>YEAR IS LITERALLY FUCKING OVER, SHOW ME YOUR JANUARY- DECEMBER COMPARISON
I can't without getting banned.
>You did improve right?
Only ever so slightly, I didn't draw anywhere near enough to show anything for it.

>>6408177
No comparisons but here’s Beidou from Genshin Impact. I have almost zero motivation to finish her tho. Depression sux

>>6408177
A little

no more neuroplastisity

give me 22 more days

proko was never good

>>6408207
wtf LMAO

>>6408207
keep drawing bro

i draw gay furry porn
havent finished anything for december yet
https://files.catbox.moe/gy1h1u.png

My main focus was to get better at coloring skin, especially fetish areas like feet, neck/clavicle, and stomach. I did way more studies/practice than completed artworks. I'm overall satisfied with my progress. Next year I'll draw more full bodies, do more gesture studies, and make completed artworks in a consistent style.

>>6408211
you can draw interacting characters and more interesting poses and faces now. I think it's progress.

>>6408406
God damn that's some improvement right there.

>>6408207
I've seen a LOT of DeviantArt and ArtStation galleries where artists go from this style to very intricate, detailed, and masterful renderings. Keep grinding and you're gmi.

>>6408177
I did improve, but every now and then I suddenly freak out about how ngmi I am and dispose of all my drawings so that there is no proof that I ever drew something cringe. So, I can't show my progression.

>>6408211
this is great, please never stop drawing anon!

I think i did good this year

>>6408180
I thought he was trying to draw a dog and he just said kangaroo to save face

You've improved face goodjob

>>6408183
yes but i won't show you because i'm a paranoid schizophrenic

i only draw on a few sheets of paper that i continually erase or on sand.

>>6408453
i kneel

>ITT pretentious self gloating
You don't see any improvement until you have drawn for at least a good number of years, a single year will not yield any proceeds.

>>6408712
anon, if you didn't improve even a bit in ONE YEAR ( >360 days), you probably are not commiting enough time to drawing.

>>6408712
ngmi

>>6408183
I've improved a crazy amount over the last 2 years but I dont feel like sharing because people like >>6408692 will just shit on me regardless.

>>6408712
Mikufag, just because you can't improve in a literal decade it doesn't mean people can't improve in just a single year. Talent still exists even if you don't have it, you now.

>>6408722
That never happens here. We’re all deeply vested in helping you improve, you dumb fucking retards NGMI. But hey, I get it, you’re too much of a pussy assed faggot to take some constructive criticism.

>>6408722
you dont get anything out of posting on here anyways, who gives a shit

>>6408733
Aww. Did someone rightly call you NGMI? Maybe you need to stop being a pussy.

>>6408703

A year is relative to the person doing the needful. Sirs, if you redeem at least two hours per day you will have a good year. A person who has not done the needful consistently he will not redeem and his year will not achieve quality performance.

an attempt was made

>>6408754
You’re the pussy, faggot.

>>6408811
I think you're talented, but I have to be honest: you've plateaued. Try working in another style for awhile. God bless.

>>6408894
>no work
thats what i thought, permabeg ngmi, turns out you were projecting all along

>>6408896
I draw better than anyone here. Me not posting proof is only to spare you the humiliation. It doesn’t negate my insight.

>>6408898
what's with these larpers lately?

>>6408898
We want to be humiliated, anon.

Didn't have much from this year because I've just started again after a long break.

>>6408712
>a single year will not yield any proceeds.

>>6408177
The kangaroo looks like sheer panic. Look at how the contour lines don’t even seem to follow perspective and how they all have a roughly equal minor axis length.

>>6409131
>when the teacher says it's not an open book test

2 years drawing now.

Everything in 2021 is from ref except the lady in wellies is from imagination.
Everything in 2022 is from imagination. I guess I used ref for the characters in the Komi one, but the poses are from imagination.

Plan for 2023: just keep trying to get better at drawing naked ladies.

