can someone suggest a halloween outfit to draw a cute girl in it?
It's been a few months since I've started learning and would appreciate some feedback. It took me around 8-10 hours to make this.

>>8063983Super cool>>8063985Find a cartoonist you like and study them
>>8064017no
>>8063956Study perspective, composition, and the mannequin- you are doing far too much for someone at your level. Master simple, easy to read, and clear environments and figures before trying to do things this complex- or if you do, at least plan better.
>>8064017why is she fat
>>8063917>>8063933There are some ideas I like, especially the robo feet, but I think this showcases how composition, gesture, and values (in that order) are the most important things in an art piece, as many texts mention. Lets say the rendering is perfect. The overall work still doesnt look that good because it's cramped and stiff, with little indication of whats happening, and that comes straight from the source. I would recommend studying composition. With the amount of illustrations you are pumping out, I think you would see great gains. Good work, keep going!>>8063956The colors are stunning. You have a good eye for color (even if you were to say the colors were color picked, it doesn't take away from the execution). Honestly, I would nurture that skill and recommend doing still lifes for a while. For drawing, since you seem to like furry art, choose a character and draw it over and over, preferably one with a big muzzle so you can practice perspective.>>8063979excellent work, I still can't do anything remotely like that.>>8063983keep going>>8063994the texture on the sweater is excellent and very readable thats tough!
>>8063952Draw an adult women but holding a sign saying 16 years old.This scares redditors bigly.

>>8063912Pleased that the collages are back.
>>8063933Damn
>>8063983Really nice.
my hand and forearm are very sore but i want to keep drawing :^(
>>8064031I didn't use picked colors. The palette for the sky was based off a piece I did after my first month of learning back in May and the pattern for the Australian Shepard was based off references, but all the colors were eyeballed.
>>8064043Take breaks when drawing
>>8064043I wish I could draw more / for longer. The maximum I can do is about 5 hours, but most often I just stop at 2 or 3 hours and can't bring myself to keep going...Hopefully I'll draw for longer soon, if God wills it.
I would love to know if this looks wonky. I don't have much experience with digital art, and I am doing this stuff with Flash 8.
One comm knocked out.>>8063983Damn this one's gonna be peak>>8063979Amazing work, crisp soulful pixel anim
>>8064062Super cool!
>>8064043take frequent break, if you hurt yourself you won't be able to draw for weeks
>>8063983I wish I had talent.
>>8064024Shes fat?
Saw a vid about focusing on values/tones instead of detail.Tried to follow.I didn't know what to do with the reference, but tried to shade the main area (a triangle in the middle), then darken and lighten wherever appropriate.Tbh, the process felt more random than anything. Darken here and there and then smudge. Share your thoughts/critiques. Any advice is greatly appreciated, since all I find anyway is just "draw the fundamental shapes."
>>8064120before values you might be better knowing how to separate light and shadow into shapes using simplification and abstraction in a binarization process know as notan sometimes. if you still dont understand what i mean search images for "photoshop threshold effect" in google. an anon suggested a time ago this "lowkey photography" but he said "highkey" instead of low, so search for it too.
>>8063933what did you use for this?
>>8063915I'm gonna go out and say it. The differently sized pupils are not a good stylistic choice. It doesn't look good.

The artist called "dinoart" had an impressive growth. In 2021 or so his art was really rough, /beg/ tier, but by 2023 and nowadays his art is top tier, beautiful.I just started properly a month ago. I hope I achieve that level in a similar or lesser time frame. Deus lo vult.

>>8064497Maybe she's just too fat.
>>8064531Neither do I. It's natural not to want to draw what's ugly. We seek beauty in art.

first time doing a something piece on digitali didnt use any reference for the pose and just made it up on the spot and looking back at it now i see that her right arm is retracted back like crazy and her upper arm does not line up whatsoever so i still paid for not using referencei was gonna have the harkonnen cannon the thing she was carrying but later on i found it would be to big and would not fit well with what ive already drawn o algo so i just gave up on itim still working on clothing folds and stuff but if anyone has advice for how to draw with weapons and drawing knees because i still find it hard to draw them while the leg is straight

>>8063912Drawing feels like a puzzle, its fun but its bullshit too.
>>8064651Didnt expect you to ever shade even less color something, pretty good anon.
>>8064651>Not even a year in.>Better than our resident rendermonkeys who have been going at it for yearslol. Whats the point anymore? Any asshole with talent can do in barely a year what your average fuck needs a decade for. Just fuck this fucking bullshit.
Can I get feedback on the hatching here? >>8063545 I wanted to do half-step shadows but I'm not sure if it looks good or not.
>>8064701Do you have talent?
>>8064701i like your drawing but i don't think the hatching looks good. they need to follow the form more. i'd just go full cel shaded, no hatching but it's up to you. dithering or screentones could work for your style too.also design the shapes to look simpler and more appealing. the hair looks like a mess because of all the random shapes.
How big do I need to be drawing? I know bigger is better but how much bigger? I scaled down from 6000 x 4500 to 4500 x 3000 because I figure I'm just drawing on an ipad and it's felt way better. But I fear I'm gimping myself sometimes
>>8064666back at this panel>>8064672I'm fine, thanks
>>80647114-3k pixels on the longest side should be fine, as long as your device can handle it. more isn't better if it starts lagging, especially with more layers. stuff gets downscaled on most platforms anyway.
>>8064722My issue was more arm/elbow movement and if there's any benefit to drawing larger than smaller when it comes to understanding what you're doing. Lag's not really an issue, luckily
>>8064674what does that mean?
>>8064732Get CSP instead of fiddling with flash 8.
>>8064711size doesn't matter, big ones hurt anyway

