skim through the text so you can understand the exercises but the most important thing is to do them.
The point is that it'll teach you to use your eyes more objectively so you can measure and criticize your own drawings.

No one can be that supid. He's clearly trolling and shitting up threads.

>>6674045
You would be shocked. Im pretty retarded. I've made some people stop advertising that they can "teach anyone" because im that stupid.

By default, will it be good to teach human proportion?

Anyways,thanks for actually replying me. The first experience on this board is being pretty shitty

>>6674052
>By default, will it be good to teach human proportion?
No it's all about priming your observational skills. Basically "how to look at things so you can draw them" the book.
It's a skill you'll need if you want to study proportions or anything really.

>>6674016
Yes, and presumably someone over 18 knows where the vagina and asshole are located.

how the fuck do i blend with round brush? why when i do it gets so ugly it's been months and i still dont get it. i can do it just fine with soft brush but with this shit is impossible to me.

you can still learn. Thats what drawing on boards is about next to making the person happy, right?

Drew Falling Devil.

Really went off the rails with the turn of her waist, not sure what came over me there.

>tfw you're reference cuck
I can't draw without reference, but I want to change that following these 3 points.

>1. learn anatomy to know muscles, bones and their shape
>2. learn perspective to foreshorten them properly
>3. draw from imagination and after finishing compare to reference to identify mistakes

Is this gonna work or am I missing some crucial step to learn this more effectively?

>>6674206
draw from reference, repeat from memory

>>6674079
The asshole IS, in fact, very close to the vag. Mistake was drawing the vag up in the stomach, which pulled the asshole up to roughly where the vaginal opening should have been.

These took me 40 minutes, had to slow down the video where the guy drew it to 0.25 holy fuck how can he be so fast and draw these out of imagination? Can I ever attain this level?

how am i supposed to shade like this digitally?
use a airbrush??

>>6674206
you're retarded anon
literally every pro artist uses reference

>>6674244
I don't want to stop using reference forever. I just want to be able to draw a decent looking sketch without relying on it.

>>6674025
Dunno which Pluto you mean, I'm just copying Sleep Token album art to force myself to draw each day

>>6674206

How's my frog scetch?
Am I still a beginner?

>>6674103
maybe put a couple of holes in her to sell the smoke concept a bit more

>>6674206
I can’t draw super well without reference but extremely basic poses should just be coming natural to you after awhile.

When you draw from reference are you just copying the image directly or are you creating original poses from more of a collage of references? If you’re doing the latter, the “drawing without a reference” should be easier.

>>6674261
it's better than i can do anon
good work

Study of rei,

Yesterday, first from memory without referencing anything then heavily referenced, then once again today from memory with no reference. I forgot the things on her head : <

>>6674280

Wrong file

How would one draw this kind of hairstyle when the head is tilted 90 degrees and touching the ground? this is kinda fucking with my head. Not only the hair has to hang to the side but also collide with the ground

>>6674206
you know that teachers sometimes allow their students to cheat because they will learn a lot while making the cheat sheet?

>>6674243
experiment, find artists that already figured it out, copy their work, copy each stroke, fin theri youtube.

>>6674243
master it traditionally first, then you can use whatever digital tools you want

No. I am not a coomer, just a clout chaser

how do I into good faces

>>6674459
Do not fall into "just draw faces from photos" bullshit. I wasted so much time on this. You only learn how to copy and end up all your portraits being unproportional and looking pre-beg

Best way to learn good faces are actually drawing from live. But since you are on 4chan and no one here leaves house, I suggest to you to draw everyday quick face constructions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zSMzKxMhgw&list=PLQOGKNmiKFwW25gjN-GgS9NjDMJLPQ7EG&ab_channel=S.MichaelHampton
Here is Hampton doing face costruction. Just do quick constructions every day until you learn it so well that you can easily see construction under any face

>>6674459
Faces are hard, but what you need to do is just copy faces from characters you love. You need to pay close attention to every single line, pay attention how it is curved, where it connects, ask yourself why it is longer or curvier than the other lines. Also watch some pro draw characters you like, slow down the video and see how they draw the lines and copy the exact way they do it. With time you will have this engraved in your mind and faces will become really easy.

