paige is trolling with her posts here.
she actually make card art for MTG.
also she is a chinese guy.
like and subscribe for more real paige facts.

just showing again sorry

>Alright, time to stop practicing and actually draw something

>Mind goes blank
>Goes back to practicing basic shapes and stuff
How do I escape this loop? Any tips for making OCs?

Download hide's course and did some male female sillouette things

>>7767616
Perhaps you can try referencing other characters from shows you like to get inspiration? nothing is 100% original

>>7767626
what course

>>7767620
so fucking good, what the fuck

>>7767630
This
>>>7764726

Didn't like where this was going, but I might as well post it.

No time to paint. 1 a week if I’m lucky

>>7767616
Think of favorite fetish, design around that.

>>7767616
OCs usually born from histories you create

>>7767626
Im doing the head course. He has me draw the bones. Its very pain
Pic unrelated, just a fig

>>7767632
Ty :)

Another request from a drawthread
>>7767626
>>7767636
hide ch. is one of the yt channels I've been following since the beginning
I might check this course, thanks for sharing

>>7767645
Nice

>>7767584
?

Getting back into drawing after dropping it a while ago. Faces were always my weak point so I want to focus on getting them down. Pic related is the best I’ve done since I started again, any tips besides keep drawing?

>>7767620
holy that's amazing
what did you do to get to this level of skill? what helped you the most?

>>7767573 (OP)
Damn it. I was interested in this general because I'm a beginner who wanted to get better at it to help tell stories and demotivated and wanted some friends but it's mostly just people drawing porn.

work work
>>7767731
Maybe plan/sketch the larger structures before commiting to details? Or using more deliberate, precise strokes. The line surrounding the lips also sticks out, she's a jester so maybe her lipstick meant there was a huge value contrast? It still looks a bit off

>>7767746
what's the problem

>>7767746
You can always just ignore those posts but the majority of the posters here already have cliques on a discord so your mileage may vary

>>7767764
>the majority of the posters here already have cliques on a discord
What??

>>7767746
We can still be friends, if you want anon.

>>7767764
I'm not even 30 yet and I feel like these trends are so foreign to me. Why the hell are people forming Discord cliques, and the artstyles people are obsessed with feel so bizarre.

>>7767759
>>7767782
I have a story to tell and since what I'm working on is focused on the power of experience I figured having things be sight-orientated would both be more popular amongst readers and would let me show things so I don't just have massive paragraphs of words to try to keep things hidden and have the pictures speak well. I've had success with audiences from different cultures but taking it to the professional level means I need to draw good way more consistently.

>>7767777
What’s a clique or what’s a discord? Are you ESL or just retarded?

>>7767783
People are just weird like that

2 hour study. Not devastated, but not particularly happy with it, either.
>I can't into landscapes/texture
Someone please help me, it feels like I spent 70% of my time fighting my brushes to achieve textures that could somewhat work.

>>7767800
I'm just amazed at the fact that there's a parallel discord

Responding to the anons from archived thread
>>7760890 cheaper rice paper does the job for practice the strokes, for actual projects an upgrade in quality is essential, like in watercolor
>>7761206
I got interested into ink because of the difficulty to master, it forces you to commit as its very difficult to hide or correct mistakes.
I started copying the masters (still doing it ) trying to emulate the brushtrokes, repeating many many times . I recommend to start copying the Lingnan school of art as it has many western ideas but still uniquely chinese art in feeling

>>7767805
>2 hours
you could have made 12 studies with more results if you did 10 minute studies instead

>>7767758
Appreciate the critiques. The lips were a pain and I fudged the teeth as well. Pic related is someone online whose level I want to work up to, but I'm not sure how to get there

>>7767818
pyw

>>7767818
It was an arbitrary number that was brought up to me and I decided to give it a shot. Besides, I have issues with committing more time to fully fledged illustrations, so doing this from time to time is beneficial.

>>7767783
Don't take it personally , i know some zoomers are normal but the majority of your generation are fucking retarded gremlins with no social awareness or emotional intelligence, they need constant fake interaction.

IQ decline is a real thing, they are the dumbest generation (so far) and dumb people usually form cliques

>>7767873
So what you are saying is he is already on jap pro level

>>7767900
Thanks, will do. I already have a lot of NSFW sketches I plan on finishing at some point with her and a Big Bad werewolf guy.

>>7767914
i dont want to watch you draw loli porn
stop now, get some help, and draw adult women

>>7767919
I've done that too don't worry. Gotta learn how to draw girls of all shapes and sizes.

>>7767914
i want to watch you draw loli porn
do it, I have a need for cute girls getting railed

>>7767573 (OP)
I love serious girls.

I love serious grils.

>>7767948

>>7767955
No u

>>7767949
It will be elsewhere (not on the main) so you won't have to see it unless you go looking for it.

>>7767954
reminds me of Elsa from the movie Frozen

>>7767914
unbelievable kino glad to know. let me know if you end up making a doujin or something, that would be awesome
>>7767919
i think the character is just a petite adult from what I remember

>>7767965
Ah yeah you are right, I didn't make the connection. My little sister has been watching that movie non-stop this past weekend so I guess the design stick in my subconscious.

>>7767971
haha that's really interesting, it looks decent regardless. you should show it to her, or maybe actually draw Elsa and give her the drawing. I'm sure she'd love that

today marks the beginning of my foot studying journey

>>7768004
You should make a general, I'd join you.

>>7767862
Which pokegirl is this? Looks really good

had to free hand all these circles
getting more rawdogged than fun-anon at this point i feel like

/FSG/

>>7768071
I don’t know if that would be more or less degenerate than the loli general.

>>7768066
Take the funpill
>>7768081
Goated

i dont even like feet but i love it when theyre drawn well

>>7768092
sounds like internal cope

>>7768083
Less degenerate for sure. It's a fetish but at the end of the day you'd just be drawing feet and feet focused images

>>7768081
this is really good anon
>>7768094
they dont do anything for me sexually but i appreciate them and they add a lot to a piece when done well

>>7768097
You are posting in the wrong thread.

>>7768099
i am?

>>7768100
/beg/ and /int/ you are neither sir. What are you doing to yourself. Come now. Go to your proper /pro/ place.

