Question:
I've been drawing for a little bit know and just started trying figure drawing. I have a decent idea of where the muscles go, but have no clue how to make any of my drawings look any bit real. When I pull up a reference I pour almost an hour into it and it still looks like a cartoon. Is this a problem with rendering or do I just need to spend more time on each piece and really try to hone in on certain details?

>>3507638
>>3507726
I think lineart is just lacking detail. They are flat and featureless, whereas sketches show a little character in that they are multiple raw lines laid on top of each other.
Also the stark lines in line art don't allow the eye to deviate from that one defined line, making any imperfections stand out, but with sketches there is larger margin or error so to speak, that covers up or blurs that error with a different line.

You're better than me, but the sketch's thick and messy lines look a bit like shade, so the nose and lips have more form. The sketch's line weight also varies a lot more.

You're not losing anything. You're just unable to hide flaws with line art as you could in a loose sketch. Line art is like watching a porno in HD.

Line art should not be simpler than your sketch, it should be more specific and tighter. Don't be sloppy, take your time and make every stroke count.

[Anonymous No.3508294]

It doesn't really look like you've considered how the light should be reflected, assuming the top is your only light source. The water highlight definitely doesn't work like that.
There are some perspective elements but it could be stronger, especially that tree looks flat. Overall impression is messy.
On the plus side, that thumbnail looks pretty nice.

[Anonymous No.3508401]

thanks for the feedback. i wasnt really considering how the light would bounce back to the top. would the light in the water make sense if it had the beam of light spread so that it covered where the reflection is too? i just made the beam wide enough so that it hit the tree/island the way i want it too. as for the perspective. its supposed to be a 'dome' shape so where the water meets the wall should be going back, while as you go further up, the ceiling gets 'closer' as you get to the gap where the light comes through. its all tricky because i have to go dark but not too dark and there has to be light but it cant be too light. its sooo hard

[Anonymous No.3508408]

>>3508401
When rendering mirror-like surfaces you have to think about where your line of sight bounces instead of where the light source illuminates the surface. Unless the surface is dusty/dirty/whatever you won't have any matte qualities in it. I recommend "How to render" if you want to get used to this kind of thinking. Keep at it

Your contour drawings seem like gestures, so they look more lively. While you construction based drawings incorporate an awareness for placement and direction of bodyparts yet feel more stiff. They also lack any sense for proportions. Start with a drawing like on the left then draw a stick figure on top with correct lengths for the body parts, then add volume to the stick figure.

I stopped faving and retweeting any kind of nudity well over a year ago. Not because I'm ashamed of it or out of concern for followers, but because I don't want artists I follow to get banned. This sort of selfish incivility, the desire to sanitize the web to their own standards, seems to be a western thing, so I see value in keeping eastern and western audiences apart.

[Anonymous No.3508869]

>>3508847
There are a lot of approaches to start a drawing. But the first step would always be to define the space taken up by the figure. This could happen via a simple block in, a gesture, light/shadow or a prelimary contour drawing. It's important to capture the dynamic or shape of your figure, depending on what is more important in your drawing. At this point, there is still no guaranteed anatomical correctness. This is only achieved via construction. The volumeless stick figure is just the first step in this part but it still needs to follow the lines of the gesture or needs to be constrained by your contour to retain the sense of motion or the shape respectively. Note that the gesture or the contour is only preliminary and can stillbe fudged to accomodate the corrected anatomy/proportions as long as the basic line flow of the gesture is still retained.

I think you should definitely spend more time on each piece, but try to focus on the shapes of each individual body part in particular. Take a closer look at how the shapes overlap and join with each other, especially in the arms.

I think the issue with the column is that it is in a wrong perspective all together, it looks longer than what I assume you intended. The colors are nice, but the tree leave's line is unnatural, they all start at the same height

>it looks longer than what I assume you intended
i dont even know wtf i intended. i think it wanted it to be 'decently long or short'
>I think the issue with the column is that it is in a wrong perspective all together
i think i need to turn the square part so it's more 'perpendicular' to the viewing plane?
>but the tree leave's line is unnatural, they all start at the same height
that makes sense. i think ill bring the line down on some and cut some others further up

These are yesterday's studies I did, I think it took me a total of 2 hours more or less, but I'm trying to get into it again since I haven't drawn in a month so I can't handle longer times for now.
Is there a way I can better render the skin with fewer strokes? I'm using the dense watercolor brush in CSP but I was thinking maybe there's a better option, I dunno. Or maybe I just need to practice how to use it more?

Try only using a hard brush to put the colors down, and ONLY when you're completely done with that blend a bit where you feel like it should be, obviously using reference.
Don't do big strokes with it, do it just on certain small places, and if a plane has a soft edge on one side try to keep it hard in the other one.

Alright guys. I didnt want to start a thread for this so I will try asking here.
I am very used to Paint Tool SAI and I feel sometimes I get close to a ceiling and I am keeping myself on the same drawing/painting skills with what I have on my hands and I see many professional and good artist use Photoshop CC. I thought this could be the software so I got PSCC and tried to set it up for drawing. I still can't get used to it and I think brushes need a lot of changes as well as a tool that works like SAI's water brush mixing tool, which mixes pretty well and works for shading.

