There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:

TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

I bought some fluorescent paint and a few brushes to try making some blacklight art. I've never painted before, and I'm bad at drawing too, so I just wanted to stick to simple designs for fun. There's nothing in the sticky about painting though. I don't even know how to do brush strokes properly. Are there any YouTube channels or a book for beginning painting?

i like it. like the others have said i think you could have spent a bit more time on the drawing, mainly the eyes. also i think it might help to darken up the shadow side a bit and add in some more saturated colors, like in her hair. things look kind of muddy right now.

i'm a beg too though, so maybe not an accurate critique

Guy who drew the meme face used in the last /beg/ op image, multiple anons told me I should study the planes of the face, so I looked around and decided to try the Reilly Method.

As a first try I wanna know how did it go and should I fix anything before I grind through 1000 of these?

Or even should I look for another way to go about facial and head planes?

As always crit appreciated and sorry for image quality.

>>3054070
yeah the point of it is to use as a guide, like hopefully I'll get good enough with it and understand it well enough that I don't actually physically have to draw the lines to know the planes of the face underneath. And surprisingly it isn't that complicated to begin with. I followed the steps of

this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RmHOvmPJjE

and for the side plane he has it go from the corner of the eye curving outwards towards the hairline, but I think I have room to move it up like you said. Also it work's as a general guide for most faces as he shows in some of his videos where he goes over a ref. picture

he mentions that "you don't want to impose the method onto the figure, but find where the method is similar to the figure."

either way thanks for the feedback.

Posting for an initial opinion. I've been drawing for about a year and I'm starting to hit a wall in improvement. I don't really have a stylistic goal I am working towards, I just want to make good monsters.

I have a few pieces of practice/gesture I can post as well but this is a fairly recent(a month old or so) example of something I've done(really a bunch of sketches but it gets my lack of skill across).

Thats a really cool mech anon, but I had to look at it a while to realize that is what it was.

There are a lot of cool details and shape design in there and your forms are pretty good. The image was still tough to read though because the detail just over whelms every thing and the pretty well thought out larger forms are lost.

I covered up your details and worked on the read of the thumbnail with sharply contrasting value to help pick up the speed of the initial read.

some spooky monsters man, but I would do a fast under drawing of the shapes and a quick lay in of the features to feel out your monster. Take more time to think between strokes and why you are making that mark. Having a consistent thought out line or two will really help you.

Here is a quick example I drew up for you of starting light with big shapes and a quick lay in before making lines final. It's a pretty unimpressive example but I think you can see what I was trying to show you.

I definitely see what you mean. Line control is definitely something I need to work on(i have bad habits I need to rectify) as well as deciding which shapes create forms in specific areas. Your example is better than anything I could do at the moment and I'm glad you took the time to make a visual, it's very helpful!

Thanks for the quick response, it's much appreciated. I'll keep line control and constriction in mind as I work on my own stuff as well as the st/ic/ky.

Still doesn't actually blend. Color on right is 100% opacity, left is 50%. Applying color over the same color will also make that color darker. Not sure if that's something you want, but I've mostly found it very frustrating.

Any reason why you draw the pelvis like that or have the legs detach that way?

It seems like you're trying to invent your own kind of construction, but it doesn't really make sense. There's no need to reinvent the wheel. You can just follow any construction method as close as possible, either Proko, Hampton, or Huston, pick one and copy it as closely as you can and stick to it.

I think also you may be jumping ahead into figure drawing. You should first hone your general drawing skills, meaning that you should learn how to draw and render what you see as it is. I'm not sure you're past symbol drawing yet and attempting figure drawing at this point may just slow you down.

I suggest going with the essentials first. Test your drawing skill with drawing objects from life or doing the starter books like Drawing from the right side, or Keys to Drawing. Also check out Draw a Box.

If you've done that already, you should post here so people can give you feedback. Generally attempting figure drawing or construction should only be done when you have proficient drawing skills. Basic drawing is applied to figure drawing. You do not learn how to basic draw with figure drawing first, unfortunately.

I think the most glaring issue is that his head is too small. I'd advise you to practice gesture, it will help eliminate stiffness and you can make sure your proportions are right before you start on anatomy. Measuring proportion is easier if you use heads... for example, the figure is approximately 8 heads tall and 2 heads wide, on average.

Art education resources are largely dependent on the artist learning, everyone is different. Proko is a largely observational artist, but his videos are good for people who hate reading. Hampton was incredibly helpful for me (and free online) because he deconstructs anatomy into simple shapes that are easy to replicate and study. I'd just try a bit of everything until you find something that clicks with you.

Some gesture drawing websites are quickposes and line of action, there are a bunch of different ones though.

not entirely, there's a fair amount of misinformation out there but if you're looking to learn construction of the human figure, then the same names come up; hampton, hogarth, vilppu, bridgeman, and (unironically) loomis.

I wanted to say "at least I tried," but it is not enough that I simply try. I must succeed in what I do.

Basically what my average page in a sketchbook ends up looking like. A failed attempt at ref drawing, then finding the things that bothered me most about it and trying to either improve it off to the side or just flat out work on that specific area.

