Begs are so cute! I like when they post their bad drawings asking for advices to get better but they don't have talent! I feel so bad for themEwww
>>8069940it wont die
I have no follow through, I art aimlessly
This one’s also done, a simpler version of the first bg from a different perspective. Kind of eh but the commissioner liked it!>>8069947Seems like you’re pretty focused in on nailing the torso! Good effort so far.

THREAD CHALLENGE
>>8069978This one was hard. I’d say when it comes to stuff like this just learn what’s necessary to approach the drawing and do the best you can- it doesn’t need to be anatomically perfect, but it at least needs to make sense. This is how I’d approach it
>>8069997Here’s a correction because the ulna can never cross the radius- always remember that the radius can only cross over the ulna, not the other way around.
>>8069997>>8069998thanks man
>>8070000No problem- at your level, just focus on making a lot of drawings- try not to focus more on progress rather than perfection. Good luck.
Hi, I'm the retard from the last thread. I decided as a result of repeated moral defeats, I am going to stop trying to make "art" per se and pour my drawing energy into making studies to fine-tune and recalibrate my style completely. See, 99% of my drawing practice is trying to make original art. That's it. I'll grind out a picture for a few days, and hope it isn't shit. Most of the time it is. So I'm going to "soft quit" on making art, and use that time instead to do studies of other art. I've already made a moodboard of art from artists that inspire me, and have already started on making copies of their work. Essentially, my plan is to completely rebuild my artistic style from the ground up, by making conscious decisions in what I want it to look like. Instead of my current strategy of just sort of letting it emerge by accident. I'm also going to make it a point to watch tutorials more regularly than I do. Like I watch art tutorials once and a while, but now I'm going to make sure I'm at least watching a few a week, or reading from the artbooks I have downloaded. ---Before anyone says, "yeah, you're planning this, but will you actually do it?" My answer to that is I already draw for 3 to 4 hours a day anyway. It's not that I have a problem finding motivation to draw or finding time to do it. I just need to recalibrate how I use that time more efficiently.It's not like I'm saying "I need to draw 4 hours a day instead of half an hour every other day." That would be a far bigger leap. Either way, it will take discipline. But if I slip up and draw shit again, I know you guys will hold my feet to the fire. You guys always keep it honest and keep it real with me, and even if it hurts sometimes, I appreciate it because I know I NEED to hear it.

>>8070049Wait, really? I've seen a couple of professional animators recommend tracing, but I thought it was mainly to increase speed of drawing the same thing over and over (for animation).And how do you know when you did well?Where do you get such high res manga pages? Lower res ones would work as well, right?

First time posting here (: i tried to find the beginner thread for ages and finally, i didwhile i'm technically not a beginner since i drew all my life, my level mostly stagnated as i din't train seriously enough. I recently (2 month ago) learned anatomy and perspective more seriously .The first and fourth drawings are drawings made 2 years ago, and the other two are redrawn versions made 2 weeks ago
>>8070195oops, forgot to put the file in the post. My bad, here are the drawings
tried to do some upper view perspective
i tried to experiment with different styles a bit , and got inspired by maya murals.
>>8070201
my oc (plus a random drawing)
>>8070196Make sure you use references
>>8070162>>8070163i always find it funny how you put the period at the end
The shaved sphere method is kicking my ass
>>8070196Kek. There's bad drawings, and then there's bad drawings that are good, endearing.This must be what a parent feels like when their child shows them his doodles.
>>8070218Lol, that's how it's used...
>>8070196Are those clouds or smog above the city on the left?
>>8070195>>8070196You are a beginner but that's ok. Abandon the box and cylinders you're using, it's not doing you any favors, and jump between short gestures and 10 minute figure drawing sessions. Use long confident lines, no short strokes.
>>8070196ohnonono aren't brazilkeks supposed to be innately talented??
>>8070112You have the art equivalent of ranked anxiety.You're too obsessed with winning on your first try. That's why you watched 1000 videos, that's why you practiced lines a thousand times.And when you didn't succeed on your first attempt, you saw that as a failure and went back to practicing lines and watching videos, getting nowhere.You need to fail as practice. You need to try to draw something you can't, and suck ass, over and over and over again.You learn from failing, you learn from mistakes, and art gives you infinite attempts to fuck up and retry. Stop practicing and preparing like art is hardcore one life only.Stop procrastinating pussy. Queue up ranked, go 0/10, get flamed, feel retarded, and queue up again. That's how you improve.When you feel like you're doing everything right yet the outcome still sucks, that's when you watch guides and videos. You compare what they're doing to what you've been doing, and learn from that.
What am i supposed to do to even start competing with GPT-sama?
