if you're intimidated by that, maybe you need to find a new hobby

the major issue i have with this is the left knee and right elbow, but I can't put my finger on what's giving me grief on the elbow. did you use a reference that I could see?

>>6358495
No ref sorry
About the elbow it probably need to go further
I shortend the forarm without checking the proportions again so that's probably it.

going to learn to draw some animals, seems fun; taking my routine of using one reference to get me started, then filling the page with stuff from imagination, not going for perfect anatomy and such, but training my brain to not rely on refs

>>6358504
1. Delts flex when you raise your arm
2. Don't forget the tendon in the knee, it has a bit of volume there
I'd say focus on your anatomy first, folds have their own hurdles and the way it drapes shows volume of its own. Take a look at anatomy books like anatomy for the sculptor for how muscles change from just the anatomically neutral position.

Would it be ok to do a combination of lessons from draw-a-bow and books like keys to drawing/drawing on the right side of the brain or just stick to one of them fully?

>>6358552
I was a bit late to reply cause I went to bed but this is me saying thanks to the anons that gave me advice last night

>>6358522
Thanks man!
Yeah anatomy is something I need to work on.
Right now I'm doing the 3 months thing where you chose a style you want to emulate.
I've been doing the style of 'The Banner Saga' for more than 2 months now (been posting in every beg and int thread since then) and it has shown alot of my weak points but I'm going to finish the 3 month period first before I go off and get too deep in other things.
The advice is much appreciated thanks man!

I just wanted to show off my balls. Basic shit, but four days ago I couldn't have done this.

All my heads look like behelits...

>>6358567
I've got balls of steel

how am i doing bros?

>>6358608
Work on your values

Any tips before I dive into gesture drawing?

>>6358659
have fun

Trying to tackle Bridgman's figure drawing style and anatomy studies at the same time, although I feel like I'm just trying to fumble around with placing muscles on the figure and seeing if it looks right while drawing.

>>6358678
Few more studies

>>6358678
anatomy for the sculptor, atlas of anatomy for the artist, morpho anatomy for artists, dynamic anatomy if you want more detailed looks at muscles

noticing i'm losing concentration and getting a bit lazy, i think i'm done with digital today, back to pencil and paper

painted my friends pfp in a game lol

someone critique this catt butt

>>6358764
coomable

>>6358620
can you elaborate?

how shit am I?

I like my progress so far, but I'm having trouble with making the frills look authentically translucent. I tried messing with the opacity but it still looks off to me.

>>6358735
k fuck it now it counts as a full page

>>6358788
you're picking colors based on what you think they are, and maybe trying to add style to it. work with grays first and limit yourself to maybe 3-5 shades so you understand values go where instead of guessing at what colors you think are there.

>>6358804
I see, something like pic rel?
i tried doing that last time (it wasn't a study) and it came out looking like garbage, i couldn't stick to just 5 values and I'm not sure if one should be doing that with a watercolor brush in the first place! still, thanks for the advice.
and is the grayscale supposed to just work as a guide for yourself or is there an easy way to turn the grayscale into color?

>>6358802
You're right. Color on the shoes and shorts looks great, but I'm not sold on the frill. I'm not sure what material they're meant to be either, mesh or plastic. It'd probably help to look at pictures of real translucent frills and material, and try to figure out what gives them that look. They often change the way you see materials under them, bending the light with plastic or softening the color with mesh.

>>6358608
:---D

I think Im beg, just made another studic

>>6358821
it can be hard but you can switch your ref to grayscale as well. and definitely do not use soft brushes when starting out, it'll make your art into mush.
i think this is a good representation of what I'm trying to say. i started it on the values chapter but def give it a full look through
https://youtu.be/Q6-NhdEPKGk?t=164
and with grayscale, this is to better understand values before you put color back into the mix.

>>6358834
the magnifying glass doesn't read like one, I'd change the magnified hair to avoid the tangent. also rotate the canvas and look at her face

d00dle

>>6358825
don't get cryptic on me now!

>>6358841
thanks for the video, what sort of brushes do you recommend for grayscale though?

>>6358864
Hard round brush, any program you use should have it.

>>6358878
His body looks very lickable but his face looks like a minor.

>>6358884
I like that way

>>6358905
Then pic rel, buddy. My dude's going to need hands to hold me and legs to intertwine with mine. Keep going.

>>6358821
>couldn't stick to just 5 values
Have you done 2, 3, 4-tone value distillations?

