Am I doing this study thing correctly? Are the bottom 3 drawings (AirDuster head, Lady, and muscle torso) the proper way to study 3d forms?

>>2910353
No, youre too focused with looking texhnical than actually applying the techniques. That skull is abhorrent. Make things out of shapes, be cleaner.

It doesn't really look like you studied anything. You just did a bunch of quick doodles of random things.

Studying is very practical. Your training yourself to understand one subject. So there shouldn't be sporadic doodles of different things. You don't learn anything from doing that.

Pick one thing that you want to learn how to draw then analyze it.

If you want to draw faces, you analyze the skull. Draw it multiple times facing different directions. Learn the proportions and the planes. Afterwards, you draw a head with all the features multiple times, rotated in different ways.

Right now, I'd say go study form and lighting. Draw basic shapes like cubes, cylinders, cones in different angles under different lighting conditions. Study how light affects and wraps around the form. Study how shadows appear.

Something I did this week. I don't know if anyone gets the concept I was going for.

>>2910348

It's easiest to study native american or asian faces because their cheekbones are quite prominent. It's a curve in from the bottom of the eye to the nostril.

>>2910375
>too focused with looking texhnical than actually applying the techniques
could you explain this a little more? Which drawing looks the most technical to you and why? Also what kind of techniques should I be applying and if you could source it; from a book maybe?

>>2910416
im trying to figure out how my own cheekbone works.

>tfw all the anime from my teen years is haunting me
This is my first stab at digital painting and it's kicking my ass. I'm in the process of sort of revising the values because I'm a pussy about very dark/light values and contrast is scary. Yell at me about things.

>>2910458
If that's literally your first time doing digital then you are doing a great job. There's lots of nitpicks but since you are new to digital the best advice is to just keep painting basically, you'll figure things out on your own pretty quickly.

>>2910458
my advice would be to make sure things actually have forms instead of being a blob of tones

for example, the socket of the eye, the chin, the protrusion of the bridge of the nose etc

placements of everything looks fine and the softness is good, maybe draw western men to really begin to understanding drawing facial features since girls and asian faces are just a giant blob with facial features on top

I keep trying to avoid chickenscratching and doing restatings instead but they always end up looking chickenscratches and sometimes being chickenscratchings.

This is a nightmare but also I guess I'm beginning to have fun drawing shit.

>>2910493
cant really give you advice on if its too chicken scratchy if you dont post a pic

>>2910472
It's not my first try at digital art in general, I used to do a lot of anime stuff years ago at oekakis and shit but it was mostly with very flat shading. It's figuring out how to use brushes and how to actually observe lighting/form that's really fucking me up.
>>2910482
Thanks, I get what you mean about the blobiness. Even with a neutral expression and a pretty soft face I still fucked up the likeness quite a bit so I think I need to really push myself to observe more to get a better feel for the form of the head anyway.

Do several quicker drawings instead of one long one. Chances are you will get at least one that looks like them. Also people like seeing themselves from multiple angles and will be happy you did lots of drawings. You can also explain that likeness is difficult to get even for experienced artists.

>I feel chicken scratching has become a bad habit, anybody know the best way to fix it?
They don't look that chicken scratchy to me. Maybe the line quality is meh, but it looks okay. You're allowed to go over a line more than once you know. Just take care in how you put it down and if you are going over it again it should be to reinforce it, not because you are guessing or something.

As for exercises to improve linework, I guess things like contour drawing, drawing with the whole arm, and slowing down will help. You can also "ghost" a line by practicing once or twice the motion but have your pencil tip hovering over the paper slightly so it makes no mark. Then when you have the motion down you can do it for real.

Alright, first step is learning to you your materials,
You need to be drawing with pencils
>but i want to draw comics in ink
No, you need to use pencils.

You obviously also have no confidence, this comes with experience so stop rushing ahead trying to shade and color.
Draw basic forms like cubes and spheres in different perspectives and with different lighting. Google is your friend, if you have any questions GOOGLE THEM.