‘Plier
Almost didn't draw today. I technically only doodled a bit yesterday too, but I'll count it towards my streak. Tried to do my figs a bit more flowy today, skipping the construction bullshit, and I think I got a good base, especially the left one. I was pretty stumped on the right one: the image quality was pretty low and I couldnt make out too much; decided to just give up. The legs were definitely the weakest point of both.

not enough work posted
All these /beg/ threads are just blind leading blind. Per 800 posts there are 10 posts with actual concrete critiques like this >>8064985 instead of vague template statements like "it's bad mkay?". And only half of those 10 are even correct. You will read abject nonsense from some nodraw/beg faggot who pretends to know anything but doesn't more often than not.This thread and this board is the worst waste of time imaginable, just create a social media acc and post your works there even if you only produce 12-year-old-posting-on-deviantart tier scribbles. You will meet people who actually draw and can give you better advice.

>>8065005>This thread and this board is the worst waste of time imaginablestop visit (you can"t)
>>8065005>You will meet people who actually draw and can give you better advice.That doesn't happen.Nobody cares in X/Facebook/Instagram. Alternative social media such as Bluesky or Tumblr are filled with lunatic troons that will get yo banned for bullshit. Discord requires ID verification and most servers are utterly dead or are just like /beg/. Pixiv isn't for critiques and is more for /int/ artists and above. Other chans are more dead than this one.Not to mention that just receiving a "it's good" or "it's bad" is, more often than not, good enough as a critique because you can know whether to look for flaws and observe intently or just leave it as is and be satisfied with your work.What sites do you recommend for critiques?
Chibi heads.

>>8065061The second drawings midriff has a clearer shape which makes it look more appealing
>>8065061I agree with the other anon. The bigger tits one looks better.
Sir, a third chibi head has hit the canvas.
>>8064761very cool. I love shortstacks.Can you do a version with a human face too? Pleeeease!
Based on a picture. Started constructing heads instead of drawing heads based on sighting. Fun with a Pencil is a great book. Whoever said that it was a beg trap in the sticky needs to remove it.

>>8065234https://litter.catbox.moe/cbfz8k8ibgmm296m.jpgprobably, I'm not very good at drawing
>>8065233That's too bad I like straight lines and sharp angles
>>8065228Alright, well, I'm not sure I'd call it very appealing right now, but there's definitely some, I like the expression, the eyes lashes, even if not perfect.I can tell that your style will be appealing when you work out some of the flaws (Like the neck anatomy, the ear being too close to the eye, the shoulders and breasts look inanimate, and everything being a bit too rigid) and get better overall.

>>8065248Thanks, appreciate the feedback, I'll try to fix it tomorrow
>>8065176Lovely

>>8065265good
>>8065254Unless you want to finish it, personally I'd say it's fine to move on. I think you just need more mileage, more attempts.I recommend specifically studying ear placement, as well as the chin/neck/jaw and where they all sort of meet and how. Knowing the side of the face, where the ear sits and where the jaw begins will help you more than you believe with the whole face, even the eyes, nose and mouth.
>>8065210>>8065260I recommend that you watch a few "10/50/100 CSP Tips" videos, or simply read the manual directly.Right now I'm /beg/ so I only use the most basic tools, but once I'm /int/ or /adv/ I plan to read the entire manual to get the most out of the software and facilitate/quicken workflow.https://help.clip-studio.com/en-us/First_Topic.htm

>>8065565I'm a beg myself, but it looks great to me. Although I can't really tell where the water ends and the sky begins aside from the reflection of what I assume to be a cliff in the distance.Unless the sky/water are meant to meld together for effect, maybe a bit more of an implied horizon to make it less abstract, like subtle hue or brightness shift, or some distant surface reflection coming to an abrupt end.

Is there a single artist who can draw like a God and suddenly become an """""""""AI Artist"""""""""" ???????????
>>8065691Yes, they're called industry artists, and they don't refer to themselves as ai artists, just whatever their role is in the industry. Hope this helps

>>8065763Pretty good. Mogs me.
>>8065173Is the perspective ok
>>8065267>Unless you want to finish it, personally I'd say it's fine to move on. I think you just need more mileage, more attempts.Well I'm not spending that much time on it, it's just rough sketches. Besides I am getting mileage drawing some random bs from imagination and trying to fix it.>I recommend specifically studying ear placement, as well as the chin/neck/jaw and where they all sort of meet and how.Yeah I think I have to go back to grinding studies there are lots of gaps in my knowledgeI've been drawing without doing any studies this entire year because I finally reached the point where I'm not instantly repulsed by the result and I can draw for fun and it was great and all but I'm starting to realize I'll be stuck in permabeg hell if I don't change something going forward.
>>8065292Ohh ambitious very nice. Like seeing more than voids around these parts.As for crit of the figures, I'd say that they feel a little weightless or contrived. For the bath, it doesn't feel as though her arms really supporting her torso.For the second, The girl can have a lot more arching in the back. Think about gravity, if she's being supported from the crotch and the top of her head, everything between those want to go down. Here she maintains a neutral position which would take more effort than hanging around. The man should have his hips driving forward, almost as if leaving his legs and torso behind from the force.There's lots of directions you can go in. I personally like the look of straight legs a lot.
>>8065789Nice.
>>8065751I can't monetize my stuff, my thought process is too disperse. My "comics" are just stuff that comes to me on the spur of the moment and goes away in a few days (or hours lol). And the things that I want to draw are too niche and "cancellable". Too much crossing fetishes cancelling each other, like BDSM, damsel in distress, NTR, random comics?, furry?, simpsons?, monster grills?, weird shit?, even blaxxxplotation, out of that mess I would get maybe a couple of faithful patreons that won't hate me at the end, lol. I did that piece above instead of doing the inktober one, and now I'm fried. So if I do the inktober one (I will) I have to leave the "daily" comic page from Gary's thread for tomorrow. I have 5 hours a day to draw whatever the fuck I want, and can't mismanage that. You can't keep that high level of artistic dopamine all day, you end up having SERIOUS mental breakdowns like many artists have. It's preferable to have a totally different easy going job to shut your mind and relax. Creative work is hard, when it goes beyond the playful recommended time it becomes soul crushing. That's nothing like doing any other "robotic-like" tasks, like installing and formatting Operative systems while you browse the web, or cleaning servers and building PCs, or doing basic maintenance. 60% of PC issues get fixed by spraying WD40 lol.Trying to have an artistic career can be a deadly trap. If all you want is the freedom to draw whatever silly shit you want, my belief is that you have to "pay" for it, you have to finance your own artistic whim or desire. No one is going to pay you for drawing whatever random shit that comes across your mind forever, or at least it's getting harder and harder.>>8065786You do amazing stuff!
>>8065810>Trying to have an artistic career can be a deadly trap.

