IF YOU ARE A /BEG/INNER IN ART, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice. We should not have to make new threads or post in the /draw/thread with our fundamental exercises.

Previous Thread >>3884811

Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, or you literally are never going to make it

RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead
2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint

READ THE STICKY if you need guidance when you haven't even started

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.

That's not answering my question and if we go that route then Krita is literally free

What I'm wondering is why the fuck is something so complicated and advanced, with more tools than most people will ever use, something that's standard

[Anonymous No.3887939]

>>3887936
I don't know how to argue against simplicity.
Programs like Blender, 3DSMax, Maya, ZBrush have an equal number of special toolsets made for specific tasks with millions of piling dropdown menus.
Do they make less money wasting time on extra gadgets catering to a small audience? I don't know, but that's what they're going ahead with so there must be some audience using those tools.

>Why do people always recommend photoshop?
>I mean realistically speaking, wouldn't you just need a few things outside of canvas settings, custom brushes and color: layers, rulers/shape tools and masking?
>I don't really get it since one of the apps I tried infinite painter gave me all that and masking but I've only ever drawn in pencil on paper so I Don't get what's so bad about that
>Even Clip Studio seems to just over complicate things instead of "just fucking learn to draw what you want". But I'm literally only practicing with pencil and paper for like a week so I might be missing something
>What I'm wondering is why the fuck is something so complicated and advanced, with more tools than most people will ever use, something that's standard
Well, firstly, Photoshop is a photo editing tool. So it's gonna have photo editing features.
Secondly, What features are you talking about? All tools are useful if you understand them. Maybe not though, depends on the type of work and how much you want to rely on skill. And as for people recommending PS, it's because it's got a shitton of tools that help if you understand them, and the fact that it's industry standard. If you want to stick to the basic tools, no one will stop you from using anything.

I need help with clip studio. Every beginner tutorial i watch is too hard to follow because they assume you are familiar with the prog. Im about 5 pages away from finishing my first graphic novel and now i have learn a whole new skillset to add tone and font. Its depressing.

Look you guys, here is what you need to do.

You report the OP, you sage the thread, you hide the thread, you stop posting in this thread, you ignore every thread made by the nazi spammer. Then find the thread that is not made by the nazi spammer and post in that thread. Okay?

OP purposely made it political when he reposted that nazi image once again. It was a deliberate move so OP obviously cares about being political and trying to bait, otherwise he could have used any stock image.

imagine getting this mad by a pic

also rate this art

[Anonymous No.3888319]

probably a stupid question, but i'm only just starting out, so here goes

how do i draw a PERFECT cube? (or any shape with SPECIFIC dimensions, for that matter.) the front side is easy, because all the lines are parallel to the picture frame, so i just draw a square. but how do i determine where to put the line above, to make all the sides equal? it looks like the red line is closest to what i want, but how can i determine the depth precisely?

[Anonymous No.3888325]

how the hell do you draw the second eye in perspective aaaaaaa

anyways, have a bandage boy

[Anonymous No.3888328]

>>3888325
pls elaborate , you can't be this retarded

[Anonymous No.3888334]

>>3888328
i don’t understand how the second (usually the smaller) eye is meant to distort in any image i draw.

[Anonymous No.3888343]

>>3888319
you mean how do you draw any object in any angle while keeping specific dimensions? that will need some trigonometry shit or some program that do that for you or you

[Anonymous No.3888345]

>>3888334
just use a simple construction method dude

[Anonymous No.3888350]

>>3888343
>you mean how do you draw any object in any angle while keeping specific dimensions
yes

>that will need some trigonometry shit or some program that do that for you or you
fug

so would you say most artists simply rely on intuition there? am i being too autistic for wanting to be super precise about it? i read through one perspective book, and there were all those vague tips, like, "it's good to place the vanishing points well apart, to avoid warped perspective", but exactly how wide apart is "well apart"? it makes me frustrated, 2bh, i thought drawing was supposed to be relaxing

[Anonymous No.3888370]

>>3888334
heres a tip, remember that the eyes are not flat instead they are balls so as they turn you won't be able to see their whole surface but just some part unlike when they are in frontal view, add the bridge nose,front, eyebrows cheekbones,nose and they could be not seen at all, so when you are rotating the head you need to take all those details in mind, easy to say it than doing it i know.

i use this simple construction, i just draw 1 horizontal plane the face and another that i will use as a direction on where the head is facing, one is dived in 3 equal parts to represent the eyes and the other will have and area to represent the dimension of how deep the eye is, the rest is just using loomis shit, i know is not perfect but it's a nice starting point then you can just fix minor mistakes

you are the one making it hard for yourself, if you want precise accuracy take an architecture class or something like that

what are you trying to draw anyway, something like pic? but in different angles while keeping the same dimensions?

Thank you for this response. I'm going to screencap it and analyze more of it later. I really need to focus on differentiating the sections of the torso into 3 parts, same goes for arms.
>>3890690
I just hate how I draw because I used to draw crappy little cartoon characters when I was in Middle School and I am worried that I have entrenched that habit so heavily that I am just stretching that shitty concept around the drawings that I do now even if it isn't true. I understand that "motivation" isn't really something to be concerned about and that just putting in work is enough. My lack of motivation comes more from me being confused and not knowing what to do at this point besides "just draw", because apparently the books I read didn't help, as others can't see that. I believe I understood what I read and what I did read I drew alongside it to try and internalize it. I basically just read them because I was told to do so, unsure if they would actually help me. I draw every single day for at least an hour and have a folder that contains everything I've ever drawn.

These are very quick messy sketches that I am not really proud of.

Any way to easily draw consistent perpendicular lines with a ruler? I line it up with the edge of the paper, but idk if its my ruler or this is just something I'll get better at, but it is kind of iffy.

nvm I could just buy a triangle lol

[Anonymous No.3892064]

How the fuck does this chink make these small bends and curves in the form look so convincing? I already understand how to make shit look not flat, but it ends in most of my forms looking like vases.

My issue is how do I make my forms more dynamic? The only experience I have with art has been some drawabox and this course by Peter Han so I don't know if this is a mileage or visual reference issue.
