ready for a red pill on timed gesture?
gesture below 2-3min is a waste of time as it only works as a warm up and any value it may provide apart from that is only valuable once you are way way way more skilled

its like tackling an anatomy book like bridgeman without already having a decent idea of human natomy, you are gonna have a bad time and learn very little for the time invested

what fo you gain by these quick gestures? 30secs? is this a speedrun comp or something? it is better to dedicate your time on actually learning the figure properly and if you are going to use a timed exercise use an amount of time that lets you employ all the stages of a "normal" drawing, so something from min the fastest but 10-20 is better

gesture isnt a meme but like almost everything in the fucking art process, it gets misunderstood by almost everyone and turned into a useless exercise you can cope yourself to sleep thinking your improving

so focus more on the forms and anatomy like you said but ditch the short timer and to proper figure drawing with all the time in the world and if you want to time it, again, 5, or 10-20 min

based knower. Gesture is only primarily practiced by professional animators, comic artists, and people who have already mastered form. Beginners should work on actually being able to draw something 3 dimensionally first. In 19th century Europe, people would draw only still lives and plaster casts before being allowed to even touch figure drawing, and even then, they did long poses before short poses

If you have a habit of shading your sketches and it’s just a part of how you think, learn to use modeling tone instead. Then you don’t have to worry about any specific light source, but you’ll still be properly describing form. And you won’t be at risk of developing bad shading habits that could creep into your actual work.

Random sketches are good for idea generation.

You're in the gap.
Youve seen too many tutorials about drawing and you've been exposed to good art so your brain -wrongly- assumes you should be able to produce drawings of similar quality.
This is, obviously, wrong. While you MAY have some theoretical knowledge (you really dont as your brain probably forgets about it as soon as you start putting lines on the paper), you lack the hand-brain coordination required to make it actually happen.

You gotta grind and theres no way around it.

I am disagreeing with you. Doing a 30 seconds gesture and then 2-3 minute gesture from a ref is a good exercise for a total beg.
The point is that you can fail extremely fast and then learn something from this failure just as fast.
For a person, who is entirey unfamiliar with human figure it's a good way to progress in first weeks of studying. Maybe you just forgot what it was like, when your best attempt at human figure was a stickman. There are lots of people in these threads, who start gesture drawing and the best they can do is a stiff ugly stickman. They just don't know how to convey the pose with a few lines.
I believe, before moving on to "figure" drawing, you should get decent at "gesture" drawing. Maybe some people are good at gesture drawing from the start, but many begs are not. It's the first stage upon which you build figure. If you can't do the first stage, there is no point in wasting time, trying to improve the latter stages, when your foundation is fucked. It's the same as with some begs here, who start from painting portraits and their faces look all fucked up, because they didn't learn how to draw it first.
There is no fucking point for a beg to learn to draw muscles and bones, when he draws torso 2 times the normal size and the figure looks like it's a freeze frame of a malfunctioning animatronic from FNAF. It's just a waste of time. In 10 minutes you can draw 20 quick bad gestures and fail 20 times and learning from all 20 failures, instead of wasting 10 minutes on 1 bad figure and learning from only a single failure.
That being said, it applies only if you are a total beg in figure drawing. If you have skills to produce a decent looking figure in 2 minutes, then there is no point in grinding gestures and you should move on.

Super interesting. I felt like I got nothing from doing figure drawing for less than 5 minutes. There's not enough time to analyze it absorb anything so I would just frantically scribble things down and saw no improvement.
I'm pretty sure I got the most when I started slowing down, analyzing what the figure was doing, attempting to draw it, and then comparing it and adjusting. I even drew gesture directly over some figures to get an understanding of flow and proportions.
Now that I'm a little more experienced I feel like timed drawings might help me improve my speed, but we'll see

>>6776799
don't bother with very short timed poses unless you actually have a bit of experience with anatomy, otherwise it'll overwhelm and you won't make real progress because everything looks off rather than a few things here and there

if you're going to do gesture and figures, take your time with it and really take note of lines and where things go; once you have more experience, you can start reducing the times which then of course serves as a warmup or highlights specific weaknesses

The super quick gesture advice is usually ment for begs that post some permabeg shit and then say "this took me 3 hours". Or for better artists to just get the flow of the pose down quickly without overanalyzing.

This is the reason why being self taught is hard, you don't have a teacher who cater advice towards you instead you have to sift through advice ment for people who ask "which way should I hold my pencil? How hard should I grip it?" The only ones who make it are those who are able to let go of their ego and do enough introspection to figure out what they need to focus on in order to improve.

nope, it was meant for you based on the first sentence where you mentioned you got nothing from doing figures in less than 5 minutes; i see this a lot where people either think they need to be fast or have witnessed some recommendation from a youtuber or some shit on how quick gesture/figure drawing should be encouraged, but from a /beg/ perspective it's really damaging since a /beg/ wouldn't be able to draw a convincing leg in 5 minutes, let alone an entire figure
>>6776810
yeah i'd never recommend a /beg/ to do quick timed gestures and poses, in fact i'd remove the time limit entirely while starting out and getting familiar with anatomy, then once a general idea of what is what and where it goes is established, timers can be introduced as a warmup in the day; same reason as the reply above where /beg/s see this recommendation from youtubers and shit, thinking it pertains to them when really it doesn't

timed gestures should be done over coffee in the morning to get your mind and arm working

Am I wasting time doing these 30s (unshaded) and 2m (shaded) gestures or should I keep going? I started with stick figures like the other anon but spent most of my time so far studying anatomy and finally understand what form is. My biggest problem before starting to study was that my drawings looked flat and stiff, so I figured gestures (and form study) would help. I do these as a warmup also.