>>6358844

>>6358932
DOH. It's sideways. It's a thumbs up.

>>6358834
Excuse me, what's studic?

>>6358834
low int.

add deeper values to make the colors pop more.

otherwise good job

>>6358974
actually, the more I look at the face, im thinking its high beg now.

bros I just want to draw pretty girls. why is it so fucking intimidating :(

A quick 10 minute sketch I did.

I plan to turn it into an Aegon The Conqueror piece.

>>6358879
i know this question is autistic but which one? I'm using medibang and my shit's in spanish

>>6358936
no, but it sounds easy to deal with even less values, I'll look into it!

>>6358981
just attempt it. if you never try it you'll never know where you stand.

even if when you try it and it looks like shit, thats good.

its what you do AFTER you try it that matters.

Study, take reference, practice and repeat.

And you should never draw and feel like its a chore.

Always make sure to have fun when sketching/drawing.

If you draw and your bored, thats pretty much burnout fuel right there.

>>6358983
another sketch idea for the Aegon piece.

>>6358983
Could you perhaps, and I tell you respectfully, make him have HUGE tits, and basically transform him into a woman?

>>6358984
I've got these

>>6358845
>smoking
soul

>>6358989
thank you, its been years since I've used it. the first and second one. you could use the last one when you get more confident with your values

>>6358981
Unironically the easiest thing to draw unless you're trying to go for realism or are into muscle girls. Start by drawing a simple face, big butt, you're a man right? you know your stuff, go from there.

>>6358996
alright thanks anon!, just to clear up any confusion I'm >>6358984 showing what i got in >>6358989

Digital Art nub, when I see time lapses of artists doing digital they'll do something like reposition an entire arm/head. Is this just seperating each limb into a layer or something?

I'm using CSP and it seems really nice to be able to just drag something a bit instead of completely redraw it.

>>6359008
just lasso and transform it

>>6359008
they use the lasso tool and transform it

its painful being this bad at drawing.

Gum

Self portrait

Everyone have a good weekend. Fun little doodle I did of spawn.

Hello beg, only two more sessions left with the watercolor meme! And then hopefully something better comes.

>>6359071
You arent that annoying long range character from one piece anime, are you?
>>6359053
the pain never goes away, you only build resistance to it
>>6358987
how come you had to construct the man but drew the dragon from nothing?
>>6358905
thumbs up
>>6358834
i kneel
>>6358792
you drew the head VERY blocky like, like its chiseled from rock. It may be accident, it may be intentional idk. In either case it looks good!
>>6358608
i suggest you to first draw it in grayscale and then maybe adding color. Its as another anon said: you arent using correct values
>>6358481
you pretty much reached the level of that viking game if not outgrew it. But since you want to do animation, shouldnt you try to make like 10 second animation to see how it will look like?

So I did a value layer. Am I supposed to set it to "Multiply" so I can draw more detail in the layer above it? I don't know which one to pick and there's like 20 options

Any tips on how I could improve it? I already know the colors are a little bland and lighting needs improvement (pretty new to it). I could do the linework better, as well as work on perspective more. What else :o

>>6359155
Is there anything you didn't say?

>>6359159
I mean if that's all there is wrong, then that's a good thing I listed it!

How does this look?

>>6359173
Looks good but it looks like her shirt is eating her arm behind her back

>>6359173
rapeable

>>6358981
I have not drawn a single woman until I was 26. Not even Joking. For some reason, I felt like I was going to be a filthy Coomer artist if I attempt to draw a female character. One day, in 2019, I was showing my sketchbook to a girl I liked and a few days later she asked me if I was gay.
I don't know for sure if it's related but my sketchbook did only have male characters.
I decided to draw female characters after that.
After the initial first attempt, I no longer felt like a le coomer artist

>>6359173
Her cranium is tiny. stop hiding hands

Doing something with an actual background

>>6359175
>>6359180
Any better?

>>6359184
Reminds me of Jeremie Perin's shows

How do I draw a creepy smile with teeth showing while making the character somewhat attractive?

>>6359191
Do the latter first.

>>6359191
Fix her thousand yard stare first, it looks goofy. Make her look at the viewer, off to the side, idk just fix it and make those pupils way smaller.
Checkout picrel, you want to draw a big smile with grinding teeth and emphasis on the canine teeth to get a crazed look.