>>6674479
>Unlisted

but thanks anon, didnt knew daddy hampton had a video about head

>>6674488
Yeah he has actually several unlisted videos. Just check his playlists on youtube channel where he added them

>>6674459
she is crying long time bc u no read sticky

pre-beg here..I placed a vanishing point and did lines for that big doorway, why is that corner fucked up? My retarded beg brain can't figure it out

>>6674511
You did something weird with the side plane of the close side.

>>6674495

>>6674449

Dude dont apologize, fuck the haters its a decent pic.

Finally finished the first rock ref from two threads ago. I'm gonna follow FZD steps to the letter for the next one see if I can get it better

>>6674091

>>6674218
Well that's his job and has drawn for like minimum of 5 years and he draws in live everyday twice or more

wip
i wish i could rendermaxx like other begs

>>6674592
dropped pic

>>6674218
The slow part of drawing is figuring out what line to put down. Actually drawing the line takes no time at all.

You build up the first thing as a skill with practice, lots and lots of it.

thx again to the anons who helped, i think it almost looks normal now.

Are you guys taking the piss or do you really think it has value? It's kinda hard to tell on the Internet and I was personally a bit disappointed with how it turned out

>>6674206
I tried what you're doing. It's not worth it. I'm improving faster from reference. Seriously. I literally thought exactly the same as you. It's a waste of time.

>>6674187
Fugimoto's art really isn't something you want to use as a reference, he's not very good at drawing.

>>6674682
Obviously things could always be better, but I think it looks nic. Your values read well enough, the thumbnail is good, I can tell what’s going on and you made an honest attempt at sizing things accurately to the ref. I think it’s worth congratulating too that you actually completed a study, especially of something most begs won’t touch (a landscape). You also said you’ll continue to strive for better, which is, imo, GMI. Be kind to yourself anon

>>6674248
sketches are supposed to just get an idea across they're not supposed to be pretty despite what those youtube cunts tell you

>>6674694
Thank you very much anon that's very kind honestly I wasn't expecting so much wholesomeness. I'll strive to make you proud

>>6674244

>>6674802
spend 17 years obsessively drawing from reference and you're allowed to take shortcuts

This took me along time, still WIP obviously

I really gotta learn drapery properly.

>>6673988
looks like shit those flat colors and misaligned shadows

I painted a blue woman with very bad anatomy. Just messing around with brushes. Even though she's all lopsided and weird neck, odd proportions, I'm still pretty happy with the result, as strange that may be. First time in a long time I tried to draw a face so just happy I gave it a shot. This was all from imagination. Just messing around with leftover paint on the palette and some crap paper I want to use up.

Anatomy hard

The opposite corner is also fucked up. The solution to your problem is this: the rules that apply to the bottom of the doorway also apply to the top of the doorway.

>>6674523
So, I was curious, hunted the ref and did my own version. Mainly because I noticied light rays and I never tried to draw them before.

Starting to add flats and I swear to god color is the bane of my life. Any thoughts on a color scheme? The one I’m trying right now isn’t working very well.

Barring that, any good resources for novice colorists?

>>6675107
I just give up and color it like watercolor, the line art is more fun to me than colors.

>>6675107
I use old photos for color references. I kind of learned whatever color you use as the white of the eyes kind of determine the palette

Pushed the shadow a little bit, but it's still muddy. I really need to grind value.

More hand practices.

>>6675239
I think these are starting to look less sausagey, good job

This is probably really basic, but I just want to start getting into art through something like Bob Ross's The Joy of Painting, but even that seems overwhelming with the amount of easels, canvas options, paint colors, brush styles, etc. There doesn't seem to be any one-stop-shop option to getting into painting.

I know once I get started that I'll learn quickly, but is there any advice on picking your first sets of equipment and everything? What's a good online store since I don't trust Amazon?

Sketch for tonight.

More like he is good at drawing but he doesn't give a fuck if he needs to break something for effect or just because he is lazy today and doesn't consider a certain frame as important.

>>6675590
I know...

