Thread 7672139

What should a newbie do after hes done with observational drawing? Drawabox?

first off, post your work. Secondly, it depends.

What is the thing you would most want to draw right now?

>>7672151
cartoons...

>>7672268
why did you ignore the first part? is your post that another thread died for just worthless bait?

HOWIE, CRIS, PYW

>>7672269
not really its just that i feel lost

I do draw

>>7672305
prove it

>>7672139 (OP)
take the funpil and go draw stuff you are interested on even if you suck. too much studying and no fun drawing will take you nowhere

>>7672139 (OP)
Life drawing/Gesture exercises. You gotta learn how the body moves and acts learn to a point of independence from reference(or at least be able to act it out yourself to see what it is you are actually trying to do).
For reference as I was studying/learning I was drawing the skeleton once a day(I had the privlage of having an actual one to look at so just try to find high quality pics/3D models) cause most gestures require you to draw a basic skeletal frame anyway, and do the basic 1 minute 3 minue 5 minute gesture exercises. I had an actual teacher in my case but since Im unaware of your situation just pirate Karl Gnass's Masters Academy course on the subject.
And if your goal is >>7672268
then look up concept art of whatever shitty cartoon you are obsessed with at the moment and apply those exercises to those cartoon characters. As I did my life drawing lessons I studied concept art during the same time just cause I found it interesting. It helps

>>7672139 (OP)
life drawing and learn perspective

>>7672139 (OP)
read the fucking catalog you shitfuck zoomer trash

Just fucking draw, dumbass
Eyeball your ref and draw the boxes later

>>7672343
I kneel.

>>7672139 (OP)
post less niggers
draw more
read the sticky

>>7672343
Start copying cartoons that you like, then add in figure drawing/gesture and basic backgrounds, draw clothing and items too
Draw a box can be a beg trap btw

>>7672139 (OP)
Oh wow you're done with observational drawings? What an achievement! That's something most artists, even the great masters, spend their entire lives trying to improve. Im very impressed

>>7672355
you need to pyw or your advice is worthless

>>7672343
Holy fuck that's nice, I wasn't expecting this.

>>7672697
im sorry

>>7672139 (OP)
>done with observational drawing
You're never done with learning.
This mentality is the reason I'm a working artist, and you are a newbie. Improve your mentality.

>>7674147
Nice larp

>>7674153
Whatever makes you sleep better at night.
Here's my art: >>7650202
Are you going to cry more now or just stop replying, like they always do?

>>7672645
im bad at proportions too

>>7674153
What's wrong, buddy? No response? Nothing snarky to say?

>>7674231
Not op but what are you supposed with this book? Copy?

learn anatomy

>>7674183
lol you snapped his jaw in half bro

>>7674580
Very cool, very unique. Haven't seen that a billion times before. Show your work with a graphite pencil sans the ai holding your cock for you and then we'll talk.

>>7675259
learn the relativity of proportions to ensure your figures don't have giant heads or stumpy legs.

Guys don't tell Paige I said this but every time he posts I get extremely uncomfortable because all I can think about is his micropenis

>>7672139 (OP)
Draw from life

>>7676902
LMAO. It's a fucking timelapse of my process. Are you really despereate to the point of denying reality?

>>7676902
Retard. PYW.

>>7674231
I feel like im not getting it

>>7679890
It's okay, you need an IQ of at least 80 in order to do that.

>>7679890
You need an IQ of at least 80 in order for that. Tough luck.

>>7679955
actually my iq is 95

>>7679955
Don't listen to this crab

>>7680037
Jokes aren't always meant as insults. Chill out paranoid autist (see?).

>>7672568
Nta, but you should kys, you terminally online racist loser

>>7680360
Ok fat fucking loser zoomer crab piece of trash. (jk)

>>7680682
You finally get it.

>>7679890
pfffft, i fucking lost it at the tiny head on the left.

>>7680755
Is it good as a first attempt

you y will never be a real artist

>>7672139 (OP)
drawabox is a good next step
just remember the 50% rule & actually spend some time "playing" (exploring your own limit) in between the lesson's homework, especially during the 250 box challenge
also don't forget to practice the ghosting technique for muscle memory

>>7672139 (OP)
>draw-a-box
Another one bites the dust

>>7679890
I can draw 80 gestural drawings a day easy. When I first started I could do maybe 8 on a good day. And those were wonky as hell. Now I can do a gesture in literally a minute and it still beats anything I did years ago.
By sheer volume and thousands of bad sketches, slowly things came together. That way you also get to develop a method and build confidence in that method.

You have to just grind it out and not get stuck on minute details. Get familiar and study anatomy (muscle and bones), gestures from anything you can learn from and try and apply it to your drawing from imagination.

Your sketch is a good start. Now keep going. Proportions, anatomy all that shit comes with a lot of practise. You just need to put in the hours and expand your visual library that way. Date your drawings so that you can look back at how much you've improved.

Remember: It's a marathon not a sprint.

>>7682903
thanks.

>>7681363
try actually thinking

>>7672139 (OP)
>Drawabox
Skip the middleman

>>7691288
Whats this supposed to mean

>>7679890
if you draw heads too small, then the problem was at the first step when you were sorting out the proportions. You dont want to be halfway through drawing a head and realize its too small, so do more figures that are jut stickfigure/boxes so the proportions are more consistent.

>>7693410
I'm guessing just go straight with peter han dynamic sketching course, since drawbox is heavily inspired on his course.

>>7693664
I don't know why people in this board can't understand that dab and ds have different goals and ds isn't for /beg/

>>7682903
You grind
But then you also just draw your own project.
I feel like people kept putting being able to draw like a competition or like they want to prove to a higher being that they could eventually draw like their idols. I think this mentality is not healthy. I'm kinda at the 'my responsibilities has gotten much bigger that things I used to care about a lot in college doesnt hold as much weight' phase but I still enjoyed the journey.

>>7672139 (OP)
I don't think any artist is ever done with observational drawing

>>7693559
this happens to me way too often

>>7693699
IM ACTUALLY TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND DRAWING

DO I STUDY PROPORTIONS AND CUBES ON THE SIDE? OR SHOULD I FOCUS ON A SINGLE TOPIC FOR NOW

>>7679890
For me it is the Hank Hill ass

>>7698300
lmao

your first mistake was using loomis as a help book

>>7701377
why? whats wrong with loomis head and hands?

>>7698276
uhhhhhjjjghh

>>7672343
Hadn't released a load this powerful and heavy before literally had me sweating and screaming in the toilet thanks
