i only managed 20 last thread before spooktober got in the way. i shall try harder this time and looking at it logically, its ONLY like 3 figs a day till the thread dies considering how long they stay up. entirely manageable for any skill level.

ganbatte.

1/100 - i forgot what time it was, i would have just penciled the whole fucking drawing for another 2 hours.

#1 first figgy in a month almost, could've gone worse.

>>7784596
looking very good as usual, very inspirational. sometimes you loose yourself in the drawing or rather in the zone.

Where do i get 100 nude girls to pose for me?

>>7784620
How smelly is a live figure drawing lesson?
Can you smell the model's fishy puss?
Or is it overwhelmed by the stench of reclusive artist's BO?

>>7784565 (OP)
Where do you get hot chicks that lie down for you naked in sneakers?

>>7784671
>Where do you get hot chicks that lie down for you naked in sneakers?
I just approach girls on the streets.

>>7784596
i remember you were big on ink for a long time, what made you want to focus on pencil?

2 i was struggling with a little, but the perspective was unusual, and i think it came out okay. the hand and arm might be a bit short, but i ran out of paperspace there. 3 i'm more satisfied with, but the pose was very simple. i really enjoy hakamas design and their purpose of obfuscating leg and feet positions for fighting purposes. i think i will draw from more kendo/kenjutsu and aikido references

1/100
h e a v y

>>7784783
sports references are really fun. very wild at times. you couldve made the legs a lot stronger, they look almost comical in the reference picture, like out of a popeye cartoon! imagine that lady crushing your head with her thighs haha

>>7784662
seek professional help

>>7784788
I enjoyed how well the pose portrayed the weight being held, I think I will seek out more sports references. Good eye on the legs- the detail could definitely be pushed more
>imagine that lady crushing your head with her thighs haha
sure thing

>>7784801
a death worthy dying to/for. you'd probably be mentioned in the history books as well

>>7784779
>kendo/kenjutsu and aikido references
Where do you find these? Videos?

>>7784860
yandex, pinterest etc. i'm sure theres lots of them on japanese sites as well, thats where i found some cool sumo ones. but that was mainly news sites. i wonder if there is even something like a kendo sports scene in japan like there is for sumo. i might check the japanese chans as well

>>7784869
>yandex, pinterest, japanese news sites
Thanks. I don't think kendo gets as much visibility from spectators so it might be harder to find. I found some japanese action pose books once, I wonder if they have a kendo edition.

>>7784565 (OP)
Here's a fun thread question: What amount of time spent per figure is best for expanding your visual library, in your opinion?

>>7784921
all the times. every time, in tandem. quick ones, mid/sketchy longer ones, highly detailed ones. you should do quick figures for warming up and then ramping up the time spent per figure.

>>7784565 (OP)
MY DRAWING MADE THE OP YEAAAAHHHHH

>>7785033
not just that, you inspired what i assume is OP to do one in that style as well >>7784596

it's crazy how some people have long ass legs, big ass femur

>>7784596
12/100 I hate drawing fat people. I tried to make the most of it and played around with a parallel pen for calligraphy. I think it was made for calligraphy and not drawing fatties

>>7784631
Ask your mom

>>7784743
I usually do studies in pencil on cheap copy paper. It seems more economical. I save the ink for finished stuff, but your post reminded me to try something in ink.

>>7785339
Yeah thats right. I am OP. I fucking love that bare ass sneakers ref >>7776621 I couldnt let /fig/ die. I dont know who usually makes the threads i was dead for like a year.

At which point should I stop copying and start exaggerating/stylizing?

>>7785558
depends on your goals

>>7785552
never heard of a parallel pen before, that looks really cool. i thought it was digital at first before i looked closer

Guys im looking for an "anatomy atlas" for artists.
-I need the "greek" proportions of everything, how many head lengths is the with of the rib cage... and so on
-i need all the masses, but not the stupid medical illustrations with skinned people. something like pic related.
-i need a high resolution, men, femoids, little humans, straight knees, bend knees, twisted arms and so on
-it must be in forms of pictures, i cant rewatch Vilppus 100h anatomy course if i forgot a little detail of the arm
- little to no text, it must be condensed to be useful
- it should have a logical structure, big masses first, details later
The last 2 points kill almost all classical books. Like Bammes is very good. But too much text, way too big and its too random legs, head, torso, face... its hard to find what you want.

Does something like this exist?
Do i have to do it myself? Searching for the best pictures in different books and put them together to compound a little body atlas?
If so, anyone interested in putting material together?

i feel like i'm getting there. #5 felt satisfying, focusing more on the figure than any details and trying to be a tad bit cleaner than usual
>>7785629
you should write it up yourself and draw it yourself, like a cheat-sheet type of deal. this way you'll remember it better. it's what they call studying i think. heh. just kidding, but since youre looking for something very specific, you should put it together yourself for either your own use or sharing even.

>>7785663
Yeah, i think i will have to do it myself. Sure, i will study it, but for the reference, originals are better, of course.
There is a guy on tube, he is making his own Anki pages out of art books. Not exactly what im looking for, but maybe i will make something similar in nature.
Anyway, i downloaded everything i could by Bammes, those are thousands of pages. I will have to evaluate the content for a couple of days, first.

can't stop, won't stop. actually, thats it for today, i want to check out the new vince gilligan show. keep on figgin, figgers.

