Don't know if this is against protocol, but I just finished the last one posted here and would like some critique/advice on making it feel less alien. Showed my gf and she liked it, but said that if not for the bow lip, she wouldn't have easily guessed the character was female.
>>7680721
other no-draws will be flustered, but youre looking for critque and advice which is basically the reason for this board. its not just a random art dump, but looking to improve on your work. in my opinion and technically in the boards opinion and spirit, post away if you have questions. but as said earlier, just draw for now and dont worry too much about mistakes. get a feeling for shapes and lines and thats that. grinding is the core of becoming good at anything

A big thing making it look alien is that her eyes are too far apart. The general rule is the gap between the eyes is the same width as one eye.
Good job on not outlining her lips or nose, they could use a little more detail but begs usually go overboard and make them look like cartoons.
Seconding this anon

Her pose looks very relaxed/intentional as opposed to being restrained like she wasn't tied there with force but just stood there like that and her captors just put a few ropes around, making sure they were not too tight.

It's happening a lot when I'm trying to sketch digitally. My Kanvas 13 feels too small and I'm trying to adapt myself into doing it by looking at my bigger screen on a new window. But it's still not enough.
But anyway. Got so infatuated with my last Ruu drawing that I tried to see how to replicate this trad texture in CSP. It's a bit work intensive but I guess I got close.

That's not very nice. You're probably a mediocre artist with such hatred within you.
I'll try to better her hand and feet for a minute but otherwise I'm somewhat pleased with how it's turning out. Sure I won't be able to give her the clothes and design I intended, but I'll draw her again later for it.
Also, what is this particular brand of retardation called where my drawing from imagination seems to be better than copying from reference?
>>7680791
I don't understand what you're trying to say here because for one, I don't think drawing a single pose is doing too much at once and two, I am making that pose myself.
Could you explain what you mean? Thanks

what he says
as for the gender, if you like long faces
i would start lookin for how to make feminine long faces because it is very much possible but its offset by other signs that its a female:
see mereolina from black clover, shes not the most feminine facial wise but still has clear indicators of female (except her tits)

When you have a reference to compare your drawing to it's easier for you to see where you've made mistakes. Without a reference, and without a lot of knowledge of the subject or experience drawing it, you won't be able to pick out the mistakes so easily.

Really like the red eyes to show the change in mental state. He's been falling apart for most of the story so I was interested in how you'd characterise him during the torture. There's something a bit ghoulish about him now.
>>7680846
I just meant there's a lot happening within the pose itself. All her limbs and the scythe are crossing and twisting around her body. I'd be surprised if you didn't run into some trouble avoiding it looking broken. But if you feel confident by all means carry on.
>>7680793

I wish you hadn't asked me that, because it's a rabbit hole i've been going down for a while and I feel like I made a breakthrough on a workflow I haven't seen anyone else doing or talking about. I like helping people but I do feel a bit miserly about sharing this, for now at least. What I can tell you though, is it doesn't involve any unusual layer modes and I started experimenting because I'm still on the base version of csp and think digital blending looks like ass.

Not in a hyper good quality, but it's doable. I just don't want to get dependable on that forever though. I recently noticed I'm having some allergic reactions to graphite and I don't want to resupply my ballpoints that much anymore.

It is supposed to be pointed at her throat and thus the leg placement has to be that way too, it's a shrunken up, very particular pose I suppose. Thank for the shoulder, I didn't even realise I didn't connect her left breast in perspective.

I ended up drawing it as if it were facing me, then changing the lines around to flip the perspective and I think it mostly worked

I get the vibe that you're underage and self insert as the twink.
You may or may not have a penis.
That aside I hope you start doing better and get back to drawing more often. Going through a bit of a bleh time myself and it's been a struggle to pick up the pen despite enjoying myself once I do.
Hang in their friend.

