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 Drawthread with our fundamental exercises.

Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make someone proud, Make yourself proud, you can make it if you believe in yourself.

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 picresize.com

There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:

TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND 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.

I don't know a lot about construction since I shy away from it and I tried this pose, naturally this one was a failure but it was fun. I want to improve so what do I need?

>it was fun
That's the second-best thing to get out of a failure. The first is experience.

Construction is a must, but I'd also say anatomical proportions is something you should learn.

[Anonymous No.4933205]

>>4933201
I can see some mistakes now, I did gesture before construction but I have to actually get a proper idea of it, I'll go with Vilppu once I get a grasp of 3d. I forgot to link the boxes with a spine and as such I missed that the upper chest one should be more angled towards the viewer, a complete lack of anatomy and yeah, that's it
Thanks for the reply anon

posted last thread, but nobody said anything.
what can i improve?

[Anonymous No.4933223]

>>4933217
The pizza, certainly.

I think the biggest problem I can immediately see is the torso: If we follow the spine from the neck down to where it ends before the table cuts it off, it looks like she's sitting on her coccyx. She should be leaning over more. In fact, from that pose, I'd say she should be leaning on the table, in which case she should be hunched over. Also, her arms look a little short.

A good rule of thumb is to do (to the best of your ability) the pose your drawing. If it's uncomfortable, or feels unnatural, you've drawn it wrong.

Good face though.

How do I get out of /beg/ land? Pic related I kind of gave up on the face and made it bad

[Anonymous No.4933242]

>I'm a /beg/ but...

IMO Drawabox really feels like it should definitely be done before Loomis and Hampton in the sticky recommended list, even if you want to draw humans. Or do them side by side. I'm currently doing the plant exercises and this shit helps so much figuring out construction, especially since it starts with very basic forms and gradually rolls over to more complex stuff, and while Funsies With Pencil doesn't expect that much, Hampton assumes you can already work with construction.

Really helpful for direction and motivation as well due to proper lesson structure, instead of wandering in the dark wondering how the fuck you're going to draw your beautiful animu face when you can't even position those basic head shapes.

>>4933255
do a lighter construction layer first, if it gets too dark, just use your palm or lightly erase to fade it. if the new lines still suck, fade it and do it again.
if you started from literal zero, your lines and everything else are gonna be shit for a long while and that's just how it is.

Unfortunately you kinda have to do everything at once when you're starting out. Do 'keys to drawing' or 'drawing on the right side of the brain' to start. You can find PDFs of them both floating around so just pick your favorite. Once you've gotten through one of those two you'll be in a much better place to move into more specialized learning.

I would personally say you should learn perspective before learning to draw from observation. It can be tough if you have a bad problem with symbol drawing, but if you learn observational drawing before perspective, there's a real danger of learning to see things in a purely 2D way due to not understanding what you are seeing in a 3 dimensional sense.

[Anonymous No.4933929]

>>4933920
>it has to be done in one go
It doesn't. On the top bar you should be able to see options for new selection, add to selection, subtract from selection, and intersect with selection. Add and subtract until you get the outline looking how you want.

Your proportions are way off by I feel like you’re hiding behind it as style when it’s a lack of fundie knowledge.

Is this exercise supposed to be done with a ruler? For some reason I assumed you're also supposed to do those lines freehand which really turned me off from them, makes it incredibly challenging.

Since I'm practicing digitally doing it with the line too felt like cheating but maybe it's just more about understanding perspective itself (pic related is me connecting the dots with the line tool but I've also tried doing the lines freehand)

[Anonymous No.4934229]

Probably not the best place to ask this, but I'll ask anyway. When it comes to developing the core technical skills needed to draw, is it detrimental trying to maintain and develop a style alongside it?

To maintain that leg position her torso would be angled more to the left. Try doing this pose yourself if you don't believe me. Even with your arm behind you can't put all your weight on your legs like that.

Agreed with the torso. Need to practice how materials fold. I like how you put effort in the hands, most begs don't do it. However I need you to lift up your left hand and put your pinky in the same pose as the pinky on her left hand.

Why is this the case?

It's controversial because people find it intimidating.
Personally I don't recommend doing it before you learn the basics of perspective, but it has good exercises.

i assume because it's largely plagiarized from peter han's dynamic sketching, but i personally found drawabox a lot more intuitive and digestible than dynamic sketching.

I'm a total beginner who's been doing some of it.