How the fuck do I draw side view

So gesture is capturing moment using convex shapes in place of the subject's axis and then building up your drawing around those convex shapes? Is that right?

I'm interested in using thick linework because I think it could work with action scenes/I'm kind of a weeb. How to do it so it would look nice?
I generally have an issue with linework being too sterile, what do?

>>6675644
go watch steven huston head drawing course

>>6675644
Well, there is something I heard recently, that the centerline of the head in three quarters is the edge of the head in profile.

To the North Korean poster learner guy, i found a Russian version of what you're looking for. The book is called "Pиcyнoк" by Aкceнoв К.H. , its on libgen.

https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=70EB827FB4060B7894CF1217275252AE

Its a Soviet poster textbook. I guarantee you, the North Koreans just copied their own learning materials from something like this.

>>6675486
Big improvement, love the shadows on the neck and chest.

My art is such a soulless trash. No composition, cannot draw background, anatomy is fuck-all.

It just bad. I don't care if I ever will be able to do commissions but I want to be happy with my own creation.

>>6675852
The drawing wasn't composed properly and you went ahead and started rendering it? Composition is the first step
The anatomy didn't look good and yet you rendered it?
Look I know it's frustrating but you gotta take it piece by piece instead of rushing forward. It will take forever but that's how long it takes to learn.

>>6675846

You just need to learn the basics, your light/contrast game is pretty alright.

>>6675939
If you can't draw from imagination you're ngmi

warm up sketch, trying new styles

>>6675944
Patently untrue.

Honest question what do you niggers think when people say draw from reference? Do you think copy the exact pose and body language, or just take general ideas from it? I think autists here believe when you talk using reference, that you mean that you should copy 1:1

>>6675985
You study the reference to figure out the proper proportions of things and incorporate it into the drawing.

>>6674479
I'm always drawing faces from photos

>>6675985
That's because a lot of posters here are beginners and they're doing exactly that.

>>6675985
you typed a slur so im not answering your question die mad about it

>>6676003
I'm black

>>6676005
I wish all people would say nigger so nigger wouldn't be a special word anymore

>>6676008
if it wasn't a special word then you wouldn't be saying it in the first place. words that aren't special and could be applied to anyone exist, you already choose not to use them

>>6675486
Incredibly helpful, thank you

>>6676005
my condolences

>>6676010
that's just an appeal to probability. you're looking to conflate and extrapolate the notion of what's special on a wider group level with what's special on an individual level.

I can't make a completed pic for my life, what's my problem?

>>6676057
Good lines at least.

>>6676058
I mean I can't make a sketch even

>>6675852
Dude that pic is freaking HOT. The theme is HOT. Her tits are HOT. The hand playing with her tits is HOT. The hand on her face muttering her whimper is HOT, her face expression is HOT. Her body is HOT.

There's only details here and there, her arms and legs mainly. And That's it. You have this man. Keep at it. Do another.

>>6675968
Hot
>>6676061
Goofy

>>6676061
lmao

>>6676061
Kino.

coomers will never make it

>>6676060
You need a purpose, a motivation. You have to like something to try to reproduce it artistically, to make it yours somehow. Whit out that mental drive is pretty hard to do this.
some people like cars, guns, military vehicles, most of us just want to draw hot women, and that takes us to the long run and we learn, driven by that passion. Try to find that, and just draw, you will get good at it, at some point, it's unavoidable.

>>6676074
All coomers make it. Most of them in the mainstrean sfw industry.

>>6676074
at this point i'm convinced you need to draw stupid fucking boring anime girls in order to make it

>>6676005
doesn't matter and you aren't anyway

>>6676061
Haha thanks. I guess it's time to start practicing composition and anatomy. Since I've been doing nothing but practice construction, face and gestures for months now

>tfw the better you get the more people will accuse you of being an AI cuck

It's over.

>>6676249
all you have to do is make your art style not look like the shit churned out by korean and chinese concept artists

>>6676249
Never render anything.

>>6676061
dude, you really need to revise your anatomy before you start redlining other people's work. lumpy hands, lumpy deltoids, wrong insertion point for glutes.