>get back to drawing
yeah I haven't stopped yet, I've just been avoiding doing things bc I'm getting really anxious over stuff
>self insert as the twink
yeah one hundred percent lol
I hope you can do better soon too anon, it can be rough going back to things you enjoyed once only for them to feel hollow and bland. makes it tough to keep up with it for sure, I hope you can persevere and at least find some peace whole drawing even if it doesn't go back to what it used to be

Looking back at this now with fresher eyes and i cant believe i didn't recognize how fucking wide i made everything compared to the original image. I could land a plane between Hermione's eyes in mine. I layered the original image over my copy and tried to lasso it together so I can take notes that I will immediately forget about.

sometimes its better to let a piece rest for a bit and come back to it with refreshed eyes and brain. after working a while, there is this tunnelvision which can lead to mistakes. next time, put it away for like 20 minutes and look at it again. taking notes like this is crucial, this way you'll learn. so, good job on the exercise of finding out whats wrong. next time try to find out why it looks wrong just with your eyes and deduce which line an shape is misplaced or missized

We all start somewhere friend and develop at our own paces.
My assumption honestly less to do with your art and more to do with the content of it. Echoes a bit of a pattern I've noticed is all.
But yeah I hope whatevers causing your anxiety blows over and isn't taking too much of a toll.

>poor protagonist, can't seem to help himself but act..
Exactly, he must overrule being in love to comply with the master system. Why can't it be the other way around? Yet, it happens all the time around us and no ones act against injustice. If it is the law, then everyone follows suit.
>i don't think her saying she has rights is going to do very much for her..
Exactly, lol.. The more she exposes her weaknesses or fears the more tools he has to break her and use against her. Just like the legal term "Everything you say can be used against you".

its not that bad, you got the sizes somewhat right. you coped out at the toes, but feet and hads in general arent the easiest, very complicated. the beyblade grill is cute and funny. i didnt even want to attempt that blurry screenshot from the video, even though its not the worst pose to maybe transform into something like a loli with a weapon like a sword and shield or something. someone else might do it!

it's just that being able to draw instantly (without sitting on a chair, connecting the tablet, moving things around...) makes me more inclined to actually draw. for example, i was watching some youtube video on my bed and i only needed to switch window to make that drawing, i wouldn't have drawn if i had to move things around...

Well, that's a journey I'm expecting to unveil myself, it's part of the fun to carve that out page by page. I would spoil even myself trying to explain it.
> [spoiler] After the first class ends, he goes after her and they both have passionate sex.. because of such an intense experience the had in that classroom.. That's when his next transformation phase gets triggered understanding that she's under his absolute control and he is the one who decides what "suffering or pain" actually is for her in that environment where he is the authority figure.. She can only comply because she's legally bound to the whole thing.. but she can also appreciate the way he approaches tormenting her in a non harmful or hateful way.. though still cruel, hard and challenging [/spoiler]

Yeah I saw guangjian Huang doing it in a youtube video so i tried that
Trying to learn the Hampton head process backfired and I started mindlessly copying again, so I switched to what I could find of Ramon Hurtado and Ferhat Edizkan on Pinterest
Now I'm just trying to get down a consistent formula to draw from imagination myself, currently starting with the indent of the brows and then the jutting out of the cheekbones
Definitely less balloon animal-y, but still wonky and inconsistent

Nah, that’s only if the paper is wet. Wet paper -> soft edge. Dry paper -> hard edge. All sorts of factors, but it’s about managing the relationship between how wet your paint, brush, and paper are. This was the first layer. Everything’s soft as the paper was soaked
>>7681553

You're drawing digitally - you can mess up and undo forever. There's no reason to be scared. If you can't figure it out right now you can move on without showing your drawing to anyone.
Use references.

They all suck. Use loomis or some sort of head contruction and dont go so hard with the lines. The lips for example are way too exentuated and need to be more subtle too look less garish

It really depends on who's here. Like the other anon said, sometimes there's people who try to give some criticism to those who didn't get comments. And other times you have the ones who prefer to be more harsh to the ones they think need it most. And then there's those times where the only ones hanging around are schizos or drama-farmers.

its kinda cheating, especially if you overlay it for example. seeing whats wrong is more important, the fixing is just putting in the work, cutting corners there and moving to the next piece isnt the worst thing imo. it does look a whole lot better now! the devils in the details, my lovelies.

Wait, oops, accidentally posted on the last thread. Don't know how to cross-thread. Just going to repeat it.
Hello anons, this is horse bones. I've done more perspective rotations. I struggled a lot. I need to do more box rotations, but I'm moving on for now. Legs were the most difficult part; you can see how inconsistent the bottom half of my figures is. More extreme perspectives were also difficult. I probably don't understand how they look. I think I will take a 3D figure, try to draw it, fix it, and then redraw it. These are from imagination, so it was quite uncomfortable.

