not really, only if you're drawing from life.

It can be helpful if you're an absolute beginner and can't distinguish between what you see and what you think you see yet but you should really draw from life whenever possible since cameras distort the image.
It's fine to use photos for reference but copying them 1:1 won't teach you anything except for how to copy photos 1:1 and will just waste a ton of time you could be using to learn how to draw from your mind

if you do a brainless copy just looking at lines and values you wont learn as much as if you question yourself all along the process...

for ex you can learn countless things from this photo..

analyze the planes of the face, terminator on the zygomatic bone.
how to tackle some of the edges...how the bounce light affects the under of the chin, as well as the hair.

interesting insertion of the sternocleidomastoid....

etc...

but thats kinda behind the point... the op is still struggling with basic copying skills....hes just training his eye at this point and he already improved a lot since august.

I need some advice. I'm currently working on shlomo fanart to ultimately turn it into a wallpaper that depicts how money will never buy true happiness, even for a Jew.

I have an issue with the outlines, it just doesn't blend in with the background. Also the colors. Just doesn't seem natural overall. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Is that why so many Tumblr artists seem to have similar coloring styles? Even if many of them aren't bad artists at all, I feel like using the same coloring styles does not "individualize" their art enough from the rest.

Currently working on a Acrylic painting, recently I feel like I'm not improving that much.
Also never dropped so hard something like the drawing of Jan 2017 and the last paiting, I spent too much time in those 2 and the results were dissappointment. Rushed the last one (Which isn't hard to tell because it looks like shit) because I was very mad and didn't wanted to finish it but I had to since it was my art project for the School period.

Yeah I know, sometimes (Most time) I dont use references, simply construct the face from imagination. Never have done an In real life study usually just use photos for them, but I'm working lately in them here are a most recent ones.
I think the problem is mostly the Jaw line (Like in the right drawing), I do them too narrow triying to avoid made the face look too manly but instead end up with a Pseudo anime thing that doesn't look that good. Also the eyelashes and eyebrows are fucked up on the right pic.

The improvement i see here is line variance or line thickness. The next thing I would suggest trying is to add more shadows and more levels of value with the lighting; show more individual strands of hair, bones, muscles and the complexity of the deformations in the cloth. It's a challenge as it adds more work to the piece but it's that extra step which really makes it look complete.

I think you've gotten to a good place, what you need to do is think to yourself as to what you've yet to study. Art is all about rendering objects and merging them into a composition. Study everything and all things and your art will improve bit by bit. If you've yet to do Anataomy studies, try that. Think about what you're not confident in creating and focus on that challenge. If you have a had time coming up with ideas on what to create, then try taking passages from books and various descriptive writings and render them visually.

I think you've found your style well and your understanding of proximity, how close objects are, is very good. Good use of shape and color as well, the forms really pop and i dig the poses.

It's up to you how to improve from here. Work on some perspective and environments and then take these characters and place them in a world. Try vertical and horizontal canvases with alternately placed horizon lines.

It's mostly layer effects and gradients, then I applied an overlay with a lighter green for a bit of a glow like effect and did some hard brush here and there to give it hard edge feel.
The painting in general is a bit rushed and I still feel like I've never done a single proper completed piece, but at least it's more complete than my usual sketches.

Somehow your constructive drawings of the Gurren Lagann mecha and oveall later 2015 and early 2016 seem to be a lot more interesting both form wise and composition wise.
To be honest it just might be that I don't fully dig the way you stylize things, it's this very generic Gorillaz looking late 2000 street art character inspired stuff that I never liked.

They were smart enough to use their time when they weren't doing shit, because most of your teenage years are spent into void.

The earlier portrait is so much more expressive. The right one looks like a photo run throughed a photoshop filter imo. By the looks of it the newer one is digital and the older one is traditional?

Current WIP:

Started this in Oct 2016, gave up for obvious reasons, I mean look at it.

Re-drew about a month ago, and just started coloring it in the last couple weeks (I work so fucking slow).

Well as mentioned i started drawing by doing bargue copies of his human blockout sketches. i posted a lot of these in the last few beg threads. i started out with an elaborate gridocunt and then would reduce that gridcount with every new copy i did. that helped me a lot in getting a graspe of the pencil and the materials and just sitting down and doing something to the best of my ability.

then i also found a workflow for me that works really well when drawing the figure.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA9o111IH1VD8Kxz0YLn8_A
check out the 10 part figure drawing series on that channel, it helped me a lot.
i also completely changed the way i look at things. i draw from photos because of a lack of life drawing classes near me, but the problem with photos is that they are of course 2d. so the way i looked at them was also very 2dish. what i started to do is basically imagine the human in the photo as a 3d mannequin, with cylinders and boxes. so in my mind i start to rebuild the real perspective that happens in the photo.

pic related, you can see my initial quick construction. if things work well in this stage the drawing will turn out alright almost always. and then i just put the 3d forms i see onto my construction. i basically look at the legs as cylinders for example, so you can see how i made some wrapping lines that made that leg go awayf from us as if we could see inside it from that perspective if it was actually see through.

hope that helps

Studying loomis and fundies can be boring and may prevent you from getting your pen on paper. From my graph, I noticed that noticeable change is correlated to high drawing frequency and studying. Recent month long breaks and imagination drawing has caused stagnation.

Hello, as someone who regularly browses /co/, i have not often seen the work of /ic/, thus i cannot tell what is often seen as good or bad on this particular board. Because of this, i do not know if this type of art style is acceptable in these parts, but recently i drew the phantasm in a bruce timm style, and would enjoy hearing what you guys think of it and what i can improve on. Thank you.

Did you spend the same amount of time on both?
The details/shading is much better in the earlier.
Perspective in new is all kinds of fucked up like her body being in an eye-level view but her head being viewed from the bottom, her arm reaching in front of her body but her sword not moving into the background but still going behind her body.
New's body is just bulky in general for no reason like her calves are asymmetrical and square.

I just changed the technique for something more clear, I just think that works better for this kind of body.
The others things are just experimental bullshit that I like to do, try new kind of bodys and stuff like that, I see why you think thats worst because is so diferent but it's not like I abandoned the old style, I just learn a new one.

It's more about wanting to call everything a meme because it's the cool and hip word to use. Misusing the word is also way more common outside of 4chan. I'd say it began with calling image macros memes and nowadays people call making just about anything "making a meme".

I like the composition in both.
Though the body trails on the left are more aesthetic, and the colors seems more tightly chosen, there is an improvement in the new one. Mainly anatomy and render. But your proportions are a bit off. For example the head of the male on the right is too big for his body, but not enough to look cartoony like the left one.

Thanks, anon. Appreciate the honest crit there. You're right about the dude's head, but I'm not sure I care to rework it at this point.

As for the composition, yeah I got caught up in fixing the rendering and drawing that I guess I let some of the aesthetic get away from me. I'll see if I can bring some interest back to that part.
