Why would you choose such a shit OP pic for the draw thread. This thread is canceled, someone make a better one.

>>4176776
I don't even participate in these, but I vote for you to excommunicate this retarded fetishist always pushing his garbage down people's throats on draw thread OPs.

you're still at it? I thought you would've stopped after the nazi spam but I was naive to expect anything out of non-drawfag phoneposters

Anyone else think females secretly want us to be fat and bald? It would explain a lot. Just sayin.

Finished this today, commission for a friend

Currently working on this, not sure if I like it enough to finish it...

>>4178993
they want to mask their own obesity and inadequacy.

>>4178993
If that were true, neckbeards would be having a lot easier time in the dating scene.

>>4179025
This is really cute anon!

>>4179039
I do like it enough to finish to it, coooming

>>4179025
Looks good even though your friend might be a little basic. But then again we had to see your marker in the shot even though it takes us out of the piece.

oh no the one eyed man woke up

>>4176776
>>4176783
Just any of you make a new thread, report this one, migrate to that one and let it be done with.

>>4178993
shut up OP!

Drawn from life, phone camera isnt that great. I struggle filling the page and cropping creatively.

Red/White chalk. A3

>>4179337
Sorry btw... how do I crop it to 1000 wide?

>>4179204
Thank you anon ^_^
>>4179308
Ah thank you! I personally like it when the pens in shot because it takes up negative space and shows what pen you’re using without anyone having to ask

>>4179315
Yo, that's nice

>>4179339
take a screenshot and then post that

>>4179500
Cool thank you

drawing this for someone as a gift. Any constructive criticism before I move past this point?
Trying to stay away from making her too sexual or anime looking. The arm feels off but I can't tell why.

>>4179039
The neck on the girl is too long and it really shows you traced her face

>>4179612
yeah, stop drawing anime and draw something actually good to give as a gift.
i mean seriously, imagine receiving this as a gift from a "friend"
>hey m8, i drew you some shitty anime picture because you're my only friend, thanks for being there for me
>wow, uh... (i wish this guy would grow the fuck up already, why do i hang out with this loser... fucking anime! what a faggot) i don't even know what to say, man
>ha ha, it's no problem! i hope it makes you happy, teehee :) :) :)
>uh huh, me too
goddamn, i can't even fathom being you. it must be so embarrassing.

>>4179739
yeah, stop shitposting about someone else's work and give some actually good advice instead.
i mean seriously, imagine being condemned by anon
>doesn't post his work
>puts someone down for their preferred style
>doesn't offer any constructive criticism
>ha ha, cool story bro
goddamn, i can't even fathom being you. it must be so embarrassing.

>>4179774
aha I appreciate it but it's probably better to just ignore this kind of person. He's just after attention any way he can get it.

Drawing from life a bit more. Bout 3 or 4 hours fun stuff for to do. thoughts?

All I do are pencil studies of my favorite paintings. The next thing I create will be in oil, mark my words.

>>4179797
This isn't just technically good, it's got the soul too, man.

This is about the size of an index card. I messed up the rendering tho.

>>4179803
That's fantastic, photo reference or live reference?

>>4179936

>>4179797
Stunning. This is where I want to be eventually. Hope you dont mind me saving a copy of this for reference purposes only.

Love your use of highlights

>>4179797
If you could write a little about your technique I would love to hear it.

How do you know just where to crop the scene to fill the page like that? I am struggling with that atm. Mine is the chalk drawing in this thread

an illustration im working on.

Im making shitty portrait

>>4180234
apologies for my handwriting

donezo

George Bush doesn't care about black people.

My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

>>4180277
Bros, u literally making it worst

>>4180445
Look at the ref.

>>4180445

Lol. Are you fucking kidding me? It should be extremely easy to see where the original poster fucked up and if you can't see it you're probably not qualified to give advice here. Another thing the OP could do to combat the eyes being too far apart would be making them bigger for a more stylized look. Not sure what they were going for with this so do whatever you see as fit.

Btw. I really like the original piece and the overpaint so GJ guys!