You're still stuck in 2D aka advanced symbol drawing, all complex forms are made out of simple forms, so learn how to draw simple forms.

APPLY WHAT YOU LEARN.
One of the most important steps. Make a drawing out of what you just studied. Have FUN with it, ENJOY your new knowledge. You will probably have to erase a lot at this point, your drawings will not look "right". That's fine, keep working at it until you fix the issue, this will probably involve getting lucky buts thats nothing to feel bad about. If something is fucked up beyond repair, start completely over

I was at your level once so please believe i have experience with this frustrating period of development.

It seems a bit off balance to me, I think I need to make the second roof extend more to the right. My main problem with this one is I got kind of lazy as I drew (top to bottom) so at the end some of the parts are just both super simplified and impossible to actually exist, especially the bottom fence.

Maybe you're not analyzing the other subjects as hard, it's very easy to go auto-pilot when gesturing. The key to learning fast and retaining info is to dissect what you see with maximum effort.

>I feel chicken scratching has become a bad habit, anybody know the best way to fix it?

Force yourself to do one stroke only, with your shoulder. Really force yourself, insist till it becomes an habit. But like the others have pointed out, It's pretty good. I don't know what's going on with the right back leg though, it seems to be crossing through the ground?

>>2910842
>>2883801
Based on this person's blog, it's being taught more often. That's one reason.
Another reason could be that entertainment has lead people to notice concept artists which are generally the ones who use said method or recommend it.

>>2910848

Mhm, I see. Makes sense. How long has that guy been drawing for, do you know? He's pretty good

>>2910853
No idea, a while, that's for sure.
If you go down his blog, you may find the answer.
I quickly ran through it just to see what kind of work there is.
Draw-through method is present as well as other essential things to learn from an art school.
Useful to use as a reference, so do take a look if you haven't.

>>2910854

Will do, friend. Thank you for the info.

>>2910842
Should you be using the shoulder for absolutely everything? I still find it more comfortable to draw small details with my wrist.

>>2911047
Using the wrist for small details is usually fine as long as you're keeping your strokes clean because you don't need the range of motion you get with working from the shoulder

How the everloving FUCK does Gesture Drawing work?

Okay, great. I need that, my poses are stiff as fuck and my anatomy is all over the place. How do I do this?
>Just scribble nothing on a page for 2 hours every day and you'll magically gitgud lolbye
This doesn't help explain anything.

Seriously, no youtube or written tutorial has ever helped me understand just what the fuck I'm doing right or wrong. Every time I try to do this shit I just get myself pissed off after 10 minutes because all I've done is just scribbled a complete nothing piece of shit that doesn't even RESEMBLE a human body. Just a bunch of circles and lines on a page. I understand that this is supposed to be "quick 30 second drawings that are for capturing motion" and not something you spend an hour perfecting, but I. Don't. Get. It. I feel like I legitimately captured the human form better when I was 5, and all my people were circles on beans with 4 lines for arms and legs.

This is something I feel like I need to know in order to hit any of my goals, but I just don't get it. I feel like with my normal drawings I'm -okay-. I'm still piss poor gutter trash in the grand scheme of things, but I'm at least past the chicken scratch anime stick figures phase so at least I'm starting to see my progress. It's just this gesture shit it holding me back.

What is the "secret" for picking the right saturation on the darker areas?
I have some theoretical knowledge about it, mostly from either books, or tutorials, i'm not quite sure at this point.
I know that there is a transition between light and shadow, an area were the saturation (and darkness, i think) is higher. I also read somewhere that the shadows are supposed to be less saturated that the lighter areas (i'm not sure about this), yet, very often i see extremely good paints, where the darker areas seem to be sometimes more and sometimes less saturated, even to the point of being almost grey... can someone tell?

A couple months back I decided I liked the idea of digital painting, character portraits in particular. After a bit of reading I've found myself following this drawabox site, what's bugging me is I haven't touched on any painting yet. I know I'm going to need at least some classical drawing skills, but how much? Are their any other resources I could follow that jump straight into the digital side of things? Or should I stick at this? I'm asking for a plan of what to study and in what order, so I can get into digital character portaits quicker basically. I know I shouldn't rush but it'd be good if I could skip parts that I won't need, I don't see myself branching off into other areas.

