The OP's just keep on getting worse

>>7668013 (OP)
Explain the Russian binocular guy meme

>>7668017
Reference to the permabeg Ivan schizo in these threads

it was better when deer made the ops

>>7668017
You watch something, you understand that it's crap, but you still continue to watch because there is something attractive/interesting

>>7668013 (OP)
I miss when OP included all the art that people were working on the thread. Felt nice when your stuff was on it

>>7668028
I'm too jealous of talented anons to post them, my drawings weren't posted in the op post

Drawing of some sort

>>7668032
aiza improvement??

>>7668032
Draw aiza of some sort next?

>>7668033
Needs to get more line confidence. Aiza still chicken scratches quite a lot

>tell a guy he has nice line art but bad rendering
>aaaaaa don't critique me I got way better than you while living in my own bubble
how to get out of this mentality

>>7668041
If he's drawing roblox stuff, he's most likely a kid. Why are you interacting with children, anon? you know they're annoying

>>7668043
the server has people calling themselves sluts I just thought there would be a little bit more adults
I am just here for the money since roblox players have lower standards for art so I can get some commissions here and there for fun

>>7668046
Makes sense. Also, people calling themselves sluts around kids? lmao

Are they paying you in robux or actual cash? When I played roblox, a year or so ago, I wanted to make my avatar have nice clothes and accesories, so I went to this drawing game and did comissions there for 100+ robux a piece.

>>7668051
I am looking for real money and if they pay in robox I just tell them to pay it to my little sisters account

>>7668034
Maybe

>>7668039
Hehe yeah it happens :3

>Dude just train your eyes
>Dude just trace
>DorianIte.jpeg
So it is just tracing all the way down? Seeing the Great Nihu still having to trace in his timelapses makes me question my own life.

>>7668032
>Mogging permabegschizo this hard.
Based AizaCHAD

I was only born /beg/. I identify as /pro/.

>>7668043
todays Roblox community is unfortunately super gooner coded which gets these kids into pornography very early and so shit like referring to themselves as sluts happen

>>7668057
based. I should do the same so my sis can stop begging for Robux on Donate Me

>>7668073
>>7668057
tfw when I will never experience having a younger sibling that plays video games with me

>>7668051
>>7668073
I don't like where this conversation is going. Leave them kids alone

>>7668076
lol she hates my guts but still begs me for robox

>>7668078
Anon, not everyone thinks about incest when talking about their siblings

>>7668079
that's cute. Teach her to play better games though, might as well groom your sister into becoming a female streamer, the good kind (vtuber)

>>7668064
What's been working for me is to make measurements of the proportions on a figure and use these in construction, then work out the rest by eye.

>>7668080
I meant hanging around in discord server with people calling themselves sluts around kids.

I also got little sister who I play video games with sometimes

Thoughts?

>>7668092
As I said before, it's gross but the drawing is nice. Are you going to make the lamp on the left light up the scene? also, I think you should change the "heh" to "Heheheh..." as it makes it easier to tell it's the merchant that way, alongside painting in his gloves since the merchant uses gloves.

>>7668092
Pretty homosexual

>>7668092
this would be fine if you just drew normal gay porn instead of whatever the fuck this is

what learning perspective feels like

Feels like his hips look weird, any thoughts?

>>7668092
What the fuck is this absurd fetish? I'd rather see Paige's microclit.

>>7668097
It’s funny how normalized the most absurd and painful things to happen to women in hentai is normalized but as soon as it applies to pain to men being sexualized it is met with disgust. Funny how that works

>>7668093
Balls in the ass. :)

>>7668117
what causes people to be into shit like this

>>7668119
What causes people to be into cervix penetration?

>>7668028
man same

>>7667960
yeah i have a really hard time with 3d,
i notice it with poses where you cant see the full body

i gave it a try what you advised , now that i know thats what my main issue is i can find ways to learn that so thanks,

>>7668114
i cant believe people are losing their shit about balls in someones anus but not when i draw a monkey sobbing while jerkin it

>>7668112
Rule 34, my man.
Don’t put down paige like that..

>>7668094
Thank you! I’ll take your advice to heart. I’m not used to adding dialogue to my work.

Good catch on the lamp actually, i was treating it as a prop but maybe i should see what it looks like when i make it influence the lighting in the scene.

I’ll give the gloves a darker value and a fabric texture.

>>7668128
If I can suggest a bigger change to the dialogue, make it like, "Heheheh... Thank you, stranger. I knew I could count on you."

>>7668131
Are those unkicked cairn stones that I see? That won't do.

>>7668114
you can draw men getting vivisected or having their cocks eaten by bugs however much you want, males will probably it find less disgusting than homo shit. i'm not sure why all the homo artists hang out here though since most don't even look /beg/ and there are more appropriate threads.

>>7668114
can you make one of them an elf next and the other one fat

>>7668120
Evolution, probably.

>>7668135
beg is an anything goes crapshoot and it may as well just be porn booru at this point because 70% of it is people arguing about talent and crabbing at the minimum, we don't want to derail other threads with our garbage

>>7668064
>practice copying
>practice redrawing what you copy from memory
>builds your visual library, allowing you to "draw from imagination" much better
There's a reason "copy bridgman twice" is a thing
But you won't do any of it anyways so it doesn't matter

>>7668135
I post my stuff to those threads and get called a pedophile, permanent, prebeg, black pilled and all they do is argue about sex with children, it’s mentally draining.

Seeing people here call my art disgusting makes me smile. So it’s worth it here <3

the reason why i post my disgust art in /beg/, at least, beyond enjoying a couple of people here is because I know that my disgust porn would derail other threads. /beg/ is permanently a shithole, and permanently derailed, and therefore "anything goes" is easier to feel guiltless for

>>7668136
No.

>>7668137
Cervix penetration is impossible, and also pap smears are very uncomfortable and sometimes painful.

Yet it still gets portrayed in 50% of xray hentai.

SCA ji reposts any drawings related to his work... But I will never be able to create something worthwhile that he or I will like...

>>7668092
New fetish unlocked
God I love this place

>>7668138
between "containment zone" and "jannies don't give a shit", knowing what i know now, it's probably just the second one.

