARPing as an artist (even as a /beg/) where in reality I haven't learned anything at all and am ngmi, is this feeling normal?

>>6147667
workin on it ty again for the help

>>6147734
No, you should schedule your contemplation and overthinking becasue these negative thoughts will impede your progress.

>Tried what? Marking vanishing points for every single surface in painting? Thats a little overkill. Usually you need just 1, sometimes up to three. Coincidentally i am just now at 1point perspective in keys to drawing book.

Well thank you anon for your response. My question is a bit vague because I was a bit tired so I went sleep. My real question about perspective is : Can multiples vanishing point coexists on the horizon line ?

Perspective day one

>>6147824

why the fuck doesn't this look polished and or professional. please tell me what fundamental skills i am lacking thank you

>>6147956
u mad, nigga

>>6147959
What?

Half this sheet is old, other half is new didn't feel right to post one at a time, so some reposts, apologies.
As you can tell by these faces, I don't draw many anime/3d girls because I lack interest but these are competent entertainers from what I remember, liked/fell for their theming design.

On big errors, ignoring small: messed up superbat's pose from reference so improvised a bit, didn't know what to do with below his waist so I tried to make him float a bit because Supes tends to do that.
Human figures above that just lol, always feels different from a pic rather than in life.
Piccolo's neck is too thick but I didn't correct it early.
Top right thing was more of a speed doodle from reference.
Two bottom right were just really quick rent free memory things.
>biggest that effects (you) if you look at it; Didn't go over most of these more than once so they're more visible in a picture nor use darker strokes the first time to compensate, so lazy auto Pshop instead.

How populated should your sketchbook pages be? I feel like I can't draw more than one thing without needing to start a new page otherwise it'll get cluttered and ugly

>>6148024
>otherwise it'll get cluttered and ugly
that's the point. sketchbooks are for practice. nobody else is looking at it but you unless you're one of those pretentious tards who like to make it look all fancy for views on youtube

>>6148024
Your sketchbook is yours and you use it like you want to use it.

>>6148034
cheese moon

>>6148024
Well I find it depends on your subject and what you want to achieve.

Personally I just need to get in reps or just feel in a fun mood.

>>6148017
Looks great
>>6148034
My friend you'll need to use softer brushes to lay down the sketch if harder ones are giving you issues, and pay attention to the colours. A dim moon makes no sense. Hope you'll redraw it and make it pure kino

>>6148073
Good job, skeletons are really difficult imo

how does a womans hands differ in structure when compared to that of a man?

I might have realized what my biggest problem is: I basically draw everything (head, arms, hands, etc.) As a single thing to spend time on instead of the body as a whole on the spot, which might explain my wonky ass poses and understanding how the body works. This is what not studying gesture properly does to a mf.

Taking the bad facial expressions aside and the stiffness, how far I am from being a good artist by social media/mangaka standard? I want to improve relatively quickly and even something like 3 or 4 years seems too much for my liking. Keep in mind I want to reach around the same level of someone who has a decent understanding of fundies and an appealing enough art style, not a master.

>>6148129
gabe? it thumbnails horribly your use of black is egregious

>>6148129
Your drawing lacks clarity on what the fuck is going on.
the futa being held ups legs just turn into circles and trail off into the void
the futa doing the fucking's balls meld into her leg, and the tail(?) is just kinda stitched onto the side of her ass

>>6148129
it's BITCH ASS GABE THE SCHLUB!!

>>6147376

>>6148236
bitch is stiff as hell

>>6148236
Damn this granny is in a good shape

Trying out markers.

>>6147865
your perspective is completely off for the background and the lack of aerial perspective makes it even more confusing to look at

>>6147822
NTA, every single set of parallel lines NOT perpendicular to the picture plane will create a vanishing point somewhere. there can be an infinite amount of vanishing points anywhere, on the horizon line or not. i recommend you read Perspective Made Easy by Ernest Norling.

How do you guys deal with friction (paper and table)?
Makes drawing feel chunky and uneven.

>>6148284
Cute goblin

>>6147956
Unironically, what do you read to draw like this? Loomis? I'm trying to do a similar style with my fountain pen.

