Switched from ipad to a non-display tablet. Seems a lot nicer so far.
>>5164801
Fuck man I keep posting the wrong one or rotating it

>>5164812
very nice and clean linework, anon. there are some perspective issues here. his toes on his left paw shoot out in all kind of different directions. his back left foot seems too close to his front, maybe this is intentional and plausible, but it looks kind of weird. his tail does not look like it's on the same plane as the rest.

>>5164829
Thank you for the critique, anon. I'll work on these issues. Here is the reference.

>>5164837
oh, I can see how its toes are actually kind of fucked like that now, my bad. yeah I think you did a really good job, just indicate the is an actual slope there, or else the perspective looks kind of fucked. some shadows on the ground plane would probably look good.

I can't wait until I'm not still /beg/

I wanna create my waifu in designdoll, how do I set specific measurements for bwh, leg height, head size etc

Any advice on painting shiny/metallic textures in CSP?

I think I need to stop ignoring the fact that I can’t do backgrounds. Is it the same as drawing ... the focus of the drawing ... but not in focus? I guess it would have to be more nature (forests, jungles, rocks) and architecture (buildings, insides of rooms) based? Is that also Loomis?

wegh

I got laid off today frens ;_;
time to collect neetbux and work overtime on my art I guess.
I don't want to be a loser, Things we're shaping up. I was getting happier, I was getting in shape, I had goals.
Living is a struggle, I hope you all the best and hopefully we're all going to make it.

>>5164924
Knowledge of doing backgrounds is mainly built with a good knowledge of perspective. Once you know perspective, you can get into appeal and composition and the like.
Framed perspective is a good book you can skim through for making backgrounds for photos and understanding the perspective behind it.

How to make it more appealing?

if you did the things that you know you should do, where would you be?

Something I made for a comm. Finally learned about clipping groups to make colored lineart and it feels like I can make a whole lot more things now.

>>5164935
With a better pose and using foreshortening

>>5164935
looks nice

>>5164935

Try different expressions on the tiger, right now he looks dead inside

>>5164928
it is a great opportunity use it well anon. assuming that you are not about to become homeless. in that case cut costs and go find another job.

>>5164935
Did you just paste someone else's work as a background there? It looks like it was done with oil painting brushes and has clear brushstrokes unlike the character. And like other anon said you could try foreshortening in places to bring more depth and tension.

>>5164955
nah, I'm living in a well of Scandinavian country, this is why I paid taxes for years I guess. Only problem now is that I'm kind of banking on art as a job in the future. I have little training elsewhere, no degrees. I'm under no impression that it has to be right away, years down the road would be good enough for me. But I cant take up more school as my depths would skyrocket.

And I hate feeling like a loser. It sucks telling people you're unemployed at a party

the fuck is going on with the clothes hanging over the shoulder in this pic, is it clipping into her thigh?

>>5164980
based and welfarepilled
>It sucks telling people you're unemployed at a party
you are not unemployed, you are a full time artist now!

>>5164993
dunno why you're cheering up some rando on the internet, but I love you for it, anon. sincerely.

>>5164980
>telling people you're unemployed at a party
Anyone who actively tells people they’re unemployed is a verified retard. Just say you freelance you mongoloid. I bet you say gaps in your resume are because you were “just chillin”

>>5164943
what is a clipping group

>>5164935
did you mirror the tiger face? the face is nice, the body is not very solid tho.

>>5164983
I think it is doing something like this

>>5165073
Google it

>>5165142
how could you do this to me

>>5165145
Well they clearly know more than you

>>5165150
not anymore

>>5165145
Also you skipped through several minutes of the video already, good job

Imagine making something this big when you don't even know how to mix paint

>>5165183
Star wars is cringe
So is that yours or are you dunking on a post from reddit in the beginner thread

>>5164965
I wanted it to have contrast, anime is clean and smooth, background is painterly. I learnt this from looking at studio ghibli.

>>5165081
Yeah lol, it was so mirrored, that the anime now juxtapose against it. I wanted to have contrast but now it shows more weakness than contrast, FML T_T

I got lazy. As long as it gives the impression she’s in a jungle I guess it gets the job done?

