Sticky: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj

TRY TO 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.

REMEMBER, if you've just started out you work will not be good, it doesn't need to be, just get in to the swing of actually drawing, and learning how to study. Most of all, enjoy it.

"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do."

Checked. And you're getting there, focus on understanding the shape of skulls and facial placement. The face is probably the biggest sin here, as is the head in general, and the very symbolic and stylized hair. But otherwise not bad, keep at it. The anatomy is passable where it is now.

yo i just watched a marco bucci video on ambient occlusion cause i cant deal with shading and it really helps to understand that shadows cuase by ambient occlusion actually doesn't have anything to do with the primary light source, but rather the environment. so when shading, i can first fill in the hard, really dark cast shadows caused by my primary light source, then either alter or remove some of those shadows based on how exposed the forms are to the environment. really helps to break it into steps like that

I got a good idea of how the body is constructed from front and 3/4 standing angles, but I struggle a lot with poses like the one in the bottom.

I don't understand whats going on with the hips and how you would build the butt out of that, I also fail to understand whats going on the torso around the abdomen part.

>>3834009

ok, but I'm struggling with the basic stuff that would come before the anatomy, with those specific poses, I don't know if its the foreshortening screwing with me, or the angles or what, I can't seem to get the gestures right for a pose like that, and then add some guidelines to it. I can't picture it and I'm not sure what it is.

For example, with a head on pose, I know the ribcage is kinda of an egg shape, I understand where the clavicle and neck muscles meet, how the hips on females are usually wider than the shoulders.

But all that goes out the window with the poses like the one I posted

Draw a line of action, then draw a spine within the line of action. It's pretty easy to find the spine and imagine it as a tube and it almost always has an S curve. It's also easy to turn it around in perspective. Attach the ribs and pelvis to it and work from there.

agree. before you go straight into drawing the animal, you should do some construction and map out your major shapes. you get the form a lot better that way. then you can build on top

Study lighting from photos and life. Rule is, shadows should be much darker than midtones and average lights. Naturally, rules are made to be broken, but not by beg.
Cool lighting study. Reminds me of Marcos Mateu Mestre. The lamp seems like it's been turned into the dude's arm tho, maybe try giving it a far edge to differentiate it.

So I'm trying to work my way through Bargue, time to stop now that my shoulder is sore.

I'm on the first plate with the eyes. When I do it right it looks good, but I am having trouble with scale. I'm not bad at the angles, but my drawing slowly "grows" as I draw. I can solve this my using my pencil on the screen and measuring, but it feels like cheating.

This honestly reminds me a lot of the DAT, probably good practice for drawing.

I don't see a reason to do pen only. Do pencil, pen, and anything else you want, why limit yourself? Erasing isn't a crutch either. Any substantial piece will be done in multiple stages anyway and will require exploratory drawings where you try out different ideas and discard ones that don't work. The idea that erasing is bad just seems silly in that context.

Drawing every day is what you should aim for, but keep it within reason. Burning yourself out will not help in the slightest, but at the same time you can't fall for the trap of using that as an excuse to procrastinate.

You need to be getting some level of enjoyment out of art or you probably aren't going to improve as fast. Maybe focus on learning something new like landscapes, textures, clothing, etc. for a while and take a break from what you've been doing so far?

Consider your light sources. Lower your shadow values to create more contrast; in fact, the entire body is too bright, is she a vampire or something? I'd also work on that uniboob, use a shadow to separate them. Regarding anatomy, her right leg looks completely off and not like it connects to her pelvis at all. There's a ton more I could tell you but work on those things first.

If thats the case I'd say at least more of the trees near the front could be made bigger. Some branches in the foreground could also add more to the composition. Or some rocks and plants on the ground. Something to make the background feel more of a unit to be seen with the figure as opposed to two separated things. If that makes any sense. Not bad overall though, I like it.

Thank you for allowing me to post this here. Please, When it comes to planning out the position and appearance of water in these two images, is there any idea or method that you would recommend when it comes to visualizing it? Would thumbnail sketching be the right path to go, attempting to draw three or four different waves (for the image on the right), and deciding from there about which splash/detail/review is better? I'm limited when it comes to the amount of the time that I have for digital work, should I have the details and layout of that wave already planned out in sketchbook pages beforehand? When it comes to the statements about learning the fundamentals, should I have done 10 or so strong-heavy-concentrated studies of similar waves, watching videos of the sea in that state? Or is it okay to freehand the scale and appearance of that wave without looking at any reference images, just doing whatever feels best?
Is there anything else that I need to study? Thank you for allowing me to ask, I hope that your week has been off to one good start.

