For the loomis head dude. Okay, so I did a ball in the upper right and I shaded it. Then I aded a shitty cone and a shitty ball in the sides and shaded those then I shaded the head. I'd recomend you observe small objects from life and practice at it. Remember the basics bruh ;)

Do you do a lot of finished works? That's a big thing I see with people. They don't wanna finish their works which would be like learning how to get out of a parking spot with the car but never practicing going in the highway.

I mean, do you have a lot of finished works you are proud of or most of it is sketches/studies?

Worse, probably. These are just some stylized doodles from imagination that I did last month. I can't do anything more than doodles, really. When I try to add fine detail or do Loomis-style construction, it tends to look even worse. Alright, let me have it full force.

How do you guys stay focused on one piece of art without getting bored? Often when I start a new draw I'm in the zone but as time goes on I become bored and disinterested. Then it's on to the next thing only to have the cycle repeat. I've tried taking a break and coming back to it but I never regain interest again. I genuinely love drawing and will continue to draw regardless if I actually produce anything but it'd be nice to show people completed work. What am I doing wrong? Am I just being a lazy? Should I push myself harder?

[Anonymous No.4217904]

>>4217880
I've done finished works before, yes, even recently
But then when I posted them I got shit critiques along the lines of polishing turd and there's so much wrong I can't critique this
So I fell back into the self improvement loop instead of attempting more finished works

And yeah, some of my finished works I would say I'm proud of at the very least, if not for me thinking they look good, but more just being proud I finished something.
And anybody who does art has a dysproportional amount of sketches and studies compared to finished works, it's be incredible if there was an artist who only ever produced several hour long finished works with no repetitive non polished studies

[Anonymous No.4217907]

>>4217897
It's magical. When It's very hard to describe, but when you see your shitty lines and shading take life you are hooked in for life and there's no going back. Sometimes is just that ONE touch up that creates the piece and you just feel like MAAAAAN, this is beautiful.

Did 20+ hour pieces and the last 6 were just polishing small details that brought even more to life and it's just like... wow, magic. But if you don't feel that, then I think it's a problem that you don't have enough guidance to create the magical feeling.

[Anonymous No.4217911]

>>4217907
I know exactly what feeling your talking about! I see it in other people's art and this is what originally sparked interest in art for me. Maybe I should try just a little harder.

[Anonymous No.4217912]

>>4217897
With breaks, stretches, food, and an occasional change of environment.
Also as you practice more, or make more finished works, your process will speed up.
Sometimes, the thing you have to do, if you get disinterested if you have any kind of break, is to just sit there for however long and force yourself to see through to completion.

>am I being lazy?
If you have to ask yourself this, chances are you aren't being lazy and you just lost interest. If you are yelling at yourself to finish it, you may even have executive dysfunction.
>should I push myself harder
If you are genuinely getting tired or entering the stages of burnout, take a rest for a while, maybe a week, or just until you start getting extreme urge to draw or getting ideas for things to draw, don't push yourself but don't limit yourself and force yourself not to draw either

Is there a decent book on gesture drawing? I’m sure there is, but I can’t recall by who.
Also, any advice on it?

[Anonymous No.4217943]

>>4217928
I see. If that's your style, the pants thing, then kudos. But here's one thing that's important to know. If you chose it to be that way, it will always be flat.

It's becuase of local color vs luminic value confusion. Right now, the girl has the colour lack in the dress and the shoes with no variation in luminic value (ie how much light is given to her) even the color dark has lots of luminic variations.

But mainly, in drawings without colour the main way to achieve volume is with the variation between light and darkness. And it's hard to do that when the "shadows" you add, like in the sleeve and the inside of the neck is the same tone as a color of a dress. Your eye won't know if it's looking at a shadow or looking at a color so it will be flat. But if that's how you like it in your style, no objections.

[Anonymous No.4217946]

>>4217943
Oh no, it was just a stylistic experiment, but I don't really convey much depth in my drawings 'cause I never really finish em.
Here's something you can call finished.

