Previous thread: >>6588184

is it viable to try and design a character starting with their silhouette?

>>6592470
yeah, maybe, um, probably? No? I think you can...

Drawing a friends OC, needs some polish I'll do after a break
>>6592470
i dunno about viable but that's how i do it

>>6592475
do you have any sort of process for it? i feel like it would be really useful for making standout features, but every time i try i just sort of end up with a blob

After being inspired by an older post, I completed the main lessons from Art Academy for Nintendo DS. The lessons were well thought-out with a good balance between freedom and restrictions to focus on real work, rather than just settings. Every lesson was great, except for the last one on landscapes. The swan lesson was my favorite. Before this, I avoided painting, but now I plan to do it more frequently as the game gave me the basic tools to create simple art.

Reposting from last thread.

gesture or anatomy first? what helps the other more?

>>6592493
both

>>6592493
I would say anatomy informs gesture.

>>6592493
Gesture>Anatomy/proportions>Line quality
You can focus on one for a while, but they all rely on each other so eventually you'll hit a wall.

>>6592502
line quality is just a side-effect of learning to draw, i think

>>6592497
>>6592500
>>6592502
fug really sounds like both
tfw i'm too peabrained to properly focus on multiple things at once. i will do my best though, senpais
>>6592510
tbf i've heard of people fucking their line quality by either turning their stabilizer way too high or always doing short, chicken scratchy lines. not sure how true it is, but it sounds plausible

>>6592513
I really really really suggest this guide. It'll last you 2-3 years

I updated the faces of the men gangraping Elly.

>>6592510
lines not even nessary

>>6592518
whoa this is the first time i've seen this guide. thank you, anon!

>>6592493
If you have to ask, gesture and 3d blobs/shapes. Anatomy isn't going to help you grow in early stages.

>>6592529
gmi!

>>6592491
Is the breast volume consistent between each pose?

i'm using csp and a wacom intuos pro
not sure what happened, but every time i touch the pen to the tablet there's a bit of startup lag and idk where it's coming from
fast strokes it isn't really noticeable, but for slow strokes i can move my hand like a quarter of a center without anything happening, then the cursor jumps to a new spot on the canvas
any ideas what's causing this?

>>6592403

>>6592548
nvm i'm a dumbass and didn't notice windows ink got reenabled in the wacom manager

>>6592483
Very messy. The dog gets lost in the background.

>Try painting for the first time
>It's a mess
I'll just stay in my lane and do lineart, because this is overwhelming

How do you even start with this stuff?

>>6592632
first step for you is learning to copy a reference accurately. Look at how recessed of a chin you gave him.

>>6592639
I agree, shit's fucked but this is overwhelming.
Do you copy with a lineart? Or do you directly block-in a single value and rather copy the silhouette?

>>6592640
Copy with line-art first. That was the traditional way to do it. You can always paint over it

.

>>6592651
How often do you do something like this?

>>6592632
portraits are not the best to start with, start with simple still life or shapes in Grisaille. Check >>6592480 art academy the lime lesson gives a simple workflow for painting still life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5O2WSu_2yc

how do you take good photos of sketches anyway

Reposting my question - what did I do wrong with the colors? Feels off to me.

Hello, what's a good guide on how to draw hands?
Not searching for realism, I'd be glad if you could help me.

>>6592808
Study hands drawn by an artist you like. If you really need more guidance, just pick whichever book/course fits the style you want most and find their chapter on hands.
But really, it all comes down to the same: study hands, copy hands.

>>6592767
It looks good to me

>>6592767
i'm beg so I can't give you advice but the colors feel fine to me. I would coom to your work

Do you , my fellow /begs/, have a "checkpoint" drawing that you use to test if you have gotten any better? If so, I want to see them to see your gains.
That and I want to see others' drawings to appropriate any techniques I think are cool into my own.

1h30min warmups

>>6592470

Nothing wrong with it. Great way to find, eh, fun silhouettes.

>>6592475

Love the rough brush work. Very jelly, I have a hard time just getting messy. Very good looking stuff. Got any finished works to show? Cool fingers.

>>6592480

Pretty cool! That dog has some serious soul to it, and the swans colors are superb.

>>6592491
Cool brush work, but as the other guy said, the dog gets lost in the background a little bit. I would also recommend you to scale down the drawing a bit before posting, since now it gets too big when you open it up.

>>6592491

Good job! Nice structure.

>>6592596
Good lines and it shows that you've done some anatomy studies. Don't shy away from using black. More anatomy studies + I'd pay attention to proportions (small hands), and studying structure never hurt anyone. Also, the face is pretty far behind the rest, but faces are hard.