>>6676301
You can red-line me no prob =) Make it hotter please.
He said the pic wasn't hot. It is hot. I made it hot to me. I could have gone further, but sometimes one has to hit the brakes. I'm at peace.

>>6674103

>>6673988
The placement of the asshole and vagina is way too high for this angle.

Any tricks for converting side profiles to a front view? Pic slightly related. I've tried drawing lines to indicate at least the vertical spacing of the features, but I still can't get it to work.

>>6676327
I suppose the hotness is subjective, so fair enough. Having seen a couple of your redlines, I still think you could still benefit from anatomy studies. I would, as well. Keep doing what you love and keep drawing!

How can I learn to construct instead of outline trace?

>>6676413
Thanks for the redline man. That's a beautiful torso/figure, and IT'S HOT. I was going with the monster tits and plump ass cheeks though. Those kinda warp everything around them, those mogumbos should cover her navel but I always want to show navels... so I cheat lol.
Yeah my redlines always follow the original proportions as much as possible, because I think there's something HOT at the core of the image, I just try to make it look good as was intended by the artist. Otherwise, you have to redraw her whole head, shorten her neck, then the arm covering her mouth will cover the tit grabbing action, wich is not negotiable lmao. To me coom must be flexible, it should bend to the idea, and not the other way around.
I almost don't even try to be anatomically accurate anymore after drawing so much clothed characters, that torso you did is fucking great, accurate and beautiful. Congrats.

>>6676442
That's exactly what I tried, but I can't get it looking anything like the side profile. Btw the forehead is really short on purpose, I'm fucking around with unusual head shapes. Probably overdid it a little though.

>>6676457
Is that drawing yours? that's great. To me, Construction methods will never match raw grinding, sometimes you have to jump and swim. At some point you will build your own shapes. In pic related I scribble some horse stuff, with out reference, I kinda wing it, because my head created some VERY BASIC primordial shapes through out the years. I didn't studied that, my head build that and put it in a shelve close for grabbing.
You can study methods but it will be hard to stay motivated and focused. Sometimes we learn the most when we have fun the most.
Just keep drawing man. Feed your brain with images, copy, copy and copy, and you brain will build those basic shapes, resources and tools for you.

>>6676569
Awesome thanks, yeah I drew it. Aiming for half an hour a day / 1 horse. Maybe it will be something that comes eventually

>>6676575
>Maybe it will be something that comes eventually
Exactly, keep at it and it will happen. Just stay motivated, draw horses from animation movies too. Animation people are masters at symbol creation for characters, there are some great resources for figure construction/stylization in classic animated movies from Disney, (when it was based).

>>6676590
Awesome thanks dude, will keep at it! I think that was probably my 14th horse doodle I think

>>6676590
Not trying to be killjoy, but Disney artists definitely used construction, just see how Aaron Blaise draws. imo, a combination of construction and good symbols will be a better way to study horses.

>>6676596
Oh yes, if they are doing a million dollar budget production, they better be certain on what they will be putting on paper. That's why I put them as a great reference resource, there's solid construction on those animated designs. What I'm saying is that they already did all the heavy lifting. Those final designs are artistic wonders.
If a beginner is put to do the construction method those guys do (or did r.i.p.), a joyful beginner student will be crushed. I think that's the problem in much cases, all these technical methods filters too much good willing motivated people.
As you said, there must and should be a middle ground between methodical construction and symbol creation systems.

>>6676592
>that was probably my 14th horse doodle I think
NICE, dude that's great. Keep at it

Drew the second rock from 2 threads ago

>>6676650
Pretty cool anon, what's this about?

>>6676061
well fuck i got mogged to hell and back before i even finished my redraw, gonna post mine anyway
>>6675852
Look i don't know about background or anatomy, I'm beg too. I just think you failed during the planning/conceptual stage.
I mean, why did you leave all that empty space, what is it for?
Why is she rushing forward? If she's fighting back then she should be using her hands, if she's not fighting back she should be arched back while still supporting herself. The hand over her mouth should be pushing her, straightening her out.
Why is the hand cupping her breast so coyly? I mean it's rape so why is it being sucha a pussy?
Why is she stark naked in some building? No sign of struggle, were they taken off? Also kinda weird for you to strip a schoolgirl completely naked when the outfit is the appeal (yeah I recognized it's asa, pedo). I mean we all know you just chickened out of drawing clothes
Also she has a lazy eye, either have her look somewhere or give her a 1000-yard stare.
If you have issues with anatomy you can always reference everything that doesn't look right

Is it good?