I know that I'll probably have to draw furries, futas, and other things I would rather not, but of course I won't be drawing that 100% of the time. I'll be drawing beautiful works of art as well.>stuff that comes to me on the spur of the moment and goes away in a few days (or hours lol)Write it down so you don't forget? I've written down all my inspirations for when I get the skills to illustrate them.

When I'm doing a color study, is it better to try to find colors on the pallet and make them all together to mesh like paint? OrGrab similar colors, put them on a separate layers and just smudge them for soft areas but leave some areas that are hard?Trying to do one of the sky with clouds and there's a lot of colors.

I tried following a youtube tutorial
No one likes me...
Any hatching tips?Anyone to incorporate hatching shadowshapes with feathering of clothing and muscles and the like? Any artists that do this?
>>8066135When did I make this post?
Im too much of a degenerate goddamnit, if i ever become great at drawing i will only get to be advanced, i dont see myself being a pro... nothing that i make is normal.
>>8066149Like the most normal thing i can make is stuff like this.
>>8066117>baaragslop
>>8066133The youtube tutorial did well, nice work anon.
>>8066149if you ask me there's nothing more based than an artist that embraces their depravity and funnels it into their art, especially if they become pro level just to draw their gross gooner shit. that's true artistry right there. hell look at r. crumb. he's a massive deranged sicko and one of the most beloved counter culture artists of modern times. just draw what you like and tell naysayers to fuck off
>>8066159coomslop is overdone so it's not really counter culture anymore
>>8066154Thank you. I received some feedback elsewhere that I think made it better; to darken the lighter parts of the shadow area.

Daily slop. Gray from yesterday, green from today. Motivations dipped again, but not completely unsalvageable.Artwise, I've been completely stagnant. I think I'm too afraid to take risks, I havnt even done anything besides sketches for months. My brush is holding me back, its fine for quick stuff but it cant handle anything in detail.

I want to begin my journey to becoming a drawer, but I do not want to face the struggle of mastering anatomy, so I will be sticking to cute and simple designs. What books and videos should I look/get?
>>8066487Lol. I kind of get it. I'm drawing chibis right now because they're easier, though I will indeed study anatomy as well.If you know Japanese and are interested in chibis, check "Minikyara no Kakikata" by Yumenouchi Chiharu. That's the one I'm using.
>>8066447>>8066461stagnationGODS
I tried drawing these by taking quick glances at the original for significant lines and trying to figure out the right angle and position without reference points. Does anything immediately stand out as being wrong?

>>8065790>>8065292Thanks again for the advice, I kinda floundered with the second one, especially the feet, but gotta forge ahead anyway w/ it, for the first one I ended up going with non-straight legs, though I'm starting to think the straight legs will just be straight up better.
ten minute studies
I wanna work on something else but I have no energy. Genuinely 0 willpower to do a study or a different piece or what have you. Which sucks because I WANT to draw, but I know if I force myself to my brain will immediately shut off and I won't learn or make anything good. Shit sucks.
>>8066549Maybe you'll find motivation to work on something else if you post this drawing another 15 times.
>>8066550Sorry
Man, an hour and a half. I don't drawing chibis should take so long. Maybe it's because my first time.
>>8066552You really need to wrap it up and move on even if it's not perfect. The longer you polish the same drawing the more bored and unmotivated you'll become.
What do you do when you're feeling stuck/frustrated?
>>8066557I did, at least momentarily. I worked on another commission. I'm just loathing this state of being I have been getting every now and then for the last few months where I suddenly have no energy to do anything, and my mood plummets. I want to have the energy to draw.
I'be gotten slightly better at drawing faces but everything else is meh. how did you guys get better at line art and limbs.
>>8066574draw a goofy cat or alternatively you could be like that faggot who keeps yelling that he's trash

>>8066583Look into Modafinil. It's what I take on my week long vacations.Mixed with coffee and you will draw nonstop for 18 hours straight.
I wish i could draw. I wanna draw but i dont know how. I dont know how to learn how to draw either.
>>8066611Funny you mention this since it seems to be recommended for people with sleep apnea, which I just found out last week that I have. I'll keep it in mind for my next psychiatric appointment. Thanks.

>>8066627>How much to draw her on a breeding mount taking something bigger than that.$30, assuming it's full body and just lineart.>Dont listen to him.Oh don't worry, I'm not crazy. My resting heart rate is already 110 so I'm never mixing any kind of medication with anything. I'm going to try exercising more first and I'll ask my psychiatrist about it if that doesn't work. I already take amphetamines though so I wonder if adding another kind of stimulant to the mix would be dangerous to my health. We'll see.
>>8066641Thank you!