>>4179612
I really like it. I'd love to see it finished

>>4180277
you're handwriting is completely fine

>>4180445
k. bro

idk what i want to do with the feet

Quick portraits

>>4180825

I like the idea of like a demon bot girl character but there are tons of issues with this. Her knee to our right was pointing in the wrong direction. Other stuff and I'm just pointing out the first ones that come to mind:

- I think her anatomy is pretty unappealing atm. Super long arms, stumpy legs, etc. Kinda looks like a gorilla but maybe that's what you're going for?

- I have no idea where your light is supposed to be coming from. If you feel insecure about doing lighting, maybe just go with 1 single light source and a rim/bounced light in addition to that (do this at the very end to add emphasis).

- I have absolutely no idea what her pose is supposed to convey. She kinda looks like a DJ who's about to start scratching some records. I suck at poses myself so I'll take photos of my girlfriend, use 3D-software or look for reference online. I think you could benefit from doing the same.

I'm done, I got told to not be so shy with highlights and shadow but I think it was a decent attempt

& my new toad bois WIP

>>4180869
Good shit, blog?

>>4180862
Thanks for the feedback. I've tried fixing some of the stuff you mentioned as well as just improving and finishing it in general. Lighting is still shit though.

>>4180445
What the fuck, go back to beg idiot. I actually like anon’s fixes because of the shadows alone and removing the details in the eye while also fixing the distance between them.

>>4181015
Instagram is smelliot_draws

>>4179612
I would twist the elbow outward, looks more natural to me.
Also maybe try having different rhytms beetwen the inside and outside outline for the arm, with the inside straighter the outside, to emphasize the bowing of the arm under the weight of the torso, instead of the mirrored look that you have now, which lacks energy.

>>4178938
nice!
>>4179039
Not your typical anime, you've got way more life in their faces!

>>4179039
get your proportions right in the first sketch before you continue

>>4179612
Her left arm seems significantly shorter than her right. If her shoulder is tilted like this, we should either see her elbow, or the place were she's putting her hand is unexpectedly far away.
But I think it's nice how you succeeded making it look very family friendly.

Trying to bring back some old stuff.

>>4178938
These are pretty cool, anon. Are these personal or for a project?

>>4179025
very wholesome!

>>4176183
Any tips on better line-art? I don't know how to make it look nicer.

>>4179337

You have an issue with proportions, focus on that next time instead of making it look good by filling it in everywhere. A few darkest darks in the cast shadows and sparingly used white will be much more effective than what you did here, but the main issue really is proportions, for example her head is too small and her torso is much too elongated. Good luck.

>>4179975
>>4179981
>>4179806
>>4179797

So much samefagging, pretty embarrassing.

>>4181572
Look up simple guides to line weight and come back for more specific stuff. Most of the image doesn't look like it's trying; do practices with thinner thins and thicker thicks.

>>4181594
Ok, thank you.

>>4181572
A messy drawing is better than a stiff drawing imo. You can easily clean up lines digitally but unstiffening a stiff drawing is hard.So I wouldn't worry too much about line quality for now.

>>4180524
Thanks! Probably going to take it slow while I work on other things so it might be a while though.

>>4181309
Wow, thank you so much for the red line. I see what you mean and I'll try to work on that. I've found it hard to get references for this pose and I can't even use my own body for this angle so it's been a bit annoying.

>>4181558
I don't know how I didn't realise how fucked the left arm is but I'm glad you pointed it out. I'll try to fix it. Thank you.

>>4181315
Very cool, only thing I would do is crop in in closer on the right side to make the composition better

I enjoyed myself but not happy with the result quite yet, gonna keep doodling

>>4182096
those look great!

>>4182151
Thank you! :)

>>4182177

@beholdnika on insta and Twitter :)

Fanart of mym from Dragalia lost.

What would be a good setting for this piece? She is trying on her mother's wedding dress, but I want to redraw the dragon threatening the viewer. Any suggestions, if I'm going to use Golden Rule to complete the composition?

Quick thumbnail before starting my next piece. I'm doing my version of Shriek from the 80's Maximum Carnage Marvel comics.

I will not be working on/over this sketch. I'll do a completely new image with proper line art and values. This is just an ugly sketch to check some basic lighting/composition/color/costume design stuff before starting with my final illustration.

