Are you talking about the Cintiq pro series? because I can also afford a Cintiq 16 and there are couple of refurbished cintiq 22hd on ebay going for the same price range.

But if its the pro then yeah I might have to save for like 5-6 months.

i give up i cant feel forms
its literally a talent some people arent born with and we will never make it

>>4458122
>we
speak for yourself. maybe try sculpting, that's all form.

trying to run before I can walk
can't draw hands :^)
will appreciate any advice

>>4458165
Fix the mouth.
And learn how to draw hands.

I got kinda pissed at my inability to draw a cat. So I fucking drew a fucking cat.

>>4458174
I think it's an improvement over this piece of cute shit.

>>4458171
I struggled a lot with it, can you describe what's wrong with it?

Why do most recommend figure drawing first before head drawing?

cant see forms
cant see shapes
cant see values
cant see planes

>>4458165
You destroyed your own drawing by hiding the hands like a retard

>>4458197
can you see your own dick at least?

When is the right time to transition to tablet drawing?
Should I have a solid grasp of all fundies before doing so?

>>4458197
Based and gmi

>>4458189
No I don't actually know whay's wrong with it, I just don't think it looks quite right.
Look at other big lipped anime girls I guess.

>>4458197
How are you typing this if you're blind?

Crit my 200 IQ study plan
~12 months plan Fundamentals Into Industrial design. Goals: learn fundies, observation skill, basic software knowledge, expand visual library, figure out (if/what) I want to focus on as a career. 6/7 days a week; min 8h/day; 2300 hours total
3 months; perspective Perspective Made Easy-> NMA Erik Olson lectures-> Robertson How to Draw.
4 months; Sketching Sketching The Basics-> dynamic sketching(Dynamic Bible, Peter Han? research this)->Environment Sketching(James Gurney,Feng Zhu, find books)->rest of Design Sketch books/vehicles if time left. Learn SketchUp + do IRL sculpting
2 months; Anatomy (figure out if I care about character design at all) Vilppu-> Animal Anatomy (NMA has some)-> Hampton Figure drawing
1 month; Digital Painting Ctrl+Paint I guess
3 months to infinity; Color, Composition, James Gurney Color and light, How to Render Robertson, research Gnomon etc for Photoshop and rendering tech, start 3D(Modo probably, then zbrush if characters)

>>4458212
ok thanks I appreciate it
>>4458198
maybe I'll man up and change it then :^)

>>4458174
Do you like mine?

>>4458206
Just make your tablet brush a pen brush. And don't use zoom. Then you can do both.

>>4458254
>don't use zoom
Why not?

>>4458220
Turn those months into weeks.

>>4458230
Pretty cute.

>>4458265
Because you can't zoom in on a piece of paper. Zooming is a crutch. The point is to make working on paper and on tablet the same.

>>4458273
Got it, any cheap entry level tablets to recommend?

I haven't touched a pencil/graphic tablet in over a couple years. Until then I was a wannabe amateur. Can I make it?

>>4458276
Just get the cheapest wacom you can find, but get a weighted pen. The size doesn't matter I don't even use half the space in mine since you just move the page around on screen. A nice pen is what really makes a difference.

>>4458282
You got talent. Start drawing.

>>4458267
You mean like 3 months = 3 weeks or 3 months = 12 weeks? Cause if it's the first option, then that seem unreasonably too little.

>>4458309
Post your work and I'll tell you how long it'll take.

>>4458214
>you have eyes so that means you have perfect fucking leonardo da vinci bradley cooper in limitless 110% of your brain eaglevision and you're only lazy if you can't draw well xD

>>4458309
Actually here's what you do: draw something, then draw the same thing but improve it. Then post the two pictures of before and after. I'll tell you how long it'll take based on how much you were able to fix.

>>4458329
ok, here's a sketch I did not long ago, I'll finish it and post the result. I'm doing the perspective course rn, so there is not a lot of time to just draw, but I've been posting photos of progress with the perspective for the last week here.

dude i just keep fucking up, i can't even draw straight fucking lines without fucking it up, my brain gets all overworked when even thinking about how to draw. I am fucked.