>>8067141These are pretty nice. Can you post your old faces for a comparison?
>>8067162Sure, here.
>>8067176Wow. Your lines improved a lot, too.
>>8067141>>8067176The term talent is thrown out a lot but I have seen dollfag amongst other permabegs struggle to draw faces for years and here you are deathmogging them all in months. Are you aware that you are very gifted?

>>8066964I HATE this "muh talent" spamming nigger, but in a way he's right. Although I wouldn't say it's unearned. Mega obviously puts in more effort.
>>8066964>He made it to intYou’re distorting reality for him; the rude awakening he’ll face when he realizes he isn’t actually at the level you—like a bunch of clapping seals—are cheering for, will be damaging to him, and there’s a real chance he might end up quitting altogether.
>>8067319So true sister, we should instead collectively call him a permabeg who will never make it.
artists that improve rapidly are either:in schoolunemployedhave a personal mentorautisticgay
shitty scribble on mspaint, for a short scifi detective story with the twist being the snow is mini alien bugs that slowly digests dead matter
>>8067322I never said that; in fact, my message was directed at you (or at the "clapping seal" who wrote such nonsense). We should be objective about whether or not there is any evolution taking place. To be fair, I don’t see any major development—certainly not the kind you claim to see—but there is a normal level of progress. This implies that this anon, like everyone else here (provided they keep drawing), will reach whatever level their persistence in the subject allows them to attain. Finally, I believe your attitude regarding whether someone has "talent" or "the right rhythm"—and so on—is actually harmful to this community.

>>8067294Few more from today. This is the second time I’ve gone to Cane’s when a bunch of high schoolers are there, lots of great subjects https://imgur.com/a/N9wcffb
Didn't even draw yesterday and only drew for a bit today. Watched a movie and some tv shows, but the real killer is doomscrolling. Its not even about not wanting to draw, its about starting it in the first place.Anyways, I have a bad habit adding random lines to imply shadow, I need to quit doing that, or everything I do will remain a piece of shit.>>8067323>personal mentorWhere do I get one? I'm poor and antisocial
>>8067357Pfff, that’s my reality sometimes; it’s a matter of inertia. My solution is simple: just start drawing while cutting back on your exposure to "junk" content—games, videos, movies, and so on. Or, if that doesn’t work, I’ll spend a little time on those other things and then get back to drawing. The thing is, at first, drawing can be painful for a few days—until it starts to become enjoyable. At that point, it develops the same kind of inertia that those "time-wasters" had before. All you need is discipline and the ability to endure a bit of discomfort to master it.

Got some micron pens and a brush recently, any tips on how to use them? Made this lil pumpkin guy with them. I'm kind of confused if I should try do to long strokes or smaller very light strokes.

>>8067815Cool work, but I think you're missing a lot of colors, like reds and blues. I'd suggest:1.Make a gradient map of the colors you see. This is handy later when you learn about mixing colors on canvas, since you can see where each color goes.2.Use the RGB sliders to mix and find the colors you need. Think in terms of RGB: does it need more blue or red? If you need yellow, that means you need to remove blue from the color.3.At least try the first two exercises from How to See Color and Paint It.a quick example, I'm bad at quick painting so take it as an example only.>>8067803I like the gesture on the foot>>8067717404
floating anime heads
>>8067893and something on paper
In my everlasting quest for figuring out why my art looks so retarded, I decided to take the main color and shading that I normally use when drawing anime girls, and compare it to the main color and shading that artists I like use. This was somewhat eye opening; I always used a more pinkish tone for my skin, and assumed shading must be blue-ish. But it seems a lot of artists I like tend to use a more yellowish skin tone, and rather red shading, for the most part. I'll make sure to use this yellowish skin with red shading in my next drawing, and see if it looks closer to the works of these artists.
One floating face from imagination, one fig, and one mediocre copy. Drawing anime is so hard, I hate it. Fucking wideass faces.>>8067765How do you get over the embarrassment of drawing in public? Especially on such a bigass piece of paper; you are very brave.>>8067894hot

What the fuck can you even do against talentfags anymore?This isnt fun anymore. It is fucking depressing.

>>8067908You think you are blackpilling, but you're actually giving me motivation because I just started so you're telling me I will succeed regardless of my effort because of "talent" (I shall call it Holy Spirit).
>>8066287final for now, other than client feedback. either gonna do the next one or break to draw for personal reasons
rough copy (original by tomatoketchup96) just to get back into drawing, been procrastinating insane hard latelymaybe im depressed or something
>>8068036Amusing situation in the drawing.
>>8067877Thanks for the feedback, I've always been terrible with colors, I definitely need to have a more serious approach to the topic instead of just randomly guessing.
>>8067908omg you fkin sucker, go to pinterest and search for some slutty anime bitch, then copy that fkin image, go to pureref and paste it, and then go to your ps/csp/krita piece of shit software and start drawing. everyone can do it you fkin talent faggot, everyone can copy the fkin reference, everyone can draw like a chicken scratching the floor for worms, erasing and starting over. are you stupid? go and keep drawing until your fingers start to fall you piece of shit that knows nothing other than to attribute to 'talent' what you cannot achieve. did the anon post proof of his claims? do you know him? are you even close enough to him to assure all of us he isn't lying, he didn't take more time than what he states? lastly, everyone is wired differently, that doesn't mean you are not capable of achieving similar or better results, but that's up to your 'willingness' to embrace the process of 'learning'. kys, you make me feel sick, you hopeless piece of shit. i should leave this fkin board for some time.