Any feedback at this stage is welcome!

Hairy mushroom boy
the mustache and hair is supposed to be... uh... I forgot

janky-ass cabin thing with big glass windows

>>4179451
It introduces scale of your piece and levels the way it's received.

>>4182719
It's like manga being drawn on A3 and printed on A5

>>4182570
>Shriek
Based choice of character. Loved those comics as a kid.
Don't really have much else to say since I'm /beg/, just keep refining your composition and colors until it feels right to you.

>>4179934
Advise: put your scan trough a 1bit filter and colour that with a 5 colour pallet and halftone gradients.

>>4182654
I love morrowind dude hell yeah!

>>4182744

Aye. Cheers mate. I remember when I saw the first live-action Spider-Man trailer back in 2002 and I I was completely blown away by it. Felt so awesome to see the character in the real world just like I'd imagined him all my childhood. Still chasing that feeling by trying to do these characters that we haven't seen on the big screen yet.

Hope I don't fuck this one up...

>>4182798
A Maximum Carnage movie would be so cool. The closest we'll probably get is seeing Carnage in Venom 2 next year, but my expectations are kind of low since it'll be PG13 (and the first Venom was pretty meh-tier).

I also loved the Raimi Spider-Man movies when they came out (even the 3rd one, mostly because Venom was in it). I remember being an imaginative young teen and hoping Spider-Man 4 would have Carnage and/or Shriek in it.

Good luck on your piece, I believe in you anon!

Almost done. Any crits? Not sure about how to render the palms in the background either. What do you think?

Hand studies

Got sf vibes. Decided to get out of my comfort zone for a bit and try my hand on muscles.

>>4176183
my sakimi art study

I started working on this thing again since literally 4 MONTHS ago when i last posted it. Been dealing with a faulty computer/been too busy to do my own paintings. This piece has taken so long and has been a total waste of time.

But anyway it's almost done now. Just gotta tidy things up and do the carpet.

>>4183751

Holy shitzors. That's fucking amazing. Just the right amount of stylization to the face without it looking like a thirsty anime piece. It's like Brad Rigney but with better taste. Do you have a blog and do you have any process images of this saved? Would love to see how you approach a piece like this.

As for feedback: I think you could lose just a little bit more detail (like 5%) on the BG and also the carpet closest to the camera (which you were probably going to do anyway).

GJ anon!

>>4179039
You are very... inspired

Anything need change, or can I start to clean these up?

>>4183751
perfection.
This is my goal level of artistic skill.

saved. Will now be my eternal rerence of gmi.

M-may I ask how many hours per day you spend drawing on average... and for how many years, great master? I beg of you to tell me. I feel I am not putting in the hours, although it already claims most of my free time.

>>4183817
Blog? This is good.

>>4182761
I've never played Morrowind, is there a mushroom monster or something?

>>4183801

Looking good. Are these from Loomis or who are you studying? Some lines remind me of the Asaro head.

>>4183826
Yes, it is the Loomis head book.

quite sure it might look way better with a proper shadow thing

Made this for fun

>>4183751
Now it's perfect

>>4176183

Finished the outline but the two toads are starting to blur together, need some help

>>4184119

Looking good anon! I don't feel like they're blurring together too much. You could always make lines that are in front of other lines (intersecting) a little bit thicker. Also you could have the toads have slightly different hues in the final piece.

Can't wait to see where this one goes.

>>4183820
Morrowind's landscape is 50% giant gloomy mushrooms. By the way, do you have a blog?

>>4179039
Her chin seemed to big to me, so I made a shitty redline with MS Paint to propose a fix.

Sorry, just played Oblivion and Skyrim, forgot about the mushrooms hhhehhhh

>>4182570

Had to do something before I paint my final Shriek-image... I've been working on that for a couple of days and I think it'll be good. It's coming along nicely but I haven't used my iPad for a while so SOLIDU SNEKKU 4 teh lulz.

I love drawing when I'm drunk. Feed my back. I know this shit ain't good (yet)...

>>4184829

Ayyy. The ear is too close to the eye. Now I see it. Cobra...