>>6358802
when the frills overlap itself it should be a different opacity (more opaque) right now the frill doesn't interact with itself

Have been practicing faces for the past few days, I don't think they look bad but they're missing interesting shapes and marks

whats up, /ic/, any general critiques on my sketches here? I know it's all over the place for now. My goal is to be a nsfw / porn artist and maybe do some fantasy / sci fi character designs for fun or for commissions. I generally feel ok about body but I feel like my faces are on the 'flat' side.

>>6359238
draw more women

>>6359229
I like this, good job. If anything, darken your shading a tad bit for more contrast.

>>6359213
Only if that was that easy
>>6359223
>thousand yard stare
It was supposed to read as "insane", but I guess it's not doing it. I like your example. I should probably look up references instead of going from my head.

>>6358454
>intimidated

i dont think you should project onto me, faggot

What do you guys think? Mouse and MSPaint user here

>>6359257
peak SOVL. reminds me of 2000s internet

>>6359188
Didn't know who Jeremie Perin is. Seems dope.

I drew Dorothy from va-11 hall-a an amazing game

>>6359282
rule of thumb is there should be an eye's worth of space between both eyes bro, regardless of size

>>6359238
>>6359241

just for you, anon

Hotd

Do you guys have a certain routine for exercises, warm ups, etc?

>>6359280
Yeah he's great, I liked your background too, should have said that first

>>6359325
>Warm up
Straight lines, use a ruler for one line and draw over it. Then put some dots and connect them. Do the same for curves. Then practice ellipses in all different angles and some circles too. Then some boxes and cylinders in perspective. After I fill one side of an A4 I turn the page and fill the other side with doodles

>>6359184

>>6358431

dropping some sketchbook pages, any help on what i should be doing / avoiding would be appreciated

>>6359286
You are correct about eyes being not far apart enough, but
>rule of thumb is there should be an eye's worth of space between both eyes bro, regardless of size
this is a dumb opinion

>>6359410
Best girl

>>6359127
>you pretty much reached the level of that viking game if not outgrew it.
Wow thanks man!
I don't think I'm quite there yet but thanks!
They never do full bodies or any kind of pose either so that kinda sucks.
Always the 3/4 portrait from the waist up.
>But since you want to do animation, shouldnt you try to make like 10 second animation to see how it will look like?
Yea I plan to start on that post new year.
end of november I'll have finished the 3 month style study.
After that I'll specifically work on gesture anatomy hands feet etc. until new year and then start focusing on animation

>>6359229
Eyes seem too far apart
>>6359394
>>6359397
>>6359398
Faces seem fine, body proportions need some work.
Love the recognizable crossing out of things you don't like and the dude with the arrow through his head kek.
It's ok to take breaks if you're 'burned out', you can shitpost here anytime.
I like where you're going, don't be afraid to mix styles you never know what'll come out of it

genuinely wondering if I’m autistic with how much I struggle with faces and expressions

>>6359490
Recognizing them or drawing them?

Mostly done lineart

>>6359071
My 4yo said you're ugly. Sorry.

>>6359449
>opinion
without fail, every single time the eyes are too close is because the artist violated the golden rule, anon.

>>6359557
i'm talking about an anatomically leaning art style here of course

>>6359552
well your daughter is a big poohead

>>6359053
Copying stylized drawings without having basic fundamentals is a complete waste of time.

Going to focus on some /trad/ stuff today bros, faces from imagination and whatever I see on TV as I sketch

lazy studies

>>6359605

Shading round things is still hard.

>>6359695
mineycrafta

>>6359548
pretty hard to read those hands, they're closer to the viewer so the lines should be way thicker.

>>6359661
pciture is kinda blurry
>>6359695
A trap chest uwu
Did you use a ruler?
Try doing stuff with a ruler lightly and going over it by hand.

>>6359775
I'm drawing cubes and realized hey, that's just a creeper.

>>6359783
I'm mixing in ruler and no ruler because some part of me feels like it's cheating when I know it's not. The cheating part feels like I'm hurting my potential skills.
I'll try lighter ruler lines and hand darkening the lineweight.

