I can seem to do understand Loomis figures just fine, but when I try to do something from imagination It ends up like an abomination. I am a talentlet? I am Just unable to draw? Should I just leave art altogether?

What do you expect to gain from posting something like this? What do you want people to tell you? Just fucking draw

If it's any solace, looked the same for me and tons of others. This is normal if you aren't super talented or drew a shitton as a teenager.

If those are from imagination, they're fine. Just keep practicing.

it takes practice wtf is with all these gloomers giving up after barely trying, get your shit together and keep drawing

Well now you need to figure draw. Using loomis deconstruct the figure repetitively for memorization. Drawing is memorization, Loomis is an aide for it.

Don't leave art, but you should probably seek a therapist and I mean that in the least demeaning way possible. You probably want validation from this board because you have no other place to get it from and/or from a lack of emotional support during your childhood if my armchair psychology serves me right.

No, you just have to keep learning and keep drawing.

Why are you being so fucking dramatic? Drawing nice figured in general is a challenge even with reference, it will take years of practice to draw a figure from imagination exactly how you want. Art is a process that takes time and energy to get what you want, quit giving up so easily

If you’re reacting this harshly to an art failure as trivial as not being able to draw a figure the way you want it, something that can be refined so easily and takes a ton of time to understand, then art might not be for you.

Yes, but you can't improve when you're dead. If I were you I wouldn't be stressing over drawing from Imagination just keep using reference until you feel confident enough, keep practicing.

Grinding Loomis is a stupid fucking meme. You shouldn't be learning anything from just 1 artist or you'll become a crappy clone of them. Look at stuff from Loomis, Vilppu, Bridgman, Hampton, Hampton, Proko then stuff from artists that make you want to draw (For me Sakimi, Araki, Rosschan, Slugbox, KNKL(And every other Riot artist)), and draw on lineofaction or quickposes. Eventually you'll have your own method, and you won't hate your art for looking like an offshoot of another artist's style.

And none of that "should I stop drawing/kms" babble. Being shit at art should make you want to get better, not stop, that's the true way to be gmi

No, you don't understand Loomis figures, because you're not constructing human figures correctly. You're treating the human form like legos, and are using the wrong pieces, in the wrong places. The intent is clear, the execution is highly flawed. Just copying Loomis is just part of it - you have to understand how a body actually fits together. Your hips on those figures are impossible and broken, and entirely too low on the left, and you have her vagina halfway to her knees on the right.

LOOK at the human body. LOOK at how the forms fit, and how they change when they move. IMAGINE the skeleton and muscle structure. If you can't imagine the body in that position, find photos and figure it out. Loomis is used with ALL OTHER learning exercises, to be able to visualize a basic human body in your mind, and translate that to the page.
Stop with the childish despair, and apply yourself more. Keep doing it until the lightbulb goes off over your head, and you get it.
