Been working on coloring.

How good is Alla Prima?

I tried to draw Himiko in my "style" and she's a monster now.
Can you redline me proportions?

Still looking for any suggestions on course work/lessons to improve.

>>4834566
My attempt. Heads up I’m not the best in anatomy but I’m decent.

>>4834633
So head and shoulders are kinda ok. I Need to work the gigant limbs and torso.

>>4834553
>>4834558
Good to see i'm still living rent free in autistic anon's head.

>>4834644
You need to work on your anatomy overall. Use quick poses to get references and use anime drawings as well since you are drawing in a more anime fashion. Also learn how to draw breasts.

>>4834662
And you’re still /beg/ after all this time.

>>4834668
Come anon give me something

>>4834673
>after all this time
you mean after 3 months?
Yea i'm still /beg/ alright.
How long had you been here? Mr crab
How come you never leave /beg/?

>>4834675
What? I’m giving you resources to actually study the anatomy you need help with. The girl can have a short torso and long legs or she can have more proportional features (proportions obviously vary). But you very obviously lack knowledge of anatomy.
Quickposes.com will give you references. Try to draw a woman there. Then draw the shapes over the body to get an idea about the anatomy. Then trace over the body to get an idea of the line work. Line it up over your drawing of the woman to see your errors. Then try to redraw the image. You’ll see some improvement. Pic related was a body study I did.

This is what I've got so far...

Is it impossible to draw lineart of real life portraits and copy their likeness without resorting to blocking tones? I tried tracing and the lineart alone doesn't come even close to what the person looks like. Unlike copying anime/cartoons for instance.

>>4834731
You mean like this? Your tracing might be bad. Post an example.

>>4834731
It's possible, but you'll have to stylize it, which is harder than just copying it. Lines don't exist in real life, so don't make your life hard and paint it instead.

Can any anons comment on the extent to which the right two heads have perspective or "three dimensionality"? The leftmost head is one I posted last week for reference, and at that time anons told me that the drawing wasn't convincing as a 3D form, and I've received that feedback on some of my other posts too.

Since then I've been trying to convey more realistic forms by paying closer attention to the placement of features, as well as by applying some basic shading to try and show depth. However, I think part of my problem is that I struggle to identify what exactly it is about a drawing that makes it look 3D, so I haven't been able to self-critique as well as I would like.

Am I on the right track with the progression of heads here? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Was the first pose better? I might have wasted an hour trying to make it more interesting

>>4834731
Like, no value what so ever? This is the closest I can go . ref is >>4829152

Run a line from the right vanishing point to the station point, rotate that line until it hits the horizon/eye line.

>>4834856
you don't have to. Erik Olson literally says this in almost every video, the only reason you do this stuff is so that you can eyeball it better because you've done all these measured diagrams.

my hope extinguished in 5 seconds

I've been improving at a decent rate sketching stuff and just learning a few things per sketch.
Getting a feel for form and light, etc. Studies of paintings and photography.

I see so many people obsessed with books and tutorials and exercises like drawing boxes and form-figurines.
Its like they're retaking college art 101 over and over instead of getting a C in 101 and learning more in 102 and in your own time.
Started to clock these people in most learning threads. I'm gonna steer clear of those people's advice lol.
They seem like losers

Excuse the wagie lighting

how the fuck am i meant to draw the yes and the mouth

Why does the chest area lacks form?

>>4835308
yes

>>4835321
fascinating

How the fuck do people draw these?
I can put paint on a digital canvas and mold it into a figure that has good proportion, but when I try to draw these it looks like a blind toddler with Parkinson's tried to draw stick figures.

>>4835334
Figure drawing?

>>4835335
Yeah, I feel like all these figure drawing references are people that have been drawing for 10 years flexing.
Like I don't know what to shoot for at a minimum.
I can't draw just lines and have them portray a figure, form, motions, etc. I can do it with molded blobs of value, and color just not lines.

>>4835342
have you tried Hampton Analitical Figure Drawing course?

Don't worry about it m9. You can't tell if someone's gonna make it just by looking at one drawing. Besides, this thread is about posting your work and trying to improve yourself, not judging whether someone is going to be a successful artist or not. The fact that you're in this thread trying to improve means that you're already on your way. Don't get bogged down by nameless dudes in threads telling you that you're not able to make it who don't know anything about you at all. Keep up the effort, never give up, hold onto the enjoyable aspects of art, and always keep in mind the reason you're doing this. Good luck.

friend was mooned by a chick in the neighborhood once, i imagine he saw something like this. wish a chick would moon me.

dunno where salt is. ill just put this here.