>>8068050>>8068003>>8067910None of you denied that Rein is somehow worse than someone who has been drawing for a tenth of that time. You just want to believe that talent doesnt exist to protect your fragile little egos just like /fit/ claims anyone stronger than them is roiding. Pity
>>8068050Then why didnt Rein do that and get as good as Megasch instead of being mid beg goons for a decade?
>>8067910Megasch is a college student. What is your excuse now? Talent >>>>>> time and hard work.

>>8068119KEK
>>8068103Few have the need to deny what's obviously false. If someone says gravity doesn't exist or the earth is flat, you either chuckle and ignore him or call him a retard.>account created ten years agoThat doesn't mean he's been drawing for 10 years. He could've spent 8 of those years just lurking and looking at others' artworks in Pixiv.
>>8068103>Rein is somehow worseBut he's not? You are trying too hard now
>>8067896It's good that you are studying from other artists, but color is contextual, skin color should depend on the colors and lighting in your work. For instance if your bg has redish tones, then yelow skin shades will look really yellow as if the person has liver failure. And if you want to draw a person in sun light then you can go with orange skin. I'd advice first come up with rough colors for background and only then decide on skin shade. Also keep it on separate layer so you can easily change it in the later stages. I usually tweak skin color as one of the last steps.
>>8067899Honestly I just do it so much that it’s like second nature to me- also the sketchbook is 5.5 by 8.5 haha. But the more you do it, the less self conscious you get about what people think- most people just find it interesting and will give me a passing compliment. It’s just the sort of thing you gotta do if you want to improve. Only “bad” experience was when a Target worker told me a lady complained about me drawing her mom’s ass lmfao

Almost done with this, I think. I don't know how to draw spit or wetness in general so if anyone wants to do a paintover of those areas I'd really be in your debt.Also, as much as I appreciate the confidence boost, please don't compare me with other people with the intent of trying to make them feel like shit. For one, my nigga Frenchie is way better than me and I'm a super fan of his, so don't even try. And second, I like everyone here and seeing people talk shit while using my name sucks. I realize that asking on this website is fruitless, but trying is free so I might as well.

Four hours and a half, and I missed the tail and couldn't get to apply a basic polka dot pattern.The more I use Krita, the more I hate this fucking program. I'm not even using advanced features, just basic tools. I can't imagine professionals using this software.
>>8068383why use it then
>>8068383>beg blames his toolsa tale as old as art
>>8068388I'm on Linux, and only using basic tools as I said. Once I'm more advanced and using more complex tools and workflow, I'll be dual booting Windows to use CSP.It is simply ridiculous that even simple tools are a hassle with Krita.
>>8067537>>8067996Did this one using just the brush pen. I like the sensation of moving the brush along the paper more than the microns, they feel like they're scraping the paper. Are they supposed to feel like that or is my grip fucked?

Because it had a high threshold for some fucking reason.>want to color only a portion of the lineart>go to lineart layer and use contiguous selection tool>it selects more than necessary for some fucking reasonWhy? Because it has a high threshold and if the threshold is a single point too high while the line is too thin, it ignores the whole fucking line and selects everything.>lower threshold>try selecting again>selects everything againWhy? Because there is one tiny gap between the two lines.>increase close gap option in the tool>it selects a tiny portion of the actual total portion between the two lines instead of the entire fucking portion>finally get it to select the portion I want>fill the portion with color>it leaves a white outline between the lineart and the color for some fucking reasonWhy? Because the threshold was too low. And don't you dare increase it too much either or I'll just ignore all the lineart. You need the exact perfect amount of threshold, no one point more nor one point less, because fuck you.It is so fucking irksome. Compare this shit to the "fill without gap" tool in CSP. That shit is like magic in comparison to this.
>>8068383Just get CSP. Krita is garbage.

>>8068447with the way you draw it looked like you were using a mouse since so many of the lines were wobbly
>>8068460I don't think they're that wobbly, but I draw with relatively low stability because Krita is shit and lags a lot if I increase the stroke stability.Also, since I used selection to quickly fill areas with color and Krita's selection functions are utter shit, that messes with the line shape and weight.
>>8068445scroll tiktok

God, this shit is so ass. Gave up at the end. Part of my soul shrivels in on itself whenever I see the final result. Its just really hard to think of shit and then implement it. Dialogue is really hard too, especially fitting it all in. I should probably do it with characters interacting in the same scene instead of floating heads. I think I'll just copy an entire actual issue of a manga and/or comic and see if I can just bruteforce the knowledge>>8068091lmao
>>8068623Very nice >>8068620Seems like planning is your weakness. Do more thumbnail sketches
>>8068625Isnt what I'm doing already thumbnail sketches? Or do I need to go even smaller?
What skill level should i have to start animating in 2d? What is the most important skill i need to learn to start animating.
>>8068630They’re too complex for thumbnail sketches. Like go even simpler than you already are. You’re too focused on communicating like facial expressions, gesture, and things like that-focus on the IDEA of what you’re trying to draw, even if the drawings look bad- so that the final result can be better.
Today’s anatomy studies - knob hill. Working on composition next.
>>8068631being mid /beg/ or higher would help. being able to sketch and capture the gesture or flow is probably the most important skill for animation. other than the fundamentals of observation/accuracy and hand-eye coordination.
I posted my drawing in an art group and got completely ignored, not a single reaction, chat was dead silent and after my post people just immediately started discussing unrelated things like I got them to open chat but my work didn't register in their brains at all, they couldn't give less fucks.And then 20 minutes later some guy posted simlpe chibi scribbles and got flooded with heart reactions and positive comments.There's no point in improving technical skills, it's all autism propped up by high int, terminally low wis assburgers who historically flock to image boards. The only thing that matters in art is soul and the wast majority of people here including me are soulless golems with no spark.
>>8068671Lets see it anon
>>8068146That's a good point, thanks for the advice. Just asking, is it true that if I draw the skin with a base color, I could also match it to a background later with special layer filters or other color adjustments? I mean I think having an idea for the background first is probably the best way to go like you said, but asking just in case I'm in a situation where I change my mind about the background later.
>>8068671Are you drawing for them or yourself? I get you want some recognition but focusing on it will make you even more miserable.Also pyw
Composition practice- interesting stuff

