I’m a retard can someone explain perspective to me

Like I get how it applies to boxes, you can draw them in one point perspective, two point perspective, and three point perspective, but how do you do perspective when you draw more complex shapes like a person? A person doesn't just have 4 edges and it fucks up my brain to think about it

I finished this thing. Thanks to the anon who helped me a bunch. How'd I do?

I think im getting tired of doing such boring poses and camera angles(?). I want to start doing images with more interesting poses/angles/perspectives. Front view shot like this looks so boring compared to other work that I see. Anyone have advice on how to practice so I can develop these skills? Would it be more gesture drawing and perspective experiments?

do mostly practice with an "attempt" at a finished picture every now and then. dont get bogged down in trying to painstakingly work for weeks on the same picture, but dont practice in isolation from what you are going to apply your skill to either.

most of the inside strokes were me trying to find the landmarks that michael hampton describes after the gesture was put down. Unless you dont mean those ones around the chests and groins. This is another of the same warmup where I didn't try to do that. Is it still too many lines? Should the limbs be less defined? I do feel like I'm drawing the shape too much.

>>5047379
Okay so look at your drawing and ask yourself if your able to tell what the figure is doing, or how they're posed and if it has flow. Would you be able to build ontop of that to draw a completed figure? If so then it works for you. Personally it's not resonating with me and I would have a very hard time working with gesture drawn like that

I changed the leg because it was starting to bother me.

There's a lot more I could change but it's time to learn painting I think.

Lesson learnt though. Use gesture and anatomy refs at the sketching stage.

Would have saved me some hurt I think.

This one isn't too bad I think. It's a little harsh yes but that can work.

Also, Nathan Fowkes has some pretty good content on how to make more colorful images.

For example:

-Having a good variety of local colors
-Having a colored lightsource
-Secondary lightsources
-Making sure you have a temperature shift between light and shade
-Impressionnistic shading

definitely do both, but spend at least 50% of your time drawing for fun. if you focus exclusively on "getting better" you'll get burnt out because honestly, studies aren't any fun. we draw because it's fun, not to impress random people on the internet that probably hold deplorable views we don't respect.

still life is a meme, draw over your references and figure out how shit works. reference professional art, and never do photo references. take stills from video instead, especially when doing gestures in motion. preferably record your own videos, as you'll probably have a better feel of how to draw your own body. tracing is good for learning structure, just don't actually post it as if it was your own.
don't waste your time. you're not stupid, so don't do stupid shit like drawing loomis heads for 3 hours a day or whatever some jaded channer tells you

I did a paint by numbers for fun and to get familiar with painting a little bit but not feel too invested or stressed about ruining it. I just wanted to share it with someone. It was indeed fun and relaxing to do. I have some second hand materials that aren't cardboard to practice on now so I will try out an original painting soon.

Very nice. I think a nice way to break copier tendencies is to look at the figure for a minute or so and then try to draw it from memory. Look up to the reference only when you're completely stuck and have no idea what to next.

My today's practice (one of many). I recognized I tend to copy stuff from refs too much and don't feel the form or analyze the figures as I draw. So I'm trying to rely more on construction from shapes and remember Vilppu's teachings.

How do I build the mental stamina to engage more and try to perfect things further? Especially in a situation where what you're making isn't so well defined. When you're just winging shit without any reference or following any process, how do you figure out when it's 'done'?

For some context, I've been making surrealistic typically high symmetry monochrome stuff like pic related for a bit now, sort of as a therapeutic meme, and while I enjoy doing it I'm kinda struggling on figuring out how to improve or what I even want to do with it moving forward. Also any advice for aiding concentration with drawing, especially when extremely tired, would be welcome.

what i had in mind for the pose in the reference was that i wanted to draw miranda from wakfu dressed like aeon flux in her outfit from the mtv cartoon and i thought this was a good action pose. yesterday i sketched a pretty nice looking face from reference and i guess i overestimated my abilities. that always happens. i stumble into making something that looks half decent and want to make something more complicated and get a rude awakening that no, i in fact, still suck.

i will try some gesture stuff then. i remember there was a website i tried years ago that would show you a random picture and you could set a time that it would leave each pic up before moving to a new one.

>>5049630
save the line art as a separate file before coloring it if you're worried about ruining what you have. then you can always try again if you don't like what you made, or if you want to settle for the line art on it's own if you can't color it well enough for your liking.

The picture is too empty and not interesting, what i see is basically a weird face and some random lines around it. First of all you need to pick some proper subjects to portray, whether you're doing a realistic painting or minimal lineart doesn't matter. Secondly you need to add details and visual content to the drawing. Thirdly focus on improving your composition because composition is an important aspect of what you are doing.

i've spent 3 years and i still dont know how to perspective, i still dont know how to figure draw 100% of the time, and I still dont know how to colour the way I want to. I can't even mimic what I see, because everything turns out lopsided when I flip the canvas. Still can't do eyes, and still can't make anything that looks appealing.

This has been my rant. Thank you for listening, or for letting me scream into the silence.

