You should try sitting in a coffee shop and draw all the people you can see from your table (though it feels like a sport to not get caught looking at them)

[Anonymous No.3276933]

>>3276921
Thanks, anon. If by leaned you mean not entirely vertical, than it's possible this is due to the camera, I can't scan them at the moment so this tends to happen, even though I try to make the picture as perpendicular to the surface as possible.
>>3276928
Yeah, I actually did that on purpose, because the drawings are relatively small (about the size of the palm of my hand), I tend to fall into symbol drawing, so I got a little upset and made them bigger so I can get all the shapes the way I want, symbol drawing continues to be the bane of my existence.

As far as coffee shops go, I've thought of that, but how do you do it without being an aspie?

The colour is good, but you're overblending, the whole point of the exercise was to do in few solid blocks of colour, so you learn to colour pick the right colour directly instead of mixing them. try to use the charcoal brush he included.

Yeah it's meant to be cel shaded (i actually deactivated the shadows layer, as it was unfinished) but even then, it looks so clinical and... dry.

I have the same problem, but it's so bad that even my sketches dont look like sketches, whenever I try to be looser with my lineart i still think too much about how it comes out, it seems like I'm unable to be even a little careless and less robotic/"perfectionist"

[Anonymous No.3277611]

>>3277532
so i've struggled with this a fair amount, and here's my take on the issue of losing depth/energy during the "final pass" stage of artwork:
It's like you have two different brain modes going on. The sketch brain is creative, pulling something out of nothing. it's inventing as it goes. The second mode is a more robotic way of thinking. The finishing brain is trying to work with what's already there and refine. It's not being inventive, it's just following a guideline and often is focused mostly on consistency. Your sketch will have life to it because you were being creative while you made it, you were adapting in the moment and the raw energy is there. Because of a lesser emphasis on perfection, a lot of the drawing tends to be implied. Often times, when "finishing" a drawing, all of the drawing's details are spelled out in so much detail that the impressionistic quality is lost, this quality is the 'energy' you're talking about.

The way I've learned to keep that special je ne sais quoi about a work in the final image is this:

keep your sketch very basic, purposely ignore details and worry about major gestures/poses/shapes. That way, when you go over it a second time, your mind will still be "inventing" as you trace, preserving that sketchy energy but in your finished work.

TL;DR: don't just trace your own work, make sure the process of making the finished image is a creative process, not a mechanical one.

>don't just trace your own work
Good point (and post) anon, thanks.
When you put it that way, it makes sense.

I was watching some episode of ManBen the other day, and i noticed how many of the artists in it have incredibly loose sketches, and improvise a lot with the G-Pen, in the inking phase.
This is probably most due to time constraints, but i think it may help in the way you pointed out, as well.

Incidentally, that comes much easier to me on paper, than on digital (well, pretty much everything does, after years, i still can't get used to the tablet, the way i am with a pencil on paper :/).
Partly because drawing on glass sucks ass, partly because of the tendency to zoom in (i try not to do this, though).

[Anonymous No.3277940]

Tried "inking" it again, this time being a bit more loose, and just trying to imagine the way i'd do it, if i was using a physical pen/ink, how i'd do it on paper, essentially.
Forcing myself not to zoom in, and no variation in pen size (for thicker lines i just go over them again, basically).

I think it looks better, though i'm not quite there yet.
However i think at this point it could also be that what's missing is less theoretical, and more just being able to place a thick or thin line correctly, or discern and control values better; in other words -- practice.

Next i'll try to take the pencils still, and "paint" over them directly, see where that leads.

Any further advice is much appreciated.

>but wasn't aware that putting numbers on vehicles was "his thing" lol
It's funny how a person can admit ignorance and show stupidity while still trying to condescend. It's not "putting numbers" on vehicles you fucking dolt, you'd have to project some of your own total lack of common sense on to me to think I'm saying that. It's simply the number 5, it's a trademark of his.