>>8066543you should take more time and try to catch the shadows and shapes right. quick studies wont get you anywhere at your level. take your time. draw the shapes and angles correct, erase, redraw, till its close to correct. theres lots of reference points in that bale picture. try this slightly edited version where you can see the shapes a little more clearly in order to make measuring easier. dont draw stuff you dont see, draw it how it is.
>>8068723https://www.proko.com/valuesPiggybacking off this to share this link to Proko's value study tool. It lets you play around with the values to better see the shapes.
>>8068723>>8066543>>8067266this is far from perfect, because i "only" spent 30 minutes on it (i usually take about an hour+ for the outlines, fix stuff etc), but this is what it looks like before i go into the shading/render. and the lines are usually a lot softer, i pressed hard to make it visible. quick studies are not for beginners, take your time and do it over and over and over till you get it right. gotta get past the frustration and quick dopamine fixes, power through. keep on keeping on anon.
>>8068723>>8068731>>8068735thanks, I'll try spending more time on each study
>>8068741if i were you i wouldnt even draw huu-mans too much, but simple objects. it doesnt have to be boxes. glasses and bottles with interesting shapes, cans, put a nice light on it with your desk or phone lamp and then try to get the simple things right. art and drawing is a long journey with a lot of time having to be sacrificed, no need to jump the gun and be annoyed. little victories are important.
>>8068743I think I'm not a complete beginner anymore, I'm >>8068506, so I want to move to more complex stuff, but I always feel like I lack the skill. I already tried learning with values like two or three months ago with two values, and then four, but didn't get too far. Maybe I should try out that method again.
>>8068748four value studies
>>8068748>>8068748ralistic human faces are as complicated as hands desu. theres a certain face recognition going on in the brain that relies on symbols too much. these look nice though, especially the simpler objects.
>>8068748>Maybe I should try out that method again.and do add to my post, if you try it again, take more time per piece, really look at the angling of the shapes, their size and relation to all other shapes and angles. drawing isnt as easy as some of the "xeroxmachinelmao" crabs would like you to think it is.

>>8068599Thank you too and good luck as well!>>8068671Very true. I knew that would happen in other art communities so I never really joined them or wasted time looking for them. At least /here/ you get somewhat frequent replies, reactions, and advice, even if simple, which is better than nothing.
Sometimes I imagine what would my progress be if I ever got a japanese mentor. And every time it's clear they would overly politely ask me to not waste their and my time and to not pursue art because I have no talent, no eye, no sense of style, aesthetic and appeal. For some reason it's only westerners who love to delude themselves with fairy tails of how hard work beats everything. Asians are very down to earth, realistic and red pilled in that regard, they know some people are born with brains to pick up art faster and better than others and a hard working average person can will never beat a talented one who bothers to put in at least some work.
>>8068872lol
>>8068882pyw
>>8068872Doctors need to find a way to detect if a fetus is talented in the womb so parents have the option to abort them. It's cruel to throw untalented children into the world against their will. It's like being born with downs syndrome.
>>8068893Sounds like talent schizo needs a case of post birth abortion asap.
>>8068893There should just be less people meaning less polarisation of financial success, i cant wait for nuclear winter, whats being done to the ocean and the land is worse than tge bombs could ever do
Maybe if I have to autistically measure angles and sizes to draw something resembling a face after 3 years of drawing, while some 13 year old just wings it and makes perfect faces every time without even engaging consciously, maybe that means I just biologically don't have what it takes for art. It's always so red pilling seeing good artists childhood sketchbooks. Back when they never opened a single book, didn't study, didn't get a single art lesson yet. And still they never had to think twice where a line should be to convey perfect shapes. Everything comes naturally, like fish in water. They became good artists by 15 and then when they got to studies they progressed into a great one. People here think they can do the same without foundation. If they just study birds and wing movements hard enough and jump out of the window they will totes fly like birds.
>>8068892sorry sensei, me no doom and gloom
can I get any crit on this? I don't know what I'm doing with colors and shading. Also pretty sure one eye is too big but anything is really appreciated
>>8068903heres me after year of daily drawing. i'm 35 now. dont give up and no excuses for giving up.
>>8068947Do you have the original reference image?
>>8068903Megasch would never say this.>>8068961this isnt the flex you think it is.
>>8063912learning perspective...
>>8068969but it is
>>8068961Copying is a completely different thing from imagination drawing, even a monkey could be taught to draw a portrait from a reference. The measure of skill is whether you can draw a good looking head from imagination only. Humans are hard wired to notice the smallest issue in faces. Unless you have talent, faces from imagination will always have something off about them.
>>8068973first trying or is erasing and fixing mistakes allowed?
>>8068963yes
>>8068973even if this was true we live in the time of instantly accessible references so it doesn't matter and everyone can talent fraud and 99% of twitter artists exclusively draw with references so it's already the standard. drawing from imagination is a useless skill with no real purpose in the modern era. just photobash your refs and copy, no one cares
>>8068982Anon is right. If it's as easy as being reference dependent, just be reference dependent. Every popular artist is already doing it, 3D models, tracing, paint overs, brush sets for hair and textures. Just do what they do and it won't matter.
>>8068982Megasch can draw without reference much better than reference slaves. Skill issue.>drawing from imagination is a useless skillThermonuclear cope
>>8068982only someone who wants to draw for attention/money would say something like this. just go gen AI slop if all you want to do is fill the internet with more idealess noise
Rein
>>8068987Using references isn't idealess noise, just combine different references to get your idea across. 99% of artists you see who are doing this even ones who seem "original." They're just blending several references at once rather than drawing a fully original image.
>>8068986>Megasch can draw without referenceYou can't prove this
>>8068990They said the same thing about Favela and Favela was heavily referencing every single drawing if not straight up tracing.
this is a Dandan psyops
stop getting baitedget back to drawing
>>8068982At that point just use AI if you do not care for drawing.
>>8068947my man I think you should focus on the proportion first before committing further down. The colors are fine but without fixing the shape/proportion you're gonna have a bad time shading
>>8064964whomst is this character anon?
>>8068991Nihu is 100% a fraud. I don't think he even likes drawing since he just remakes the same shitty safe-horny foot fetish drawing with piss filter muddy colors ad nauseum because that's what his followers want. I don't think it's fair to conflate megasch with nihu since there's no real proof, but to claim the former doesn't use refs is just a hallucination.
>>8068997Fair enough I'm seeing that now. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your feedback btw
>>8068978AI fags are so fucking retarded.
>>8069002that doesn't look like ai
>>8068961This is the type of post that convinces people to quit lol
>>8069008what? because it's not a sexy anime girl with big tits?
>>8069014One year of daily drawing plus two years of whatever else you were doing just to get a moderately better copy of a photo ref isn't what most people are hoping for
Where does this idea that you can't draw anything that doesn't have a 100% exact reference if you can't draw something 100% accurately from imagination? Most artists use references that are vaguely or closely similar to what they already want to draw, that they imagined in their minds. They already used their imagination. The references are to prevent mistakes from happening and avoid wasting time fixing mistakes.Why do these people believe that artists only look for reference and then draw instead of imagining what they want to draw and then looking for references that closely match what they already imagined?There's nothing new under the sun. Drawing completely from imagination won't make you special. It's an unnecessary burden, like drawing with your feet when you could have perfectly used your hands instead.
>>8069005The "broken" nose? The crooked eyes? The weird skin and "freckles"?Wait, I just saw the "earrings", You're right, pic's legit.