Little reaplet

>>4184829

Continued. Fuck me if I can't get this done tonight...
>>4184862

Just shade it better. You have 1 value on the skull part and 1 value on the hood thing. Look at images of skulls an images of fabric!

>>4184694
this is so lovely, reminds me of Mignola a bit

>>4183751
didn't know we have artists that can render like this on /ic/. good job

>>4179739
What a pathetic crab

Think this is fine, for the time being.

>>4183817
Love this. Blog?

>>4184877
Makes me want to pick up charcoal again.

Done

When I compare it directly to the reference picture, the eyes are a bit mushed and smaller. Bothers me.

>>4183738
>when you're a better artist than the person you're studying

I like drawing with pink.

Drew for somebody in the draw thread of /v/
Still getting the hang on anatomy. I always have those Hampton and Bridgeman PDF's on standby.

I drew this as quickly as fucking possible for bandwagoning and it looks like total shit. f

>>4183751
you came a long way from doing pic related.

keep it up, brother.

>>4185994
First time properly attempting to render something. Any glaring issues ignoring the shit hand

Requesting critique. I'll be going into detailing and the background tomorrow.

>>4181588
For you.

/pol/ is always right.

I am kinda burned out on this one, I am not sure if it's worth continuing but I guess I should try harder right.

Working on a figure/statue

>>4188423
jesus christ

>>4188606

This is really beautiful bro. Why are you burned out? it's a relatively easy piece to finish and it'll look good if you give it another ~3-5h. It looks good now and you know it. Why are you finding it so hard to do this shit?

Wholesome advice demon has inconsistent perspective, mismatched lengths of limb segments, and low self esteem

>>4188828

I was doodling at a friend's house on Halloween and his roommate asked me to draw him a gf

>>4188775
I guess it's hard for me because I try to improve as I do things and be pushed to my limits, so in this instance I have to make good edges, render it well, learn how to draw hair and constantly tinker with values so I can achieve a better looking portrait. I spent over 7 hours on it already and having all those things that I mentioned in mind can burn you out pretty quickly. But still it's fun trying and I can always carry what I learn here to my next piece ( I can already tell I learned at least something)

Can anyone give me any advice on getting better with poses? I can't seem to think of any good ones.

>>4188795

Use more references.

>>4188833
Alright that's it for today with this stuff, I am glad that I came back to it but there is still much to be done, hopefully I can finish it. It's a constant battle of proportions, values and edges

>>4188833
>>4188867
It looks great but remember not everything you draw has to be a perfect piece that takes 10+ hours. You sound like you'd benefit from learning to accept slightly flawed art that takes a 10th of the time to complete.

>>4188830
>in an effort to guide the eye ... I've left detail out in non-crucial areas
I've made a lot of non-crucial pictures too, my man.

Thoughts on how to improve her face?

Thoughts on how to improve her face?

>>4189925
Face is too small compared to the rest of the head. Also lift up nose

>>4189940
Like so?

I am to slow of an artist.

>>4190821
Fuck me forgot the layer with the arm hair.

Bit of a beg but been training hard. This is entirely from imagination and I'm pretty happy with it. Thoughts??

What I got so far.

>>4189971
This is coming along very nice! Her overall design reminds me a bit of the Chameleos armor set from MH

>>4190840
I'm not quite sure of the form/structure of the canon armaments, but I guessed that she is supposed to be shooting forward with all canons, rather than having one pointing to the side.

>>4191213
Ah I see, the left canon does seem to be pointing more to the side, than it should. Thanks for the correction anon!

I wanted to play around with colours and I'm liking how this is turning out, is it worth finishing?

>>4191532
Up to you, buddy. What do you wanna do?

>>4191559
I wanna finish it! :D Would you have any tips to make it immersive and atmospheric? I want the viewer to feel warm from seeing it

Hello.

>>4190821
I feel Hotline Miami vibes.

I am still doing this thing, it's near being complete. Do you like it? Any issues with it? Is it worth posting online or should I keep it as a study piece?