Are you cooming yet?

So I've been kinda plugging away at various practices and studies and I was getting frustrated with never finishing a piece because I had too much still to learn. So I decided to finish something, finally, and this was the result. I'm actually quite happy with how it came out but I wanted to ask you guys if you see specific areas that look really wrong, or just need improvement?

>>4835616
No.

>>4835630
holy crap that's huge, I'm sorry

>>4835630
her kneecaps are facing quite a way away from the rest of her, unless the goop is causing that.

Ah, no, that's not goop, those are highlights on her knees. Are they turned too far to the right or are they protruding too much?

you're not feeling the forms

Any general tips for practicing? I've been spending ~45 minutes a day for 1.5 months drawing from life and going through Keys to Drawing with pen/pencil and I don't feel like I'm getting that much better.

Within the space of two weeks I've done 10 digital portraits. Pic related is the tenth.

>>4836035
https://youtu.be/3FWXRYqqjbA

nearly 2 months sounds ways too long to get through one book. pick up framed perspective or something to learn more than just simple observation. explore other teaching methods on various subjects.

>>4836139
Foreshorten more

>>4834553
I want to get back into drawing but I don't want to draw weeb or anime stuff.

What can I draw that will impress normies?

>>4836285
Do live model drawing, autoportraits or still life using the actual models, not photographs. By doing that, you will eventually build up more understanding on how things work in space and would be able to draw anything you want.

How legit is the flip canvas to see mistakes thing? I did that and my drawing looks deformed but I noticed that my reference (character from a stop motion movie) does too.

>>4836142
>>4836178
Thanks. Will do, guys

Third times the charm. Started drawing today on tablet, any advice, tips, shit like that?

i

>>4834553
still kind of stiff but I think that's partly cause of the lack of ref and I get too easily caught up in detail. I want to paint this one but I don't know anything about painting OR backgrounds. Will probably do the ctrl+paint stuff on painting and try figuring it out from that. Tired of lineart, want to make my art look more cool

how do i study perspective? learning is easy, but putting it into practice is where i’m lost. is it all boxes? should i be looking for reference images?

>>4836730
Do observational drawings of environments, preferrably ones with tons of man made objects like cities.

Go explore any city on google earth, take a screen shot and set up your perspective and draw.

>>4834553
Wip

What are some obvious mistakes I make?
Also, how do I fix my lines being all squiggly? I already try zooming in a lot and doing the biggest archs my tablet allows.

>I go on /beg/
>people in thread are not /beg/
I should stfu and draw more.

>>4836142
>>4836178
How is this for forshortening? Lol

>>4835730
Is this from a ref? as it stands the view of the character is pretty flat, you can't really feel the forms when the perspective is so dead on flat like this. nice ass though. just try some more dynamic views and poses, gesture is a struggle for all of us

>>4836759
who here is not beg?

>>4836775
literally nothing is in scale, things get shorter further away, just go learn some basic perspective, learn boxes, and learn to place bodies within boxes

what do you move onto after figure drawing?

Started doing figure studies from reference and gesture studies the other day Both drawings are two days apart with semi realistic being the first figure study i've done in a while, and the later one being more focus on gesture and maintaining my style. would love some criticism.

Colors and shadows are not the best I know, but is the rest any good? What could have I done better?

>>4836896
The tuck in folds on the t-shirt are pretty awful

>>4836856
whatever you want? you have to ask yourself what kind of art you want to do

figure drawing is just the starting point because most people mostly want to draw people. It's not even a necessary starting point. You could be a decent landscape or architectural painter without ever learning to paint the human figure. Just be aware that this, in extreme cases, may lead to genocide

>>4836901
>what kind of art you want to do
draw comic books, I figured it was recommended to start figure drawing because it teaches stuff that can be applied to other aspects

I want to do "concept art" because I'm a programmer already and just wanna make shit that looks cool for fun. what's the most important thing to learn besides basics like perspective, light values etc?

>>4836753
Please reply.

>>4836753
stop drawing anime for the time being and focus on fundies

>Also, how do I fix my lines being all squiggly
Does your program have a stabilization option for brushes? Try boosting that up, I usually keep it around 20 but will go up to 70 if I'm doing a long line.

>>4836919
Will do and thanks, that tool would seem to help a lot.
I am using Paint Tool Sai 2 since it seemed like most people who do anime-style go for that and I think it has that option.
If there are any better programs I'd like to know.

>>4836935
Personally I use Clip Studio Paint. I've had no problems with it and it's a one time purchase of 50 bucks. There's a free trial if you want to try it out.