>>7668157
they mod other threads. /beg/ is a shithole. there's no point moderating it, you'd have to ban 80% of the active posters to make it usable or productive. people can blame individuals who draw and post gayshit, but the truth is the talent schizos are a thousand times worse than they ever were. it's just easier to scapegoat people that make content that disturbs you rather than making that the fundamental problem is that the majority of this thread is no draw spamming. also, a lot of people here are humorously weak and can't visually tune out things they don't like which creates funny reactions that makes people post more gayshit. look at the response to the ball picture.
the majority of people here are newfags who are used to extremely catered social media and the humor that people get out of shocking them won't stop. no one here can conform or adjust to board culture anymore, it's just a bunch of retarded zoomers who freak out whenever they see fagshit because they're too used to censored algorithms

board culture is dead. none of you would survive the days of being jumpscared. you can barely deal with a gif of black men having gay sex being spammed. you're all weak, and you're all tourists

>>7668092
Very much not my thing but well-drawn. The skin stretch on the balls makes me feel viscerally disgusted (good job), but you could make it worse by making them hairier. Also the bottom's dick and balls look off center compared to his asshole, they're too far to the left.

You are cruel

>>7668161
What keeps a man like this going for 12 years?

>>7668141
>Anon is lost and asks for help
>Acts like a nigger about it
Do you really have to be a cunt about it? Cant the downtrodden get any fucking pity and kindness here?

>>7668147
Cope however you want, the fact remains (and will always remain) that it is an exaggeration of procreation. Balls in ass is not. You can keep coping how you do, it's none of my business, but these ARE indisputable facts. Not opinions.

>>7668166
Oh i’m not upset over cervix penetration in porn. I’m only pointing out a comparison. You are very emotionally reactive. I love that you’re disgusted.

>>7668168
kino. go off king

Accidentally stayed up until 4 AM on this.

>>7668161
>>7668164
You cant convince me hes posting this near daily for 12 years while not being able to at least draw a face
This is just some elaborate insane trolling, hes 4d chessing the world for he knows something we do not

>>7668172
he just only draws for like 30 minutes a day and takes regular breaks over the course of 4 years

>>7668172
This guy >>7668170 started drawing two months ago during the blackout and already mogs most here and is like 200 times better than permabegschizo. Talent is REAL.
>>7668174
I would post some of his barely passable artwork but he deleted all of it. Maybe in Pixiv.
Is there any drawing of his?

>>7668158
i don't really mind the homoposters if they don't actually put in effort to shit up the thread. you're right that the schizos are the ones who need culling. i just wish the website actually worked as intended.

to be fair the rest of /ic/ does work well enough, but /beg/ is valuable at times. having it be as slow as the other generals would only do it good.

>>7668174
I see plenty of very talented artists take long breaks and come back stronger.
Krekkov will draw once a month through depression, FOTM game nonstop gaming and expensive vacations.
If you are talented you can do anything you want and still be great.

>>7668176
the problem is people are going to keep shitting up the thread as long as the talent schizos are there because there's no point trying to maintain thread quality if 70% of the thread is people arguing about talent. it's pointless. this is a shitpost general, and it won't be anything else unless the mods start giving a fuck and crack down on talent posting.

>>7668161
>Is bullied until he leaves the threads.
>Lets screencap and post him here.

>>7668172
He draws bodies and anatomy well, his only problem is faces and heads.

>>7668182
He's still here though

unless mods crack down on talent spam, this thread is a dumpster fire. post balls in ass, it belongs here. this may as well be the talent schizophrenia and balls in ass thread. balls in ass talent schizophrenia general

>>7668174
>>7668172
Being permabeg for a decade while seeing other anons like the lizardfag, deerfag, favelachad and chatgptbruh mog him into the ground will mindbreak a man.
Raped through the internet.
Just look at shit like this >>7668170
made by a guy who started drawing like 3 months ago being better than anything he had done.
BRVTAL DEATHMOG.

>>7668183
Phw (post his work). I cant recall a single drawing of his other than the shitty head attempts that get reposted as a gotcha.

starting to work on the shading

>>7668187
this is why this thread is a crapshoot. if i had the energy for it i would draw a man getting his asshole gangraped into a permagape and it would be more artistically productive than this conversation

Depression general

>>7668191
Talented rat.

>>7668170
How many more times will this post get schizo (You)s I wonder.

>>7668170
Very cute work anon. How much do these take you and do you have a drawing process?

>>7668200
bruh im not talented at all
ive been trying to learn art instead of doodling with zero comprehension of what I was doing since may 2024 and im so adhd ive progressed at the rate of a snail (with that month break because of Tendonitis)

>>7668190
This person starting drawing 1 month ago btw

>>7668202
The permabeg yearns for what he cant be. A tranny of the mind

>>7668208

>>7668210
oh boohoo a shitty trad copy. here i have shitty lazy trad copies too. here you go

>>7668170
Cute, nice form on the ears. Her left eye and eyebrow are kinda wonky compared to her right ones. 'pologies for the rough redline.

drawing

>>7668216
Don't be proud secretly, I feel shitty and don't want to draw

>>7668202
It's a bit annoying that anything that would be useful is left aside for the schizo drama.
>>7668203
This took probably 2-3 hours from nothing to these colors, I don't really have a process beyond a rough sketch then drawing it again with the final lines.
>>7668217
I had been trying to fix that yesterday I think, but I decided to go to sleep since I was seeing double at that point from lack of sleep (Whole week with bad sleep), thanks.

>>7668220
i don't feel proud of any of my copies. they suck. but I don't make sucking my entire personality because it's unproductive and self destructive.

>>7668216
Lazy compliment bait.

>>7668219

>>7668228
Sure, but the face is good.

>>7668233
>>7668230
idk
maybe i should use 2d refs more, it seems to come out "better"
i have this conviction that if I reference something 2d, I'm using shortcuts or stealing from other artists, so the only people I feel comfortable copying are people i had permission from, or in that case a hentai artist. so I only copy people i personally know.
>>7668230
i suck

hmmm

>>7668238
That's a mindset that will only hinder your own progress. You do realize that every single artist has taken inspiration from something for their style

>>7668242
i legitimately only draw from imagination, reference packs or statues, that's it. that's how neurotic I am, the only copies I've done are that, a few quick Pinterest study attempts, and studies of russiafag drawings because of how neurotic I am about fear of stealing when I study.
are my copies really not that bad?
I attempted to paint study something russiafag drew a while ago. catbox won't let me upload or anything so I guess I'm stuck reposting.

>>7668216
is that you Deerbro
the hand isnt bad its actually pretty good considering you used so few lines and probably did it in a couple seconds. just spend like a minute or two longer on it and it will end up looking what you consider to be good

>>7668259
yes
maybe I should copy more 2d to help learn hands
thank you
i miss Russia copying his redraws of things I drew was so fun too
i wonder if grinding 2d is the key to gaining more cohesiveness

She just likes to show off, like all the other talented..

