You know what? Enough is enough, tihs is time I live my dream life. No more being afraid to be myself, to share things I like, I will put my art out there for the world, creative and imperfect, I will be brave enough to be me and do the things I like. I will please only myself and pay attention and love myself as a person and spread my creative energy and make people appreaciate nice things and be nice to each other. I believe i can have an impact on others.

Complex shapes are always going to be hard and even /pro/s won’t try to capture every contour of a tree and its leaves because it’s just too much and not worth the time/effort since your brain will fill in the details anyway when looking at a simplified picture that hints at the detail. You just have to practice simplifying complex shapes into simpler ones. It might help if you squint or unfocus your eyes and try to visualize the frame of the canvas around the object so you can see the large shapes and measure their proportions. Anyway don’t get discouraged. It’s something you have to experiment with and practice since there’s no one correct way to simplify and the way you end up simplifying things will be a part of your style. You can try looking at how other people do it for ideas but experimenting and trying something new each time is what’s important.

Thanks for pointing out the foot. I will admit I struggle with drawing shoes and feet in perspective. The knuckles is also a nice catch. I will defo keep that in mind for the next time. As for the cranium, I don't have much of an excuse. Their head is supposed to be tilted up but I think the shirt collar is drawn in the wrong perspective so it makes it look straight on POV :( Thanks again for the crit!

I study random shit when anon tells me but can't do something that i actually wanna get good at so i will just do this until i finish it.

Don’t do one fundamental at a time especially not for a year because they all build on each other and there are things you won’t understand until you learn more about a different fundamental.

I mean that is true but i mean does this depend on how fast i can finish ktd?
I don't know the average time it takes to finish ktd as a whole if let's say best case i can do maybe 2-3 exercises a day
I want to do this mainly because even i draw daily i have no direction and my goals are there but never stuck to them so i took this to finish a book for once as a beg and get myself in line for actual dedication towards goal
Yes i think too that if i draw a muscle or that part i struggle with 1000 times rather than thousand muscles that i'd get better but since i suffered from basic observational skills and will this should do for now

So I'm drawing a fantasy race sketch for my setting (taking a bit after Ryoko Kui's simple sketches in her Adventurer's Bible: https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Delicious-in-Dungeon-World-Guide-The-Adventurers-Bible-chapter-3.html))

Is there any way to get the four deltoids to look a bit less "cluttered"?

Also I wanted the horns to look like the fused horns of a black wildebeest but with a central horn in the middle, I think it looks a little off and more like a forehead plate than a horn.

For digitigrade legs as well, should the first leg joint be higher up? I think it looks a little low placing it at about human knee height.

Any other advice is welcome too.

At your level I'd suggest limiting yourself to a tool that doesn't make you worry about line weight. It keeps you honest and helps you focus on WHAT you're drawing, rather than HOW.

Have intelligence and self-awareness. Try to objectively analyze your work. Listen to critique to at least some degree. Have a desire to improve. Know your weaknesses and address them. This requires going out of your comfort zone as you will become more comfortable with what your are good at which can be a harmful feedback loop of stagnation. Be honest with yourself about what you need to work on. Learn from experts. Draw from life, from pictures, and from imagination. Whichever you do the least, do more, do all. Challenge yourself. Stay consistent. Like someone who has lifted weights/worked out for years, they will know their body’s limits and know when it is nearing overtraining. They know in that case, it will be best to lighten the weight/volume for a bit so the central nervous system, the body can recover. It’s important to practice discipline and push through times you don’t want to draw, but also important to not burn out and lose momentum. Keep your eye on the prize. Since improvement is its own reward, the prize is a perpetual direct result of the true work you put in. What a divine formula creation is.

good luck

Don’t draw without thinking or studying. If you have trouble drawing something go study and observe it. If you still have trouble with it after that you’re missing some sort of fundamental skill that would allow you to understand it on a deeper level and that’s when you should consider studying fundies. If you pyw people can probably tell you what to work on.

Honestly the biggest issue there at your level is her torso is completely squashed, like if you were to imagine or draw over it the ribcage and pelvis they are essentially overlapping, with no space for the stomach area. Even if you gonna draw anime/loli/chibi styles, it's worth to learn a bit about general body proportions and landmarks, and get that right first before adding color and detail.

what you need isn't figgies but the ability to sense simple geometrical shapes in perspective

Do you know why every artbook has you start off with drawing cylinders, boxes, ovals and that shit before moving on to more complex stuff? Because you gotta go back to that step after you fail drawing a figure and wonder what went wrong

How do you know when you should give up because drawing isn't for you? I love looking at amazing artwork and wish I could make my own and I'm always coming up with ideas of things I'd love to draw, but actually drawing makes me sick to my stomach and I just don't think my brain is wired correctly for it. Meanwhile, I write fiction and have my entire life, and I'm always immediately very fulfilled by it. I keep telling myself I should just stick to writing, but I've always wanted to be able to draw. Lately whenever I draw, it just turns into me quitting and ranting about it to myself, friends, or 4chan and telling myself I should just cut my losses and quit. But if I did quit, I'd 100% never be able to draw (even if it seems like that's gonna be the case anyway). I just don't know what to do. I'm getting tired of practicing Vilppu. Being able to (badly) draw naked people just depresses me. Seeing my shitty attempts at clothing them just makes me even more depressed, though.