But if Sai 2 is working for you then don't feel obligated to change. I haven't used it so I can't tell you if CSP is more feature rich or not.

I have to keep the dimensions of the canvas the same unfortunately, and I can't rotate it to do a landscape, so part of the person is going to be cut off ):

I am trying to create a character, she's a Nixie. She's supposed to resemble a frog, so I was trying to have powerful legs with scrawny calves, long frog fingers and feet, no breasts, etc.

The head on the body sketch looks off, and her face is bothering me too. Not sure if the anatomy is right, and I want to fix anything before I start on the lineart. Any tips would be welcome! Thank you

recently started taking my art serious again a few months ago after a long depression and remembered this place. its probably too late in the process for me to go back and fix anything here (especially because i’m so tired of looking at it), but do you guys see anything glaring i should be working on?
thanks in advanced

>>4836900
I admit I did clothes in general very poorly

>>4836900
Are you looking for tips in the colors/shadows department? It sounds like not but I would rather be sure because improving in those areas would help this picture immensely. Try making the hands more expressive, hands can be really fun and add a lot to the characters vibe. You also should work on lines, I can tell your line work isn't as confident as it should be.

>>4836954
uygUh now that I'm looking at it the shoulders look too small/sloping, but I want to keep them small because I'm struggling to keep her looking feminine. Dilemmas...

>>4836956
The head is too small of the shoulders are too wide, but that's pretty much it.

t. no clue what I'm doing or saying

>>4837029

Does it look too long? I have a tendency to make them too long from the side to compensate

>>4837036
nah length seems fine

>>4836918
You're doing alright. Don't listen to the guy telling not to draw anime. Actually, look at more anime.

>>4837038
Bit better? I know I'm not supposed to edit these but I have a hard time seeing whats right and wrong

>>4837047
Thanks for the drawing. I think he's kinda right in that I can't just draw anime and expect to actually get to a high level, but not drawing anime seems like it would just kill my motivation since that's the whole point.

>>4837067
>/asg/
You'll enjoy drawing what you like and still learn something.

>>4837067
You can't rely on motivation if you want to get really good at art anyway. if its just a hobby though, that's fine. Just don't be disappointed when you can't draw crazy good.

It can be fun learning about anatomy and drawing realistically and then applying it to anime. I love finding the relations between the two, and how both real life and cartoons have fluidity and important connections. Anime in particular exaggerates these real life fluid lines and concepts, that's what makes it so fun to look at and draw. Keep learning!

>>4836954
Tried to fix some stuff but I think I'm just getting into a rut. Sorry for all the posts, just want to move onto the next steps

>>4836818
Yea, I know. I was joking. All I did was take a picture of the drawing from a different angle.

>>4837072
Thanks, that thread looks great.
>>4837077
>Just don't be disappointed when you can't draw crazy good.
My main goal is being able to draw a manga style comic without it being an affront to the eye. Hopefully I'll archive that, but I'm a long way off from even being able to comprehend the rest of what you wrote, pretty much.

>>4836692
how long have you been drawing

>>4837094
You'll need a less vague goal if you want to get good.

>Have good idea i came up with

>Hmmm...
>That shit's too complicated, fuck it. I'll just put it in my notebook and come back to it
you gotta tackle to problem eventually man. learn how to carry the 1. break it down into simpler parts. get a calculator for reference.

>>4836978
Yeah, the problem is that I'm still a newbie in digital art, I really don't know much about brushes, tools and layer management, prior to this I've started coloring really recently, while usually I would just do the lineart. For my lines I think it's a pen pressure thing, where sometimes they are less "black", and are shaky in general. Maybe I'm shit with resolution of the canvas too, cause sometimes the lines appear too pixelated. Btw I draw with a Surface Pro with the Microsoft pen, I know it's not the best, but I have these.

>>4837125
I could actually see that too! I used to have that exact same problem, I learned to work with it but I wish that I had just gotten a better drawing program/fixed the settings. it's funny how much this reminded me of my own art lol

Maybe try messing around with the settings on your pen? Or making thinner lines that you can double over without those awkward spikes poking out.

>>4837101

True. I should be building mileage but I just get a primal rage when I can envision something in my head and fuck it up. Then again I've only been going for 4 months so I can't expect much. I'll try to shit out a rendered piece and post it here tomorrow.
>>4837144

I feel like I’m better able to control my pencil and keep a better sense of perspective when I draw siting up.

I feel like I can better control the stylus and keep a better sense of perspective and anatomy when I draw sitting up. I’m usually lying down.

Ears, Fucking god damn ears!