>>5165235
Looks like normal forest to me

how do shadows work

this tells me how to find the the equal parts vertically but not at first horizontally, is it telling me to just eyeball it horizontally? this is Ernest Norling's perspective book pg 145

getting better at loomis method heads, glad i'm powering through it because i can see (some) improvement.
is the body construction in later chapters of FWAP a good place to go once i feel comfortable making different shapes and styles of heads?
also what's off here? looks i fucked up with the right jaw.

>>5165388

>>5165418
thanks anon. looks from that like my issue is placement/size of the sliced off part of the sphere.

Im still pretty had at art but its my own fault with being lazy and too depressed to go over the stickys resources and tutorials. Used several references.

Should I be grinding loomis?

Bit off more than I can chew

Did my head in for a few hours trying to draw to figures interacting.

Any advice on how to get my head around this sort of stuff?

How the fuck do colored pencils work?

Made this Krieg from reference. (Haven't got to shading yet and just colored the base stuff so far.)

I need help. How am I supposed to get the curves of the arm right when drawing it?

Drew a strong wumen

>>5165307
Did quick at work on phone so not best example. Learning shadows in how they operate is quite easy, the only hard part is technique. Try looking videos on YouTube to breakdown shadows and value in general. I suggest Proko's Shading light and form - Basics video for atleast doing an object similar to pic.

bros, how do i chop off the sides of the loomis sphere properly? been at it all morning but can't seem to get the hang of it does anyone know somewhere where it's explained well?

Alright /beg/ listen up. I've got the ultimate pro-tip for you:

Buy a bunch of pens and printer paper.
Chuck on some classic runescape tunes.
Just pretend you're doing blast furnace or slayer and grind the fuck out of whatever you're doing.
Profit

>>5165996
based

>>5165962
For a rough guide on a flat face with no perspective. The size of the cut can change tho depending on how you want your person to look, so play around with it. Proko's videos on loomis heads are pretty good so I'd recommend those.

>when there are no edgelords/schizos baiting and funposters engaging them, /beg/ is dead
Sad, really

>>5165235
>airbrush
Yeah, the ultimate lazy beg choice for rendering

This is my first serious attempt at light and shade rendering in a while, i'm getting tired of line art hell.

>>5166139
forgot to resize sorry

you're remembering to learn in the way that actually works for you right anon?

balance is completely fucked, looks like he'll fall over any second

I want to give more volume on my art
and have better sense of posing in general even when I just draw basic shit like this to show off a design. I don't know why but my art currently feels very flat. Any tips?

>>5166170
doing everything but kinesthetic

>use oil paint brush in csp
>no matter what I do I get bold black outlines
>use multiple brushes, still get the same
How the fuck do you avoid this?

guys can you tell if I am a total lowskill and what I lack? thx

>>5166272

How do I get better at drawing correct proportions from observation? I've been doing Bargue plates and drawing from life, and I'll spend 45 minutes trying to measure and block out big shapes and follow a process, and the end result is something that looks marginally better than a drawing I could do in 10 minutes just trying to draw contour. After you learn basic measuring techniques/angles/alignments, is it literally just grinding and training the eye?

>>5166294
i am from the russian community, I know that I may have the basic skills like proportions and lighting, but my fellows say I am a low skill, so I am just asking everybody. Cause you know its hard to judje own works. sorry if it looks like Iam acting as an atantion whore

>>5166399
maybe you should ask them then

>>5166303
Not doing sight-size, by the way. I feel like using comparative measurement instead makes it tough to know where to start, since if you want to place an initial point/line inside the box you've drawn for the piece, you have to measure it in both the x- and y- directions. Any tips for dealing with starting if you're not doing sight-size?

Don't bother with coloring if your drawing looks like that.

Pay attention to what you are drawing.
>How long is the helmet knife thing?
>How much of the weapon is showing and how much is hid by his body?
>What's the position and alignment of his feet?

Etc.

thanks
i still don't unmderstand but i appreciate the help :D

>>5166187
Here's the whole thing, are those designs good for generic grunts/soldiers?

How is this, so far?

>>5166543
Legendary.