I guess I just don't know when the drawing is supposed to be fun. The process isn't fun at all, it's tedious, and there's no reward for all the stress involved except a jumble of ugly, messy lines that vaguely resemble the human form. Why do you do this? There's no way you people genuinely enjoy shitting out monstrosity after monstrosity. Half the shit in this thread would embarrass me too much to even post, and this is an anonymous forum.

yeah didn't know how to position her eyes to make her look at the girl on the right, as for the neck i'd have to twist her whole upper body a bit to the side, which it'll probably take a lot, i need to catch my mistakes earlier on.

You unlock more gains with drawing not by how much time you put into it, but by whether you’re able to learn to see and think in new ways. There’s no way to convey it to another person because it’s like trying to describe color to the colorblind but all the different fundies and learning methods are trying to unlock your ability to see in new ways. First you learn to see accurately in 2D which I think KtD tries to teach you and then how to think in 3D like this guy describes >>7125352 Perspective and construction methods are trying to teach you to think that way but it won’t make any sense at all until it does and you just have to try different approaches until you get it. Personally I had the same difficulties as the guy asking questions in the pic and finally understood it after doing the same thing as the guy answering the questions. The basic watered down perspective explanations didn’t make sense, I needed the full autistic explanation. People who learned by just drawing must have already been able to see in the right ways or were able to make realizations on their own.

Imo your jaw is too sharp and the cushy lids under her eyes look unnatural and in contrast to your reference pics. Also make sure the eye shape is actively implied. In your references they don’t use full outlines for the eyes but the whole shape is shown. In your drawing the shape ends at the lower eye. I think if you want those cushy shapes like the one under her eye, maybe the mouth would be a good place, but it’s up to you. A lot of “cuteness” is centered in the eyes and a feminine head shape, so try putting emphasis on those.

Reading can be helpful for understanding how things work in a more logical sense to apply it to a drawing (for example Steve Huston saying the shoulders were like a pair of shoulder pads helped me understand them better). but for the most part, doing the actual drawing itself is where you’ll improve, so draw things that you like, and draw them a lot.

Look at the proportions on the ref head and face, his is actually closer than yours. Having an overly large face is considered unattractive so if you want big eyes they need to be big relative to the other face parts but everything should still be somewhat small relative to the head. Just measure it out on your ref and you’ll see.

So to speak, I sort of have more or less an idea of what to do.
Do sketching to gain line control and overall drawing confidence by doing dynamic sketching.
Using the gained experience, practice other 3D forms, including organic forms and shapes, utilizing them in construction.
In parallel, study the perspective to correctly put the constructed forms in space.
Using the knowledge from construction and perspective, start studying anatomy.
And after that only I hope to git gud with painting (rendering), color and light, stylization, etc.
That's sort of what I have in my mind.

Do you just post time-lapses without saying anything or do you try to keep viewers interested with random bullshit, clickbait thumbnails and sleight of hand tricks ?

Most people won't watch a speed paint even if you're god-tier but I see dudes who aren't that great do just fine with "1$ vs 1200$ gesso challenge ( ft. my girlfriend)" videos

Is it possible to make a girl look black without giving her
A) stereotypical ugly black features
C) curly hair

>> No.7126455

>>7126447
no you can't make a girl look black without actually making her look black, many have tried but i'm afraid you do just have to draw them as ugly as they really are

>> No.7126463

That's it, tomorrow is finally the day i draw. It wasn't the right moment for a long while but that's behind me now.
Tomorrow i'll spend the entire day drawing until i see a semblance of an improvement.

Of course that's also what i said yesterday and the day earlier but who am i to prophetize what'll come in the near future.

sorry then it's impossible, there are no blacks in anime
but seriously, look at some photos of how black women look, identify their defining features compared to your average yt woman and then try to stylize those features to your style
unless you're copying someone else's style you HAVE to look to real life references even when drawing animu
we can't tell you exactly what to draw where because we don't know your style and it's limitations so you have to figure it out for yourself

Thank you. Im not very good at giving advice, I kinda just go off vibes.

But I made this. I guess the main thing is to get loose shapes down to work out how everything fits together. And keeps things curved.