Nice and clean work. I like your edge control.

https://www.instagram.com/softwhiteroll/

I had a big hiatus and I want to get back to studying digital art but honestly I don't understand why it doesn't get likes like at all

>>4192328
Don't correlate your success or technical skills to the amount of likes you get. And because it's just a nice study. No huge mass appeal but thats fine, also your tag game is weak. Its what its worth to you anyways. Stop BEin a downer k? Its nice work. Trent Kaniuga says "the only goal of a beginner artist should be to not get demotivated"

>>4192334
Yeah I don't draw for likes because they aren't reliable at all. I am just baffled by the fact that literally no one liked it, not one person. It's really weird, that's all.

>>4192340
probably just a lack of people getting to see it in the first place
there's too many factors when it comes to social media to find out exactly why

>>4192340
You just need to promote shit, social media isn't magic.

>>4191532

maybe the demon face could have been drawn better looks little funny

Then by god you go finish it man.
Make the viewer feel warm... Start coloring everything else darker and colder, she'll pop out as warm in the center.

Immersive/atmospheric... I get an autumn vibe from the picture. Go with that lol

>>4192917
lol yeah, I will

Did this for self portrait day

I've really not been drawing as much as I should. This is like my second proper digital painting this year. Which is fucking embarrassing

Crits are welcome!

>>4193056
That’s really detailed advice anon, thank you so much :)
>>4193065
Ohhh I’m in love with your brushwork anon

>>4193065
1. i like the eye on our right. i feel the form, the colors and values are nice. the eye on our left though looks flat.

2. i like the overall painterly/watercolor like rendering. thats why i dont dig the way you rendered the hair, it looks out of place because its way more smooth and "shiny" compared to the rest. cover the hair up with your hand and youll see what im talking about, it looks like a completely different and more cohesive piece without the hair.

3. i like the sharp edge versus dark cast shadow on the hoodie, right under the neck. i would even put some more highliht (but a flat kind of highlight) on the hood.

4. i think the background isnt doing anything good here, it has a negative effect on your piece if anything.

5. i dont think the back of the hair should be so dark, some light could help here.

sorry for the fix, i just think youre cute and i wanted to fix just the background but your face kept me for a bit longer

>>4193103
Thank you!

>>4193109
I honestly prefer the left eye. But it's mostly because of the areas around the eye, which was mostly an happy accident and made me change the rest of the image (with the more prevailing shapes)

The hair is shit tho. I completely agree. But I swear I spent 1/3 of the entire painting on it and eventually just got angry and said fuck it. Which is something you really shouldn't do.

But thank you a lot for the critique! I will consider all of it and try to figure out better solutions for my next piece!

And you're also cute! Wanna fuck?

>>4193121
but you dont know if im cute! stop lying.

i know what you mean with the hair, i always go crazy on one single part of the drawing and it always ends up looking out of place and weird but i dont know how to fix it. its true what painting profs always tell me, dont overdo anything you're not sure about because it will only bring out the mistakes and lack of confidence more.

>>4193103
Man you're very welcome, don't let people decide if you should continue a drawing. It doesn't have to be 'worthy'. Just follow your heart a little or you're missing the point of drawing anything.

>>4193065
Hey good job picking an interesting expression rather than a boring plain look. I know I would've just made a plain expression. So the rendering's pretty good and you're clearly paying attention to skin's translucent behavior. I think it turned out kind of pallid this time, but I think you're on the right track trying to tackle this. Your ability to plot what you're looking at is good, as the construction reads well and so does the expression. You're good at that.

I think you should work on your ability to manage all the values in the picture. I think you spend so much time rendering one part, the overall value it should have gets away from you. Meaning your picture doesn't have as much 3D depth as it should. Gotta practice keeping a balanced relationship between shadows, lit areas, and ambiently lit shadows.

Lips are rendered just beautifully though. Great job.

>>4192316
Good job! I'm at a similar stage as you -- I think you should work on your skill with brushwork. Don't get me wrong, your rendering and values are very good, but you're exhausting your time and energy with inefficient use of brush size and brush type. I think at your skill level you could pull off something like this with a lot less headache with simpler brushwork. Simpler is harder to learn, but it'll pay off a lot.

Let me be clear, your edge control is great. The rendering, and values, great. The result is there. But you're working too hard for it. I notice you used a small square brush to painstakingly render her entire bare cheek.