I appreciate the praise, but if anything I'm envious of the enthusiasm you always bring to your work. I'm a little too phlegmatic myself, so that kind of passion is something I really admire. Besides that, I like how feminine your faces are. The shapes are simple but they give an ideal suggestion of a pretty face.

The eyebrows are a problem if you're trying to make them look feminine. I think the features are a little too wideset as well. On women the space between the eye and brow tends to be wider and the socket is less deep.

This was the first attempt and it looked very ayy lmao to me, so another anon suggested closer eyes, with the guideline of 1 eye of distance between the two. Should I make it more for female characters? I gotta admit that the distance between the eyes was one of the things I was happy with in

mouth shouldn't be that far from the nose and there shouldn't be that much space from the eyes to the edge of the face, at least not for how close the eyes appear to be to the nose
optional depending on the way you want the character to come across but more roundedness defining the jaw comes off more femininely

some of the sizes arent perfectly proportionate and if you compare upper to lower body from afar, you can see it not matching well. its a really complicated image and i tried my hardest. i'm really proud of some sections though, and i think i want to do more cloth practice in the future, this being my first. i thought i'd struggle with the hands and feet, but i think those also came out okay. next time.

Thanks for this anon; your fix made it look better, yet it still took me like a whole minute holding the original up to the screen to see what exactly you changed. It was just reducing the space between the nose and mouth but nothing else, right? And just to make sure, you basically "compressed" the head, not just moved the nose/mouth closer together? Thanks again.

He had a certain range hard to classify. He tried everything, so he was terrible in some things like faces, and very good in others, like background and scene composition. He stopped just when he started to be creative. and interesting.
For the marked area, are you supposed to think in 3D and imagine that it's following the planes of the head or am I overcomplicating it for myself?

Feel the corner of your own eye- it's set into the head sure but it doesn't turn away from the main face plane. Looking at anime style figures or dolls, the same thing applies- the eyes are on the front plane of the face.

Oh I see why I wasn't seeing it, I was trying to have her tilting her head slightly. To me it didn't look wrong because it was intentional, but I guess it failed since they came across as errors. But I see, I will use this method when I'm trying to make something perfectly centered/not tilting; how does it apply to something like this though? If I want her to be tilting her head, it doesn't really help, right?

NTA but you tilt her head, the head itself remains symetrical (if the character has a symetrical head to begin with). If you tilt, say, a square, it remains a square. Picture the face inside a square. Most people have trouble with those imbalances when drawing front views, myself included. I've found a good way to avoid corrections later on is drawing a center line and sketching the face shape using it as an axis

Pretty much. I guess you can train to draw perfectly symmetrical faces from any angle but it'd be a wasted effort imo considering how easy it is to tilt your canvas/paper

why do some drawings look really wonky and flat when you flip them despite looking fine on the other side? I'm not talking about my art but I flip other peoples art sometimes just to see and most look fine but every now and again when I flip a drawing it looks really strange and flat
do some drawings just not work in another perspective?

What types of pencils are you using? Faber castelles literally never break for me irrespective of the hardness and I sometimes press hard. Just make sure you don't sharpen to a needle point tip and leave them slightly dull at the end. Use a mechanical pencil for fine details.

being good at both is fine, or rather a combination. there is no issue with just scanning ones linework and then coloring it in or adding stuff to it digitally. and with pen and paper, you have to be precise, therefore its better for training purposes. no cheap way out of correcting and avoiding mistakes, whitener or eraser or a complete restart. and its cool to look at your work irl

I find digital forces bad habits on me somehow. I'm way too stiff and scratchy with my lines even though I usually draw with my hand raised off of my tablet and engage my elbow more than my wrist. I also rely on transform and undo way too much since it's so powerful. With trad I not only allow myself to make mistakes, but I enjoy leaving most mistakes as is so I can examine them through self-critique later.
It's a me problem and not a tool problem definitely. I think switching between mediums might be the best approach though to help kill bad habits.

If you compare pictures of men and women, men's brows hang lower and cast a stronger shadow because their skulls have a boney ridge that women don't. When you draw the line of the eyebrow so close to the eye, it can give that impression.
It's stylised, but I drew some stuff that might help you feminise your faces more. Realistic portraits can be more difficult because there's a lot of variety in human faces, but there's specific features you can exaggerate.
Any proposed fixes before I continue?

