READ THE STICKY if you need guidance when you haven't even started

Sticky: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj

TRY TO GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

REMEMBER, if you've just started out you work will not be good, it doesn't need to be, just get in to the swing of actually drawing, and learning how to study. Most of all, enjoy it.

They get straighter with practice and confidence, dont sweat it. Try to apply more pressure towards the opposite direction of the curve little by little until its just right. Also, even if you do it for years you may not get perfectly straight lines so keep your expectations low

I want to tell you to get off /beg/ because this is too aesthetic to be here, but I guess I'll just be nitpicky

-Pretty sure owl beaks are thicker than that. In your picture, it looks thin throughout, but I believe it starts off thick at the top, thickens in the middle, and tapers to a point at the bottom.

-The left arm (the one holding the telescope) is kinda messed up, I don't see how it can connect to the person

-The long legs seem anatomically correct, but they're usually covered with a lot more fur. As in, the fur from the abdomen should sag down enough to cover quite a bit of the leg. If you want to ignore this for your version of an owl, go ahead, but I personally like the aesthetic of a big, fluffy owl, rather than a stream-lined and 'skinnier' one

-Yup, tail is messed up. Make it curvier and fluffier (as in, more contours that indicate fluffiness).

-The bags look neat! It may add some extra depth if the edges of the ropes (like the ones around the neck) 'sunk' into the fur as it goes down. Very nitpicky though

This is surprisingly good practice work for somebody who's starting off with anime drawings

Yeah, start off with an understanding of real-life human faces work. As somebody who also started drawing because I watched some really aesthetic looking anime and wanted to create some of my own characters, knowing how human faces work makes it so much easier to create anime faces

I don't do digital art, so I can't really comment much on your drawing.

On the subject of 'too bad to continue', I feel like a skill not often talked about within the drawing community is courage. Specifically, having the courage to continue forwards with a drawing, even when it's not turning out quite how you want it. Knowing that what you're working on will be a 'failure' and still continuing onwards one of the hardest skills to learn, so don't feel bad for feeling too exhausted to continue working.

When I was starting out, I found one of the best ways to combat this feeling is to take a break from 'real' drawings and do more abstract, nonsensical stuff. Drawings where you aren't really focusing on anything, except for shapes and shadows. For example, here's something I sketched out today while at work. Drawings like this can give you a break from the immense complexity that drawing plants, animals, and humans can present, and those breaks are important

tldr: dont force hard drawings down your throat when you arent feeling it, try out some easy stuff for a bit and return to the harder things when you're up for it

If you want to help 'push' people into being honest enough to give criticism, I find it helpful to point out specific areas where you thought you got things wrong. Often times, non-artists don't know exactly what they don't like about a piece, so instead of saying a rude 'it doesn't look good and I don't know why', they just say it looks fine and bypass the entire situation. Pointing out unusual areas can help them focus in on the minutia of the drawing and see the flaws a bit more clearly

It has a very 'sketchy' feel, which I can appreciate. However, the sketchiness, combined with how complex this object seems to be, is a little distracting. I'd like it a lot more with some outlines around/within the form.

Past that, the color application seems almost random at times, especially on the stem. It feels like you're rushing certain aspects of the drawing, I'd recommend taking a closer look at your reference (or start using a reference if you arent using one already) to see how color is distributed on the form in real life

As in what books or concepts do I need to know before trying to do it? Been doing a bit of drawabox and just burning out from doing these exercises. I attempt to do anything human related and it looks like shit.

Do I just grind a gorillion gestures a day?

Started getting into more ref drawing. I know some hands and feets don't look good, but I was using pen on purpose so I couldn't erase. One thing I am not strong with is lower bodies. What do you guys think I should focus on improving.

Ive been drawing this shit my whole life so dont judge too hard. I did this with very little reference so hopefully its not too weird lookin. Took me a few days. But i guess its nothing a computer couldnt fix right?? Its on an 11x14 poster paper and i might color it unless it looks that bad

I've been drawing for over 2 years, but never did any portraits til a few months ago (if you want to know why, it's just cause I'm worthless garbage and utterly frightened to go out of my comfort zone because I fucking suck at everything I try)

That being said I eventually had enough of always drawing circles with a criss cross for heads so I decided fuck it. Give me some harsh criticism and pointers to get better at portrait drawing.