A common misperception is that you have to draw every hair, to give the impression of "fluffy", but it's more capturing the illusion. It's not easy, but look at the hair, and what visual cues would define it as "fluffy" - the spectral highlights, the coloring, etc. DrawMixPaint has a video on that, using color to give the illusion of texture. We know mentally what "fluffy" is, so you give the viewer enough visual cues so their brain fills in the area with 'fluffy". If that makes any sense - and it's not hard, once you figure it out. It's not easy, it's something to start looking at and trying to work out.

Like, a puppy's belly is usually pink with very fine hair, where a lot of pink shows through. Paint it pink, and add more lighter values and white on the edges, to give the illusion of a fine coating of light hair blending into darker hair on the rest of the body.

You're drawing too much, for a painting. You just need to define the face, and not use charcoal or lead to do the values. Not only can it lead to adhesion issue for the paint, your eye will be thrown off establishing the values with paint.

You should do this level of work on preparatory sketches, not the sketch for the actual painting. Outlines and contours is all you need.

first make sure to scale down your drawing to ~1080p when uploading here
now, let's talk about your drawing
I can't really criticize your drawing because there are a lot of thing that are off. So I'll give you some general tips, then feel free to try again and post here.
1) Look at and heavily use references. They are so so so useful, you can't build your imagination without using reference. Learn to copy from a reference, be it life drawing or a photo.
2) Don't chicken-scratch. Don't "pet" your lines. Be confident even if you're not (you have to build it first, but make an effort).
3) Try using smaller brushes. You will be tempted to use larger brushes to cover anatomy flaws. Don't do that! Don't be lazy. Maybe don't go straight for 1px wide brushes.

That's it for now. You can find a ton of reference on pinterest, or even instagram. Find artists you like and study them.
Also, tracing is a good way to learn if you're struggling. (But don't overdo it. You can build bad habits easily)

Paint what the trees actually look like, not cartoons of what you think they look like. Trees have shapes. The foliage has shapes, and over contours. Backgrounds are not just squiggles either, define the shapes.

And don't use black. Use darker hues, and look for the color that's there, not "shadow = black".

The hardest part of landscape painting is values and hues. Stop worrying about fine details, work on bigger, block shapes, more impressionistic, to get used to establishing your values and hues, and work up to more detailed paintings later on. Slow down. Landscape painting can take years to master. Broad strokes in the beginning, with emphasis on value and hue.

A little more progress.

I included the 'wireframe' just to show how badly it was planned out. The head looked like someone took the face and stretched it out.

Anyway, I think it looks betterish. Still a learning process but I'm getting there.

To the anon that redlined it earlier. I think you did a good job. Shouldn't have taken it down.

Nice guess with the axe by the way. That's what he's going to have.

The reliquary isn't so much a box though, rather something built into his brigandine.

I don't think it should, i also draw on a small bamboo pen tablet and my hand just glides across the surface, maybe you're pressing too hard on it?
Also make sure you have checked on forced proportions and that the tablet area is full sized

there's a few methods, the fastest method I've found that produces the same cube as others is pic rel. I adopted it from Erik's 3point lectures in which he used a similar method, swinging the sp into the vertical artillery line to get a 45* vertical vp which will give you the height of a cube. The convenient thing about this is you only need one 45* vertical vp, but should be noted you could do the exact same thing with the other side.

I took an interest in art to make interesting things, but practice is all about doing boring things. There is a certain level of satisfaction from seeing my own progress, but not enough to give me a firm motivation. Should I try changing up my practice method or is this just something I'm going to have to grind discipline on? What kind of pace should I enforce?

>>3836735
Alternate between grinding and drawing something you want to draw for fun, like a character concept or w/e. Hell, even trace shit you like for your break and alter it after in your own style. A lot of people here will freak out over suggesting tracing but it helps you gain motor control and you can become more familiar with forms.

The image is flat, because you're not working up and values in a way that would indicate depth of field. You have the darkest values in the background, competing with the same values in the foreground, which pushes the middle, which is the focal point, into the background.

And, you need a lot more work on rendering and lighting. You have next to no lighting set up, even though the focal point is a campfire. There is no distinction in terms of texture between any of the objects. There is no regard for composition, in terms of what is most important in the image, and it all blurs into a jumbly mess in the eye.

It's not awful, it's fine as beginning work, but you need to work towards the next levels in all areas, focusing on the basics - form, volume, texture, lighting, overall composition, and using value correctly.

Just keep going. Don't get too advanced, keep it simple. Maybe try this piece again, as just line art, no shading, to work on line quality and confidence, and then do another to work out the values, and rendering.

I don't keep sketchbooks, I scan the good stuff and toss the rest. Same for a lot of student work. I kept a couple of good pieces, scanned some others, tossed the rest. Finished work, like paintings, I keep - I have watercolors going back to 8th grade.