I never quite understood quick gestures. To me everything below 5 mins is just scribbles. In your case I think you focus a bit too much on contours, which in 3 minutes is very difficult to get right. In such shirt time I'd focus more on ~7 good lines capturing the movement. But as I said: I never quite got it myself. I feel it might be an advanced technique, even though it is common (Proko) to teach it first.
>>7682361
the master graces us with another competent piece. I should study your lineart. Thick lines, thin lines, corners, lost lines,... it all just fits. Can't wait for your next color piece. I made it my goal to get to your level in coloring in 2025 (inspired by the post before New Years of the knight carrying her). Oh, how optimistic I was.

sometimes it just because you saw it that way first, so you are used to it. a couple of times i've seen the flipped version of a painting first, then seeing the original unflipped version looked a bit weird.
you are used to seeing your face in a mirror, if you flipped it to see it how other people see you, it can look strange too.
also because we read let-to-right, we have some biases for compositions that move from the left to the right

Does anyone know of any good resources for drawing the shoulders? It's something I've been struggling with a lot lately, and I can't find any particularly autistic guides or books on how they work and how to build a basic structure.
There's so many moving parts. The deltoid, the clavicles, the neck, the trapezius, the scapula, even the pecs a little bit, and all of them move up and down and forward and back. I swear this shit is harder than hands, and at least with hands there's lots of guides and help because of how notoriously difficult they are.
Any help or pointers to good guides would be appreciated.
so i started this week. heard of proko before so went with him (drawing basics)
1st 2 from sketch from observation project in the line work section
3rd is sketch from imagination project (supposed to be red-winged blackbird
any tips?
also, if i dont want to be overwhelmed with a mass of different sources & stuff, are there other things i should be working on/looking at?

is there more you're not showing us? i find it hard to believe you could draw that from imagination if this is all you've drawn so far
either way you should continue working on observation until you're adequately accurate in a reasonable amount of time

so the imagination project on the proko course is taking multiple different references and making your own thingy.
i used these
also i do plan on doing a lot more observation work!!
proko in just focusing on confident lines & such, but i plan on doing more observation & imagination for like 2 weeks then move onto the next sections
>>7682872
Michael Hampton's shoulder stuff helped me, from his book and CGMA course. The 'football pads' idea. Proko's stuff isn't bad too.
It's a system of bones and muscles that work together, you need to know all the major bones, what muscles connect to them and how they move everything around. Since they float on top of the ribcage, you need to know the ribcage well first. Construct them from scratch, learn them from inside to out until they start making sense. Anatomy tracings like in prokos vids helped me too.

They can move around a lot, the shoulder is our most complex joint. Watch videos of them moving around to understand them. Do it yourself as well. Weight lifting and calisthenics videos are good for that.

A good collection of refs here, reverse search the ones you find more useful to study that artists materials.
https://characterdesignreferences.com/visual-library-1/character-anatomy-shoulder
https://www.pinterest.com/characterdesigh/character-anatomy-shoulder/
3d scans like pic related can help too, since the forms are more clear. This one's from 3dscanstore. 3d models can be useful too because you can turn them around to see it from different angles.
If you need more detail, anatomy books for doctors are really detailed. Ones specifically for surgeons go super in-depth.

i didnt use this one as reference but also, i do photography & ive looked at this photo a lot. i like red-winged blackbirds :3
>>7682892
ah i see. i must have misunderstood what "imagination project" meant because typically drawing from imagination means drawing without any reference on hand. then yeah that makes sense, being able to mix and match between references and make something coherent is a very useful skill in drawing. do you have any particular goal with art, or something you want to be able to draw?

completing proko is subjective. Once you start to feel the desire to create your own things, do it. finishing every last course is up to you, but it’s best to not treat art like a college course, regardless of what crabs here tell you.

When thinking of bottles or glasses, doN't think of them as flat cubes, but rather "buckets" that are see through. It's walls have a thickness to them that are "pure" seethrough and the inner walls are visible due to the liquid inside. The right and left side on that image where the top plane is meeting the front plane is a good example for what i mean.

Permas get upset that others don't start at -1000 like them and then blame it on talent. What they should be blaming is their own retardation. Talent isn't to blame for why you're still having trouble with pre-fundies after five years.

You should also not respond to any negative attention. That includes the self-deprecating ones, they're the worst of the bunch. You'll try to encourage them, but soon they'll start accusing you of tricking them into continuing to fruitlessly draw for 10 years and yadda yadda yadda. It's not worth it.