>>5166543
wonky ribcage, asscheeks are completely fucked by the perspective and are sliding off the lady, legs both look to be facing the viewer but the angle of the pelvis is doing its own thing

>>5166543
her right ass cheek has a tumor

>>5166487
yeah I'd say so

>>5165996
make sure to left your drawings where you can see it, so you can see your progression as the drawings pile up and hopefully gets better.

>>5166122
>Sad, really
no, not really.

>>5166543
How do you draw so many of these figures and fuck ip the ass cheek that bad

>>5166122
if every begs gave critiques to each other it wouldn't be this way.

>>5166203
so, you don't draw?

>>5166583
yes that's the joke

>>5166566
>>5166548
>>5166550
Okay. So did I do a bad job or did I pick a bad drawing to emulate?

>>5166170
I was without even knowing.

>>5166585
You definitely choose a bad piece.

>>5166585
>>5166543
the problem is the line below the butt cheek yours is too dark, in the reference it is bearably noticeable

>>5166586
good for you, but now you have more focus and you can share this information

>>5166584
>that's the joke
well, you need to work on that!

>>5166605
i know! i've been forcing myself to draw everyday no matter what so far but i take the easy way out and just do exercises

>>5166585
Yea. You copied it fine. The pic just has bad anatomy.

>>5166623
>copied it fine
No he didn't you dumb /begroomer/

>>5166647
So then it's a decent ref and I just didn't emulate it well enough?

>>5166658
Legoman's art is perfectly fine, he just draws stylized anatomy

>>5166543
>>5166585

You're not doing a bad job. Overlay the pictures in whatever paint program you have and it'll help you see what's wrong. I think it's mostly that you're just off in a bunch of ways that you're not noticing and it's all piled up. Make sure you check your plumb lines, pick points on LM's image and see where they line up vertically/horizontally with other parts of the pic and you'll see that stuff isn't lining up in yours. Like the back of that left leg in yours goes straight up to the spine, but in his it hits the top of the pelvis, etc. It'll probably be easier to start over fresh with a new drawing.

Try starting the drawing with more of a simplified base if you can, don't follow the exact contours until all the big masses are correctly positioned.

I like the pic but make sure you're doing less stylized stuff too. Did you draw it flipped or did you just post it that way?

>>5166610
> i take the easy way out and just do exercises
at least you are building the habit of draw everyday, mastering the art of showing up is the most important thing after all.

I was talking about your jokes skills tho, are you making another joke? if so you are pretty bad at it.

>>5164777
How do I make this hair look more realistic? Right now it just looks like chunks of felt rather than strands of hair.

>>5166686
>I was talking about your jokes skills tho
oooh no i'm just stupid

>>5166673
Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I'm drawing by hand and I didn't attempt it flipped. That's just the way it was posted.

>>5166687

Less uniformity, sharper shapes, more curve to the lines, it's very stiff looking. Break up some of the parts with smaller clumps of hair and some strands, and vary the lengths a bit. You don't want to go overboard with it, but just indicating some line within the clumps goes a long way to make it look like hair. You just want to get away from these big chunky repetitive shapes, get some life and variety in there.

The rendering is also very soft and blobby when hair is sharper and has more contrast. Define your shadow and highlight shapes better and pump their values a bit. Definitely your highlights anyways.

>>5166703
Thank you! Gonna work on it.

Trying to fix a mecha design I did a few days ago, any tips for playing with the proportions and make it slighty less human looking while mantaining the 80s Kunio Okawara feel?

Hell again /beg/
Having a little difficulty with her arm, not sure if it’s close to right. Maybe I can move the shoulder up and the other side down.
I also have difficulty drawing penis, I never get the shape to be more attractive

>>5166727
make shapes less round
head smaller
not enough depth feels too smooth
thin waist wide hips
>>5166733
draw 100 penis a day

>>5164777
Any better, or no?1

I don't understand the digital shading process very well. If I was doing 5 minute figure drawings and wanted to add in some important shadows, what sort of brush should I be doing that with? Hard round on 100% opacity? I find that doing that makes it a 2 tone picture which isn't quite what I want.