>>4458197
norf fc?

I plan on doing a lot more today. but how accurate is good enough? is there a way to make the ellipses even more accurate?

>>4457545
human brain is literally incapable of long term thinking, look it up. it's counter-intuitive. you need to force yourself to do stuff and it's not easy.

Made a couple of mistakes with the mako so I stopped, I heard it's better to keep it short anyway instead of getting bogged down so maybe it's for the best.

>>4458440
Dope dude! Only Normandy left

>>4458290
Cool, does the weighted pen need to be bought separately? Is it an option?

>>4458379
Keep doing it Anon! You will get over it if you keep working at it believe in yourself, just stop focusing on the tiny details like making perfect lines. Study and practice your fundies and you will see how much more there is to things than lines.

gonna study some hands but first I tried a cute nose
tried toning down the lips a bit as well
been staring at my screen for too long, better get some sleep before I get carona :^)

one hour something photo study

>>4458516
I just noticed how small I made the back of her head so here is a quick correction

>>4458522
good shit Anon, post ref?

>>4458531

>>4457564
>How does fashion illustration work? I find it interesting but I can't draw for shit. To my surprise a lot of designers rely heavily on templates. Is it just a matter of elaborately dressing up pre-drawn figures?
You're confusing two similar disciplines. Fashion designers use templates, because they're focused only on the clothes. Fashion illustrators focus on the figure as well as the clothes. To put it another way, fashion designers are mainly concerned with the way clothes look, while fashion illustrators are interested in giving the clothes life.

>>4458484
thanks friend

>>4458296
I appreciate it. Pic related is from 2014. I don't really keep my stuff for my motivation is quite intermittent.

Unironically, what I always wanted to draw is loli stuff.

Any tips on drawing breasts?
i am always confused legitimally on how to do em properly, i do have references but the way to make em confuses me mostly.

>>4458572
You gotta attach em to a torso for it to make sense.

>>4458572

>>4458585
>>4458584
Oh wow thanks guys it works!

Now i can say they are boobs somewhat, i have to keep practicing my curves but i am at least more aware.

Here's a sleepy-eyes type girl

>>4458572
Boobs come in all shapes and sizes

>>4458457
I might give the normandy another go, my previous horrible failure doesn't sit well with me.
Tonight I'm in the mood for something more organic tho.

>>4458613
It looks pretty nice my dude

Stargate was on

I made this

another photo study one hour

I draw furry wedgie fetish art for a commission. Should I post it on my twitter so people know I drew it as a commission and entice other people with niche fetishes to contact me


or would it make people think I'm a freak and unfollow me

>>4458667
her jaw looks small or neck too long, post ref.

>>4458780
I won't post ref just go in front of a mirror and compare for yourself

>>4458174
Congratulations, you are now

Is drawabox a meme or is it actually a helpful course for a beginner to go through?

>>4458815
are you starting from scratch or did you draw when you were a kid?
try to draw a simple object that you see in front of you and post it .

>>4458815
ISIS

I

becoming more and more comfortable with these perspectives. I've been trying to do it faster and faster, because when I take too long I overthink things and mess up.
like last night when I posted that shitty perspective (I deleted it was so bad)
so just wondering, how do you determine when the points are too close and would cause distortion? is there a method to determining it?

>>4458815
it's just simplified design drawing curriculum. you'll be doing those exercises sooner or later

if there is anything I can draw it's straight lines and I call this bullshit. doing line 1 is a better exercise since it trains you to think while drawing

Critique please

what can i do to fix the foreshortening and the clothing. or is everything just fucked, if i redo what should i pay attention to.

>>4458869
it made me laugh, and now I want a fucking double cheese burger.
on a more serious note wendy's torso is too small, the proportion of the head to the tits are good but her belly is tiny tiny

>>4458834
Pretty much from scratch, I made an attempt at learning to draw a year ago or so but quit. Can't post anything at the moment, sorry.

>>4458836
wat

>>4458842
I'm taking that as a yes, then?