>>6359781
Noted, will fix

>>6359184
Ended up redoing the pose to show booba

>>6359854
Actual pic

>>6359773
That's a cool use of the pointillism pen anon

>>6359773
Right arm should be longer, elbow should be at your waist

>>6359097
nice, I used to have a poster board of Spawn:
>Born in darkness, sworn to justice

>>6359860
Thank you!
I like messing around with it so it's not just a boring piece with no background.
>>6359861
Yeah there's something wrong there for sure but the idea was flexing his triceps so it'd look that way idk.
>>6359825
>I'm mixing in ruler and no ruler
You use whatever works for you, but not using a ruler gives it more character even when you use it to lightly put it down and then trace it without.

critique pls? thanks

>>6359886

>>6359886
could be better, could be worse; what's your goal here?

also bonus points for not drawing tranime

>>6359915
i dunno, im still learning, but probably my endgoal is the academic stuff? like russian.

heh i do draw weeb shit a lot but i know realism is important too, you have to do these things from time to time.

>>6359886
the cone seems flat, and also is lopsided,
the ball's bottom shadow is too close to the pyramid, as well as the pyramid not having a occlusion shadow due to the ball;
the ball's bounce light on the bottom isn't at the right spot, it shoulde go down a little bit closer to the ground due to the light being so overhead
the cylinder's circle top edge should be a highlight but you have an outline/lip instead,

wait, i'm assuming you didn't ref from the photo but were doing it still life wise...

your whites could've been a little brighter for the highlights and most direct light spots

I just got back to drawing.
This is my first time attempting backlighting.

I feel like redoing everything but I don't know where I am fucking up

>>6359920
>like russian
start from the very ground up, get your shapes and knowledge of perspective up and then slowly work in shading once you have that more improved accuracy; if you juggle too many things at once you'll likely burn out or find you aren't improving

dedicate time to learning one thing at a time and slowly introduce more to the drawings as you find your confidence is building, it's still fine to spend one day learning shapes, another perspective, then another shading, but yeah just try not to do all of them at once before you have a solid understanding of one

>>6359927
Wait, no.
That was yesterday's pic

Anyone knows how I can improve this?
This is my first time attempting backlighting

>>6359932
Not dark enough. Try doing the shading in grayscale first.

>>6359923
thanks for the fast and free critique, appreciated it.
well about that, i did the construction with it (not looking at the pic, i draw at the studio), and i only reference the lighting a tiny bit since it kinda changed while im drawing. im literally winging it lmao.

how can i make the cone less flat though? any advice from you will help.

>>6359929
(i assumed you're the same anon)
i do know about basic perspective (i think), i watched the marshall's course + perspective made easy + perspective drawing handbook + drawabox l6. of course i need more practice but that should be enough for uhh these academic drawing?

also, yes im pretty weak at rendering. i should dedicated more time for it.

>>6359932
learn how to draw faces
>>6359940
watching things and going through books is just a waste of time if you aren't religiously practicing the things they're showing you

>>6359970
What?
Face looks fine to me.
Tell me how to improve it

>>6359971
don't know how you can look at these and think they're fine; they're both pretty flat and the left one you've just pretty much ignored, give them some actual features

>>6359970
hm that;s what i meant, i did stress that i need more practice, but i wanna ask are the things which were wriiten in those books & courses & lectures already cover enough the basics for one to learn to draw academic drawings? or should i tackle more a more advance resources like H2D.

>>6359976
Such as?

>>6359977
they'll be enough to get you up onto your feet, but i'd also suggest looking into influences, look at art that you like and is similar to what you'd like to produce, you'll see what they do and slowly understand how they did it, it'll guide you a bit beyond those initial steps as you grow curious and try new things
>>6359979
this is why i said you should learn to properly draw faces; those faces are lacking depth, there isn't much to really look at that stands out and makes them 3 dimensional; you have a mouth open but no teeth visible, is she toothless? there isn't much to imply the ending of the eye with the cheek, the nose is a single line, the chin is a sharp edge

>>6359988
alright i will, thanks again anon, have a nice day.

>>6359988
I'm just following the standard anime art stye, bruh
Realism is not really appreciated in animeme communes and I am struggling really hard here at figuring out how to add depth in a backlighting

>>6359991
i know you are, but you don't have to simplify things to that degree, you can still give them some features that make their faces pop out a bit more; the character on the left's eye is also positioned as if it's looking directly at us by the way

my brain is fried

>>6360030
Is that bridgman? Ignore everything he writes 100%

if you work hard enough you can reach this level and make $$$ millions, ya'll have a long way to go before that though

>>6359932
Holy shit your ass.

Why the fuck are you worried about lighting and coloring when you don't know how to construct a proper female body?