If you challenge yourself to do this with fewer, more decisive, albeit "less perfect" brush strokes, you're going to also test your confidence in blocking in values. Good job, you get a Like and Thumbs Up and Share from me.

>>4192334
>also your tag game is weak
Any tips for that?

Drew my friend today

Spent the better parts of today and yesterday doing this shit over and over trying to figure out a way of rendering with color that makes sense to me. Still don't know if the brush I use should be textured, or if it should be opaque or not, or if it's best to keep it as a circle or use some other kind of brush tip.

My colors are almost always muddy which I blame on my lack of understanding of when they should be saturated (and I typically just pick shit colors cause I don't know how), also the fact that my monitors have completely different settings so it looks fine on one and washed out on the other. Not sure if it's standard to block in base colors first before rendering, which might also be fucking me over.

Disheartening since I could just apply a quick cel shading layer and stick it on multiply which so far would look better than anything I'm capable of producing. Don't know how people make their shit look so good and complex while also doing it so quickly, but at the moment every artist I look up to is out of my league. Should probably be using more soft brushes now that I think about it, don't know why I'm so turned off by them. It's probably cause you'd usually pair it with the lasso tool which I hate using cause you have to be so precise with it, and also it's soulless

I just want someone to give me a direction to go into or point me to something I can study

>>4183751
I wish you'd start a thread showing people how to get better, or at least how to practice their fucking fundies right.

>>4193245
That must be a very close friend.

>>4193676
No, it's a stolen photo from her facebook's pm but she is my friend so technically it's correct

>>4193676
Not really
>>4193678
What? Stop roleplaying as me

>>4193676
Yeah this is an open relationship so I can't call her a gf really

>>4193678
>>4193705
Fuck off

>>4193678
>>4193705
>>4193709
Stop

>>4193804
Thank you.

>>4193804
one day, you will be as good as me brian.

>>4193804
Lmaoing at those shoulders. Tons of issues here m8, small and stiff torso with little form, the connection into the thigh is super awkward, awful hands, flat rendering. You desperately need to do some quick timed studies and gesture drawings to hammer that anatomy into your brain. Don't be discouraged, you can do better.

I apologize for the filter and naval.Is this enough to sell out?

Hey, 15 yo, beginner, don't have a clue what I'm doing. Can you help me?

>>4193804
Her face kind of looks like it was squashed, and also her shoulder, the one that's closer to her face, looks a bit weird, like it shouldn't be so high. I'm not too good with anatomy myself, but I think it looks pretty good :)

I'm not sure how to ask crit for this, maybe there's something I can do to make it more fun or interesting?

Everything look right with the facial proportions, and does the hatchwork follow the forms in your eyes?

how many of these do i gotta do to become an art god (from imagination)

>>4193804
looks like she had a stroke

>>4195382
a couple everyday for 3-5 years

>>4195382
you wont become an art god (from imagination) just from doing still lifes

>>4195382
Post original work

>>4195153
hey, this isn't bad.

>>4195382
draw 10,000 apples and you will become the apple master.

Went to the skatepark with some friends and started drawing so I couldn’t get distracted from my phone. I had fun :D

>>4196253
Thanks.

>>4183956
could i get that character with a transparent background thx

>>4195047
Id rework the tail for my alligator like construction, besides that clean it up maybe try some more vibrant colors.

Sketched this today. On second glance the couple things I've noticed wrong with it are the legs of the kneeling figure being badly proportioned and the head of the standing figure slightly too small.
Anything else I'm missing?

>>4196990
Decent work but I’d like to suggest to lower detail in one of the eyes, probably the one further away. When you look at someone in the eyes you can actually only focus on one eye Which causes the other eye to be less detailed. With equal detail they will fight for the attention of the viewer. Nice simplicity with the hair though.

how can i color this better?? how should i color the face and the hair?