>>7668147
from someone who got an internal mirena spiral installed its very very painfull

>>7668144
>>7668207
>A tranny of the mind
im stealing this
>>7668261
this looks rlly cool

>>7668238
thats a thing you should really set aside,
with chinese drawings its even recommended bc it might be a copy but it still has your personal brush stroke

>>7668262
it doesnt really matter if you copy 2D or 3D I think
but 2D is easier since its already simplified
you clearly understand form and shape well so just do what you have always been doing
dont let the crabs pinch you

>>7668262
NTA, but I miss russianbro (file.png) making redraws of my drawings. it always made me happy to get one

>>7668079
jut got ghoseted by roblox guy who asked for pixel art
he said to draw a sword and show it to him I showed him this and obviously its not perfect but is it this bad that I get instantly ghosted? I will show the ref he posted when post cooldown is over

>>7668277
no its good Roblox players are just faggots
happened to me before too

>>7668276
same i miss him so much
the trad study i did oc this one was much better but I can't find it
a study i did of his redraw but in my face style

>>7668254
you are doing great, my permabeg vision tells me that your skill is worth 2000 permabeg practice hours or even more

>>7668280
this is what they apparently wanted

>>7668283
I hope he comes back someday

>>7668285
i mean I've been drawing for a long time and when people used to ask I would literally count all the way back to when I drew as a teenager not realizing that people mean. when did you start studying. and the answer to studying is. much more recent. people say I am permabeg all of the time though, they call me nupawell

>>7668261
Love the stylization of his legs and the pink bounce light. I'd extend his torso to put more of his shoulders into the background box, think it'd improve the composition.
>>7668254
It's worth copying 2d just because it forces you to try and understand another artist's decision-making process and how they use their tools. Being forced out of your own workflow is beneficial in the same way that drawing something you've never drawn before is.

>>7668286
>>7668277
Don't take commissions from people who you think might be kids. 9 times out of 10 kids won't have money and just try to get free artwork. So you get ghosted and waste your time.

>>7668286
did he specify how large it should be? because if he wants to add a sword into that scene then your obviously wont fit in. needs to be extremely simplified with only few pixels to fit there

Your Sword itself is very good though

>>7668292
I thought it was a girl because he had a girls eye as his profile picture but no apparently its a guy who is totally not hiding his norwood 7
>>7668293
its weapons for a dungeon game

>>7668294
KWAB. I think he has to save his money for the trip to turkey for hair transplant and that's why he has to ghost people to and try to get free artwork then

>>7668294
no actual Girl that plays Roblox would be developing games especially pixel dungeon type shit

>>7668294
I am being a bit too mean honestly
I would absolutely fine with him just saying I am not fit for the job or some shit I even said that myself and asked for feedback if that was the case but still got ghosted sad
>>7668295
this was two years ago
all his recent videos are with hats
honestly grim he looks young

>>7668298
forgot pic

>>7668298
I don't even need the money I have a job its just an ego thing

>>7668283
''how do i lay on my stomach now?''
ahahah you dont, loser

>>7668271
he looks cool
do you think he is...

horny?
>but 2D is easier since its already simplified
true

I finished the shading on her, but now that I look at it, the bg is very boring. I think i'll add more stuff onto it

>>7668307
maybe just add a dark blue gradient coming from the top. would contrast nicely with her torso being the lightest part. on that note you could move the grass higher and add some lighting to it to contrast with the black pants.

>>7668111
they are. i think the butt should be rounder and from that angle the hips probably shouldnt be at the same height

polished a bit more anyway since I liked it

>>7668312
I messed up the highlights around the eye but whatever

>>7668303
he has horns yes

warm up

>>7668165
>anon lacks self awareness
I realize that I fell for some more retarded howie drama so this will be my last reply on this matter. I absolutely can, and should, be nicer if only because I dont like others being rude to me when im asking for advice. But I dont complain like a bitchy faggot when someone tries to help me and then put on a "woe is me" act when they predictably treat me like a bitchy faggot.
>>Dude just train your eyes
Practicing drawing what you see accurately, alongside drawing from memory/"imagination", is a key part of any effective training. Just look at chatgpt anon's bootcamp and his insane progress in only a few weeks. Any art program worth doing will have eye and memory training because it works, even they don't explicitly label it as such.
>>Dude just trace
Breaking something down to better understand how to draw it yourself can be a useful tool.
>>DorianIte.jpeg
You're just bitching at this point. Pick up a pencil and draw or fuck off.

I'm increasingly convinced that permabegs stay permabegs because they lack the same things needed to improve at anything. Give them a guitar and they'll either give up after a week of not practicing chords, or they'll keep noodling away at the same shitty pop songs for 10 years and never improve. Give them a textbook and they'll either fail all their classes after not studying, or they'll barely scrape by and get stuck at a shitty code monkey job for 10 years. And they'll bitch and complain about it the entire time and try to drag others down to their level.

Do these eyes look anime to you?

>>7668331
If you have to ask...

>>7668333
Sigh. I'm trying to go for a more cartoony look but I still want some level of detail.

Using a single canvas to test things.

>>7668339
examples of what you are going after?

>>7668339
Not anime but they wouldn't be out of place in a western cartoon.

Decided to go back to doing Studies for a bit, and started off with hands. Sadly had a migraine after doing the first hand, so had to recover for a week before I could do the remaining three I took screencaps of.

There are loads of errors, which I assure you I did notice, but I can't be perfectionist over everything. I did attempt some shading, I think in the second one it looks okayish, but the third looks pretty bad.

>>7668331
irises are too small, lower lashes usually aren't that thick

Alphonse Mucha study

>>7668361
getting better with every piece, the faces are starting to look nice compared to before, i really like this one. nice lines. keep going, you'll become even more powerful

>>7668328
pyw. Obviously someone who knows the secret sauce for improvement must be good.
>chatgptfag
The guy is just insanely talented. He spent like 2 days doing the same thing as funschizo (dynamic sketching drills) ans came out of it with better draftsmanship than most here.

continue my story, i want to wrap it up, they like each other but dont know, yada yada
lets hear your continuation /beg/

>>7668122
It’s alright looking but it could be a lot better. First off the likeness is almost nonexistent. Yours has a fluffier head, and does not look like a baby.

Don’t draw what you think you see or want to see. Try to get your proportions correct. That’s the important part.

Trace the baby macaque and overlay that on top of your non-traced art. See how different it is. Draw without tracing, overlay, try again. do that until you get closer. Then come back here.

>>7668328
all talentfag complaining is irrelevant crabbing. by their own words they should just try literally every hobby on earth to see if they immediately have the brain circuits for it, instead of posting here and wasting their time further. but of course they're intentional trolls and should be ignored.