Using colors that lean towards the original hue more

Also add more white(or select colors that are closer to the white side for digital) to your pallete when describing the partsb that are getting hit by the light source. Greys and blacks should be reserved for areas that enter into shadow, and even then you should still aim for color choices that lean more towards the original pigment of the color over colors that lean too much on grey/black when possible.

there are bad values and muddy colors
bad values means there is not enough contrast / distinction / clarity in your picture in terms of bright and dark areas
muddy colors is usually the result of incorrect or imprecise temperature shift
your pic looks muddy mostly because you are using dark earth colors (it looks literally like mud, which in this case is not bad but just an observation)

your values are not bad (when you zoom out, your picture is very clear!) but they could be more confident

your colors are not bad either (there is no "wrong" temperature shift) but it would be better if you added clear temperature shifts on top

keep going anon i believe in you :3

I started at the mouth and drew it step by step around the head, when I drew the eyes I realized there was no space for a nose so I stopped
I made another attempt before I started drinking and it was much worse
I posted it as an example of how bad it can get and how I don’t even know where to start with very beginner exercises

starting over with the upside down guy would be the ultime turd polishing, dont do that
if you notice a mistake that is going to fuck up the rest of the exercise, either correct it quickly and roughly, or just ignore it for the time being but remember it

since you are just starting out, drawing as much as possible and doing as many exercises (mindfully) as possible should be your goal. there are dozens of posters here who waste time and keep working on one picture or even one exercise for days. if you stop to think and correct every mistake you will stop progressing and demotivate you.

keep going until you understand whole categories of mistakes and what causes them and ultimately how to avoid them. dont spend half an hour guessing, erasing and redrawing the head right now. just move on. in the near future you will understand how to measure stuff visually, and after that fixing a mistake like that will be conscious and easy instead of frustrating guess work

look at it this way - you dont know how to draw, you dont even know how to learn to draw. assume your drawing sucks and so does your practice of drawing. try to get as much experience as quickly as possible by
>just drawing
so you avoid bad habits and wrong mindsets (see the regular threads about artists who draw for years with zero improvements)

that wasnt very clear i should elaborate

for example trying to make your practice pieces beautiful
or doing a finished picture (as finished as is reasonable for your skill) and start working (= guessing) on some part of the anatomy - while you should finish the picture as good as possible and afterwards study that part of anatomy
or thinking that copying a picture equals studying it
etc

a lot of pitfalls that you can avoid through experience and experimentation

aimless "practice" without proper structure will just lead to him learning mistakes. practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. if you spend 100 hours drawing things the wrong way, you won't automatically start drawing better. to learn, you need to look and analyse the fundamental shapes that make up the three-dimensional form you're trying to describe, but this guy can't even draw a straight line. "just draw" is useless advice for intermediates, much less a complete beginner.

>>5050005
do drawabox, at least lesson 0 and 1 so you get a grasp on how to actually put down marks. when you figure that out, don't worry about getting good yet. just have fun with it. draw stuff you find interesting. you'll probably fail but that's okay. literally the most important thing for a beginning artist is to learn how to have fun with drawing, because if you aren't having fun what's the point? don't draw to impress friends, family, internet strangers or even yourself. draw because you want to. then you can focus on getting good.

and don't grind art. you'll just become frustrated and demotivated and quit 3 weeks in.

Hey /beg/ so I've been a hobby artist ever since I started two years ago. I've done a good bit of anatomy studies in the past but I have mostly stuck to just using references for the past year or so, and I have gotten good at drawing what I see. Mostly I just draw my favorite anime characters for m own enjoyment and occasionally some yuri. I would like to get to the point of being able to draw them with more realistic faces though, real sexy shit.

About where would you say I'm at in terms of skill? What I'm doing well and what I am doing poorly. I'm in no rush to be a master but I would like some pointing in the right direction.

Some self critique, I think my anatomy is okay for what it is. I personally feel as though the torso area is where I am strongest in regards to anatomy, though I still need to represent it better. Shading and coloring I know I only have a basic understanding of, most of my knowledge in that area comes from looking at other artists and having those 'Oh shit! That's how you do it!' moments. One of my biggest disappointments with my skill right now is line quality for sure, I still have issues getting longer lines right and have to start and stop them constantly, which just makes them come out janky.

thanks /beg/

Your anatomy is not great, it is all over the place. Your shoulder is a little large, your head is also a little large for that body. Youre going to need to study the face more if you want to do a more realistic style. Just draw some real life references and you'll get better.

to get good at drawing the figure you need to draw the figure thousands of times. same with faces. set a time limit on your drawings and get that mileage, don't spend too long on any one drawing. I would say it's way more important to focus on building a good, gestural mannequin in the beginning before delving into the more complex anatomy. it's not going to look good without a good foundation anyway.