>>5166769

Not really desu. Slow down and take your time with it. Measure more, keep it simple. Think like construction, boxes and cylinders. Simple shapes, make sure it all lines up right before you start copying the contours.

>>5166769
So
Her ass is dented down like that because of the tight clothing, it looks kinda odd you’re still copying the shapes but not the clothing

>>5166782
I see, thanks. How do you pull all this off, by hand?

>>5165891
cute elf

and i thought the forearms sucked
jesus CHRIST

>>5166836

Eh it's not as bad, the forearm rotating and twisting the muscles can be really confusing.

>>5166790
It's not a perfect rendition but that's actually pretty good.

>500 hours of perspective
>5 hours in sketchup
isn't sketchup just better?

>>5166733
I would say that's a good looking penis anon. I think that her shoulder should be shrugging more if she's putting her weight on that arm.

What brush settings are those by the way? Is that just the default g-pen or something similar?

>>5166916
Default g pen with no opacity jitter

>>5166930
Extremely nice lines then, you have good control.

>>5166930
Yeah fuck I wish I could line like that. How many undos you take on each line?

>>5166951
I dunno, sometimes two sometimes none, I only draw on an iPad and use the touch screen undo command, depends if I’m laying down or at my desk too for posture

I'm not a beginner but I was told to post here to get critique, please help?

>>5167056
Oh but you absolutely ARE a beginner, by any reasonable standard!~~ <3

Too many things wrong here to give any sort of targeted critique. Why don't you watch every single video from Ctrl+Paint while diligently taking notes and applying what you've learned, then we can talk! (^w^)

>>5167056
1. yes you are, someone couldve been drawing for 10 years and still be considered a beginner here, it just depends on the quality of your work.
2. use a reference, it's clear you didn't which is why everything looks wrong and it's hard to even begin critiquing this

>>5167056
>I'm not a beginner

I feel like any critique will be dismissed as "it my style"

>>5167066
I'm not a beginner, I feel like I have a decent grasp on anatomy, color and shading! But thank you for the suggestion.
>>5167071
I'm not a beginner. And I don't like using references, I feel like it limits me... I will try, I guess!
>>5167078
Well it IS heavily stylized, I wasn't going for realism, maybe it wasn't clear.

>>5167056
>I'm not a beginner
ngmi

>>5167056
Anon?

>>5167095
Sorry, what does this mean?
>>5167107
Huh?

>>5167111
"ngmi" means "not gonna make it". As in, you will not be successful. Which is an accurate statement, unless you seriously reevaluate your standards of what "beginner" means. I know it hurts to draw your whole life and then find out you're still beg level (because that's what happened to me) but if you ever hope to improve, it's a necessary growing pain.

>>5167056


Replying here because the other thread was deleted. You can sometimes get good critique on /ic/. You’re more likely to get it on here than a hugbox like reddit. That said, it’s 4chan so racism is unfortunately par for the course. It’s really your call.

>>5167118
>unfortunately

>>5167111
How many years ago did you start drawing?

Thoughts on Paint Coach???? Seems legit but all his stuff seems a bit weirdly typical to me.

i used a ref for both i just want to try and be better at depth and posing. unrelated pics but they looked cute together.

>>5167089
what do you want from us then?

>>5167154
Compliments.

how to avoid becoming delusional?

>>5167166
surround yourself with people who will criticize you like an /ic/ poster but maybe not be as genuinely autistic
if you surround yourself with people who constantly pat you on the back you become delusional like our newfriend above

Took me 8 hours. Any advice would be nice.

>>5167166
bros, this is my biggest fear. help.

>>5167168
>surround yourself with people who will criticize you
where would I find those?

>>5167186
Right here retard now PYW or STFU

>>5167186
idk, join an art discord maybe
normalfags are gobsmacked by anyone that can hold a pencil so they aren't a reliable source of critique, your best bet is for people who have no personal connection to you and therefore aren't worried about hurting your feelings

>>5167185
Well, if this took you eight hours, then either you overthink everything far too much, or you have some problems with your digital painting setup, OR you're just really slow in general (unlikely). Think about this some more, you might be able to come to a valuable conclusion!

