Vintage Women are saving me from AI reference.

Wip
Experimenting for my own style

>>7669279
Look depressed, are you depressed?

>>7669279

>>7669306
I am very happy, too happy perhaps going by the scale of misery that pervades the board. I appreciate your concern however.

>>7669529
New drawing? The eyes still look depressed

>>7669216 (OP)
I tried. I haven't drawn a real person since... oh man

>>7670404
Cute hands, you from calsarts or doing loli?

>>7670742
Beautiful trad, pencil? What is the white stuff?

>>7670996
Cum

>>7669216 (OP)
20 min sketch

>>7671339
Uhhh

>>7671339
>>7671360
anon you need to commit, at least 1 hour, come on, you can do it.

>>7670996
Thanks. It is white chalk.

>>7671440
Nice, white chalk, do you have to spray fixative? Will it stick?

>>7671431
Fine
My back hurts vghh

>>7671446
Anon don't have to push yourself for an online drawing...stay safe!

>>7671444
I just use white chalk, but I also have no intention of fixating it since I don't often used the sketch book I drew this picture on. Looking at my my older drawings, I can say the white chalk fades a little bit and transfers a little onto the previous pages, but it stays at the same place and remains visible.
(I draw on toned gray paper by Strathmore, but I don't know if that's relevant info)

>>7671531
Pencil, graphite on gray paper and white chalk, fantastic usage. Safe a lot of time if you cut the shape with dark or light.

>>7671360
>>7671431
Ehhhh
God why are hands so odd
I took a nap and my back is alright again

>>7671638
What brushes did you use

>>7671643
Hard round for most of it and a default oil painting one for the hair

>>7671600
It's bending slightly, the form feels slightly pull back. There's tension.

>>7669216 (OP)
I don't know why when I look at this image, I immediately imagine her closing her eyes and shaking her shoulders in the most sassy way possible.

>>7671652
Going back

>>7671680
Second round, fight! God speed anon. Finish her!

>>7671680
The hands are so fuckin me up mang

>>7671701
Soooo
How'd I do

>>7671785
Better than before but the hand shouldn't be black or white

>>7671785
Yeeeeah well I can't draw hands
It's so ass

>>7672370
It's a challenging pose. I recommend reading Loomis if want to learn hands.

>>7672451
Very nice dirty lines, I like it, especially the shadow.

Weekend is coming, time to draw!

Hair and shading are quite bad

>>7673345
wtf how did you manage to make her look asian LOL

>>7673345
Minus the shading (which makes her face look flat), the form is quite nice, except the lips are a little tilted.

>>7673348
It's my super power, so beware or I'll give you a small Asian peepee..

>>7673371
thanks for the feedback

>>7672451
nice!

>>7670495
Eh I guess you could say I draw loli? I dunno. I just like drawing cute girls of any kind.

>>7673379
>I'll give you a small Asian peepee..
Already am.
>>7673423
It's cute, I appreciate cute drawers. Loli are so prosecuted, I feel sad for loli drawers.

>>7669216 (OP)

>>7669216 (OP)
thumbnail

>>7673516
Thumbnail as in smoll drawing?

>>7673729
Yes

>>7674613
Wtf reminds me of my ex crush.

>>7674624
care to tell a story?

>>7674631
Can't tell a story here, eventually will write it for a book. Hehe

>>7670446
Amazing brother

>>7671107
>>7671316
Very nice

got bored of it midway through

>>7674911
purdy gud though. do you listen to stuff while doodling? audiobooks keep my stupid word brain entertained, so the draw brain can go at it

>>7675004
thsanks !! ye, i do listen to stuff while painting or drawing

tho, i pretty much listen to music 24/7

>>7675018
Have you tried not listening? Is drawing better with or without? I got instantly better without.

>>7675184
i tried and i can't perform as well, i can put on the same results, but it gets me agitated

i have anxiety, so music or background noise will help keep away the ''useless'' thoughts, it is kind of a bad habit for me tho, i can't listen to music while on work, so i get agitated and as soon as i get off work i instantly put on some music

so, ye... it helps me concentrate on my drawings and other things

>>7675218
Sounds like you need to stop listening if you know it is a bad habit, a valid reason to quit.

>>7675270
ye fr, but it's easier said than done

>>7675317
nta, but its fine. i'm the same. all the other people are mostly just noise, have nothing to say but talk all day. its rare to find someone who isnt just noise. put on the music if it helps you, youre not alone.

>>7675329
fr, i feel like it would help just the same if i had someone that i genuinely enjoyed wasting time with, but that's not the case, so music and drawing it is

>>7675317
Use a electric collar muhahahsha

This is almost the exact pose we had for the last DTIYS thread....

>>7675494
buy me one

>>7669216 (OP)
Not sure if /beg should try, still here's my go at it

>>7670742
Best one

>>7675018
oh hello, fellow viagra boys enjoyer

>>7675982
howdy, i was sleepin

>>7675884
If you are worth owning.
>>7675941
Good try

>>7676125
i could be your sweet Galatea

you guys just draw random shit you see on /ic/? how???? drawing is agony for me and I have to work up the strength to do it.

>>7676193
>drawing is agony for me
perhaps don't draw then? get another hobby

>>7669216 (OP)
difficult , reference is so spotless and perfect and kinda flat idk
right is more what i'd draw normally

>>7672451
love this

>>7676165
If you are made of ivory.
>>7676389
It takes skill to make it 3D.

>>7676630
She is so smug lmao

>>7677395
Anon, you have to chill with the pencil, hold it like it is a baby's or a woman's hand, you are so hard with your pencil that the paper is warping.

>>7675941
Gave it another go, trying to make her more lookalike. Failed.

>>7677398
Don't worry, it's all part of the process. You are bored of the picture?