>>8069005Bruh, look at the earings.
>>8069014You're good at photo copy references. But can you draw literally anything without photo reference?Can you make something unique? Can you change and rotate the pose? Can you change facial features, exaggerate expressions, change the clothes or hair style? Or is copying black and white photos the only thing you can do?Anyone can get good at realistic photo reference drawings, but there's a reason it's such a niche avenue of drawing.

Realistic paintings were extremely praised when there weren't any cameras.>But can you draw literally anything without photo reference?He doesn't need to.>Can you make something unique?Why do you believe references would prevent him from doing it?

Do you ever feel like you got lucky on a drawing and made something way above your skill level and will never make something that good again?
>>8069043Works for me.
Think I'm done with this. Not sure what to draw next.
>>8069067Actually I should've made the nose bend around the point of contact. Maybe I'm not done.
>>8069068>>8069067Why are you working so much on this piece, bro?
>>8069067>>8069068>>8069070My opinion is that the appeal of this type of cock worship images and illustrations is that the woman tends to have a strong emotion. Typically the female is either completely ecstatic and happy, or very shy and embarrassed, or extremely furious and crying, or utterly tired and exhausted.Your drawing has the woman completely emotionless, maybe somewhat surprised, and thus it isn't very appealing.Work on something else, friend. Or at least give her some emotion.

>>8069070I mean, I started this one like one or two days ago didn't I? Do artists not usually work on the same piece for more than a day? I don't really have the attention span to work on the same piece for more than an hour or so either so I've been working on other stuff between sessions.>>8069080I actually specifically drew her expressionless because I thought the gap between her cold gaze and being in an extremely intimate moment would be hot.

That's pretty hot in some illustrations, but I don't think it fits this one. That's just my opinion anyways, maybe others do find it hot.

Obvious WIP that I probably won't finish. I'm the one who had the idea to paint with yellow skin instead of pink several comments up in my quest to make my art look less retarded. And idk guys, now my art just looks yellow and retarded instead of pink and retarded. I feel like a villain in a Saturday morning cartoon - always trying some new scheme only to get defeated in the end. I spent literally 8 hours on this (yes, this) between today and yesterday, and it just feels like no matter what I try, my rendering always looks like ass.What am I missing guys? What tutorials, videos, books, should I study up on? Besides putting a gun in my mouth, what should I try differently? All I want at this point is to escape from this purgatory of mediocrity once and for all.
>>8069202Mega would never name his drawing WIPshit.jpg
>>8068756>>8068772yeah, I'll have to slow down if I want to get good at this
>>8069167I’m just gonna start doing this now, fuck Imgur lol . Here’s all of the life drawings from todayhttps://postimg.cc/gallery/NjqngFR
>>8069202I mean, how many hours in total have you put into rendering in all of your time drawing? Spending 8 hours on a piece you're not satisfied with sounds about right if you only have 100 or so hours of painting/rendering experience in total. Regardless, the first and major thing I'd like to suggest is putting more contrast between light areas and dark areas. It doesn't have to be a crazy amount.Secondly, I think you may need to take a break for a few hours (or even coming back to it tomorrow) so you can get a fresher perspective on what does and doesn't make sense with the lighting. Her right calf should probably be getting at least a little bit of rim lighting, the shadow on her left thigh could probably use some midtones to give it roundness, her breasts seem to be receiving light from the top left whereas her arms and legs are getting lit from somewhere on the right, and her right breast should probably be a little darker than the left one since it's a bit further from the light. Things like that you only really notice once you look at something after not looking at it for a few hours. I personally draw for about an hour, two at most, and then take a 15 to 20 minute break, then repeat. And if something's not working out, take an hour long break or come back tomorrow.
Holy fuck do we HAVE to wait until image limit before a new thread is made? This thread is ten fucking days old.

