[Anonymous No.4765754]

>>4765753
ok i will

Loomis is helpful for drawing from imagination, but it will help you way more to draw from references and memorize what a skull/face is supposed to look like before you try drawing them from imagination. I think that the emphasis this place puts on loomis has held me back, and Ive made much bigger strides by learning to copy.

[Anonymous No.4765788]

loomis is a garbage

I drew this on an /i/ thread

[Anonymous No.4765819]

>>4765696
people are shitting on this but the steady improvement between the four drawings is noticeable and well done. this is literally how you're supposed to study, and is proof that it works.

[Anonymous No.4765885]

>>4765747
Loomis doesn't know how to draw skulls, seriously. Go to sketchfab and search for a skull.

[Anonymous No.4765942]

Any tips for quickly measuring proportions? Been trying out urban sketching these days and I kinda struggle to get the proportions right, mostly guessing the general distance between parts and using plumb and level lines. Don't want to look like a fool who measures stuff with his pencil either. Also, how the fuck do you draw trees

i gave up before i perfected it

[Anonymous No.4765968]

reference? Also there's no need to make a perfect replica, you can see direct improvement between pic 1 and 5. Good job fren

Proportions definitely improved, I would say concentrate on line first if you want to train capturing likenesses, getting heads right are hard enough without also juggling value.

[Anonymous No.4766062]

>>4765943
Don't worry about shading/values now. Focus on getting the proportions and construction right first.

Keep going this is kinda cool

yeah cuz he learned to trace

[Anonymous No.4766124]

>>4766123
If you looked at the picture for more than two seconds, you would have realized that it's not traced

[Anonymous No.4766157]

on the woman, 2-5 hours over 5-6 days.
I use to do this a lot more fell out of the habit.

[Anonymous No.4766161]

>>4766157
3-5 hours each*

[Anonymous No.4766331]

>>4765696
not sure why people are shitting on it when there's clear improvement each time. Isn't that how you're supposed to study when you draw?

[Anonymous No.4766348]

First one has the best Maxilla, second one has the best texture, fourth has the best zygomatic arch and last one has best teeth/jaw silhouette

[Anonymous No.4766352]

This is some great progress and I really dig the crab, the one thing that bugs me is the claws. The kinda give off a scorpion stinger vibe and could benefit from looking a more reference pics.

[Anonymous No.4766355]

>>4766189
There’s a clear improvement but the trouble is that the first one is the only one where she doesn’t have mismatched eyes.

[Anonymous No.4766434]

>>4765696
I think this thread is really good
and not even just for /beg/'s
You know, people have been saying
that this is how you improve, but it didn't
really click, but seeing it in action, its
really helpful! Thanks for showing me the

[Anonymous No.4767098]

>>4766355
Yeah I haven't really developed a system for measuring. I just kind of wing it. Do most people just draw a horizontal line?

Exactly my first thoughts

[Anonymous No.4767295]

>>4765943
Stop going for quantity and settle for quality. Its much better to do 2 good studies where you actually learn how to draw than do meme "100 x challenge" and have 100 half baked doodles.

On this particular one, look at the reference closely and measure your shit. Don't just assume you know how things look. Observe closely. Before you do rendering, you have to do a good linedrawing, so work on that.

I've been wanting to start working on a comic, so I guess this is a good time to try drawing some motion.

Not bad, I'd like to the the top of the kicking leg curved as well, like mirror the arch of the calf and round out the point of the knee.

Im still trying to understand guns, I never had one in my hands, so they are pretty alien to me. I'll keep practicing

Any tips welcome

[Anonymous No.4767850]

>>4767663
There's a game on steam called World of guns, it has super detailed 3d models of tons of guns, you can move the model, take them apart to see how they work, and pause an animation of them firing, so its perfect for gun references

[Anonymous No.4768028]

>>4767295
Sometimes for absolute begs quantity leads to quality, though. Mileage can't be overlooked. Though in this case it's def better he move on to another reference/basic fundamentals. It's pretty good progress still imo.
