>le 30 days 30 x thread
Stop shitting up the board.

>>2780946

I didn't make the head post lol, ppl wanted this in the other thread

>>2780953
How are the legs not following perspective? All I see is her left leg bending away from the camera and effectively snapping the ankle

>>2780955

I was looking at my imagination work in general, the text is for myself

How about you not shit post for 30 days? Ever try that challenge?

>>2780946
This kind of thread actually made it better.

>>2780946
>>2780961
how is this shitposting? People are posting their work in these threads, what's the issue here?

>>2780962

Agreed

>>2780961
>>2780946

Are you retarded? How about you take yourself up on that challenge and stop shitposting in the handful of threads like this one that are actually productive and improve this board?

>>2780957
you're gonna make it dude, srsly this is how practice is done right

>>2780969

Hey if someone has to make a 30 day challenge thread to get you drawing for once then all the power to you.

>>2780916
How about 30 figures in 30 days?

Hell, if you go for figure drawing class, you can do about every 2 mins 1 figure.
60mins you get 30 figures.

Usually are nude class is about 2- 3 hours.

You have more than enough time plebs.

>>2780976
That's you projecting your own incompetence and lazyness on someone you know absolutely nothing about. If you're not trying to shitpost, can you please explain why you think activity and challenge threads on /ic/ are a bad thing?

>>2780977
the idea is not just mindlessly draw figures but to really dive into it and study the human body, learn how the body works in different poses and to understand the rythm.

Also after each figure you study you should replicate your study without looking at reference and then compare and add notes on where you fucked up.

>>2780977
For fuck's sake man. This thread is not telling you what you do with your entire day, it's about posting a figure drawing. No one is telling you that you can't do 30 2 minute warmup gestures each day before doing a full figure study. In life drawing classes you usually don't do more than 1, maybe 2 long poses either.

>an attempt is made to help anons get better at drawing by setting a simple goal
>thread immediately devolves into shitposting and arguing

>>2780989
>>2780985

LMAO you guys clearly do not know what live nude drawing class is about.

If you do not know what I am talking about. You never will.

Doing figure drawing is about capturing and understanding the shadow and light, especially if you do with charcoal.

30 in 60 mins is beginners level. You can do hundreds in 3 hour sessions.

I am just saying, you have pleb goals.
try 10 figure in 1 hours first if you are really this weak.
Drawing an hour a day.
Drawing life drawing.
Painting from life.

Stop looking at your fucking screen.

For digital artists, you will benefit from learning drawing from life drawing.

>>2780982
Not wasting my time with any of you. Too old for this shit now.

If that is a challenge, you need to fuck off from this board, you lazy faggot.

shut the fuck up

>>2781049
>no fun allowed

>>2781027
nice totally aesthethic and not unsettling to look at dog man
i can clearly see you took your inspiration from real life dogs

>>2781053
How is spamming retarded threads more fun than just drawing, you fucking nigger?

Post your super challenging 1 (one) figure/head in beg/draw thread based on level or... gee... I don't know... las/ded - the thread dedicated to posting every fucking day.

>>2781066
Why the fuck are you a butt blasted about this? How does it affect you in any way?

>>2781069
Are you literally retarded?

Don't answer, it was a rhetorical question.
Just fuck off.

>>2781071
Are you ok? Do you want to talk about it?

>>2781060
I don't like dogs and find them unappealing. I'm glad I managed to properly capture the essence of a dog as I perceive it.

>>2781069
who hurt you anon?

Gotta say though, love this new meme. Starting fresh for the 2017 fiscal year I see.

>>2781049
you are literally mentally challenged. Just hide the thread and leave already you insufferable cunt.

Never going to make it.

These threads are just lazy and shitposting and this point.

IF you really want to make a "challenge", do it in non-lazy form with proper description and for various skill levels.

Example:

1. Short introduction

The goal of the "challenge" is to make 10 full figure drawings in 30 days in a theme "Lazy summer lake skinny-dipping trip".

