not that guy, but what ref are you looking at that has the ear attached to the bottom jaw?

>>4110625
>>4110677
Fuck dude, don't make me go out and buy markers. I already know it's not going to work out as well as this for me.

>>4110706

>>4110711
Well, you really only need 3 colors + a highlight. I bought the cheapest ones i could find because i didn’t want to burn through my copics

Light gray, light blue, dark blue, orange

best one from yesterdays lifedrawing

>>4109292
And his picture was posted in the last thread

>>4110706
A-anon, that's how ears always are...

odd tree

>>4110827
how can you derive pleasure from drawing such post-wall bodies

>>4110706
where else would they be attached ..
anon please respond

>>4110910
Sounds like doesn't know what he's talking about, your technique is already good so far, if your trying for more realistic style in the future I would just have a subject where you take more time to be able to sketch out the finer details.

I need to draw more often

>>4110870
Because they're mature, and have self control, and don't have to grab their dick every time they see a breast?

>>4111086
Sir, did you just assume he grabs dicks? Let alone his own dick?

>>4111123
Someone complaining about drawing a "post wall" body? They're entirely invested in masturbation. Don't even front, this is 4chan.
An artist sees shapes, light, texture. Doesn't matter if it's "post wall" or not.
An arrested development anon who's stuck at 13 only sees "fap, or not?"

>>4111130

artist creates things from imagination

>>4111140
Irrelevant to what I was talking about. Feel free to troll someone else, thanks.

Whats a good little sketchbook to get? One small enough to fit in a pocket or small bad.

>>4111548
*bag

>>4111548
Depends on what you want to do. For pen work pretty much everything will do, watercolour is best on very strong paper, and for soft pencils or charcoal you should go for something with a proper spine so it doesn't smear as much. It's not really that important though, just try it out.

>>4112008

>>4112010

Do you guys keep your sketchbooks clean and good-looking? I see some pictures every now and then that look like full pieces.

I doodle and scribble, test and grind down my pencil on it, draw titties all over the place, whatever, whenever I feel like it.

>>4112013

>>4112016
Aaaand thats it

>>4112015
Mine is relatively messy - I do quick marker checks all over the pages, and I cram multiple drawings on a page.

If I am doing something I’m really excited about, I’ll start a new page, but I like the organic thought process of random drawings on the page. When you look back through the pages it’s fun to remember what you were thinking about.

>>4112015
My sketchbook is messy and a hodgepodge of drawings varying from a 30 sec doodles to more meticulous stuff. I don't care what people see in my sketchbook other than a look into my process and my drawing ability, but some people want to really wow whoever looks through it, so they spend much, much more time making a finished illustration on every spread, creating more of an artbook than a sketchbook. Don't feel bad if your sketchbook looks like a sketchbook and not a ready-for-print art book, sketchbooks are meant for experimenting and practice, not a one-shot portfolio. Let tryhards be tryhards and just do what you feel is best for your practice.

>>4112042
I never show anyone my sketchbook, its full of anime tiddies and ahegao faces

>>4112015
No. Being messy and seeing what sticks is the whole fun of a sktechbook imo.

>>4110623
This. I don't know why, but the sketchbook threads have this comfy vibes to them.

Also I like your stuff a lot, your interpretations on the style threads are usually amongst my favorites. Keep it up!

>>4110864
>>4110910
>>4111015
so its more that the vertical bit of bottom jaw is missing that makes the ear look like its sinking off the face. i know its just a sketch and who gives shit, but i cant be the only one that sees this, right?

>>4112174
thats my drawing check the vertical angles of the outside of the cheek and jaw lines. i drew mine with the chin/head tucked down compared to the refs.

>>4110803
>>4112090
Thanks!

>>4112174
>>4113603
i dont think that the measurements are imporant at all here cause it's clearly that it's all symbol-drawn, flat and not 3D

>>4113654
lol

>>4113639
Seems like this should have been obvious... but i guess i should have made another pass over the marker sketches with pen...

I will explore more next week

>>4109008
little sketches from life--my brididees. critique welcome
(sorry about writing, lighting, quality, etc.)

I quickly did the skull kid study while leaving for a weekend trip - I can’t wait to go home next week and draw more

Shit from imagination

>>4110803
thank you

>>4114590
I like it.

>>4114338
I still like it.

Drew this during a phone call. Not spectacular, but I'm branching. Barely.