I'm never going to be a famous artist, so i'm not hanging onto it all for any other reason than sentiment.

work on understanding the proportional relationship of facial features
>>3833757
for me understanding the anatomy of the animal i'm drawing helps, i understand the underlying shapes and their purpose and can therefore generate more accurate mental pictures
>>3833842
the eyes look alarming because they are thickly lined and the shading is inconsistent with the rest of the image. your proportions are very bad. limbs must be longer than the torso, yours are not. a better understanding of the mass of human flesh and the way it moves will greatly benefit you if this is the type of artwork you want to pursue
>>3833846
chuck some straight lines over your image, her face is currently very lopsided. keep studying your values, you're on a good path there
>>3833850
don't bother with colour until you have a better grasp on 3D form. right now ur image is a mess of ill-defined blobs. don't be afraid to use hard edges. try studying both irl human races and skulls to get a better grasp on the placement and size of facial features
>>3833955
when you draw the lines for feature markers they actually need to be straight lines. use a ruler if you need to but you should also practice simply being able to draw straight lines
>>3834006
you need to work on your understanding of 3D space. the clothes of the characters look exceptionally flat and physically nonsensical. study how actual fabric moves on the human body
>>3834511
yes. if you need to begin by directly tracing loomis' constructions to understand the proportions, then do so
>>3834669
torso is too large for starters. for anime the eyes should be in the lower half/third (depending on how far you take the distortion) of the "skull". also she(?) isn't currently wearing that cap, it's sitting on the top of her head. see pic. it would do you well to practice just drawing smooth lines to rid yourself of the chicken scratch lines

>>3834856
confine urself to hard round brush and airbrush for gradients when needed. no blur or smudge or whatever the hell it is you've managed to do
>>3834905
its because ur proportions are nonexistent. you need to go back to basics of construction
>>3835263
you need to be confident in ur areas of light and shadow, not just ill defined suggestions of where you think there are highlights and dark areas. the hair doesn't look like it's adhering to your light source at all, if you need to than study how hair responds to light that falls on it. ur brushwork is awful, i would not try emphasising it until you can use to effectively establish shapes
>>3835265
ur values are fucked. her shirt should not be the lightest thing in the image. either use lines or don't, you shouldnt need lines to define because the value should be doing that for u. study portraits and figures that use powerful lighting - especially ones with clothing
>>3836552
don't be afraid to use darker greys. also try and move away from giving every edge a defined and clear-cut "line" it will make ur works look stiff and artificial

I was worried that I wasn't emphasizing the spine enough in my drawings, so I decided to follow more of Loomis' "Fun with a Pencil". A lot of these are from reference in the book, but some of them are ones I came up with on my own.

Could anyone point me to a good demo of using color pencils properly? I much prefer using watercolor and gouache but I have to use color pencil for an assignment and everything I try looks like a 5 year old did it.

I'm looking for a watts/james guerney level example of using color pencils because everything I find on youtube is very amateur looking due to color pencils being associated with young kids.

I would advise you to work slower and with a smaller brush size. Draw each figure more carefully and correct your mistakes by drawing over in a new layer rather than just blowing through 20 messy figures.
If you aren't already you should do some warmup straight lines/arcs/circles/ellipses and some boxes in perspective.
The more confidently you can draw those simple forms the better your figures will look.
Either way keep it up and good job getting some work done.

Ok, 2 questions.

I'm trying to design a patch for a group of us graduating an intense training course.

We've come up with an Armadillo character as our mascot so it is going to be the main focus of the patch. It's probably self evident that I don't normally draw but...

1. Are there any basic things I can attempt to make this look slightly better?

2. More importantly once I've imported this image into photoshop, is there any techniques I can do to make the lines solid/smooth/less scrappy.

Think in shapes. Use a compass.
I mean I kinda like the style of this one, you can look at some inkpen pieces for inspiration, but what I see here is a potential for some shapes.
If a patch is circular, then you can make the armadillo half-circular.
If you're doing it digitally, use paint tool sai, inkscape or krita. They all have a line smoothing function.
Hope it helps.

I wish I could say this was just a quick sketch but the shit took hours.

Only thing I think I managed to fix was the flatness seen from the first photo, but I still draw the lines too evenly spaced.

Are you supposed to understand perspective before starting Fun with a Pencil? Anything I draw looks slightly...off, probably because the chin angle doesn't quite align with the face angle and I don't know how to fix it without a complete do-over.

He teaches you how to not draw slightly off and how to align angles as well as how to fix things without doing complete do-overs. He also teaches you how to fix your errors during construction so that your drawing does itself once you're past that stage. He teaches you bigbrain artistic awareness.