>>4836566
Really nice chairs anon I like your aesthetic

>>4837136
Thanks man I really appreciated your tips, I'll put the lineart on the things I need to get better at, same as colours and, obviously, anatomy, can't escape from that.

>>4834553
can you use the box form to make a body or is oval used monsylu. i learned the robo bean and thought it was used to make the chest and bottom area then convert that box into a oval

>>4837202
I want to make calming chair and pictures and then make rooms with th tgood furniture

>>4837608
>seems really rushed.
had to crank it out so i could crank one out.

>>4837563
Fregoli delusion

>>4837679
looks impressive but that will rather help you as an architect, not artist

>>4837718
the face is so bad you had to censor it? lmao
body is okay. Are you new to drawing in general?

>>4837750
looks horrible compared to the original. But it depends what you were going for

>>4837438

>>4837750
Thats one hell of a hard round brush

Any tips for this sketch? I want to make Dakini (right) a bit more cuter, but I dunno how.

>>4837750
you need to blend the colors

>>4837059
this is better yes

>>4837750
work with bigger sections of light and dark holy fuck, it literally looks like youve gone and drawn every single line individually

>>4837750
is this a joke about hard round brushes? are you trying to make a point?

>>4838045
>it literally looks like youve gone and drawn every single line individually
how do you draw lines simultaneously?

>>4838112
as i said by grouping the lines up into bigger 'shapes'

>>4838112
also get better reference, the lighting on that picture is disgusting and everything is just so blended and lit, get some dramatic lighting with clean shadows

>>4837750
Cumfarti?

>>4837438
Well, at least I got complimented. Although I can't help but feel these critiques are arbitrary.
And I thought talent wasn't a real thing?

>>4838160
talent is a trap to make people stop trying hard because they think they can get by on their innate ability. don't fall for it. just work hard. drop your ego. do your best. always be learning and striving for improvement. its the only way. Break down complicated things into simple components. No talent, only hard work.

>>4835764
not telling you

How's this look, /ic/?

>>4838513
very right is good very left is /beg/ af

>>4838513
i like the black lines but redraw the left ones hands and torso

>>4837316
Why don't you try and draw something interesting that has many strait lines. That way you can work on lines and not want to blow your brains out in a week. It will help you work on more than one thing at a time.

>>4838517
>>4838529
Thanks anons!

Y'know I kept tweaking and fiddling with the left girl for the longest time, but I think I'm just gonna redraw her completely at this point.

>>4837438
>picture of girl spreading her ass
>Soul. Talented.

>>4837361
This is me trying my hardest.

>>4838708
As the weirdo who enjoys drawing girls getting abused by slime, I approve.

>>4838669
legs are too short

>>4837679
I can smell the erik olson course

Doing 2-point perspective. I noticed that there is a lot of distortion so that the right wing looks huge compared to the rest of the plane, and the elevators are going to look huge, too, as if I’m very close to the plane with a wide lens. Am I going to have to redraw using vanishing points that are farther away from each other to act more as a telephoto lens? Or does this amount of distortion look OK?

>>4838546
i think left girls face was the cutest though, but i believe in you to do even better this time

shapes are pretty ugly but best i can do for now

>>4837446
>>4837548
Get fucked kid, each one of my sperms has more creativity than you do in your whole body.

>>4838849
Thank you! I've really been struggling with making appealing faces so that's nice to hear.

My first anime. Is this good? What do you guys think?

>>4839018
looks traced

>>4839018
looks like you just traced a picture and put shitty cartoony eyes on it.

>>4838873
Uhm, sweety, the plural of sperm is also sperm.

What about this one?

>>4839033
Yep. It's traced. Nothing to see here.

>>4839043
How can you tell? Is it the pixels? And is there anything wrong with tracing? Greg Land built a career off it!

>>4839053
You're fooling nobody but yourself by doing this. You will never get good like this.

>>4839053
>is there anything wrong with tracing
You're not learning how to draw

redman
Scanner yet again fucked up values

my perspective lines suck ass. do i really need to do drawabox?

>>4839053
The way you are tracing over images suck. At least Greg Land has transformed the images he stole in an interesting way.

You are just pasting glossy eyes onto realistic faces. It looks really strange, especially when the eyes are not fitting on the planes of the face.

>How can you tell?
The poses and expressions are really stiff. You drew lines in places that weren't necessary. The way the head and shoulders are drawn and the way things are rendered are on two completely different levels.

If you want to trace, UNDERSTAND what you are tracing. LEARN what you are copying. And look for interesting ways to transform what you're taking.

fuck me

Perspective is everything

Did I feel the form?