>> No.6776836

doing timed practice is great for warmups but once you've warmed up consider this. If you have an hour to practice your gold swing or bat swing, should you go out there an swing 100 times as quick as you can, just getting through them or should you take your time and make every swing count and build towards your skills

i wouldn't say you're wasting your time but you're definitely not taking a whole lot from the experience due to the time limits, i can see you have areas where construction is something you're trying, but due to the limited time and lack of anatomy experience you sort of just panic and guess a shape; it's where that stiffness comes from, because you get to, say, the pelvis, but know a leg connects to it and draw in that idea without thought

as long as you come out of the warmup with more awareness of line and where landmarks are, it's alright; for studying anatomy? it is a waste of time, ditch the time limit entirely and focus on specific limbs at a time; for improving your lines and removing stiffness? again, remove the time limit and give each line the time it needs until you get it right

Not to be mean but they're still flat and stiff, you're just using poor shading to cover it up a bit. I don't think you should be shading at your level at all, use contour and cross contour lines instead so you'll have to actually understand the form. I also think you'd get a lot more out of grinding individual parts like torso/hips/arms etc than what you're currently doing.

Okay, I'll spend more time studying anatomy and try more untimed gestures. But is more anatomy what will make my poses less stiff or more gestures (after more anatomy)?

yes, you need to know where things go in order to draw them, they're stiff because you don't know each area of the body well enough, again you know a leg connects to the pelvis, but do you know the shapes within the leg from the muscles it has? the more you know about the body, the better you can imagine it and put it down, even simplify it when it comes to something gestural

you need to know anatomy in order to draw a good figure, once you know where the muscles go, you add in the idea of form through them in 3 dimensional space; look at the arms on this drawing by karl kopinski, you can see how the line moves around the muscles and makes it dynamic, of course his heavy exaggeration of anatomy through the lines is a stylistic choice, and it's why looking at other artists also really helps

even in gesture drawing you still need to know where things go, landmarks and form, lines of action that move through the body, once you know these things, you can manipulate them with stylistic choices that give things more gesture, even vilppu will go through it

I can see that you took the anatomy into consideration but some of the shapes arent defining it well, mostly in the arm and thigh on the right, in some parts the shapes are well done like in the left forearm and left calf (though the knee on that is not). What bothered me most tho is that some of the proportions aren't matching (the two biceps, oversized hip compared to torso and both legs look like they arent the same size, recommend doing some figure drawings using reference, paying attention to the proportions on different poses and only after going over the same drawings with anatomy on top

Or something like that. Otherwise, people are gonna think “this guy wants me to give him money to gamble on crypto? Lmao no.”
I also understand you want to take a moral stand against cucked payment platforms, and I share your ideals. I lean hard lolbertarian, myself. But this is not the time for that. You need to make it as easy as possible for people to give you money.

Hey. Look at me. Look. At. Me.
AS EASY AS POSSIBLE!
Especially if you want to make a principled stand in a way that will make waves. What sends a stronger message: some rando who says to pay in crypto only?
Or someone with a following and a cushy livelihood tied to traditional payment processors, who people know and have rapport with as an artist, publicly declaring said platforms are cucked and then sacrificing some income, publicly taking a pay cut for his principles, literally putting his money where his mouth is and taking his followers to go build his own casino with blackjack and hookers?

Think about it like this: if you or I declare that we’re boycotting YouTube and only making videos on bitchute or whatever, nobody notices or cares. Nobody will watch our videos, either. It’s a masturbatory virtue signal that nobody will even see. But if pewdiepie does it, it makes waves and sends a message. Like Joe Rogan moving to Spotify.

tl;dr: don’t mention crypto, make it as easy as possible for people to give you money
PS—You can make it so donors all get to suggest and vote on ideas for pieces that you post publicly. That way they get something, you get something, all your followers get something, and it’s zero extra work for you. Crowdfunded commissions. Also maybe offer critiques or redlines. Godspeed.

>> No.6777378

>>6777182
>>6777328
Addendum: make it so any donor can submit and vote on any idea for the commission poll. You might consider making it so $1=1 vote on the commission poll, but idk. That way you’re incentivizing people to support you, and it’s more fair to the people who support you the most. It also just makes sense. Like, if you buy more raffle tickets, you have more chances to win. You can also split your votes between poll options. Like “oh this is a cool idea, but this other one is cool too, that’s be my second choice. Hm, I’ll put 10 votes on choice 1, and 5 votes on choice 2.” It might feel like pay-to-win for the others if some whale comes in and mogs them all. This could be mitigated by perhaps saying that above x dollars in donations, you get your own commission, so it’s fair to the other voters. Or if you’ve got one $10 donor and 9 1$ donors, you can say that every $5 segment = 1 vote. Like $1-$5=1 vote, $6-10$= 2 votes, 11-15$= 3 votes, etc. That way you don’t have the $10 guy totally in charge of the polling for the crowdfunded commission, but he still gets an edge as a reward for his support. I’d also publicize the polls to incentivize non-donors to donate so they can vote on your next drawing. Like “oh that’s a cool idea, I’d vote for that. Hm let me donate so I can vote.”

