Reposting from the old thread.

Does anyone here draw with an iPad and pencil? If so, do you have a screen protector on yours? I have a generic one on mine and trying to draw on it is like a fucking slip and slide. I know you can buy 'paper-like' screen protectors, but apparently they absolutely shred the nib of your pencil and I don't want that. Any solutions?

face composition is more well resolved with the stick in her mouth going to other way, but the linework messed up some of your values on the face

[Anonymous No.4602322]

>>4602298
Tablet is broke so I'm using a mouse to draw this

The head needs to shift slightly to the right. the left shoulder and the back look like they have no separation, try to draw an indention or crease in the bump to show this. The hands look a little too noodley, try to draw a sharp joint to indicate the wrist and knuckles. Lastly the foot either needs to come down a bit or you need to indicate that it is in the foreground with shading/contour lines. Its the same size if not slightly bigger than the other foot so it looks like he's standing on a rock.

I shall also repost since I'm at a loss.
I'm starting drawabox and lesson 1/3 'The path of least resistence' is bothering the hell out of.
I was just getting less shit at copying stuff but when i try to use only my shoulder my pencil goes fucking everywhere. Could i just stop leaning my arm against the table so that it's free, and then just work on using my shoulder subconsciously, or is the right way to force myself to correct it manually?

[Anonymous No.4602361]

Some anon said to in response to this that I should try 30 seconds and "one line only", does that mean just the line of action? Wouldn't that really be 30 seconds for a single curved line?

Again, this was with a mouse, so bare with me here.

This is what I mean when I say contour lines. You can use this technique to show the flow or rhythm of a bodypart, be it an arm, leg, finger ect. Without any contour it just looks very 2d and odd.

Greetings lads. I'm not a drawfag but I'm doing a 3D model and I want the texture to have the lighting drawn on it. I have a series of lights on the floor next to the wall, pointing towards the ceiling. I tried it irl for reference. The problem is that I don't even understand what I'm looking at. What the shape of the light on the wall is. Is there a tutorial for drawing light?

[Anonymous No.4602404]

>>4602398
You can draw 1 minute already. The 30 sec drawings are there for you to see the overall gesture while the 1 minute leaves you time to draw contur lines over the figure and give it a sense of 3d like >>4602371
It's just the approach of 30sec drawings and 1 minute drawings thats different. The best way is if you got the gesture down. The one "sweep" you take to show how the figure moves. After you have this without thinking much about it you can move on safely.

[Anonymous No.4602419]

>>4602400
Learning to draw light and how it behaves is 90% of what drawing is. Just copy the shape in this case.

Low opacity brush, many strokes to blend.

[Anonymous No.4602435]

>>4602398
The point of drawing fast is to keep you focussed on getting the general shape and movement (gesture) right without getting mired in details. You stop doing it when you're happy with them.
After drawing a while and getting some feedback, you'll probably notice you're not happy with them anymore, so you go back to practising.

I'm not sure what the other guy told you to do, but look up some "gesture drawing" pictures. You want to draw a lot of those without spending a lot of time on each (30 sec, 1 min, whatever). The "one line" thing means you don't take your pencil off the paper, and is just a way to get used to flow.

But again, I'm not sure what you're trying to do.

[Anonymous No.4602488]

>>4602481
not him, gesture drawing is for teaching you to make more expressive lines that aren't meant to line up or make the proportions exact, they add flow and appeal to your shapes (not just characters). with practice you'll take a pose picture, exaggerate (or 'push') the pose while still maintaining balance (by drawing counter-acting weight on opposite limbs, etc

Don't take that rule too strict. It's about learning to flow instead of making lots of small lines, like this guy: >>4602453

You're looking at a lamp that has a glass cap and a bunch of internal reflectors, there's no feasible way you can apply knowledge of physics to something like this.

Nah. Upside down drawing is to teach yourself to draw what you're actually looking at instead of the icon in your mind of what you think you're looking at.

There’s two methods to getting good at poses, you draw tons of different poses or draw the same pose but from different angles. You should try incorporating both loomis and pin2d and see what sticks. A lot of /beg/ think jumping right to anatomy is a great idea but if you don’t want to feel like shit for the whole learning process you gotta start figure drawing first.