>>8070249if you're drawing by your own hand then you're already better than AI regardless of quality
>>8070245not brazilian lmao, just jumped on the brazilian miku trend 2 years ago. But it's the beg thread after all, if i (we) were talented i wouldnt be here
>>8070230clouds (i think). the redrawing on the right is more recent , about 2 weeks old
>>8070228can you give critics on the redraw version please (of things that i can work on directly)
>>8070250Pretty weak claim really. I'm not 5 to be proud of every little thing i do with no help from grown ups.
>>8070249Well anon, it depends on what you're trying to achieve. The AI will carry over the flaws in your sketch: the muscle imbalance around the shoulders and neck, the floaty figure, the unnecessary detail in the pants, and the tangents in the hair. If you like the way AI renders your sketches, then improving the sketch itself is probably the most productive thing you can do.The downside is twofold. First, the less you draw yourself, the harder it becomes to develop an eye for the little things that make a drawing work. Second, AI isn't deterministic, so you won't get the same result every time, even with the same input.
Just picked up drawing and painting a couple months ago after not doing any kind of art for almost 20 years. I did the deer, its part of a background set piece for a local theatre.
>>8070258>almost an hour spent drawing this crap>sketchI will find you and I will kill you.
>>8070266>hyperfixating on the small details instead of looking at the bigger pictureyou won't get anywhere like that. do it again using quick, messy, long strokes. don't undo, just erase. focus on the overall flow of the lines instead of the tiny details. spend no more than 10 minutes on it.
how do you draw a low angle pose that shows the character towering over another? like that one good grief he's naked scene from spongebob?
>>8070249Stop tracing, learn basics of drawing like how to hold a pen and then move on to grinding fundies.
>>8070279Draw it from the side.
>>8070298what?
>>8070278On what exact step should i do long messy strokes and how will it help me?>>8070281stfu
art I did for /x/
>>8070305the image you want to draw - draw it from the side.
>>8070324but i tried everythingthing is i first put the vanishing point ok? then i stretch dem lines sideways from the top where the point is, then i do that X technique to find the pelvis but it's always so close to the head, too close
Rate my portraits. I need help with drawing mouths in this style, especially with teeth showing.
>>8070329not bad for a prebeg, potential is there
>>8070329wolf sir?
>>8070307are you the same anon?
>>8070346thanks. btw what is a prebeg? im new to this board so a bit out of the loop on all the lingo
>>8070156Shut the fuck up and draw you sound like a 13 year old girl

>>8070398Yeah. Just to make it clear, i drew the uncolored picture with no refs, loaded it into gpt and asked to redraw it "as if it was made by a pro".And now i tried to copy it. I don't know why.
>>8070404But the rest is good? Wow thanks anon.
>>8069978
>>8070320gemmy
>>8070435yeah that's my point, the rest is good, which is a shame, practice hands
>>8070454>the rest is goodYou needn't flatter me, anon.

>>8070491damn these reactions man
>>8070421Charming
Is there any ibis paint user?
>>8070045Today im trying to learn anatomy, i forgot how much i like it, somehow i ended up drawing fucking simpsons out of nowhere.
>>8070489:D
>>8070488Mid int, maybe high int if i see a background.
>>8069996Every time I tried to do a thread challenge I couldn't do it because I hate drawing anything I don't want to draw. is there anyway to get over it?
>>8070549Just consider the pose and apply it to whatever topic you are interested in, you like porn? Draw a dick getting in, you like comics? Draw a character in that pose, you like ....landscapes? I guess you can use the shape of the figure to draw a background of some kind, it doesnt have to be the figure with everything it comes with, just pick the pose and thats it, maybe you just like the face, then draw the face.
ok so i need to use ref at first until i get the hang of it and by it i mean drawing weird poses and perspective but what if i wanted a specific pose or angle or just didn't find a pose or angle no matter how much i search, what do i do then?
>>8070557download hale 3d (paid) and make whatever nigger pose you want
>>8070557draw a box
>>8070196You need to work on pretty much every fundamental and make a lot of drawings to get a ton of experience. Perspective and anatomy in particular need focus.Having said that you do have a kind of endearing style and a nice sense of composition for a beginner. The thing that you do best is visual narrative. All of these have an specific thing happening and a mood. You convey these things very well for the stage of the drawing process that you're in right now and I'd say you kind of show a talent for that particular aspect of drawing. Whenever you wanna challenge yourself and grow I advice you to make studies of Bridgman or any other such anatomy virtuoso and to do basic drawabox exercises. Whenever that shit gets stressing and wanna take refuge in your comfort zone (not a thing to be ashamed of, it happens) just draw mikus doing silly things or any other thing that tells a little story. You're effortlessly good at that.
What would you guys say is the fundie I need to get better at the most? and that isn't perspective/construction because I'm well aware and I plan to start studying that shit come march next year. I'm focusing exclusively on improving my anatomy until that date.

