>>7067867

>>7067883

nice try

>>7067888
u jealous?

>>7067860
Why aren't you prompting?

>>7067860
Because my paper is too thick.
Also, are you buying or just browsing?

>>7067925
I'm not gay anon, sorry.

>>7067929
Selling any swampweed?

>>7067860
I don't need to.
Also, your stuff is proof that tracing doesn't help you if you have no idea what you are doing in the first place.

>>7067891
yeah real jealous of your terrible lines
you're too stupid to even trace properly

My traced ai shit gets the most hits

if you don't post pyw then your opinion doesn't count

>>7067860
holy chicken scratching, its like the linework is having a stroke

>>7067929
just get a lightbox. works for cardstock.

>>7067860
You're really so inept you couldn't even finish her left arm because you couldn't trace it? Embarrassing.

Does tracing actually improve your drawing skill? Is there a method to make tracing improve your skill?

>>7068078
Are you really that desperate?

>>7068064
Buy my merch and I'll be able to afford one.
(Actually, a lightbox is on my list. It's sometimes painful to get a great sketch from the sketchbook onto the final paper.)

how about you trace some tutorials

remember to draw and not shitting excuses

>>7067972
Of course it'd be someone into vore

>>7067860
i don't really know, i just want to keep drawing.

we're gonna have to draw more senran kagura

>>7067860
>why aren't you tracing?
But I'm tracing 3D models, I pose them on CSP then I draw over them on SAI, I still have to fix the anatomy tho because CSP can't handle high poly 3D models very well for some reason.

>>7068147
>I'm tracing 3D models, I pose them on CSP
I created picrel recently.

>>7067860
I feel like every time I do more than one layer of lineart, it amounts to me tracing. I have a very difficult time building up lineart in successive layers - I understand the notion that you're not tracing and are instead re-drawing, redesigning and refining and drawing around the form - but I haven't had much success doing so. I have since resorted to just using a single layer for lineart and refining as needed. I'm not tracing because it looks like garbage no matter what I do if I ever even get close to tracing.

>>7068138
>Lol I traced, you guys dumdums
Perspective on the toilet is fucked which ruins perception of the entire image. There's also a lot of misunderstood areas that make the traced image wrong.

>>7068138
Imagine being such a perma beg that you can't even trace things correctly

>>7067860
Because I want to create original illustrations, not attempt to remake something that already exists.

>>7068056

>>7067860
Because I realized before my age hit the double digits that tracing art instead of drawing it myself left me feeling unaccomplished.
The fuck do you get from tracing as an adult trying to learn how to draw?

>>7068147
>>7068151
I can finally draw my superhero comics without grinding anatomy forever... All hail tracing!

>>7068086
Put a bunch of your cats on stickers, and post them around the big city.
Or if that's too expensive, do the same with those "Hello my name is" 0.01 cent stickers

>>7068713
Not the worst idea since I already scribble my cattos (but without any socials) on any place I find whenever I leave my artbook cave.

can you trace from multiple sources and make it look integrated?
what's your tracing routine?

>>7067860
Can you post your original drawing without tracing?

>>7067860
Why is your line weight all over the place? Are you unable to make a stroke longer than your penis? You can't even fucking trace correctly, sorry. Improve your linework (line weight, using your arm not wrist, etc.)

>>7068930
how bad

>>7067883
Tracing is for losers. I drew what you drew but less soulless, no reference

>>7068999
give me a crisp pair of JEANS nigga button ups

>>7067860
because tracing teaches you jack shit about understanding shapes, analysing depth and weight of what you see before you start drawing on the paper. tracing is a complete deception to beginners. you merely trace lines and of course the result will be kinda suprising: why? because you are fucking cheating.

what's bad about tracing is that it shows. of you are a /beg/ there is going to be this absolutely abysmal, unholy mix of correct proportions, but obvious mistakes in the line work, bad outlines, ugly structures and a complete lack of flow in the surfaces (say like, how you would give a leg in OP pic the right curveture)

>picrel
i never resort to tracing. these are drawn from photos, but with my clipboard in my lap and the screen in front of me. same goes for nude and portrait drawing. no grid, no tracing.

TL;DR
>git gewd and stop thinking about tracing.

>>7067860
>tracing
i'd better prompt instead, less hassle

Tracing 3D is fine, even industry professionals are using it to save time.

>>7069161
industry professionals tracing 3d models goes a long way to explaining why industry standard art is so generic and uninspired
industry practices are tailored towards maximum financial productivity, they're not intended to be used for appealing or creative artwork

>>7069161
looks like shit

>>7067860
So you basically switched mental stimulation for a repetitive, boring and apathy inducing task?
I work in programming exactly to have variety and mental stimulation in what I do, so in my case you would be switching something you do for entertainment in your free time to apathy and boredom.
It's like a double suicide unless you're getting money from it, then it's just a regular suicide.

>>7069161
what a natural way to hold a gun

>>7069136
I love your posts in each thread, post your beg to awesome route for me

>>7067860
I just traced this

>>7069575
>tracing Simpsons
you are either somewhere around 12 to 16 years old or absolutely ngmi hopeless case

>>7069575
normal can perspective

>>7069586
I want a basic design since I’m really new to digital tracing and don’t really draw but I’ve wanted to do it for ages. I did Pokemon too

>>7069650
It's a good time to learn how to draw then. Recommend dropping tracing (this is a bait thread, no one here actually believes tracing is good) and picking up some art books such as keys to drawing, fun with a pencil, art and science of drawing etc whichever suits you, you can find them in the artbook thread or /beg/'s OP.

>>7067860
I can't even figure out how to trace photographs or 3D models properly. I can never figure out what parts of them I'm supposed to be trying to mark with lines.

>>7069136
Blech, shit figure. Og is better

>>7069672
It's legitimately over for you bro

>>7069652
found the midwit permabeg lmao
reading and "studying" instead of drawing is retarded

>>7070230
Studying in art IS drawing.
Don't post again, you're giving me second hand embarrassment.

>>7070238
>sage
>doesn't post his work
the state of /ic/. do you even draw?

>>7067860
im too lazy to find the right things to trace to draw what i want to draw, or more frequently, too lazy to save a drawing to trace over. the most i do is try and copy from scratch so i can try and get an understanding on my own

>>7067860
Tracing has its fair share and middle ground of use, but is not a sustainable source of learning. If you want to break a confusing arrangement down then thats fine. Even then however, you still must use it sparingly lest you stagnate due to using tracing as a form of quick self-gratification.

To create art, you must create, not trace. Because in the end, anatomy errors and lack of line confidence are still extremely prominent when you never took the time to actually learn them >>7067860, even when tracing from other artists works.
