How do i make my mind think that doodling is still drawing? It literally feels like i skipped a day if i didn't make some digital piece that can be remotely called finished

How do i force myself to draw from reference
I don't care about copying it's just i'm so lazy i can't open a pinterest tab and search shit

I'm not even sure what to say about this.
Probably the best work I did so far yet it's still sort of shit.
But the occasional thick tapering line makes me think of Japanese art or that calligraphy or theirs, maybe I could develop the style in this direction.

proportions look solid, although the legs from the front seem a bit too rounded. Although I get that this was a probably a just proportion study

>>6149856
Looks good but I agree it needs more hard edges. You can use harder edges around to the focal point like the face to bring more attention to that area.

This was originally an anatomy study but I liked it and tried to turn it into something

Is it just me or is this book laid out terribly? The first plates are complex perspective methods with virtually no instruction, then it gives a short method on creating a framework for a figure, then it jumps right into bone anatomy. It might just be that this wasn't written for low iq 21th century audiences, but it's a bit intimidating and I'm not sure what exactly I'm supposed to be practicing from it. Do I copy from the book? Do I draw from imagination?

>>6150079
don't fret too much over gestures especially if you're really really at the beginnings, what makes a gesture "good' is an hazy concept, really hard to grasp even when you get better at drawing.
I think a better fundie to waste your time on would be either proportions or shape design.
the former is really easy to grasp, is what I'm doing as big as the reference?
the latter is as confusing as gesture drawing but at least you can pick it up copying other artists faster than gestures.
I know it sounds like a meme, but picking up good shapes goes a long long way

The problem is he's complained about his figures looking too manly. It takes a lot of nuance to draw an attractive muscle girl with out it looking like a tranny. Girls are more appealing when they have less defined features, less lines drawn makes someone look younger. Drawing a girl with terrible muscular insertions, such as the pic he chose, will only exasperate the problem for him.
Unless of course his aim is to draw hyper muscle girls.

Left is before, right is after. Also, does nipple placement matter much even if I try to face them outwards?

Yes, one of the best things you can learn is not to get too attached. Lately I'll do 4-5 sketches just to try out different variations. Deleting shit after I'm halfway through painting is also not uncommon. And finally, drop whatever you're doing the moment you realize you're polishing a turd, just redraw if you think the idea is worth it.

The head isnt angled right, but the most important thing is you're relying too much on the plotting method itself. spend more time observing your reference and simply try to copy it exactly instead of trying to fit it's features onto a model that doesn't fit.

they seem alright so far, just need to focus on the object more then what you are doing now.
The main thing you should be focusing on is proportion. Every one of your drawing seems lazy or drawn quickly, try to take your time and measure out some of the drawing. As for the books most of the beginner books teaches the same fundamentals so it shouldn't be a problem reading multiple of them around the same time

Construction legit clicked with me last night

It's especially useful when you are drawing things in unique perspectives as it allows you to rotate a body in 3D space

If you are copying a reference though construction is only gonna help you get proportions right - which if you are already decent with anatomy doesn't help too much - as you can otherwise quickly glance at the reference do a line of action and plot the base shapes instead

You don't need to use blocks for everything and blocks aren't mandatory. Blocks are a popular rec because perspective is very easy to read with blocks. Construction is supposed to be a scaffolding you use to minimize mistakes. If it's not helping you, then don't use it.

I think its pretty good, only thing is the arms blocks look they should be rotated a bit. Here arm look pronated to me to where there at a more profile/side angle, instead of a 3/4 angle.

Im personally not a fan of using blocks, they help with perspective but make things hard to visualize. I would maybe start a new layer and start drawing in body lines to see if you can visualize your drawing better.

yes. tits are fat. If you have an extremely small body fat percentage, you won't have tits.
any body builder you see with huge tits has implants.

I'm faaaar from being a pro but here's my take on it:
- Knees should be flared more, I tought he was just sitting on something on tought it looked fine but when I read it was supposed to be kneeling on a post, yeah then something looks off with the proportion of his tighs and their orientation. Look at Itachi's famous pose and how his knees are far away from each others.
- His torso is too straight. Like I said, it would look perfect he was just sitting on this telephone pole but when you kneel, your back is arched.

I'll make sure to do that don't know why I didn't think to do that before.
I still kind of get messed up when it says to "draw blind" since when I do that I just totally mess it up by overshooting or mangling up the lines, I also have a hard time trying to constantly remember the "look, hold and draw" technique while I'm drawing.
Will probably go over the chapter again and try to "slow down" since I definitely finish the projects a bit before before the targeted time (not by much but should probably stop that bad habit before it gets worse), might help if I have a timer or something.
Thank you for the help, will probably post here again once I've gone over it again.

First, >>6151819 is correct in that lines don't run parallel with the arms on a utility pole. They run perpendicular to the arms. Second my advice is to put him into more of a crouch rather than a squat. Finally, I would rework the wings to make them more birdlike. They look very much like generic angel wings right now. If nothing else, you can have the wings close around the front of the character like a cloak.

My studies and ref stuff always turn out better than my imagination, which I guess is going to be true for a long while, but my real issue is that I don't know how to finish pieces to make them attractive ie - lines/detailing etc and how to make stuff distinctive. My pieces end up looking like in pic related. It's a study which I did in the video. What direction should I take in order to get better finished quality stuff? What am I lacking?