>>2911251
>What is the "secret" for picking the right saturation on the darker areas?
what, are you saying how to pick the right COLOR? saturation what?
>theoretical knowledge
can you fucking not? speak like a fucking normal person.
> I also read somewhere that the shadows are supposed to be less saturated that the lighter areas
holy fuck just go outside you fucking doof

i cant even help you.

>>2911251
It depends a lot of the material and the lighting situation. A slightly shiny object or a light coloured one might pick up a lot of cool notes in the shadows if it outside and the blue sky is an influence, for example.

Skin is a weird one in that it's slightly translucent and there is all this blood and stuff beneath it. There's a lot of subsurface scattering that happens, which brings in warmth to the shadows.

As for the saturation level of things, I see people confused on this a lot. I think the problem behind it is that they are less saturated simply because of their value. If you were to graph the saturation of each colour you will find that it's a fairly bright value that allows the greatest purity. It is different for each colour, like yellow is most saturated at a very high value, blue is most saturated at a darker one.

So basically a colour with a dark value even at 100% saturation will be less saturated than that same hue at a higher value and 100% saturation.

I usually put the shadows fairly saturated in my images (going by the number in photoshop). Personally I find it looks a lot better this way, but you need the value to be correct first for it to work.

For the darkest occlusion shadow accents in a painting, you want it usually warm and saturated (even though it's like 95% black). It's a weird subtle thing and I don't really know the reason behind it but the colour will often look "dead" if it's not a bit warm in those spots.

Also theory is good and all, but ultimately experience and observation will trump it. Paint a lot from life and the masters and you will start to build an intuitive sense of what the colours should look like and what your taste is. Saturation and colour can be designed a lot depending on your intentions and tastes. Ultimately I think temperature is the most important component.

Do you not know what saturation is? holy sh...
>i cant even help you.
yeah, i noticed

https://www.democracynow.org/topics/browse##

>>2911251
basically
temperature of the secondary light source + local color + reflected light + properties of the specific material (i.e subsurface scattering, veins etc)

skin in particular is difficult because it's a living organ that's interacting with light in a whole bunch of different ways at the same time
this is why painting a live model is so valuable. go to a drawing session there's one in your area. otherwise, try to paint people from life as much as possible. paint your friends, paint your parents, paint randos out on the street

??????????? saturation in this context has no meaning. saturation is just the color having more color. why would you ever bring that up when color picking? you should only be painting with 3 colors to achieve any kind of realistic rendering. why the fuck would you want to autiscally pick everything? you know what it does? it fucking makes your drawing look muddy like the pic related you posted. holy fuck terrible shading. use a soft brush and learn edge control, jesus.

In my figure drawing class what we did was like a countdown warmup. First do a 5 min gesture, then 3 min, 1 min, 30 sec, the 10 sec. it helps loosen you up for the rest of what you're drawing, and the point of gesture is what you said, to capture movement. so basically draw a stick figure doing what the model is doing, then build up the stick figure. Gestures are supposed to be kind of chaotic and sketchy, so don't feel bad. It's all about quick, fairly confident lines to capture the moment. I have faith in you, anon

because gesture is supposed to be really quick, i like using a thick pencil so i can get a range of line weight. i start by drawing the head as a quick circle, then draw the contour of the spine, add sharp lines to place the shoulders and hips, then the extremities. i do everything super light at first then if i have time go back and start adding weight to the drawing like where shadows. charcoal is great to have nearby to use as your shading/weight 'tool', i just hate the charcoal fallout. i've used vine charcoal before and that's a fun tool to use for gestures. are you in college or have access to take some kind of figure class?
something that helped me was sitting at the mall and doing super quick gesture drawings of people walking around, standing, on their phones, etc

no amount of shading is gonna fix that mang. Really think you should restart, try something more simple as well. Familiarise yourself with basic perspective, like eye level and vanishing points.

