Unappealing, you have a complete lack of any ability to properly draw a face, the "spatter" technique for the background is a cop out and uninteresting and does nothing to add value to the work at all.

In a school setting, this is the kind of thing one expects to see from people before they study art - it's amatuer at best, and not even a good portfolio piece.

I would start from the beginning, with learning how to draw.

This is the place to go for all that is Beksinski. There should be at least some paintings with higher resolution there.

Don't miss out on his photography.

Study a photo of the bone structure of a foot, and study a subject. Put these together to form where dark tones should be.

>study the fundamentals of gesture and structure
>study {feet}, how do they look, how do they work
>practice a lot with photo references of various kind as well as others' interpretations

Replace {} with anything in this world and you'll never have to ask again
>"how do I draw {}"

Any questions?

Guess that depends what I want to focus on and improve. I've filled whole pages with just hands, or noses and ears. Sometimes it helps to lay some tracing paper over the picture in the drawing book and trace the picture. I've had it where drawing from the reference picture wasn't quite doing it but when tracing something "clicked". Maybe training my hand how to move or something.

I like the quick sketch, the ones that are one or two minutes. Helps me to see the essential forms in a subject and get them quickly onto paper, like where's the center of gravity, what motion do I want to capture. Keep the pencil lines quick and light, and try using a pen. Drawing without the ability to erase I think is a useful learning tool.

I also think it's a good idea to learn the fundamentals from the most "neutral" sources possible. No comics or anime references; because then you're learning to draw people from someone else's style. If you can, date all your work and keep every drawing.

Honestly, OP, if you're drawing, you're practicing. I really don't think you can call any one process of improvement "smarter" or more efficient than another. If you want to git gud at a certain thing, do the thing. Just know that no one ever gets to that "good" point. There's always more to improve on.

Doing master studies of great artists is an excellent way to learn you retard.

Try cleaning up your lines better, you could fix that in general by using lighter strokes. Also the head doesn't look like it's reaching down, it looks like it was just stichted onto the underside of the torso. Also stop drawing my little pony you won't learn much by doin this

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?

>The original developer of the site has taken a leave for quite a while, originally due to medical reasons. Progress on the site is almost non-existant at this point. You can try contacting him at @LavaFlake or emailing him at [email protected].

What do we draw?

>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.

What's a low effort warning?

>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.

>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.

What happens if I'm eliminated?

>Your streak will go back to 0 and you will have to start again. No other penalties.

How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?

>There is no week system anymore, instead new users are given "streaks" based on the number of consecutive days you can submit without getting eliminated. (token losses do not reset your streak)

Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?

>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.
there. kick rocks.

>Can I improve if I practice?
Dude are you stupid?

>>2975964
I should have said: 'practice more'

I've been drawing since kindergarden and stopped during I high school, because I am not good at it/can't like what I draw.

Even had an art teacher for 1 year (during high school) and I chose to quit because still wasn't making any progress.

>Can I improve if I practice *more?*

My self-esteem with my art is so low and I'm such a perfectionist that I have never signed any of my work. I always feel like I have room to improve and thus don't feel proud enough to put my signature on anything. Also, signing work feels like an outdated concept.

Just write link to your portfolio/blog or your nickname in a way it can be recognized and googled
I also find a girl who sort of hide her signature - pic related, it's there not for recognition obviously, to prove her authorship maybe.

No, but even if I did I wouldn't sign it like many do since the last century and a half or so, such as in op pic. Maybe on the side of a rock or a flat plane, and not in mere hand writing.

>shitty op image, literally beg tier

Whatever is most comfortable to you

Like an artisté

Yeah, I do. Actions from people like this tells you a lot about them as a person.

I like abstract art while still respecting figurative art.
Creating just shapes to make the viewer feel something tingles my brain.

>>2978040
I see no principal difference between abstract and non-abstract art. People say "I don't get abstract art!" like they do get Renaissance or modern art to the extent more than "Oh, that's a person!"