[Anonymous No.4217948]

It was originally a doodle on paper. I just wanted to actually practice lines on tablet since I almost never use it since told to stick to traditional until good.

>Also, clothes wrap AROUND the form. It's not a line next to the body outline.
I get what you mean in that I find clothes way harder to draw even when practicing from life, but I'm just not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong. I should read more about it eventually but feel form/construction/value is something I should focus on getting down right first.

[Anonymous No.4217952]

>>4217938
It's a messy redline, but look at yourself. you don't have clothes as part of your skin. They are separate volume that wraps around you and there shoudl be space to show it.

Okay so something as easy as just giving a little space. Idk why I didn't do that. Thanks.

[Anonymous No.4217964]

Yes. Model drawing. Something akin to this. First big volumes and then the details. This is easier than portraits and builds up your confidence. Try kettles, shoes, bottles, boxes, weird shaped objects and create small drawings of them.

Wrinkles are not easy Anon so do not worry about it. Just take a little time to study them look at yourself in a mirror when doing some poses just understand the logic on how they work.

As for the coloring being flat it is because there is too little variation on the shading and highlights, find a light source and add bigger areas of shadows and small areas of highlights depending on the material lik you did with the blood drop things and it will be way better.

Good luck on your studies!

While the /int/ thread is a content starved desert cause nobody posts there anymore.

/ic/ at the moment is essentially 90% gatekeeping retards that tell you to go somewhere else.
In the /beg/ Thread discription it says:
>We should not have to make new threads or post in the /draw/thread with our fundamental exercises.
So unless someone can tell you what fundamental you're lacking you can happily ignore them as a shitposter when they tell you to go to /beg/.
For someone who's been coming here for a year I can promise you that no one frequents /beg/ that can give someone of your level actual advice, no one can do it for me and you're far above that.
Stick to /draw/, /alt/ and /int/ though atm it remains to be seen if /int/ can survive as the shitposts far outweigh legitimate posts.

It's weird that you question how anybody could define beg and then immediately define beg yourself.

The bottom line is that most of the people here that get told to move to int don't come near the average skill level there. Should the standards for int be lower? Do we need a pro thread or do we need a turbobegNGMI thread that proceeds beg? Maybe so but for now we have what we have and most people who get told to leave are ultimately still closer to the norm of /beg/ then they are /Int/

Well clearly his proportions are off this head is far bigger then it should be.

Generally cheap figurines are a good reference if you specifically want to practice construction as a beginner.

[Anonymous No.4218508]

>>4218496
First off, if you are going to be doing portraits of photos, look better at your composition. Nose is too small and lips are too low. It ain't easy to replicate a photo.

As for values, give EVERYTHING in the face a lower value. Your drawing should have lots of middle tones and some dark tones (midbrow) all around. So, if you were with me here in flesh, I'd tell you to grab an HB and give everyting in the face a lower value. Then grab a B or 2B and work in the darkest spots. Then work the light with an eraser with a lot of care.

[Anonymous No.4218521]

>>4218103
Ann just relax, first pic a light direction and build up your lights and shadows based around that light source. You do not need to worry about texture, that only comes after when youhave got your shapes blocked in well.

Not bad studies Anon, I think the middle one is the best out of the three. Not sure how long these took individually I would advise you that you take the details a bit slower and step by step. Spend more time with planning out the facial construction and making sure that the measurements are in place. You do this by taking putting your sketch down and taking a look at it from far away then taking a short break of 5-10 minutes to clear your mind and have a look at your work with fresh eyes. Trust me that can help immensely to notice your mistakes.

A bit part of adding the detail is that we often get lost in it and very slowly we distort it at places but it is too slow for the mind to register those subtle changes while concentrating on work. That is why taking breaks and looking at it from far can help because you can plan that you will only work at this and that part only before putting it out again.

Keep practicing!