>>6408995
hi sempai

>>6409207
holy fuck i didn't know you were drawing for that short of a time! I would've thought you had 10 years under your belt

>>6409207
where'd you get your figure refs from? really nice stuff

Between these drawings there are thousands of other studies and practices.

>>6409828
doesnt look like it

>>6409868
There's definitely some good progress though. I'm sure you'll be happy to show your progress too.

>>6408981
Masterpiece

>>6408453
Nice work anon.

I feel like I'm just floundering around, I spent a big chunk in the middle of the year trying to focus on gesture and then buildings in basic perspective and don't really have anything to show for it. I stopped trying to make finished things too and do more quantity but I'm not sure its helping.

>>6408406
nice anon, keep grinding
makes me want to work on skin as well because i kind of suck at it.

>>6408207
keep working and draw other things than anime girls please

>>6408211
i like your art it's cute, i would like to see some of your colored works

>>6408453
not a fan of the 3D models but your 2022 sketches are fun, you should dig it it's cool

>>6408703
nice progress, want to see some rendered works

>>6408811
still looks stiff + you should focus on colors

>>6408981
soul

>>6409062
nice, maybe try other mediums like paint so you can understand volumes better

>>6409207
i really like your style, post more

>>6409828
nice progress but please try other coloring methods

>>6408722
That's exactly the reason you post your art online anyways whenever you want. No matter how god tier your work is someone, somewhere will hate it. Its literally one of the few lessons you and learn from this board.

>>6408692
as apposed to? fucking coomer garbage like everyone else in this thread?
>>6408453
nice weaponized pangolin! good progress.

>>6408722
>ic will never be like the glory days

>>6408692
Uh haha have you tried making something in blender, kid?

>>6410210
blame coomers and schizos, furries and pedos made it worse, no one making legit money with art will post their art here anymore unless the board culture change back

>>6410210
you did not draw in the "golden age" of /ic/ and you still do not draw to this day.

>>6408334
What's your fa??

>>6410352
I wish I could've but I started nearly a decade later. Even so I'm nearing their levels of progression despite being worst at the start and was never artistically inclined when I was young

>>6408177
Unrelated but every time I see these tiny, deformed dogs I get sad. Like, they was wolves and shit. Now look at em, ugly and with health issues.

Very good progress, keep it up anon

Not my best works but anyway

>>6410756
Forgot my progress pic

next years goal is to get better at rendering

>>6408177

>>6411036
sucks

>>6408692
never ever leaving the bucket crabby, lmao

>>6411036
You're focusing on the wrong shit. You need to get good at anatomy, volumes, values... Copying lighting tricks from tutorials won't plug the gaps.

>>6411163
blah blah blah pyw

>>6410760
Good grind. I like your figure practice, you've come a long way since January

>>6408692
Honestly, i agree with you. His sketches are nice and all but all those modelling works are really generic and bland. Maybe it's fine for practice or if he gets paid for them but that still doesn't make them any good

I did a progress pic a couple of months ago. Feeling too lazy to do a new one.

>>6411304
You have regressed

>>6411304
poopy!!

>>6411326
That’s what I’ve been told.
>>6411328
That, too.

My art improvement after overdosing and having a stroke. great for science lmfao

2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQVHsriLGt0

2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1vxKoTpxyw

I think that i have improved a little, but it may look just as bad throughout to anyone else.

>>6411405
May i ask how did you learn? I struggle a lot with figure drawing

I recently started drawing or trying to learn a little bit more properly. Around 5-6 weeks I'd say. I used to draw as a kid but I never gave it a serious try, I always gave up and never kept at it. A few weeks ago I had a massive need and motivation to draw so I've been keeping at it, doing a little bit of gesture drawing, form drawing, poses, breaking down body parts/references into smaller parts and trying to understand them. I'm doing a lot of quick drawings from quick poses and after that having fun drawing characters I like I want to get more volume in, have more mental "references". At the end of the day generic cute anime girls are my main motivation to draw(not everything), but I want to get better, I want to be able to do what I want.