>>8067770>her torso is too shortisnt that normal when you have a low angle view? things get squashed...
A guy in the fig thread recomended a loomis book that talks about composition, i really like it.
>>8069219Thanks the advice, genuinely. Sounds like I should put more thought into where the light source is coming from, I've made this error before so I need to do better about remembering this. Related, do you have any notes about my rendering/blending technique itself? I feel like I need to improve there too.
it keeps getting sloppier and sloppier. Do I even have the will to draw? 7 hours of freetime, less than 20 mins of actual drawing. People do these little figs as warmups, not the only thing they ever do. Whats worse is that I cant do them from imagination; I should be able to shit these out gatling style but I cant. I'm half convinced its a mental block.I guess I'll try out a few tomorrow, if I manage to muster up the will to do them>>8069398What book? Good stuff btw, dunno why but I'm reminded of those bbw mods for nuResident Evil
>>8069405Loomis creative ilustration
>>8069405Yes, they serve many functions in an artist's creative process. What do these "warm-up exercises" mean to you? If they don't hold any meaning for you, then doing them won't make sense either; your brain might simply perceive them as a waste of time.Drawing from imagination is something we are all capable of, don't you think? Unless someone has suffered a serious injury, I don't believe there are people who are truly incapable of imagining. Imagination is, at its core, a form of prediction—a way to test something out before committing to it. Wasn't imagination a survival tool at the dawn of humanity? Planning anything requires the use of imagination; therefore, the problem might not be imagination itself.Perhaps you lack a solid, compelling mental model of the human figure that would allow you to draw quickly from your imagination; or maybe you lack the training needed to strip away details and capture the essence of things; or, quite simply, your expectations might not align with your current skill level.>if I manage to muster up the will to do themOf course you can! You just have to compel your brain to do it—since it currently views the task as a waste of time (or perhaps it would rather go play, watch a movie, etc.). It’s much like going to school, doing homework, or heading off to work on a cold, rainy Monday morning; your brain has already grown accustomed to "suffering" through those kinds of situations.
>>8069205Don't rush it. Try to do everything the book tells you and assemble the proper rig for each project if you're not already doing so. The color spotter is incredibly useful. A round soft brush works well with the book. Keep going.>>8069398incredible progress anon keep going>>8069405You're doing fine. With time and mileage, everything else will come by itself. You're making steady progress. Maybe a self assessment of what you're practicing and how, would help, but don't be selfloathing.

>>8069345When are you going to make something man? Don't you want to make more than endless figures doing nothing in particular?
>>8069455This was my progress after 1 year of drawing. It's an old study from 2023. I don't think I ever did portrait copies after that. I'm not gonna pretend I mog you, your 2026 work is stronger but it's not the point. Skill to copy references mostly does not transfer to imagination drawings. Training to be a xerox, seeing angles, relative sizes and values in the corners of nostrils is a separate thing from being able to pull a simplified but convincing head shape from imagination at any angle. Back then I trained mostly precision and could copy core angles and outlines of the portrait from reference with 90%+ accuracy in first try. But when I tried to construct head from imagination my mind was completely blank. Only after I stopped thinking like a xerox and studied heads differently and did a lot of dogshit imagination drawings I could even begin to draw something resembling a head without a reference.

>>8069742Lmfao
>>8069747>>8069743Is been like this since forever what are you two even complaining about.
>>8069403I'm not great at it yet myself (see >>8069067 )but it honestly seems like the most important parts are the simplest and most obvious. Getting the right areas lit and with the right balance of soft and sharp edges seems to be like 50% or more of the battle, and those are exactly the two things I see the most inconsistencies with in your piece. I have some tips that I've picked up so far that seem to be working though, but keep in mind that I'm still an amateur like the majority of people here, so do your research and watch videos on all of these topics I'm touching on so you can internalize the advices from an actual professional.First would be to familiarize yourself with the different types of lights and shadows and how they look and feel. Occlusion shadows, core shadows, terminators, cast shadows, bounced light, highlights, etc. Things like how occlusion shadows happen in areas where surfaces touch and light has trouble reaching and are usually very dark, how the terminator line is often times darker than the core shadow itself, things like that. Bounced light is often very useful for realism from what I've observed, but you have to make sure that it makes sense, like red ambient light if the subject is in a red environment, or a soft and very light blue light if the subject is out during the day, things like that. Another cool thing that can look very good is subsurface scattering, but I have a lot of trouble with selecting the right colors and values for that myself so I can't really give you any advice in good conscience, but feel free to look into it after you've gotten a good grasp on the rest.
>>8069747But I imagine this is the case if your account isn't already tagged as NSFW, right?
>>8069747You just need to label it yourself

The cloth looks especially stif near the crotch area, you should try more of a 'c' curve to smooth out that janky area.The lighting is kind of all over the place and I'd recommend that your brush strokes follow the foorm more near the legs so it can emphasize what direction they're going. Also the fog magically not touching the shoulder armor is a little unsettling. Work on the knee armor more it's design is too simplistic. What you did with the torso armor is good because those leading lines emphasize the form . Also really measure and nail the thing on the back to make it look more professional, it's a bit wonky and I don't think the grey straps would look like that.Lastly the helmet hair, maybe let the hair flow with the wind to make it more lively. I like the vibe though she seems strong and determined and your precise shading on the face really helps that mood shine through, this piece has great potential hope you finish it.