>>6148323
Read? Lol nothing, I just draw

What's the best way to START a particular drawing?
Most of the time I just fuck around until I get something that looks ok, and I have no problem finishing it off, but if I want to draw something specific, I have a really hard time getting started. I don't know what to do.
Do I start with a model and just copy that? Sounds like cheating to me. Fucking around is hard to because if I don't know what I'm drawing I'm never get gonna get anything good, especially without reference

How are the lines?
This is usually as far as I get with something, because I'm completely unable to colour.

>>6148347
Extremely based.

Is it good idea to sketch with pencil, then scan the drawing and work with this in digital? All my digital sketches look like shit, i just can't draw stuff with tablet.
Do you guys work this way?

>>6148361
I used to do this, and my digital stuff still doesn't look as good, but you should still try to put in the hours with a tablet.
If your tablet is old and small, you can upgrade for very cheap these days.

>>6148347
Always knew the sticky was shit

>>6148361
I'm doing the same route as >>6148364 because all the work with art I want to do is digital anyway. So I figure it's worth it putting in the time to get my tablet sketching up to par. It was gotten better but the first few months were pretty discouraging for me. I was also too obsessed with getting "perfect line quality" in the beginning, probably because I was constantly comparing my digital quality to my trad line quality. It got better over time though, just have to actually keep drawing with your tablet. You're adjusting to a new medium so it makes sense to need time.

First piece I painted in a couple of months.

>>6148354
the lines looks okay. some anatomy error though; eyes are too close and could be a bit smaller, shoulders are too wide, and the right side arm could be a bit longer. Keep up the grind

>draw human rom reference
>give anime eyes, hair, nose, and mouth
>its now an anime girl
Is that how you draw anime girls?

plz be gentle.

I'm sick and tired of studying humans. I hope that monkes will be kinder to me.

>>6148418
It's a decent sketch anon. Will you take it do another? Also next time try to take a picture straight-on if you can

>>6148418
try using hatching for shading it will help you see the drawing better. Also you can use darker lines for object that are closer to the viewer, so the arms would be darker compare to the legs.

>>6148412
that's how you get picrel

>>6148408
Thanks anon. If you think the shoulders are wide now, know that I revised them inwards on three other occasions.
Completely missed the arm though, thank you.

>>6146614
Gonna force myself to read Loomis cover to cover, actually do the exercises, and post them here.

Fun With a Pencil: Part 28

>>6148418
Here, I tried to perspective correct it for you

friendly reminder that anybody who ever says anything about gesture is about to give you the most useless advice you will ever get

>>6148452
appreciated. just realized that most of these guys are hairy, which might turn this to be just another furry mess.

>>6148499
What an absolute unit like this would require? I'm trying to keep my construction cleaner than usual.

This is the type of scratching i usually lapse into

Begs... let's draw!

>>6148400
This is how i imagine people see the world when they are high on acid. Nice but with so many clashing colors i wouldnt hang this anywhere

>>6148361
Sounds mega complicated. Just force yourself to sketch on tablet (experiment with various brushes until you find the one) and after a while you will get gud.

>>6148305
Gloves, using elbow, using shoulder?

>>6148284
i want to headpat the gobbo

>>6148176
add shading, some sort of background and it will be godlike

>>6148129
I am not fan of manga nor "just line-art" but if you slap shades or colors on this it will be very good coom art. The face expressions unf. Btw her leg isnt finished lol

>>6147865
I suggest reading keys to drawing, you somehow skipped fundies, ALL OF THEM

>>6147822
Every single surface has its own vanishing point. The point can be anywhere but in typical drawing the objects are either very small so its waste of time to look for them or there are few objects which all "share" (same area) same 1~3 vanishing points. Like buildings on the street or windows.

Yes multiple VP can coexist and not just on the horizon line, they can be even up or down (if you look at stuff bellow or above you).

>>6147209
Are they too good or too bad? :-)
Btw what is the difference between BEG and not-beg-anymore?

I dare say this amigo might be ngmi given they've been at it over a span of 4 months; I can say that because

[spoiler] it's me. [spoiler]

Won't comment on others because that's up to you. But there's at least 1 other worse off then you, I'm still /pre-beg/.