"Don't put it in your pocket. Otherwise, it will just become another used condom."
the thing that gets me is that I didn't realize people didn't count time spent doodling as how long they spent learning to draw and only counted when they actually formally started trying and that forever fucks up my comprehension of numbers or times things take because I never studied watched a tutorial or attempted to learn in my life until like. a little over a year ago but the idea of saying that's when I started to draw when I drew Garfield porn like once a month for a year is insane to me
>>7683175

I didn't draw whatsoever until my late 20s, even when I was a little kid. If you drew mom and dad in first grade it doesn't count. If you regularly drew throughout your teens, then it should count as experience.

The one advice to follow here is to never fall for the Discord bait. All the drama and regrets happens there when connected with this site. Don't share socials or any information, people will go out of their way to interact with you and ruin your day just for fun. This is a place to break balls, laugh, and grind your art in a safe environment. But this is not a place to socialize with real people.

>>7683256 is absolutely right. it doesnt matter at all. all that matters is that you draw now and keep drawing if you actually want to draw. anything else is just excuses upon excuses to not draw. i feel a lot of the complainers are in just for superficial reasons like making bank or becoming popular, not just to draw because they like drawing and like art.

There are schizos running a harassment campaign against a former poster right now as we speak. They also won't stop talking about a different poster who hasn't been here in a year. Their mistakes were sharing their socials.

obviously all art is subjective but i think in most cases with popular artists considered ugly it's more of a taste thing instead of a lack of fundamentals, if they didn't have fundamentals they wouldn't be able to consistently make whatever it is they're making
that being said i don't think popularity matters that much when it comes to improving since most people only choose to improve at art for themselves

I think you're holding your hand too close to the pencil tip then. Hold it further away when drawing elipses so you can see where to circle back. Or keep practicing the way you do until you get a sense of it.

First they are dirt cheap, and unbreakable. Then you can place the tablet in a comfortable position for you, while you keep your head and body straight and looking forward at your monitor-screen. You don't have to be hunched down on a small uncomfortable dirty screen and with your hand in the way.
I'll admit though, that screenless tablets are not that good of an option for laptops. In that case, better get a good screen tablet.. OR a bigger screen connected to the laptop to make a better use of the screenless one.

yeah, and sorry for my garbled nonesense post, its warm again today in yuropoor, gnaws on my concentration. its definitely the length, i was working on a raven earlier and its almost half if not like 60% of the size of the wings, maybe more. especially when spread out during flight. keep working on it though, its a good effort and as long as you keep drawing you will reach your goal

The true question a man should do to himself is "Should I take courage to draw the hands?"
When it comes to copying from reference, is there any trick to not messing up proportions and measurements? Even when I triple check my sketch to see if it looks different from my reference it still ends up looking different in some way. Specially the face. At this point I already gave up in trying to make everything look exactly the same.
>>7683640
go with the biggest shapes first and pic rel
xerox copying is a dead end path though

I think I drew the woman too close to the man
proportions was challenging bc the actors are wearing things which exaggerate their shapes

by comparing the lines and distances with each other. sometimes its trial and error. here you can see that the hair section on the left is too wide, it should be ending almost where the bangs are. and a human head is always a skull underneath, which can help you with the placing of the items in the right sections. or lets take the glove on the right as an example, instead of drawing it how it is, you rounded it, despite it having a slightly angeled straight line at the bottom where the hand enters.
its just a matter of concentration and constant comparing the lines, the empty spaces, the shadows and that will take some time. you should train your copying and concentration skills on simpler subjects in the beginning before taking on a complicated portrait. hone your eyes and motor skills. and remember the frustration you felt with this, because once you get it right and you notice you did, the sweetness will be all the sweeter. now draw some objects, even around your room. a cup, maybe a bottle perhaps? and take your time.

I *was* doing that. That's what's frustrating about it. Even though I'm kinda used to comparing things to get their proportiosn right I still missed many details. I guess it's just a matter of practice and experience.

nta but I'm on the path of a xerox copying machine. This is my piece for that DTIYS thread for that photoshopped asian girl. I wanted it to be stylized like the other pics in the thread but I ended up basically 1:1 copying the reference except for the face.
I want to make my own orginal drawings so what should I do to break out of this path?

i still improve but it wont be in huge leaps as i first did,
for now i focus on different poses instead of my usual, ''face forward , slight body lean to the left'' shtick
thanks for your input tho, i will get back to the ''bigger drawings''

Since your goal right now is to improve your observation skills, you might want to try different/faster ways of representing shadow, if you must.
A soft, low opacity brush can do that just fine, and quickly. You can also keep high opacity and just pick a light gray.
Pic in the first reply you got is pretty good, don't dismiss it.