>>6411360
I love your style. Plase marry me.

>>6409207
good progress, any books you recommend?

stagnant

>>6411539
Pretty cool. Keep working please you have some talent.

>>6411460
cute drunkard

>>6411539
I really like the madoka, I think you should do more challenging body proportions as your faces and coloring seem to be decent already

>>6411539
vs when i was 16

>>6411453
Just draw from reference. Over time you'll naturally increase in accuracy and proportion. Also don't draw the idea of what you think you see. (pic related)

>>6412017
(pic)

Fuck. I made literally no progress

>>6411539
blog?

>>6411270
Thanks, bro.

>>6410561
'mirin those gains bro

>>6411405
Saw some of your videos the other day,
I love how you draw figures so consistently and so solidly. I fell off the studies wagon a while ago and got wrapped up in endless cartoon fanart commissions to the point that it will take me a while to draw a normal person again, but works like that make me want to get back to (real) figure drawing.

>>6412376
>>6410728
Thanks anon, the fact i love drawing muscular beastmen really doubles as anatomy studies when i draw with bodybuilders as reference. Can't wait for morpho comparative anatomy for better animal (or animal-like) hands & feet.

>>6408192
super cute style anon, blog?

You can really tell when an artist is only comfortable drawing one specific thing.

>>6408177
i think so, not a huge jump though
a finished piece and doodle from january (top) and december

>>6408981
is it possible to achieve this natty?

I picked one from each month, want to be more consistent next year and work on heads and linework

>>6409253
Hey, thanks a lot. Looking forward to having 10 years under my belt, but I’m enjoying the process in the mean time.
>>6409260
I think the figs from jan 2021 are croquis cafe figs, then dec 2021 are proko figs, maybe. A lot of stuff can still be found in the mega links in the OP of the art book thread, I think. But some stuff might have been lost since 2021, I’m not sure.
Other than that, just picked up from random places.
>>6411492
Depends on where you’re at, skill-wise and what your goals are. But in order from when I started to now, some books I’ve found helpful are:
Vilppu drawing manual, along with the video lectures
Simultaneously, The first 10-20 pages of any book on perspective to give you a rough idea of 1,2 ,3 point perspective to aid you in the goal of drawing boxes using intuition.
Hampton
Anatomy for sculptors
That Tom fox anatomy book is pretty cool.
And lots of copying art from your favourite artists. And lots of figure drawing.

>>6408995
Really good progression! Now you can be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole

A mix of fanart and OCs.

Can't post my works in the first half of the year since they are kinda shit and also will dox me cuz I posted them on my social account I use to socialize with friends and family. Also not including the anatomy studies.

All in all a very unique year in my life. I will always look back to this first year of learning to draw. Despite the suffering and depression when looking back at my art days after finishing them, I had a lot of fun. I don't think I will ever make a living with art as I hoped at first, but as a hobby it's better than most.

>>6414032
Bruh. You spent the whole year drawing the same shit. Grab some books and study, draw realism, don't be an /asg/ permabeg.

>>6411405
How long does each figure take, dare I ask?

i think i actually got worse lol. i wasted a lot of time hyper-fixating on little things that don't matter for my goal. i'll do better this year.

>>6414404
You did get better but you still need to study. I recommend Vilppu and Hampton.

it's almost been a year since I picked up drawing, pretty happy with my progress. Pretty much everything before September was heavily referenced so it feels nice to start getting into some more fun stylized stuff. There's obviously still a lot to work on, but I look forward to it. I also wish I had some of the really early stuff I did, but I'm pretty sure I deleted them at some point.

>>6408406
>went a full year without drawing anything
nice job retard, keep grinding in the bucket with the rest of the crabs

>>6414321
About a half hour

>>6414418
i'll do that, thank you!