>>4839388
nope.
not at all.
nice symbol drawing though

I'm trying to put some effort into this, which pose should i go for and are there any glaring mistakes yet?

>>4839436
right imo hes getting a nice pussy shot

>>4839388
Try again. Don't worry about values or lines or rendering, just focus on gesture and construction

Chen

can someone spoonfeed me the hard round brush meme

Is it just me or is drawing Tom & Jerry scenes the perfect exercise? You've got figures and forms, perspective, mechanical stuff.

>>4839458
Holy mother of SOUL

Fucked the arms up and proportions are fucking hard man. Why is drawing so demanding

>>4839506
Fuck

>>4838774
its worse than just the legs, i was all over the place with proportions.

i could measure before i start going in with the shading to make it perfect but i dont see the point in being a copy machine. we have cameras. just want to do the best i can eyeballing it and if im a little off its fine. hopefully over time i just get better at winging proportions. i dont care as much about accuracy as i do, appeal.

I've been doing some drawings with markers since quarantine started. Do u feel anything from these or they just suck

>>4839549

>>4839388
>>4839390

seriously though, start with the gesture, try to make the form and the action clear without any shading and you'll find yourself improving rapidly.

I feel like I’m getting the positioning of the guy all wrong.

>>4839644
try positioning him less incorrectly

how am I doing /beg/, going to do some more poses today after watching a video that put Bridgman's stuff into layman's terms and I'm liking it. I feel like I can more accurately construct a pose better with the way he separates things into three boxes, then the limb sections have their own specific shapes, and the idea of interlocking them into each other.

>>4839647
fuck you in your baby monkey asshole with a donkey dick until it is a gaping elephant asshole!

>>4839549
This one kinda dope, the other one sucks. Think it’s because this one actually looks like some intentional perspective distortion and the scratchy marker shit kinda ties in with the feel of the drawing but I’m not sure how intentional that was. The other one is just crappy. But also I genuinely envy the careless childishness of it. Not to backhand you but I wish I could just draw something so shitty and be like cool. Soul as they say. Paired with some well designed text could easily make some kinda intentional amateur band poster or something, but don’t kid yourself into thinking this is you actually learning drawing or applying any actual understanding of the subject. I don’t know though, I’m torn. Stay free op. Keep on. I don’t want to tell you to read a book

>>4839031
I have so many it is correct to use sperms. You wouldn't understand, being beta male and all....

>>4839702
oof. Not only males can have sperm, y'know.

Cool idea for a sketch i had yesterday. Thought it would be neat to keep the construction lines.
Thanks anons for convincing me to draw some of my ideas

>>4839711
gmi

How long is too long without practicing?

>>4839747
2 hours.

>>4839709
Yeah. There are women manlier than you, very sad my friend.

>>4834553
Question

What is the robo bean used for when i draw. Am i supposed to use it when i construct the drawing or is it used only for the obliques.

>>4839519
to paraphrase vilppu don't copy the model, learn from it

Don't even worry about values or shading for now, focus on construction and the rest will follow

>>4839843
why are you telling me exactly what i already said in your reply to my comment where i just said it?

>>4839843
bro he said that in the very post you replied to

whats a good position to be drawing?
my elbow feels like its going to fall off

>>4839859
like this

I’m so high right now!

So I'm "Souless", a "Tryhard", have Soul and am also "Talented"?

This some TaoDao shit.

I gave up because of a panic attack? Or stewing in a mood? I have no idea.... Just been feelin shitty

>>4836816
No, it's not a ref. Thanks for the tips.

Drew a lineart of my fav waifu. Could any anon offer a critique? I really wish to leave /beg/ and level up to at least medicore

I hate my life. But I've gotten the workflow down now. If only I could enjoy the grind.

>>4839980
perspective is hella off

>>4839982
hell yeah it is.This is the result of not doing the background first.

>>4839982
I'm not the OP, just a retard beg, but what exactly is off with the perspective? Is it just the weights not lining up like they should? I'm legitimately too dumb to see anything else.

>>4840022
the sitting position, a lil bit of the feet, the bench does not match the background either.

>>4840028
I got it now, thanks anon!

>>4840032
np!

what do you guys think? is it good or bad?

>>4838002
Yeah, I've always just kind of done drawings as a way to calm myself down but its only been the past 3 years that I've actually started to put more effort and take art more seriously. Here's the uncensored version btw, I realize the face probably looks really off putting compared to the rest of the body but I didn't put much focus onto the face.

I started drawing about maybe a month or 2 ago and found out about these kinds of threads. I know its really basic and dumb but figured i put it here just to get some help or advice in general

Any advice?
