Post what you drew today

One of the three things

:/

>>7612402
Gyaru Yotsuba?

>>7612412
i like your funny language little asia man

feed back appreciate

A bunch of practiceslop and I topped it all off by failing to draw a simple figure from imagination.

>>7612506
Hey Anon, thank you for the feedback! Can you give practiceslop detail? I will work on this …

nothing of note, just touched up old pieces

Work doodle.

>>7612492
The form sucks.

>>7612875
Machu! Machu!

I’ve been listening to a lot of tmbg

>>7612402
Lol they really do look like this

>>7612594
Cute <3

>>7612782
I love KH

Slowly working on this piece when I can, worked on some of the highlights and shadows today.

>>7613023
Looks cool, I especially like the church and sky.

Mogs all of the uninspired shit that receives thousands of votes by sex-deprived talentless sycophants, right Sakimichan?

:3

>>7614380
render master...
I kneel and beg of you:
tell us how you learned to render so well? Which video or book helped you the most? How much time do you spend on this?

>>7614404
It's really not as hard as it looks, most of it is just getting the values right. This took like 15 minutes to render.

Pay attention to what makes certain materials what they are. Metal will turn reflective around sliding surfaces and is very smooth, plastic will develop a fine white powder on the surface as it wears, and almost always has some light warping and dents, even on solid objects. Practically *everything* is shiny, it's just very diffusely reflective. And everything is covered in fingerprints.

Honestly, don't bother with painting resources for this kind of thing. I mostly picked it up from doing Blender stuff. Blender Guru's PBR tutorial is good, but it's ancient at this point, and there's probably better stuff around for Substance Painter.

>>7614413
I wouldn't even know how to translate the knowledge of materials to the tools provided in 2D programs. It's more intuitive in 3D with the material sliders etc. Roughness, translucent, .... No such thing in Krita.Even though I know how plastic looks like, best I can do is approximate it with flat colors.
I now realize I lack color talent. Can't have it all!

new meds just dropped

Tried doing some environmental thumbnails
No idea how this stuff works

>>7614497
You're focusing too much on lines, not enough on value. Ignore outlines completely

>>7614432
Ayoo. Thats preatty goood

>>7614517
Is that different from what this guys talking about https://x.com/noahbradley/status/1932017757639344343
I definitely see the shapes/values over lines thing more in the wild so it seems like the way to go I just wonder if there's a midpoint that can look alright

>>7614805
thanks. here's what I drew today

>>7615106
Yeah, that's pretty much the same thing.

You can use lines, but the trouble is, most of the form information is in the values. Moebius used mostly lines, but he takes advantage of a lot of little tricks to exaggerate the contours and make sure everything still looks nice and 3D

I wouldn't go for a midpoint, though. Lines over rendering makes environments feel very small, it works okay in interiors sometimes, but landscapes you really want that sense of scale to come out. Think of it in terms of line weight. Your lines get thinner the further away from the camera they get. But in a landscape, that distance is so far, that basically everything always appears lineless. And if you break that rule, your background appears uncannily close to the camera.

You know you're jealous and seething >:)

>>7615396
>You know you're jealous
of your art skills or the girl in your image?

She made of chocolate

Originally this was just a request from another board but I've gone further

Saw a new vtuber that was cute so I drew her. Also touched up stuff on some older oil paintings

I havent drawn anything today, just planned and thumbnailed ideas. Nothing was worth drawing because I know it would take me hours and tons of references. I hit endgame of drawing and I dont know waht to do, anything I want to draw is beyond my ability because I dont want to draw something simple.

>>7613533
This looks really good, much better than some of your older stuff

>>7617673
The proportions of this character resemble that of a child, which strikes me as quite peculiar given how brazenly she is dressed.

Spilt some ink

>>7618036
Such a gay way to say you drew something . And rotate and resize your image

Not today but the last thing I drew.

>>7618052
There are blobs of ink where they actually spilled some ink

Been working on this today

I had fun drawing this.

>>7618108
Dope design, original concept?

>>7618108
Omg that’s really cool. It reminds me of Bionicle concept art.

>>7618110
>>7618115
Thanks. The drawing is for worldbuilding project, mostly just wanted to draw this knight design in a sort of action scene

>>7618120
for my worldbuilding project*

>>7615133
i like these and they're cute

what am I doing wrong and what am I doing right?

>>7614460
soulful /beg/. I like the eyes for the character on the left.

Wow that so cool!!!

give me something to do

>>7618669
something that isnt an airbrushed woman with a vague background and Didot typeface, cmon man its been years

>>7618691
are you faggots complaining about times new roman now

>>7618697
dont deflect boy make new art this shit is so boring

>>7618700
is my own very personal, unique just to me, art not good enough for you.. personally?

Life keeps on marching at an ever accelerating pace, been difficult to find time to draw…. I think the worst part is I don’t feel confident when I put the pen on the page anymore

Was interesting to play with brush pens though, something new I haven’t really done before

>>7618737
Had to stop working on these because I was at a restaurant and the food arrived, but I looked at it afterwards and didn’t really have the motivation to finish them.

