Can I learn how to draw people by copying other people work (assuming I know construction, form, perspective, etc. Still learning anatomy and gesture and though this might be a decent way to learn)

[Anonymous No.5035572]

>>5035557
I drew some weird shit early today, but next time ill stick to normal humans drawings and not shortstacks
Im hoping that over time I can get my copies to be more precise. I know the top ones breasts are too small and the torso is angled differently then in the ref.
I watched the gesture drawing demo by Vlippu and tried to replicate the "feeling the form 3 hand gesture" thing he talked about but I think I need to lower the brush opacity or it just looks like chicken scratch.
Like I said im hoping with mileage it'll improve. I still suck for sure

You need to find soulful art and study it. And also compare it with soulless art. What does the former does right and latter wrong?
Soulful art provokes emotions. Think about what emotion you want viewer to feel. Sadness, nostalgia, cozy feelings, etc. Find art which gives you these emotions. Study why it gives them to you - color scheme, character poses/emotions, overall atmosphere/themes.
Just don't make art without purpose. Drawing yet another girl sitting on a bench doing nothing is soulless. Drawing a girl sitting at a train station anxiously looking at the clock as if waiting for someone who might not arrive - that can become soulful if executed good enough.

if you study real anatomically correct drawings yeah, stylized pics like the one you posted will make you draw in that same style, also it's gonna be hard to understand the complex stuff like how muscles morf and joints work assuming you go that route of learning. Your method is not that bad but in case you want to learn anatomy or just the pics you posted you need to go deep in the forms so you don't let anything to your imagination because when you simplify the forms too much your brain will fill the small details with symbol drawing, i know that's not a finished drawing but just wanted to metion it here's an example, but i think you are ready just be more uhhh detailed in your studies

how do you draw with your shoulder on a horizontal surface? on a vertical one you can rotate your arm up down left and right, but for paper on a horizontal surface the shoulder can only rotate left and right. if i move my shoulder forwards and backwards it doesn't move forwards nearly enough to draw a vertical line across the whole page without using the elbow. so when you're drawing with your shoulder are you only supposed to do it horizontally, or do i not know how to use my body?

>will a better tablet help with more confident lines? i'm upgrading from a 6 inch tablet to a 12 inch

It will help, but make sure you also use correct posture and hold the pen correctly. Draw quickly, but don't rush yourself faster than you can percieve your reference. Line exercises and even tracing will also help build your confidence. Keep some steady exercises for 3 months or so and you won't need chicken scratch anymore.

Also, excellent self-critiquing. Heads are hard as hell to get right, and you're getting close to nailing most of the shapes despite the messy linework.

[Anonymous No.5035998]

>>5035873
>>5035986
Chicken scratching is very distinct; drawing a stroke that represents a plane in multiple shorter strokes instead of one longer one. Restating lines is NOT chicken scratching. The only way to get more confident lines in their case is to become more confident in their forms, aka literally just mileage.

MY BROTHERS,
TONIGHT WE KINO IN HELL

[Anonymous No.5036033]

So lets say I have a basic grasp of the fundies, and I've finally gotten good enough to study anatomy.
But, my end "goal" would be to say, draw cartoons/coomart/anime/fanart etc etc (Anything not realistic)
How deep should I go into my anatomical studies of realistic anatomy? Whats the point that I say "I dont need to go this far"? Or is there no such point and I just do full realism till I "get it" and then stylize.

[Anonymous No.5036039]

>>5036033
>"I dont need to go this far"?
why not? one of the best cartoon gags is when someone flimsy and lanky switches to hyper realistic muscle mode

[Anonymous No.5036042]

>>5036033
I'd say you just need to learn a simplified skeleton & all the major muscle masses and where they attach on the skeleton. Knowing where subcutaneous fat accumulates is also good. Now that I say it, that's pretty much full on realism I guess. Just draw without worrying too much and further your anatomy studies whenever you feel it's necessary.

[Anonymous No.5036051]

>>5036039
>>5036042
Damn, guess theres no way around it
What are some good anatomy learning videos I can watch? I learn better from videos then books usually

[Anonymous No.5036055]

>>5036033
The later. Of course mix up studies with pieces of your own.
I'll say it though, we're not med students, get basic anatomy down but strictly anatomy isn't REALLY the important part... there's a certain "SOUL" you acquire when drawing realistic people (after you know the basics).
This guy here is an example of what to look forward. His realistic knowledge shows through his anime drawings because he absorbed many unconscious stuff like gravity and weight and clothing on a person and movement etc.. you acquire these when drawing realistically accurate people.
So yes, it's a "till you get it" thing and then you stylize.

>>5036012
I don't follow it 100% though, do a fun drawing like me every once in a while or you'll get bored of this.