>>5167185
My advice is the same as >>5167196
What kind of process are you using that made this take 8 hours?

Here's today's "shitty" one, but at least I got two in already. Gonna draw a third, keep practicing anatomy.

>>5165628
Man I'm at a complete loss.

The way this is all positioned, his head should be crushing up against one of her massive tits but I don't even know how to go about drawing that.

I guess I need to practice drawing some spheres with objects pushing in to them.

I haven't been here in a very long time.
Kind of gave up on drawing since I saw a new opportunity and decided to pursue that instead.
Coming back here today, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised that the /beg/ thread has actually gotten a lot better it seems. Or maybe my perception of what's "good" has deteriorated over the years.
Anyway, keep going /beg/! You're all gonna make it!

>>5167238
I think it looks sexy anyway.

>>5167226
What's the point of the tripcode

>>5167258
Thanks man.

Looking at it I think one of the issues is that the stitching on her outfit goes straight down, implying that there's no mass there.

>>5167261
No point whatsoever besides branding. I'm still anonymous, but my tripcode gives me an "artist" identity that I don't have to tie to my online life. My twitter uses my tripcode and is only art.

>>5167274
kubo looks weird...

Difficult. I hope this gets easier after consistent daily grind

>>5167056
You might not be a beginner time-wise, but your skills are definitely that of a beginner.

>>5167283
>I hope this gets easier after consistent daily grind
s-someone tell him...

>>5167291
I'm just talking about hands really, hands and perspective are the two things I worry about

>>5165857
>>5166171
>>5166463
Gotcha, gotcha
Any good tips on how to work on this kind of stuff?(this is the anon that drew this)

>>5167185
is this what people mean when they say "soul"?

Sketched Daisy. Incels btfo

>>5167328
Why'd you randomly say incels btfo

>>5167331
Because incels hate Daisy. It's a sort of /tv/ meme.

>>5167332
I don't know who Daisy is but looking at "her" proportions I think "she" is a man.

>>5167189
I already do, but it is not as reliable as you may think, I had people say that my shit art was cute and asked for my blog. not sure why but people here lie too. still better than nothing tho.

>>5167192
yeah I guess discord or something similar is my best bet.

If you can draw those simple shapes, you can draw ANYTHING

>>5167417
Ease up on the humble brag bro. You need to reevaluate how to ask for critique then if this board refuses to help you at a beginner level. Don't just post
>Thoughts? Rate? Critique?
Post what you want critiqued IN the drawing and say what you were having difficulty with. No one just draws dog shit and thinks they don't have any specific issues unless maybe you're this tard >>5167056 literal diarrhea

>>5167166
Post your work and let people criticize it and understand that there is always room for improve. sometimes they are crabs but sometimes they are golden crabs. :D

Any general tips or critiques on this?

>>5167451
break the sillouette more on the top side of the head imo

I feel the Need The Need for Speeeeed

Any guides or videos on painting hair? Something like pic related

>>5167478
>when you forget to trace

>>5167483
That looks like extremely old CSR art, and Shexyo traces off him funny enough
>>5167478
Doesnt CSR literally put out videos on how he paints

Any tips for practicing observation? I've been doing the poses from Bargue for quick 45-minute studies, and I spend a bunch of time autistically measuring everything, but I can never get it to be a perfect match. Do I just need to experiment with blocking out big shapes and using sighting techniques until I discover a good process, or what?

>>5167490
All those videos are sped up way too fast for me to understand any technique, unless there's a stream of some sorts somewhere

>>5167503
You do know you can save the videos and slow them them down in a media player right

Sayeth man

>>5167534
Low effort trash

How is this, so far?

>>5167559
Facial features far too large for that head and their sizes and distances are very off like the nose to the lips

>>5167559
anatomy's all around poor
clavicles too straight and flat
pecs and delts dont grab onto the clavicle properly
pecs and delts dont interact properly either
arm doesnt just pop out of the ribcage like that
legs look like total guesswork
and like the previous anon said the face is way too large

>>5167559
Damn, he thicc.

>>5167559
>>5167572
>legs look like total guesswork
Actually the legs are the best part imo, they're nice and 3D, especially at the ankles (just a little bit too long, tho). And the linework is decent overall!