>>6592632

It's okay to just stick to what you like. BUT: Start with something much more simple. You could create a grid on top of this reference and your drawing and compare to see where you went off, just to train to not draw what you know, but to draw what you actually see. For example, your drawing almost has the eyeglasses correct, but the whole face starts to lean too much to the right. Try to just copy the silhouette of the face and ignore the details.

>>6592767

Suggest you to resize the image before posting, opens up yuuge. BUT: the colors seem super fine. Reminds me of Ken Sughimoris pokemon card illustrations.

>>6592480
Did you play it on an actual DS, or PC emu + tablet? If the latter, did it handle well enough?

>>6592847
I cant even tell which is which.

>>6592867
Look I know both are shit, I'm not claiming I gained much, but come on, the left is worse.

what did you use as reference for her head and body?

>>6592882

Might wanna check this thread

Pretty sure some guy translated them into english with a script, might wanna check the artbook thread.
Hands are great to learn since you always have your reference right there.

>>6592949
I'm still not sure what you mean? Is try the name of the artist? I didn't find any artist with that name.

>>6592852
Kino forms.
Back on the right doesn't look correct though, too broad for a woman. It's 4 heads wide

>>6592965
Thanks!

>Back on the right doesn't look correct though, too broad for a woman. It's 4 heads wide
Can be, although it's supposed to be a very muscular back.

>>6592852
I like your arms, maybe work on the hatch the sword looks like made of cardboard. Dana Gibson has some great ideas to hatching face features.
>Pretty cool! That dog has some serious soul to it, and the swans colors are superb.
thanks, I really liked the color mix engine it felt way easier to learn an understand than the hsv color wheel. It looked something like this but with better base colors: https://trycolors.com/

>>6592858
I used DeSmuME + wacom one it worked great (I also tried a screenless tablet and it worked fine too). I did it that way because I wanted to have a seamless experience and not bother with find the right brushes and colors. Now that I have a good grasp of the workflow and the brushes qualities I will do the extra lessons on Krita.

>>6593029
lovely stuff

>>6592480
Pretty good, too bad I didn't save mine and I wish there was a lesson for human faces. Skin color is weird

>>6592403
How can I improve the way I draw women? I want a Frazetta type of look one day with femininity and dynamic curves

>>6593043
And I wish there was a program that closely resembled its brushes on windows

I know it sounds dumb, but does anyone have any guides on how to actually do master's studies?

>>6592882
some pics like pic rel and doodles from Trylsc for the body
the head I did it on my own but I've studied this artist so much that my maybe my faces come out looking like his face?
my concern is whether the faces look appealing enough

>>6593045
nice drawings

>>6593058
You study the fundamentals(anatomy, proportion, ect) then try to use what you have learned and copy the master artwork.

>>6593029
I like it

>>6593058
Look at the ref, take some time to look it over, identify overall gesture, composition, major volumes, how shapes flow into each other, all that fundie nonsense.
Draw the biggest shape and/or lay down some marks, like for figures for example it's common to mark where the top and bottom will be as well as the midpoint. Then draw that one major form. Compare to the original, is it in the right place? right size? right tilt? etc. If no, fix what's wrong, if yes, move on to the next shape, rinse and repeat. Use measuring techniques like plumb/level lines, midpoints, angles, and so to check for accuracy often, and also as you copy try to understand why things are the way they are, internalize how the artist drew some part foreshortened, or how a certain element looks from w/e angle they drew it (like a head seen from below).

TLDR: Use basic fundies and techniques to make an accurate replica as possible, while also trying to understand why the artist made things a certain way and internalize them for your mental library.

Stupid question but how do i learn to copy faster? Im very slow and meticulous when i try to copy and get any degree of accuracy so even simple line copies take me forever

Not as much as I would like. Why?

How long did it take you to figure out 99% of advice on /beg/ is just begs or nodraws giving advice to other begs? Wish there was a requirement for posting work for advice to actually be considered

>>6593060
holy aeroli batman
did you use that pic as reference or is that just an example? it looks a bit different to the top right one

>>6593060
also, yes, I think you did a good job with the heads

>>6593060
Just copy the rest while you're at it.

Currently working on the leggings for Elly here on the right as well as the details on the dildos.

>>6593043
Thanks, yeah I would change the landscape lesson with one on portraits. But now I can't wait to try a John Singer Sargent study for the first time (and fail miserably)

>>6593046
This is what I'm going to try tonight.
Create 3 brushes using a dry bristles brush, make the flow decrease based on distance, 300px 700px and 1000px. To recreate the water effect I will do the same but using the blending engine instead. So you will end up with 6 to 9 brushes.