>>7768101
That ain't his drawing li'l bro.

>>7768106
Well I'm just a jackass; I've seen that one other artist drawing cameltoe and assumed that was him.

>>7768101
thats an example of a drawing i like

>he doesn't know yd(orange maru)
Kill yourself you putrid newfag, fuck off and stay off

>>7767862
You're over-referencing 3d models, which makes your posing and art sterile.
You should try to make the gesture more dynamic and the anatomy more organic in order to fix that.
tl;dr You need more mileage in order to internalize these concepts so that you aren't so reliable on refs.

>>7768112
best to stay away from models then?

>>7767626
>>7767680
>>7767684
Thanks. Will try these today.

>>7768116
could just complement them with figure drawing

>>7768110
>he doesn't know (random weeb artist #14,546,001)
You're a faggot, but yes he should have just read the filename and known it wasn't anon's work. But at the same time >>7768097 just randomly posted the image with no context, which makes him a faggot as well.
Basically all 3 of you are faggots.

>>7768121
>no context
maybe if youre retarded

>>7768116
Not really, just don't focus only on observing digital 3d models. Try also doing studies by referencing actual people. Just find body types that are similar to the proportions you're looking for (lean models) and do very quick croquis drawings where you focus more on the dynamicity of the poses. Your stuff is already very good, you just need to make your posing a tad more exaggerated and your anatomy a bit more life-like and organic, so that you don't end up with stiff dolls.

Your art has appeal (nice faces and convincing lines), you just need more mileage imo. You're definitely on the right track.

some anons are just unable a context

>>7768110
Hey. Why don't you just draw? I'm drawing. What's wrong with being a newfag that draws?

>>7767988
Sounds cool but unfortunately I have kept my art hobby in secret from my family. Maybe one day I will have the guts to show them but not today.

>>7767805
well done.
I did an environment study myself once and struggled hard with mountains.

I never studied environments again after that humbling experience.

>>7767805
Best word of advice? Acrylics are WAY faster to do environments with. Doubt that would help, but as an acrylic environmental painter, I noticed that I, too, have a bullshit time painting environments.

>>7768091
Im taking the for fun pill
Hidesama and the countless hours of drawing skulls and circles are paying off in my for fun drawings
Cant wait to ink this

>>7767873
Just like my Japanese mangakas!

I can't wait to draw more yaoi later

>>7767548
Thanks again, I did my own Paintover
very insightful

>>7768140
Will you be sharing with the class?

>>7767910
I think the Internet has just made people retarded and forget how humans have socially evolved. I can't find a single person here with a serious lack of self awareness.

>>7768139
that shitter also used AI. 0 doubts in my mind that the dogshit brazilian copying references loves his art, it has a similar style to his dogshit ""art""

Man everyone in this site is a fucking failure. If you want to get good just stop using it

>>7767910
Not having to look at people's faces most of the time probably does wonders at messing up their ability to understand people and themselves.

>>7768155
>also used AI
Proof?

>>7768155
>If you want to get good just stop using it
I guess that's why you suck then lol ;3
you're here!

>>7767746
It's hard being one of the anons that are genuinely not interested in moeblob waifu bullshit (optional loli) in this thread. But yeah, you can just ignore it and interact with anons that are interested in other things. For instance, I also want to make manga about angst and suffering with little to no (female-based) fanservice.

>>7768155
Not everyone. There are some genuinely fun people stuck in this thread. I wish I could get them onto a different website, but I know that the aforementioned failures are going to come along for the funnies and spout whatever autistic schizophrenic nonsense they do here.

>>7768155
Sorry for not being talented enough to be able to conjure any human body in perfect perspective from any pov however I want. Let some of us shitters use the references we need.
>Dude just study more bro
Fucking priviledged fuck unaware of the plight of the untalented.
Is it a fucking crime to want to draw when you have no talent and need to rely on crutches? Even deerfag needs the stabilizer turned up all the way to 11 to be able to draw.

>>7768165
>>7768163
>Noooo my trumblr hecking wholesome Undertroon donut steel is way more ethic than your anime shit!!!!!!
Fucking subhuman troons thinking you are better than anyone here with your jerking off material.
THIS IS A THREAT SPECIALLY TO THE DEERBITCH

>>7768167
>Is it a fucking crime to want to draw when you have no talent and need to rely on crutches?
Depends on the crutch, I think. Referencing AI? Sure. Referencing models? Sure. Tracing either? Ehh

>>7768168
I'm neither a troon nor into Undertale? My shit's anime too, just isn't focused on women. Holy shit you need to take your pills bro

>>7768168
i love anime moe coom wtf are you on about

>>7767910
It isn't necessarily Zoomers. I mean, technically it is but there's a pretty big factor that's dragging iq down as a whole.
iykyk

I don’t use models for anything but hands

what do we think bros

>>7768168
>deerfag
>le wholesome chungus
Asirpafags.......

>>7768176
There is literally NOTHING wrong with using adjustable 3D models to trace hands on. This is a hill I will die on.

>>7768178
can't wait to see russianon's take on it

>>7768182
>russiano
Not familiar. Is he going to give my power armor suit giant boobs?

>>7768182
cant see anything, but its nice.
But do not understand what are the purple line things on the back and the beam tentacle from the hand

Didnt turn out that great sadly

I'm an absolute beginner and I literally just want to be able to draw my OCs. Is one month enough to learn how to draw decent people?

>>7768213
no

>>7768213
define decent

>>7768219
Like something like this >>7767830
I just want to be able to draw simple humans. That's it.

>>7767805
This is kinda bugging me. Enjoyable picture though, nice mountains

>>7768230
https://e-hentai.org/g/2821132/93dd001819/
it's gonna take longer than a month tho

wip

Doodling and prototyping.

>>7768192
now that you gave the idea he might just do it

>>7768112
Actually no, I've just been perspective form maxing, which seems to be paying off. I'll looking into adding more gesture in these more wacky angles. Thanks for the feedback

>>7768213
It depends if you have talent or not

something of a warmup doodle, perspective is fucked but I had some pics I took when I visited the badlands that I used as a visual guide so it was at least fun to do that

>>7768232
Oh I knew I fumbled that placement lmao. Thank you very much.