>>7618669
Not to turn this into the other thread but you could redraw my OC :P

Her name is Elaine and I’ve been neglecting her by not drawing her , the only part that I’m actually happy with is her hair and face, still haven’t found what her signature outfit should be

>>7618742
Forgot to rotate my images fuck!!!

>>7618267
What are you unhappy about?

>>7618701
No.

Unfortunately for you, how sentimental you are about your art has nothing to do with how other people see it. Them's the breaks, bud.

One day my balls will be perfect

I don't really draw digitally, but I do draw traditionally a lot :P pretty much just proud of the expression

>>7618746
>how other people see it.
I know, I'm super critical of my art but to everyone else I'm a fucking legend. One, if not the, greatest artists to ever live.

>>7618766
>One, if not the, greatest artists

You wanna run that one again, chief?

Learning to draw faces from reference

>>7612402
not my taste but it's great

>>7617897
I saw a 5th grade child at my son's primary school dressed like this and felt sick to my stomach

>>7618744
>What are you unhappy about?
The drawing took me so much time that I got tired so I didn't fix the guy's extremely short legs.

>>7618779
>artist/s
hur dur
I'm sure you faggots just completely ignore the THOUSANDS of music videos, photoshoots, fashion and movies that copied my art specifically.

>>7612297 (OP)
Ok

There was a DTIYS thread with this image today but it got deleted before I even finished.

>>7619116
Do you think that's the only error in that sentence?

>>7619711
Something about this color palette feels really cozy. Oddly familiar, in a way.

clothes....dresses and my OC chararcter

How is it?

I need to hit Rod with a fucking brick

>>7619955
I likw how shapey the pants are.

Here's something I drew recently

>>7619426
There really wasn't anything wrong with that sentence at all you esl retard, you're just a faggot.

>>7619713
I used a 90's cartoon color pallete as refference it must be that

>>7617744
Thank you! Good to know my work is finally starting to pay off.

>>7612297 (OP)
Having fun with 3D.

>>7619798
una vela..

>>7612297 (OP)
just some fucking around, main practice was facial proportions and experimenting with style and a little rendering. made her as an oc to draw if I don't know who I want to draw.

>>7626288
I like those details around that neck, especially that red textured stripe with the stars. It's a nice, specific design element. Maybe it could be nice if you put more specific decorations on her, like in her hair or something.

>>7626288
Good eyes!

>>7626344
That would be a nice touch, her clothes are heavily inspired by Norwegian folk dress but with a little modern twist specifically her waistcoat and a little with her undershirt. a lot of the designs featured on them are really pretty, Im most fond of the patterns from Telemark, Norway. The patterns I chose were from Øst Telemark specifically. I really like traditional ethnic European garments in general but I have a fondness for Nordic garments, Norwegian in particular. I'm just a sucker for rosemaling embroidery though >picrel is an example, I used the bottom right for her collar. I think a lot of ethnic design elements in clothing are unfortunately ignored in a lot of art spaces in particular fantasy, and I think that's a shame because there's potential for a lot of originality there I my opinion. but I might be ignorant on the subject. I was originally thinking of adding a babushka shawl but wasn't sure if it would clutter things up too much with her neckerchief, but maybe something like a bow or a barrette would be a good idea.
>>7626353
Thanks! I took inspiration from some fan art of Anya forger from spy x family. felt the way the iris and pupils were done would suit the rounded eye style better.

I was gonna make it Friday the 13th related, like a postcard or something, but I think I'll just leave it.

im locking in nigga

More skulls

>>7626868
ur like high midbeg, focusing too much on anatomy and rendering when you dont really know form. study form and you can probably rocket up to highbeg pretty quickly

>>7626868
forgot to say, the premise/colors/styles are appealing. you can see the emotions on her face. just work on your fundies

>>7626915

High beg tops.
Your anatomy is very lacking, your understanding of perspective/foreshortening is very lacking, your understand of lighting and shadows is very lacking, your color theory is very lacking.
tl;dr Understanding of fundamentals not found.

>>7626741
You realize only middle schoolers and high school kids think art, especially of subjects (nouns and the like) like people, places, or things all use reference. No one "draws from imagination." and when they do they are just remembering a fucking photo you dumb mother fucker holy shit.

>>7627337
I'm a professional artist, and 90% of the time I don't use any references whatsoever.
I don't draw realism though, which obviously plays a crucial role in this discussion.
Just wanted to point out that you made a false statement.

The problem I personally see with the art mentioned, is that the artist adds almost no author's note to his drawings. No clever stylization, no gesture, no artistic experimentation in the values or colors, no imagination. It's well executed, but simply boring to look at.

>>7627337
Some serious cope. No one cares that you trace, fag. It's the whole pretending to draw thing that bothers anyone.

>>7627337
A personal visual library isn't called references library for a reason. If we could consider our memory to be references, then we would call it personal references library.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Stop outing yourself for the beglet you are.