Just have to try more?

>>6148571

this is bait

>>6148593
Also i'm 29 so don´t have too much time besides a couple of hours to practice stuff.

>>6148448
Gonna force myself to read Loomis cover to cover, actually do the exercises, and post them here.

Fun With a Pencil: Part 29

>>6148615
The actual picture would help, wouldn't it?

>>6148613
Did you draw growing up at all or starting from absolute zero? Regardless the key is to keep going. Build up a habit of daily sketching and enjoy it. Study your fundies, but make sure you're teaching yourself to draw for fun too. That will carry you through.

>>6148616
Nice anon. Looking forward to your progress.

first time doing perspective study on a human figure, pls tell me what to fix so next time the torso doesn't look like a fucking blob

>>6148525
screw you massive replier schizo you never reply to my drawings so screw you and your validation seeking like knuckles said i don't need a posse i get it on by myself

>>6148677
and you chicken scratch too much, my nigga

I just made this piece for my portfolio. Any thoughts or Critiques?

>6148678
>schizo mad because he didn't get the undeserved attention for his spam
Top Kek. Get fucked you little bot faggot

i said i don't need his attention to draw that's why i said screw him

>>6148678
ah milk

>>6148686
>chicken scratch
Keys to Drawing told me it was called restating :(

>I don't need his attention to draw
>previously bitched about the lack of attention given
Funny how you consider your spamming """"drawing""""

>>6148697
take your fucking milk with you too my nigga

>>6148686
why do people complain about chicken scratch for sketches?

>>6148605
oh hey congrats on the 200

From zero. I tried when I was 12, but some kids laugh at my drawings and just stopped and only used to doodle random quick stuff on the back of notebooks.

Thanks for the advise anon, i always wanted to make good drawings but grow too insecure about it. Thanks for taking the time for commenting.

>>6148712
Screw you, I don't need your validation. Knuckles said so. Don't ever reply to me again.

>>6148712
thanks but there is still more to be done all goals have not been reached just yet

wow it really is somethin, aint it? but that aside, how do i make massive hands womanly?

>>6148724
how about post something that's not trolling?

>>6148724
Why is one boob sagging lower than the other?

it's time i draw more taimanin asagi & friends and maybe MAYBE some senran kagura crossover art but i kinda dislike those senran peeps, they are ungrateful unlike my taimanin friends

>>6148727
i see what you did there. but i tried to draw her big hands but they came out too meaty
>>6148728
and thats why you check your drawings, a fuck up on my part

>>6147084
This is one of those drawings where you correct one problem, see two more that need fixing, and you end up redrawing the entire thing if you aren't careful. Starting from the top:
>Hair
The hair is too far receded on the side. The hair wouldn't work the way as drawn. I've shown where the hair should start on the head, and where the part would be.
>Left hand
Minor correction. Hands are tough.
>Breasts
Breasts are connected to the pectoral muscles, not the ribcage. The breasts are too low on the chest. The left breast is drawn as if it was in profile. The nipples are pointed in opposite directions. Here's a tip: the pecs and the breasts should be parallel with each other. If the left pec is is higher than the right, the corresponding breasts should be the same.
>Right hand
What happened here? It looks like you started drawing it correctly, but flipped it for some reason. Also, you gave yourself a cube to help place the body in space. Use it!
>Butt
The butt is formless like a beanbag chair, and the figure is sinking into it. I know you're trying to make it look soft and cushiony, but it's still attached to the hips. It still has muscle. Again, use the cube to help give it shape.
>Legs
It's mainly the left leg that's the problem. It's disproportionately large. The kneecaps on both legs are likewise tinier than they should be. Make the legs smaller, the kneecaps bigger.

That's it. This is my second time typing all this shit up. Hope it helps!

>>6148711
I notice it fucking up my proportions, thus teaching me nothing (I guess?) t. >>6148519

>>6148734
My first time drawing a box for perspective to build a body from (that wasn't an example from the Loomis book). Referenced another drawing I had on my phone.

(Probably should've used cylinders for the body.)