>>6676672

The chair looks a bit off - the perspective doesn't really work imo. We're seeing it too much from above, I feel. But I am worse than you, so I might be wrong.

>>6676728
>>6676735
Anyway, when drawing the face plane, how should I deal with foreshortening? Do I just eyeball it? For instance, when drawing a face looking up, I'm not sure how long the face plane should be.

>>6676748
I actually recorded a whole timelapse of myself drawing this, the videos add up 7 hours and 30 minutes in total. But I spent a lot of time redrawing and trying some stuff.
>>6676751
I know it's likely I fucked up the perspective of the chair+umbrella lol, thanks for the comment anyways. I don't know why but I always fuck up the perspective of the last thing I draw.

>>6676760
That's perspective basics, if you think of the face plane like the front plane of a box and you rotate it to your desired position, you will get your foreshortening correct.

Hello beg, new day new book: still about perspective. This one looks way more technical than the old ones recommended by sticky.

>>6674665
i mean black pencil as in using way darker values to imply form / shading. Because as of now your drawings are a bit muddy and that is no good for leveling up anatomy / feeling the form. you want to be like: okay this part of leg is in dark and this one isnt
>>6676744
very cool and the half tones... i kneel
>>6676683
interesting blend of anime with west. keep going
>>6676650
promising coom material
>>6676457
read any book about figure drawing? loomis, hampton, morpho, tomfoxdraw and hundreds of other?
>>6676074
coomers have the strongest motivation in the world though: their dick commands them to draw hot naked gorgeous women

both options are valid. if you are beg beg even 1:1 copy will be omega hard. if you are a bit advanced you can go for the minor changes
>>6675910
draw with stick in the sand or mud and then take photo of it before rain, easy
>>6675852
i would say all perspective books are lowkey about how to draw backgrounds. try picking one up
>>6675397
face is completely flat (hint: nose, eye sockets and chin then to make shades) and the pic is generally missing some highlights or brighter area to catch eye. otherwise it is pretty good
>>6675246
one of my beg books talked about painting: the beginner just needs shitton of cheap BIG paper, 1 good quality brush (the flat type which doesnt bend easily), tube or white, tube of black and bottle of turpentine or similar like acetone (for cleaning the brush) any knife, and something to use as palette. Also i saw some dude recommending begs to paint on panel made from glass so save even the paper. And once you get competent with these you slowly add more brushes and colors as you level up
>>6675206
looks cool

coom, but artistic edition

A quick demo that I made.

>>6676806
pawell only ignored mine ffs

>>6676806
Oof, still on perspective mate? Just a tip, you need to improve your lines, those aren't straight.
Also, fun fact: Mestre in portuguese means Master. So you are studying with Marcos Mateu, the master.

>>6676816
>Oof, still on perspective mate? Just a tip, you need to improve your lines, those aren't straight.

if pawell's lines aren't straight enough to learn perspective then there's no hope for the likes of me

>>6674522
I really love how this board is such an intense dichotomy of hugboxy, "uwu, your perfect the way you are, don't listen to the haters!" and "you should be ashamed that you decided to post this online, eat a gun and livestream it." If you value your sanity and your progress, you should leave this board as fast as you can.

>>6676820
kek, I mean, you can learn perspective without it, it's just that buildings without straight lines look weird, like they came straight out of Rick and Morty.

>>6675852
copy your favorite coomer artist and get an anatomy book(stonehouse or anatomy for sculptors)
don't worry about background and rendering for now

>>6676840
I KNEEL

Bleh

>>6676840
well bro when are you gonna grind your anatomy

>>6676840
Hi Bweh, when are you going to make finished art? I'm waiting....

>>6676840

Alright bros,can a /beg/ do gestures?
And who is the best one to pick up, Vilppu, Proko, Bridgeman or Hampton?