>>7627337
Are you literally incapable of just drawing something on paper off the bat without having a reference at hand?

>>7612297 (OP)
Didn't draw too much today just from head because i had to work.

>>7627711
Nah, this moron is trying to imply that whatever you draw from imagination is somehow referenced, because you have to see it first in order to even remember it.
Complete utter brainlet take.

Stop arguing with Jace, he's just baiting for attention.

>>7627730
No, I'm baying for blood.
Also, when I'm Tat you're going to feel like a bunch of faggots.

There's no point posting here when you're mid artist, I don't get any (You)

>>7628012
because this is a fake board. It exists just for me and all I get is harassment.

>>7627275
Thanks anon! Yeah, drew the soldier guy too. Slapping stuff together is a lot of fun.
Mostly it was just looking at Norway's MJK coat of arms and thinking "that looks sick as fuuuck" I should make a picture of that.

You rely too much on textured brushes. Try it next time with only hard round and manual opacity controls with number keys. Easy mode is a soft round if you want.

Watch marco bucci on youtube.

>>7627337
drawing from imagination means you take all the hours you drew anatomy and other shit from reference and make something new from that

Have you never fucking drawn a tree or something from scratch? You can go oh I'll give it a bunch of roots I'll vary the thickness of the stem give it spiky leaves or some shit
at the end you have a tree that you've never seen before but its made up of tree parts you have seen or studied before

might aswell drop this here too. a little mix of study, redraw, and experimentation with tomoko. tomoko a cute!

>>7638239
Nigga that stinky neet hardly ever looks cute so the fact that you managed to make her look like that is nice. Good color choices too. Good job anon

>>7638250
glad you like it anon! a lot of my choices come from my experience of drawing talking cartoon pastel horses, and throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks then adjusting from there.

trying out lineless stuff

>>7638425
I'd say go soft when indicating the palms on the hands, the shadow parts are so harsh they themselves look like lines, makes em look more wrinkly and old lookin cause of it. Same with the collar bone but to a lesser extent. Also personally given this style you have going on I think you should just draw her right eye even though it's covered in hair like how anime and cartoons do it, it fits with the style you have here.
Overall very good though, very clean and expressive

I gotta stop relying on photoshop's filter tools.

imagine drawing

you have to have something wrong with you mentally to draw

also is the torso too short/fucked?

>>7644015
The torso is fine. Their right hand arm is all kinds of fucked compositionally and anatomically.

>>7644028
>right arm
Is it the one touching the floor or the one that's up. Also is the foreshortening the problem and how does it affect composition.

How is it so far.

>>7634716
Look at your posted image as a thumbnail. See how the nearer sunglasses lens is a large black blob that dominates the center of the photo?

With the possible exception of the ear, the vertical positions of your elements are reasonable. The horizontal positions much less so. It's as if you're positioning your paper to the right or left of the photo for comparison as you work. Try positioning below or above, too, once in a while to check positions of your elements, especially early on.

>>7646445

Another one, not too happy with the face, it was a bit difficult to make it look good without lines so I gave in and drew a few of them

Looks fine nigguh

the pose i had more fun with from a live drawing session. 5 minutes

guess i'll post the bottom one too for something i had more trouble with. I find it very hard to sketch faces under a time limit so i leave it for last and end up not drawing it most of the time. Should be more brave next time

How do you go about your colors? Do you have a premade palette before you start? Do you put any limitations on yourself to make sure you don't go overboard? Any rules you follow when using color?

>>7647403
>>7648868
Very lovely.

>>7648986
You should watch morco bucci's videos on color theory, everything I know about color is from watching his videos and practicing.
How to not go overboard -- have a hierarchy setup for colors , push one color to max saturation (your focal point) like I have the fish , other colors should not complete with that so decrease there saturation.

>>7648989

about half done with this. the contrast isnt really there yet but im decently happy with how its turning out

Feedback appreciated.

Mindless sketching.

>>7649638
Not a complaint but it appears based on how you drew the lines in the cartoony version her hair is supposed to be more wavy but on the more realistic one it isnt.
The drawing itself is fine, no complaints, but wanted to know what your intentions were

>Marco Bucci

I have. I wanted to know what your process is like was hoping you found little tidbits that worked for you. I'm always interested in trying out those little things.

>>7650246
Process
1 look at the reference for 5min.figure out the major shapes , light direction, light temperature.
2 think what you want to enhance what you want to leave out , where you will put the most effort, what parts will be most saturated and contrasting, where you want the viewers to look
3 block in major shapes, average value, average color
4 then remember your goals set up in step 2 and keep painting, have fun , I feel like color should not be restrictive it should be fun to paint it.

>>7652270
not sure what you mean bro, but yeah there's definitely a standard when it comes to manga paneling

>>7652303
I mean the subject of the monologue, like it's incredibly common for characters in manga/anime to ponder their outcast nature or muse about how they're different from the inhabitants of society. I don't dislike it, but I didn't realize how often I read things like it until witnessing it in an unrelated 4chan thread