>>7668328
Not howeing or anything but do you think that some anons are just more aware of their canvas and their pencils? You see it with people who can copy very well right from the start and some others who struggle with it even after countless bargue plates and stuff.
Is this why asians have an easier time getting started drawing? Because their language involves drawing precise strokes in many positions over and over?
Just like how kids can learn languages and music stupidly fast at an early age but adults struggle a lot.

>>7668349
Decent.

>>7668392
It could be something like that. Probably why chinese artists, even the ones who aren’t particularly amazing, still made art look better than english speaking begs

>>7668393
I'll take it lol. I have more polished pieces but idk if posting here is a wise choice.

My hypothesis is that permabeg and howie are mostly mental health issues.
When I finally accepted that i am not a normal healthy person, I became significantly less bitter about fast progress of other people because healthy person would naturally have an advantage and I should be happy that I have enough ability to produce at least something. It's not talent of other people, it's just me being less than a human.

>>7668389
I am not trolling I just get very upset and throw a tantrum.

>>7668403
>Talented
>Mentored by AI that knows everything and is available 24/7 and redraws his work
>Is NEET so he gets to be fresh every day and draw all he wants
Kinda unfair to compare ngl. Expect him to be an artstation god in months.

kids dont actually learn languages faster, they just tend to have a dedicated teacher (parent) that will spend the next several years teaching them and correcting any mistakes

>>7668409
the screentones are jarring, why even use them if youre not drawing in monochrome

>>7668013 (OP)

>>7668412
and even if they do seem to learn faster its most likely because they dont have any preconceived notions about how something works that would trip them up like so

>my language works like this, therefore all languages work like this
>what do you mean they dont? im going to piss my pants and whine online for 2 months without doing any work

Gn beg

trying to use my shitty doodles as quick rendering from imagination tests more often

allright, it will take a while , but thanks :3

or?

research on it is inconclusive, but science is still catching up from the 20th century when we thought adult brains weren't plastic at all. now we know that they are, obviously, since learning never stops, we just don't know conclusively if children are that much more plastic, or perhaps radically, if there's even a qualitative difference and other factors aren't at play.

>>7668388
shit i replied to myself kek

how to make some nice glowing effects?

Overlaid spray layers don't look nice when I do them

>>7668432
What program? What brush are you using?

>>7668013 (OP)
Today’s life drawings

>>7668373
>pyw
Okay. I'll admit that I'm not good, and that this isn't my first time trying to get good at drawing. But I'm better than I was when I started, and that's what matters. Right is my first drawing when I started trying seriously this time, middle I had to use reference to figure out how to draw her armpit/shoulder area (I still screwed it up), right is no reference. Most of what I say is just restating what people who are far better than me have said, and what I'm trying to apply to myself. Call me dunning-kruger if you want, I can take it.

>>7668434
I am using Krita. The tool I am using is "Airbrush Soft"
I'm attempting to give some glow to the eyes of a jack o lantern.

>>7668435

>>7668432
What app are you using? On csp, I do it like this:

I first paint the area I want to glow, then I copy the layer and make it a glow dodge, then I go an apply blur to the glow dodged layer.

>>7668392
Yes to some people being more aware of their canvas and pencils, not really to Asian writing systems being a benefit to drawing.
>their language involves drawing precise strokes in many positions over and over
That's what all writing is brother.
If there is a benefit gained from Asian writing systems it's more likely related to the culture- calligraphy seems to more respected as a serious art form in certain Asian countries than in the west. I'd guess there's more Chinese kids who've studied calligraphy in some form than American kids who have, but calligraphy isn't the only writing art that would be beneficial to drawing. Doing graffiti tags or making those journals with the neatly hand lettered headings everywhere would provide a similar boost to drawing because the same skills are being practiced.

>>7668026
>>7668009
If you two are still here, my discord is astraltellurian, I don't need a mentor (I have a few friends that mentor me already) but I do want to be in a art server without you-know-who's. If /beg/ has a discord I'd like to be in it

>>7668392
I think some people have transferable skills that weren't explicitly taught to them but arose as a result of other things like what you said about Chinese. Children who grow up with language with tonality (asian languages) tend to have higher rates of absolute pitch too, and thus have a much easier time learning music

>>7668438
OH NO NO NO

>>7668447
cute one paigey
still cant marry you after the takumi incident. im sorry.

>>7668620
aaah a regular satyr! i was referencing a statue and made it into a living guy. ill see if I have any fifes.. I was on a bit of a break but i want to draw more of him desperately! im so glad to know you're interested, i love drawing him

Unfortunately I am currently trying to find a slur that fits for this image

>>7668366
Thank you. This is from a study, but I hope to be able to replicate these sort of lines from imagination too.and the study helped me a lot. I realized that I was not really drawing lips to the form in my previous drawings for example.

>>7668631

KYS, you normie bastard, you are a dumb beast who didn't understand anything, you are a dumb beast who still doesn't understand why I snapped at you, you disgusting scum, those anons from the subreddit were right, you bastards have no empathy, you are creatures

Fucking faggot, just like you, slutty sluts from Instagram

There he is

>>7668384
offspring of a dog, you shouldn't refuse to insult such beasts, they bring to suicide and depression of life those who absolutely could not influence their genes

Finished the drawing, took me all day but I think it came out very cute. I wasn't sure if I should've unblurred the flower since it's on the foreground, but I think like this looks best. Thanks to the anons that helped improve it!

These scum will never feel that their lives, feelings, etc. are made up shit.

Fucking bastard

Me when I survive Ukraine (I lost my legs tho)

This cattle wants others to humiliate themselves, but not dare to snap at these scum.

This creature has no empathy, this reiard even understood why I began to hate him, stupid faggot

Relax bro

Glad I wasn't the only one having trouble

>>7668708
never get any screenless that isn't the wacom one. It's cheap and good, I drew this on it >>7668673

>>7668310
Thank you, I tried emphasizing the angle of the hips more, think some of it will have to come from shading so I'll keep that in mind. As for the butt, I started making it rounder but it made him look too much like a woman so I went back. Did try to define the shape more, idk if that's enough.

>>7668706
What did she do ? From the screenshot above seems like nothing wrong

>>7668708
Its good, better than w*cum, no driver issues, you get some nibs if you get the pack. And the microkeyboard is goated

>>7668722

Lmao this is why I stopped posting art here, it's just this one slav schizoposting and a bunch of foids blogposting
What a shitshow

I need to learn how to draw things that aren't lazy fanart...

the anatomy and perspective are terrible here pls help

>>7668737
this is a woman thread

You're scum and evil

>>7668737
How can an anonymous imageboard even manifest such things.