honest question, is trying to learn on an ipad a bad idea? I have done some pencil sketching but i seem to prefer the screen+paperlike cover. I like the control of the trad pencils but I'll i reach for the tablet more often than my sketchbook when i have a random doodle idea. obviously mileage matters more but i just want to make sure i dont fall into bad habits like ctrl-z addiction or morph tool (the latter i REALLY try to avoid)
>>8070043>>8070608Oh no no no no.

>>8070656>Like 2 hours>2 hours for thatMust feel nice being talented. Sad.
Today i got filtered by the side of the torso, i cant understand it.
>>8070662umm sweetie have you tried having talent?
>>8070663What an annoying nigger.
Mostly muddy garbage but ive abandoned the whole loomis head, start with a box, blah blah bullshit and wow it's so much more fun to draw this way. Been trying to force myself into very structural drawings and its just misery the entire time. I like this alot more but I really need to work on my eye and measuring things out proper. It's def still /beg/ but I didnt hate doing it so I reckon that's progress.
>>8069996>>8070595composition and values
>>8070662>Cant draw the side of the torso>Arguably the easiest>>>8070608>Perfect muscular torso in 5 point perspective from tricky pov straight out of the wombJust ask Megasch_ for help. He seems to have it all sorted out already thanks to his prodigy tier talent
Any advice on how to improve my values? I have kind of an idea on how to improve my composition skills (just use composition schemes and concepts as often as possible until I start to "get it") but values are a thing I just dont get and that I dont even get how to practice. I understand it has something to do with tridimentional thinking though (therefore I'm likely weak in that area too) anyway what did you do to gitgud at values? That drawing is stylish as fuck btw.
>>8070679meant for >>8070671
>>8070045>>8070537>>8070617There was this anon who drew very hung /ss/ and your artstyle reminds me a lot of him. Do you know him by any chance?
>>8069936Today’s anatomy studies. Got cut off early because I did them with my left hand (right handed) so I’m working on doing simpler things with my left hand- it’s a lot harder than I thought but I’m glad that I’m starting it now. Drawings came out better than I thought but I have a long way to go with my left hand still

>>8070710Pyw, I’ll give you some crit
>>8070713No. Everyone laughs at me because I am permabeg.
>>8070713Nta but crit is worthless.
>>8070717lol no it isn’t >>8070714I won’t laugh at you
>>8069996went pretty experimental with this one. Shouldve made another layer for actually doing lineart; its just been so long since I've done that I forgot. I don't even know how to make anything clean anymore, in my pursuit of drawing from imagination, I've neglected the most important aspect of art: appeal.Actually no. Im certain this couldve been saved even without that. I got the shoulders/neck, arms, and the waist completely wrong. My biggest problem with this one was going for the details too early. Granted I didn't spend too long on this, so its no big deal. I wash my hands of it.
I don't deserve to be in the OPMore comm wips, >>8070698This is quite good, but I think the perspective/form is not matching from her groin/legs to her abdomen? There should be some curve there I believe.

Im on average practicing 6 hours every day, i think im getting better i saw some videos saying that the way to improve is allways getting unconfortable drawing those you things you cant draw well, for me is figures in perspective and backgrounds, im also practicing anatomy but i kind of like doing that, how many hours do you guys spend per day drawing? Did you get better?
>>8070753Do you have talent?
>>8070753I spend maybe 20 minutes per day max atmoccasionally I improve, but that's only because the bar is so low and even then it's always fleeting
>>8070632>>8070627>>8070608the foreshortening on the leg and perspective of the bg/trees look like ass though

Starting to think I have warhammer pariah gene the way my works always get completely ignored.
>>8070771You are just talentless.
>>8070771I know that feel though I did get a single (you) on my drawing from a rather helpful anon. Whats your post? I'll see if I have something to say about it tomorrow
>>8069996>>8070551I was having issues until I read about anon saying to apply what you like so I just did a short stack and was able to put some of the pieces together kinda sorta.

>>8070781Good to see you try it.
>>8070588>4chanthanks for the honst review anon ! the second and third drawings are the ones i did two weeks ago, do you have advices for the anatomy maybe ?
Tried to redraw a somewhat older drawing of an oc i did about 5 month ago (no it's not a bibisi spade on her left arm)
>>8070822
>>8070608how much reference do you usually use in your drawings? A lot? Little?P.S: please make her pussy really detailed.
>>8070826It looks like he used a 3d model as reference.
>>8070767cute hihihihi also thanskies >333
>>8070753pyw
>>80707536 hours a day practicing is huge, you're on the right track .personally i would say that since i locked in i spend more or less 2 hours practicing (depend, someday i'm too stressed to do it)
older drawing (think i made it around 6 month ago) but i thought it was funny so here i go.