>>4114865
Thanks mang

I heard that most people like to customize the cover of their sketchbook as well. Do you guys do that?

this is awesome.
Would you ever let a poet use it for a book cover?

here's my website, its NSFW
www.heavyathletics.us

>>4117436
It looks pretty good imo.

In pic related I brought the features closer and aligned them a little bit. Hope you're ok with me editing it, I thought that maybe you could consider it useful.

>>4117439
>www.heavyathletics.us
Anywhere where I can reach you directly?

>>4117541
Yeah the faces are often misaligned 'cause I draw too small, these are like 4in tall
It's a bummer when you ink a small comic panel and you mess up an eye because the lightbox isn't clear enough and you miss the line by 0.2 mm
(also I'm bad)

>>4117602
More from today

>>4114590
Here's more from imagination.

>>4114958
I'm jelly as fuck

I hope this belongs here, it was done in my sketchbook so :0

>>4117662
>>4114590
I like it. Especially how easy it is to see/feel the forms of the shapes. The shapes themselves are very fun as well.

Do you find you lose some of that when you render/colour?

>>4117743
Thanks anon, and yeah definitely, especially when doing line art.

>>4117762
That's a shame. Does it ever stop you from progressing

My first sketchbook.
waiting for my inking pens to come in the mail.

/beg/ is ignoring me again.
>>4118049
done with no ref

>>4118119
use ref then, it'll be easier to critique if that's what you want

>>4118141
well how does it look as is lol?

>>4118169
An honest critique is that it is a bit messy, which could come down to that you need to be more confident when you lay down your lines. Try and imagine what you want it to look like in your head and think every time you put the pencil on paper. If you need a cleaner way to shade and make forms in your drawing try to learn things like hatching. Keep up the hard work, you've got a decent idea on anatomy if this was from imagination, you've just got to be more precise and confident clear with your lines. You've probably been told this, but reading the sticky does have a few really good traditional resources.

>>4117684
Thanks anon! Put the work in and gains will come. Here’s the finished (?) painting, l wish oil was as simple as pencil.

>>4118119
The proportions are good but you have to learn the planes of the face better

>>4117439
>>4115411
>>4117556

You alive man?

>>4118178
Oils can be a pain

you should work more on the forms, something got lost from the pencil sketch to the finished piece

>>4117875
how do you shape the pencil tip to get shapes that thick? i'm assuming it's just one of em normal reddich sketch pencils

some pen doodles

>>4118995
It's obviously charcoal or a dry pastel stick.

>>4119566
>>4119565
loving the stroke economy. cool stuff.

>>4119576
Appreciate it man! It's honestly one of my favorite excercises. To be deliberate with strokes in an unforgiving medium such as ink or watercolor. I go through dozens of pages of sketchpads with only a couple that work out, but that's the beauty in my eyes. To make them look as skillful and effortless as possible. Couldn't recomend trying out a sumi style brush enough.

One final one

>>4119590
>>4119599
>>4119593
Will give it a shot. Very inspirational work. There's something so pleasing about communicating so much with so little. The dry brush circle mark around the nose is a great touch along with the sharp eyelid indications. Love that monochrome red scheme for jellyfish girl too. Thanks for sharing anon.

>>4109008

>>4119706
cant wait to see that fur get all wet and sticky.

>>4119797
I draw only comfy stuff. Or are you referring to other users? I have no idea about FA, I just feel out of place posting furry stuff here.

any crits?

>>4119778
Ehhhh last one for tonight

I’m good at drawing what I see, not so good at drawing from my mind. Please help

>>4120056
draw more from your mind

>>4119778
anon, do you have any type of social media for your drawings? liked your style

>>4120009
You keep mentioning that you're doing "studies" but what references are you using?

>>4120056
for me it's the opposite

>>4114913
I think you could benifit from working a littlw lighter and cleaner

>>4120240
It fucking sucks because this is the best I can do with no references so far 1/2

>>4120447
And this is with reference

>>4120453
Just draw more for your mind dude lmao like shieeeed
If you progressed so much one way you're definitely able to do it the other.
Think of it like completing the same game on hard mode.
I believe in you, anon.

>>4120518
Thanks anon, I really needed that

>>4119706
I normally don't post edits but that head was horribly proportioned, just realized why it looked so wrong

>>4120453
I think if you copy like with a grid it won't help much with imagination, do you draw the shape of the skull etc?