It's really just a mess. Atleast try harder to make the lines straight, or use a ruler.

>>2911516
I do that already. I'm currently following "Fun with a pencil" and practicing 2-3 hours a day

I was just thinking about grabbing a tablet since I do want to make the jump to digital as soon as possible but there is so much software I just don't know where to start

>>2911519
For the moment I just want to learn the basics and hopefully down the road finding my style.

Just don't, bro. By the time you can make the jump to tablet it'd be chaeper to get a beginner one. Don't fall for the tablet for absolute beginners meme.

You did well this time, but allow me to point out something that probably makes the pictures look off.
1) Don't just trace the skull, people have a bit more meat on the lower parts of it.
2) The eyes of the first guy are a bit small, which makes the skull seem too wide. (If I make it narrower, it seems okay to me.) You also didn't draw the eyelashes.
3) The mouth and chin of the first guy are off-center.
4) The angle of the far cheek of the right guy is disturbing. Why don't you feed him properly?
5) The mouth of the right guy is too high up and his nose seems to be too short.

Know that finding flaws in your pictures was actually a bit difficult this time.

Theyre a bunch of shitty faces you scribbled down, you didnt get comfortable with shit

>>2911119
this is great for your first try, I like the color shifting
looks like you need some more highlights though
try blocking in values with a large brush before using a small one, it'll make you faster and you'll be able to add textures more easily

How did you get your colors? I only see three swatches there.

>>2911713

do a head from reference then imagination. Rinse and repeat. Especialy since you're a beginner you should be refrencing 50% of the time, you'll learn a lot quicker this way.

Perhaps you should try to get the human skull from a variety of angles down first. It's easier to find reference for that and there's a nifty program that allows you place a skull at any angle and take pictures of it. Cant think of the name right now tho.

I'm trying to make as photorealistic prices in as quick amount of time as I can, I use ballpoint for a good value and I don't have to be switching my utensils, those guides are all I use to start the drawing.

style looks pretty ok, I'd try to draw the features smaller though. Beginners tend to draw those too big which in turn looks more cartoonish. If that's your intention though that's fine.

This is gonna sound kinda gay, but watch popular Let's Players, they always have super exaggerated crazy expressions to appeal to their audience and watch comedians like Jim Carey that rely on being visually zany to get a laugh, and just draw the expressions.

@<@

Work on adding more contrast to your image - brighter highlights and darker shadows.

is it just me or is speed a large part of skill? in that it's almost a subset of skill? the more confident you are and the larger visual library you have the faster you'll put down lines, whereas meandering around about it almost always results in jaggy or weak lines. of course practice and actual study takes time but it seems like you really shouldn't spend a large amount of time on a piece.

>>2912368

strong overhead lighting makes it a lot easier to see the planes of a face. whereas diffused mellow lighting makes it very hard to get any contrast out of the picture

Those are actually some of the most realistic dicks I have ever seen.

the gap between his nose and mouth is way too long

>>2912498
>very strange.
strange as is bad? i tried to get more detail but it would just mix in the colors underneath and it was too difficult to mix a wide enough variety of greens

is a combination of draw a box and Keys to drawing a good approach for a beginner? I'm currently running both I think that one fills the gaps of the other. What do the gods of ic think?

>>2910808
it's no biggie my dude, thank you!

>>2912385
Not really.
When you're drawing you should flow fast.
But I think you should contemplate serious work longer.
Sleep on it, check it out again, you know...

this ones the strongest, only thing that really looks wrong is the abs are too big and the hands are too small

I'm beginner garbage so you should at the very least be able to do this much. Do your best and try to keep your perspective consistant. Maybe reading the first few chapters of perspective made easy will help you out. Do your best I believe in you

Hey, this is honestly really off topic, but I didnt want to erroneously make a new thread since I am a crossposter here. Im looking to hire an artist for a handful of works, and I dont know how to go about doing that. Do I make a thread? Im looking for anime look alike stuff, and a lot of the art here also seems to be more of the high art variety. Could a kind anon here guide me?

you could go to the self promotion thread and contact people directly through their blog if you like their art.