I have a medium wacom non-display tablet and I use SAI v2

What are some technical things in this setup that I should learn to do or avoid doing? Like how do I know when to draw things zoomed in, and when to draw things zoomed out? If I stay zoomed in for too long I start drawing things in a weird perspective. But if I stay zoomed out I dont draw that great. I also dont consistently draw at the same size. A make my canvas super huge but I often times have to resize my layer a few times as I go along.

The NGMI starter pack right here.
It's this kind of attitude that will hold you back and make you never improve. I knew a guy like this back in HS, tried to help him understand some fundies like construction (though back then I had a poor grasp of it) and he did the exact same fucking "muh style" thing you just did. He never got any better at drawing. And the funniest fucking part of this is that I barely ever did "realism" or did life drawing, because I was a retard, yet I was still better than him back then and have only improved since.

Fundamental skills are what really matters. "Muh reelism" has nothing to do with it. Can you rotate that head and draw it from every angle from imagination, from above, from below? Or will the facial features shatter into a broken awkward mess if you try to move it away from that eye-level 3/4 angle? Could you foreshorten a limb, the torso? Draw a hand? Because I guarantee that what you're doing is merely copying symbols instead of understanding the structure underneath them. Feel free to try, and post the results. Prove me wrong.

The thing is you made a safe, easy clean drawing that did nothing to help you learn or show your limitations. Then you came here expecting to get praise because you were proud of your pretty anime drawing. I understand, I get it. But superfluous praise and criticism will get you nowhere. If you want asspats, go to deviantart, but do not expect them here.

I can rotate some things in 3D with minimal reference. Mostly parts of the body I have a sexual interest in. So I have a workable 3d model of in my head of these parts of human geometry. But when I try to draw anything more dynamic than stiff poses I feel my brain melting. Especially if perspective gets involved and especially if I try drawing two characters interacting.

Yeah think of it as two speheres in the head and they're one sphere size apart from each other. The middle of the sphere lines up with the ear as well as the spot where the back of the skull meets the neck muscles.

Try some skull studies and then try placing eyeballs in them like that to understand. They won't be perfect spheres when they're squished into an eye socket but you can kind of fudge that part just to learn the placement.

If you don't know any perspective I'd recommend at least learning to place cubes, spheres, cylinders and pyramids in 1-point and 2-point perspective so you're at least a little familiar with that shit.

Gesture is really hard for me. Not on a technical level. Which it still is. But the hardest part about gesture drawing is that it knocks me on my ass and humbles me. I draw the same stiff look anime character in the same few stiff poses over and over. But they look nice to me. When I try gesture drawing in a pose Ive never drawn I draw like I did on day 1 and it just hurts me on a deep emotional level

[Anonymous No.4604516]

>>4604498
Do you remember the section about "looking, holding, drawing a line"? If you feel you have the look hold draw concept down well enough to remember to do it, then you can move on. If you don't feel you understand it well enough, or you realize you didn't do much look/hold/draw process at all in your drawing, do the exercise again until you get the feel of it.

[Anonymous No.4604529]

>>4604513
I understand that. Gesture felt that way to me at first as well. Some days when I'm doing my first few poses in a set it's all shitty and awful. Other days I nail the first ones but start fucking them up by losing focus or getting distracted when the time increases. I've been doing this as a warm up every day for years and I still fuck up poses here and there.

You've just got to accept that gestures aren't meant to be pretty finished drawings, they're meant for you to quickly find the line of action and scribble out the limbs and masses of the body as fast as possible. Gesture is for teaching you how to convey motion, weight, and balance in the pose. It's for practicing the proportions and flow of the forms of the body as well, how every curve has a counter-balance and the way they flow into each other.

Don't get discouraged and stop doing it because it looks shitty. Keep going, because if you have the tendency to draw the same few stiff poses over and over, that's going to hurt you more than the humbling feeling from gesture drawing will in the long run. You will see improvement in your gestures if you work at it. You aren't going to get much out of the same stuff poses forever, though. Some day you're going to have to break away from it, and it's better to do it sooner rather than later.

TLDR gesture is your friend not your enemy, no matter how shitty it looks it's ok, you will improve with practice.

No. The goal is to draw the head like a ball, and the facial features like you're sticking little lumps of clay on it. You're drawing the head as a flat circle instead of a ball. Real helpful advice, I know.