To be clear, some other anon that wasn’t me was shilling him the other day
But back to the question. I’ve been enjoying the course and I find it really digestible as a beginner opposed to watching material on YouTube which was my mistake doing. I used to watch a lot of proko and tried following his course but I’m not sure I was ready for it
I recommend Brent because I haven’t went through vilppu yet nor other teachers so I would never suggest learning material I haven’t even done yet.
That said you can probably pick up any figure drawing course and benefit from it if you don’t wanna do the Brent one

i did some of it, I just don't like his approach at all. I find construction way more approachable and fun is all. and I don't think accuracy is all that important, like you don't need to map out a centerline by landmarks, you can just eyeball it. If you did proko and that didn't click with you then fine, we all learn differently.

I don’t think mapping out the center line is for accuracy, it’s just to help visualize the largest part of the body before you start detailing the limbs more after basic gesture. He does say it’s perfectly fine to exaggerate some aspects of the body as well. I think proko is more about accuracy honestly. I’m not far from finishing this course and I’ll be going over things multiple times as I practice so I’ll see how it goes for me, I just figured that anon could benefit from some real human figure sketching to get a better idea for their anime characters

Your hands are very aesthetically pleasing but not totally accurate to the picture. I think the biggest problem that jumps out to me is in the bottom left one. A lot of the measurements are off. The hand is too short in general and the fingers are also too stubby. Without the reference image beside them though I wouldn't have much of a problem with them. I'm sure that there are people on here who would nitpick the shit out of them but drawing hands is notoriously difficult and these are great attempts.

Thanks, the next step in the course I’m following will be going over the gesture of the hands and how to draw them more quickly. So far I kinda have no idea on them aside from poorly drawing them every day on characters. Practicing putting arms on figures now and then hands. My goal is to have a better understanding on these by the end of December at least so I can start off 2021 nicely. When I get better at hands I’ll probably draw them slightly larger than usual for anime characters, same for feet. I kinda like that aesthetic for some reason

This is not chicken scratching. Going over your lines several times to find the right one is okay and what a lot of good artists do and recommend (Vilppu, Huston). Chicken scratching is when you are making one curve out of several strokes, which is bad.

I don't know if it's worth talking you out of it, seems you're crabbing yourself, but still worth a try...
4 months is not much. You can do things the wrong way and not progress in 4 months at all, because you were copying 2D form for example, not trying to feel the form. You can become a copier after tons of practice, but you'll be a shitty artist. Go watch Huston's "Beginning Figure Drawing" course. If that one doesn't change your perception on how to practice and if you still think about shit like "talent", you're NGMI and should probably do something else.
If you don't want to do art, don't do it. Don't make shitty excuses. Unless you have some brain damage or depth perception issues, you can do art with some practice. And don't compare your process to other people's - they can be lying and some people have been drawing for their entire lives (or just observing things carefully) and then only count days of "serious" practice.

This was supposed to be a Disney style horse.

No. The eyes are completely souless and there's no gesture/form. Find good Disney horse drawings and try to do it as close as possible to them without blindindly copying. Something like this - look at how gestural it is, and how much life the eyes of it have.

People posting their old stuff made me look back through my old drawings. When I made this I used MS paint exclusively as I had no tablet, just a touchscreen laptop. In paint there's no pen pressure anyway so it would look stylistic was my logic.
I remember thinking this was good at the time for some reason. I actually regressed quite a bit, my drawings from back when I was in high school and was doing observational drawings for class regularly were much better.

Don't forget about timed poses. You can do 5*1min + 5*2min + 2*5min in just 25 minutes, which I did here (>>5051341). That's 12 poses minutes! If you do it 3 times, you'll get 36 poses in 1.5 hours.

Don't focus on details/cleanup/shading too much, it's a waste of time when you're learning (unless you're trying to learn clean linework or detailed anatomy). Most of the mistakes are done in the first seconds/minutes.

Chicken scratching is when you take multiple strokes to draw a line that defines a plane when it should only take one. Restating lines is just drawing multiple strokes over each other to get the right shape, but otherwise each stroke individually can define the plane. Your stuff could be a bit cleaner, but for the most part it's not chicken scratching, no.

Did a quick study, maybe this will give you some ideas. But here's one important thing: get high quality screenshots or even better - find concept art/sketches to understand how the artist was thinking about the form. I couldn't figure out how the mouth worked from the low res, so it was pretty hard for me to get "ok".
>>5051525
Very nice, you're feeling the form.
>>5051532
No problem. I had the same problem as well. I think two things help: 1. "try out" the line before doing it - you'll visualize it pretty well if you move the arm around the curve you're about to draw. 2. draw very lightly at first and then draw over these lines by commiting to the best line - the line which were used to "find" the best line will fade away in comparison.

It's ProCreate on an iPad Pro. The program doesn't matter really until you're doing something really complex. What matters is that it feels "good" to draw and has good brushes (I especially need some pencil-like brushes for sketching. Drawing with hard/pen-like brushes for sketching is terrible. It's better to be able to make really light lines at sketching stage).
Don't forget that there are "sketch" and linework/cleanup stages which are done on a separate layer usually. Don't do clean linework until your sketch feels good.
Try to find the most simple forms at first. The head is a circle. The muzzle is a cylinder, etc. Don't commit to any lines before you figure out the basic structure.
