So i'll give you the idea. This is done in paint and really rudimentary. You really have to take time when drawing. Take my image as an advice on how to tackle it in the beginning not as the perfect way to go. It's best to read some book about these topics.

What you see are the things I told you about

>>4651925
Orig. Ref.

PERMABEG HYPE 2020

>>4651925
isn't that only for copying

>>4651951
Yes. The pepper exercise is from the book keys to drawing.
You have to draw a pepper thats infront of you (It's best to take a real pepper not a pepper image from google)

>>4651951
not me
>>4651925
>>4651958
Thanks man. Those 4 things you mentioned are pretty much contained in drawabox 1-2 and drawing on the rightside/keys to drawing so just keep going with those right?

>>4651964
>so just keep going with those right?
Yes you should. But always draw objects that are infront of you or lying around. Key chains are also a great way to learn (A lot of negative spaces wich force you to stop symbol drawing).

>>4652001
permabeg
trash it and go read loomis

>>4652001
too much loomis

>>4651834
no, i'm ngmi

any advice for when drawing boxes how to get all of the lines to converge decently? I am trying to do the 250 box challenge but every time I check their convergences they seem to be really off

>>4652001
Good Job on the mouth and the nose. The eyes don't follow the form of the head. Think about the head as an egg. It helps to get the idea across.

>>4652118
>pic shows horizontal line used to estbalish eye position
>mfw I thought the horizontal line was supposed to establish brow position
Is nothing consistent in the name of ever?

>>4652126
in most construction methods center sphere is usually the brow, but they are just tools not rules

>>4652110
make a habit of rotating and flipping the canvas for better line orientation control

>>4652126
The eyes sit directly in the middle of the head.
But don't take my image to learn proportions. It's just to show how the eyes are placed on an egg.

>>4652001
>I've seen some shit.

>>4652110
Draw two points with different lenght and try to connect them with one straight line.

>>4652127
>>4652130
???

you know what.

>>4652141
Sphere of the head and the entire head are two different things.

The center of the sphere is the brow line
The center of the entire head is the eye-line

Rate my circle and cross

>>4652157
5/10. Try again.

>>4652146
>>4652141
this
the sphere is just the cranium with no jaw attached yet

frick me
I forgot to resize my b

>>4652160
What's wrong with it? Show me.

>>4652165
>>4652157
bro I had to squint to see this. learn to take pictures
learn loomis
before you even post

>>4652001
Literally NGMI. Leave.

>>4652172
THIS IS SO HELPFUL, THANK YOU MASTER

How do i into construction? I can copy well enough but when i add features to a loomis head nothing lines up

>>4652192
I'm at this stage right now, seems like you have to wing the size of the circles and features with the same amount of trial and error if you didnt make a loomis head in the first place.

even when putting construction on someone elses image, idk where the top of their head starts through their hair and the answers I get are 'just guess'

this hurdle is really annoying i need to get over it fast

daily loomising

>>4652206
keep it up

How do you create a blog?

>>4652233
if you're beg you don't need to worry about it

>>4652118
A little too late but thanks lad. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

>>4652134
Supposed to be looking down at someone so I guess I failed to grab the expression correctly. Expressions are so finicky and I feel like the mouth could have done a better job but I couldn't figure out how to draw the mouth in anything but a neutral pose in that angle.

>>4652167
Guess I'll just keep drawing like this, since nobody's showing me what's wrong! I'll take the silence as affirmation. Thanks, /ic/ buds. :^)

>>4652257
Way to be an impatient cunt.

Not gonna critique you now cause you can't just bump and ask nicely like everyone else. Seethe

>>4652246
I kinda like it, but I can't tell if what I like about it is supposed to be on purpose or not.

>>4652257
welcome to /beg/ enjoy your stay

Am I doing this right?

>>4652334
The head is pretty close, the nose and mouth placement is alright, but my god what the fuck is with the eyes and neck? The eyes are small and you didn't even put a guideline down to rest them on to keep them straight. The neck is just holy shit what is going on. Do a little anatomy study and learn about how the neck connects to the head and then come back to that one.

Drawing more

>>4652290
>post shows gratitutde
>even leaves a smiley face
>called an "impatient, seething cunt"
Oh, well. Probably wasn't worth it, anyway. :^)
>>4652330
Thanks!
I'll keep my knife ready for sl/ic/ing.