>>7668746
keep going. gonna report this shit as offtopic.
i dont care about your melties.

>the Russian schizo is unironically having a meltdown because he has a tiny dick
Holy shit lmao

>>7668747
So you've shown yourself.

>>7668745
how d'ya think?
the schizos were already bad enough without bringing offsite drama into it.

>>7668716
i already have an ipad but i've honestly been tempted to try and go back to a regular tablet... the glass surface still feels off for me

Im finna stroke one out maybe you should too Ivan to calm down a bit

>>7668753
Buy a paperlike screenprotector thingy its gamechanging. No need to go for the pricey original brand i buy mine for cheap on Temu and it works well

>>7668755
He's too small to stroke.

war is over guys, it seems he is gone. time to draw.

Artwork/Critique?

>>7668626
What did you learn from this study?

>>7668753
dont get a wacom like the other anon said, wacom is coded by pajeets, the driver stops working every 2 business days, just get another brand. any other brand. i beg you

>>7668764
A regular day

>>7668769
nice, love the folds niisan

>>7668753
Try wacom, anon. Don't listen to the other anons. It's the best experience you'll have and as I said, it's cheap. If you regret your purchase, atleast you won't have spent 450 usd on it.

The drivers are good, never had any problems with them, build quality is good too.

>>7668013 (OP)
How can I improve this?

>>7668757
i considered it but i heard those can ruin the nib on the stylus and it messes with color clarity

>>7668765
colors mostly and how they work I'd say

>>7668753
Anon do not buy a w*cum
Look at this shit
Its goated

>>7668774
More in-between frames so it doesn't look so stiff. Basically make the idle animation smoother. Also, make the fire move underneath her.

>>7668781
that looks nice but i'm an autistic neet so my money is limited
i've tried huion and xppen for screenless before, huion was alright and the xppen was okay too but had some weird issues where it wouldn't remember pen pressure and stuff

>>7668786
ill send you my old xencelabs if you give me your contact
i have one laying around
again, do not buy a w*cum

>>7668786
Wacom would never fail you like that.

>>7668784
I'm thinking of adding 1 or 2 more frames, I'm gonna use this as an idle animation in a game, so I don't want to many frames. Any advice on where to add more frames or how I can exaggerate the movement more? Moving flames will be available in the dlc.

>>7668791
just alternate 2 frames n a longer time period if youre doing it for a game

>>7668791
Omg, anon I just noticed you're doing frame by frame. Don't do that, seriously. Tweening is a LOT better for game sprites if they aren't unique or super important like an idle animation. You could make a super smooth one with little effort which will look a lot better than this one.

>>7668764
I would post work but anons here won't like it, which makes kinda sense cause most people here want to draw cute anime girls

>>7668774
The point the foot is making contact with the ground is moving around when it should remain consistent.

>>7668673
pretty good, but would probably look better with a different time of the day for the backdrop or have it be a bit desaturated to make the character stand out more. I feel like the lighting on the character doesn't quite match the lighting of the BG.


>>7668661
>>7668694
the ref is really low image quality wise so it's really difficult to draw off of. watch out for the silhouette and negative spaces you can decipher

>>7668099
kek

>>7668788
that's very nice but i'm a leaf and i'm guessing you're usa so i don't know if you want to do international

>>7668794
How does one tween? I've never animated before. Do I need new software? I'm using CSP.

Deersis is a size queen?

>>7668801
Could try Dragonbones.

>>7668798
>pretty good, but would probably look better with a different time of the day for the backdrop or have it be a bit desaturated to make the character stand out more. I feel like the lighting on the character doesn't quite match the lighting of the BG.
I'm still learning backgrounds, thanks for the critique. it looked a lot better before I cropped, but now that I look at it, without the full image it does look odd.

>>7668801
Most people use adobe animate for it. First you have to separate each part of the character on different layers, then you put them in adobe animate and you can move it around like a skeleton. Minus8, if you know his animations, does tweening instead of frame by frame animation for example.

>>7668802
wait what did I do I haven't been posting just watching why did you make this post

test

test

>>7668435

mfw wanna draw but burnt out on pose studies so the only other option is learning to color but i hate color

i've seen a lot of speedpaints without refs. i'm guessing they're on a second monitor? kinda annoying since knowing what kind of refs they pick and what they take from them would be useful.

So howie aka russiafag has microdick and he is seething that here. This is the funniest shit i've seen. You can't make this shit up.

Last time I post this one, tell me what you think

>>7668817
Howie and the Russian (this thread's schizo) are different, however it's likely both of them are microdicked.

>>7668811
why?
is it bc of the brushes?
is it bc you never like how it turns out?


i like the little vilpu blops

>>7668781
that does look sick

>>7668820
Are they really different though?

>>7668818
looks good. we'd probably seeing less of the eye from that angle. wings are okay but maybe they'd look better by using real wing anatomy?

>>7668799

i havent laughed this much in days, thanks anon

any particular way you want to verify that it's (me) if i drop my contact?

>>7668831
i dot give a shit a bro, i have a tablet, i want to give it to someone who wants it, just post the contact

>>7668794
Idk if I am feeling the tweening. I'm going for a Guilty Gear or SkullGirls kinda vibe. But your advice is still good, I think what I need to do is make the key frames more unique and dynamic. Thanks anon.

>>7668805
You gonna answer his question or ?

I don't think I understand gesture drawing.

>>7668867
haha i know right, why did he fall for such an obvious trap? we'll never know..

>can't see half the lewd posts on Xitter anymore because we're back in 1984
Im not even Br*tish what the fuck man, how am I meant to make it into the gooner draw scene now

>>7668821
>why?
feels impossible to find colors that both make sense and look cool to me for every color because of color relativity
i could just study moar but picking colors that look right feels like having to learn in a very stupid way that doesn't have to do with drawing

>>7668811
do value instead

>>7668874
Change your location to Japan

>>7668880
hmm.. good suggestion actually

how do I not fuck up the perspective on these nameless skyscrapers? What is a good rule to follow

Is it truly a meme? Am I wasting time? Should I just jump straight to construction?
Also, can I have some critique on my rendering?

>>7668435
Uber driver

Took more advices. I’m tired of working on this now. Here’s the result! Enjoy ball fucking!

>>7668922
No, it's not lol. I'm just pulling your leg anon. The rendering looks solid, mogs me. Think you should've went full on the legs, it'd look very nice like that. Also, the head looks a bit off, but I can't pin point what it is exactly.