Hot take but posemy.art is better than the models in CSP

>>7768293
>using models

Working on a spaceship design for my manga. I know it looks goofy and terrible right now, but I swear it will look good once it's finished ok?

>>7768213
I believe so! You can draw something that is representative of what you want absolutely. But it won't be grandiose, no.
Good luck nonnie!

>>7767738
TY. I think mastering the form, and study anatomy from morpho simplified form helps me the most. Basically you learn to create 3d form in 2d plane, and learn the land mark o the body.

>>7768319
I have a hard time with morpho

>>7768240
Absolutely beautiful!

>>7768213
You can draw their faces decent enough in a month, the whole body? No, too many things to learn, anatomy gesture composition appeal lineart shading tracing coloring if you feel like it etc.

It is not very structural and too eclectic.

>>7768348
That's quitter talk

>>7768354
no?

jumping on the pokemon bandwagon

another before bath drawing
had to resist making it him being told to "pick up that can" lole

>>7768403
I like how bulky it is

>>7768382
>2 layers
impressive. even with simple drawings like >>7767708 i always end up in layer hell. 48 layers including the hidden ones.

>>7768411
I think because I spent a lot of time on pencil and paper, few layers reminds me a bit of trad
also, my adhd brain can't handle multiple layers without messing things up

>>7768403
That's cool, though not what I had in mind hehe.

>>7768427
if i stay on top of organizing the layers, it makes it very easy to create variations of drawings. it's satisfying when i can toggle one layer group and change clothes instantly.

>>7768382
That hair looks awesome man

I CANT FUCKING DRAW

I know it’s cheating but I have so much more fun being models to get the rough beginning started

if I like hard surface in the style of scott robertson, should I just try to follow this book? I hear it's a bit advanced

>>7768456
Its a bunch of retarded niggerbabble pushed by a FUCKING GRIFTER who just generates NFTS nowadays.
Motherfucker didnt even follow his advice since he just traces over 3d models.

Just go through Marshall's lectures or Perspective Made Easy instead of going through that fag's shit.

Does it look weird that her right arm is hidden behind her body?

FUCK FUCK FUCK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

DBT

haven't posted for a while because haven't drawn anything good recently

>>7768178
looks like a warhammer 40k mini

>>7768213
just do it, it's not gonna be perfect, never will be

>>7768460
if it's supposed to be a mid running pose it does look unnatural but for other reasons, like leg/foot tilt. looks more like shes doing lunges

>>7768456
It's definitely not beginner friendly. Watch the first 10-20 hours of Eric Olsen's lecture on perspective instead if you want an indepth but easier start with perspective. Good fucking luck.

>>7768482
Literally me

I made a deal with the devil jimmy
She poses
I draw.

>>7768213
try to draw regularly instead of trying to learn fast

>>7768213
i dont think its impossible per se. i mean, take a look at pewdiepies art progress within a month. i feel like its actually quite impressive how fast he improved. my biggest tip would be to place every line with intention, ask yourself why youre placing it where it is

>>7768501
Pewdiepie, Senseifag, Nihu.
All of them have insane talent that allow them to make exponential growth compared to the permabegs here.
>Muhtime
Even pewdipie says that he barely draws 30mins a day. Senseifag also says that he draws while eating or on the bus while permabegs like Powell can draw 24/7 and still be utter shit

>>7768479
thanks for the reply and very nice drawing anon
did you imagine the pose or used a ref?

>>7768505
ref

>>7767860
what anime is this from?

>>7768503
Pewdiepie here, i draw 2 hours a day actually

>>7768382
I'm going to take a break for now
>>7768448
thanks

>>7767573 (OP)
how can improve?

>>7768518
work on your construction and perspective (the abs and left-hand fingers look especially flat)

UUGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAA

>>7768518
cool piece, ambitious angle, love the colors. But yeah, his left hand looks kinda flat even if it's supposed to be a low-detail area, and his right hand looks as if it's in the wrong perspective, like lower staff+hand looks as if the whole thing is arching towards the back, but the top of the staff is arching towards the camera.

>>7768482
I love giant/shirnking content
do you have more ?

How do I force myself to finish a piece

>>7768543
FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR FUCKING DRAWING. FINIHS IT OR ELSE....

>>7768552
Ruzzziazzzhad. I love you.

>>7768513
that horizontal belly button shit is the ugliest shit ever

>>7768382
what is even the point of your sketch later if your lineart doesn't even follow it

inching out of study hell with a drawing of Rosemon I realilze I need to practice hands, legs, breasts and color lol

>>7768557
the duality of the crab

This is clemwort
He speaks with the bees

>>7768557
Homosexual.

i drew this girl

>>7768513
nice

>>7768561
the point is that the sketch is just a start point
giving a vague idea of the proportion and shape
I'm sure you can understand this and you're not just a drone who copies the sketch without thinking right?

Drafted this up from memory. Prompt is old thick woman cosplaying as evil bitch hag like from those sentai parodies or mahou shoujos. Anyone know what kind of character I am talking about? How to make a military-esque suit that is also slutty?
I think the only example I could pull out was Black General but she isnt old and is instead quite retarded.
I wanted to go for something more dynamic and less stiff looking but I think I fucked up somewhere. I will try to fix it up and continue through the week.
>I think I made the torso too small.
>Dont know how to draw or connect the motherfucking head.
>Want to go for a more detailed face like that bitch from Reincarnation Colosseum (Zayd) her fucking face and cowtits make me see red.
>I love when the thighs have pronounced quad muscles instead of just a fat ellipse
>Hand needs to be way way fucking bigger to sell the foreshortening.
>Character is a hag so the breasts need to be big and saggy.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>7768382
I love you frenchie. I made up 3 hard brushes with 5px,10px and 15px and will try it later.

I also noticed that I cant rotate shapes for shit and that I struggled a lot trying to construct the figure from imagination. g*d cursed me being permabeg

>>7768573
Damn. Even your sketch looks so good and readable while being a fucking mess.
Even the fucking lines flow nicely.
Suicidepill out of ten.

>>7768575
looking promising bro
keep going

>>7768573
nta but i definitely just copy the sketch, which is why i spend a ton of time polishing the sketch turd before doing lineart. i'll have to try being more loose with it.