>>6414664
have you worked in other mediums before? (like sculpting) cause this looks really good for a first year! keep it up anon :)

>>6415666
Satan looks kindly upon your motivation

>>6415984
Thanks! No real experience in other mediums, but I did already have a pretty good understanding of photoshop which probably helped

started drawing in early april, havent drawn since november though

It's going pretty slowly, but I can feel the improvement. I didn't do enough serious studying or drawing with reference. I have another drawing I want to finish before the end of the year, but all I've done so far is block out the shapes in the reference. My goal next year is to reach a level where I would be comfortable sharing my art on social media.

>>6416861
Anon... I...

>>6416861
I chuckled at the amongus
Thanks anon

>>6408406
really nice rendering
you need to work on faces though

>>6418692
You can tell me anon. I would appreciate it.
>>6418730
Thanks for enjoying it.

I only started drawing in May this year so I don't have a full years progression yet

>>6419330
Forgot dates

>>6408406
What did you study to improve your coloring and shading anon?

>>6419330

>>6413985
Holy mother of kino
How are you so creative?

>>6413985
Anon, I would like to know why did you from 2018 in advance, change your way of drawing into a more brushy-style.
(And some advice on it too)

>>6412419
What do you use for your muscle references? I have a hard time finding good bara resources.

>>6421994
dumb coomer

>>6421928
Thanks anon, but I think they are just pretty dark. It looks worse close up

>>6408981

>>6422015
Fuck you you god damn bbc sucking nigger faggot I hope you die of monkey aids.

we "schizo" niggas post less and less art the better we get. cheap praise to glorify a fragile ego isn't worth feeding the soul harvesting brain parasites.

>>6421987
For muscled figure i used morpho muscled bodies, delavier "strength anatomy training", and "how to draw strong muscles" as study books. I also read medical anatomy textbook, mainly for origin and insertion of muscles in conjunction with morpho skeleton & bone reference points.
As for the refs i use bodybuiling magazine and studio photo from google and pinterest as they show the forms clearly.

>>6422653
Dont forget to study from master artist as they knew how how to exaggerate the silhouette while keeping the anatomy simple.

>>6422653
>>6422665
Thanks this will help a lot. I find lots of resources to draw sexy women but sexy men I am having trouble knowing where to start.

Blog?

>>6411036
I really like your artstyle, try just learning basic anatomy for drawing your characthers in more believable ways. Keep at it!!

>>6424433
I might still be /beg/ but I don't see anything especially wrong with Powers clothes. What don't you like about them?

>>6411304
kek so bad

started to learn to colour partway through the year

>>6412804
O thx anon, you can find me @snobbiez twit or ig. Might be disappointed cuz I do a lot of lazy art and various styles not just anime.

>>6426914
Hey, you are that based anon that drew for fun!

>>6426918
Yes! I post my ugly shit here from time to time.

>>6426962
You got to the point of being recognized here

August is the earliest I had

>>6408177
August is the earliest I had.

>>6413985
I appreciate the creativity but fuck those melting faces

Feels like I don't have a lot to show for this year but I also have life stuff going on that's getting in the way. Trusting that progress is coming from studies, even if I don't have a lot of finished work, but it is kind of demoralizing looking back. Hope everybody has a good 2023 and lots of gains in the coming year.

>>6426070
Seriously why does he keep wasting his time?

>>6411304
radical change of artstyles or NGMI

yikes dont smoke weed yall

Not sure if I've gotten better, probably just lazier but consequentially faster

>>6408895
>>6409979
thanks, been trying a little more saturation lately

This is all just October 2022 to now. I didn't really draw before that.

>>6428589
if you're really starting from scratch that's pretty impressive, that mech pic especially
if I had to offer advice it would just be to explore a lot of anime styles, possibly some that are closer to human proportions like FE awakening portraits

>>6428589
you're making good progress gundamfag

>>6428747
>if I had to offer advice it would just be to explore a lot of anime styles
Maybe, but anatomy is my main concern now, I struggle a lot to nail what I want. I tried to do Loomis at the beggining, but I found it so boring I just dropped it a few pages in and just jumped in to digital art with the scarse fundies knowledge I got like 15 years ago in highschool. I also want to get more confortable drawing mechs.