In case anybody might need it, I found a neat website that covers all the major muscle and bone groups of the human body with loads of x-ray diagrams as well as color coded musculature maps. Really useful stuff to supplement Eaton's video courses
https://doctorlib.info/anatomy/classic-human-anatomy-motion/index.html

>>5166782
Trying to do 50% opacity hard brush and blending is obviously not working. Anyone have any advice or guides on how to do the sorts of shadows you would do in a 5 minute study?

>>5167633
Use a textured brush with tilt jitter on
If that doesnt work for you, just draw on paper for quick studies

continued
this is a really helpful exercise to me

Would you consider this to be a /beg art?

>>5167682
Depends if they can draw bodies consistently at several different angles or not. Why are you asking about someone elses work

>>5167690
It's my work and just wanted some outside input on my work

>>5167691
if you don't make at least $100000 purely from drawing, you are /beg/

>>5167682
in some ways. outside of 4chan it's intermediate. it shows a level of skill for sure, but the pose is broken in a couple of fundamental ways. her right wrist. her left boob. right elbow. all seem disjointed.

the rendering is not very descriptive. the nose is hidden in shadow and i sorta suspect they just didn't want to deal with building it?

Took a break from figure drawing to try to invent something from imagination. Do y’all just sort of scribble stuff out to get a feel for it when messing around with preliminary poses?

>>5167699
Yeah i opnly started to draw like 6 months ago, so there are some fundamental problems and I only started to learn coloring like a month ago. And the nose is more like a style choice

>>5167682
dude look at those hands
i'm getting ET vibes from those hands alone
it's a weird sensation of booba and horror

>>5167705
Of course you're beg then unless you have more technically impressive work. Drawing a half body with big boobs isn't really much

>>5167715
Well I have a couple full body arts

>>5167715

>>5167718
holy fuckin shit

>>5167718
Uh yeah bro thats beg, also the way you put your ape name on the images detracts from the image too.

>>5167722
So watermarking your work is now bad?

>>5167720
Ok bro please stop lol it looks like her wig is falling off

>>5167723
Not at all. I put my signature in my own work as well, just very small and dimmed so that it's not a distraction. If you're scared about someone stealing your work, they will go ahead and and wipe the text you put in extremely large lettering.

>>5167724
btw someone paid for that 80 bucks

>>5167718
>>5167720
i still say it's got stuff going for it. keep it up, man.

>>5167727
Thanks man. I only come here anyway just to get rosted. Everyone needs some humbleing time to time and this pit of degeneracy and hate is the best place for that.

>>5167726
People buy shit art all the time

>>5167731
How do I sell my shit art?

>>5167733
Advertise yourself. Go look in the commission thread on /aco/, it's full of beginner artists

>>5167733
I just started a pixiv like a month ago. Coomer shit obviously. I am already at like 80 followers and made like 125 bucks in commissions.

>>5167736
link?

>>5167736
how do they find you? you write tags in japanese?

>>5167741
Not him but I’ve been using pixiv for a year and a half so I might as well say something
Yes just use Japanese tags. The site is very good to just put your art out there both sfw and nsfw. The Japanese community there is very kind

>>5167745
>Yes just use Japanese tags
how do I get jap tags for things? manually google for the jap version of anime titles and stuff?
>The Japanese community there is very kind
you talk to them too? sweet

I've been avoiding drawing feet for months now because I'm a pussy. Speaking of which, I've also avoided drawing genitals and so much other stuff too. There's so much I don't know and so much I want to learn. It feels so overwhelming sometimes.

>>5167747
Search with one word the tag you want in English, click the suggested japanese tag because it translates then copy paste that
Also people on the site tend to comment in japanese or leave cute elephant stickers. Good site
Anyway off I go to sleep

Can someone help me out with photoshop hotkeys? Its very basic but very convenient.
Basically, when I'm working on my office mac, increasing brush diameter is command + option drag cursor left and right. For windows I know you can use the [ and ] buttons but its slow and inefficient. Some youtube video says alt + right click + drag, but I only get the master diameter and brush selection panel when I push those two buttons together.
It might be some sort of setting, but I'm terrible with computers.