>>7668924
can you explain why you're into ball fucking. just curious

>>7668924
Again, this is disgusting, but very nice anon! came out very nicely and the lamb shading is nice, and so is leon's cute face.

>>7668926
Yeah, legs are kinda my weak point during gesture drawing, quite difficult to connect the hips to the legs.
Also after I posted I realized I fucked up the values on the forehead, might be one of the reasons it looks off. It's also just not that accurate.

>>7668928
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA ;;;;; hahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH HHAAAHAHAHA oh my godpfffftthbhfhb shahahha a andhhd

I’ve never ever drawn ball fucking before also I’m a lesbian. Um I drew this because it’s gross and I think it would be something gross that he merchant would do.

>>7668922
you missed the positioning and tilt of her head, mostly because of extending her left trapezoid too much
I think gesture should be practice when you feel the need for it (i.e. when drawing figures from imagination, they turn out too stiff or unnatural)

>>7668932
woman general

>>7668936
Women are rapemeat, it is as natural as predators killing prey.

>>7668939
no the deer man is rape meat not women srry

>>7668940
Females are biologically designed to be raped.

As a general rule, if the art posted here is depraved fetish shit it's drawn by a foid.

>>7668934
Damn, it was right in front of me and I didn't even see. Thanks anon.
Yeah, I'm gonna keep doing these then, my figures are incredibly stiff when drawing, even with reference.

>>7668942

>>7668929
Thank you!!!
Sorry that I was disgusting this week. I’ll probably return to tron 1982 fanart. I’m glad you think Leon is cute.

>>7668932
if ur a lesbian why not draw lesbian porn instead of gay porn?

>>7668948
I draw all sorts of porn. Straight, gay, lesbian, tranny. It doesn’t matter to me because I’m not in it.

Lots of lesbians watch gay porn btw.

how do you even ball rape someone

>>7668950
may i request ur blog?

>>7668953
sure its pixiv : users/43098946
But if you're trying to gotcha me, here's some stuff i've done that i havent posted online.

>>7668902
it turns out that CSP has a built in perspective grid. What will those crazy japs think up next

The problem is I can't seem to use it with any effectiveness.

>>7668951
money

I am a total /beg/ and think I might be going about it the wrong way. I draw something because I want to, but the sketch/line/coloring process means a given image will usually take me 5-8 hours and be bad. That's not particularly demotivating for me, but it does mean I burn out on drawing every day and wind up taking week or multi-week breaks after only a few days of doing it, and my output winds up being 3-5 images a month, which is still like 30 hours of drawing (or an hour per day spread out) but not nearly enough actual output to improve.

>>7668957
Is that Menchi from hxh

>>7668967
solution: sketch more and only go for the finish on sketches that you feel particularly good about
or not. You can go about it any way you want. It's not a race either way. And if you're really beg, any mileage you get out of drawing is good. Improvement is not always linear.

>>7668961
just use photo ref niggy

>>7668973
some pokémon trainer idk, it was part of a draw thread

>>7668975
do you see how those similar looking skyscrapers aren't at the eye level I'm drawing them at? Why answer a question no one asked?

>>7668967
>I burn out on drawing every day and wind up taking week or multi-week breaks
consistency is important, so that will slow down your progress
you can do studies between each image to improve specific aspects of them, and not lose the habit at the same time

>>7668957
I love your gallery anon. I, too, like gay porn. But I am not a lesbian.
>>7668961
It's really useful if you look up the tutorials for it. You barely have to do any thinking once you master it.

Do you have any other store assets that are useful like this one?

>>7669021
Super nice.

>>7669008
Thank you dear anon. According to this image I have a dynamic tripod grip. I recently got a new chair (my old one was straight up a dinky old dining chair, this one's a proper office chair) and an ergonomic keyboard/mouse set. Idk if they're helping though, they feel very awkward to use. i'm looking to upgrade my desk next, it doesn't have enough space for my drawing tablet so i'm forced to put it on my lap.It's also way too tall so i can't have my elbows at a 90 degree angle which is what's recommended apparently.....

Is this how you do the Hampton head?

>>7669043
and inked

>>7668745
Because artstyles are identifiable. The pics you attach are your names and that causes drama.

waa

Somebody please enlighten me on what the drama here was about. All I gathered was jokes about a dick size and a war conscript.

Cute and hot, also great lineart! excited to see finished drawing!!

>>7669051
Right reminded me of the heavy robot

Eeeehh. Drew it on a plane. I was going for classic western comic art and she ended up with manjaw.

Good ending I guess? I sent him a text asking what he means by larger pixels still no reply
I have to go in an hour or so so we will see

>>7669082
Not that guy but I'm guessing it goes back to this >>7668293
>needs to be extremely simplified with only few pixels to fit there
"Needs to be larger pixels" Is a really funny way to communicate that though.

>>7669036
i like how theres measuring stick notch....hatchmark? things. fun.

the thing he posted as reference isn't really that simple
I think I will decline even if he picks me someone this hard to communicate with isn't worth the headache

>>7669097
I am cursed with a bad timezone every time they reply I am either at work or asleep

redline anon here, reply if you need help, will grade and redline.

>>7669100

Something wholesome this time.

>>7669103

>>7669106
Explain yourself, prude!

>>7669103

>>7668924
>>7669106
Wholesome in comparison to my last work. lol.

>>7669110
Sensitive as hell dawg

Okay im getting filtered pretty hard so Im calling it here for today. I think doing a glossy mug might have been a mistake. Maybe I should stick to matte references for now
Also I know Im still not pushing the values quite far enough, I should really just put the reference on the canvas instead of on the second monitor. I dont want to just eyedrop tool all the greys but it makes the glaring differences more apparent

>>7669102

>>7669058
konGOD

>>7669021
your colors are always so nice

>>7669125
while some forms are a bit off they still look like they have volume

are you trolling?

Slop of the day

>>7669273
Fucking awesome, I love body horror stuff

>>7668992
now I truly see

I woke up with a pencil in my hair. Am I an artist now?

>>7669310
It's a sign, you need to eat it to unlock your powers

>>7669043
Your heads are looking better, but I'd recommend you to stick with just one method. Either study Hampton or Morpho; the one you're not actively studying can be a general reference. You waste more time alternating back and forth, rather than processing what one is trying to say fully. Hampton will help you understand the planes of the head better, while Morpho will teach you the importance of line weight to convey form and landmarks.

Does anyone have suggestions for hour-tracking apps? This is lame, but something similar to how Steam tracks your hours in a game. It gives me motivation when I see the number of hours I spend drawing, maintaining consistency.