From what I've heard its very derivative of other courses and the guy himself is kind of a hack comparatively, also a lot of dubious stuff like "you need to use these pens from my amazon affiliate link".
That said I think the way it's set up and presented is very beginner friendly, the very first few pages are already incredibly helpful (quick strokes making for better lines, how to position your arm better, rotating your canvas in order to adapt it to your preferred arm motion etc. all basics that some people fail to mention).

Go into it with the mindset of taking from it what you need, don't treat it as gospel and don't be afraid of dropping it for something else.

It basically assumes you have none. Doesn't mean it's gonna be easy but it's definitely good if you need guidance for starting out. Though again, I'm just saying this as a beginner myself who delved into artbooks only to feel like they all assume I can already draw. Drawabox feels like a good "babbys first".

You should not concern yourself with the skill level of your teacher, the information is good or it isn't. Waiting until you can find a teacher who is a master themself will just keep you in a rut forever. The best teachers are seldom the best artists.

dab opens with so much dull drudgery that it makes a poor starting point. there's good exercises to incorporate into your practice, but i think dab(or han) is likely to burn through somebody's initial motivation before he can develop a longer term habit of practicing, that's how it worked for me anyway.
with fwap, just by accident you can make a blook look "Ok", and even if it's a fluke it's still good motivation and sets an attainable short term goal to aim for.
with dab, an accidentally flawless ellipse is still just a fucking ellipse.

whats happening here is that you dont understand forms in 3d, this might seem boring to hear, but you need to go study some perspective.

It doesn't matter what you start with, drawing is drawing.
The only legitimate reason to start with paper is because one pencil and one sketchbook is a lot cheaper than a tablet, but there are ways to try out a tablet before you get one so you can see if it's something you'd like, and the tablet will be much, much cheaper in the long run.

Question: when you draw how conscious of measurements/proportions are you, and how do you keep things from looking wonky when it comes to drawings faces and heads? I've noticed when I draw I have the trouble of one eye being higher than the other, wrong nose or mouth width/length/etc. or turned wrong. Just things being off-kilter. How do you correct this? Do you eventually get a feel for it where you do it wrong enough times and eventually you subconsciously start doing it better?

These landmarks are really helpful for helping you navigate the figure, and they can do a lot to indicate the position of the torso in a way that allows you to use fewer strokes (and, eventually, without the use of the full rib cage and pelvic spheres).

2. Eventually you're going to want to work on line quality as an indication of anatomy - the most prominent example is using harder lines in areas that are bony or tendonous, and softer lines in softer areas of muscular or fat mass.

3.Really exaggerate the relationship between the pinch and stretch sides of the torso - you did a great job on the upper rightmost example, but the others can be improved.

4. Be sure you're including a simple ovular head indication on your gestures - you don't have to go crazy but getting the head involved helps you with proportion and helps indicate the pose better.

You seem to be doing upper leg / lower leg as individual masses, rather than flowing gestural indications. This isn't necessarily wrong but it's best to not interrupt the flow of the gesture by having a line separate the upper and lower leg.

Do you have any of the references you used still available?

just a suggestion, pardner. my main critique is using more contrast.

[Anonymous No.4935979]

It's TOUGH at first, don't get discouraged. Focus most primarily on steps 1 and 2 (the masses) and don't try to get into 3 (planes) 4 (details) or 5 (the literal skull) until you feel more comfortable just doing the cranial / facial masses (the sphere / face combo you see in step 2).

>Also yeah, apparently there's a thing about drawing a billion boxes and it seems more like he's trying to force a meme rather than giving good advice

The thing about the 250 boxes exercise is that while the number is intimidating, a lot of people also tried to do it all in one shot/day when you don't have to. Like you don't even really have to follow his "Fine liner only" rule unless you're showing the exercises to him.

A lot of people also end up doing nothing but grinding DAB exercises when he says specifically not to do that in the beginning.

You are very much on the right track. Finesse will come with time but you're constructing, that's what matters.

How do I get linework like in Keys? When I do shading it never still has lines visible, and instead ends up a vague messy blob.

what do you mean by proportions? like the facial features or the size of the head?

I'm at the same point. Pretty sure it says somewhere, that the point of that exercise is just to get you thinking about how perspective works, without having to worry too much about being shit at freehand drawing.
The following exercises ease you into it step by step.

if you're trying to 'build up' it isn't going to have clean hatches, it's just going to be a gray mass.