What are your opinion on this ?
Have any of you moved from SAI or similar to PS? And if you recommend PS.

[Anonymous No.3510757]

>>3510752
there will be nothing like the water tool you have to learn to use opacity and tweak the smudge tool for blending.
photoshop is an industry standard which is why most pros use it and its has many tools that sai doesn't have. also access to a shit load of plugins and customization that sai will never have.

People say that thoughtless drawing is bad but when I try to draw using any kind of technique it ruins my drawings and I don't want to have to use a ruler to measure everything because it's one step away from using a grid.

It's like I can't get into drawing mode when I try to use methods, I can't get that focused gesture drawing or hand wrinkles contour drawing feeling.

This picture isn't the one I drew because it was in my sketchbook but it shows my problem. The first was done kinda half using measuring the second was trying my hardest to measure and the third was not measuring and just kinda painting, while the 3rd looks the most polished I spent the longest on the 2nd by miles.

A problem a see here is that in the reference the background is dark while the objects are much much lighter, you should've darkened the background accordingly and used the charcoal way more sparingly in the objects themselves since they're so light.

While there can be an apparent significant difference between approaches to gesture, the difference in "style" is just superficial, different road same destination.
say for example the difference between vilppu and proko, vilppu focuses more on fluidity and volumes while proko focuses more on simplicity and accuracy, both describe the gesture competently.
Try both, study both and then incorporate the things you can work with into your own approach.
Even if you decide that you prefer a different way, there's always something you can learn from one approach, that will not be as apparent in another approach.

are you serious because /ic/ NEVER says they like my portraits

[Anonymous No.3512894]

I have never laughed so hard before coming to this thread.

[Anonymous No.3512908]

I'm pretty confident in my own self-criticisms, but I could use some advice on how to proceed.

This is the first (excluding a few aimless sketches) drawing I've done in almost a year. I feel I've retained some skills and completely lost others. It's easy for me to see where I went wrong on this one so I can do it better next time, but in terms of more global practice, I'm not sure what I need to work on. Poses, color, certainly.

I guess my question is, is there anything about this that's just offensively bad, or would my best course of action be to just keep doing what I'm doing?

From imagination

[Anonymous No.3512915]

if anyone can help me in this area i'd be really grateful. i really want to know how to utilize my pen strokes more efficiently in sketches. i'm basically trying to balance accurate proportions and edges while also making use of weight to convey depth and light. right now i'm just kind of lost. sometimes i like a small detail of my drawing but the whole thing doesn't round out very nicely.
the biggest challenge i find is balancing the focus between smaller details and larger ones. not sure exactly how to describe what i'm asking, but how do i sketch gud

Stop drawing from imagination and use a reference.

[Anonymous No.3513147]

going to call this finished because theres way too much little details to push. critique?

[Anonymous No.3513166]

finished this. theres just too many small details to push for it to be worth grinding out. critiques?

[Anonymous No.3513209]

Starting to lose track after a string of bad drawings and drawing less and less, now I'm not even sure how to start a picture anymore or where to lay the first lines.

I don't want to quit again, I was doing ok this time.

[Anonymous No.3513213]

>>3513166
While it is clear you put a lot effort into it, you should grind more before attempting to do another one, the perspective is very wrong. Also you were very lazy with the tree leaves, you should look at photos of real forests. Keep at it anon YGMI

[Anonymous No.3513288]

Grinding Loomis/Proko head construction. Can I get crit on what I should focus on & where I'm going wrong? Attempts went from bottom left up to top right.

[Anonymous No.3513289]

[Anonymous No.3513304]

>>3513289
Quit as soon as possible

[Anonymous No.3513306]

>>3512883
it does look flat imo. but i want you to improve. keep working.

[Anonymous No.3513310]

>>3513288
Whem drawing in perspective, your mouths and eyes lack 3dimensionality. Your eyesockets also don't go into the head and the noses don't have the same perspective as the rest of the head. The head in bottom center is actually quite decent.

[Anonymous No.3513319]

>>3513310
Thanks anon, Just moving onto the eyes&nose vids atm. Will focus on those shapes.

[Anonymous No.3513320]

You wanna buddy up? I think having a friend or someone to draw with might go a long way.

[Anonymous No.3514131]

>>3513213
youre talking about the trees in the back right? yeah i have no idea how to do that. what exactly is wrong with the perspective? it's not exactly how i imagined it but i like it the way it is.

[Anonymous No.3514495]

>>3511009
the problem is that you render too early
the middle one is obviously going to look wrong if you haven't figured out where one eye is and are too afraid to fuck with other eye because you spent too much time on it
get some accurate contours down first or you're going to stay stuck on the third drawing in terms of progress
you might think it's close enough but honestly ask yourself if you would fap to it and you'll see where you really are

[Anonymous No.3514502]

>>3511027
1. check out draw 50 cars, trucks and motorcycles for the quick and easy shortcut to car drawing, it'll be fun
2. read through (I'm not saying do the exercises) drawabox to get a sense of what dynamic sketching's trying to teach you