>>7669313
Oops had to fix my own head

>>7669327
>>7669313
why are trying to draw this stupid fucking ghoul unfinished face for 3 days, what are you trying to achieve by doing this?

>>7669332
Are you okay? I am a different anon suggesting corrections, not the OP. This is my first time drawing it. Maybe you should wipe your upper lip if you're so focused on other people's shit, dumb hog. Fix your wedgie, you're crabbing so hard it's pulling on your ass crack

>>7669335
chill out little bro, i didnt read the posts just saw the same stupid fucking face ive been seing for 3 threads

>>7669337
Are you unironically a twelve years old

>>7669340
youre trying too hard
keep drawing your ghouls i guess

>>7669342
kek, who are you trying to grandstand to even?

>>7669342
>>7669337
>I hate when people DRAW on a DRAWING BOARD. WAHHH WAHHHH WAHHHH
I'd rather have thousands of ghouls in the beg thread than hear bitching whining over someone trying to improve

>>7669359
then ill keep bitching just for you

>>7668643
Dreads on a sheep is inspired but the rest range from odd to disturbing.

>>7668626
Pay attention to stroke direction on your next one.

>>7669342
If he wants to draw ghouls he can draw ghouls
At least he's drawing FAGGOT

20/100 hands
its very painful

I was suggested to study having fun with a pencil, from Loomis. I'm not sure I'm improving much, but for sure I'm totally not coherent, with some stuff looking decent other horrible all drawing one after another.

I feel so dumb. Any help?

>>7669402
no wonder you all suck if you get proud over such trivial shit

>>7669419
Pyw and show how much better than the rest of this thread you are then or shut your mouth forever, dog

>soft brush: everything turns muddy
>hard brush: brush strokes are too obvious
what's the solution?

>>7669438
Hardish-softish brush

Guise, am I talent??

>>7669416
Get a strong understanding of how to draw a ball in 3D space. Right now you’re placing features on a circle. Study how to draw forms properly first and then loomis will become a cake walk.

>>7669438

>>7669446
Shitposting aside, I went through my pc a couple of days ago and found good old PaintTool SAI that I had downloaded from DA or Tumblr like a decade ago, I booted it up and have been doodling a bit and honestly it's pretty fun, I regret instantly quitting back then lol.

I have no idea what I'm doing with things like canvas size and I'm not using any tools that the program offers I'm basically just drawing as if it was mspaint, I thought about asking for advice or any good guides on yt here but honestly lurking these depressing threads idk if it's the right place lol

>>7669419
Central row, left one felt and looked decent enough to me

Would studying two artists whose styles are very different be detrimental to my learning? I'm trying to do eye/face studies since I feel like my faces have been lacking recently, and I like both of these artists, but part of me is worried from a style-integration standpoint that studying two styles that are so far apart from eachother will hinder my learning. Do you guys think it should be fine?

>>7669498
Its better to focus only on one thing

>>7669498
nah, studying a single style gets you really good at that style, that's it. ideally begs should focus on fundies, styles aren't really detrimental or helpful in that sense, they only help if you wanna draw exactly like a certain artist.

I want to draw something so bad, but I can't have any ideas today. I was in such a good streak, have been posting drawings everyday here for a week. I can't stop now ughghgh kms

>>7669485
aaww this is so cute. Is that aigis?

>>7668328
>chatgpt anon's bootcamp
I haven't been on /ic/ for a while, could someone post this? Genuinely curious.

>>7669514
Nothingburger that the Russian talent schizo (who was exposed for having a tiny dick ITT, not even joking) harps on about daily.

>>7669510
waa thank you, but nah it's not aigis, I have been having trouble with motivation for a while so I told myself I would draw something based on whatever vocaloid song I was listening to at the moment, this is what I used as ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UHYj16ar9U

>I want to draw something so bad, but I can't have any ideas today

Uhm, maybe something from some media you really enjoy?

>>7669519
What tha fac, why is the pic sideways

>>7669499
>>7669508
between the two which would you suggest? i like them both pretty equally but I do want to try to do scenario pieces like pic rel, and I have a bit of trouble mentally seeing how that could be done well with the disgaea style

>>7669514
He might post it again, its just a daily routine to grind the most basic stuff like mark making, drawing from reference, drawing from memory, and simple forms. It's like 3 hours or so, a pretty solid routine

From dtiys. Trying to stylize some parts of my drawing.

>>7669533
And a doodle purely from imagination.

>>7669533
>>7669536
steadily improving, mogs me

I'll toss you Twitter artists who want to make it big a freebie
Just draw a lewd tentacle piece of pic related, big numbers I promise

>>7669519
Lemme try again, whoever came up with this auto rotate shit should really go to ass rape jail

>>7669555
let me assrape you 台くん

>>7669519
>Uhm, maybe something from some media you really enjoy?
That's the thing, there isn't anything i'm really into lately. I've been so focused on just drawing and drawing that I haven't played anything, done anything else lately

>>7669562
Erhm, sorry chud but my ass is off limits for nodraw keks

>>7669565
I'm the total opposite, I keep procrastinating and doing other stuff instead of drawing and have to force myself to draw whatever I'm watching / listening to otherwise I won't draw anything for like a week lol, sorry I can't really give you any tips

>>7669525
the most important thing in that image is the background, so focus on being able to draw original backgrounds in 4 or 5 point perspective is more important than slapping a couple of cute, simplified characters onto it

>>7669569
what is the point of this?

>>7669524
EXIF stripping. The thing that prevents newfags like you from doxxing yourselves

>>7669582
Oh, is that so? Guess I shouldn't seethe so much then, It's just frustrating when you take a pic with your phone, and it looks fine, then you upload it to the drive and it looks fine, then you save it to the pc and check it with IrfanView and it looks fine so after all that it's time to post right? And then it comes out fucking sideways idk that makes me mad as hell.

I turned off Irfans auto rotate thing so now I can check which images have fucked up orientation at least idk how you guys do it though

>>7669581

台くん i draw more than you (;-;)

>>7669608
Well, post some then, don't be shy, and yeah you probably do I just draw some lazy sketches for like 30m-1hour a day nyo

>>7669631
no, i draw 4-5 hours a day, 台くん
im not that good though, forgive me.
ill draw something up for you

>>7669634
hmm, why don't you try drawin Teto? Here's an older crappy sketch from me

I was bothered by the breasts (the face I know i must work on), so I tried to understand them.

nope cant do, heres some 15 min sakura sketches

Today’s life drawing

>>7669597
Get a better camera app. There's OpenCamera as an option.

