Just get a beginners book and start following along. what do would you like to draw? how about "Drawing comics the marvel way"?

>>7096234
>Drawing comics the marvel way
Perhaps the biggest /beg/ trap out there, the only worse suggestion would be one of those shitty "how to draw manga" books. Just get Keys to Drawing or The Art and Science of Drawing, hell even Fun With a Pencil, maybe even Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain if you skip like half of the pseudoscientific drivel in it.

>>7096236
What makes it a beg-trap specifically?
David Finch recommends it, I'd trust him over an Anon who likely won't post his work(unless?)

>I trust the guy recommending me topics to study that just so happen to 1:1 mirror the courses he's selling on the same site.

People like you who can't use your brain deserve their money departed from their wallet. Nobody is coming to save you in this field, you need to make your own roadmap.

funny seeing a wsb user here of all places OP

>Guys how do i draw it all looks complicated to me. I have ADHD, autism, BPD, schizophrenia and diabetes. Every time i pick up a pencil it turns into candy cane and my fatty urges force me to eat it.

>>7096335
The trap is you asking this question rather than drawing from the book yourself.

>>7096225
I just don't understand why you would want to draw if you don't actively enjoy doing it?
Drawing for me is the same as playing video games or playing sports
It's a hobby I can get better at

I guarantee you're probably putting hours into some random rpg or online shooter game but other than beating the enemy there isn't really any goal - why would you need a goal other than enjoying yourself?

>>7096359
No answer given, with ample time, it's not a beg trap.

>>7096371

The irony is you had ample time to draw through the book to form your own conclusions yet here you are.

>>7096378
I recommend the book, which I read years ago, I'm pretty sure there is nothing the book that is bad advice or a begtrap like drawabox, or Finch wouldn't rec it also.
if you are of the opinion it is a begtrap, explain why or shut your trap.

>>7096382
heh, shut your trap. i see what you did there

>>7096225
Start by trying to draw straight, horizontal lines freehand. First, make the lines short (about an inch). Connect several of these short lines to make a long line. Draw rows of them and try to have them be parallel to one another, and evenly spaced.

If you are right-handed, draw these lines from left to right, and keep the paper before you somewhat to the right of center so your elbow can move freely without bumping into your ribs. Hold the pencil comfortably, not in a death grip. The movement should come from your shoulder.

Complete this exercise carefully. Check your lines and spacing with a ruler or straight edge. Repeat.

This should not be "grinded," in the sense that it's the only thing you do for 8 hours straight. Fifteen minutes, once or twice a day, will make a difference if you are consistent. Other exercises should follow when you have mastered this one.

>>7096442
And yes, this is probably the most elemental drawing exercise, and that's precisely why a struggling beginner should do it.

What is a square? It is two sets of parallel lines, of equal length, that are perpendicular to one another. If you can't draw a straight line, and judge its length and angle relative to another straight line, you can't draw a square. And the square is really a building block for so much of drawing even when it only serves as a frame of reference.

emotional vampire /pre-beg/

>>7096442
i neglected this type of motor skill exercise in my warmups for a couple of months and my line quality has noticeably dipped. shit sucks, but at least it's just 15 minutes a day.

>>7096486
Bro unironically just trace drawings you like it's literally a gorillion times more efficient and fun than spending 90 hours a year doing lines and ellipses
Plus you actually learn something while doing it

>>7096496
Tracing is the opposite of fun, nothing is learned by it and the results look amateurish and crude.

>>7096507
Speak for yourself

>>7096507
worst opinion of the week award

>>7096507
Why on earth would you even begin to care about how your fucking warm-ups or line control exercises look as a beginner

>>7096225
Take your medication for once you drooling faggot.

>>7096528
This

But I recommend taking an excessive amount

>>7096530

yes and combine it with copious amounts of alcohol

>>7096225
Then you really dont want too learn retard. If you want to learn something, you learn it. Forcing it cause your a social retard hoping for a solitary career aint the reason.

Every pro loved doing it. Youre just another faggot that cant tell the difference between a dream and reality. Like wanting to be a rockstar but understanding it wont happen cause youre not willing to put in the work.

Move on to something you do like. Or keep forcing yourself to draw and be miserable cause I can garunteed you wont be the artist you think you will

>>7096442
unnecessary and pretentious

>>7096442
I went ahead and drew a few pages of lines. What should I work on after that? Is that “How to Draw Comics The Marvel Way” good or bad?

>>7097434
Work on not being a retard.

>>7097442
I dont think I will

>>7097434
Continue with these exercises. Slow down and try not to have the ends of the lines curl. I advised to make the lines short because it is difficult at first to make a long line and keep it straight. Begin each short line right where the previous one ends, and try to have it appear as one continuous line with no gaps between the segments.

When you become proficient with this, you should try doing something similar with vertical lines. Vertical lines are more difficult than horizontal. I suggested to move the paper somewhat right of center (assuming you are right-handed) for horizontals. For verticals, it is better to have the paper a bit left of center, positioning your elbow out before you, and (again, using your shoulder for the motion) make the lines going from top to bottom in short segments.

"How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" is good. It is recommended by professionals like David Finch and Frank Cho because they both learned a lot from it. It is not going to give you these kinds of really fundamental exercises but it is still beginner-oriented and has a lot of useful information.

>>7097742
I see. Thank you anon. I will keep doing these exercises as warm ups.
Is there a specific way I should be holding my pencil? I am left handed if that matters.

schedules don't work for me. The moment my brain thinks it HAS to do something, it goes into sleep mode.

>>7096226
This.
>>7096231
If you can't afford a single drawing course, then you should be more worried about getting a job than about drawing, Anon.

I literally have no time to draw

I can afford many drawing courses. Which course should I buy and why?

>>7098783
>i fell for the snake oil sellers
have fun wasting money, my dude(tte)

>>7096225
learn how to enjoy the process of making or performing mundane things
it's a requirement for every hobby in existence

>>7098783
pyw instead of a pepe, if you want a serious answer.

>>7098863
>it's a requirement for every hobby in existence
Wrong. Some hobbies are fun on their own.

>>7098647
Hold it however is comfortable for you. Remember, the motion should come from your shoulder. Since you are left-handed, reverse my directions horizontally (i.e. you should draw from right to left).

>>7098783
>>7100341
And say what your art goals are. There's no point in learning color theory if all you want to draw are grayscale manga moe-blobs or with learning digital techniques if you want to be a traditional painter.

>>7096225
I understand you, I really need to conquer my mental illness

Never drawn anything really, so I don’t have any work to post.
I want to make all sorts of things. I really like classic fantasy art. For now though, I’d just like to get the basics down of drawing scenes and people.

oh no...