>>4458876
the biggest problem is that you misaligned the butt crack with the spin off the torso.
and you made the right butt cheek go to low.

>>4458865
if you intend to make line B and it looks like line A you need to practice.
if you intend to make line A and end up making line B you need practice.

>>4458869
this just made my day, god damn its funny
Wouldnt mind coomers doing more funny comedic stuff

Before I use this as a reference, I want to be absolutely certain that I've annotated it correctly. Does it look about right?

>>4458908
The biggest problem is the butt crack? There are bigger problems with the anatomy besides the butt crack. The arms have no internal structure, like underinflated balloons. The right arm looks to be folded a complete 180°. The neck is covered in complete shadow, a sign that anon couldn't figure out how the head connected to the torso. The hair should still be obscuring our view of the body unless the head is whipping back to look at the viewer, in which case there should be more motion to the hair. Where is the vagina? It should be visible from this low angle. Then you address the butt crack. These are just the problems with the anatomy.

Before you redraw the picture, try drawing the picture from a standard eye level. Work out the pose before trying to "foreshorten" the drawing.

>>4458908

i don't understand why people say shit like "just fix this bro" when 90%of the drawing it's a mess

>>4458042
My first ever soft pastel drawing
I added sunglasses to the man cause the face is kinda shit

>>4458958

Pyw crabs

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I FINALLY FIGURE OUT HOW TO STUDY
EUREKA! EUREKA!

.

>>4458972
Because it's /beg/, we all know that 90% of every drawing here looks like crap, no point in repeating it. We also don't want to encourage people to turd polish. Fix the one or two most glaring issues so you can learn something from those and then move on.

I'm never sure how to finish paintings - I seem to have this issue where I render the face the way I want to and then can't finish the body/clothes textures + does anyone have tips for painting lace?

Should I just push through and grind out the details on the rest of the painting as well?

>>4458985
Elaborate. Did you set yourself up with a curriculum? What?

>>4459010
obviously drawings in here aren't going to be high tier, but saying just ''fix the most glaring issues'' when in that pic theres almost no point in fixing that ass when the most glaring issue is the overall poor anatomy.

>>4458878

Except the two most glaring issues you pointed out focused on the ass when there were more fundamental errors being made. You say you don't want to encourage people to turd polish when that's exactly what you were doing by making anon believe they could make one or two fixes and everything would be good. The biggest problem anon has is that they completely lack the ability to be self-critical, so they post asking for critiques, then ignore those critiques to repeat the same mistakes.

Pls tell me my problems with this gesture drawing thing, I feel like I'm doing something extremely wrong(except not drawing them enough, I know about that).

>>4459053
even when you've only drawin 12% of the entire gesture you should've drawn I can tell if you had fleshed them out the proportions would be way off

>>4458958
thank you anon for being specific

>>4459056
Isn't the point of gesture drawing to show the exaggerated movements and not the details? Why do I need exact proportions? I don't understand this thing.

>>4459005
Love the plumpness.

>>4458585
nice

>>4459037
>>4459050
Redline it, pyw, etc, otherwise fuck off, no one wants to be lectured by keyboard warriors.

>>4458352
There's a lot of fundies in that so I don't think it'll take you years.

>>4458865
Kim Jung Gi literally does A.

>>4459142
are you kim jung gi?

>>4459146
No but I'll tell you how to draw a nice line, it actually has to do with your eyes more than your arm. Usually people look at where they want the line to end as in the last dot. But you need to look at the point where you want the line to go through on its way to the end and the shape that it's going to create. Also ghost a few times before you put the line down.

I've done a mix of drawabox and gesture work for the past week since I've been on quarantine. Getting back to more drawabox (kinda daunted by drawing ellipses in ghosted planes) and I don't know, but I kinda feel the improvement already. As someone who has always drawn entirely from the wrist (aka, growing up doing it wrong), I'm feeling pretty good!

>>4459053
Post your sources. May I see them?

>>4458900
>I'm taking that as a yes, then?
I mean it's not a meme, but I'm not sure if it's as helpful for beginners. imo observational art(keys to drawing), values and basic color theory should be learned before construction.