>>7669514
Test (to see where you stand):
-10 mins, slow deliberate lines (horizontal, vertical, 45° both directions)
-10 mins, ellipses, circles, figure eights
-10 mins, ghost lines, practice confident single stroke turns
- 30 mins, pick 2 simple objects (cup, chair, tool), draw with ref
-15 min break
-30 mins, redraw both objects from memory, no ref
1 hour, lines only, no shading, 5 household objects with refs, 3 should be drawn through as if transparent.

Daily (for a week):
-10 mins, straight lines (ghost+ fast execute)
-10 mins, ellipses in boxes, between lines, in perspective
-10 mins, C curves, S curves, spirals, zigzags (aim to replicate as close as possible)
- No time limit, draw 10 ellipses, then redraw from memory
- No time limit, draw 5 boxes total from imagination (can mark vanishing points if needed) can mix and match, but try drawing atleast one with 1vp, 2vp and 3vp
- about 1 hour, choose 2 objects, draw them with ref (15-20 mins each), put ref away/cover your drawing and redraw each from memory (15 mins each), light construction lines, push to capture proportion and specific curve identity
-30-40 mins, choose 1 simple form (mug, bottle, box, hammer), draw it at 4 different rotating angles (draw cube/rectangle to help facings), sketch lightly then clarify contour, at least 1 should be without refs or guides, occasionally rotate vertically
-60 mins, pick 3-5 household objects (no photoref), use draw through, rebuild form with basic primitives, show centerlines, crosscontours, elipses and axes, at least 1 object assymetrical
- 20-30 mins (5 mins per object), from memory (no references) redraw 4-6 objects, can be an object you drew before, No guidelines, just quick line sketch, if possible from multiple angles
-10 mins, sketchbook play.
- additionally, at the end of the week, redraw the object you felt was the best from memory and a different angle, then compare the two. Annoint where you feel both failed.

warm up

Oh, that looks awesome, you don't have to ask anyone for forgiveness you are way better than me lol, how long have you been drawing for if you don't mind me asking? Sadly I can't read what you wrote, I told myself that I was gonna learn to draw and speak Japanese this year but I mostly just procrastinate like usual T_T

and, an anzai sketch for you
btw, you remind me of that armpit girl, is that you? i remember she namefagged, though.

>>7669706
Anon, why haven't you left the server if it's filled with children? it's obvious you won't get any advice there.
From my experience, discord servers for art are very, very bad. If you ask for advice you'll be ignored or will get shit advice, people are always smelling their own farts and there's too many stupid rules.
I wish there was one for the beg thread, but it'd probably bring in the schizos and it'd derail the discussion there as well.

>>7669717
no, but i do wanna see that

doddled this, atleast I drew something today instead of doing nothing

>>7669746
It looks like you meant to draw udon instead of rice. It feels really uncanny to see the rice defying gravity like that.

>>7669749
I tried to make it like she's holding the bowl and shoving it all into her mouth with the stick lol. its from a scene in the anime, guess it came out pretty shit but it did take like 10 minutes to draw so its fine

Breaking news: Permabegschizo got the shit beaten out of him in a ring and now suffers from a broken nose and a concussion. Let's hope he recovers soon

>>7669774
First thing that struck me was the jaw shape. That's usually the problem from my experience too. Your sketch is still appealing in its own way though.

Big lie

I really should study anatomy.......

>>7670003
Bro just look at the numbers. There are way more talented artists here like the guy who draws porn of the touhous, Foxfag and mangakafag who cant even get more than two digit likes on their inspired work while this guy posts traced ai footslop and has 10 times more followers than the rest combined.

>>7670009
i think one of the things you're naive to is the reason why people like his art is because it still has that bit of "beginner wonky" especially in the faces. it gives a soulful charm to what would otherwise be pretty generic tasteless goon and makes it stand out, because they're still leaning into /beg/ even if the body is well painted. people get sick of seeing fully polished shit

>>7670009
Bro move on, he posted his drawing timelapse
btw he doesn't even post here anymore, we don't need that in the thread

This guy makes more numbers by just posting his studies https://x.com/Riylart
>touhouguy
Most of the time his stuff exaggerated, good for degenerates, but not really for normalfags (which is most of the public)
>foxfag
High potential, but honestly all his girls look the same. Could go out of his comfort zone (also can’t draw feet)
>mangafag
also ok, but it’s not really the kind of thing that blows up on Twitter unless you’re WAY above average. The guy I posted is high skilled, that's why it works for him

And yeah, there’s also the algorithm factor, which is mostly just luck anyway.

>>7670009

Im flattered but ive been drawing for less than a year, besides i draw for fun not to see number go up

as a permabeg, should I use a tripcode so people can filter out my drawings if they'd rather not have the thread polluted?

*cries*

Never produced a single finished work award.

I have been busy after getting a job but I get to draw after work

Anyone have any tips/resources to help with rendering using the hard round brush? Im still just starting out but Im trying to get more comfortable with creating gradiants and general smooth transitions between values without things looking too muddy

Nope, I don't think I have a name here. Haven't posted here in a while

started a new painting today
will surely need to fix a bunch of stuff tomorrow with fresh eyes

I feel like my time is better spent grinding studies until I can draw something that matches my expectations. I'll probably just be a sketchcel for life.

>>7670292
Gardevoirfag? Looks really good. What did you use to study rendering?

im gonna give gesture a shot

>>7670298
What is this pose meant to convey?

>>7670299
nothing, thats why im gonna try gesture

>>7670296
Not sure who that is, but I did parts of meds map and skimmed through 'how to render'
Both are pretty good imo

holding an invisible wine glass, swirling it around and looking at it, which is something wine snobs do, I don't know why

There aren't any great ones. Best one we've got is Ctrl+Paint.

blocking in the light and shadow with the hard round brush is fine but rendering with it is a bit of a pain. it is good for developing your skills, just don't get too hung up on it. this video explains the basic technique, you can use flow, opacity or both.

there are other ways to render which are faster and cleaner, they each have their own pros and cons..some people like the simplicity of just using one basic brush like the hard round. try out all the different tools to see which workflow you prefer.

good resources for accuracy and proportions from imagination?

>>7670504
I'm not from the UK though

No matter what I do, especially in a side view. My eyes look symbol-y as fuck, regardless if I do 3D construction or not. Is it because I'm drawing too small? I've wanted to draw semi-realistic figures on sketchbook sized paper but I don't know how feasible that is without making the features look like shit. My eyes always turn into this symbol-y <) shit. And yes I know everything in the picture is off but this wasn't a serious attempt, this was some quick scribble shit to illustrate the point.Either way wtf can I do?