Coloring progress. I'll probably finish it tomorrow. Its kind of fucked up looking
>>7768573
cute jeanne alter

>>7768573
i ask as a beg, what do you look for when you make a copy study and did you learn anything in particular from that doujin cover?

this is the only okay thing i’ve ever drawn and it took me ~8? hours to do and it’s still shit. i fucking hate this shit man. i don’t even want to be drawing this stuff, i want to be drawing characters and people and anatomy and whatever but god i suck so bad at thatttttttt.
it’s like this awful cycle where i want to draw people and stuff, so i try to do that and it turns out shit and i hate it and it sucks the fun out of drawing. then i try to learn the basics/fundamentals so i can better draw characters and i do learn more-ish but i can never manage to apply it to my actual drawings cuz i’m still super shit, plus it’s just a huge chore and sucks the fun right out of drawing too. so i try to draw people-shaped things again and, nope.
does it ever get better? i want to quit.

anyone have some godlike resources or exercises for learning figure drawing + gesture?

>>7768611
these are some of the “people” i’ve drawn. each individual one took me 30mins, i’m not even joking. i take too long to draw nothing because if it doesn’t look good enough then i hate it and don’t enjoy it. idk how to get over it because that’s kinda baked into my personality and entire existence. i really really want to be able to draw well but idk how to stay motivated when this is the slop i produce. “just enjoy the journey” i can’t.

>>7768623

And a finished drawing i made using an old 3d render of mine as a reference (i still dont know how to paint and i dont have ink )

>>7768668
And another drawing i made using a random rule34 image as reference.

>>7768635
Cute. I hope to see more of your stuff

>>7768575
I just realized that the proportions I subconsciously drew are fucking retarded.
I append proof of the artist that has brainrotted me @eu03.

doing these copies is fun but useless

>>7768653
you probably have horrible taste so no

>>7768605
with neat and orderly lineart like this you should absolutely try to use it as alpha mask and color it

>>7768135
Traditional art scares me, though acrylics do look fun. The tradeoff for being able to achieve certain looks more naturally may just be worth the stress of physical paint.

Do you have any input on other forms of trad painting? I was considering gouache, and I'd like to try oil when I'm better.

>>7768569
uoh, but head oversized

>>7768716
Hey nice stuff anon, can you reccomend me source that teach this shape design. I mean your anatomy is stylized in really apealing way, fingers also. I know anatomy but i would love to draw it so nice.

Today I drew rectangles because I couldnt draw an Uzi that looked good, and a baseball player I messed up while inking

lilith <3

cheap tricks

>>7768754
these are just copies of emilio dekure, not my own stylization. he draws very expressive and readable figures in my eyes. great for learning, or so I suppose. you can check out his tutorials on youtube, he's one of the few who actually gives practical advice

>>7768668

Frothing at the mouth at the sight of these.
You're on a really good road, I'm jealous.

The site doesn't let me (You) all your drawings because it thinks I'm a mass reply spammer, so count this as 5 (You)s.

I hope I get banned for this, i have a test tomorrow and I keep drawing stupid shit instead of studying.

Btw, since I'm getting banned anyway I will say it, I actually admire the work of janitors and how they try to keep the place clean for free. Can you imagine the shithole this would be without them? I think they are cool, I just like to bully them because is how I show affection sometimes.

Heeelp.

Wtf is wrong with me? When I try my best I make aberrations like the one on the left, while if I put more effort there results are the others stuff in the page....

I know it's still prebeg stuff but I'm getting crazy over it. The stuff I put 1 hour into looks worst than the 5 minutes stuff.

>>7768817
dude, Incredibly appealing rendering style you've got

Working on making easy backgrounds with my lack of background knowledge
Gotta fix those big ol hands while keeping my style...
will update with whatever I end up experimenting with on the bg of this

>>7768845
Thanks. some anon on /salt/ game some tips, plus I've been doing my own thing. trying and experimenting. I think still like some polish in a few parts. I need to get better at redering backgrounds with it too. The best part in my opinion is that it looks good and is pretty quick, so I can probably even use for comics if I can have a better range for drawing other things than girls.

>>7768849
godspeed

>>7768807
Thank you anon, is there something you think i really have to work on, like a very big problem my drawings have?

>>7768839
You gotta learn the loomis head and draw a lot of faces.

>>7768853
I'm pretty fast.

>>7768851
haven't seen you post in a while. good stuff

>>7768847
This is the worst background ever I am actually not going to post it, that was not very successful
going back to white boxes for now and going to try some bg studies... I have a hard time finding tutorials on how to draw simple rooms which is kind of what I want my backgrounds to head towards

>>7768851
>>7768794
Errrm

>>7768839
It's your observation skill. Your references are a step too high for you to climb it seems. I'm assuming they are photographs in color you find on the internet. It's just too much uncharted territory your brain has to do. The color is causing you friction to correctly assess the values, you having to recognize the shapes is causing you friction, you having to translate the shapes and abstrahize them into lines is causing you friction.

I suggest you do master studies and use pencil portraits from skilled (no hyper realistic) artists as reference, they already did all of the heavy lifting of abstracting and simplifying and you get to learn at a level you can handle. Try to go for achievable references first and climb upwards from there.

Does anyone know of other artists with this face style?

>>7768853
nice as always
>>7768817
she looks like a flat adult to me so hopefully you don't get banned. really nice style and rendering..
>>7768781
Cute as always. lovely proportions
>>7768513
Nice. cute tummy

doesnt "godspeed" mean "good luck" in english

>>7768857
Done that

>>7768552
Gun blends in with the upper cannister.

>>7768890
either that or "gods peed", which you say after it's rained

>>7768871
Very useful feedback. Do you have any suggestions? I was indeed using random photos as reference do I think you may be really up on something.

>>7768890
what... am I wrong to wish a promising artist good luck...

>>7768897
old masters from the renaissance era usually have a plethora of pencil sketches. pic rel is da vinci f.e.
other than that the net is filled with pencil studies of celebrities and other prominent people, like elvis presley or marilyn monroe. Having acces to the original reference also lets you compare and understand the transformation from photo picture to drawing better.

>>7768935
Those skulls look good, nice job.