Fuck all the coloring and lighting, go back to the fucking basics and practice until your females look correct.

Don't draw these fucking blob characters that hardly resemble a female body.

I have seriously never been this repulsed by someones art like this before.

>>6360064
>I have seriously never been this repulsed by someones art like this before
kekd, don't be so harsh anon, it could be worse

>>6359932
Not gonna lie, you posted cringe bro. You rely on references way too much and it shows, they both look symbol drawn and there's no sense of depth.

>>6359191
having eyes indicate perspective is one good way to show crackhead energy, bcs the way you drew it makes the chraracter have droopy eyes and hence unattractive.

also play around with the shapes, rounded bang end look boring

Messy lines aside and the cigar holding hand that I will redo, what do you think?

>>6360097
make the cigar larger, like your fat traditional cigar, it'll get the message across a bit more in comparison to a cigarette

>>6360097
i was about to complain about those comically small hips on the girl but i guess I'm just reading it wrong? idk, it could be the jeans facing the left too much.
Not sure what's going on with the red guy's right arm.

>>6359991
you still have no constructive or sense of anatomy. style comes second to actually knowing your fundies. i will give you props for doing two characters, and somewhat of a background but you gotta study some real bodies first.

>>6360104
>i was about to complain about those comically small hips on the girl but i guess I'm just reading it wrong? idk
the clothing is in the way. The dude right arm is just hangin there, I didnt botter detailing the hand itself since is so near the border

>>6360116
form over clothing imo

>>6360064
>>6360074
My reference is a literal human model.
I have no idea what you guys are on about

>>6359574
100% bullshit. every artist or ANYONE starting a new hobby starts off copying their heroes. Im so sick of you fags keeping begs in the gutter by telling them they need to focus on fundies before anything else. Not one, and I mean NOT ONE single good artist alive today started their art journey by practicing fundies before just having fun trying to draw what looks cool. Fuck all the way off with this bullshit. What that anon did is fine. He just needs to draw from reference like that consistently and he will have it down pat.

>>6360160
Ignore them
This is the only advice you need

>>6360160
yeah anon ignore those posts, the pose isn't terrible; i already mentioned my issue with the faces though, just work on those

>>6360171
elaborate? my brain is smooth af i dont get it

>>6360204
just learn to paint instead of worrying about line work

Need help friends. Anyone have any tips on broad light source for my character here? The grey sky has no direct sunlight, plus character is shin deep in water (reflections?). would that not suggest a soft lightsource from all directions? also how deep should the values be?

>>6360222
your current wip suggests some light is coming from the horizon. Maybe add some fire onto the shipwreck to have another lightsource you can work with.

>>6360222
grey sky implies softened, diffused light, so there is still light coming down, but it's not really much of a key light

the other anon had a good idea of adding flames onto the wreckage, that'd give you a warm backlight

another solid cheat would be to add lights onto the suit

I've got a laundry list of things to improve on but if there's anything glaring I've completely missed please tell me, because I've gone completely blind looking at this. Any criticism is appreciated.

>>6360242
shoulders are way too wide compared to the diminute waist.

>>6360245
If I wanted to correct it should I widen the waist or shorten the shoulder distance?

>>6360222
ayy lmao

>>6360252
You should just redo it. Its not a thing about individual parts size. If you shrink the shoulders then the torso will be oversized. If you expand the waist, you will have to redraw the arm to compensate the change.

>>6360242
Even with a cinched waist, her coat wouldn't fit that close to her waist. Take a look at photos of women's blazers for reference. Otherwise, you're on the right track and I like your style

I wasn't sure how to shade the ramp. Learning from a book. It told me to make two ramps, but I told myself I can turn one set into stairs.

>>6360260
Thanks, I see what you mean. I'll work on the ratios better. I think halfway through I shifted the angle and it got warped.
>>6360262
Yeah I should look at more irl references, I was looking at too much fanart of girls in jackets instead of the real thing, want the jacket to look proper. Thank you.

>>6360222
One notable detail missing is that the two towers on the bg have reflections on the water surface the crashed spaceship and the character in the foreground do not have reflection on the water. This might be intentional by you but not a natural appearance.

>>6360228
you've never looked at the sky before

>>6360228
horizon always has lighter hue bc of the atmosphere. it's not a source of light

With grinding loomis heads from reference, I should be thinking about relationships and commiting them to memory right? Like what happens at different angles/heights

The whole point is to do it enough that you can get an intuitive sense of how to construct a head at different angles correct?