Draw with a thinner line, and practice drawing lines on balls that make them look round. You'll get a feel for it soon enough, it's just one of those things that require you to fiddle and experiment a little to understand.

There's no real fixing to that, you gotta consider it the first sketch and now re-do it without copying.
That's why it feels stiff and empty, because you were copying the model as cleanly and accurately as possible.

With that done, now I'd do something like this red drawing, drawing loosely and mildly referencing the original pic but notice how the arms are different - because now I'm applying what I know about drawing to make something I think looks better (also the arms in that picture look really long to me, so I'd be using my own "anatomy knowledge" to correct it).
In your place I'd also be open to changing the pose a bit so it flows better.

My other complaint is the composition. The reason I didn't notice the back of the snake is because the head is so massive. Give that poor thing some breathing room.

Learn to draw first. Style is bending reality, and you need to understand how to draw reality before you can bend it.

You cannot change what you don't understand.

Seems like people go around and gang-rape the really absolute beg stuff and kinda leave everything else relatively alone. If you're int though they'll let you know also.

[Anonymous No.4605112]

Here's why.
The problem with drawing a chair from reference is that you have an image in your head of what a chair looks like, which might interfere with your goal of drawing the chair. We often call those icons. You don't want to draw an icon of the chair, you want to draw what the actual chair looks like.

To counter this, you can draw the chair upside down. You don't see a lot of upside down chairs, so your brain can't skip to the image of the chair in your head, which forces you to draw the shape you're actually seeing.
Another common way to practice this is negative space drawing. You draw everything in the reference except the chair, and if you did it right, the end result will have a perfect silhouette of a chair. If it's crooked, you messed up.

I tried copying this but I couldn't really get the proportions right. I just tried following the contours, but without taking any measures. Then I drew a cross in the middle of the face and I tried getting more accurate measurements with a ruler and the tip of the pen, and this time at least it resembles the reference, what's the right approach for copying? should I try to use an aid like drawing a few lines on the reference and then make precise measurements with the pen or the ruler? or should I work more on drawing the contours accurately only from what I see? I don't really know if I should try to draw as accurately as possible. I'm worried that I'm not or actively concentrating on the drawing if I use too many measurements, and I end up not really learning anything.

Draw lighter lines. Start with whispy ones and only darken once you're sure.

[Anonymous No.4605129]

[Anonymous No.4605147]

>>4605129
You can see it's lighter than in the picture right?
You should try lightly sketching the proportions out first instead of just starting at one point and building out from there. That messes up the proportions.

[Anonymous No.4605190]

>>4605147
yeah, I know it looks much lighter, but I think it’s because of the lighting in the pic I took, on paper it looks darker. what I meant to ask was if there’s not enough contrast between the values. but I guess I should practice copying the shapes right before I get into shading.

Both value and proportion are important. The contrast seems too low.

Lighting makes sense now, much better, but the composition still need work. Gimme a sec, gonna fuck with it.

[Anonymous No.4605294]

I'm not sure what's up with it coming out of a cloud, but the tangent between the cloud and its jaw is very awkward. The position of the snake's head is still rather claustrophobic as well.
The body of the snake is a good way to help create depth, and the fins/spines also help with the illusion because repeated objects getting smaller is a very effective way to trick the mind into seeing depth.

I kinda want him emerging from the clouds, so I'll probably have some cloud wisps and stuff coming out of his mouth. Originally I was just doing a painting of clouds, but I thought that was kinda boring so I put the serpent in. I totally agree the composition is cramped and the lighting was off. I'll send some more progress tomorrow.

I was gonna suggest that, lol. You're good, keep at it.

[Anonymous No.4605454]

been drawing for a while now, and I'm trying to understand the technical aspect of digital painting as in how to set up painting layers, when to change brush size and for what, what kind of brush to use when adding colors (airbrush, watercolor, blend tool, blur tool?) stuff like that. I'm using CSP, and I don't know how else to frame this question, I'm sure there is a better way. I haven't really found much, most of the stuff I find talks about how to think about the painting lighting wise and form wise and stuff like that. Can anyone throw me a bone here?

Here's what I've managed to get done as of this morning. I added some clouds coming from his mouth and repeated the fins in the background as well as giving the composition a little more breathing room.