>>8070871thanksies?
>>8070885(i don't have a racial cuck fetish please don't jump me)
I haven't gotten to the part of the book where they teach bodies, much less cat bodies, so I had to wing it.

>>8070898wtf. I can see it. So this is the power of Boxes?
>>8070906>BoxesVery helpful yes. Unless you do more dynamic poses. Then it's more complicated.
>>8070608Given the implied foreshortening between the head and the boobs, I feel like the lower body should come forward way more, unless she's meant to be a shortstack, in which case I'm retarded.I'm not fully satisfied with my transform edit either and I probably made errors, but just to illustrate what I mean. Somebody else could probably redline it properly.
>>8070757I would enjoy watching you do your daily doodles, friend.Keep at it!Ganbatte!

Blackpilled even from how impossible this looks
>>8070608>12 replies>Most get at most a Peril reply
i was gone for a while and came back, you are seriously telling me the talent schitzo is still here?
>>8070608The face and body look fantastic. The hands and foreshortening on the legs is holding the image back.I notice you struggle with hands and feet with your other work as well, it's definitely a challenge but dude, you'd be God tier if you can get decent at those two things.
>>8070869A-are those lines... CONNECTED??? AAAAAYYYYEEEEEEEEE
>>8070049>>8070159I would like a reply.
>>8070935nta what do you mean? are you supposed to draw lines a particular way?
>>8070936Ok. Here's your (you). Eat up piggy!
>>8070937If I'm not mistaken, that's Trex's work, who's a bit infamous here for never connecting his lines.
>>8070937>>8070939It's a joke.
every time i feel like giving up i tell myself that i could miss out on getting good and that i would be telling myself "if i didnt stop back then id be a master now" and then resume practicing normally instead of stoppingbut like it's hard man, progress is slow, it's there but very fucking slow. what do you do to get better faster?
>>8070943There is no reason to get better. Nobody will care about it anyway. I just draw when I feel like it. It's just entertainment to me. If I don't feel like entertaining myself then so be it.
>>8070946but i want to get better, i am sick of only so and so art
>>8070947>>8070943Sucks not being a prodigy like Megasch_. Do you even get comms?
>>8070953anon don't use me for your shcitzo nonsense i asked for help
r8 render so far
>>8070920size of that hand looked okay to you?
ive never watched a tutorial or a YouTube video or any instruction on how to drawis it actually worth doing and will it make. difference in any meaningful way
>>8070928At least 6 are schizo samefag
>>8070977Videos > books.
>>8070973such a strange lookin fella
>>8070973How many boxes did you use to construct that?
>>8070974it did, but now i have to fix it thanks!
>>8070826Used to be a lot but nowadays a little. I think it kinda shows in this one because she's meant to be relaxing but she looks kinda stiff.>>8070921Hmm, I see what you mean. I wonder if I can pull it off without making her look super long though. I'll experiment. Thank you!>>8070934Yeah I've been telling myself I'll do a study on hands for months now lol. Maybe this weekend will finally be the one. As for the foreshortening, that stuff's just really hard, but I'll see if I can't fix it today or tomorrow. Might have to redraw a good chunk of it. And thank you!

>>8070994Megasch is a mere prophet, Dermont is a God.
>>8070990>for months now lolYou havent even been drawing for "months". Shut the fuck up you fucking humblebragging talented rat.You dont even study in any significant measure because everything is fucking handed to you
>>8070995>That beg can barely copy from a reference>Megash_ is drawing muscle mommy futa twitter hits blind no ref 360 no scope barely a year drawing and mograping begtroon dalits like cheese, pxg and rein.
>>8070957Pretty good.
>>8070974She's in a Yaoi manga
>>8070977In my experienced it's a mixed bag. Sometimes they go straight to the point giving you the most important information in a condensed form with really good examples, but other times they ramble too much and teach you nothing while providing no examples or giving shitty examples.
are the boogeyman gone?i took a 2 month break from this place
>>8071012No. You're gonna need to take a longer break.
just watch look back
>>8070551drawing dicks and sex works for me. I don't know why I would sacrifice fun for drawing things I don't really want to.
>>8070898any advice to hide my loli trad drawings from everyone? I don't want to get arrested.
>>8069936any guide on how to paint hands and feet?
>>8071017So because I can never reach the skill of a super talented neet like Megasch_ i should hope he gets axed by a random schizo? The whole message of it was that Fujino didnt have the talent to catch up with the super talented Kyomoto and not even her murder solved the jealously.
>>8071019Tell them you're a part of the Epstein elite. They'll understand and look the other way.
>>8071012>>8071016In those two months Megasch_ jumped from mid beg to low int.
>>8071020sinix design
A Megasch just flew over my house!
>>8071023>>8071012who is that?