>>4458876
learn how boobs hang, even in anime style large boobs like that would hang more instead of stick straight out.

>>4459171
Quickposes and I've accidentally closed the summary tab, so no. I will also post the references in the next study.

>>4459049
I hate the way I shade. Any tips/redline? The drawing's okay but I never like the way the shading ends up looking.

Which pen do I use. Bought a whole set and they all look the same

>>4459010
>don't polish turds you guys
>>4459115
>p-polish this turd t-tough guy
I get it. You got caught thinking like a coomer and got btfo'd. I would be embarassed, too. The fact is that anon wanted critiques. That's why they posted to /ic/. It's not like I stumbled across their DA gallery. My critiques of the anatomy are valid and were made to make anon a better artist. Your butt-focused comments were also helpful, I'm sure.

>>4459285
don't reply to obvious bait you just encourage the autists to keep parroting the same stale low iq attempts of ''trolling''

I'm sssstarting to get the hang of gestures more. I'm really enjoying not working so I can focus on drawing a lot, to an autistic degree. If the world stays where it is now, and shit doesn't hit the fan, I'm okay with continuing to iron shit out.

Still some sloppy lines and chicken scratch, and proportions are dumb for being gesture lines, but I am feeling the improvement. I feel good!

I would like to color this eventually, but where should I go from here? Draw a clean outline? Draw the muscles and skeleton underneath? Just start painting (copying the colors I see in the reference)?

>>4459371
You're doing outlining not gesture. Focus on just gesture.

>>4459386
FUCK.

>>4459053
Another go. Also are all the female images from this site porn lol

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>4458839
Basically, the circle represents what you actually see with your eyes simulated on paper. Everything in that cone will be normal proportions. Going closer and beyond will start to distort objects. Placing vanishing points beyond your Picture Plane (bold black rectangle) will make things look natural. At least one VP needs to be out of bound of your picture. If they are both in, it'll make a wide angle, fish eye effect.
Also, here's what lines to draw in your planes to help you make accurate ellipsis. Note the diagonal in the corer of the little square. The circle is always close, but not touching it, that should guide your line. Read/watch a tutorial on how to draw ellipsis on plane in perspective tho, there are some tricks to it.

>>4459424
I didn't understand what you're asking but you're using the ellipses wrongly. When the ellipse is a circle with foreshortening, the short axis of the ellipse intersects with a vanishing point. There is no reason to draw random ellipses around the picture inside boxes(if this is not a specific exercise that I don't know about that is).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>4459461

>>4459470
kek

I tried drawing for the first time in months. How'd I do?

ass practice

How should i finish the middle of her hair? Like her hairline.

Recently got back into art after a few years off. I need more practice on faces and orientation but what else?

I feel like I've stagnated a little so I did something to try to inject some soul into my work

>>4459380
I just posted this in the Discord server and they gave me a NGMI role. So now I can't post anymore. What did they mean by this?

>>4459554
>I just posted this in the Discord server
This is where you failed the test

I kinda liked how some of these faces came out

>>4459545
Is this asukafag? I can't even tell anymore

>>4459449
ok before I head off to bed and try again tomorrow, is this the correct idea?

>>4459461
>>4459470
AHHHHHHHHHH

Day 2 of grinding my brain with 3D thinking.

>>4458165
labia majora is way too big, it shouldn't be as wide as one of her already large breasts for instance. head is stiff and the mouth is awkward looking. your eyes don't wrap around the head enough and look flat because your head is in 3/4s view but your eyes barely reflect this. the hair looks like a helmet and there's no variation at all for any of her locks. also it's always a bad idea to hide something you can't draw, everyone knows it and everyone can spot it, just man up and draw hands like other anons said

>>4458323
keep making excuses

>>4459470
>no gf

I dunno how to render

>>4459589

>>4459604
Nice render. You got talent. Draw more.

