tentative low int, but you've not really shown much other than figure sketches.

>>7651995
the technical drawing is low to high beg, but is saved by rendering. You need to focus on your solid drawing skills. In particular, the hips and legs are not attached to the body, and the proportions overall are weird. Especially the hand size and face is really small. I do love the effort ngl. You are going to make it.

>>7651982
My instinct is low int. I'm not keen on your rendering on the top right. There is not much variety in subject matter, as it's mostly girl in the void drawings.

>>7651971
I'd place you high beg personally. I absolutely love your clown girl on 11/7/2025, and the face on 16/7. I think you failed on the face angle on 8/7, but you put in a lot of effort so i think you will make it too

You're getting there but your proportions need a lot of work. For example, you're making hands massive. The arms on the bottom image are weirdly exaggerated. I'd also agree with the other anon to work on form. The leg on the right image that the cloth wraps around isnt done well.

high /beg/. the airbrushing feels a bit tacked on due to the lack of hard edged shadows
>>7652955
high /beg/. feels ambitious but there are a few errors in the perspective that makes it feel flatβ€”bed legs, sandman's belt, etc
could also use some wrinkles on his clothes on the lifted arm
>>7653148
high /beg/. the shadows lack contrast I think, they're too light compared to the background. it's also lacking cast shadows (from the tits and thigh plates mostly), you only painted the form shadows. face could be more mecha-like as well

low /int/ - Not really enough to go on, I'd be inclinded to say mid or high /int/ if your colours and backgrounds are on the same level as this

>>7653756
Mid /int/ - Some parts of this piece are amazing while others are quite bad, it's clear that painting is your main focus but imo there's not enough depth and contrast in certain points and I'd love to see a bigger hue shift in the shadows just to bump that contrast up further. I also think your facial anatomy is lacking especially where the jaw lines up to the ears on the two figures facing the viewer. I really enjoy how you've done the background.

>>7654364
High /beg/ - Another one where I'm not sure if there's enough to give a correct score. The shadows are amazing on this but certain points make it clear you're not as confident in other aspects, your lineart is quite shaky at some points, in the knot of bandana and in the longer curves of the tentacles. The perspective on the eyes is also quite off and they dont match at all. The guns also feel quite rudementary when compared to the rest of the piece but overall this is very appealing its just a matter of having more line confidence and to better study your references.

To improve the lineart just start by drawing loads of straight lines then curved lines, circles and squares, its not the most fun practice but it'll help loads. Its a matter of building up stabilisating and muscle memory. It may also help to study technical drawings and start copying them, arcitectural and furniture construction drawings things like tables and building with lots of clear lines.

You can also look up tattoo line tutorials, since the whole art form is rooted in lines there is a lot of resources that focus on improving line quality that can be adapted to traditional art.

also, by your own logic, every qualifier which was founded on a person's internal state would be "senseless" because you can't "prove" that they're being genuine. like someone saying they are a different anon, someone - online or even irl - saying something like "I don't mean to be rude" is "senseless" because whether or not you believe them is ultimately an assumption, regardless of how confident you are given the evidence. obviously these things are heuristics, but that doesn't mean they can't have general efficacy.

Of course they look like characters, but their composition says "There's this character I want to draw, here it is" rather than "this is what I think about the character". It's great that you're good enough to develop a cogent style, but you need to develop it. What you have right now is boring

High /beg/ - you're rendering process is very nice, its appealing for sure but you seem to ignore it once it comes to the face. Because of this the pieces in the top row work much better because the viewer has a clearer idea of the facial plains. I think the other main issue is how you approach necks, you're mostly drawing muscly women but their necks are too small to work with the style you're doing. You also need to work on the perspective around the collar bone to the shoulder facing away from the camera (i wish I could give clearer critique here but thats something I also struggle with I can just see that youre making similar mistakes to me). The top left and middle pieces are definitely the most advanced and on there own id be inclined to give an /int/ rating instead. You can polish but some of your fundamentals just aren't there yet making your work look unbalanced. Try and compare the top left and middle to the bottom middle and right and maybe you'll get a clearer idea of what's working and what's not within your process.