How do I draw panties?

>>6360263
do some boxes in 2 point perspective first

halfway through the lineart

>>6360357
how did get the lines nice and fluffy

Just started going through the figure drawing design and invention book, I both tried copying the example figures and then trying to do one from a reference.
I think I did ok when copying the examples but when it came to doing my own one from a reference it totally bombed. Not too sure how it happened.

>>6360359

>>6360361
Here's the figure drawing from a reference.

>>6360358
copy your lineart layer, then apply gaussian blur on it. Then set the opacity at your discretion.

>>6360402
>You can draw the simple forms right?
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not too sure. If my first copies are ok then I guess I must be on the right track with drawing simple forms.
>You just need to see the simple forms in the reference
Well, hopefully going through this book enough times and doing these as exercises can help me better with references.

put the black dot aka pupil inside the iris and the light reflection

>>6360433
ToT

>>6360444
Added pupil to the eye but it still looks off to me

>>6360442
Pantsu

>>6359053
you can train your eye looking at the angles or try a grid method if you want to be good at copying. Be hopeful, any step is progress like it or not

>>6358608
its best to work on black and white to match the values, make a new layer on top with color property and paint all black to add the black and white filter

>>6360458
looks more alive to me, but thats it.
try looking references on anime, i also have the same problem trying to get the look

You fucking wish

This is paint.net layer tracing job.

>>6360222
have you thought about changing up the contrast - making the bg light and figure darker to give more atmosphere?

Hello beg. This book was a mistake. lolololo

>>6360595
looks VERY uncanny, you fucked up shadows on her apple holding hand so wrist is completely flat
>>6360499
explain to me what advantage such obscure website holds over lets say /beg or deviatnart? I am not trying to be mean, just realistic

very nice one, the tone and she even has a nose despite being anime-ish!

disturbing awesome art piece. i kneel
>>6359886
how did you make that... texture? Am i looking at real life painting? What medium is this?
>>6359605
you will get more (You)s when you learn how to take proper photo of your drawings. Hint: bright lighting and setting camera to macro mode / tapping on the line so it focuses on it
>>6359398
you are kinda INT. Open some book for ints or try to draw one big piece. Alternatively go into rendering / color
>>6359203
People who draw like you are rare (making all curves with "sharp edges"). I like it!
>>6359178
>>6359155
Your pic has no value range. Turn it into grayscale to see it. Even in grayscale you want to have nice contrast unless you have a very specific mood plan for the pic.

>>6360595
looks like a wikihow illustration

I found my drawings stiff as fuck so I decided to just do loose stuff like picrel. It isn't as accurate but it's a lot of fun to do. I still need to organize the lines better tho.

>>6360620
Sick man. I'll try that. That gives me more way to emphasize the character, which is what i wanted anyway.

>>6358431
Please give feedback for the face and hair. I know the gesture is unrealistically twisty but I'm fine with how I pushed that part.

>>6360686
hair is fine stylized as it is, I think I'd work on placing the features on the face better to give impression of depth. Here's how I'd do it, hope it makes sense

>>6360645
>you will get more (You)s when you learn how to take proper photo of your drawings. Hint: bright lighting and setting camera to macro mode / tapping on the line so it focuses on it
oh I actually don't give a shit about getting (You)s, i'm just here to shoot the shit with everyone else

Tonight's sketches

I wish I had the time and freedom to sit at a desk and grind out studies instead of only drawing for a few minutes before falling asleep.

Any recommendation in technical side of art fundamentals. I completely applied my observation drawing but my hands are not that great when it comes to drawing shapes and shading.

>>6360738
Pic rel

>>6360738
I remember the frustration when I firsr started drawing that I couldn't put lines where I wanted them. After a few months of daily practice my motor skills were finally under control. You don't have to worry about special exercises or anything just work through it.

>>6360222
ayyyy I like this a lot design-wise

>>6360645
oh it's not a painting, just your old pal' graphite pencils. and for the orange i just did some hatching here and there.
and may i ask are those drawings of yours came from this book? https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Way-Draw-Working-Study/dp/0395530075
i intend to read this book but kinda skeptical since i heard bad reviews abt it.

>>6360738
Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching.

>>6360161
Ah yes of course, this is also true for Chess.
No need to learn openings, tactics or any theory. Just go blindly and play thousands of games online, you'll get good in no time.