>>4120552
Oh there were no grids and it wasn’t traced. It was simply me looking at a photo and drawing what I was looking at. No skeletons, just drew

>>4120729
You have to feeeeel the forms. I have an anatomy atlas on the phone and I practice drawing the skulls and muscles while rotating the model, it helps a lot figuring out heads although realism is still beyond me. I wanted to get an actual skull for practice but this was cheaper.

>>4120749
You know what, I think I’m going to do just that. Thanks anon

>>4120453
before I say more, how long did this take you in total and what sort of underdrawing/construction went into this (if any)?

>>4120765
Good luck anon, the road to imagination is long and paved with kangaroos

>>4120806
Only construction was searching for an image to draw, some rough corrections and it took me between 6-8 hours to “finish”

With issues on character perspective. Particularly in the feet position in relation to the ground.

Also hands poses.

>>4110117
I can see that influence from Yoji Shinkawa.

Try using pencil first, the secret is to have a clear idea of the proportion of the face, even with imaginary dots in your papers that way you can draw accurately without sketching or doodling.

>>4110867
Pretty awesome tree. I like how you managed that line hierarchy.

>>4121039
thanks for the advice. Will be more careful with initial proportion lay in. Never thought of conciously using imaginary landmarks

>>4120182
Blog here >>4098874

>>4120229
I just draw stuff i see on my Pinterest - their suggest content algorithm is much better than it used to be. It’s basically like going to class and the teacher is like “study this cool shit today”

>>4120009
This didn’t turn out how i wanted it to - moving on

>>4121236
This new paper is amazing, it’s smooth and soft it’s like i’m slicing through a baby’s arm with my pen

Man in the moon!

>>4109008
What!? They used my drawing... tnk u anon <3

>>4121488
I was feeling really good with the face on the left, then i went to touch up the nose and it was instantly destroyed

More practice is required

>>4122912
I just fed my Pinterest a bunch of fashion pins - so excited to draw clothes

Have some girls with big jackets

>>4117695
this style looks like it could be used for rpg's. love it

>>4123323
Anon...! Thank you so much, for now this is pretty deep in my comfort zone though, hopefully if I keep practicing I’ll have this kind of appeal with more challenging perspectives, poses, body types, whatnot :)

needs moar practice

Please tell me its every flaw.

>>4110177
Your stuff actually has a lot of life to it despite being technically lacking. Maybe it reminds all of us of our beginner days. Keep it up anon.

>>4117912
Clean, real smooth.

>>4111037
I like it anon nice

>>4123184
It’s just not my day today - i burned myself out from a week of markering

>>4110117
You have an aesthetically please style, but it's obvious you aren't so keen on drawing hands and feet. This is your sketchbook, and part of the fun of that is practicing things you've aren't used to drawing. Don't shy away because it wont look good on a page. You only fuck yourself over and cheat yourself out of progress. In one single year you will make better more aesthetically pleasing drawings and you'll have more to draw from, because you'll see more options from being a much more confident artist.

>>4124599
Nice style anon.

Your portraits are looking very flat. I think you need to work more on your construction and anatomy. Specifically, work a lot more on your construction, and then work on anatomy.

Do some drawabox for a while. This is to work on your construction.

Maybe do Proko after? Or maybe a course on cgmasteracademy. This is for the anatomy portion.

>>4127647
really good for beg, work on hips and legs though

Underrated stuff. These are really eye-catching, anon!

>>4131132
gorgeous page
what are you using here? inkbrush and grey marker?

>>4131154
Thanks anon. Here's a pic of tools from top to bottom.

>Pentel arts color brush pen
>Sakura Permapaque marker
>Pentel pocket brush pen
>Pilot Kakuno fountain pen
>White out correction pen

A lot of the work is done mostly with the pentel brush pen where it can create a variety of lines, as well as unique strokes when pressed on it's side.

The grey brush pen is obviously great for creating another set of values.

The sakura marker mostly covers larger areas so as to not waste the brush pen ink.

Kakuno is a backup incase I forgot my brush pen. Works nicely for fast gestures too.

And the white-out pen is for general mistakes.

>>4131177
Fuck, don't know why it rotated the pic.

tried a grease pencil for life drawing

why is this just ignored?

There's a lot of art ignored on this threads.

Sadly i do not have a place i post my art publicly anymore cause i wanted to focus on my art and myself but maybe one day i will once i feel i am strong enough

that's fair. everything you've shown upthread is wonderful, I'm curious to what your inspirations are. good luck though anon, I believe in you!