Keep in mind my making you aware of this will ultimately be to your benefit. If you were to put together a design portfolio of vehicles with 5's on them you'd look like a complete Robertson wannabe without even knowing much about who he is. Wouldn't want that would we? So be grateful I've given you this largess of knowledge~

[Anonymous No.3278137]

>>3277940
In my opinion, it is better, I only do traditional so I can't really help you with the technical stuff, I will point out, however, that some of the lines do look scratchy and it takes away from the image. This isn't such a problem with traditional media, due to it being imperfect from the start, digital media is "clean" by default, which makes the scratchy lines look out of place. By this I mean that traditional media, pencil for instance is 3 dimensional, the tip of the pencil contacts the paper with more that one surface, depending on angle and pressure and thus obscures the scratchy look by having the secondary surfaces smooth out the line, this doesn't happen in digital, unless with specific brushes I'd assume.

One more thing, as far as line weights go, I think you and I share the same problem, varying lines add depth, and you definitely seem to have a solid grasp of which lines need to be thicker (objects closer to you, sharp angles etc.,) but the issue I have is that when I focus on details from the drawing, they look fine, but when I look at it as a whole image, it starts looking flat again. I don't know how to put this the best way, but think of it as micro-variations (variations in the knee, calf) and micro-variations (the image as a whole) they need to have different ranges of line-weight, so when you look at the whole image, the legs (closer to us, need to have proportionally heavier weights than the torso (farther from us).

For instance, if we put line-weights on a relative scale (1 to 10), we'll see that in your image, you use a limited range, for instance 3 for thin, up to 7 for thick, and these don't vary across the image. The line on the shoulder (far and thin) is about the same as the one on the shin (close to us, sharp line). This is fine when you see those parts individually, but in the big picture they lose their effect. Try using lines from 3 to 6 on the torso, and from 7 to 10 on the legs. Hope this isn't too complicated.

You also have some issues regards drawing in "3D" (aka boxes), I thought drawabox was a good resource for helping tighten that skill up. But other people have different opinions. Either way worth checking out.

[Anonymous No.3278319]

>>3278137
Yeah, i get what you mean, you didn't even need to explain it that thoroughly, as it's something i've been wrestling with since forever (i doubt it'll ever end).
My thing is, i feel very comfortable when working traditionally (doesn't mean i'm good, but just as a feeling) and when i draw digitally, it feels like i'm losing 40% of that comfort and confidence.
Of course, however, there is just no realistic way to do stuff traditionally in this day and age (not only because of the convenience of flipping, moving, stretching, erasing endlessly, on digital, but also because of materials' costs etc) so i just have to soldier through.

I'll say though, it's not just me being bad, when i look at even renowned professionals (from Kentaro Miura to American comicbook artists) when they transition to digital inking, the quality always goes down, unless they change their style significantly.
I think off the top of my head, Sara Pichelli is the only one that seems to emulate trad. inking uncannily well, not sure how she does it.

Anyhow, the eternal dilemma (beyond the line weight argument you make, which is mostly solved by just endless practice i think) is: If you draw digital, you should select a style that looks appealing digitally.
The problem is i like the result and feeling of drawing traditionally, but am essentially forced to draw digitally.
The result is an "endless" quest for a style that both looks good, and feels fun/rewarding for me to use.

Also thanks for the compliments.
I've stayed years off of drawing for general life assblasting, and only in the last few months started getting serious at it again, feels good in that sense (first few weeks were brutal).

I just use a ballpoint pen. I've tried a lot of different ones, and end up using the Zebra Fortia almost exclusively. Easily the best ballpoint I've found.

There isn't really one tutorial I could point to or anything, I'm really into spaceship designs from the star wars prequels, Halo (specifically the Covenant vehicles), and designs by Feng Zhu, Jake Parker, Myazaki, and Niklas Jenson. I also worked on an isometric turn-based strategy game for like a year, which made the whole iso drawing angle a lot easier. I like it when ships kind of look like toys, versus the more straight-faced kinda stuff you might see in Eve Online or Star Trek. And bubble domes. Lots and lots of bubble domes.