>>7785629
He doesn’t meet all your qualifications but Paul richer is great for anatomy. His diagrams are very to the point and easy to understand, and his figures are very accurate, especially the women

>>7785552
Do you hate drawing "people with weight complications" because they make you hard or because they don't?

>>7785659
Wasnt happy, drew it again, is a nice ref.
>>7785808
Thx, i will look into it.
The ratio between text and pictures is crazy in this old academic books.

stuff from last week

>>7786024
it does look better or rather closer to the reference stance/figure wise. there's weight to it and the gravity feels correct.

Drawing clothes is fun

>>7785439
Can you post only the reference image?

>>7786194
sure, here it is

you can also find more stuff from him in here, his works are great

>>7785552
21/100 the refs were too fat for me. I sucked the fat out of their disgusting bodies. Why do they smile in their photos? I would be frowning in disgust at who i am.

>>7785558
When you can’t copy the ref because of skill limitations or because its so disgusting that you refuse to draw it, then you sprinkle some style on there to make it taste better.

>>7785893
I hate them because i am fat and they remind me of how disgustingly out of shape i am

>>7786156
Who knew that most of the world is clothed most of their lives.

>>7786605
>Why do they smile in their photos? I would be frowning in disgust at who i am.
as someone who was very fat most of my life, i understand your frustration towards it. it's harder to loose weight when doing something as taxing as drawing/art, because you will need some form of energy to keep the brain and body going.

and also props for speeding through your own challenge, your efforts are encouraging. and this black and red ink style looks mesmerizing.

I want to go deeper with my anaotmy studys.
I have a medical skull, haw drawn it a lot and got me more understanding about the face structure.
I have a greek bust op Aphrodite.
Drawing stuff irl is superior.
Now im thinking about buying a full skeleton.
What you think? Whats the best size, 100% or smaller?
How can i pose the thing? Its not of too much help when all the bones are just hanging down.

Is "study core" art a thing in itself or is it a tool to achieve knowledge, to paint "real" art afterwords?
This guy, Michael Mentler, is old as fuck but most his work looks like out of an art students book.
Is it cringe or based?

>>7786031
what kind of buses you go to??

>>7786709
Lol, i think it should mean pussy. I started studying the subject, no so long ago. So far im not too happy with the results.

>>7786692
Those look pretty cool, I can appreciate the aesthetic. Though I do not know whether he himself draws them out of passion or if he simply wants to copy Da Vinci.

The lips are pretty disgusting though. Not very "high art"esque

You can sell your low int studys for that amount of money?

more drawy

>>7784565 (OP)
Where's a good place to start if I wanna start?
Doing gestures and studying basic anatomy and proportions then just starting?

>>7786605
31/100 i have another page that i was too lazy to scan because i was too tired to paint it. Save it for tomorrow

>>7786633
I do not support the body positive movement. You should always strive to be better and not fatter

>>7787595
This is fucking rad

>>7787130
I’m sure that guy is famous. How much do you think I could sell a wad of table drawings for? Like $12??

>>7786156
Tried to be more minimal after studying another style

>>7787922
Are you drawing the silhouette?

>>7787595
the way you drew the hand isnt in far enough on the stomach as it is in the reference. should be little closer to the pelvis

>>7787930
You could call it that cause I only did some minimal gesture lines to map stuff out and then drew on that without drawing the construction, though it's not just copying the silhouette if that's what you meant. Changed some stuff and exaggerated other stuff from the references, so I did have to do the construction, just in my head.

>>7787632
thankss !! yours look soooo good aswell, i wanna try watercolor so bad, but i don't have time

>>7787632
idk why but your art kindof reminds me of tableguy mostly the bottom left one

>>7787130
Probably not. But you can try.

I went to /jp/ for some material last month
I'll buy a tablet when I can do hands

gone for a bit but im back
just some practice sketches for tonight. Trying out new techniques/study methods.

>>7787632
38/100 fun fact, fat people are easier to paint because… they are fat. More space to mix paint and fix mistakes. I skipped the pencil sketch on the first set. I gotta figure out how to shorthand those faces

>>7787968
It’s a MAJOR time sink. I’m running at like 1/4 speed with watercolor

>>7788045
Not sure if this is an insult.. because i am tableguy…

>>7788556
THESE ARE REALLY FUCKING CRISP

>>7788661
it wasnt an insult the thing is the last time i saw your work you were doing the interesting grotesqe sexual figures,really cool seeing some more normal looking stuff

>>7788556
is that scanned trad or digital

>>7788670
It's digital. Clip studio

>>7788716
damn. what a nice brush. I've never found one that actually FELT like a pencil

>>7788732
I just went on a spree and downloaded a bunch and that one was like magic. Especially as someone used to drawing with charcoal. Most digital brushes just feel like drawing with dry-erase markers to me.

Is there a way to share a brush? When I get to my computer later i'll see if I can post a link or something.

trying to understand difficult brushes to handle, magnet and shapes.

>>7786647
It’s not possible and sounds like a pain in the ass to set up. For that money I would be looking for those marble-dust replicas of known sculptures, or a high quality Houdon ecorche

>>7788160
nice torso

>>7788464
Great work, anon, but there’s too much focus on the local values. It looks very spotted. I would like a simpler light and shadow statement

>>7788556
i think i like tennis
>>7788661
tanks
your watercolor stuff reminds me of old concept art