I'm about to start my college internship and i figured i should get back into drawing if i don't want to become insane, here's this tech wizard character, the hands are feet are trash of course but anything else that should be fixed?

>>6677025

>>6673988
Ive tried to practice drawing before on paper, and have done so to make some album covers for songs ive made. Then I dipped more into graphic design using paint.net, before biting the bullet on a tablet as I really wanted to learn drawing but digitally as it would be really practical. What am I in for?

>>6674243
hatching with a textured brush pencil tool, brush size at around half of what you used for the lines

>>6677057
Be prepared to spend weeks, if not months getting used to drawing on the tablet. Though I'd recommend starting right away, as you decide about the tablet.

>>6677080
>big ass tail
>zombie skin lighting
>strapped top
>tumblr tier freckling
>those scales
>those tits
im not a big fan of your colors in general but i assume youll add some fish and coral and background elements to bring it together more. since i insulted so many things i will say that i like the pose but the tail feels a little stiff for the movement. the transparent fins are nice and the hairstyle and face are cute. hand is awful. mouth could be better.

>>6677088
Well I guess that persistence will be key. Thanks

Reminder that if you don't draw from movies you are ngmi

>>6677107
It truly will. Happy drawing!

BIG STICK

>>6676012
it is not helpful, I;m only describing the problem and provide crude solution but it will not help you to solve it

>>6677080
So this isn't a bad picture, the way you've drawn the motion and the body is quite nice, if just a little stiff. I've made a quick edit of your picture to point out the main issues, and I'll just explain them one by one.
So by far the biggest issue you have is that it doesn't look like it's underwater. If you look at any picture of humans underwater, you'll realise that it's primarily in shadows with bits of highlighting. That's because only a little bit of light reaches below the surface. What I've done is simply apply a multiply layer with a dark blue, and very roughly add highlighting on another layer on top. Also, unless you're very close to the surface/blonder, hair should be mostly dark with very little light whatsoever. Basically, REFERENCE!
After that I just made a few minor edits, I added some random fishes in the background to make it less empty, and then I filled the foreground with more seaweed and rocks. Corals would work as well to add variety, but I'm not sure what type of ocean this is supposed to be and avoided making assumptions.
Finally, I've edited the tail. You don't have to do it like I did, it's just an example, but the lines you've used as well the black makes the tail looks almost scraggly, like a stonefish. The tail should generally look smooth and scaly instead. I did it in a very lazy way, so go study fishes yourself. Finally, bent of the tail seems slightly weird, so I corrected that. I think the tail should be a little thinner to look more hydrodynamic, but I'll leave that up to you.

bruh mark making with pencil and paper so much easier and comfier than with your (((tablets)))

this was incredibly hard for me

>>6677026
its true T_T ill literally never get to coloring because I can't spend more than thirty minutes on a piece

raccoon vibes

Wip marked in red is parts i hate. C/C

>>6676340
There's Ai now. Y u still mad about tracing.

>>6677080
>No form.
>No gestures.
>No structure.
No understanding. You have to try harder.

More hand practice.

>>6676675
NTA

I love your concept but your anatomy is atrocious. Wtf is happening with her hands? It turned into stub. Also it feels like you do not understand construction

>>6677284
A stub? I have honestly no idea what you're talking about, can you redline it for me?

>>6677292
I'm currently not home but here is a pic of what I mean. See how you can see the volume in his construction? It feels like you just copied the lines of arm

>>6677303
Uh not really
I might have made the origin of the forearm muscle too low but i don't see what you're saying

I'm trying to do gesture drawing but I keep overthinking everything. It takes me 5 minutes to draw what other people do in 1 or 2 minutes. Can pic related save me?

Or should I just keep grinding gesture until I'm too tired to overthink?

>>6677309
Well it's up to you. As long as you happy with your art it all that matters

>>6677313
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSzB3ESpfE0&t=2162s&ab_channel=S.MichaelHampton

Hampton literally saved my gesturlet ass. Just watch this lecture and then copy some of his other gesture vids

>>6675913
It takes 500+ hours to be able to draw higurashi, and that looks better than higurashi.