>>4652363
You're not worth it :)

is there any way for me to learn anatomy without putting me to sleep, these video courses are insanely tiring to watch

>>4652381
>It probably wasn't worth it.
>"You're not worth it!"
It's almost like you people take everything personally, while telling everyone else they take everything personally.
I asked for the advice. You don't want to give it.
When someone doesn't want your advice, you get mad that they don't take it.

I think you just like to feel like people need you and you lash out when they don't or question what you say.

>>4652392
What video course are you doing right now? Could be the instructor making it feel sleepy and boring.

i want to get out of stiff and lifeless hell

>>4652418
if she is casting a sleep spell it is working

>>4652396
>Getting this upset over nobody critiquing your drawing of a squashed sphere

Try harder

>>4652418
Push the pose! Gesture gesture gesture. When you think you have enough, push it more. Get that movement in there. Inject some personality.

>>4652399
Marc and Vilppu, cant help mself from getting tired of hearing them.

I'm tired of this shit.

>>4652242
some people had asked me about it, im just curious

>>4652457
must be hard to draw with that concert of negativity going on in your head

>>4652457
Upper body looks alright, legs look weird. Looks like the right leg is crossing over the left one, which I'm pretty sure wasn't your intention.

What I did well and what sucks. From what I gather, the chin needs to be lower to give the jawline space to breathe, nose needs to extend more into the face, and fuck everything below the neck

>>4652426
lmao
Not worth it!

>>4652463
nice
crab BTFO'd hard

>>4652530
looks good bro keep loomising
>>4652517
distance from edge of face to the eye is about one eye width for profile view and jaw kind of extends too far forward. it should be in the same plane as right before the beginning of the nose. i think your other self critique is correct

I read fun with a pencil and now I'm going back and drawing. There is a long road ahead of me. I don't think it ends. Truly, I am having Fun With A Pencil.

>>4652530
nice, keep it up anon

>>4652334
yes

rate my meme on a scale of 0 to benis

>>4652573
dang, you're miles ahead of me
I can't even draw a decent squashed sphere..

>>4652593
Work on smoother lines and draw bigger overall. You're placing stuff in the right place which is good.

Help with the girl on the left's thighs please.

>>4652621
MIKE LOU & OG WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THEM??

>>4652621
I thought it was this

>>4652621
what is the point of this
its not erotic at all, just weird

>>4652200
>>4652192
pls answer

>>4652645
Do skull studies, do facial muscle studies, learn the Riley method of drawing faces. Finding the top of someones head through their hair should be easy once you understand proportions and know how to measure it out to approximate it.

>>4652645
Well you see People are people so why should it be.
You and I should get along so awfully?
People are people so why should it be, you and I should get along so awfully? So we're different colors, and we're different breeds. And different people, have different needs, It's obvious you hate me, though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so what I could I have done?

>>4652621
being a coombrain lowers the quality of your art
also why the bob's burgers style

thoughts on morpho simplified forms? It's like Hampton but easier for people who can't follow it

>>4652695
It's the best anatomy book imo. Better than Bridgman, Hampton, Hogarth, etc. It came out literally 2018 so mainstream established art teachers haven't gotten around to it yet, but they will

>>4652695
great but dont understand how he builds arms

>>4652706
>>4652695
Do either of you have a download link for it?

>>4652716
artbook thread should have a mega of it somewhere. video course thread torrent def has it

>>4652695
can you link that?

>>4652695
I really need Morpho Hands and Feet.

I did this yesterday, what do you guys think?

>>4652731
Very cool.

>>4652735
Thank you!

I mostly was scribbling but was kinda messing around with foreshortening limbs from memory. Anyone have any tips?

>>4652752
When drawing limbs, I imagine you're drawing them out from where they connect with the body. Like, shoulder, then upper arm, elbow, forearm, and finally hand.

I find it easier to first draw the hand, and then the rest of the limb connecting to the body.

>>4652762
Interesting, I don't think I've ever tried drawing the hand first, thanks

>>4652731
Very cool anon. What are you drawing with? Photoshop?

How do I draw girls that are cute

>>4652797
I know parts of it suck, but that's okay!

>>4652805
Just saying that one sentence makes you better than 90% of /ic/.