2. Rules

Every 3 days OP posts 3 descriptions of another figure to draw for the artist to choose from. He has 3 days to post:
- sketch
- drawing with layed out values
- finished drawing with tighter details (optionally: colored render)

3. Description of a scene

Here comes description of a place, lighting conditions (11:00, blue summer sky, no clouds), what is happening (group of young friends parked a car on secluded side of the lake, a pair is kissing outside, girl #1 changing inside a car, guy #2 and #3 are racing naked to the cliff to jump from, girl #4 is lazily stretching after the nap in a car, girl #5 carries umbrella, an elder pair is watching from the other side of a lake, grandma #6 is disgusted, grandpa #7 watches through binoculars etc.)

4. Suggested color palette and things to consider

Straightforward, like that lighting can be simplifed by making it from 1 direct source at the angle of X, that boys and girls should be tanned or have tan marks while older couple can be pale etc.

5. Additional challenge for the advanced d/ic/ks

Like drawing some background stuff, more difficult perspective for some figures (boys jumping from the cliff instead of being drawn 3/4 should be from slightly below view, worm's-eye view or in curvilinear perspective), more details on held objects (girl holding umbrella actually opens it) or clothing (elder pair actually has some clothes and fishing equipment), trying to draw multiple figures in 1 drawing etc.

6. Simplified challenge for the beginners

Talking head, feet running etc.

>>2781385
Nobody wants to be told EXACTLY what to do unless they are getting paid to do it. Stop being so fucking autistic.

>>2781385
lol

>>2781400

It's not exactly telling anyone anything, but giving at least some guidelines and limitations.

Limitations are good if you are doing art, that's also why lots of people practice in Drawthreads on other boards like /tg/. Telling someone "do another nude figure drawing of whatever for 30 days straight" is like saying to him to choke on a dick.

how is it shitposting if it's getting people to draw on a drawing board? because you don't like the words "30 days" or "challenge"?

these threads are more useful and productive than 90% of the typical threads on this board

at least, when these threads aren't being fought against like now

>>2781406

>if it's getting people to draw
>having to be pushed to draw by a no-name anon

Do I have to say it?

Where are everyone's figures?

>>2781437
too busy shitposting

>>2781385
tldr; finals are over, let me relax, i dont want to read for awhile

>>2781027
proko pls go and stay go

never change /ic/

>IC thinks arguing is a good way to improve art - never going to make it

>>2781025
Torso is pretty good. Center looks off, did you use reference?

A- imagination
B- artist ref (pascenko)
C - ref
D - imagination

d2 imagination

>>2781794
what's the aim when drawing from artist ref? are you mainly trying to capture proportions or design?

>>2782425

everything and anything that i don't know or understand

>>2782501
could you expand on that a bit? for instance, what was it about the ref in figure b that you didn't understand?

i find the idea of drawing from artist ref interesting, but i'm not quite grasping what the thought process behind it is.

>>2780916
>Leaped from figure drawing to anatomy
>Don't know a damn thing about the human figure because of this
>Don't know the real forms of the muscles, but know their placement

I've realized I've skipped all the fun parts of learning how to draw people by just studying from videos/books alone. I've gotten really good at drawing skeletons.

>>2782588
*gesture drawing

>>2781001

*Le Ugh* I want to shitpost, not draw.

>>2782508

i don't understand how to draw manly looking figures.thus pascenko is a good reference to compare my male imagination drawings.unfortunately I was dumb and didn't draw a male for A, but I have other drawings that i can use for Crit

this way i can feel the shapes and proportions he's using, and ask myself "why" what he's drawn works, compared to my shitty art.i can ask myself what doesnt work about my stuff... i personally draw male heads too big, waists too skinny, forms too soft, and have a shit knowledge of the muscles compared to pascenko

You can go deeper from there.why am i shit at those things? I study way females more,and i drew from anime instead of life.i also skimmed over many anatomy chapters.i don't observe men enough. Etc.etc.

>>2782713

from there, i can start fixing mistakes.you need self-awareness to fix mistakes,much like improving as an individual in life.any skillset is the same

.

>>2782713
>>2782716
thanks anon. it sounds like you've got a solid approach to thinking about the process of study, and i really appreciate you taking the time to explain it.

>>2781049