Did this one with refferrence I guess (a mirror, yes I'm fucking ugly, noI'm not going post a picture of my face but it does look quite similar to me)

Thank you. The glass pannel for the right eye (left facing drawing) should be bigger because it's closer right? I really struggle with getting glasses right on faces.

Here is another one I did with a reference if it helps criticize my drawing more efficiently. Stuff I already noticed myslef : The forehead bump is too big/prominent. The lips are too large and have the wrong angle, especially the lower one. There is also too much space between the chin and the start of the clavicle/shoulder. The ear is also completely wrong is shape and angles, and the hair has too much volume on the top. I'm unsure if these mistakes are what gives him such a “flat” angle compared to the obviously subtle tilt of the ref.
I noticed I do this all the time, flattening and straightening things unconsciously, and I'm not sure how to really get better at not doing it.

Something about the pinky on the bottom one seems off. Or maybe it's because of the palm size, unsure.

Try to get the general shapes, volumes and proportion right before going into detailed muscles imo. Try short timed gestures, less chicken scratching and focus on getting the general muscular shapes

Think about narrative. Why are we looking at this? What's the focal point? The one you've painted is an unrealistic clump of trees in the background. What's interesting about this scene?

One suggestion I would make is to look at actual forests for ideas. With trees that close together (not that thick, though), there would be no grass on the ground, because no light would ever reach it, or it would be more ferns and scrub. Which gives you an opportunity to draw interesting roots, rocks, saplings, and possible ferns.

Also, where is the light on the ground coming from? It doesn't match the rest of the scene.

Look at this image. Why is it visually more interesting than yours? What leads the eye? What balances it?

There's no gesture here, it's a static pose. Gesture is movement, action, flow. You're drawing rigid, unmoving poses.

Gesture is also not drawing the complete figure, in detail.

That is why I recommended short timed gestures. You don't have the time to chicken scratch along a leg when you have 2 minutes to get the figure down. Free your hand a bit, draw with your wrist, focus on getting the spirit of the pose with the general proportions. Then if you have time, the volumes. Do that for a while then go back and try some more detailed drawings and you should already see some improvement.

Here's what I suggest. I understand the urge to put your idea down on paper even if you don't have great skills. I can now see what you were going for. Now that youve done that, try it the proper way. Try to draw a person by the book. It won't turn out how you want but it'll be great practice for you to learn to do this better. It's the only way to get to where you wanna be. Trust me I get it.

I think you are in the right direction but not getting the subtleties. The best example, look at the eyelid crease. On yours it curves way up at the end. In the photo it curves up but only just so slightly. Things like that are why yours is coming off a bit like a caricature.

Line work looks great. 2 things that stand out to me. One is the body's just end half way down. You should draw their legs. Second is honestly, I don't really like the faces. They look cutesie somehow. Like they're made of smoothed down plastic or 3d models. Hard to explain. Maybe the eyes are too high on the head? Idk It's just a style preference though.

I could write out a list of every error I can see, but it wouldn't do you much good at this point. You need a stronger base of anatomical knowledge in general. Start with learning the forms of the spine, ribcage, and pelvis, then move on to limbs. Trying to draw a body without understanding how to draw a skeleton is like trying to build a house without a foundation.

Proko gets a lot of shit here, but his figure drawing videos are generally quite good - I'd check them out if you haven't already. Good luck, and keep drawing.

My 2 minutes figure/gesture drawings from the past couple of days. I understand that there's not much to critique if one only posts a bunch of quick sketches so I actually finished the last one. I'd still appreciate any comments on my gestures. Am I doing things right? How do you draw/construct hips? How do you 'see' them on references? I can draw ribcages because in some models they are pretty visible but even if they're not I don't find it too hard to guess how they are oriented.

I just finished chapter 4 on Huston's Figure drawing so my shading/rendering is just me trying to copy what I see on the photo as closely as possible.

I'm thinking of dropping the 2 minutes drawings and simply draw a pose as many times I can under 5 minutes until it looks 'right' or time runs out. If one of them looks right I'll render it, otherwise I'll move on to another pose. Does that sound right or where do I go from here?

How do I fix this hand? It looks very off but my god given references aren't really helpful and I can't find a good hand reference.
I'm trying to plot how the shadows would go before colouring, which is actually the thing I'm trying to practice.