>>7768920
if someone needs some refs for this I have some Pinterest boards full of classical sketches

>>7768924
Isn't that bar set a bit too high lol

>>7768959
>still too high
okay trace it then it's okay if you only get the major lines right and not the shading
afterwards use both the original reference and your tracing as a reference and draw it again freehand.

you drew the line while tracing therefore it is within your means to draw the line you traced freehand. your goal is to get 80% there. Also it's okay to just do an area of the drawing if the whole thing is too much

>>7768856
Sadly I have little to say since my skill level is too low to appraise them fully, I just wanted to commend you.

I miss when these threads had a challenge.
I miss when these threads had a thoughtful collection of drawings of the previous thread.

>>7768981
That was just 2 weeks ago

i think hand and face detail is holding you back a lot

Can somebody please post the powerlevel image? I need to know if im still beg

>>7768513
Can I see your sketch

still can't get it
this is torture

>>7769008
Just found the image, i think im high beg?? Maybe low int but thats for an anon to decide

>>7769016
Forgot to post the image.

>>7769008
if you have to ask, you are beg

think I got it
retooled a previous drawing, I think this is a good final version
he looks tall but not ayylmao tier

I draw fantasy maps. What does /ic/ think?

>>7769021
I think im still high beg because i dont know how to shade that well, is the only thing i need to improve, that and maybe drawing more backgrounds, well now i know what to do!

>>7769015
Legs should be half the length of the body for normal proportions

>>7769049
this seems... wrong...

Why does all turns out like this?

I recently got into a small local art contest. Among 100+ people who voted there wasn't a single person who liked my art. The second to last place got like 8 votes btw. It's kind of an achievement in on itself, huh. I didn't even draw anything repulsive or out-right ugly or any coomer shit or anything like that. There were prebeg works who placed higher. The kind of prebeg if you saw on /ic/ you'd think a person drew it horribly on purpose just to troll. I sincerely drew something I cared for and put a lot of work and not a single human being was touched by it. I think I just lack soul, I am fundamentally less human than others, that's why nothing I draw ever connects with anyone. I am soulles. No studies will ever fix that.

>>7769057
I guess im esling

Basically leg height should be equal to head + torso. Ofc you can fuck around with that and have it looks fine, for exemple sexy girls are often drawn with longers legs. Just look at tall characters or picture of irl people and try to find a leg to body ratio that you like.

>>7768974
Nonsense!!! Never, ever trace. Only people without talent trace. You will never be a true artist if you trace.

>>7769080
Those people probably got friends and family to vote for them. Post your drawing.

I just wanna give her all the cute clothes

>>7768853
these are always so cool

>>7769082
I'm sure you are just being tongue in cheek, but this pathological aversion to tracing during a study for complete prebegs is legit hindering their progress. The whole point of tracing is basically to get them to understand how and why the lines are placed like that by the original artist which just doesn't compute at all with some people when they merely side by side copy instead of trace the study at first.

>>7768895
But will making the gun read better make the image more interesting?

>>7768503
Wasn't Pewdiepie just copying stuff?

>>7769097
They should develop observational skills. Tracing is going to fuck them up hard in the long run. They should give up if they can't develop their observational skills or just become specialized artists. I developed observational skills as a kid because I hated tracing(not because it was wrong but because it felt like I was cheating myself). Am sure most actual artists can relate.

How long have you anons been drawing for

first time practicing perspective, i made boxes yippee. they look wonky :( i struggle with the 22.5° an 62.5° ones at an angle quite a bit. does getting it right just come down to doing it over and over again? or is that the wrong approach?

>>7769148
A year actively.

>>7769148
Coming up on 4 months of serious, daily drawing tomorrow

>>7769148
A year off and on

>>7769148
Since August, but barely have a few studies done so it might as well be a week. Hasn't been easy to achieve consistency for me.

>>7769148
I started (for real) in 2020 but I've been drawing off and on since I was a kid (and by that I mean I'd draw something once every few years)

when I started 5 years ago I didn't bother learning my fundies or anything and I only have the energy to draw something once every few months

>>7769148
Seriously and been drawing everyday would be since late September this year. I tried for a few weeks last year and stopped. I didn't have the fervor I have now .

>>7769178
The fervor comes and goes for me

>>7768879
Holy beg

a couple of quick before bath doodles

>>7769148
Started drawing back in 2016/17. Pause between 2020-2023, been drawing everyday for a little over a year now I think. Most of my improvement has happened in the recent year when I started taking this seriously.

>>7768853
Cool. Draw more comics peril

>>7769178
Oops, I mean late July, just checked one of my sketches

Almost 900 hours since the middle of december

Is there any way to force motivation or enthusiasm? I'm clinically depressed (actually diagnosed), tried multiple meds and they unfortunately don't do shit. I was hoping that actually getting myself to do something creative would somehow help me break through the slump, and I've always found drawing cool even if I couldn't stick to it myself, but I just don't know what to draw. It'd be cool to have some projects to work towards. But I also don't know how I'm even supposed to get through the initial "everything sucks" stages when I'm like this, and just grinding fundies without any goals made me burn out multiple times.

>>7769304
I've been through the same thing, you have to literally force yourself to start, motivation is not something you GET, it's something you MAKE.
In the immortal words of AVGN:
The only way to do it, is to fuckin do it.

>>7769303
Nice

>>7769308
what does it look like when you draw men?

stiff competition today.
Us /beg/ sketchlets will look even worse than usual.
Even worse: I tried drawing a horse today. Back to square one!
Worse than that: 4 months ago I drew a better one.

How did you improve so fast anons

>>7769148
started in 2022, mostly been focused on studying other stuff and looking for a better job so i haven't drawn that much this year. trying to get back into a sustainable practice routine

>>7769304
Discipline comes first, motivation will come later, so get a routine and stick to it. I've struggled with mental health problems, including clinical depression, and while the path that I took to where I am now is definitely not one I'd recommend to anyone I can say that having a consistent routine will help a lot. Motivation without action is just wishful thinking, though reframing the way you think about things will help too

>>7769322
Its awkward but he draws cool spaceships and sexy long girl legs so its okey :)

>>7769304
just have it be a routine

how do I get mindless zombie drone fans to praise everything I do and defend me over every shitty thing I say and do like the coomer fans itt? is it really as simple as drawing off model slop with fat african tits?

that's a he, wtf pls don't misgender him he's autistic

in hindsight this one >>7769097 is a bit subpar, pose is stiff from the waist down and the legs are fucked

>>7769148
genuinely with the aim to git gud? a bit over a year. But always had a phase here and there every few years where I drew a bit, but never as much as now.