So sketch on a regular layer, then when youre making the final drawing use a vector layer?
and to colour just lasso everything and fill in individually? is this the general process?

>>4652796
Freaky face but neat design. Eyes too far apart, you probably don't need me to tell you that though.

Anyone have any guides or infographs on line intensity? When to make them thicker vs thinner, that sort of thing?

Is there no one book for learning construction?

>>4652830
There’s a really good info pic of a muscle dude with shades on but I don’t have it.

>>4652833
There’s many different ways to construct.

Slowly reaching my goal of both making my own scat and diaper hentai, while also getting Patreon bucks for it since there are not a ton out there that do comms that aren't fully booked all the time.

Critique, I think the legs look okay to my eyes, but it looks like the torso is slightly too long? Hands I need to practice more on, took forever to make that even halfway decent.

I don’t know if I’m getting better or worse.

Anyone rate my sketch? First time using cartoon like style

>>4652848
>scat and diaper hentai

>>4652849
youre drawing in perspective which is always a good sign

>>4652848
>>4652848
Arms too thin
Legs need work especially in perspective

>>4652857
That linework looks nice and shows you already have some confidence. Not much useful critique to give considering I'm also /beg/, but it looks appealing to me.

>>4652860
Is it not a major goal of any man to be able to draw the porn he wants and also make money off of it as a side-bonus if he gets good enough? Fetish-chads win in the art world money-wise unless you're a grandmaster getting paid for vanilla shit and non-NSFW.

>>4652857
Heres 2 more i did after.

Aside from the torpedo tits this looks really good, better than most people on twitter posting their beginner anime art.

>>4652869
I think the lighting crown usually follows the egg shape of the cranium

>>4652869
>Torpedo tits
Good taste, brother

>>4652869
whats your usual style?

>>4652878
>>4652875
>>4652867
Thanks guys, ill start working extra hard.

>>4652810
well the work certainly does stand out...

>>4652882
Manly real life people, im trying to branch off into western and eastern styles of caricatures.

>>4652890
Still /beg/ but also super sick, keep it up man. You'll be out soon.

Crit pls

>>4652902
Should confess that I cheated and used undo a few times

>>4652902
Did you copy your hand, or the picture of your hand?

>>4652908
For that sin, you should undo your life.

>>4652910
The picture. I know depth of field fucks things up a bit but I didn't think it would matter very much

>>4652918
I might just be coping because you did way better at that exercise than me but I think it would've been a lot easier if I didn't have to hold my hand still while I was drawing with the other.

>>4652953
I like it
on the second one you "inked" over the crease of the neck is a little to the right. if you look at it, you have it going straight down, but it would follow the spine/chin a little bit and slant downwards to the left more

>>4652953
The shapes and forms look solid but I think your line quality could use some work

>>4652902
I really like your lines, and overall think it looks pretty good, though some wrinkles aren't even in the picture. I've heard it's better to start on trad than on digital and it's better to draw from life than from reference, but practice is practice

think right arm is short i think but am getting better

>>4652960
Thank you I'll have I to keep studying neck and torsos, I use mangamaterials as reference but I'm not sure if that's too stylized for a beginner. I'll study muscles also
>>4652961
Yeah I'm still new to using CSP even though I've had it for almost two years, usually I drew on a small canvas but I've been trying to draw bigger so I've set it to 6000x6000 because they said to this guy >>4652593 and it feels better, I just don't know which is a good image resolution to scale. I did read that most artists downscale their work so their line work won't look so messy but I'll have to work on that too.

>>4652192
loomis heads aren't everything. draw 20 faces for three minutes each every single day (1 hr) starting with a circle and a box and you'll eventually create your own method of constructing a head, out of necessity of hitting the 3 minute time limit. it will probably involve a circle and a box. i sometimes start with the "T" formed by the brow ridge and nose because it determines so many other things. you'll also find that you'll want to study individual elements of the head rather than everything all at once. so like, 20 mouths at 3 minutes each showing the more or less correct place on the face (the mouth wraps AROUND the front of the face), 20 pairs of eyes at three minutes each, etc. then all this comes together and you can do heads a lot better.