>>7677404
It's kind of unnatural looking to me, probably due to camera lenses used, dunno

>>7677486
I don't know what to tell you buddy, you have to draw a lot more, but I believe you can, because you actually did something that expressed your boredom or at least I felt it in your lines.

>>7670446
Always love seeing your stuff

>>7670742
This one is great

>>7671107
I like the style and feeling of this one

>>7671316
Soul. It’s giving Tim Burton

>>7677489
I draw a bit everyday, trying to get a bit better at it studying but so far not much is changing.

I'll eventually improve I think

>>7677518
Try drawing circles and lines for fun. If you want to practice.

>>7677524
Oh in doodle around whenever I have the chance

My participation

>>7677844
What's up with the painting out of frame lol

>>7678588
I did the frame after

>>7677844
Do not belong to beg and ints mate!

>>7678952
I see, you like to paint on big canvas and crop after...

>>7675941
>>7677398
I was so disappointed at myself that I had to try again with a bit more effort... And I gave a try at hands too

Any suggestions are welcome, as always.

>>7679034
Seems like you just need to draw more, it's getting better each time.

>>7679158
I'll trust you on this, I'm always so unsatisfied and never feel in move forward...

Also I'm having a hard time spotting where I mess up

An attempt was made, but at least I'm starting to see where I'm fucking up with feature placement (unfortunately after I'm done).

>>7681757
You can always draw again

Vintage hairs, how the fuck do they work.

Even though this could be a lot better in many ways I had fun making this.
I fucking suck at drawing fingers and this really shows it, along with me being lazy by not drawing her bracelet properly. Also was about to make adjusments to hair, but Krita crashed so yeah.

>>7685618
Oh yeah, also had not clue about the hair so I just did "something" lol. Should really follow the refrence and learn new stuff

>>7682260
They flow like wind on smooth long grass.

>>7688480
That diagonal lines, reminds me of photoshop filters, I long have abandoned all abode products.

>>7670742
fucking amazing

I say this thread still has a bit of life left in it. Bump

idk cant draw faces or hands so good practice, made will playing vidya

>>7695949
damn the shading looks alot lighter on here

>>7670742
Blog plzzzz

>>7669279
>>7669529
You're curving her eyebrows too much OP. Look closely. They're more straight. It just gives the illusion that she looks sad.

A lot of good stuff in here. A lot of people putting in the work to get better. I appreciate it all.

My attempt. Fun exercise guys!

>>7699703
diggin this one

>>7677398
>Failed.
There is no failure in art. You stepped up, you did what you did. Keep at it! :)

>>7677395
Cute!

>>7701565
Best hair of thread

>>7670742
Very nice drawing but I get some 50s 60s pin up vibes

I drawed this and it succeeded pretty good for /beg/ except hair and hands which I didn't even try much, I focused on getting the facial proportions and features correct feels pretty good

Quickie

I shown my mom all your drawings and she had a few laughter, like a few, she unfortunately did not like my drawing lmao. All in all a wholesome experience.

>>7702982
>she unfortunately did not like my drawing lmao
bad mamma

>>7669216 (OP)
Keeping it oldschool

bump.

I like the reference, where to find more old photos like that one?

I envy all who can paint.

>>7708683
probably pinterest. look for clara bow and it'll suggest you more if you browse the pictures

7670404
I like this.

7670742
Great

7673516
Cute

7675941
Try anything, keep going.

7676630
Super Cute

>>7699703
Super hot.

I hate spam detection so much.

Was fun

looking at everyone else.. I'm average! yey! my mediocrity is less mediocre!

>>7711587
that left eye is too far apart from the right, but other than that i like everything here

Just as I was finishing I noticed the face ended up way too long. Well fuck it good enough, been a long day.

>>7714796
i do this a lot. putting the piece away after sketchinh helps find issues

>>7714664
Yeah I tend to do that does this look better?

>>7715265
Different anon here. The left eye is still needs to be nudged more to the right. Also I think the slight tilt to the face is fucking with the angle of the bangs, which deferred more to the reference who is more vertically aligned instead of being adapted to your own take. Here's my 'corrections', take it with a grain of salt

>>7669216 (OP)
I wanted to exaggerate her hair just a bit more, but I got lazy towards the end, oh well.

I don't have a style so here's a quick sketch

>>7670404
>>7670742
>>7671316
>>7672451
>>7674911
>>7676630
I dig these ones

>>7716388
cont.
>>7677844
>>7696301
>>7699703
>>7701565
>>7702444
And I dig these ones too.

stop giving me the jellies :(

Tried to redraw it from memory. Eyes jsut wandered off her head

>>7718613
gud job anon. Here's some acknowledgement.

>>7718613
pshh shut up dude, I can draw better than you, dude but I'm not using pencils this year so you're lucky ;-)

>>7715576
Cerulean?

>>7722441
Feeling blue?

>>7722620
apparently it was obvious

theres not enough dtiys threads

>>7723468
I'm digging the obvious chunky square brush.

>>7723468
Dtiys was the only thing that i liked about ic. Somebody make some

>>7723468
>>7723601
A lot of threads become dtiys threads without the label, like >>7684799 which has a bunch of people redrawing the OP's reference.

>>7669216 (OP)
I keep telling myself I'll finish this, but it's been like 3 weeks, so it's not happening.

Haven’t really developed my own style I’m only just venturing into adding values after learning loomis for block in… I hate drawing hair

Had another go adding abit of value and style

>>7724643
An own style comes naturally when you just do the work and the studies. You don't really have to chase the "my style" development goal.

>>7724643
What >>7727401 said. A style will come naturally as you form your own work habits and shortcuts. The only times this isn't the case is when you try too hard to copy someone else's style.

>>7681757
i rlly love this style
