Stop. Draw this hand. You should be able to do this.

Is that a small wrist, or am I crazy?

Read the sticky.
I think i got the basic likeness
Why is not drawing from the head so difficult?
cause you don't do it often
drawing from torso and hips would probably be easier if it was taught first
people naturally draw head first cause they hold the most interest - this last sentence was unneeded because ur human and already know it
You don't do it enough.
is there a reason NOT to draw from the head?
You can pick one - succeed as a freelance digital artist, or a digital artist working for a game/tv/movie studio, which would you pick, and why?
>>3031466
can i pick the money from both and do neither?
Freelancer, probably.
>>3031466
I would like to start at a studio and then move to freelance, because I would imagine working in a studio would do wonders for optimizing workflow.
If that's not an option then straight freelance because setting my own hours would be nice.
why is that barrel so thin
the second amendment is a joke, no one should be aloud guns.

Anon, did you know an "lineart style" that look cool? pls post it.

It's quite simple, really. You where just not born with that spark so there is no point in helping you otherwise.

that image triggers me
I'm having a real hard time, I definitely know I want to make comics inspired from manga since I'm not japanese myself. The question is there's a point where if I can get the drawings decent I can craft the storyboards and create the stories I want. I just wonder if drawing and learning for a few years would be appropriate rather than spending somewhere like 7-8 years + just trying to achieve perfection and losing sight of my goal
>I definitely know I want to make comics
Then just do it. What's the problem? Unless you mean you can get the drawing part down but can't make good story/boarding.
>>3028870
I'm pretty self conscious of my art looking pretty bad, and wonder if it's recognizable to a point, would it be better to sacrifice time for drawing for storyboarding and creating comics instead

Draw for a while and begin studying, if you don't enjoy it, you'll quit anyways. That's all there is to it.
I need someone fully naked, in a great position and something wild like this.

How important is visualization when it comes to painting and drawing?
I draw mostly landscapes and buildings in my spare time, almost never referencing things I've seen (also because I've never really studied trees, for example, enough for me to be able to truly be realistic in that department). My education is not formal, and there are many things that I'm simply uncapable of drawing.
Now, I've recently started studying with a teacher. After a few lessons she asked me to look at a glass for 2 minutes and then draw it from memory. I did so and she noticed that I've never closed my eyes. I did not know what she meant for it, and long story short I've discovered that I'm aphantasic and that people are actually supposed to compose images when they close their eyes. Fuck me, I guess.
I have not talked with her ever since, discovering this was a big hit on my self-esteem and led me to doubt my approach on this craft altogether.
Now, honestly, what should I think about it? What's your approach to drawing and painting, according to your visualization? Could you do anything without it?
>>3031637
What she meant was that it's impressive you don't fall into symbol drawing and actually look at the thing you're drawing. Alternatively, visualization is just memory.
>>3031637
>people are actually supposed to compose images when they close their eyes
desu this just sounds like idiosyncratic mumbo jumbo specific to this teacher
you don't need to literally close your eyes to visualise something with your imagination, I usually just look at the empty paper/screen while I visualise
>>3031637
Oh man I have the same problem... I didn't know there was a name for it. No wonder I have trouble with memory drawing too. Fuck. I thought that was how everybody functioned.
During those exercises I just stare at one spot on something so that the shape of the object gets sort of burned into my eyes, as well as taking mental notes to remember things about placement, form, negative space, anything I can hold on to that will help me piece it together and draw it without looking. Then when i look at my paper i have a negative (from the staring at one spot) to help me see, if only for a second while im sketching in the general form, what the fuck the thing actually looked like.
Oh, sometimes muscle memory can help too. If you look at the object and put your hand out as if you're tracing it, then go over it over and over while you're looking at it before you draw, that might do something for you.
I think you should say fuck this shit and find ways for you to keep improving as an artist. You might not be able to visualize, which does suck, but you can get to a point where you can draw from imagination by doodling about until you find something cool. Then from there it's just like a puzzle, taking a silhouette or sketch and making it into a sweet painting by figuring out the form, perspective, and lighting on your own plus after that point you've got whatever references you might need for any detail you can't vizualize.
Most important thing is that you are creative and study a lot, draw every day.
Good luck to you, friend.
Holy shit
I love Roman stuff
I followed along with this dudes tutorial, he reminds me of a digital Bob Ross.

Hi, I've been drawing for 2 years now and recently I've been getting feedback that my art is trash. I mean I know it isn't great but I feel it's passable for comics? Like, if the story is good then readers will read it?
I was reading this article about comic making that said you should study anatomy and perspective for 2 years before even starting? do you agree with that?
Don't stop. Any self respecting artist should welcome criticism and want to improve their work. So yes you should study some anatomy.
>>3032423
Yes it's trash but you shouldn't stop. Continue drawing while studying fundamentals
>it's another 'pretend to be an autist' bait thread and retards desperate to give advice will still respond to it
you aren't the creator of this comic, he can barely speak english. sage and hidden

So, the opposite of what's in your picture?
So I'd like to make a thread to help those who are starting out in their roads to artistry.
Sharing techniques, methods, equipment's to use, tutorials, etc. would be greatly appreciated in being revealed.
I'll be honest, I'm making this as I'm an individual who would be categorized as one of these people. My basic skills in imagination to draw is awful, from scratch, my drawings are probably worse than a 5 year olds (but I've got incredible copying and editing abilities(show me a photo, and I could copy it well when not looking at it)). I really like doodling and drawing, but I'm not getting anywhere. (but I can draw one hell of a TopHat)
So advice would be greatly helpful.
You mean like a beginner thread? Good idea!
Oh, shoot! Someone already come up with that idea! >>3032574
Darn it! Who woulda thunk, huh?!
Go and read the sticky, then go to the beginners thread.
>>3033725
Wait, you made that top hat? Cause it is indeed a nice design.
Seconding sticky, would like to add still lifes as a good practice for beginners:

If you want to draw from imagination: construction and perspective, dude. Don't know a good guide for that online though (as in, general guide. For humans: Loomis.)