>>4459584
right idea yeah, but naturally, the curves must be smoother. The curve goes near the points but never touches and no angles appear. Check the tutorials you'll also need to know where are major and minor axis placed to understand how ellipse elongates

>>4459583
Not a clue who that is I'm afraid

I'm having trouble getting her anatomy and proportions right. Help :(

I need ass-ssistance my dudes. How do you guys pick your colors?

>>4459635
What brush do you use to sketch?

>>4459640
CSP's "Colored Pencil"

>>4459642
Thank you, I really like how you did your linework.

do you see any obvious disproportions

>>4459637
looks kind of joker-y (the card not the batman guy)
Would go red top left and bot right, black top right and bot left, or blue and gold

>>4458165
Draw hands. Eyes look retarded and not in the ahegao sense.

>>4458589
Use traditional materials, pencil and paper. Draw off of actual nudes to learn how tiddies work.

I can kind of understand noses and eyes a bit better after watching proko's anatomy videos. I still don't get lips at all though. Overall it still looks like a mess but it's better than it has been.

>>4459424
this is what's happening, if I understood you correctly. Same stuff as normal cube laying on the ground in one point, with it's center of vision going through the middle, but rotated. Don't forget that if you move it left/right the middle dividing line of the plane should still go into vanishing point

>>4459593
thanks for all the advice. I'll study up on the things you mentioned. I did end up changing the pose so you can view hands.
>>4459794
I started out with this trying to make the face more expressive which is probably why it looks weird. I'll study up on some expressions too I guess.

Im doing a comic without actual drawing experience. Do i keep it up?

>>4460019
Do you want to? If you gain drawing experience it'll turn out much better.

>>4460019
Keep it up.

>>4460019
sure why not? maybe try to incorporate something new in each panel!

>>4460019
If you want to tell a story first of all, and plan to have a lot of dialog and stuff then it's probably better to just write it instead of drawing. If you want to improve and learn visual storytelling then comic is better.

>>4460030
I don't want to since my drawing skills are total shit and it takes me a lot of time to draw something. But i also need to have a comic ready for my narrative class.

>>4460019
This is suppossed to be the main character, but i struggle a lot to draw him.

Yeah but i also feel bad for not being able to draw, it frustrates and depress me a lot while i am doing it.

>>4460200
I might add that i started my animation and visual arts career 6 months ago. Most of my classmates already know how to draw very well with one of them being superb. Im among the students with inferior drawing skills only above a few that still don't know what even drawing is.

Anyway, what i was even thinking when i join? I am afraid of not making it and not finding a job.

You have no critiques of the anatomy beyond "fix the anatomy" because you aren't capable of giving any.

does anybody know a good tutorial on painting with clip studio? i don't want to learn photoshop or sai.

>>4460509
just pick color and paint

>>4460491
Her head is not too small, that's not the problem, the problem is you're rendering when you should be learning form and perspective, the problem is your gesture is stiff and unnatural, I know it seems like she's moving and in a pose but you can see the stiffness and uncanny movement of her legs and torso
Draw from life
Do gesture
Vilppu drawing manual
And stop rendering things until you learn more about anatomy so you can render more confidently
You can make it anon you just gotta build up your foundation more don't jump the gun

>>4460578
>Her head is not too small
>the problem is your gesture is stiff and unnatural,
>stiffness and uncanny movement of her legs and torso

dude come on, be honnest, post your work.

I don’t fucking understand shading and highlights.
I keep messing with this to try and get it right in a somewhat jack Kirby style but I’m really just tracing my outline or guessing.

Critiques?

>>4460594
The gesture is stiff and unnatural though, rigid proportion isn't as important as you think it comes with practice to properly proportion rather than measurement. That's exactly how Michael Hampton would teach it and similarily with vilppu. But gesture is way more important and if you can't see that yours is fucked idk what else to tell you. If you go to the video course thread you can watch the Michael Hampton figure drawing class where he goes over da Vincis drawings with gesture and explains the way it's exaggerated and the axes of the main forms. I think it would help and it's free

I'm tired anons
Spent more than 10 minutes working on this... that's actually an achievement for me

>>4460602
dude you still can't put precise word why the gesture is stiff, you think your intuition is better than my measurement then ok maybe it is...

but show me, maybe if you can't tell you can at least show... ?

draw primitives(cube and such) on the surface and one light source. and draw same but move light source (imaginary) around.

what this shadow is on - is he riding out of the wall? if so and assuming this is front flashlight there must be shadow of horse head on skeletor

>>4460474
Who the fuck cares?