Krita is the best by far. Imho when it comes to painting it's on par with photoshop. It has tons of features, nice UI and even animation tools (they're basic but that's by design and they're really really solid). Runs smooth as butter ever since 3.0 and it's super stable (at least on linux, i haven't tried it on windows).

The biggest downside is that there's not as many brushes available online as for photoshop, but the ones that are out there are very nice and making your our own is not hard.

Mypaint is also good but it's not meant for finished works, it's good for practice and quick sketches/paintings or thumbnailing. It has way less tools (on purpose) but it's also way less resource heavy, fast and will run on toasters.

Yah. Here:
I like where you're heading with your color study. A good rule of thumb is the 80/20 rule--in your case, 80% cool colors, 20% warm (this applies vice-versa, too). I think I'd like to see the warmth pumped up a bit in the orange on the horizon? Like, from it's source. Composition-wise, you've got Stannis placed solidly, but I feel like you need more in regards to your fore-middle-and background. Yeah, you've kind of got it established, but let's be real, you can definitely add more suggestion to the foreground. Maybe add more of the bush/twigs that you've already put in? I'd also like to see some rim lighting, but that might just be me.

You side boxes look like long rectangles. Reason being you didn't change your angle enough to justify the small width of the side boxes. At the angles you have, they need to be wider.

I actually really liked the superhero vibe and the proportions on this one so I used it as skeleton and followed your lines. As you can see it's a great body for a superhero comic, but if you tried to make a normal guy you should somewhat reduce the hip to shoulder and ribcage ratio, some length of the arms and the thickness of the legs. you got the pose super well though.

was fun to do. keep going dude.

That animal painting you did is pretty good. Animals are easier than people. Especially animals you don't see everyday. Since we rarely see it our brain doesn't symbolize it.

I'm no expert, but birds are usually composed of very basic shapes covered in a much more complex texture. Try to focus on the basic shapes first before you start on the texture. If you're struggling with the texture, try studying individual feathers.

so here's the second attempt. Not much better in my opinion, but I'll just keep trying.

>head not balanced on neck
>facial features look glued on and are too far to the viewer's left

Normally the full head is meant more so with the intention of getting the angle and shape down and having the proper placement of the face based off the ref, but it's hit or miss with that. I tried to fix this off to the side by redoing what was bugging me

One last thing, I have trouble capturing likeness. For example the drawing makes her look either like an older woman or a guy with long hair. Any tips on that or should it just come with practice and actually getting everything in the proper place and angle?

thanks for critique and feedback

It looks like you're getting the construction and perspective but your measurement is off on various parts.

Also, you are symbol drawing or drawing the face stylized. If you want to capture likeness, you'll want to go for a realistic rendering.

So take the eyes for example, your version is a vague shape that resembles the reference but you did not copy it exactly as it looks. The same applies to the mouth.

The shading is also stylized and not accurate. The light is from the right side so the entire left side of the face is in shadow save for a few areas of light.

All of these different things add up to create likeness.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 11 22:51:18 2017 No.3056544 >>3056474 You're doing well. Just continue with the mouth the same way you drew everything else. Simplify it down to lines and a basic shape. Then fill in the values.

>>3056542
By the measurement being off I assume you mean things like distances between parts of the head and face?

I'll work on rendering a bit, but I'm gonna try not to stray too far into it until I make less mistakes with symbol drawing and inaccuracies.

Thanks anon

I like the motions of the gesture. I think you're getting the idea down. You should try now to use rhythmic lines like in the pic. The lines should flow together to make the motion of the gesture more cohesive.

Your gestures also need a sense of weight and balance. Try adding the ribcage and pelvis to structure the pose. Then learn about the weight distribution of the figure. Keep track of the alignment of the shoulders and pelvis. They usually counter balance each other. Always remember to plant the feet.

Thanks for the advice. I tried a set of 2 minute gesture drawings from a reference pack and then afterwards used line of action, also did 2 from imagination as a warm up. I know one is bad but I feel like a few are okay, please destroy any pride I may have in them.

All your textures look the same. Eyes look weird. Looks like it could be slimey but I don't think that's what you wanted. I don't really know what I'm looking at so I can't be specific.

>>3054236
Awkward anatomy stands out and hinders the poses. Your lines are very scratchy so they don't read well until I enlarge the image. I'm not familiar with hampton but your gestures seem very anatomy focused without really apturing any of the energy.

What kind of response do you want anon? Seems like these are just doodles. Some of your lines are very nice though. The line weight on the woman's back in image 2 is weird.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 12 00:29:23 2017 No.3056637 >>3055157 Maybe try changing the legs so that the far one is in more of a supporting position. It looks like he's running the the direction his chest is, but I think it should be that he's puching toward the screen yes? So he should be turning.

Hey guys, is a comic a decent idea for practice? I don't intend on posting or getting recognition for it but I figured drawing the same characters over and over again in different poses and sizes would be alright for practice. What do you think? Should I stick to something more traditional or should this method work?

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 13 18:10:46 2017 No.3058557 >>3055963 broadening your tonal range could help give it that pop, and try using more than one tool to help get you some more detail. That stem should curve just a bit. Nothing in nature is completely straight. accuracy is there, highlights are nice.