>>7769403
reject coom return to cute

>>7768605
Redid some of the shading and am happier with it now. Back to studying!
>>7769452
I like the eyes, its a neat look with the heavier brush

on and off for years just doodling, but took it up seriously actually exactly a year ago

You're allowed to make the next thread and put up an image of your choosing.

finally got going again and started on nr 3 (3 hours), Acrylic 70x150cm for the trio, still WIP

>>7769459
Looking good keep it up, I think if you keep practicing your work will be really good

>>7769503
Thank you, I’ll continue practicing

>>7768569
do you ever draw something else? genuine question because I feel like it's always the same girl in a cowboy shot same pose no colors

>>7769459
it is kind of professional work. nicely done

Had "reverse bunny maid" as an idea and came up with some utter bullshit

>>7769452
Super cute but what ate those titties? Needs 5x the size minimum
>>7769459
Ngl beautiful but the lack of massive titties ruins it
>>7769473
Who wants to see this? Hands? Where are the tits?

>>7769339
The problem I have is that simply grinding lines/figures/boxed is mind-numbing and not in a good way. But I know it is necessary, since when simply trying to draw something I'm remotely interested in (which is usually video game characters, I know, I'm addicted) has the resulting drawing making me retch from just how fundamentally bad it is. I've heard multiple times that having a project to work on is really helpful with restructuring towards a growth mindset and incremental improvement (draw, identify flaws, do dedicated studies instead of vague fundies). But I don't know what would constitute a good project (sufficiently challenging but not so hard as to be discouraging) at such an incredibly early stage and low skill.

>>7769643
>posted in an AI Thread
do they know?

>>7769007
I do agree that hands and faces are often the focal points of a drawing. I've seen much artwork where the overall anatomy was lackluster, but the well-drawn hands/head evelated the appeal. at the same time, I think the corrections you've made only improve the figure marginally. we're not seeing the forest for the trees. there's something more fundamental my drawings are missing. I can only hope that one day a stray /int/ gives me the breakthrough advice I need, or whispers a sleeper agent code word into my ear that will unlock my innate drawing ability
>>7769187
how did you mistake me for peril, our drawings look nothing alike

>>7768213
one year would already be a very strong tempo. Better try 2-3, though to get "decent". But this requires daily commitment.

>5 and above
permabeg. Consider roping.

>>7769647
Yeah I think the project stuff you describe might be the way to go.

When I started trying to learn fundamentals seriously back in August I didn't think of doing anything in particular when trying to learn perspective, but after hearing a certain tip in a video about it and doing a study on a manga panel I liked then it kinda clicked and became fun. I'm sure you'd have to do the same for lines/figures/boxes, find some artwork with those specific elements that you like and learn from them.

I am NGMI

>>7768938
nta but i'm interested

How much longer do I need to draw for until I'm finally good? This is very frustrating

>>7769148
since 2017but I've made probably less than 15 pieces

>>7769693
you're drawing clothed figures before you've learned the body itself

>>7769693
judging by this skill level, at least another year or two

>>7769693
A lot longer, even then you'll never really be satisfied. But that's part of the charm too.

>>7769693
when did you draw the girl sitting? that was a thread challenge like months ago

>>7769713
*part of the torture

>>7769709
I think I can draw the body okay
>>7769711
>>7769713
Brvtal, so I must grind even more for increasingly little return? I don't feel I have the same vitality as when I started 5 years ago in my late teens. Maybe I am too low IQ/derive too little dopamine from drawing/not genetically built for it.
>>7769715
A couple days ago

>>7769669
Any tips for dedication and discipline? I want to start at least doodling regularly to get used to the act of drawing without any expectations, but I don't know how to make it easier for myself to get into the groove so to speak.

>>7769738
count down from 5 and just do it

Man the idea of drawing anatomy is BORING finding good reference sucks, do i just draw bridgman like the meme says?

>>7769744
Yes. Don't forget to do it twice, too. Maybe a third time to be sure.

>>7769744
studying is really boring, i do like 1 or 2 videos a day from a video course and draw long with them. then i do a for fun drawing. look at the video course general theres some good stuff in there. currently doing hidechannels courses.
copying bridgman is mostly a meme at this point i think, also i dont think copying will learn you much besides train your observation.

>>7769738
>Any tips for dedication and discipline?
None at all since I don't have any, It's been 2 fuckin week since I had a subject I wanted to do, got a lot of free time to blame it on a tight schedule too.

If I don't actively work to find compelling drawings to study from I end up doodling circles or doing pointless shading lines.

>>7769652
have you tried drawing with a different brush

Sketch
Should I work more on this or would I be polishing a turd?

>>7769765
it ain't a turd, king

>>7769763
I have a rather complicated answer to this question.
1) I've already committed to using this brush. I believe it's possible to make good drawings regardless of the tools one uses. I myself don't quite like the brush I'm working with, but I feel like if I master this one, adapting any other brush would be easier.
2) I'm aware that the lack of line weight is holding my drawings back a lot. the reason I still keep it off is twofold. I've seen other artists pull it off. I can't understand line weight. I managed without it for so long, I got used to uniform lines, and picking a more dynamic brush sets me two steps back. it's very demotivating. it's hard for me to control pressure too.
3) drawing apps have hundreds of brushes to choose from, and a hundred ways to edit them. I get decision fatigue. how does one choose their brushes? how do I know when\where to use, say, 'pencil-2H' \ 'watercolor-dry-smudge-2' \ 'coarse-bulk-3'? I don't even know what half of the brush settings do, even after tinkering with them.

tl;dr I'm autistic

>>7769652
your figures are good, the poses are dynamic and interesting. The camera angle however is meh, your camera angle can come from any point in 3d space not just face height pov

>>7769775
thanks. I plan to tackle interesting angles once I'm comfortable drawing in flat perspective

>>7769774
>it's possible to make good drawings regardless of the tools one uses
this doesn't say much.