Hi first time poster! :)

Take the photo straight on and not from the side, the perspective makes it so that we can't see what the drawings actually looks like.
Resize it so that the longest side is max 1000px.
Crop out useless and distracting things that are unrelated to the drawing.

Now enjoy the crab bucket.

Figured i'd post some doodles i did (yesterday) evening at lunch (as a general warm up, time wasting).

My sketching is incredibly messy and non-aesthetic, which is why, even though i have dozens and dozens of these slips of papers with drawings on them, i never show anybody.
But i figure this would be a better place, since they don't stick around forever, anyway.

And since Yesterday i couldn't post, i actually did a couple more during dinner.

Again, sorry for the horrible pic quality and that.

The hatching on the hair (figure on the right) could have a better flow, but otherwise i really like this.
It has a nice, fluid energy and feels confident but light.
That right ear (his right, our left) is especially nice -- the other ear looks a bit flat tho.

I also really like the shading on the seat, but i don't love the cross hatching you did on that hood's drop shadow (figures on the left), feels too heavy.

I'm the same anon who commented on your work, btw.
But yeah, they're all from imagination.
They're characters i'm designing for (hopefully) a (web) comic i'm planning with my brother.
Thing is, i'm really terrible and (especially) intimidated from life drawing.
Or i should say, portrait-style life drawing (i'm fine, and enjoy gesture and quick real life sketches).

-
Since you liked the short haired girl's ones (i was trying, in that page, to find these characters' designs, reason for the check marks, lol).
This is a digital sketch i did this morning of her, closer to the final design (i'll probably make that dead eye more obvious).

Not super versed in this more painterly style, i usually rely on line art, so i'm trying to get the hang of that, too.

[Anonymous No.3285896]

>>3285888
yeah i like the lineart much more. i'm not a big fan of digital in general. i use digital in my comics, but mostly for coloring or applying dot patterns in b/w.

I actually have to start working on it.
So far i only have pieces of the story (enough to start though) and various concept arts about the world and general look/designs.
Problem is finding the time to actually do it.
The dream would be to eventually get enough of a following for it to be self sustaining, but the odds are slim, lol.

Anyway, another day, another quick lunch sketch.
Eventually i'll connect a scanner and all.

thanks anon, that's very nice and motivating to read

[Anonymous No.3286079]

Yeah, it started months ago as a shorter horror story set in 1600 Italy, with supernatural elements (basically hunting the devil and shit), then it went into the back burner for a bit, i had written most of it, but didn't have time to make it.
It was supposed to be very gritty with action sequences feeling heavy and exhausting.

So then we reworked it into something a bit more dark fantasy, larger scope, mixed in elements of WW1's warfare, pushed the horror further (i'm a fan of body horror, too).
most of the characters carried over, and the 1600 aesthetic is very much still in place, just mixed with other things.

Pic related is a concept sketch my brother made, to give you an idea of what i'm talking about.

[Anonymous No.3289062]

>>3284385
Hey, thanks man, hope this isn't too late and you'll see it.

To be honest, I started drawing when I was a kid (like most people I guess), but I was never satisfied with my work and always wanted to get better, didn't have a whole lot of friends, so me and my brother drew all day every day, this stopped when we started art high school (painting direction), when it became a chore. Afterwards I just drew the bare minimum for school and that was that until I dropped out of art college (painting again) after the first year due to missed deadlines and me thinking its a waste of time and effort to fix things.

As far as the drawing itself is concerned, I had classes with a very old school artist in my country (In Eastern Europe) who retired at the end of the 4th year, he was very strict, to the point of being an absolute dickhead, we were scared of him at the beginning but in the end we figured he only wanted the best from us and really liked the old guy. This is important because he was taught in the old Soviet/Russian style, with very strict anatomy/perspective study regiments which he tried to instill in us, which, as is evident by my work, we didn't fully appreciate. He stressed anatomy and line drawing (not contour drawing), he insisted on 80% line drawings well into the third year, limited shading, wanted us to learn to present form and depth using only the most basic elements, something which I'm still trying to figure out.

I dropped out of college 4 years ago and I'm only now starting to get back into things.