>>6674218
It would take me an hour to draw each of those

>>6677315
I'll go through this, already went through proko and some other resources but hopefully this does it for me. Thanks

>>6677314
im not happy with the drawing but i dont understand what youre saying

>>6677325
Proko is absolute trash when it comes to explaining gestures. The best at explaining it are FORCE guy (forgot his name just google how to draw FORCE gesture) and Hampton

>>6673988
havent really been drawing for weeks because ive kind of hit a rut and im not improving much anymore. Drew this earlier, thoughts? mostly care about the line ive not been trying much with the shading as i see that as secondary to good line art.

Not sure if i just really suck at faces or if i suck at everything and its just the most noticable bit

>>6677362
biggest issue is lack of form

critiques?

>>6677378
Why's it blurry?

That's not a critique I just want to know.

anatomy is so fucking easy. too bad you begs cant get the hang of it like me

>>6677387
I mightve used the liquify tool too much. thats prob why

I wanted to make this post to thank the anon who linked the krenz video. I think you helped me start to put together a lot of the ideas I've been learning independently.

>>6677212
t2

useless

I'm not good at circles.

>>6675385
Been using heavypaint a lot

>>6677418
I like it. I'm the anon who made original art work. How long you've been drawing?

I knew this would look terrible hours ago but still did it

>>6677422
Damn it's bugle girl!

>>6676651
very nice job

posting my wo

proportions ok?

>>6677607
the form has not been felt

>>6677607
>sad face
made me giggle

>>6675944
>just learn anatomy by imagining

>stop drawing for a month after burning myself out doing nothing but fundies for 3 months
>can draw from imagination now
take the nodraw pill

>>6677645
pyw anon let us see

>>6677645
if you didnt do the fundies you wouldnt be able to

What do you think the mimic is wearing as a dress
Is that moneybag? A purse? Or just a meaty bulb?

>>6677607
Seriously though, anon, learn from some references.

>>6677607
she mostly missing a pelvis. move crouch lower where hands are, the rest is fine

anything wrong?

>>6677688
check the negative spaces

>>6677694
whats that?

>>6677688
As you can see, you are very far off
Also stop chicken scratching

>>6677695
Negative space is the area the subject does not obscure. There is a silhouette of samus and, inversely, the negative space. Anon suggests that you compare those silhouettes and review a variety of discrepancies .

Current wip, I still think something about the boobs is off for this angle.

>>6677667
That's the mimic's true form.

>>6677645
Taking a break helps. Changing mediums is a good way to prevent burnout. You can take a break from drawing and still increase your skills.

Somebody bake!
I'm not posting my work on a dead thread.

>>6677723
I'll post my work to you anon
Bake it yourself you lazy bum

>decide to make a proper lineart for the sketch I made a while ago for practice purpose
>do it with thick pencil brush
>"hey, it actually looks ni-"
>hide the sketch layer
>...
>either have to increase the "scope" of the drawing by adding more details or make random lines to fill the void, utterly defeating the point of lineart
Is that shit a beg trap or something?

>>6677729
I'm banned from baking because I fucked janny's mom.

Inability to pick subject matter probably reduces my drawing output by as much as half

>>6677730
Keep practicing, anon. I had the same experience as you, but the more I practiced the better the lineart became

>>6677639
you are in possession of one human body as well as mirrors and cameras. you can figure it out.

>>6677780
>he's not sketching from the Shimmer
lmao

>>6677713
it looks fugly to me.

>>6677785
>>6677713
forgot

>>6677774
I can handle learning anatomy, perspective and other stuff, but drawing perfect lines seems impossible even with stabilization.
I'm legit considering just making cleaning up sketches and immediately hatching stuff in.

You just gotta start on something even if you're uninspired. Once you get going you'll get into it. Probably.

>>6677791
Maybe you are drawing them too slowly or too fast? I find that people have a certain speed where they are able to draw perfect lines.
Also, have you found if you prefer to pull them towards or away from you? If you prefer diagonal or vertical or horizontal?

>>6676697
Linework is done

>>6677403
Can you link the video to me as well?