>>7769747
Any other recommendations on courses

>>7769774
I am also this autistic and I hate switching brushes, so what I did is copy the same brush but at set pixel thicknesses, and just label them as Comic Brush (12px) Comic Brush (20px) Comic Brush (32px) so it helps me keep the same brush but add versatility to my lines

>>7769787
by that I mean, it's possible to make a good drawing with just the basic brush I use
>>7769791
that's neat. how do you decide when to use a thicker/thinner brush? can you post something of yours? I'm interested

>>7769788
for absolute beginners on anatomy/gesture/etc, vilppu. understanding real human bodies before drawing stylized ones its good. i havent done much courses, besides vilppu this is my second one, so i cant help you more than this

>>7768974
I gave it a first try it's a lot harder than it looks. I tried in kind of different ways of drawing, I think

>>7769788
>>7769796
if you're a beg, don't start with vilppu. his linework is too messy to read/study from, and he likes to babble on about esoterics like 'feeling the form' which is hard for a beginner to grasp (unless talented)

>>7769801
>talent
disregarded

>>7769804
pyw talentbro

>>7768974

>>7769801
This is true btw. Vilppu is not for /beg/
>>7769806
Post your Vilppu figures if you have them LOL. (Spoiler) You don't have any :)

>>7769816
Yeah just wanted to post the guy feeling the (form) tummy

Most people on this board like to meme about Vilppu, but no one actually learn shit from him.

This is the truth btw.

>>7769806
this is so ugly FUCK what a fucking hack

That screen shot is from his video about the oval form. I know because I actually try to learn from him. I spent 3 year on this board and have never seen a Vilppu figure.

im sorry for sparking this discussion on vilppu, i did his video course before i did anything else a couple years back, it helped me drawing gesture/figgies as an absolute beg without getting into construction and other things like that much. i dindt mean to spark a discussion
i do now use construction and dont use vilppu that much anymore, id post my old figgies if i still had them but my old pc broke so i dont.

Vippu is a bad teacher.

>>7769840
This has nothing to do with Vilppu. The fig is stiff as fuck, no flow at all.

doddled this please be nice

>>7769843
i know i wasnt posting vilppu, if you read my post you would know i lost my vilppu figgies when my old computer broke down. they were not good by any means
this is an old fig from when i started using construction, just wanted to post something

So I’ve heard that if you really want to study Ana trust you should copy their workflow. What if I can’t get any info on that? Are there any tells that might hint at what their flow might be

>>7769852
I want to say that you didn't learn anything from him. That's all.

>>7769855
i just started drawing when i watched him, so yes i did learn from him, but nothing another course couldnt have taught me. my overall experience with the course was that it was easy to replicate without getting into lots of theory and having to perfectly draw boxes in perspective which made it easier to follow.

VIPPU BAD

>>7769833
if you can't appreciate this you're ngmi

>>7769854
artist I mean.

Here's what I'm talking about. I really like the left picture. On the right are some of his other drawings that seem a lot rougher and maybe more painterly. The lines are less clean thats for sure. Any thoughts? The leftmost picture has one of my favorite bodies ever

>>7769870
if you appreciate this youre dunning kruger personalized

>>7769884
>not being able to appreciate flow and form
Enjoy drawing stiff ugly drawings forever

>>7769888
you can have perfect flow and form and the drawing is still shit, thats why youre dunning kruger, youre at level 5/100 and you think 10/100 is the top

>>7769890
post your art or everything you say is meaningless nigga

>>7769833
squishy...

>>7769820
Yes, true. Must focus on this

>>7769695
How

I was filtered hard by Vilppu sensei when I tried following his book but I want to get back to it, especially considering how amazing his tone by cross countouring, i.e. using only lines, is

What do you guys think?

I kinda don't like it now that i see on my screen but i liked when i saw it on paper, go figure.

more doodle

>>7769937
kinda sus

>>7769851
I think it's nice, the left eye of the leftmost character (not the bear) stands out in a not great way

>>7769944
Why sus?

>>7769937
>What do you guys think?
I think I like the face and the hair, you got sloppy drawing the collar of her clothes

>>7769955
reminds me of Alice in wonderland

>>7769854
>>7769871
You're basically just guessing unless they actually post videos or pictures showing their workflow

>>7769962
Yeah i agree, clothes are my enemy. I was thinking about re-doing that. Do you guys know a good guide for those?
>>7769963
Do you think it looks similar to the Lewis Caroll original drawings? or the John Tenniel ones?

>>7769967
Ok thanks. Thought so but didn’t know if there was a better way to guess

>>7769638
What should I do to fix it?

Its all so tiresome bros
Why keep going

>>7770008
Ugly art makes pretty art stand out, don't give up!!!

>>7770008
because it's fun
I'll prob never be good because I have no will to study
but drawing scratches a very nice itch

>>7770008
Learn to persevere through the struggle like PBS.
No talent and all struggle but he refuses to give up while talentedfags like birdbitch, milffag and that other Polish nigger stopped drawing.

>>7770025
milffag regressed, he was never talented in the first place

>>7769871
i'd say it's the common method of sketch - > lineart (optional) - > masking - > rendering - > overpaint (hair strands and details). whether they paint light or shadow probably depends. the leftmost one is just more refined than the others and includes the lineart step

>>7770025
>Learn like PBS
What did he learn?

>>7770033
thanks

>>7770032
Nta, can you post anything by him? I don't think I ever knew his work

>>7769360
relatable, I also did it on regular to see if it was good for something (good paper is expensive)
and it was kinda attrocious , maybe for fast sketches if you dont mind the warping

>>7769669
nice, we need more nihei around here

What can I fix on the sketch before moving to lineart? I need some critique, please.

>>7770054
Arm farthest away looks like it's missing a line that was on the lighter sketch, hand needs more volume (bent finger segements are missing...) part between closest arm and coat needs clarification...

What the fuck is with the obsession with "workflow"? What is that? Like sketch composition to lineart? I keep seeing it.

>>7770058
yeah it's just the process, depending on the type of art you want to make you might choose one over another

Is the hand too big?

Any other problems?