>>6148711
well, it looks sloppy and you never learn how to make single strokes when neeeded as well as being a crutch

>>6148724
What is your goal here? Like, I would highly recommend doing some anatomy studies- especially hands- before spilling your fantasies on the paper. I can't imagine myself(nor(you)) jacking off to model made out of spaghetti and meatballs.

>>6148742
just was dicking around as you saw in the background, i used a photo as a base, then just tried making something. And i do need to make some hand studies since all I have done is look at my own hands ans attmet to draw them. And if you are wondering why the hands are so big, its on purpose

>something finally "clicked" and I can actually draw stuff
holy shit

>>6148768
its a hell of a feeling but would you mind showing it?

>>6148773
I will as soon as I'm done, just wanted to share my excitement

>>6148768
Let me guess. You watched Vilppu?

>>6147084
she has a very nice face

>>6147376
shut and nigger and pyw

>>6148284
how do you get shadows like that with markers? going over it again? or saving the area for a darker tone of the same color? never used markers before

>>6148795
you can blend alcohol based markers. just use a darker color where you want shadow.

>>6148516
okay, drawing hair is boring

>>6148525
you really need to work on your draftsmanship, your verticals are always fucking off somewhere, why???
other than that, i respect the grind

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME HOLY SHIT

i see in some books or references that feets are draw fucking different, which one is better/corect?

any quick rundowns on how to feet

>>6148809
I assume people have differently shaped feet, so they're both correct.

>>6148814
i know that the same with face and body frame but usually theres like an ideal shape/form, theres people with butter face but aint drawing my bitches with that...
fug

>>6148809
both are fine, hands can do the same thing

>>6148822
Imagine lacking testosterone and having "those" finger proportions of the 3 as a male.

>>6148809
START WITH THE GREEKS

>>6148768
Curious to know what clicked for you

>>6147896
I think I didn't save the pic with the tutorial
but you just fill in the shape with a flat medium tone gray, then you create an overlay layer on top of it, block in the black, then use soft eraser and hard eraser for the shapes. you do the same thing for lights, except you use white to block in and use a screen layer instead. highlights can be added with a hard brush on a layer on the top. truth be told though, I'm not very sure of what I am doing and the quality of my render varies a lot.

>>6148871
thank you whatever it takes to make me remember how to render and surpass what i already know

>>6148809
Look at your own feet. Are you fucking retarded?

>>6148871
find the pic im interested now

>>6148724
feminine hands will be longer and slender. the ratio of finger and palm length will be higher compared to width. the opposite will be true for masculine hands. feminine finger tips will be pointier, but overall the hands will be smother and the curves will flow between joints. masculine hands will be bulkier, more angular lines, flatter at the finger tips.

how can i get its eyes right?
i know that the left eye is way bigger but the right eye is not looking directly to the camera, is a little to the left
i tried fixing it but now is looking up

How do I draw knees?

>>6148687
lines look like garbage, perspective is fucked, 3d is barely there.

>>6148885
im flexible enough to see the bottom of my feets in full view, but i think im understaing a little more.

>>6148938
im *not* flexible...

Any thoughts?
>>6148073

What makes a belly button look extra juicy?

>>6148953
kek you're right

Quick drapery study

>>6148073
These look amazing

>>6148995
Cool. Quick question, what did you do to get these crisp edges here? Selection or just making the brush smaller and doing it manually? That area looks nice.

>>6149017
Made the brush smaller, cranked opacity to 100 and go to town. You pretty much nailed it yeah

I'm planning out a painting, how can I improve the composition?

I couldn't imagine myself browsing these threads for half a decade, drawing for hours every day and never getting better.

>>6148843
But roman is the cutest... Especially when you're is socks.

>>6148957
Depends on what bellybuttons you like, there a many very different sorts of them. Post your favorite, also observe the shadows.

>though I understood basic perspective
>even some of the more intermediate stuff
>try to read through Scott Robertson's "How To Draw"

bros my brain fucking hurts what the fuck is this

>>6148925
Ok thank you for your feedback, I'll try to improve on these elements. How would you recommend I improve the lines?

Trying to get back into rhythm after falling off for a month.

Is this accurate?

Yeah pretty much except her right leg for ours left leg is just a frontal view so you wouldn''t see the side views as much