I havent watched an anime in the last 8 years but seeing this guys work get posted all the time is tempting me, it looks really fluid and nice.

[Anonymous No.5036090]

I’ve been told to draw for fun along side practicing fundamentals, but where do I even start? if I don’t know any actual construction or anatomy should I just make Picasso symbol drawings or should I wing it and try to do construction and give my drawings volume without even knowing how to

[Anonymous No.5036091]

>>5036085
Well, that one is famous for its story, not for the animation. You do you and google "best for X genre" or "anime with great animation" and pick whatever you fancy, there's many great things in the medium, but I vouch for Mob Psycho 100 being a visual treat if you like this gif enough.
Don't expect an ultra mature story like Galactic Heroes though, but anime with the best animation will usually be battle anime like this.

I mean it's not one to one accurate but I think I got the feel of it (mine is the left of course). I worked too small, it turned out kind of blurry because I couldn't really get in to do the details. Also I should have used multiple layers, getting the gaps in the hair to look sharp would have been easy if I had.
Though really I don't know how helpful this kind of thing actually is. I think it helped me figure out this sort of rendering a little more I guess.

Hello /beg/
So I started drawing casually into lockdown. Only had fun with a pencil by loomis to read, so I started doing the exercises in there every other day.
I'm poor as fuck, so for christmas I might treat myself to some drawing pens or colour pencils if I have any sort of potential.
Would like some critique. Lockdown is lifted tommorow and I doubt we'll get it for a third time, so I just wondered if I had any sort of improvement from July.
Also, long time lurker, why is Loomis a meme? was a bit disappointed to find out the book I started using was an /ic/ meme for being bad.

You are doing super well my man. Progress comes slowly sometimes and sometimes it comes in bursts. Don't worry too much about about it since it comes naturally with mileage even if you yourself don't notice it.

From looking at your image it seems like you draw really small, maybe it's just the paper or something? Try to keep your heads something like 8 cm tall at least if you are doing a portrait. More room to work on so detail becomes easier to add.

I really like how the nose bridge shadows/lines disappears when you simplify the shapes. Try to keep this in mind when you draw the other features of the face too.

As someone else said, measure more when doing portraits.

[Anonymous No.5037692]

>i don't like being too anal about getting the exact perfect line
It's good you shouldn't be drawing like a engineer in my opinion. When i tell you to measure i don't mean with a ruler or something. Use your eyes to see the distance between features in relationship with each other, ignore the subject and try to see it as a 2d map. Don't just use one point of reference when measuring, use many. What's the distance between the nose and the eye, what's the distance between the nose and the cheek, what's the distance between the nose and the mouth. How long is the nose in comparison with, lets say the forehead, and so on.

It's harder to do this type of thing from real life then it is from a image but i personally believe that doing it from real life teaches you more.

Good luck friend

I'm pretty sure you're right, but It is god damn boring, if it is boring, why draw? I'm already having a lot of fun drawing, I guess because I see it as a hobby since I'm already well-payed. Who knows, maybe I will change my mind later since i'm ultrabeg and I started to seriously draw since two weeks. Have a good day sirs.

I'm glad I did this. I liked the way it turned out
Was a lot of fun drawing.
Do people normally ask for critiques at my stage? I'm unsure. is there something I should focus on in later exercises?

People here are 99% /beg/ and they are specialized in drawing pussy. You won't get any useful crit from them anyway. Better post at the redline thread.

Trying to work on better shapes

[Anonymous No.5038176]

Is this how I study anatomy? Why is it so hard for me the feel the forms? Especially on the chest, I feel like Im struggling like crazy. Should I put in the extra work and get shadows in to feel the forms better?

Have you done figure drawing and looked into how to represent forms?

[Anonymous No.5038267]

>>5038250
Im in the same boat as you. Take this with a grain a salt.
What ive gathered from books and articles, the first thing to learn is to not symbol draw. Symbol drawing being drawing lips like this : )
Theres a sticky that goes over this much better than I can

ellipses? If you mean drawing it then I just squash a circle then redraw on top
if you mean placement, then I do the square plane method explained one of the videos from this series https://youtu.be/AXn979hRyIs
tho iirc it doesn't tell you that the ellipse not only has to meet all 4 sides of the plane but the longest diameter has to be perpendicular to the axle

Sorry, haven't got anything that specific.
You could try researching by yourself or just draw until you get it right.
Think line economy and line-weight.
Start by making borders slightly thicker than the rest and then experiment at your leisure.
Avoid shading/hatching until you're sure and confident of what you're about to do.
Avoid going wild with the pen and rushing anything.
Such work as anon's could be considered a good sketch but it has value only to the artist since he knows what he "meant".
pic related is somewhat of an example
try to look for works that resemble your drawings and reverse engineer them, you'll learn better.