>>4460613
Ok just give me some time to get my tablet

>>4460161
Good shit anon. May I ask what your process is? How do you block in the values? From dark to light or light to dark?

>>4460645
Dark to light, hopefully I can improve quickly before the end of the year, thanks for the kind words

Is my art cyoot?

>>4458042
Tried to draw this e thot today with no construction. Eyes look so small.

>>4460442>>4460161
Nnice

>>4460161
Does this mean I'm going to die?

>>4460657
>Eyes look so small
Yes, if you're weeb scum then they're so small... If you're a respectable human with no mental disease, then they're OK, and the think that makes it disturbing are those furry ears

>>4460657
A second drawing with no construction and this time no pencil under drawing. I just drew a center line down her face first so that I could try to find landmarks that way.

>>4460685

>>4459637
leave beg
anyway i think orange red and green would look good on her

Is painting via opacity/tranparency/erasure a legit technique? By that I mean I start off with a flat highlight layer. I then mask it with a shadow layer on top. The process involves erasing parts of the shadow layer where I think light hits, which then reveals the light layer underneath it. Darker values are obtained not by colorpicking a darker value, but via opacity (repeated brush strokes over one area until desired value is obtained.) It takes a long time, but it's more intuitive for me than the usual block-in method, and it feels like I can control the edges better. The main 'brush' here are hard and soft erasers. The only limitations I see are low contrast references.

>>4460679
I do regret the ears. They're part of her headphones. Hers are basically just triangles with leds on them. I thought it'd look better to make them look like cat ears. I was wrong. I hate furries too.

>>4460696
On the other hand, I made this using the standard block in method. It ended up muddy and I had a hard time controlling and blending edges. The round brush doesn't behave the way I want it to, as opposed to the erasers.

my approximation

>>4458976
this sky and clouds look really good but the land and the figure look kinda retarded

>>4460654
No. It's hideous and I hate you.

>>4460578
>stop rendering things
Jesus christ fuck off.

Why is drawing on a 6 inch tablet for a 27 inch monitor so fucking bad? don't wanna buy a smaller monitor just for drawing...

Is it time to upgrade to a pen display bros?

>>4460757
he told me he was going to show me... I had the time to eat to chill and to start working a new sketch and he still hasn't posted, I want to believe he know what he is talking about, but I think it's just another case of I watched a video so I know better...

hmmmm I hope I'm wrong and got to learn something today...

>>4460687
More absolute trash with no pencil and no construction.

>>4460788
Forgot picture.

>>4459619
ok so this is how the axis works. right? short axis to vanishing point, long axis perpendicular to that.

>>4460806
>>4459619
also, I just updated the image from last night, today I will practice making it smoother

>>4460733
:(

Some Photoshop work I did and it turned out well I guess. What do you guys think? Any advice?

>>4460842
Looks too unnatural, try using pressure sensitivity.

>>4460720
Yeah my thoughts exactly its hard to do faces in small dimensions in pastel

did some more practice.
but the cylinder on the left feels off, the red line indicates my initial curve, but the connection lines at the long axis cuts through this curve, so I drew a second curve that fits inside, is the second curve closer to correct?

>>4461005
Nice, your practice is paying off. Red line is right. Since it's 1 point perspective and that plane is always facing use, and it's a square, the ellipse in it is always a true circle. Technically you don't need to think about cylinder axes in one point, since everything goes into view point or perpendicular, but it's a good practice to check yourself.

I want to draw horse, but horse hard

hello?

>>4461026
ah so you only connect at the long axis in 2 point? and connect at the midpoint of the square in 1 point?
cause in "perspective made easy" it seems to only show cylinders in 2 point, which made it kinda weird to translate to 1 point.