>>5167852
After a bit of checking, the feature was apparently introduced in CS5, looks like I'm fucked unless I upgrade my windows photoshop.

hand too big ( bad foreshortening ), gesture is weak ( the leg is awkward ), head too small ( overall bad proportions for the entire body ), the leading foot is in the wrong gesture ( this is a nitpick, you'd have to understand foot anatomy to get this right, don't worry about it too much) , the ax is also badly foreshortened ( too big ) , the torso is also too long ( because you were trying to fit the hand pose in it so you didn't pay attention, this is common with lack of understanding of overlapping structures ) , you can honestly just leave it at that ( but it's your choice ). Sketches can be appealing and yours is, once you line it, the mistakes will show, and you'll feel bad about it ( gotta think about emotional state as a form of creative resource , the more you feel good, the more you can draw, the more drawing time , the more you can learn and draw for pleasure and practice your hands ) . same energy pic related

Been doing over the legs for a while and will probably have to keep doing over.

What else am I missing?

>>5167893
Fuuuuuck me. Well, I do really appreciate the critique; it's been very illuminating. I'll get back to figure drawing and revisit this later when I'm better equipped to take it on.

>Would you consider this to be a /beg art?
>look at the hands
yes

>>5167953
That's intentional...

>>5167897
ass muscles?

>>5167897
thigh gap is far too wide, it looks like you don't really know where the leg muscles insert on the pelvis

I decided to stop early so I don't muddle the overall image with more marker

>>5168022

>>5168022
I don't think asses grow from shoulderblades, even in fatsos

>>5164983
its just a fold

>>5168022
Nice, reminds me of R Crumb and Namio Harukawa. Some anatomy problems but the S O U L is there. Keep at it

>>5165354
so i just read these few pages to see if i could help
it appears he leaves the method unspecified. so you could eyeball or get out a ruler and measure
the accuracy of the horizontal lines will determine the vertical ones
but there's also a subtle detail here
you can draw vertical lines and get the horizontal lines, it works either direction
so draw first which is the most comfortable to measure or eyeball
these aren't mathematical proofs, so don't read them like that
they're just good rules of thumb

>>5167530
Not really, it distorts really badly after being sped up to a certain point and compressed at that speed

>>5165891
woa she stronk

>>5168098
art learning requires effort. You sound lazy as fuck. You can convert the video to a slower speed yourself. Yes there will be distortions but you will still see how he did it if you use your brain to piece it together.

>>5165784
One thing that would make this a lot better is if you'd check proportions before you do your line art and colors.

For example, look at the length of the bayonet compared to the end of his scope. The reference looks like it's almost 3 times as long, but yours isn't even twice.

Also, look at silhouette of things, like the legs.

Some of your curves are straight, and some of your straights are curves, like the bottom of the helmet.

Lastly, look at the negative space around the object. There's a clear bend from the bottom of the rifle, to his hand, to the bottom of the foot. Yours is a straight line.

The reason this is important is because you're training your observational skills. Don't worry if it feels like tracing or cheating to draw some lines and grids to strengthen your senses. Those training wheels will come off soon.

>>5168109
ok faggot

>>5168098
Give up I guess :(

>>5168155
Im just gonna jerk off and figure it out myself

>>5167419
Fuck you and your lies, Penko!

What does beg mean bros?

>>5168188
beg for an easy way to get good at art

I'll be honest Anons, I'm an aspiring guro artist. Before you ask, I don't have any art worth showing yet, I've only started learning during the quarantine. I don't plan to release anything until I get good at drawing organs but I want to plan ahead. Is there a good platform where I can share my art? Obviously deviant art is a no go given the subject. Second question is, will I get in trouble if I post here?

>>5168195
My insane weab friend retweets a lot of guro artists on twitter so I guess try there

ultra /beg/ here.

>>5168197
Isn't twitter home of the SJW crusader? Sounds like the worst place to post art. Pretty sure they'll lynch you for not making animu negresses black enough.