>>8071026>>8070608Barely 1 year drawing and already mogging this general's regulars. He could dethrone greats like Eigaka or Krekkov in barely another year if he keeps up this insane growth.
>>8070608>>8071027what is his oold drawings look like?v 9090
>>8071028https://warosu.org/ic/thread/7928609#p7930826A prodigy
>>8070608why niga has BILLIONs of (You)s????I HAVE NON LIKE 0 (You)s
>>8071021The message is that it is OKAY to just be as good as you are. You are not supposed to consume your life over it.:}
>>8071030Are you a newfag? We have seen him go from beg to int in a single year. He didnt even go through prebeg phase that many here are stuck in so all of us are amazed by how talented and great he is and cant wait to see what is next for a prodigy like him. You think otherwise? Tell me a single other anon who is at his level? None and everyone else has way more years drawing than him. Just compare his sublime drawings next to pxg's symbol drawn slop for starters.
>>8071033pxg?
>>8070608I need Yous like this guy
>>8070608just adding another (You) for no reason
>>8070920Obviously wonky as hell but kino+soul+mogs me
>>8070980Anybody recommend videos for a gross cartoon-y style? Ren and Stimpy is my inspiration.
Thoughts?
>>8071041And prayers.
>>8070608Be honest with me bros. Is it even possible to reach this level as a untalented prebeg starting from 0 if I have low or average talent? How much time would it take me to do what it took mega a year? He draws heads in ways that no other anons cant and I dont know if it is possible for a beg outside of tracing models even though he can manage without reference.
>>8071041I rate you one hundredth of a Mega.
>>8070608>>8071043don't be delusional it's just a 1 good drawing he made bet other drawing look like shit
filter bingo
>>8071046what this does mean?
>>8070608too long pussy ! could perspective moremaybe not as wide as >>8070921 but yea, the knee near should bigger then the further one >(you)
so what are the odds on it being himself being an annoying samefag, or someone else being an annoying samefag in a vague attempt to crab him out of this general
>>8071031nta some don't want to just ok though
>>8071053to be just ok*
>>8071053Well tough shit. If you want what's different than reality you will suffer.
>>8071056if you want to improve you will suffer? well yeah that's the whole deal other wise anyone would be a master at something, you need to put the time
>>8071057Practice earnestly with acceptance of who you are and what you can do, without gaining thoughts
>>8071058and?
>>8071052obsessive schizo is obsessivehappens all the time
>>8071043You'll get there, you need to work hard. It takes more than a year to get towards a level like that, I wouldn't be impressed at his progress, Hes been drawing for much longer than people are claiming. And its easy to tell he's not the level he wants people to think he is, He has incredibly scratchy lines, the gesture of the figure is stiff, he traced it from a 3d model, the hand is horrible, and see how the other hand is hidden (avoiding drawing hands is a sign of a low quality and beginner artist). And notice how the background sketch drops in quality compared to the figure since it wasn't traced. Its nothing impressive.
>>8071059and whatThat's life
>>8069936Do you guys like using unusual mediums from time to time?
>>8071066like would that make one better? at doing the thing they're doing i mean
>>8071067sometimes a whiteboard
>>8071071>like would that make one betterThat's a gaining thought
>>8070923lol thankshere's my dog in three viewssitting one is kind of fucked tho
>>8071077what?
where my chooms pooge, lagooner and paul at
>>8070712you guys convince me that some people just can't draw, like it's something internal, cause how the fuck do you see a single curve anbd draw two wonky lines, all you had to do was make a single line at least, but for some reason you didn't even do that right
>>8071019Sketchbooks and then hide them well or lock them away.
>>8070159the original resolution allows you to see exactly the type of stroke they make, making it possible to replicate it with the Clip Studio gpen>whereexhentai and pixiv
>>8071082in my Discord
>>8071052I'm not even sure why anon hypes him up that much, when he's still very much figuring out his craft. Mega drawing anime muscle girls is a very specific niche that not a lot of people are drawing, so it makes him stand out more.Secondly, just because he's improving now doesn't mean he'll keep improving in the future, because different problems require different types of thinking and complexity. Progress in learning real skills isn't always linear. For example, even the other Brazilian anime foot guy this guy used to glaze hit a wall after a point when he stopped getting feedback as regularly.I'm not saying this to be demeaning or dismiss anyone here, but I feel like he's just projecting his feelings of the other Brazilian guy onto this one as an excuse to shit on everyone else. Personally I find this strange even though people like Rein and Russia are more experienced and skilled than mega in their respective niches. I wanted to state is just my opinion though, and I felt the need to say this because I feel like the overall quality of discussion here has become much lower of quality and removed from the original spirit they used to have.