>tfw i'm learning more from anime tutorials and looking at manga then anything i've learned from Loomis

I don't know if i'm the one who is retarded or is loomis really just a meme

Everytime i do loomis construction I always feel off and it's super slow and my proportions are never right as I try to measure each head but doing basic anime stuff feels fast, fun and helpful

>>2912783
>Thank you anon, this looks much more like what I am looking for. Good luck with your art, you are a gentlemen on a scholar.

You are not learning anatomy, one it's time to fill those tubes and circles and muscle it's going to be harder for you to understand the figure, but yes, using simple forms like in Anime books it's better.

>>2912782
The hands are ok, more or less, but the lower left sheet is absolutely horrible. The two top left heads are ok as long as I can tell, but the right one doesn't look okay at all. The skeleton is that of a Star Wars droid; if you wanted to depict a human, bad luck then. The lower right sketch of what seems to be a bar wall with a guy sitting on the chair before it and a trash bin with bags nearby looks perhaps the best of them all. Now that I think about it, you seem to be comparatively stronger at landscapes and still life shots.

Had to redraw and correct this so many times to get the proportions somewhat okay.

Overlayed my sketch with the original image to check for any big problems with proportions aswell.

But it still seems a bit off. Can anyone make any suggestions?
What part can I change to make it look more correct and how the hell do people get proportions down so easily !!!!???

I feel I made him into a feminine fuccboi from the handsome man he was.

Can I get any feedback on this? It honestly made me feel better, even knowing it has mistakes.

>>2907348
Reference.

>>2912853
Chicken scratching, learn to make fewer, more confident strokes.

Don't draw every hair, makes it look like she has a bunch of black straw attached to her scalp. Try to draw larger massses, hair has volume.

Ear too low, follow the line of the eyes to place the ear.

Back of skull too small, look at a mirror. Learn head construction

Eyes are still symbols.

In two words: sticky, loomis

>>2912885
Pretty egregious symbol drawing, get Keys to Drawing.

>>2912885
I have a feeling I've seen this drawing somewhere else.. not sure where though.

Thank you
You're quite right: I'm sinking most of my energy into understanding humans at the moment, because I've already taken a lot of time to understand landscape, but let anthropocentric subjects stagnate. I will work on them; there is no doubt that they're absolutely horrible at the moment

>>2912890

I'm going through keys, but I can't seem to get rid of the figure drawing when it comes to eyes and lips. Would looking into how to draw eyes and mouths tutorials help me or reinforce my symbol drawing?

>>2912911
Symbol* not figure.

>>2912911
Well you're not getting Keys right then, anon. Tutorials may help but what you need to do is read over the actual text of Keys, look for lines and angles and shapes and copy those and stop thinking in terms of "eyes' and "lips" at least for now.

Don't regard eyes and lips as any more special or more mysterious from apples and stools and potted plants and draw what you see as you see it, again reread keys or work through it again if you must.

So I know the anatomy and proportions may be a bit fucked but I'm mainly wondering about the line quality and if anyone has any tips on inking and getting good line art in general

This is my first art work. I have another one. My style is to have flaws. As we all have them. I also only have a really shitty tablet and use a free software. I'm not trolling. I've always draw like this on purpose. Realism isn't my style lol.

Wait, you aren't the same person? Oy-vey.
Anyway, responding to the guy who draws heads digitally, the new ones look alright to me except the one in straight 3/4 (the third in the top row from the left). The nose of the head below it and the positions of its eyebrows look kinda off. Maybe you'd want to make your ears less angular too.

What's wrong with the 3/4?

Need to learn how2ears anyway, thanks for the reminder

>>2913065
I think it's the outlines of the head. Give the cheek more angle, make the skull rounder, and give more definition to the brow ridge. Touch your face lewdly, like it is your girl who's madly in love with you. Pinch ur meat, cope a feel, you know the deal. It would help you understand the fine details (forms) of a human head.
