i didnt even know it was possible to delete ops
thread maker, you are appreciated
>>86166885Yeah, you can delete your own posts after all. There's a time window for it but you can indeed do it.>>86166890T-Thanks.
>>86166885Though it's off balance, it looks like one of those "leaning forward judging you" poses you would find in a cartoon.
i really need to do moree gestures
any /dig/ around?
fuck i've been slacking so hard
hello anons
>>86168968Quickposes will always be there for you.
>>86169452Cute doe.
Thanks to whoever answered my question in the last thread about how to draw this gesture.
>>86172179That was me. Hi. Sorry if the pelvis part isn't super accurate.
How some anons can nearly post daily? What are you taking?
>>86173734I like drawing and want to get better
>>86173734its easier if youre not drawing self indulgent fetish porn, other people's ocs or using revenge porn/ai sloppa pics as inspiration so you can post without fear
What is a good balance between just-drawing and practicing fundamentals?
>>86174182Whatever you can tolerate
>>86166731We live again
>Realize that multiple refs have clothes >Can't draw them>Or even the fucking bodyGenuine question, is it worthy to at least try to sometime do gesture/trying to understand how clothes work even if it isn't the principal subject of study or its just a bad idea?
>>86175769Drapery is a subject matter in and of itself for a reason. Even if you wanna draw most of your characters nude, having some fabric in the scene or even some very revealing clothes on your characters can do wonders for making things more interesting both for the viewer and the artist, so yes, learning at least the bare-bones basics of depicting cloth is well worth the effort.
>>86169452damn dude you've got those pencil settings fucking locked inalso cute deer
i practiced today BUT I WON'T SHOW YOU
>>86178851Then why did you tell me?
>>86179139wanted to vaguepost as a treat. i'll show it when i can make something that looks ok
>>86178851wtf i dont remember making this post
I'm making something today and I will show you later
>>86179861you good slime?
Gay.>>86169452Not gay. Very good deer. I very much enjoy the limb exaggeration including the ears.
>>86182423i appreciate these even if they're just posted to bump the thread, i save every single one
>>86175769If you can't draw the body you probably shouldn't touch drapery. You're free to do whatever, but you're putting the cart before the horse.
>>86183538I'm just glad that they have value to someone.
>>86178851ok
>>86170270hello
>>86188387Why isn't he green?
>>86188445because he's yellow
nothing I Draw will ever be good enough.
>>86189333why do y think that
>>86189361because my art is not good as people say it is and im not able to draw what i actually want to draw, ive just gotten really goo at drawing the same stuff over and over
>>86189404have you tried drawing different subject matter?
After taking a week and some off of drawing to kind of recenter myself I'm back with some variety drawls
>>86190221you're getting better
>>86190221What is this supposed to be?Nice hands btw.
who up drawin they draws
>>86192917just note taking
im wondering which brushes to use to get a result similar to the one in the rightthat and i was wondering how do you guys know which color to use for flats? i often see that people use a darker color that the one is used in the finished product, thanks in advance.
>>86192917Boxes (kill me) and sometime gesture or trying to copy drawing as a little treat.
>>86194091pelvis looks good. What are you trying to study?
>>86194214Nothing especially, I just wanted to do something other than boxes
>>86194606Don't just draw boxes and don't draw aimlessly. You should pair your studies with drawing stuff you want to
>>86195179Maybe later, I really need to re-learn some basics first
>>86191817Looks a bit like the head of an old skool fountain pen, but could also be some sort of fantasy wrist blade.
>>86191817Nothing in particular, I was just looking at bits and pieces from robots and stuff and liked how General Grievous' arms looked.
>>86193720Looks like something you could do with just your standard hard round brush, maybe with some blurring and blending at strategic spots, but I'm no expert in rendering so I could be wrong.As for the value of the flat colors, depends on if you want to render the piece and whether you want to work from shadow to light or vice versa. A darker base color for the flats suggests the former approach, where you add a couple of layers of lighter color and one darker to create a four-shade value range.
Today it's mummy. I had no clue how to make these interesting in the slightest. Ohh well who cares
Last years were by far better. Did I regress? No It can't be, I'm never in the wrong
I wish i had more confidence in myself and my art endeavors
>>86197372Just bee yourself
>>86197486if i wasn't shit, that wouldn't be a probl;em
>>86197528You just need to give less of a fuck. Confidence is a deciding factor in success
>>86172269Steven Michael Hampton is actually quite good. I just realized I watched one of his tutorials long ago.