>>4652848
>Slowly reaching my goal of both making my own scat and diaper hentai

>>4652964
Ye, proportions are out of wack. forearm is too long, upper arm is too short. hips are too small. etc. Keep drawing, all of these issues will take care of themselves the more you observe and the more you construct. At this stage, its the number of drawings you do that make you better, so keep crackin

>>4652905
This is not bad at all anon. Things are off a few milimeters here and there, enough for most people to notice. If you're doing portraits, its worthwhile to be very careful with your measurements and constructions. And get everything figured out in line first before adding value, you're rushing to shading too early, and your shading is too messy. Get a clean line drawing first. Case in point: the hair is just a bunch of scribbly shapes, when really hair should be rhythmical, almost lyrical.

>>4652974

I don't think it's too stylized, structure is structure

Just think about how you build the head, and try to build the torso in a similar way, that's how you know where everything goes

fuck its so hard taking pictures of my art when my phone's back camera is broken

anyway, trying to reference and break down some spirited away

>>4652359
Draw less please

>>4653045
It's not good enough???

>>4653086
he's just being a jerk

It's kind of unremarkable though. Try drawing more dynamic expressions and full poses

>>4653036
thanks for crit im gonna have to grind hair

what yall think?

>>4653113
Face looks great, everything else; what the fuck

>>4653113
Face looks good. Unless you're intending for it to be a buttplug, the tail should be an extension of the spine.

>>4653209

>>4653196
Begone, crab.

The fact that you guys always post this proves how low beg you are. I’m not shitting on this guy’s drawing, but it does belong in beg. Stop trying to prevent people who actually need the critique from posting and go back to drawing

>>4653209
>>4653211
Try drawing larger. You also appear to be symbol drawing a bit, particularly the eyebrows, eyes, mouth, and ears. Especially the eyebrows. And for instance her right ear is barely visible beyond the earlobe, but it looks like you drew the whole thing anyways.

>>4653202
what type of blog

>>4653238
>when ints come into a beg thread and try to soak up their compliments and then get mad when they are called out
this thread is for people who can barely draw shapes and faces

>>4653261
How do I know if I'm int or beg?

>>4652418
Both arms stretched out makes it stiff, try relaxing one of them.

Why am I so bad at drawing from reference (2), and how come after drawing from reference I can’t easily move what I drew in 3D space and draw it in different poses (3)? It makes me frustrated and sad. Anyone else can fucking do this so why can’t I?

>>4652716
>>4652728
imagine not knowing about libgen

Tryna make the poses more dynamic. Maybe about 2 hours into prokos gesture classes and bored as shit. Is there a quicker way to get art gainz

wut when did that happen wtf

>>4653274

>>4653270
also ignore the ref photo

I want to make the jump over to CSP, would anyone be down to help me figure out how to make my sketch brush in CSP?

Okay, I'm giving up here. I don't understand clothes, and the shading tutorial I watched was on Musashi, who has tits. Guess what this chick here doesn't have? That's right, tits. How do her clothes sit on her body then? No clue. How do I even place color after this step without it looking awful? Also no clue.

I'll just go back and read some books, and then practice at a smaller scale instead of trying to finish things. I was stupid to jump ahead before going through basic exercises.

>>4653292
Bro as long as you had fun and maybe learned something it was worth it, the piece isn’t going anywhere do more studies like you said and come back to it later.

tried drawing bigger without a time restraint

>>4652110
Use a true perspective drafting method like Scott Robertson does and ignore Muslim box peddling websites, establish a horizon line, measure the vanishing point angles and construct a grid, read perspective made easy and then how to draw by Robertson. Drawing 250 shit boxes is going to make you really good at wasting your life instead learn linear perspective in a stepwise and concerted method. What autists and Redditors don't understand is life is not RuneScape and u don't get xp everytime you draw a box, so you can just do a million and gain art levels. Would you learn algebra by adding 5+5 over and over or would you learn how the symbols work

>>4653425
good work anon gmi

this is my start!

>>4653393
This looks very nice anon

I recieved my chink drawing tablet today, i tried it out but everything seems weird and probably requires some time to get used to it. Still have no idea what kind of hardness/pressure i should work with or should it be changed on the go. Give me a little commission so i could test out my abilities (and realize how shit i am at drawing)

>>4653594
If it's a huion make sure to download the drivers and adjust the pressure sensitivity
Its default goes to max pressure way too easily

>>4653202
I'm not a blogger.
I just know how to target an audience and I can say that you need to find out your audience. It's needs to be as specific as possible, not necessarily laser-focused or niche.

