If I'm not mistaken, this will mark a full year since I joined /ic/ and /beg/ and started to learn to draw. The Krampus drawing on the bottom was finished 2 days ago.
I'm kinda disappointed with my progress, my stuff still looks flat and I lack perspective, but I think I have developed something that can be called style. I really intensely regret that I've stopped drawing for about 3 months, could had achieved a lot more progress.

Last thing I had finished before stopping was the character with rosy colored hair and antlers. Pregnant baphomet was the very first thing I've finished when I went back to it.
I was depressed and enraged with a bunch of stuff going in my life, drawing her wih those wavy lines helped me get over it. The pregnancy has uh, a bit of a symbolic meaning.

Thanks! I don't think I've done anything special other than reading the sticky on beg and practicing poses/copying photos until I improved my hand coordination, which is really shitty. Copying pictures from artists I like also helped.
I've read half of bridgmans book, but I had a no patience to do all exercises because I get burned out really easy. I've done a bit of everything so I don't get tired or bored, sometimes it's really hard because of depression and stuff.
I tend to overcompensate for my lack of skill at basic stuff by spending a lot of time on everything I draw and I only consider it finished when I achieve a result that is very close to what I have in mind, no matter how much time it takes.
I lack grinding more fundies, gonna try to improve at it this year.

A pretty normal diet, I just don't eat much at breakfast. Drinking and eating greasy stuff mostly at weekends after I get laid.
I don't go to the gym, but that's probably compensated in a way, I have a low wage job at a geography and statistics governmental organ (it's also the reason I got pissed and stopped drawing for a while). My daily work gets me walking around at a minimum least of 3-5 hours nonstop, at brutal days I get to walk 6+ hours doing stuff. At weekends, I rest for a day and then at sunday I either date or go have fun somewhere, and maybe walk for 4 more hours.
My reason for being depressed is mostly because I got overburned from studying to get a graduation at 2 different places and it was an absolute waste of time, effort and life.
I can't explain properly, but I feel anxious about starting to draw, sometimes about finishing a drawing, moving on from a sketch to inking. I feel like I'm going to fuck up, that my effort will be for nothing, that my end result will be an ugly drawing.
I tend to get stuck at simple stuff like sketches and insisting on polishing a very rough sketch for hours, so I don't grind fundamentals properly.

Pic is very related. Sorry for blogging.

If it's anything mainstream normal then you should re-evaluate if it's not worth to give other things a try. The reason why I asked what you eat is because you are what you eat. My mental health got better once I got into keto. I have more energy as well and don't suffer from this fatigue that would occur through the day.

Linked below is a pretty good video about the benefits of keto...

...and here's a channel that has various informative videos about food affecting your body/brain etc.

>My reason for being depressed is mostly because I got overburned from studying to get a graduation at 2 different places and it was an absolute waste of time, effort and life.
I know that feeling. I had a similar experience that threw me into the NEET dome for half a decade.

>I can't explain properly, but I feel anxious about starting to draw, sometimes about finishing a drawing, moving on from a sketch to inking. I feel like I'm going to fuck up, that my effort will be for nothing, that my end result will be an ugly drawing.
That nagging feeling of losing even more valuable, irreplaceable time, aye? You have to make it a habit to remind yourself why you are doing it in the first place and what your goals are.

>I tend to get stuck at simple stuff like sketches and insisting on polishing a very rough sketch for hours, so I don't grind fundamentals properly.
Try out setting up a timer with an alarm sound to snap you out of that "gotta polish that turd no matter what" mindset. It's an unhealthy habit.

All in all, pic related. Start small with a "healthy" habit and move on from there.

Yeah, I've noticed some of your drawings seem to invoke a sort of mood. Like the characters are cheerfull/sexy, but surrounded by a gloomy black color. I've also read this book and I can relate, mostly at the stuff related to failure and trying to please parents, it took me half of my life to snap out of it.
I hope I'm not bothering you, but what are your favorite artists?

Can't do yearly improvement because I only started doing digital art about 4 months ago wich is also around the time I started lurking on here.
I already did trad stuff but my phone's camera sucks so I can't really post it, but I decided to draw today the same character I did in my first drawing I did on my tablet to see if I improved.

Thanks for your guidance, I'll give it a try, luckily, I already avoid most of the stuff considered unhealthy and the diet in my country is typically low in carbs. I've tried the alarm thing once, but it's mostly for when I'm grinding so I wont stay drawing just one pose for too long.
>>4278309
Yeah, I also get stuck at the "staring" thing. I open the damn file, stare at the pic for a while but don't plug in the tablet. Then I go browse something else or play a game, and every 10 minutes I go back to look at it until it's already late night and I go to sleep.
It's like a mental "should I...? Should...?! SHOULD I?!?!?!"

Thank you. You're right about my proportions and sense of depth, recently I've been trying to push perspective in my pieces to help with the latter but unless I put all my effort into focusing it just doesn't click with me. I think it's just a matter of experience at the moment so I just have to keep practicing. When it comes to proportion I think I just develop tunnel vision a third of the way into a drawing and forget to picture as a whole. Thank you for pointing this out anon, I'll try to be better

Drawing from imagination is conbining construction and perspective techniques with memory. The memory comes from drawing from reference. If you dont draw from reference you have nothing to recall when inventing. Your reaction is just a sign of your own ignorance. NGMI

how convienient that i had two paintings exactly a year apart about the same subject matter. anyways i only put about 3 hours into the left and forgot about it. then decided to clean up and finish thing i forgot about. i ended up wanting to draw something similar with a more interesting composition and perspective so i came up with the right drawing and im about almost 3 hours in. rendering fucking sucks and ill probably forget about this one too.

when i started i directly studied artists that i liked, focusing directly on stylization, if you pay attention you will notice that i dont really have a defined style, i always try something different for every piece, i play with the anatomy in the same way.

i dont read any book, what i did was creating my own construction, using other artists as a base, it can be anything, circles, boxes, even trianges or a combination of everything, something that help you to see forms more easy.

I don't really like to show my old drawings but here you go, I don't think I improved much last year in comparison to the year where I started (2017) and the year following (2018), I haven't had the time to draw as much as I wanted to in 2019 either (around 9 to 13 hours a week) so im hoping to draw more this year.
I also only recently started playing with colors because for a long time I was too focused on grinding anatomy, so it's kind of bad, especially the hair. I tried to learn the fundamentals but I'm still struggling hard.

In the olden days of /ic/ despite 4chan being an anime website, drawing anime was heavily looked down on. Back then I was a much weaker artist and didn't understand why but looking through this thread it all makes sense now.

Anime doesn't teach you anything, it is a style that is entirely focussed on aesthetics and not on fundamentals.
You cannot draw good style without fundamentals. Your gesture sucks, your colour sucks, your values suck, your rendering sucks, your use of texture and light and expression all suck! Stop drawing anime, it is a dead end path that will not lead you to gitting gud, your drawings will always be mediocre if you do not turn back around and learn art the traditional way

Generally? Sure.
Over the course of just one year? Unlikely, unless you're just starting out (easier to visibly improve at the beginning than later on) and put a ton of time and effort into it. Most of the time, there is improvement but it's gonna be more subtle. Getting good at art is not for the impatient.

Also, might want to consider a different medium for coloring than colored pencils, or else look up some tutorials on how to use them properly. That scratchy look makes your piece look a lot more amateurish than it needs to be.

I would say you've gone in the wrong direction.
Like me you have been caught up in your lines being perfectly sized and balanced and even. Dont worry about that. Good lines will come and they wont be these mathematically streaks of colour.
Draw rough again.