>>7656878
again i dont know how to rate furry shit but for the humans i agree with the other posters for the most part, you draw appealing faces with acceptable anatomy (besides the necks), but its just not very interesting. try backgroundmaxxing and make characters actually do something instead of whitevoiding.
>>7657110
it has appeal, its hard to make out whats going on in the more colorful stuff though. i would like to see your power with a tablet, are you going to get one? for now i'd say midbeg because you have an idea of anatomy, colors, and a little perspective, but its hard to rate it any higher

i'd rate myself mid/high beg, still lots of shit to work on, but curious to see if you guys disagree with me or not

My suggestion for people that have trouble drawing from imagination (I feel that's the case for you, but it's hard to tell by looking just at a few drawings) is to focus on perspective and gesture studies.
By internalizing perspective it becomes intuitive to construct figures and other objects in your head in any position you want (of course you also need to have a good grasp on anatomical proportions for that), while doing gesture/croquis studies will improve your line confidence.
You are already very good at drawing from observation, you should use that at your advantage when doing gesture studies.
You're on the right path, I think you just need to improve your confidence. This comes with mileage.

I don't have perfect advice as I'm probably a lower level than you are. I think you have good skill and potential.

Maybe try to get out of your comfort zone and use perspective next. Try using blender or pose apps for help. Good old fashioned perspective grids will do nice too. There was some old program by the name of Carapace v1.0 that I found from Incase. But if you use procreate that's good too.

other than that I guess just keep going. Your art is clear (for the most part, the tyler is hard to see from a distance. try squinting or zooming out on your own art and see if it still reads.)

Oh and don't get bogged down by brushes. Try to swap brushes around and get used to working with your tools rather than overworking and trying to make your brush work for you.

maybe int, maybe high beg. Lots of rendering, hard to see whether you really get form, leaning toward no

Interesting since that is something I've been bothered by with my art, the way I convey form. You got any tips or resources for form? Always looking to improve my sense of 3D.

Stop using light/shade/value and only draw with line. Pay attention to how line can be used to indicate forms 'wedging, locking, and passing'. Bridgeman and taco and zefdraws are all good for this.

Line without shadow/value makes it real hard to hide poor understanding of form, so that's how you force yourself to do it right. It's actually what I'm working on, you can see places in my drawing where the lines create solidity (her right ankle area and left knee/thigh/glute) and where I failed to create form and just did shape (her right arm, right thigh/knee/shin).

Hope this helps

This one is a little harder for me. Your rendering kinda sucks, but everything else looks great. If it was just line art I could probably rate it more accurately. I'm taking a shot in the dark here and guessing you stepped out of your comfort zone.

what is it that makes getting gud so hard to achieve? There is really nothing else I did in my life where working hard just didn't cut it. Normally, when I give everything in the very least, I become ahead of others. In this case, it genuinely makes almost no difference; it still will take at the very least around 3-4 years till I will be decent

Yeah for shading the clothes especially.
>Your rendering kinda sucks
Any tips for how to improve at it? I'm kind of lost on that front.

I honestly believe that for some people they are far better off finding a tutor or someone to handhold them through some disciplines. I am one such person, ok at doing things that have clear instructions with an end goal that is easily conceptualized but total dogshit at self learning and will flounder for ages trying different things that don't work until maybe I hit on some trigger by accident that bumps me forward a tiny bit.

Appreciate the tips anon, took up some bridgeman as starter and I can safely say that it does help a ton with seeing where I lack in my sense of form. Also great example using your own work, really illustrates the differences between solidity and shape drawing. Going to use bridgeman for a while and look up more sources for form.

nta but tilt her head to one side a bit to add life into the piece, get some hard edges in there to pull focus to a specific area, add in some accessories like hair clips/jewelry/tech bits. Dead on portraits of anime girls are as generic as it gets (not necessarily a bad thing). on your next piece think about contrasting shapes or elements you can add to mix it up, "generic" is often a result of overused subject matter.

hi chat

I'm new (been drawing for ~6 months), maybe around 2h per week. I am almost done with my first art book (keys to drawing) from the /ic/ sticky.

How did I do? Have my figure drawings reached low /beg/ yet?