If you're going to be a blog artist, you need to find a platform that allows you to communicate with those people. You need to find ways to plug yourself on different other sites that contain members of the audience you're trying to reach. Free art is a huge help. You have to advertise yourself and your blog through the art.

>>4652783
Copy cute girls and try changing something about the original picture

ngmi

>>4653686
nose and mouth look ok

gave this one another try, ended up looking a bit skellier and with his head not as tilted backwards but I still liked it

where is the fucking downloads folder in CSP for windows. Goddamn every faggot going hurrdurr you can see the fucking downloads folder in the goddamn program I don't want that shit I can't get any of the downloads to install so I wanna try dragging from windows fuck.

5-7 min poses.

>>4653717
you should make your atlas shrug

carrying all that weight is really hard

>>4653697

>>4653731
The guy in the reference was carrying an exercise ball, so the pose was a bit different.

I think i might be doomed

>>4653748
just keep at it

>>4653697
This looks really good, anon, great job. The only thing that feels wrong is his neck and trapezius muscles (makes the neck look way too long and deformed).

I'm stuck on drawing on the right side since it keeps being really inconvenient. It tells me to use stuff like a viewfinder and a picture plane, but i prefer it more barebones. Keys to drawing seems more convenient but It is praised far from as much as drawing on the right side. Do i really need the tools for Drawing on the right side or can i ignore that part?

>>4653765
You don't need it but it certainly helps a lot. I tried doing the hand exercise without it, but my drawn hand ended up with fucked up proportions. Had to find like a big plastic lid in the end as a bootleg viewfinder and that helped.

>>4653691
and the rest is shit?

Finally gathered the courage to try drawing without reference after two weeks of relying on them too much... Any feedback/help?

Tried to render an Ajin page as practice since I still have to learn how to render and colors, what could I do to make this pic more appealing and have better lighting?

>>4653813
Drawing from imagination is the dream
Rammus could be longer so it matches the mouth corner and usually younger people have a sharper neck area under the chin, but these are mostly nitpicks

>>4653813
Not bad! The eyeballs and eyelids look a bit flat, so maybe focus on that in the future.

>>4653818
shadows are too soft, make them sharper

>>4653756
Thank you, anon. I agree with his neck looking long and deformed, I think I made it a a bit bloated to make up for its lenght instead of fixing it haha. Tried working on it a bit more here, not sure if it looks better. thanks for the feedback!

>>4653933
they look fine but shouldn't the horizontal guide line be the brow not the eyes? or are you constructing it a different way

Is this a good base or do I need to fix something before I move forward.

Copying some more stuff.

>>4654012

>>4654017
ty, I'll keep that in mind.

Okay what works better really.
practing Superimposing lines or practicing parallel lines
I cannot escape the sensation that when superimposing the nib of my pen errs to the depressions made in the paper by the previous line, which results in repeating the same, incorrect line again and again

It’s not much but these are my attempts of a photostudy. I could use some help. Each attempt look worse than before. For the “apples” I used a soft brush to blend, the other I tried to use opacity.

Hello, I think this is my first post in this board.
For the past few months I've been trying my hand at gouache painting, and I like the medium very much.
My biggest inspirations in painting are impressionism and some types of neoimpressionism/early abstract styles. I'll post some of the paintings I've made that I think are the better ones, so any critique will be welcome.

I don't think that looks bad, Anon.

Is it worth paying for Manga Material's anatomy stuff as a primary study resource?

I've been practicing with Loomis' Fun With a Pencil, must say I'm enjoying myself.

what pen are you using? love the line quality

>>4654012
More keys to drawing copy. Bottles are hard as hell how do i draw them?

>>4651913
who likes this?

>>4654214
Just a normal B hardness pencil. Exact brand is Staedtler Mars Lumograph. No idea where that falls on the quality spectrum, but it feels nice to use.

When doing contour drawing, how do I know when the line is proper? I either draw too short or too long.

Stupid question but are exercises like pic supposed to be practiced over long periods of time or just a one-off thing? Is this what I'm supposed to grid? Drawing lines, ellipses, grids, boxes.

Thank you guys! Ive taken note of this and will practice more.