January & October

I didn't draw much this year

>>6427813
Anything that isn’t anime is wrong.

>>6408177
I started drawing 2 months ago. Pic related is the first thing. The last two things I drew are here:
>>6428423
>>6423050
Both of them are observational. Suggestions and resources I should really be looking at welcome.

>>6429334
I'm not sure if you improved but your january art is high effort and high quality so nice job

Haven’t drawn much this year but this was about 1.5 years go

>>6429768
Forgot pic

>>6429769
And this is what I did for December
Maybe there’s some improvement but not really as much as I’d have liked

>>6429773
This was a few days ago

another year goes by

>>6429525
Keep it up bro.
>>6429773
I like your style, you definitely have potential (unlike me).
>>6430050
I don't see much progress honestly. Granted the pictures you posted are not bad but there's much to be desired.

>>6430050
Gotta work on them proportions and dynamism man. U got everything else going for you

>>6430271
Everyone has potential. It’s just about the time you put in I think

n-next year i will git good...

>>6431078
Gonna have sex with this poster tonight

>>6431100
can you dress like my husbando pleas

>>6411036
I really like your artstyle but I find it hard to judge if some elements are a stylistic choice or just lack of skill masked with style. Maybe that's on me though because I'm a turbobeg. Anyway I respect that you got your own style that's distinct from the legions of generic animefaggots but with styles like these I think you should be careful that it doesn't become an excuse for fuckups or lack of skill.

>>6430050
nice colors dood, if you min max your anatomy and composition you made it

>>6421994
Weird face and feet, sorry anon you're not yet at the level where I can jerk off to your stuff

left was this February, right was this november. I learned a lot in art school this year. Maybe i will enter my piece into a drawing contest

>>6431163
if I get another backhanded compliment I'm shooting up comiket

>>6430271
At first I was pissed about how far I got in two months but then I realized it wasn't that bad
Now I hope I don't get stuck again

>>6431723
Pls don't feel bad anon, I really like your art. I really wasn't trying to rip you apart while trying to sound nice or something but I guess it came across that way

>>6432493
I am genuinely unsure, but thank you

>>6432509
Sorry, I mistook you for another artist I was thinking of even though your styles aren't even similar. It had been a while.

>>6432472
I'm >>6428247 , I closed comms for now because I thought they were distracting me from getting better. Any advice on what I should study next year?

>>6432472
Shut up crab

>>6430050
how do i learn color theory like you? is it something that came naturally to you?

4 sketchbooks this year
With over 1000 A4 training and redrawing what I've learned
My main focus this year was to stylize anatomy (that I studied from my beloved Glenn vilppu) and study different artist that I like
But I still have a lot to learn and study
Wish me luck and we all gonna make it eventually
Also here's some of my drawings in this thread
>>6396099

>>6408211
Great work! Yotsuba shilling the goypass is coal though

>>6411036
Maybe if you focused more on learning to draw and less on politics and 'owning the libs' you might actually get somewhere. Good luck.

your getting there king good stuff

I don't know if I'm good. Pic rel is my recent practice made with pure ink, no, sketch. I tried to think more with each brush stroke

Started drawing back up July 25 this is me redoing my first drawing today, 5 months later.

Progress from starting up again on digital to the most recent thing in December (Odin). I'm hoping Im at least in beginner tier at this point. Mostly trying comic stuff to make D&D based comics and pinups for friends.

