I'm this anon. This is my drawing from day 18. I feel like I've improved throughout this month but I don't really have a clue how to shade with my brush pen. I feel like I got the foreshortening decent in this post but the arms are a little wonky.

[Anonymous No.4379766]

I’d keep a regular pen around for shading so that you can do some quick hatching. Brush ink + pen hatching can look really good when done together.

minor gripes. her eye is huge and everything from about the nose/eye up is out of proportion/perspective.

design your shadow shapes with the terminal first. it's a blobby mess with bad shape. you don't have to go full, greasy jeff watts. just anything you'll find mapping out the shadows will improve the figure immensely. look how much info he can lay in in 3-5 minutes. then the rendering is easy mode after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKfsZaNrmzM&t=12m

experiment with putting a block of tone or something behind the figure on the shadow or light side so you can lose edges and get more contrast. you really don't need to have worried about her left arm at all if you can lose it in a shadow. another thing is that it's ok to change the reference. the area by her hand holding the stick could have a changed angle so that you can still see overlap of the stick and her body, but another shape between her hand and torso. this would also fix the tangent of her knuckles and the upper arm/armpit.

This might sound stupid but, where do you guys look when you draw? I don't mean looking at the model, but the page. Do you focus on small details you're drawing? Do you pick a midpoint and use your peripheral vision to see the bigger shapes? Do you try to unfocus your vision so as to not tunnel-vision certain parts of the figure/ref?
I've recently learned this is a big thing and I never see it mentioned/talked about.

What?

[Anonymous No.4391681]

>>4391610
You need to look at all parts. Mostly staring at the model, then focusing on the whole page and where you are working.. details etc. So it's not one or the other, it's all of it.

Periodically looking at a different part of your composition.. or even rotating the whole thing or stepping far away.. all serve important roles in helping you 'see' it more clearly. Changing perspective is important.

[Anonymous No.4391684]

>>4391681
(cont) Basically I'm trying to see that details are important and that's the zoom in and work close kind of work.. but more important are the way all of your parts work together so it visually makes sense as a whole, and for that you can't stay mentally/visually zoomed in... so i'd say most of the time your focus should be somewhat loose or zoomed out a bit... again it's not one or the other.

[Anonymous No.4391686]

>>4391684
(cont2) The analogy I would use would be for driving a vehicle.. Most of the time you are relaxing your focus and being aware of the overall picture in front of you.. whereas periodically you need to focus in on some details, like another car, the road turning, a street sign. So you need both.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm trying to work on my accuracy from ref without sitting there and measuring forever or using a grid. It's really hard to pinpoint what I'm doing wrong sometimes, but I will try to work on seeing the bigger picture more.

The variations in the poses are great, but I don't understand the point of getting up and going from one chair to another. The last pose where she's steadily falling asleep is brilliant. They have to have someone reading in bed who slowly blinks, yawns, closes their eyes, puts down the book and falls asleep. Someone who can essentially act.

Real life models use it for balance when doing poses for a long time. It's a lot easier to hold your arm out and keep it steady for 20 minutes if you put the weight into a pole against the ground. It also helps the artist compose and measure proportions by splitting the body up.

Long flowing lines vs chicken scratch. Should I be just using these long flowing lines for gestures and larger initial shapes? Or try to use them for everything? Every artist video I see tends to switch to those little scratchy lines after they block things in, but I feel like the line quality suffers a lot. Is it a matter of accuracy vs line quality???

Good shit, but I don't think that's easy to do. I find it weird how in your thigh example, the black version seems the least "correct", but the most appealing. Probably takes a shitton of work to find out what works and what doesn't, since observation isn't key.

not terrible technically,
but this looks incredibly boring. it looks like something out of a high school biology book that was specifically designed to be as dull as possible, so as not to excite the children

well like said, all aesthetic choices are just deviations from naturalism, so getting to know what anatomical stylization you find most appealing to you is just like finding what pallettes you like the most

but yes you will work a shitton

I can do coomer work, I'm doing these to be as clinical and anatomically accurate as i can. These are a lot pinker on my tablet though, I might need to adjust the saturation

Torso too wide, legs too short. Also lined paper is for writing.

Based face in the upper right, though

Do 10 pages of that a day, examine what you did wrong and fix it. Take notes to see what you keep getting wrong and figure how to fix that.

Thanks, that was actually helpful. I’ve realized I’m awful at proportions. Day 4 kicked my ass.

[Anonymous No.4412431]

mostly learning about painting in digital, i did a lot of figure drawing and painting in college, but color doesn't work the same in digital and blending colors is a totally different beast from running brush strokes over one another with actual pigment. i enjoy working on figure drawing in general. was never about feb, just about getting used to working on anything again. if you would all prefer me stop posting i will it's no big deal to me and i don't take it personally, it's just nice to see what others are doing and post my stuff along with it.