Sexy hand, not sure what's going on tho. You should keep working on it bro

>>4654411
Hey now, rats are clean and clever animals. The only reason they live in filth is because we put all that filth there.

>>4654425
But they can't draw.

>>4654054

glad to see someone here actually putting in work and trying to get gud. Skip the outlines, the 2nd one is the best.

>>4654392
usually limb length is way shorter in a standard construction model unless you are intentionally lengthening them
elbow plane is base of the ribcage
wrist lines up with the ball joint of the hip

Drew this a bit ago. I'll take crit and abuse if you like.

It is fun to read keys to drawing

>>4654580
See, I want some of you to understand that if you post something like that, it is most likely that you will not get any critique or comentary. "The face is wrong, you're symbol drawing". You already know that, right? And it looks like it wasn't your objective to make it look accurate, either, so there's not a lot to say.
Same happens with >>4654217, for the sake of giving a more explicit example.
Unless you tell the rest of us what do you want to achieve with the drawing and what do you want to get better at/what you think may be wrong with what you did, there's nothing and everything to critique at the same time.

the hand looks nice unless you really examine it. the side with the pointer finger and thumb is much longer than the side with the pinky and though the pinky is closer to us. the problem is you drew the bottom of the palm tilted to the left and you drew the fingers tilted to the right.

>>4654362
It’s not a one-off thing—it’s good as warm up every now and then, but don’t dwell on these kind of exercises too long or you might get burnt out...

Study other topics that interests you too (eg figure drawing if you’d like to draw humans some day). Draw for fun!

Only got into drawing at the beginning of 2020. Haven't had much opportunity to practice since March. This is the first sketch I've done in months.

>>4654444
is pixiv fine for traditional art?

>>4654362

why would you need to practice this? you're just drawing an X to connect the corners in a box. its useful to find the halfway point in perspective. good that you know to do that when you need to but utterly pointless to repeat.

not new to /ic/ but first time posting in /beg/ and I only just recently started drawing since well over a year.

Had a go at doing a pair of eyes from the Bargue plates. It was a painful process. How did I do?

>>4654012
the guy who said it being zoomed in too much is wrong. that doesn't matter at all. the problem is you didn't put the pupils in the center of the eyes. your right pupil is way off to the irght. also the tear ducts should be so pointy. psace between the eyes isnt big enough. brow shape is wrong. its not terrible i dont want to discourage you, but its just some obvious things that you drew differently from the reference

>>4653854
might be too good for beg

Out of the way, faggots.
Make room for the PermaBeg(tm)!!

I think I extended the forehead a bit too much and make the "turn-away" eye to large. What else?

>>4654674
youre a beginner. i dont want to be too harsh. biggest things that stand out to me are the arms are pretty unappealing. you did't draw any shoulder at all. and where the wole upper arm including where the shoulder would be is skinnier than the forearm. and the the neck looks so thick compared to the size of the torso, but its also really skinny compared to the head. so check out the proportions of cartoon characters you like. something about this is not working in terms of neck size. legs are also very skinny, and it makes me a little uncomfortable to see what looks like a young girl with her legs spread like that. those are my suggestions for now

>>4654714

i forgot

>>4654740
ok, fair enough
anything else?

>>4654740
Explain

>>4654756
Thanks.
I didn't care to argue with him over it. Just wanted to see if he could find something actually worthwhile to criticize.

>>4654753
I think your main issue is you are drawing her side planes as though they are flat in 2D space
I drew a little box to help visualize
when the face turns that corner at the brow/cheekbone ridge, and at the hair line for the top plane, they should shorten into the background

>>4654758
Yeah, ok. So, I basically just didn't shorten the "turning-away" half of her face enough to resemble her turning her head away from the viewer's perspective.

Sorry, it's because my pussy tastes like Pepsi cola. My eyes are wide like cherry pies.

>>4654765
This is a needlessly complex way to just say you think the eyes are too big, if that's what you're saying.

>>4654740>>4654753

Try to avoid those scratchy lines. Draw with your elbow and shoulder, not with your wrist and fingers. It'll be harder at first but your lines will be better in the long run and you'll avoid injury yatta yatta

>>4654796
You got it. I was doing it for a bit, but I keep falling back into the habit of wristing, lol. I don't have a lot of line confidence, anymore.