Getting marginally better at values. I’m starting simple and yeah I’m aware I probably should’ve drawn proportions on the face better before doing the values but oh well. Anyone got any tips?

>>7770065
its too big

>>7770065
Ribcage line might be too pronounced if you're gonna have that amount of fat on the chest methinks. Right eye feels to far away since the head is angled slightly off-center. Think about the bridge of the nose and the part you rub when your allergies are kicking your ass. Depending on what your preferred style is, the neck could be too thin. The collar bone has to attack to the top of the shoulder, so you should angle the unconnected right-most line a bit downwards... Left arm could be too long; the elbow should come to be at the same length as the bottom of the ribcage? Hard to explain, but our range of motion is a circle...

>>7770082
For nipple line, though this is for males...

>>7770080
>>7770082

>>7770082
What I mean by our range of motion is a circle.. It's a sphere but basically this but everywhere.

>>7770065
Chest looks wrong

boobs too big

pp too smoll

>>7770112
bad redlne

>>7770094
Is this a real thing ? perspective boxes is the only thing I can see is useful to practice

>>7770120
didnt mean to redline it just made it a dude

>>7770054
???

>>7770133
Eeeh

>>7770137
I tried.

>>7770133
>>7770057
tried to fix some of the issues, not sure if I did too good, I'll finish the lineart and then post it again here, so it's easier to tell if it's just the sketch being shit or me being shit

>>7770145
ayrt Yes that looks much better anon I love your lineart slurp slurp

>>7770123
it's performance art

>>7770155
thankss anon you can eat all my art, I don't mind. This is my first time using this pen for lineart, usually I use something more bold, makes my stuff more cartoony like >>7769851

Did I fuck anything up in the lineart? I think it looks okayish, dont really want to spend 20+ hours on it tho

>>7770174
The dynamic variation of thin and thick lines should be used in more places, but at the moment it's definitely a good start!

>>7770189
>>>/asg/

i can only draw well in retarded perspective and its stopping me from drawing anything else
how do i fix this issue

>>7770195
Draw three pages of normal perspective figures obviously. Tackle what you draw poorly with gusto to learn it.

>>7770201
Ive done that plenty of times and they all turn out bad

>>7770202
Keep doing it until they don't turn out bad. That's how people learn everything!

>>7770195
Are you drawing those from imagination?

Has anyone else just lost all their desire to play video games? I wanted to boot up Persona 5 but I didnt even open steam, any desire to play games is just replaced with drawing now.

>>7770213
came out pretty cool nonnie

>>7768513
after looking again with fresh eyes, I decided to change the face to something somewhat cuter
>>7768666
that's pretty nice bro
I wish I was good with colors

>>7770225
Happens sometimes. Some games inspire me to draw, like visual novels. They'll describe a scene I'm surprised isn't illustrated and I'll want to draw it. Pokemon Legends ZA makes me wanna draw REAL bad.

>>7770236
>Pokemon Legends ZA makes me wanna draw REAL bad
You mean you like to draw loli's, predictable but I don't condem your choices.

>>7770232
original face was better

>>7770241
I don't think so

>>7770238
What
Dude I draw muscular DBZ characters and men being tied up in bondage. I'm looking more at Ivor than lolis. The fuck are you smoking

>>7770225
Yeah, I still play games and actually is playing through P5R rn but I can only get myself to play games at night after drawing all day. At the same time games like Disco Elysium, Expedition 33 and so many more are beatiful experiences and inspires me so I still play games. But drawing is still #1 priority because I enjoy it.

>>7770246
samefag That guy must've assumed I was the one that drew Canari. I'm not, and I think she' a huge bitch. Wouldn't ever draw.

For me it's the pokeboys, I should draw Allister or Kieran one of these days

Another trad drawing. Getting a little better at it i think. Might need to buy some ink cuz pens are cringe for blacking out stuff
>>7770215
I wish. Drawing from ref

>>7770253
PLEASE draw Kieran. Fanart of him is like crack to me.

>>7770244
Why are all of the nu-pokemon girls so shit tier

>>7770269
best in thread

>>7767573 (OP)
Question, does drawing while lying in bed or even drawing with a sketchbook in my lap affect my ability to draw well or even practice/improve the way I draw?
I ask this because I've been bedridden from getting injured from sports and I am wondering if drawing in bed will be a positive or if I should forget about it because it's an overall negative.

>>7770273
idk
Sabrina and May are my favorites anyway

>>7770051
Thanks. One of these days I'm hoping to sit my ass down and just draw the panels, maybe I could extract some of the construction worker's magic.

>>7769669
>but after hearing a certain tip in a video about it
Which video was it?

need advice with the the gold hand, basically, the original illustration of the character has a robotic hand, but it wasn't that detailed so I had to just make something up. I think I fucked up the shinyness of it, maybe it doesn't look robotic enough, as I said, I've never drawn a hand like this before

weee

>>7770300
Well I don't think it's a mind blowing tip so I didn't bother elaborating, but it was about imagining the piece of paper is a window and to think of the shapes you're drawing as something you could actually see existing.

I think now it might be so obvious, but I guess it helped because prior to that seeing an empty white page felt bad and I was drawing boxes at random with zero thought behind them. I think it was brokendraw on Youtube, can't remember exactly which video.

couldn't finish

>>7770188
Sweet

>>7770188
amazing

This is what I did today.
Do u rike it?

Finished the drawing, finally. I had to compress it soooo much because the original size export is somehow 24 mb

>>7768485
software?

>>7770305
How can I make this less muddy

>>7770364
find an image of a less muddy
make this more like it

>>7770386
Me when I eat a pool-noodle

>>7769669
This is really good. Man I love Blame. A massive inspiration, even if it makes me depressed to realise that realistically I'll never draw anything even close to it.

>>7769006
>>7769685
https://pin.it/102xeASYS
https://pin.it/3WrcccLEL
very sorry that it's not neatly organized, but there's a lot of classical sketches and art in here. go wild

>>7770393
Yeah Blame's art is amazing. The original panel still mogs my 2 hour shit hard, I failed to "see" the gradient and it makes my study appear way too bright, the large pipe is also deprived of its brightness because of it.

Never attempted a study about backgrounds before because I couldn't grasp perspective it at all, and this one turned out ok but it was rushed due to excitement.
