Only Pawell.

There's hundred's of better and more "fun" resources on construction but i'm still doing it anyway because i already started and figure it doesn't hurt as long as i'm still drawing something and putting in hours, If you're also planning to do it i would suggest you skip some of the indecipherable and ugly drawings.

>>7054266
He apparently hated the book.

>>7054266
>>7054452
Did it work? Did it make him a good artist?

>>7054262
I have mastered the blook

>>7054449
>There's hundred's of better and more "fun" resources on construction
Which ones do you recommend anon?

>>7054262
You don't "complete" artbooks, you refer to them.

>>7054266
>>7054452
Dude's a literal schizo, stop name-dropping him like his opinions mean anything. For one, it's literally impossible to do some of this stuff once and be conscious of how much or how little it helps you.

>>7054449
What would you consider better and more "fun" than this? Let me take a wild guess, some anime coomer shit, right? Listen, I love huge anime tits as much as-or possibly more-than anybody, but these fucked up boomer faces are a much more versatile and valuable learning tool than any of that stuff is and it should be immediately obvious why.

There isn't shit, he's just being a typical contrarian. However, in actually putting in the work he still deserves some respect as far as that goes.

>>7054262
me. I literally copied the entire FWAP and Ernest Norling's Perspective book during covid lockdown.
It's only the beginning, tip of the iceberg. It helps with drawing believable 3D forms and cartoons. The next step is to proceed with a good figure drawing book like Figure Drawing for All It's Worth and then something more advanced like Bridgman (if you want to draw realistic figures). Best to study in tandem with drawing for fun, or even better, a project.

>>7054556
another study from FWAP

>>7054559
Nice
post your current work

>>7054266
pawell gave it a 1/10 on his website iirc. It currently holds the lowest score of any art instruction book he's ever read.

>>7054563
He reads the books?

>>7054575
he copies mindlessly.

>>7054560
I posted this KJG tribute a few months ago.

currently working on a comic about /ic/ and a tribute to Robert Crumb.
longterm project I'm about to work on is a weird sword & sorcery comix, which is why I'm breaking out the Bridgman next.

>>7054596
>>7054589
Not my style but it's not bad. Good job! Way better than a certain Polish permabeg schizo.

>>7054262
you are supposed to hoard them on your HDD and recommend them for other newfags not actually read it

>>7054598

>>7054508
Pretty much what >>7054531 said any of the weebslop ones from the artbook thread, recently downloaded "Sketching manga style" vol 1-6 and they look pretty fun.

>>7054596
Extremly based R.Crumb enjoyer. I look forward to reading the finished work

you are not supposed to copy the book but to learn from it and apply to the work you want to do

>>7054816
I haven't slept in 2 days because I was practicing faces using the method this guy uses

>>7054262
I look through it time to time because I want to have fun with a pencil.

>>7054461
It was painful to watch, you could see him regress with each page of copies he posted. It's less to do with the material and more to do with his mindset where he doesn't engage with the ideas presented in a book and just blitzkriegs through the entire thing without playing around with the concepts or analyzing what he's learned or how week he's learned it. He should go back to that gook perspective book. He seemed to at least put some effort into copying the drawings so he must have enjoyed it.

this book literally doesnt work. Living proof is pawell he went through all the pages and copied at least 3x per figure and it actually looks like he got WORSE after finishing the book

>>7054852
>Pawell
Discarded

>>7054854
>le copy brigturd, loomshit and vilpoo twice!
>NO DONT COPY LIKE THAT

stfu crab

>>7054857
I'm sorry for you

>>7054858
I accept your concession

>>7054860
I accept your work

>>7054262
Not me. The first lesson completely filters me. Every year I go back to it, trying to see if the practice from the previous year will enable me to finally clear the hurdle.

>>7055036
>Every year I go back to it
How many years?
Just skip that page already...

>>7055039
3. Would it really be a good idea to proceed to the more advanced lessons when I get stuck on the first one?

>>7055048
They are not very advanced. The next lessons are just stick figures with extra steps.

>>7055064
Ok, I'll try. Thank you.

Who is this pawell faggot you keep talking about?

>>7058078
pawell2418
just seems to do pages and pages of quick studies from art instruction books, and barely any actual drawing applying anything he studies, so not much sinks in.

>>7058086
He would be better off just drawing whatever he likes instead of grinding book after book, actual mileage is acquired from original pieces. At least he is somewhat consistent with the grind, but that alone won't suffice.

>>7054852
Pawell could be mentored by Kim Jung Gi, Zdislaw Beksinksi, Ilya Repin and Normal rockwell themselves and he still won't be able to find morsel of skill in his shit brain.

He is unteachable destined for breaking rocks

>>7054262
Loomisfags hate this!

I’ve been waiting until I’m good enough for it.

>>7060679
Nice one anon, now post your work to btfo the loomisfags