Some head studies

>>4193340
the colors are definitely not muddy imo, idk what else to say it's practically pro at the one with the green circle near it. But not so much with the Yellow fin to the left

Been playing a lot of fiora lately so i decided to give it a try drawin her

Don't draw fantasy much. Decided to draw a portrait of a fantasy character

>>4199303
Cool! But it would have been even better if you had put those lines on the ruler in perspective too

Still figuring how to make the coloring look a bit better

>>4199994
Fingers are too small, the right arm is absent don't know what wacky adventure the legs are about to go on.
Like the hair and pose

trying to draw fit girls

>>4200641
The right figure is off. left one is good, I like your rigid lines

This was a quick design test. How’s the conveyance of snakey-ness for this character. I think it’s too lizard like

>>4201071
I would consider getting rid of the hair and maybe making the neck or body longer.

>>4201073
The hair is a wig, it’s supposed to be like a motif cause he fetishes being human, but ya I should make the neck longer

>>4201069
thank you. what do you mean by "off"? i should mention that the characters are suppose to be different heights. the left one being shorter...

>>4201096
i can tell they're supposed to be different heights. theres something off with the chest and neck of right figure. also, the shoulder and elbow don't pop forward in space

>>4201106
better?

>>4201106
better?

>>4201130
fixed proportions a bit

>>4176183
Here's mine, though it's lewd and I drew it while streaming.

>>4201154
You look like you had a nice visit to a haunted hot spring.

>>4179803
>>4179947
you fucked the values all over her face

>>4201154

>>4201524
You're right and I'm sad. I shouldn't have rushed it

It goes both ways, but there are some women out there who are staunch narcissists. They fling themselves onto successful men in the hopes that they attract them, and if they're able to nab one, they'll do everything in their power to make the man mimic their poor habits. They don't necessarily care if the man gains weight or whatever - he'll still have his money. Him not being desirable to anyone outside their relationship is just an added bonus. Why work hard to make yourself equally desirable and independent when you can trap your means of success in a spiral of mediocrity that he can't easily escape without reinvesting the time to achieve those goals again.

Also, fyi, the OP's pic is fake.

So I decided to learn to draw at 24. I never studied art and got told I was terrible at school. I've read the sticky and I drew the upside down Picasso using the image as a guide. Should I bother learning or am I a lost cause?

Also given my lack of knowledge I'm going to refrain from critiquing but if anyone wants a filthy casual's opinion just (you) me and I'll comment

>>4201621
it looks alright. remember its just an exercise for shifting your attitude towards observing - so that you truly observe instead of drawing your own ideas of reality. keep drawing whatever you like anon. its never too late to learn, people who tell you otherwise are old bitter and never succeeded themselves

study of that one sargent painting everyone does a study of

>>4201742
hmm. the color palette is good. but i think you kind of missed the point of doing sargent's study in the first place. he's known for being able to capture humans face with big, broad strokes, without focusing on details. look at his paintings again and try to imagine how he would move his brush across the canvas.

>>4201750
How so?
I feel like I learned a lot about brush work in this study.

>>4201757
thats good, and im not saying its a bad study, i just feel like sargent's work is definitely recognizable mostly because of his rough brushwork, whereas your brushwork looks detailed, done with small brush. like picrel for example, the material looks very convincing but we can literally count artists' brushstrokes

>>4201772
you're right, getting accurate results with a big brush is way above my skill level at the moment though.

>>4201779
its ok anon, youll learn, with time you'll start using bigger and bigger brushes without even noticing it. also forgot to add i really like how you painted the eyes

some recent gorbage, feels like im going backwards a little bit lately

>>4201791
thank u, i'll do my best

>>4193065
skål

>>4201568
thank you. i appreciate it

could really use some help with this one, i posted it as finished but honestly it just doesnt feel finished to me. i think the lighting is off and i didnt render it well enough

>>4202677
very pretty, try to up the contrast with the mushroom in the foreground cause it kinda blends in w the background. also maybe put some more into the bg like a forest? dunno

>>4176183
> I am not a pedo, please don't look up the original.
I've been fiddling with a wacom for the last 2 months. However, I still make darker spots like the ones on the picture.
1. What is the problem? my hand or the tablet setting?
2. Do you make the same mistakes? If so, how do you correct it?

can someone pleasee check my figure. 4 arms posed in perspective is out of my depth and I can't tell if they look jank or not

just got done sketching this. anyone with any tips on getting thinner line art? Not specifically for this piece but just in general.