>>86199019Glad i could be of some use. Josh black is also a really good one. I've been binging alot of his lectures and videos in my downtime and he's pretty good at showing how he transfers gesture to structure
more bad art from mehttps://files.catbox.moe/r8ydkd.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/012am6.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/j3szka.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/fp3fme.png
>>86201106>>86202748That's fucking good anon
>>86196583I want a tootsie pop
>>86166731Partially inspired by Hoopa and Yakumo Yukari, I tried at sketching a spacegoat. The anatomy is fucked because I couldn't focus with all the noise at the time.Any suggestions on how to improve him would be appreciated, thank you
Sometimes I subconsciously feel that using references is plagiarism
>>86208748It's not. You're going to give someone a complex.Plagiarism is plagiarism. Those are two whole different words, man.
>>86203199thank you anon. trying to keep some consistent practices
>>86210024Keep it up. Nta, but this is solid studies
late night chilling and drawing
some more random variety drawin
>>86211762What resource did you use to learn to draw boobs?
Blind leading the blind
>>86178851I picked up a pencil to draw for the first time since I was in elementary school and drew for 20 hours this week but everything looks so fucking bad I refuse to show it
>>86214624We may be able to help with directions
>>86214624>picked up a pencil to draw for the first time since I was in elementary school>but everything looks so fucking bad I refuse to show itsame but like two months agoif it helps remember we're all just anon
>>86214624Can't be worse than me. Seven months of drawing and eating glue for nothing.
>>86214624you cant really expect help if you wont show us the work you want us to help with, but hey, i understand. As the anon above said, we're all anonymous, and most of the people here wont care about your skill level at all.
>>86213214looking at a fuckton of porn and copying the kinds of tits I liked the most
>>86214624You wouldn't get much worthwhile feedback even if you did since it would be 'learn/practice everything' but next month you better post something
>>86184540>If you can't draw the body you probably shouldn't touch draperyWell some refs in sketchdaily have clothes or draperies. So like I just skip them or at least give a try? I generally do 10 poses with 1 minutes and try to do a 5 minutes pose
>>86217291I'll always say to give it a try, but if you find them distracting alot of time out of you or if you're a super beginner, there are other more important things to work on that would help you improve quicker, but then again, if you're a super beginner, just drawing almost anything will help you improve
>>86218208Anon, I won't sugar coat it, I am on my seventh month of drawing and I still can't draw a body.
>>86214624That's fine, the first page of my sketchbook looks like this. I drew a Sonic The Hedgehog so bad that I found it embarrassing. You'll get better with direction, feedback and time. Keeping it to yourself will do more harm than good.
>>86218375All good. I'm on my fifth year and I barely can either.
>>86218375In months 6-12, just try to establish a consistent relationship with the hobby. Like actually make sure you spend enough time doing it every week. That and line control and being able to draw 3d objects, organic shaped ones as well. It sounds like alot, but i promise it isn't. But really, you're doing just fine!
>>86218375Have you tried learning the basics of construction?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtEtZ98_JAA&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D
>>8621915915 to 30 minutes in general, I can push to 1-2 hours max at night when not working.>>86220105For now I try to follow Hampton yt vids and his book, I did glance quickly on how he do construction but clearly I am not skilled enough
>>86225021That's enough time to see ateong skill gains if you remain consistent. Keep up the busy work.

FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYYY NIGHT
hello?
>can't drawOR>can draw but can't into ideas
>>86228949hope everybody else is doing good with their art because i spent like an hour in blender trying to get the basic forms of a sculpt right and haven't done much else since then>>86230853former for me. i have so many fucking ideas that i need to eventually make but i'm not there yet
>>86230853
>>86230897Yeah.Yeah...
making a comicor trying to anyway
Spent longer than I would have liked on these but I like how they turned out so I guess thats fine
Clothes are hard. Pepper was supposed to be in Mina's coat, but it's just a plain old coat without color. Maybe I'll go back and add accessories and stuff later, but I'm just not feeling "it" still.Was thinking of having her dress up as Freya, too.>>86234236Cute. We seem to have similar drawing/posting schedules.
>>86234236spooky
morning
>>86166885what an odd sheet. firstly there’s plenty of poses where neck is nowhere near over support region. what you actually are concerned about is the sum of all forces, which means heavy asses and gold bars will have more sway than ears or noses. wind could be a factor too, that’s a force. also odd that it mentions “held pose” but then includes dancingthis feels like something one would pump out for daily social media post
>>86206377>tried at*tried my hand atNot sure why I can never type properly on 4chan
>>86237921gm
Quick nonsense bump before work.
>>86245771Are gachas literally the best inspiration for getting better at art?I think most of my art this year has been gacha-related.
>>86245924Maybe I should start drawing gacha girls...
I won't draw gacha
I will draw gacha.
>>86245924i was going to say i never drew gacha but i kinda do.huh
Hey dig
I should draw before it's too late.
>>86254209too late for what
>>86254241Before the day ends.
Didnt do shit all tonight until I had a sudden flash of inspiration so I didnt do nearly as much as I would have wanted for the night.
>>86255935looks really cool. Keep going.
my brain is hurting me again
Once again late night drawing.
>>86258697did i type this?