>>8071083We have known for a while that untalented permabegs exist but people refuse to believe it and keep deluding themselves thinking that stagnating begs like raxav, pxg, cheese or trex and prodigies like @Megasch_ have the same potential when we all see the stark difference. Even Megasch_ himself admits that he gets off from the comparisons because he knows just how much more talented he is than the rabble.
>>8071095dont lie to me.
>>8071052The latter. The schizo did the same thing to Rein a few months back. It's the same typing style too, which has been a plague of this general for fucking years.
i filled up like 7 sketchbooks and even though i improved i am still not greatis there a button i am not pushing?
>>8071114Nope! You're doing great , there is no secret knowledge. If you're consistently feeling disappointed at this point, I may strongly urge you to seek an artist or teacher to personally mentor you to grow farther and faster in your development.
>>8071040Unironically Loomis's book
>third of the thread is devoted to vendetta faggotryDo we not have mods on this fucking board? Or do they only show up when someone draws a naked loli or furry?
>>8071114You could fill 7 sketchbooks in 1 day if you just scribbled over the pages. I think what makes great artists great is that they always push themselves to get better. They always learn new things and finish bigger drawings. They just have great work ethic.
>>8071120Bingo. Do you understand why people eventually leave or lurk?
>>8071107well, I guess lagoona doesnt talk to me anymore so that one was a lie
>>8071114>did improveso whatever you are doing is working
>>8071117>there is no secret knowledgeNo but there are secret brain functions. Some people just have the right brain to be good artists. They are so talented that they already can draw at a professional level during highschool. It's not somethign you can learn. They just have a better feel for forms and perspective and anatomy.
>>8071129Like Mega.
>>8071114>is there a button i am not pushing?The button is in Portuguese.
>someone shows up with good drawings>they say they have only a month of drawing (deliberately hiding experiences from childhood and adolescence)>schizo becomes obsessedI think I've seen that at least 5 times now
>>8071135We have seen @Megasch_ from mid beg however.
>>8071127why even talk in the first place i stg icl
where is my (You)? pls can anyone guess what is my drawing and give me a (You)?
>>8071138Are you Mega? So no (you)s for you
>>8071121i dont do just scribbles but i dont know how to get better fast or the next big steps>>8071128but slowly and now it's almost a halt
>>8071138nobody (You)'d me, which means you didn't (You) me, so why should (You) you?
>>8071106Russia is better than mega though. Hell, we still have Simon on this board but they doesn't get as many yous because everyone is used to seeing them.
>>8071101>just because he's improving now doesn't mean he'll keep improving in the future:(You're right though, especially about the Russian and French friends. Both are significantly more experienced and overall better than me (and I would really like to get in touch with both so we can learn together) and yet they receive comparatively little attention. I think it's important to point this out in this situation because the focus on me is really just a facade by one or two people and I don't want anyone to get discouraged or annoyed because of them. Anyway I suck at talking so just don't pay them any attention.Also, does anybody remember that one guy that used to draw in pink/magenta? By far the best artist I've seen here. Would really like to have him back.
>>8071145Russia has been drawing for 8 years, Mega 8 monthsJust give him a year and he'll be pro
>>8071145Russia doesnt get as much attention because he got good due to hard work and not Talent
I miss shark-kun...
>>8071147Purple anon easily death mogged the entire beg thread (deservingly if his claims about drawing for 6-8 hours per day were true) and his loss was the greatest tragedy for this board in recent memory
>>8071123The mod is a permabeg schizo im pretty sure.
I just saw his twitter, is he really getting glazed by the schizo this much ONLY because he got 2k likes on a drawing? Can the mod do something please, they just let crabs ruin everything for some reason.
>>8071138it's strange, i got so many (You)s when i started posting few months ago, but not anymore. it's almost like i'm not anonymous and have been shadowbanned due to being a bad boy
>>8071080I think your dog is giving me bedroom eyes
>>8071138Fuck (You), I haven't gotten a (You) in like 3 threads
>>8071181>>8071185you're telling me they can shadow ban posts with images? FUCK YOU MODS why???? I did some trolling but that? plsss
maybe one day I'll have the stamina and inclination to actually study and improveI'm jealous of autistic people, they're much better at this than us normal people>>8071183yiff in hell etc
>>8071189you're autistic
>>8071191no I'm not
>>8071211nice fabric
>>8071211Dunno how I forgot this thing>>8071216Thanks
i think i prefer the bw version myself, although the celshaded one is probably more readable
>>8071242
I give up. I like playing video games more than art.
>>8071264Videogames are just misery too when you get older. Everything is misery and if you have no willpower you won't get anywhere in it.
>>8071019Use encrypted volumes and delete cache+thumbnails regularly.
>>8071067Yes.
>>8071083What two wonky lines are you referring to? I can't see.That said, I drew the torso too wide so I used transform tool and didn't bother to fix the broken lines.