>>6360765
Yes, if you're a high tech brick. Just bump the thousand games to a few hundred millions

>>6360499
There's forum posts on that website that date all the way back to 2004 lol

a WIP sketch

>>6360868
Ok Marc, is she (feminine penis) playing twister?

i liked this one.

>>6360958
Hatch in the shading it makes it look like she peed herself.

couple figure drawings from today (1 of 2)

>>6360743
Aight mate thanks for the tip.
>>6360759
I'm not gonna go to his courses just yet.

this one was much more random, just sketching while talking with a friend

Quick fun stuff; not much time to just sit down and draw this week.

>>6359574
They hated him because he told the truth

>>6352939

>>6360956
who tf is Marc?

>>6361242
The voice in their head.

>>6360956

>>6361246
that dude was a literal schizo lmaoo

>>6360868
marc genuinely has one of the most disgusting styles i have ever seen, i really do not recommend getting too familiar with it, he focuses far too much on anatomy and heavily suffers from same face syndrome

>>6361320
>same face syndrome
He draws anime?

>>6361331
You don't have to draw anime to have same face syndrome
Look at incase

>>6361110
nice bond burger

>>6361331
i wouldn't really call this anime; anyway it isn't a terrible drawing, but my case regarding faces remains

>>6361320
idk who marc is but the reason the girl i drew as the muscles is because she is a elfven princess.

There race is above the peak human, meaning they are literally shredded.

am i a brainlet for not understanding cross contours? is there an easy mode to practice on before trying to be the fang zoo guy?

Practise for today, harsh critique welcome
>>6360958

Did you use ayylmao memes as reference?
Fucking bulbhead motherfuckers
Wtf is up with those eyes?
Shorty (literally is she a midget?) got booty though
There better not be some fat cock in front
I could go on,but now I'm wondering does she have one?

How is the shading and colouring looking here? It what I’m really trying to work on atm

>>6358443
If it bothers you that much, challenge them, get your soul crushed, and then try again.

>>6361386
>am i a brainlet for not understanding cross contours?
Yes.

>is there an easy mode to practice on before trying to be the fang zoo guy?
Spheres, cylinders and rectangulons.

>>6358608
hunter eyes vs prey eyes

>>6361573
The shading and coloring are fine. Go back a step and work on your drawing skills. What you drew looks nothing like your reference.

>>6361643
The reference is there for the colours...

pew

>>6358431
Any advice?

>>6361646
You desperately need a reference for the head. You've drawn somebody with ears growing out of her cheeks. Working with colors and shading is fruitless with such a poor underdrawing.
>>6361417
Your drawings remind me of my own. You aren't indicating the plane change in the head the occurs around the end of the eyebrow. Look how the head stops on the negative space on the one side, you also need to draw that plane on the other side even though you can still see the sode of the head. Its throwing off your ear placement and making the side of the head look like its melting. I tried to do a redline to show what I mean, sorry if I'm not being clear.

>>6361417
Hopefully this is more clear. If the head is box shaped, the edge of the eyebrow is the edge of the box.

>>6361668
more constrast

>>6361417
Got a reference for masked booty? For, uh, my own research.

>>6361671
>>6361679
Different anon. Are you saying that this anon >>6361417 needs to make the side of the head flat before adding details? For example, the side of top left guy's head looks continously wide with the front of the head?

I drew a yugioh monster.
it's an alernate form of the guy in the OP.

>>6361723
reference

>>6361723
fuckin sick anon, Im jelly

Bros how do I escape extreme hyper pre /beg/?

>>6361723
and With that, i have drawn all 3 forms of my favorite yugioh Monster.
he is an undead Super Hero with a lust for vengeance.
Here they are oldest to newest, i like to think i get a little better each time i draw him.
sorry for spam.

>>6361639
shit you're right

>>6360357
pose looks stiff as hell, i asssume her weight is resting on her left arm instead looks like shes reaching something, hips is too small and narrow, twigs legs. her right arm proportions are off, look at the difference between her forearm and arm, the perspective is fucked off or something, you can see the belt is showing us a view from above but her upper body is in front view just like her legs so wtf is going on there, also the drappery on her suit(right side hip) is sticked to her body.

>>6361760
ok, idont know man, good observations on the clothing though

>>6361770
that's because your interpretations is off as fuck also you need to be carefull on how do you interpretate the joints of a doll into a anime/realistic proportions