>>4461041
ye in 1 point just draw lines on the edges of ellipsis, and in 2 point sides should go into correct vanishing point

>>4459583
don't think so. It doesn't fit his usual head shape

Okay, I have been getting ahead of myself kinda doing more contour/outliney stuff than pure gesture stuff.
Learning to draw again, it's very slippery. I worry that I'm going to fall into incorrect habits (like trying to build up gesture drawing and making it more than what it should be).

One day, I hope to be this good
>>4476275

Almost posted it on Towergirls, but I'm not really satisfied about this drawing.
I've just drawed some shit with a pastel brush I found, just for fun.

>>4458869
Post your real tits

>>4461126
??

>>4461115
"Incorrect habits" are a meme. Just fucking draw.

There's a subject I'm trying to break into: Landscapes. Especially big, fantasy-inspired ones. Take pic related for example. Where should I even begin if I want to draw something like this?

>>4461195
I haven't done anything like that quality wise, but for some landscapes in pixel art I've done before. a good method I like is to build it layer by layer, start with the sky, then usually the water, and then the land, and you just keep building and adding more and more detail

>>4461195
photobashing

>>4461311
Pretty good Asuka niglet. Keep going

Damn so you only get sick because you said le ebin bad words.

fuck hiro and fuck emojicancerfags.

i’m just seeing these after waking up but thanks that’s helpful! my immediate response to tackling things i don’t understand is to go overboard (i gave pretty much each black line a shade) but this makes it look more simple and clean. i’m going to go mess with it now

Here are some reference study kinda things that I did. They were bigger, but I scaled them downwards.

Am I on the right track here?

>>4461401
That’s not how the coronavirus works, retard. You should have social distanced and quarantined yourself today but you think you’re invincible. It has nothing to do with bad words. I hope there are no more ventilators left for you.

>>4461411
fuck you emojifag, enjoy your even-more-dead board tomorrow.

How do you guys do observational studies digitally? I can't make it comfortable with one display. Do you use more?

I'm straight out of the gate new to drawing, how did I do? I messed up with seeing where lines went and how they connected together as well as obviously not getting some other things correct but is this an okay starting point? Should I just continue down the sticky? I just like some sort of guidance to help motivate

>>4461440
Yeah just continue with Keys to Drawing and equivalents, you don't have to do these types of exercises perfectly.

>>4461420
I just use my tv and sit on a chair a few feet away. Used to put my paper on a table but I didn't like always having to look down so now I just hold it with my left hand

>>4458416
I see you fell into the box meme

>>4461506
if it's a meme then what should I do instead? I am going to make sure I can do everything well, before I move on. I haven't done this stuff in years. I want to make sure I have all my bases covered so I'm not surprised later on.

I love drawing flowers and I want to get better. What am I doing wrong?

>>4461533
They're too flat. They need mor e values especially dark ones

>>4461533
I think it doesn't need to be this blurry. Also are you using the eye dropper tool? You shouldn't.

more ass practice

Which pencils do I use to draw in perspective bros?

>>4461577
perspective pencil bro

>>4461581
I dont fucking know the purpose of these pens I'm a fucking digital nigga

Am I still infected, test

>>4461622
Coof coof
You are now

Any tips for trying to draw cute stuff?

How to draw sand dunes

How do I draw?

>>4461115
You're still doing outlines except for that one line in the middle. Watch how Vilppu does gesture. You'll never improve if you don't do it correctly.

>>4461869
Max?

>>4461896
Yes?

>>4461910
make more cartoons they make me say ahahah funny

pure

>>4461915

circles are fucking hard bros

how

>>4461929
those eyes are literally stickers study some real ones just to have abetter idea of the 3D form of them, but do you ever listen to any critique?

A bunch gesture drawings(?) with calves that look like garlics

After months of experimenting I gave up on traditional coloring, took a picture of one of my drawings and tried to color on photoshop, turns out I suck at it too. Any good tutorials for digital coloring on traditional line art?