>>8071092Got it, thanks!
Been doing this KyuYong Eom study today and yesterday, to focus on character drawing/rendering. I'll call it here so I can work on other stuff now. I did better than I thought I would honestly, but it's obviously far from perfect.I have no clue how he got some of the textures (like on the pants) and skin tones exactly like he did.
i think i am permabeg and will suck forever but i don't want to stop drawing anyway so how do i learn to be okay with that. i enjoy drawing but im just permanently prebeg
>>8071275at least you get the hype when new games release, the honeymoon phasewith art, it's always misery. fuck it
>>8071294bro is using AI for refs lol
>>8071294bro there are countless official references for sakura and even production materials online and you're using AIslop as a reference??
>>8071294not bad
copy studies. I've gotten bored of doing these>>8070957looks rizdraws-y, is that who you're studying>>8069988very appealing brushwork>>8069996why did this challenge in particular gather so many (you)s. lots of great interpretations too
>>8071290Pretty good. Most textures aren't applied by hand but through gradient/brush from online assets/materials made by other people.
>>8071294>with art, it's always misery. fuck itIf you get good enough with art then you can create your own visions with it.With videogames you are always just playing the vision of other people.Art can be fun. You just need patience and willpower for it. I personally don't even care about modern games. To me videogames kind of died when arcades died and americans took over.
>>8069996Normally I would do another pass based on the vey rough sketch, but honestly I don't feel like it.
>>8071141>i dont do just scribbles but i dont know how to get better fast or the next big stepsIt depends on what your goal is. Do you want to be good at drawing from imagination? Then you have to learn a lot of anatomy. That's the most crucial part. Draw a lot from references to build a visual library. Brainstorm what you would like to draw and then simply draw it. I recommend copying with a brush pen. It's less tedious and more fun than precise pencil drawings and you still learn the basic shapes with it.
I want to feel something more than just defeat.
>>8071311Neck too long. Shoulder too wide.
>>8071313ok that's goodthanks
>>8071298>>8071301>nigga googles sakura what she looks like>pics the first thing he sees (it looks like the original)>oh nooooo this is AI why why whyStop being faggots
>>8071317Before anatomy you still have to understand perspective tho. But I guess you already do that after 7 sketchbooks. But yea memorizing anatomy is the most difficult thing about drawing from imagination
>>8071304How long did it take you to do all these copies? It takes me 1-2 hours just for lineart. 2-3 hours for color, shadows and lights.
nnn coming
I'm gonna make a bestiality drawing of this once I get the skills.Surely.One day I'll get the skills.
>>8071322funny thing it's only recently that i started working with prespective
>>8071327takes me around the same time to make a decent copy. for me it's the inverse though, takes longer to construct and draw lines that look similar to the ones on the ref. coloring is fast due to me picking refs with little to no rendering haha
When I use liquify in Krita, lines become all blurry and ugly, but that doesn't happen in CSP
>>8071337I see, thanks.
>>8071328Unggg. Pure fucking sex.
>>8071318>it looks like the originallmaooo lil bro never even seen the original and is larping
Does anyone else here unintentionally hold their breath when they draw?
>>8071346you're too tense, probably affects your drawings too. relax lol it's not a ranked game
>>8071346yeah and I make the same expressions I'm drawing without meaning too
>>8071346No, but I think I'm accidentally inhaling when I'm eating food and that's why lately food gets stuck in my throat. It's fucking annoying, and sometimes painful too.Nothing to do with your question, but I wanted to say it. Fuck you.
>>8071346I used to do this, but I felt that it did little to actually help steady myself, I get better results just giving my arm the right support or fixing posture.
>>8069945pyw
>>8069996not again.......One day a new thread challenger shall emerge.Maybe it must be me.
>>8071338It happens in my csp
>>8071376Here's my chibi face
>>8071388Lol, looks closer to a furry face.
Today's copy.
>>8071430you forgot the tea cup 0/10
>>8070753I never bothered learning construction and i think its time to start learning that damm thing.
>>8069996an opportunity to draw my first Malfoid.Was fun!
>>8071346I do this. Crazy how involved I am in the process, while still being so bad.
>>8071316shoulder not wide enough.She (?) is a wide one.
>>8071019move to a country with freedoms.Arrests over drawings is really strange, but who'd have the balls to go against such hysteric laws?
>>8070702Should have looked into colour a bit sooner.
>>8071318low cognitive resolution retard>>8071304why are you copying artists barely better than you? aim higher?
played some games after a longass shift, so almost no drawing time today. Ill do a lot more tomorrow for realsies>>8070767thanks, but wdym by refs? Like in general? Anyways, your figs are erotic as ever.
>>8071189would pick mushrooms for him/10>>8071457I need to get on this grindset>>8070702>>8071475cute!