>>6593109
go cry to /msg/, this why I like /beg/

>>6593109
Not long.

>>6593110
that image was useful to see the definition of the latissimus and the deltoid with the arm raised
the 3 bumps on the back near the armpit

>>6593060
>>6593168
uh... thanks for those reference pictures. ill... use them wisely

>>6593168
>>6593060
I think I'd have trouble making anything decent out those references. I think it'd be just easier to use the actual drawing as reference

>>6592470
I use it for the hair and clothes so I can get the general shape

It's good for the parts that you want to show negative space

>>6593083
Get "good enough" at accuracy.
Try doing it faster next time.
If accuracy drops too much, slow down.
Eventually you'll reach a good mix of fast/accurate that you can tighten as your skills improve.

tried drawing flames for the first time, very simple approach but i think it works well with the cartoony look i'm going for. might try doing some backgrounds with foliage next and see if i can find a middle ground between realistic details and stylized graphic shapes like in the sleeping beauty
>>6592483

How do I draw as well as I doodle?
I got a cheap ass LCD tablet and I have never been more relaxed drawing because besides photos, these are going to be lost forever once I clean that screen, I'm doing more daring poses, the anatomy is better.
I try more and turns out I can pull it.
How do I translate that into actual finished pieces?

>>6593251
Very nice

>>6593277

I feel like whenever I try to draw a non-chibi face it comes out so weird. how to avoid this?

>>6593277
>>6593281

You have a very good understanding of form and volume. Really good anatomy knowledge too

For a big piece, maybe plan on the chalkboard, then draw on paper? Thumbnail sketching it helpful too

>>6593324
another example

WIP but opinions? Did it in 45-55 mins after returning from a pointless trip that lasted for a whole fucking day without getting any sleep. Had to do something that would at least make me relax.

Will continue to do gestures after this and eventually touch hands I promise.

>>6593324

Try softening the jawline and minimizing the cheekbones to achieve a more feminine head shape (unless the strong jawline and cheekbones were an intention).
Also, you could the mouth just a little less wide.
Aside form other minor disproportions tho, everything's good !!
To improve with facial propotions, always remember to use a reference photo
Love the art, keep it up

>>6592680
>how do you take good photos of sketches anyway
Use a light source like a desk lamp
Postion the camera over the sketch
Make sure no shadow falls over the piece, or the shadow falls on a part that can be cropped
Use your image editor of choice to vump up the brightness and contrast

>>6593331
>You have a very good understanding of form and volume. Really good anatomy knowledge too
Thanks a lot almost quads, but I mean that whenever I'm not using that, I draw like pic related.
I go full beg whenever I try to do something more intentional.
And it really pisses me off.
Like that's the most I could do before feeling exhausted.
Whenever I intentionally try I have the lowest mental stamina.

>>6593333
loomis

>>6593324
Go learn someones head drawing method. I like steve hustons 3 hour head drawing lesson on youtube a lot. Or loomis is you want to bang your head against the wall like all the other begs in this thread.

How do you force yourself to draw when you are to sad to draw? Also art quality in this thread seems higher than usual, well done anons.

>>6593331

>>6593331
>For a big piece, maybe plan on the chalkboard, then draw on paper? Thumbnail sketching it helpful too
My retard brain didn't read this, thanks a lot. Gonna try that.

>>6593397
You shouldn't force yourself to do anything if you're not in the right frame of mind. Draw if you feel like it, but see it as a way to explore what you're feeling. Some artists have created great works while in emotional distress.

>>6593397
Best way to do it is to just draw. If you can't focus then go for a walk/running and try again.

>>6593277
>>6593281
Another Doodle, perspective and strained anatomy are my weaknesses.

Please rate my artwork, I’d be interested to hesr what I could do better

I picked up james gurney’s books dirt cheap and currently watching Marco Bucci on youtube

>>6593251
looks good bro

Prebeg here, all these books talk about drawing traditionally but I only want to do (at least in the beginning) digital art. Does it translate well or is it best to learn fundamentals traditionally and follow what the books say 1:1?

>>6593475
KYS

>>6593475
going from trad to digital is easier then vice versa, but if you are only going to focus on digital just stick to that.

Heheh. Though If you put some more Indian recipes, It would make it better. I suggest that cauliflower recipe. Its really good shit.

So what do you guys think of this pic?

because books was writen 100 years ago.
Fundamentals are fundmental and medium independant

Copy bridgeman

>>6593678
What's wrong with the faces?