>>4461968
Use a compass maybe.

ugh

>>4462005
As someone currently going through gesture stage, your proportions are off. Unless you're going for extreme stylized, thicc caricatures then they not too bad.

ok, so I started on 2pp cylinders. today I'll work on that. this first one seems fine.
Just wondering, is there anything wrong with warping ellipses to make it fit, then tracing it over to get used to drawing the curves, I don't want to become reliant upon it, but I also don't want to learn bad habits like this >>4460806 where I make less curvy angles.

>>4463035
it's ok to trace a couple of times, for confidence, but by this you are only learning this specific shape in the specific position. For practice it's great to do draw-a-box beginner exercises, they'll help you build line confidence. Right now you are struggling with drawing lines in general on top of perspective challenges, solving two problems at once is harder then doing each one separately. Keep doing perspective, but also do line training as a different exercise. It's annoying, but faster and less painful in the end.

>>4458220
Don’t do this. Have a loosely written plan of attack, but instead of mapping out working on a monthly basis work on a weekly basis. Give yourself weekly assignments based on what you wish to improve and commit to 30 minutes a day to start. Always start slow and work your way up. It takes time to work up to working 8 hours a day consistently, if you try out the bat you’re going to burn yourself out. Also make incentives for when you complete work for a week. Slow and steady wins the race always mate.

>>4458230
I would like it more if you wouldn’t make your studies so sloppy and poorly imagined.

>>4458282
That depends on your level of commitment and what you are willing to sacrifice. Great artists all have a couple of things in common, they study from previous great artists, they are deliberate on their practice of what they want to make, and they don’t give up easily. You have to grit out the next couple of years of toil and strife. This is usually where most people quit, because they aren’t painting like Anders zorn or drawing like Kim jung Gi.

First thing: you aren’t as good as you think, and you aren’t so bad that you can’t get better. As long as you understand these two concepts, you can make it as a professional. You have to have the humility to ask for advice and if it makes sense to you use it. You have to be willing to make bad art while you figure out how to make great art. Be willing to take the criticism that your work sucks and try to listen to why it sucks to make yourself better. Most of all, practice a shitton. Practice more than anyone else.

>>4458379
Well, give up. Do something else.

Do you really believe you’ll become an amazing artist after making a couple of half hearted paintings? Assuming that is stepping on the millions of professional artists who worked tirelessly for years to achieve the level of skill they have. First off, get over yourself. Everyone that has ever picked up a paintbrush has been at your place at least once. Second thing: you WILL get better. Not that it’s possible, but you WILL get better just so long as you keep going.

Anon, I’ve been in your same boat. I was frustrated for years because my art wasn’t where I thought it should be. But I didn’t quit, and neither should you. Now stop whining and get to work.

>>4458485
You obsess to much over the face. DRAW HANDS. DRAW ARMS. DRAW LEGS. DRAW BODIES. You can draw a cute anime face, good for you. So can everybody else that starts art school.

>>4458522
Decent study. Now do 2 hrs.

>>4458807
Her jaw looks too small anon. No need to get defensive.

>>4462821
I know that my proportions are off and my bodies are too meaty and thicc but I don't think I can get them right under a minute without getting my lines too stiff. I'm hoping that it will get better gradually with practice.

Getting good is a myth.

You guys pretending to be bad to make me feel better.

here is some photo studies i've made on photoshop, with oil brushes
i really want to know more about how to blend colors

>>4463295
and here is another one

>>4463295

needs more darks and general contrast, feels like I am viewing through a thick fog.

>>4459049
I made another one

>>4461996
>do you ever listen to any critique?
well I do, I started drawing from life, doing gestures, etc because anon said that it would improve my drawings, but seems that I forgot about the eyes one(?). Thanks for the reminder then. This time I will not forget.

>>4461410
stop trying to draw tits when you're missing the basic form and gesture of the figure; this applies especially to the bottom right and middle right

Hi, I heard some Anon say that learning anime helped them stylistically. What principles of manga just make art look better?

We have 2 /beg/ threads both with lots of posts and some cross posting, I suck at making choices what do I do?