>>6408712
>a single year
>365 days in a year
if we multiply that by any amount of time, we can get a certain number of hours in a year
so
>1 hour == 365 hours total
>2 hours == 730 hours total
>3 hours == 1095 hours total
>4 hours == 1460 hours total
>5 hours == 1825 hours total
>6 hours == 2190 hours total
typically, if we break down skills into their micro-facets, we can learn something in about 25 hours
if we're really bad at that subject, it might take 50 hours but you'll usually achieve ability before that time

for instance, if you wanted to draw hands, it's not going to take you 10,000 hours as some autists suggest but rather 25 to 50 hours total
this is 25 to 50 hours of actual drawing not getting up to get a drink of water and then shit posting on /ic/ and then including that time into your timeframe of drawing

even though, as mentioned before, it wouldn't take 50 hours but lets say it does, here's the progression if we were to learn micro-skills (drawing hands or other very specific things)
>365 hours == 7 micro skills
>730 hours == 14 micro skills
>1095 hours == 21 micro skills
>1460 hours == 29 micro skills
>1825 hours == 36 micro skills
>2190 hours == 43 micro skills
This means that if you do the bare minimum of drawing every single day for at least an hour, you SHOULD have become at least comfortable drawing at least 7 micro skills
hell, even if you split the 7 micro-skills learned in those 365 hours and say that the person did the absolute BARE minimum to learn just ONE micro-skill
>7/2 (30m) == 3.5 micro-skills
>3.5/2 (15m) == 1.75 micro-skills
this means that if you draw for a bare minimum of 15 minutes per day, focusing on a specific micro-skill, you HAVE to at least be good or at least decent at that one ability

there's no way you spend 50 hours drawing Loomis heads (unless you don't understand form, which in that case you need to study perspective and form before learning to draw the human body) and still draw it like shit

Was just drawing the same dude OC the whole year bc I love him way too much
Tried to learn using watercolour markers... need to do that shit more often

I lost my progress sheet for 2020. I’m working on animations. Some of my images are shots from a short gif. Most of my work this year didn’t make it on.

how do i improve like this,,,

>>6437634
>improve

lost some of my older stuff but I think these are all for the correct years.

I need to work on a lot but I feel like faces and proper body proportions are what I'm gonna try and focus on for 2023... gotta learn to stop rushing the sketching phase as well.

Above is what I finished a day ago, below is around Feb, still managed to complete my first year of Digital art

here is my 10 year one

>>6438284
Man what happened. You started off so well.

>>6438093
Anon learn to draw this is fucking scary.

I only draw sparingly in time, so I don't really have specific dated for a lot of the stuff I draw.

extremly based
now I can put my work on a mathemtical scale like the autist I am

Rarely render my stuff, was pretty happy with how my recent one came out so I wanted to show some rendering progress

Last time I did a fully coloured+rendered/painted thing for this character was 2 years ago

Plus the last time I did a fully rendered anything (that I could immediately find at least) more than a year ago

I started 2 years ago, is this ok/expected progress for a /beg/?

>>6408177
man i cant never bring myself to finish my illustrations so its kinda hard to partecipate to any /ic/ related thread or even ask for help because its always finished piece with days on it vs a simple 1-2 hours sketch

>>6436780

>>6437749
what the FUCK happened between 2021 and 2022?

All the people who got decent fast make me feel bad because I'm not getting that, and all the people who only got a little better make me feel bad because that's all I have to look forward to

>>6438567
my friending i am doing the try

Looking good. Keep it up king!

Last thing I drew in 2022.

I've decided to finally give up on drawing as anything but a high effort hobby. I really gave it my best shot but this year was my deadline and even though I'm steadily approaching /pro/ levels, I'm no closer to attaining my goals. Good luck to anyone with sfw career aspirations.

>>6439255
This is the most /ic/ thing ever. Never change kek

>>6408177
prompt?

>>6439032
I started using references a lot more, and kinda got a basic grasp on breaking things down into basic shapes.
I also spent a lot more time on drawings rather than jumping from one drawing to the next in a span of a day or two

>>6439242
>>6439245
BBC do you have a sfw blog? Porn rots your brain but I like your art.

>>6411460

blog/discord?

>>6437749
lol I doodled the cone head kid too, fun reference
progress looks great, keep it up!

:V

>>6438752
I'm also a /beg/ but I started around the same time as you and my stuff is worse, like middle schooler deviantart tier. I haven't really grinded fundies like that though.