Gesture drawing is NOT CONSTRUCTION.

Construction is for POSE.

Gesture is not supposed to be a finished drawing. It's to understand movement and tension, and flow. It's also a warm up exercise to more filled out drawings.

If you're doing a fully rendered pose, and going for accuracy, spend longer than 5 minutes.

You're completely missing the point of all of this. It's really simple.

Gesture: warm up and capturing movement, tension and flow of body contours, and things like center of weight.

5 minute drawings: capturing a pose, and contour, or studying specific parts of the body, like a shoulder, or knee, or hands and feet.

Longer drawings, usually we did half hour and multiple hour sessions: full rendering and lighting. Focus on the full figure.

so the story behind this is i decided to ACTUALLY draw something and finish it this time so i started drawing a sexci witch lady on a br00m but then i accidentally merged the lineart layer with the color layer WITHOUT coloring the lineart so i tried salvaging it and then realized that her neck and spine didnt connect and that i cant draw hands so i tried making her a cheap street whore instead and it turned out shitty and unfinished like everything i draw. rate please

Do more gesture drawings and think about anatomical forms. That should help with your chicken scratch too. It's okay to be loose but you need to be fluid at the same time.
This drawing lacks form. Imagine your whore transparent. Draw through your whore and compare it to some references or loomis drawings.

Im not him but this is solid advice. Also try not to miss the point of gesture drawing. Its about training your eyes to see "movement", which is a design principle, within the human body. Its not about drawing wiggly stick people.

And yes study form too. Your drawing is flat and doesn't give ant indication of depth or dimension.

I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Are my 2 minutes drawings not gesture drawing, then? Do I need to practice actual gesture drawing if I'm already seeing some improvement with whatever it is that I've been doing so far? Can I use construction on 5 minutes drawings?

I don't think Huston's examples on the gesture chapter are any simpler than my drawings but can you post an example of what actual gesture drawing looks like?

And again, where do I go from here then?

You move onto more advanced drawing, and incorporate gesture into them. You're learning how to imply movement, and apply pleasing to the eye flow to figures. It's not a learn then forget thing to do - you build on it.

Gesture is simple. It's breaking down the figure to the simplest form to indicate what the gesture is, like "throwing", or "kicking". It's exploring the form in different angles, so later, when you're building a more finished composition, you have familiarity with form and movement. It's looking at a composition, and remembering *that time with that model where there was that cool curve going from the arm, through the hips, down through the legs."

The next step is to start applying it to poses, to make them more interesting and pleasing to the eye.
If someone can look at the drawing, and can tell what the figure is doing, you did all you need.

Best case, find a local college to take a figure drawing class. Studying it on your own is way harder. You need a teacher there, in the moment, to help guide you. It's one of the few art education things that isn't really possible to study outside of a life studio. If you can't take a class, go draw real people doing things like construction, or dancing, or sports, and just capture what they're doing, focusing on the gesture. Random photos really don't cut it, especially if you don't really know what gesture is, or what a good reference would be. If you can only use photos, choose photos of people DOING things, like musicians, or athletes, things like that.

I've been told multiples workflows to paint materials yet I don't manage this at all.
Starting with forms? Tried and failed. With laying down the shadows first? Failed again. Light? Same shit.
How the hell do I do this? What's a good workflow for this exercise?

Despite being a fan of the series I do have to admit the art quality ranges from pretty ok to inconsistent to bad.

The author really prioritizes gesture and exaggeration at the expense of everything else. Sometimes his stuff can look good though when he pays attention to proportions and anatomy as well.

So like this?
If so, how do the stretching and pinching/contracting work?
It feels like he drew the forms and then symbol drew pinches and stretches [stretch doesn't have any folds drawn, pinch is >>3898858 (?)], specifically on that one I labled "kinda abstract."

Although if you're going to just say study fundies, I am I am. Going through vilppu, loomis, and some other books I have lying around. Looking for more specific feedback I guess, maybe about using pastel or the drawing itself.

I'm not really sure how to explain it I guess. Have you ever made bread? Imagine a nice soft bread dough, if you just sort of plop it around. Or like find images of fat fucks doing yoga. you'll see how rolls gather on the contracting side, and stretch out into a smoother surface on the other lol.