>>6593682
They’re horrible, but I still like them more than this piece of shit art >>6593577

>>6592493
Gesture. Gesture can make up for bad anatomy. But people won't care about the accurate anatomy if the gesture is bad.
Basically, as long as it's aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Then it's good. Anatomy is there to help really sell the illusion and add the secret sauce, but if that anatomy compromises the gesture to the point it looks unappealing, break from anatomy a bit more. It's a balancing act that takes time and effort where you might notice slight improvements after a month (kinda like weight gain, you're the first to notice it) but after 6 or so months you can really see it.

>>6593683

Any ways to fix them?

Cause with the Gazel Ministry that is what they look like.

Gesture is a myth invented by Big Art

thanks, i think the fact that my actual painting process is messy and unorganised helps contribute to the "messy" look, i actually view it as a flaw, i struggle with polish/sharp edges etc. actually finishing something after being 90% done is the hardest part for me.

Yeah those done digitally with regular round brush with some stab on and a litlle of blur tool
there are no secret at all a just do cross hatching like i would do it in trad

>>6593475
its essentially the same thing. minor differences there and there but eh. Just remember to not rely on UNDO or ERASER too much in the digital. At the beginning try to draw as if none of it exists. If you fuck up line just draw over it.
>>6593416
you could pick up keys to drawing anon. and maybe try to use real life as references, at least at the start
>>6593397
just draw sad subjects when you are sad. putting your soul and emotion into the pieces is how highest tier of art is made

How much do you draw / paint from reference vs draw / paint from imagination?

>>6594040
I’ve switched almost exclusively to drawing/painting from imagination in the past few months because its more fun, sometimes I’ll look at something in kim jung gi’s art book or go to life drawing sessions but thats about it. Before that, I was doing 99% from reference so its very helpful

>>6594030
Last one for today

Any tips on how to draw the eyes and mouth onto the face? I'm trying to imagine the eye sockets and jaws but it's still turning out kinda bad

>>6594087
Draw a tube. try drawing around the tube. You're doing pretty okay in the lower right, you just didn't commit to a round tube, it's like half-flattened.

Think about a flat line drawn around 1/3 the circumference of a tube. When you look at it from the front, you see the whole thing. from an angle, you might see the whole thing but part of it is 'compressed'. From a more acute angle, and the edge of the tube overlaps the line and you can't see that part because it is now on the opposite side of the tube.

part of the issue might be that it's hard to draw the tubes as 3d forms when it's so small. Draw the practice faces bigger and literally just draw tubes over the places the eyes and mouth should be, then wrap lines around them. It'll fuck up the drawings, but those are practice drawings anyway. Eventually you'll kinda get a handle on how to use short-hand shapes to 'find your way' and represent eyes and mouths in 3d better.

very bug booba

very big booba

>>6594087
Frankly, once you read Loomis, you have to draw from reference a couple thousand times. All the various angles you draw the face from mesh into a complete 3d understanding. It helps to draw the skull too

I suggest you copy artists you like, instead of drawing from life, because there are exact lines for you to copy

It helps. But maybe do Morpho and Yoshinari?
>>6594547
TB Choi, she does a lot of Matessi/Weston type stuff

I know the bottom looks like a ghost tail but it's supposed to be legs.

I'm trying to draw a specific pose from imagination. right now I'm just searing it into my mind by visualizing the form and components.

>>6595043
your figure drawing could use work. Draw your figures with basic shapes, cylinders, boxes

>>6595016
sorry but based dodson told me in his book i should draw what my eyes see.

>>6595044
Oh on that topic here's the under sketch, I'm honestly thinking of starting over and fixing the sketch up more properly like you said.

Pre/beg/ here. Just wanna say hello lads. I've finally managed to do a sketch after a few days of trying to do straight lines and circles.

>>6595051
here's what I might do. It's the same stuff that Vilppu, Bridgman, and Hampton talk about, breaking down the figure into the Head, Ribs, Hips, and then the limbs, and learning to freely move these around. Be sure to supplement your artwork practice with daily figure drawing

>>6595048
d-damn...

>>6595048
I'm assuming you are trolling but if you aren't you are literally not drawing what you see

What figure study sites are easy to use like http://reference.sketchdaily.net/ I pull it up on my phone but this ones getting old

I see a lot of different books grt recommended here and I don't know what to start with. I mainly want to draw cartoonish pieces and landscapes starting off traditionally and eventually moving on to digital.
Are there any good habits I should get used to doing?

>>6595069
of course im drawing what i see, is a big booty girl looking at the camera, just look at this example, is what i did.