Yea I know lol. It was a problem with the way I started the drawing. I started it with the ear/hat area at the top and then did the face and not the other way around, which is why it ended up the way it did
Done maybe? It feels like it's missing something but I can't put my finger on what. Gonna give it a rest and look back with fresh eyes, but would appreciate thoughts and critiques.

Of course, the xerox machine thing is just part of the artistic trolling culture. With that mentality then the traditional Bargue Plates exercise shouldn't exist, or master studies, etc. But there's some truth in it, I don't think that the reproduction of some famous people exact photo is an "art piece" but more like an "performative skill stunt". It depends on the style and final result.

it means copying the lines as they are, like a xerox machine, aiming to just get an exact copy, instead of elevating the reference to new heights by picking and discarding and changing things
Read design and invention or something
How many good artists also know multiple languages? I'm starting to think that learning Japanese and drawing at the same time is hindering my growth in both. Unfortunately I care too much about them to drop either one

I remember seeing a post online somewhere in which an experiment was run where they picked average randos and tried teaching them how to draw portraits from square one. Their first drawings were symbol drawn messes, but after a month they were able to really capture the likeness, some almost exact.
Anyway, you weren't born missing talent you were born missing iq points.

I understand. Mind that you can create the same effect faster, with less lines/work, although more care is needed.
Study artists that are proficient at hatching, like Viktor Kalvachev or Chris Legaspi. Alphonso Dunn's videos and book are quite helpful.

No. The study showed how going through the very same routine and the very same hours some got good way way way faster than others.
This is one of the best examples where the guy made this progress in a week.

right...
It still showed that none of them had to be "born with talent" in order to do well, like the perma thinks. They all still had to be taught from square one. Some were obviously better than others but they all improved.
>>7684010
Talent doesnt mean having all of art beamed into your brain at first. It means learning fast and progressing fast.
Not a single bird can fly at birth but some never learn how to fly.
>>7684010
But you admit that talent is a real thing don't you? I know permabegschizo is using that for comedy, but talent does exist.

The perma thinks you need talent to learn the fundies. That's why we rag on him.
>>7684016
Obviously some are built to do better but it's not the catch-all for, again, simple technical fundies. And you're naive if you believe that some of these guys are just being ironic.

talent is more of a specialization than an inclination towards becoming good at a general subject. some anons have a talent for boobage, some have a talent for portraits, some have a talent for architecture or pop-art. there is no generalization, its special. everyone is good at something. everyone is talented. now shut up and draw something and dont give up till you find your thing.

Thanks, trying to get some ink mileage before October since I've been slacking on my artwork. I wish I could say I drew this with ink initially, but it's definitely a sketch before inking.
>>7684114
Thanks, yeah the feet need some work for sure. I think my biggest problem is slowing down and and really looking at the relationship between anchor points. The fabric folds are definitely a challenge as I kept following a line of a crease then realizing that I'd misjudged it's placement.

yeah, and there is a lot of them, you can easily forget what row you were looking at while drawing. but its a good training either way!

you shouldnt talk about it to anyone really, just use it to your advantage, especially when being creative. i think david lynch said something similar to why he didnt want to go to therapy despite "needing" it.

Personally I came here around April. The rest of the board is basically dead, so I wonder what sparked the boom in /beg/int/. In any case, it's nice to have an active anonymous community you can share your junk with and even nicer if someone cares enough to give a thoughtful critique.

dont beat yourself up.
at least you have the balls to post and try to draw a full body.
a lot of beginners dont even do that.
the best thing you can unironically do is incorporate drawing basic shapes into your drawings.
i wouldnt even focus on specific details like noses and eyes, just focus on getting basic perspective and proportions down before trying to accurately draw real life.

I'm sure this has been asked this, but is it common to skip traditional drawing for digital? I remember seeing somewhere I should practice fundamentals and all that on pencil first, but I imagine the medium is actually just pure preference?