I CANT FUCKING DRAW. GOD MADE ME TALENTLESS.
>>8071430looks good, now draw me a completely different pose/action with a completely different character using no ref.
>>8071304Very nice copies. When are you drawing something original?
i really wanted feedbacks on this drawing. I used a reference for this one, wich is something i only recently started doing (wich explain why i stayed a pre beg for years)
>>8071534your artstyle would be really cute for drawing erotic manga ngl
>>8071517DRAW THE HANDS ANON otherwise you'll be stuck drawing shitty hands for years
>>8071488nice. i likes the runner woman reference . the right side girl have a dorito head tho
>>8071475what brush do you use ?
>>8071454So all good besides that, thanks.>>8071530>looks goodThanks!>now draw meNo.>>8071488The left one made me kek.>>8071534Very cute.
>>8071328absolutely not I will keep busting to your work throughout the whole month
can you show mommy your latest drawings, dear?
>>8071573._.
>>8071573>>8071430
>>8071541Is the orange part supposed to be lighting? I don't know what you were going for with that
undressing is fun
>>8071501Thanks.>>8071547If you mean lines, it's scan.Colour is just default CSP ones and eraser.
>>8071298>>8071301Google gave me this, while pinterest gave me that.
Even the shittiest drawing got a (You)
>>8071587The orange part is suposed to be her skin color in "neutral" lighting and the blueish part is suposed to be the shadow, but i fuess that i probably fucked it up. What can i change ?
It's so fucking hurt see no one replying to my drawing. it's feel like somekind of invisible insult aaaaaahherrrr
>>8071649what's your drawing
>>8071649You're not Mega, you don't deserve a (You)
>>8071655They never tell you. They just bitch about lack of (you)s and expect people to know exactly who the artist is, despite so many others also not getting (you)s.
>>8071662its called "maga" dumbass
AHHHH I DON"T WANT TO DRAW ANYMORE
>>8071665Shut up, migger.
>>8071663If I ain't getting (You) I do thus >>8071668
>>8071668Me too, I'm thinking about stop drawing and going to work with my parents.
thoughts on my NSFW attempt
That (You) beggar still here?
>>8071665*MIGA
tried drawing a one wheeled tank thing but dont know how to draw the treadstried drawing a tractor robotic armed thing but gave up on the robo arms, they are supposed to be there "flexing" any books or such for mechs and robots and tanks etc?
>>8071642Damn, mine isn't the shittiest!It's looking up!
>>8071649Now every (you)-less drawing is under suspicion to belong to a mentally unstable estrogenized pansy.
>>8071698probably Paige doing it
got inspired by multiples 3 colors only drawing and tried it myself. Unsure , what should i change ?
>>8071700
>>8071679>>8071679i can't read what it sayother than that nice
>>8071701I like the Aztec aesthetic. Beg looking but that's par the course here. Keep drawing.
>>8071697my vehicles aren't that bad :(
new thread>but it's too soon...fuck you I want my drawing in the collage>>8071718>>8071718>>8071718
>>8071705thanks , i actually took a Easter Island native as a reference pic for this one (wich is ironic since i actually draw aztecs most of the times) !you have any critics about what i could change rn about the drawing ?
>>8071573Today's copy. It's still early so I'll try to do another.>>8071719There's still 170 images left to reach limit and we're on page 5. Why make another thread?
>>8071725I just explained why
>>8071726Ah I see, kek
Another "older" drawing i did more or less 5 monnth ago.
>>8071732
>>8071663There is no point in telling, the work is already in this thread right now and it's already getting completely ignored. Do you think a pitty (You) changes anything? Or attracting some crab or schizo to it will make it better? Just reply to works that got ignored if you want to reply to my work. You won't.
>>8071720It's a figure drawing issue. The drawing in of itself isn't good looking because the figure is beginner looking. Not an insult, but an observation, best advice is to literally keep drawing, and add gestures and long timed figure croquis to your daily routine. After six to twelve months of nonstop hourly drawing per day, pick up literally any anatomy book and add a session of muscles, its insertions to the bone placement and form to your daily routine.
>>8071741thanks, that helpful
>>8071719>the early thread schizo is at it again
>>8071641Really likes the two different textures, how did you do it ? her left foot looks kinda fucked tho
>>8071597her hip region looks weird other than that good work
>>8071577titties. Nice
>>8071775Thanks. I think I see what you mean. I'll keep that in mind next time.
>>8071774i make some simple patterns separately, then use transparent selection to superimpose them, testing what works for me. and yes, always struggling with anatomy t.t
>>8071789what ever ur doing it's awsome
>>8071735look like something from idk lesbian space princess
>>8071719>puts the persona meme inon top of being a retarded early baker you're also a newfagthis is why this general is garbage now