Alright, so I've heard a lot of different things for recommended time spent drawing
"16 hours every day"
"8 hours every day"
"24 hours in total each week" (3.5 hours every day)

What's the general consensus on the amount of time spent drawing every day, ignoring if you're spending that time studying or practicing correctly or not
Currently I've just been doing 24 hours each week, but I only really reach maybe 18 hours by the end, yet I've been noticing some great improvement.

Will getting an ipad or some other screen tablet help close the gap between my pencil drawings and my digital drawings?

When I do a drawing with pencil and paper then I usually feel pretty satisfied with the result, but when I try to do the same sort of drawing with my intuos then it almost always comes out looking really shitty. The drawings on the left took a few minutes at most. I only had to do a quick under sketch in orange and then go over it with black. The drawings on the right took much longer, had to be refined with several under sketches starting from a light gray and working up to a black, and most still look like trash.

I feel like I have no reliable control with the intuos and I'm always guessing at where the lines are going to end up. Are screen tablets usually a magic fix for closing that gap with people who are hopeless and never adapt to non-screen tablets?

Yes but also absolutely not. At the very least you should gain a basic understanding of how forms (cubes, cylinders etc )work and turn in perspective. The reason why beginning art classes often features still lives with fruit and bottles and stuff like that is because those objects are all fairly basic volumes to study with. So while you don't need to draw plants or animals you also can't just jump straight into people without first working on your fundamentals and expect it to work out in any efficient manner.

Good for a sketch but flat since there is no lineweight or values. And I don't know what's the point of the redish background.

Nah, it's not wasted 13 bucks. But there's a trick. You can break the joints and put wire through them and make them much better. Also it's not wasted as long as you don't take it as a replacement of a human form. Take it as another model. Just draw what you see in it. Don't try to put muscles on your drawings. Just draw it and shade as you see it and it'll serve you well.

[Anonymous No.4219531]

>>4219516
desu sama, I never got the whole "floating figure" thing with color background. Most drawings imo should have a figure and background. The whole single figure sketch meme started IIRC when Michael Angelo made amazing anatomical sketches and people just wanted them as such. But that's because he was a master and the level of anatomical detail was insane.
I think for us mortals right now, it's a good idea to do figure and background correctly and learn how to do values on figures.

[Anonymous No.4219532]

>>4219531
>learn how to do values on figures
A good example or place to start being?

[Anonymous No.4219550]

>>4219532
The point of doing values on figures is to achieve volume. Volume mainly (if we are talking without color) is achieved in two ways. Lineweight (forget it for now) and difference between light and shadow.
What I see in your red background lady is that the anatomy is well done, but putting lims as single color makes it impossible to have volume since there is no luminic value difference. i.e. there no part with more light on it and another with less light on it.
A common pitfall is to confuse local color with value. For example, let's say I had a black shirt and I was standing in a park in a sunny day, and a friend was in a dark room with a white shirt. If we were to only do a value drawing, my black shirt would seem "whiter" than my friend in the dark room, even if his shirt was white, for the sole reason that more light is hiting it.

Now, this small novella was just to let you know that when drawing anything with value, you look at the form, the light direction and you do the light, half light, half dark, dark places. The wooden mannequin and quality pencils will help a lot.

As for reading, loomis has got you pretty well covered but it will take a lot of practice plus loomis to achieve a good value drawing.

Pic related. That's called a shitty small sketch. For value training shitty small sketches are your friend. Don't go for beauty. Go for big ugly lights and shadows as you squint your eye in the model. If you don't have a model you need to really imagine a light source.

i tried taking up drawing again already but didn't understand the importance of concepts such as form, perspective and using shapes but now i'm trying again with these in mind, practicing boxes and other shapes and trying to apply them into construction.

Doing good so far. The main thing I'd say it's the left breast. It should be lower. Make an horizontal line where the right nipple is and that's where the left nipple should.
About the pecs thing. Well pic related. Behind the yellowy fat gland you'll see the pectoralis muscle in this anatomy chart. What you need to understand is that in the upper chest, both pecs have the volume of a thin box, and the breast have the volume of a sphere. And in females, the sphere is "over" middle to low pec, as the place. The pecs and breasts are anatomical structures that are related to each other and both have volume.