Put as much attention into the full figure as you did the nipple.

Especially the face.

Skin has more color than white, peach, and black. Don't use black on the figure at all - it's not there in real life or in photos. Learn to see the color and values that are really there.

Don't scribble hair. It has form, shape, volume, and lighting. Capture that.

Don't use black, except sparingly, and ONLY for the darkest value in the piece. Use color and values.

Work on capturing the contour.

Commit to a style, if you're going to outline part of the figure, do all of it.

Study value. It's all over the place here. The yellow mass in the background completely throws the composition off, isn't needed.

Nipples don't point in the same direction. If you see one straight on, the other will be in profile.

Don't cheat and scribble in large areas. If you can't make something that's interesting to look at, leave it blank. Every square inch should be done purposefully and get attention as every other.

Not a complete waste of time, but you need a lot more study.

Pay more attention to the transition of the diaphram to the hips. It's not a flesh tube, it's a system of muscles and skin and organs. They have distinct shapes.

Draw the damn crotch.

It's a good start. Keep going. Pay as much attention to the whole figure as you do the breasts. Look at what's actually there, not what you think is there.

You need to focus more on the drawing. Those eyes...no. Just no. You have major issues all over the body. You're putting the cart before the horse here. Get the underlying drawing right, then color it.

The upraised arm. C'mon. You know wrists don't look like that. Put the work in.

Dark red? Why? Honestly curious why you think that's the right choice.

Me, I'd go with cooler colors, like purples, browns, greens. That's what is really there, in life. A warm dark red indicates heat, or red environmental light, like a rimlight from a fireplace.

Shadows in skin should be cooler in temperature, the highlights warmer. Depending on context, of course.

The whole idea is the illusion of depth. The juxtaposition of cool vs warm helps do that - and the juxtaposition of primaries in the eye. A vastly simplified example is how old school 3D worked, with the red and blue lenses - the eye struggles to see both colors at the same time, so it quickly focuses back and forth between the two, and the slight offset and the fast focus creates depth and volume. So, if you offset a warm red with a cool green, you get a 'pop" of depth.

The forearms seem kind of stubby in the left sketch. The extendend arm especially suffers from snowman syndrome. Try to focus more on the asymetry like you did in the center one.
The center is the best. I think the arm thats pulled back would probably be a bit smaller but whatever.
The perspective on the leg in the right is real weird. It looks like you ran out of paper so Im guessing thats why it is the way it is. For a kick like that though, the entire upper body is going to be tilted. The pose you have doesn't really make sense or display any movement. A kick (or any other movement) involves the whole body not just the leg. Center sketch shows weight, the other two dont and it shows.
Look at some limbs in perspective and don't forget gesture. Be more like center sketch.

A cool red is basically purple. "Dark red" isn't purple, but it's just semantics. He should be using cooler colors in the shadows, not warm.

And purples and red that are towards the purple spectrum could work better with a blue blanket, although the subtlety is probably above his skill level. Better to just stick to basic color compositions at the beginner level.

Its legit, No one owns a pose but if you want to get better you should try understand it and change it so you get a better understanding and can make shit up better. if a pose isnt working you can just take a photo of yourself doing the pose and work it out that way. or a small video and screenshot the picture of the pose when your in position

Pic related has been my progress through a sketchbook over the last month. Top line was all about 2 months ago, before I got my current sketchbook, and bottom is a couple things I drew this week. Everything in between was mostly blank heads and geometry, so I left it out. I think I'm improving. By no means good, but I'm enjoying my progress.
Anyways, besides my shameful humblebragging, I want to know if a helpful anon would tell me what I fucked up about the nose and eyes in the pic of the girl, and how in the fuck capes work for the guy to the left of her.

You are focusing way too much on workflow when you clearly have bigger problems. Workflows just make things quicker or slightly easier, you should be able to do the texture in any workflow. You are not failing because of workflow.

It seems like you have a lot of truble just wraping the texture around a sphere. Have you tried to just copy a texture as is? Because if you can't do that then there is no point in moving to something more complex.
Also, you went directly for textures with patterns and repeating 3d Shapes, have you tried to do the basic textures (like metal, plastic, rubber, concrete, etc) before jumping into these more advanced ones?