>>6439617
I don't recommend it. Only reason I did it was because "just draw" wasn't working. It is soul crushing and near the end of it I was only practicing 20-30 min every other day and would have probably quit if an anon didn't tell me I should probably just try to draw random stuff again. I didn't show it in that progress picture but I also grinded a heap of figure drawing which was pure mind raping demoralisation. I now feel like I need to grind drapery but will probably never pure grind fundies ever again and just practice from reference when drawing my own stuff.

>>6413751
Blog?

I'm going to need a full-size version of the arbiter picture.

>>6431703
Look at this fucking amateur. Anatomy's all wrong, composition and color are laughable. Do you even proko, bro? As a connoisseur of all things internet art, I recommend binge watching every video ever made on youtube so you can get some fucking fundamentals under your belt. Disgusting.

>>6408177
I didn't draw anything for the first 6 months of the year so I didn't see much progress. The time I was drawing though I was focusing on some different styles and doing a bit of trad, so we'll see if that pays dividends later.

Trying to make my headshots more expressive. been studying ways to add more shadows and highlights along with some eastern facial features.

>>6438752
Yes, roughly speaking. /beg/niggers are cruel, especially to honest beginners like your pic

>>6441447
The same face syndrome is getting out of hand.

I-I didn't draw...
Anything...

>>6441989
Sorry I'm Russian i only know deadpan stares :(

>>6442025
Study some real faces mate, if you don't want to draw the same fucking face at the exact same angle doing the exact fucking thing.
The face is pretty much the most important part of the figure, people always look at it first.

>>6438284
solid. i like it

>>6408714
How long does something like that take you before and after rendering?

>>6408712

you've gotten better, keep at it anon

I didn’t draw very much at all this year, feels bad. Worse yet, I have almost totally lost my drive to color anything. Everyday I mald a little bit when I see art majors on campus. The one throwaway extra credit test question I got last semester that allowed for even a tiny bit of self expression brought so much light back into my life.

havent done much at all this year
pic related are the main ones I think

i lowkey stagnating this year bc i only drew like a total of 20 times

>>6438284
Where are your finished pieces?

>>6436733
Bro, your Odin is legit good.

i'd like to think i didnt stagnate but its hard to tell personally

drew like maybe 10 times this year and nothings finished rip. Top from the start of this yr bottom from a few days ago

>>6444425
I really hope you're a real australian and not some larper

>>6444777
thats probably what I will work on next year also trips

January -> Last week
I used to focus too much on form and details instead of movement so my gesture drawings looked really bad. I did a lot of gesture drawings (even 1000 30seconds in one week) till I was able to stop focusing so much on details. I got better but this last month I've been trying to get better at painting so in my recent gestures, even though I try to give movement/force to the poses, I end up focusing more on shapes and shadows.
I know that's not what gesture drawings are for, but I've already done thousands and thousands of them, so I'm okay with not focusing on movement/force and just using them as warm up.

>>6411539
how many times must i force you to draw, willy?

>>6422653
morpho is horribly inaccurate, stick to delavier and anatomy for sculptors. ironically proko has very

>>6449206
for exaggerated/stylized muscles it's alright but yeah if you're looking for more realistic-looking one the book you mentioned is beter

2022 I decided to pick up drawing seriously. Here is one year of drawing one page per day, just 45 minutes to an hour. Rate my progress.

here it is. Trying to transition to drawing with less and less references for anthro anatomy.

I started ~late Jan/early Feb, I didn't do as much as I wanted but overall I think I did okay.

I'll be honest with you, pal. You did horrible. Unless your goal is to draw calarts that's it.
>>6451194
Did you only draw a basedjack in 21?

>>6451448

These are by far the most distinct things in this thread, and I like the personality in them.

>>6452147
This is fine, your anatomy and composition is pretty good. Hope to be at a level like that myself this year. You'd benefit a lot from coloring with wider values and using less of the dodge tool or whatever's making your colors too shiny. Maybe do a few background/color studies too