Hi again Anon! Anon here who gave you crit on the orange haired girl awhile ago. I am really liking the way you drew this here is how I wold change it slightly I think the two eyes do not really match up in shape I tried to change the right side one to do, I placed the nostril a bit higher because I felt it didn't match the nose. I changed the shape of the neck because if you turn your head to the side the neck tendon becomes visible as it stiffens. Otherwise I added small things like trying to make the collar of the shirt more 3D shaped and some minor alterations here and there like the shoulder angle and stuff.

I agree with other anons that said that the body appears flat I might have go at the rest of the body a bit later.

Go darker beneath the neck and beneath the hair. It'll give it some volume. Perhaps make the skin not as gray looking.

I do like this! Even though the anatomy is certainly not right, I do like it a lot. If I ever wrote a post apocalyptic story I'd have no doubt about having it as a cover.

hello anon, dont feel bad
try working on the face anatomy, get some anime references and observe it closely
your hair looks pretty good tho :^))

Muscles of the arm are a bit on the thin side and don't forget the tunic in her hip. If you fix those things and clean up the lines you are ready to start with value. Post your work as soon as you start with value.

I think you should stop coloring from imagination at the stage you're art.
Your anime girls are very flat and off-perspective, which is the bigger issue. Focus on one thing at once.

[Anonymous No.4220582]

It does seem fine but if you look at the place between the pear and the jar, that litle triangle, it should be waaaay darker all around probably (unless you are using a very powerful light). Check it in the model.

It ain't that bad bro. You gave the body a 3D form. That's pretty good.

I can't draw. Which brand of paints should I get to do landscapes in wet on wet? I doubt the Bob Ross ones are the best for their money and cheap acrylics leave results comparable to those of a semi-skilled kindergartener.

hello anon, thanks for the reply
i worked on the values but i think its pretty bad, although its good compared to the other times i painted

[Anonymous No.4220655]

>>4220639
Same anon that gave the reply. Well done on sticking with it. Now I have an idea to keep working here
Let's say values are 1 in the most dark and 10 as in the most bright in the drawing.
The triangle of darkness that is form from the abs (including most of them) to the left arm. Conecting points of the triangle would be the pubic area on top of the dress, the armpit and the left writst.
It would look better if let's say, now that triangle is a 6 in value, lower it to a 3. Everything, including thae abs the arm and finger. Also put a 5 in the fold in front of the dress that in your drawing is not there.

As soon as you lower it (And don't be afraid to do it. Then work on some light 4 tones in the triangle. Then post it again here. Good luck anon.

Keep going and complete it 'till you finish it IMO. I dunno why most people here don't take works to their completion phase. You get this nice feeling of "wow, this is nice what I did but I also see my mistakes more clearly."

Most people who are just stuck on sketching will never experience this really cool feeling.

"Gesture" seems esoteric to me as hell when I read/listen to people explain it. Is this an advanced concept or should I be beginning my figure drawings with gesture?

[Anonymous No.4220794]

>>4220766
lol, you are thinking too much. Make a stick figure of a pose you like and add meat to it later. If you don't like it re do it. The procedure is as simple as that. Being great at it takes practice, that's all.

so where does the autismal construction and line/angle measuring come in?

[Anonymous No.4220815]

>>4220684
These redraws also contain errors but I hope they help. Main points:
>bigger braincases (neoteny is important)
>better necks
>less emphasized jawlines
>moved some parts around, esp ears and eyebrows

If I were you I'd make some copies of, and works inspired by my favorite artists. And check out Hitokaku head edition ch 1 (if it's too difficult now just keep that one in mind until later)

Finished. I'm happy with the result, but still hate my inability to draw hands.
I also got stuck for a day just with basic construction because I suck balls at that. Then, bizarrely, all of sudden I went all zen and got everything figured out and the art finally took shape.
I went in a fucking trance and all I could hear was a buzz in my ears.