You can incentivize subscriptions and other donors by making it so that if you’ve got a monthly subscription, you’re “registered to vote” for every poll that occurs in that month. If you’re a one-time donor, then you’re “registered to vote” in whatever poll is currently ongoing.

You know this is probably a pretty fucking good business model for an artist. I might try this once I claw my way out of begdom and if I ever decide to post stuff publicly and do the whole “artist” thing. You’re already there right now, obviously. If you had a “crowdfunded commission” poll thing set up right now, I’d sign up desu.

There are… things… I’d like to see you draw.

Which brings up an interesting conundrum. What about veto power? Do you need or want a veto? If white bread and deforestation wins the poll, how do you refuse? Idk. But you’d better draw the runner up. Maybe a refund for those who voted for the winning choice? That situation is not likely to come up since your followers are your followers because they follow you and your art and style. So, obviously, their tastes will largely align with yours and your style.
PS — I too would donate if there were an easier way. I’m rather fond of you, Red Blob Senpai. Your art is good and your women are supple and squishy and just…

One month ago I looked at my first attempts at human figures and wanted to neck myself. Now I sometimes even think that my recent figures are "decent for a beg".
If I push through and just keep drawing, the figure I drew today will be on the "look how bad it was lmao" side of the comparison. This is my goal.

I sympathize with you anon, but drawing pinups wasn't a sustainable living to begin with. It's only natural that jobs fizz out.

this
coming from a shitty code monkey web dev background something we always held as a rule is to treat the end user like a complete retard and do as much for them as possible so they dont need to user their 3 brain cells to use our products thus making it easier to get new users and retain them

this works for any kind of business, the less friction and barriers you have in front of your users/clients, the easier it will be to get them

also, dont do things based on how you think or your group of friends or 'internet bubble" thinks, 99% of the public are "normies" so gotta cater to them somehow, even those who pay for nice fetish art are, at the end of the day, normies at least in knowledge so even if your product is niche, let it be the only thing niche about it

picasso mastered the "just draw", he drew like 70 years since young age and had like 12 very distinct styles. the older he got the less fucks he gave about proportions. so i would guess he made his hands bigger on purpose. after all it was just a mindless doodle for him

focus on drawing and making monochrome comics. Finishing your work tells you your weaknesses, so please ink it often. Begs often lie to themselves about their skill because they leave everything loose and sketchy.

Hm. I see. That sucks, anon. I hope things get better for you. There must still be some way for it to be done. If shady porn sites can do it, so can you, probably. Regardless, I’d still not mention that you plan to invest any surplus in crypto. Or that you plan to invest anything at all. If you need people to pay you in crypto, then okay, but don’t say how you plan to invest it. Just say you’ll save any extra and leave it at that. People don’t need to know what you do with your money. Especially because telling people you’re gonna put it into some obscure memecoin is gonna sound like… “hey any extra cash I get I’m gonna gamble on penny stocks and lotto tickets.” idk shit about crypto, but to most people, hearing your plans will make them think “oh if I give this guy money, he’ll squander it.” Or, best case scenario, “hm, he’s going to be more responsible with this money than I am by investing it and potentially making more money; instead of giving it to him to invest, I should just invest it myself.” Thus, I strongly recommend you change the verbiage as I mention here >>6777328

This picture filtered many people, and this is a good thing. Who ever gets even slightly discouraged by any of these statements was ngmi to begin with

Just draw. Take a sketchbook with you everywhere you go and just draw. Pic related I drew with a fine liner at a park, I NEVER use fineliner since I only do digital. Paying really close attention to each line was kind of refreshing than just endlessly pressing ctrl + y

I like your posts anon, and I think you give decent advice, but you just pulled a major hypocrisy.
Also, why would anyone be charitable to you when you think people are sheep and you are more savvy than them, when you look down on them for being "in the system" or whatever? You are asking for them to donate their "system" money, after all.

This. Regardless of your opinion on them, I'd be glad to pay taxes to people like Kennedy, Kissinger, von Braun etc.
Meanwhile paying taxes nowadays means you're a cuck and a coward intentionally feeding a growing corrupt monstrous cancer-blob that hates you.

I mean, the giant crab makes it obvious it's made as a joke. However, there's some truth in here as well. Talent is absolutely a thing in art, and people with talent do not need to read Vilpu, Loomis, etc. And they will pump out good-looking art way more easily. I don't think anyone can really deny that.

he is right in this thread. he presumably went to art school, touched grass and took his meds so he is less schizo but his art style remain recognizable. these are his
