You mean you didn't bang the only chick in their gang after you impressed them with your gestures? You mean you didn't get to capture her flow or feel her forms?

Nah, no pussy on all the fucking park. Just retards.

Just focus more and do a light underdrawing of the general proportions, erasing and correcting it when you notice mistakes. Comparative measurement is quite easy and shouldn't take long to learn, especially if you can sight size already.

>>3022355
try comparing things on the page

mark out two rough lines on the significant landmarks, i.e hairline and bottum of chin, then one cutting vertically. what's halfway? perhaps, if you're lucky the bottum of the nose, otherwise it shouldn't be too hard to find a shine or a birthmark somewhere. mark that. half it again, you should find some landmarks on lips/eyes etc. now you have horizontal plumb lines, which is easy enough. anything that falls onto those 8 lines you can be almost sure about. mark them in.

the hard part is connecting the angles. stick out your arm and find the angle from, for example, the bottum of the nose to corner of lip, or corner of eye. if the angle of your pencil doesn't match your paper, go back to the landmarks you are certain about, try again.

here's a rough example i've done of the angles you should measure

I appreciate your effort so ill post this sketch. The main thing i get out of doing studies is how to stylize. I tend to try to make stuff too realistic and as a result my art looks sterile and dry.

I am curious to see one of your ''more sterile and dry'' drawings as a comparison, btw I love that right leg of the girl on top and their hair, it's my list of things I like to see, but I see a tanged of that leg with the right arm of the girl in front, if you are going to invest more time into that I would recommend to fix it, unless is intended of course

>The main thing i get out of doing studies is how to stylize
I guess I am the opposite of that, I tend to focus too much on details when studying from real life which in turn meant I spend too much time on each object rendering details, so studying artists (like kjg for eg) taught me to focus only on silhouettes or lines which actually show something

there's your artist,
I hope you can read.

>>3022173
i just found out about this artist today actually, i recognized it in the op image b4 you said anything. i like him a lot.

>>3022028
It's always time to abandon art and get a normal job. In fact, you probably took too long to reach this decision already.

>>3022028
Art is THE "don't quit your day job" of all hobbies, anon.

But still, keep pushing yourself. With each piece, just see how far you can push it - gesture, rendering, perspective, composition. That's combined with thoughtful practice and references is how you get out of the plateau.

>>3022030 I meant to say "keep my normal job"

>>3022031 Thanks for the advice. Do you have any suggestions on good places to practice online?

Books can only help so much. You need to build up experience and an eye for color.
The main things you need to know are how to adjust the value, saturation, and hue for a pool of paint. To do this, you need to know complements and develop quick formulas for common colors, like black.

As for books, Making Color Sing is one of the top recommended watercolor books out there

I've kind of wanted to pick up the book from the artist who made pic related and OP's chart. It is more of an encyclopedia than a guide for mixing, but it is definitely pretty to look at.

Agreed with >>3022044 though. This is a thing that you have to do on your own to get the most out of it. With experience, you can decide if you like certain mixes or opt for something unconventional. The advantage of this for this medium is that you can choose your favourite watercolour paint mix and put it onto your palette for ease/convenience. Could always set the paints next to each other into the same well without mixing.
That being said, you have to be mindful about the various properties attached to watercolour paints and pigments. You can like the way some colours mix, but not the opacity or granulation. Good luck, OP.

I use Prismacolor watercolor pencils to lay down pigment at edges I want to shade then use a Pelikan travel kit to activate the pigment while wet, with additional pigment on the brush and scrub/rub as needed then I use goache when done to finalize any colors that need a deeper hue or glazes.

thanks

Wait, polandball is a fucking webcomic? I always thought it was just a meme someone made that a bunch of people started randomly making comics of. Why am I so retarded?

>>3022216
>just a meme someone made that a bunch of people started randomly making comics of
It is. But it is a comic on the web in a sense, I guess.

>>3021927
It's a comic based in politics and therefore inherently boring.

it completely depends on what medium you're using. Oil painters usually use a method called fat over lean that involves using thicker more viscous layers first, then building up towards thinner. Watercolorists use washes to create depth and light. It's all different.

Also, years and years of practice is usually required to render properly, no matter what medium you choose.

>>3021752
try limited palettes , like the zorn palette.

do you mean one that translates from traditional to digital. because they are pretty different.

also who is op image i like it.

>>3021773
i ask because your use of the word color picking makes me think you mean that.

>>3020967
draw faces that don't look like they were hit with a frying pan? honestly there is improvement there and it looks pretty solid but the subject matter is boring and lame to look at. do you have other examples you could share?

>>3020967
How many drawings did you do, 365? Aim for quantity, next time? Instead of 1 perfect drawing, 10 shit scribbles focused on learning one thing. Next year it will be minimum of 3650 drawings.

>>3020967
Exactly the expected year progress unless you're talented.

>>3020729
I can. Email me.

visual art isn't death metal, there's only like 10 genres. This would be called surrealism

Now get the fuck out of here, you useless little bitch, and take your "what is this art style" threads with you, before I shove them up your gaping faggot-filled ass so far no other poster can bump them anymore. What a stupid bitch. How do you get searching for a goddamn unremarkable art piece? It's an affront, stay out of my damn board and out of my damn way when I go to draw and look for threads not made by bitchboys who beg for help and probably cum. Go wrack your wrinkle-free, neurosyphilic Down syndrome dot of a brain to figure out why you don't belong here.

Hi friend, welcome to 4chan. You seem to be having difficulties making pals. I'm sure if you TRY HARDER you'll fit right in :^)

He just started posting something about feelings and forms and sort of rambled off while posting upside down photos of ripped paper.

He's gonna die soon ;_;

>>3019940
He's got 2-5 more years in him easily.

More than enough time to see you not make it.

Are you actually going to grind the shit out of art day after day or are you going to watch TV and jack off.

Are your parents poor? It's unfathomable for me to have parents make me go to work instead investing in myself. Time is worth a lot more than minimal wage.