>>5168199
Nah it all depends on who you follow. There are lots of jp guro artists on there who post really extreme stuff and have large followings

>>5168199
not like all of twitter is the same. there was an artist who drew exclusively anime girls with nazi uniforms on and their replies were 100% positive.

>>5168198

Weird, they're willing to ban the president but they don't touch people fantasizing about torturing cute women to death.

>>5168209
>Weird, they're willing to ban the president but they don't touch people fantasizing about torturing cute women to death

Yeah pretty much

>>5168209
Well woman are nothing more than onaholes.

>>5168208
ok

>inciting violence and drawing cartoons are equal offenses

>>5168212
>>5168215
I mean, it's to my advantage so I'm not complaining.

Not sure if this is a /BEG/ question, but can you all rate my rig? I live in a confined space with my grandfather. So I can only work with so much space. I like being in front of the window so I don't feel claustrophobic. My back faces the door so my family can see me drawing pron. To my right is the bed. The left, dreamcast stares at me with its glory.

>tracing
Even if you traced the outlines don't you still have to have the technique to paint it well? It isnt like just tracing some lineart.

>>5167490
>Shexyo traces CSR
Proof? Seems like any time good art is posted here people accuse of tracing. Is it cope or is there validity to it?

>>5168396
Thanks Anon.

>>5168391
nice printed out loomispressions

>>5168391
Seems fine. Just remember that people made digital art with shitty pentium core duos and photoshop cs2.

>>5168391
if your chair have arm rest it is ok. I prefer rest on the table tho

>>5168427
Agree. I use the table with the sponge as a rest. But the chair hurts my ass. And the sponge is not the best. I might have to go shopping again. But small town usa does not provide sometimes.

Any critique on this before I ink?

>>5168444
what about amazon?

first real portraiture study, looking for some headers
im trying to not just copy the face but recognize the landmarks and muscles/fat im familiar with and thus place them accordingly rather than simply eye-guessing, but i can tell I fucked up in a lot of ways. i feel like i wont really be learning anything if i simply copy pictures, so whats the best way to go about it?
sorry about the light lines btw, my pencil strokes reek of no confidence

Post your artwork not your set up

Google it if you’re curious.

>>5167559
The red&blue lead-

You ain't the guy who always drawing the thick bitches is you?

>>5168458
Finished, I miss digital because drawing on such small scales feels kinda limited

>>5166272
Looks really nice, anon. I'm too low-skill to give good advice but I suppose you could learn a lot by continuing to study some of your favourite artists. Maybe a good focus on improving those values maybe, that'd help improve those painted pieces and make them pop more.

>>5168571
Wow that's pretty blatant. Thought some of these are definitely a stretch. There are only so many appealing poses and in some examples a couple curves lining up sets off people's red flags.

>>5168571
I don't get it, the guy can obviously at least paint because the colors and hair and everything is different but looks good. Can he simply just not think of poses or figure out how to draw them? Fucking weird.

If you're here trying to learn so you can create a universe where anime girls go to military college to become operators or mecha pilots, you have been here a thousand times and you'll be here a thousand times more.

>>5168667
>>5168668
Learning how to paint in someones style is fine, observing how they do facial expressions is fine, referencing poses is fine, but putting it all together just makes them a lesser version of CSR. Good artists are able to see a pose and draw it at a completely different angle, shexyo never did this when copying CSRs work
Csr called him out because he apparently constantly gets asked about shexyo wondering if thats his alt account, then shexyo put out a word document defending himself in a sassy manner. I think shexyo is one of those chinks whos fine with being a copycat for money

>>5168671
Jokes on you, I'm making one about anime boys in the military.

LINEWORK:
Should I be using the 'real G-Pen' pen in Clip Studio Paint that fluctuates in width depending on pen pressure or should I use a pen that maintains the same width regardless of pressure and just manually size it up and down as needed? I see some people using the anime swoosh pen look and some people with the same style using a regular uniform line size for the outline and varying line sizes in details and inner lines, all of them having a steady width. This is confusing the fuck out of me.

>>5168087
alrighty, thanks for the feedback. <3

I'm having trouble making the folds on drapery and clothes etc. from imagination. I do know the different types of folds, I just can't seem to apply that knowledge. Any advice?