>>6595097
learning this new tool, need help

how do i learn to shade properly?
this skull i drew looks like it has bug eyes

Is there anything about drawing stuff ON spheres in perspective? Like the lines on a basketball for instance, surely there's got to be stuff about how to draw that sort of thing correctly.

>>6595107
i think you should make the rigde bones under the eye socket pop out more

>>6595223
Spheres are round at any angle. Look up how to draw circles in perspective though, which you'll find in any book on perspective.

>>6595235
>Spheres are round at any angle
the sphere is
what's on it isn't

>>6595240
you're right

>>6595300
Cute :3
:) :D

>>6592403
slightly nsfw.

Drawing to pose my guy, but it looks odd. Any advice on how to make a more normal?

how's my basic form/anatomy on this? Not final drawing of course. Planning on drawing sf6 cammy, used a pic ref.

Currently what I am working on atm.

How does anyone stumble through their shitty drawings? I just get so frustrated and give up. I try "just drawing" but I get so mad at myself when something isn't going the way I want to. I want to improve but it's hard to work past my mistakes.

>>6595543
ngmi mindset. No wonder most people fail art.

>>6595546
I want to change, my friend.

>>6595543
I do it so I can prove crabs like >>6595546 wrong.

>>6595543

I crab because I want you to succeed.

Nothing glaring stands out, but it's a pretty rough sketch. Watch the shape of that head.

Absolutely soulless Makima I drew after fucking a prostitute

I drew these bunny girls based on Peko Pekoyama and Hiyoko Saionji a year ago when I started learning anatomy.

Here is a better version of my pic.

>>6595593
well at least it isn’t abhorrent coomershit this time

Hello beg, today i learned something new from the book!!!

>>6595581
you should have drawn the thot, all old masters hired prostitutes regularly to draw them, thats how you GMIed in the past
>>6595543
this is topic which is discussed in all beg books. they all say roughly the same thing: have realistic expectations, be kind to yourself and instead of focusing on how bad you are focus on how to fix the errors. just draw. personally when i draw a really fucked up thing i laught. it is like a joke, but in drawing form
>>6595437
>fuck perspective i will max out SOUL instead
i kneel

>>6595084
i strongly believe the most important fundie is observation and keys to drawing are great for that. after you finish that you can go tackle almost any other book like https://archive.org/details/HowToDrawComicsTheMarvelWay or fun with pencil
>>6595048
kek. you have healthy dose of confidence! anyway you made some very beg errors in that drawing but lets be fair: drawing faces is like 4th chapter of keys to drawing so if you keep on track you will soon learn what you failed there.
>>6594868
its too symmetrical. easy fix would be like tilting her head a very little. anyway i recommend drawing from references for now and not cropping the ponies so you are forced to practice drawing the hard parts like legs
>>6594257
shield too small
>>6595590
thats pretty nice which i didnt expect from thumbnail. thumbs up!

>>6595601
I love you. What’s your art goal?

How’s this for an idle animation?

>>6595612
barely noticeable, use something to indicate the pass of time, shadow projection or leaves falling could be interesting to experiment with

General critique on this so far? It's going to be a desktop background. I'm having a hard time making the clouds look well-defined yet fluffy. It doesn't help that I'm also having trouble imagining the light source coming from underneath. Should I even be doing that?

>>6595601
Imma learn all my know how from you ;p
Seriously, i was doing hands today, holy smokes, i have alot of work ahead of me!

>>6595655
It’s a computer program so backgrounds won’t work. I can try a shadow.

>>6595612
Another animation

>>6595554
>>6595601
Thanks for your advice friend(s). Was able to relax and just draw Rain from Gundam. Still shitty, but at least I drew.

>>6595431
update: struggling with drawing side profile, any help or tips? ref is the pose I'm doing. trying to draw cammy from street fighter looking back.

>>6595612
>>6595655
How’s this?

>>6595701

I have a few drawings of Rain Mikamura myself.

>>6595701
And another.

>>6595720
Looks good. Keep going.

drew some retarded cats, ran out of space for the last goon

>>6595727
more readable, I would move the light source a little more to the back, opentoonz projection tools are quite handy for this, an super old proof of concept. I would honestly chat a little with chatgpt I think you can get even more readable ideas there.

>>6595731
>>6595732
Disgusting. Vile. Impure.

WIP
Trying very hard not to butcher the face this time

>>6592403
dumb fun

>>6595801
>chat a little with chatgpt
No.

Even if you fail, but still realize what you did wrong, you will learn from it. Failure helps you understand what you are lacking and need to work on.
Also, nobody can work perfectly all the time. Most people will produce dud from time to time. You can't fail only if you don't do anything, in your case, don't draw anything.
