I can't stand these funhouse mirror efforts. Exaggeration is just one part of caricature, I think another part of it is abstraction, put something of your own in the figure that was NOT there, that tells you something about the person being caricatured. Al Hirschfeld is so well known as a caricaturist because in addition to exaggerating, he also simplified, and what he chose to keep in his caricature after omitting everything else is an abstraction, his own unique viewpoint.

Because most people on this board have enough taste to only enjoy drawing stuff that's actually good lol

Why the shitty watermark? The way you paint fur is hideous. Actually, the way you paint is terrible. Go study some old paintings, lighting, and draw from life.

I'm into a band and get money.
I plan to take commisions and maybe write a comic or smth
Advice: If you are not a well known artist and you need money , don't be picky when it comes to choosing a job , just do it for the money until you get popular .

It would be nice if someone could point out the flaws. Except the missing nips ofcourse I know there are none.
I know there are some serious issues with the shoulders and collar bones but i cant grasp what is missing.

1. resize img before posting
2. use beginner thread

You lack fundamentals
creating a scratchy look without the image actually being scratchy takes a lot of skill

Why is it so hard to draw from imagination?

I've been drawing heads from reference for about a month now and made really solid progress. Tonight I tried to draw a friend's face from memory, it took me like 15 minutes and it came out horrible.

>>2464417
We process faces both separately and differently than other objects anon. Try drawing your friend several times over a couple of weeks with reference and try again from imagination shortly after each time.

>>2464424
Makes sense. Thanks.!

Just look at your boyfriend.

>>2468109

I'm single, brah. I have friends and other people I draw but drawing myself is the easiest most convenient option, as it is for all artists.

>>2468116

oh and I'm not gay, and would never consider going gay, not even in college. I don't get the slightest bit of excitement from seeing naked males and avoid male photos in the reference thread like the plague, it's disgusting.

I'm sure this could be a pointless thread of one school of thought vs another.

But I'll just say that Feng Zhu has natural born talent and can translate his mind on to paper much easier than most people.

the best way to learn to draw is to do everything. Holistic learning is undeniably the most effective route to true mastery. If you aspire to be a great artist then you shouldn't just read one book on perspective. you should every published thing on perspective you can. same goes for anatomy etc. the same goes for drawing techniques (life, reference, imagination), they all have different feels, different strengths and weaknesses. Included all the different mediums you could possibly render or work in and you have a lot of work to do. Don't fall into the trap that most people do of worrying about it. Drawing from life definitely has its merits. If you can do it. Then do it. If you really can't you aren't going to fail, you just won't be as good as you could be.

Cause it gives you an idea of how things are constructed anatomically.
You don't have to solely dedicate yourself to drawing from life, but it's recommended to expand your knowledge and skill of human anatomy.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
If you're going for a stylized work, then yeah, by all means, go nuts.
In the end I think it really just is a question of personal preference, and how creative and knowledgeable you are as an artist.

(Also, regarding Feng Zhu: don't most of the students that go there end up having drawings that look like one another's?)

Copics are nice if you have the money to splurge, but shinhan touch markers are a good cheaper alternative
I've heard good things about the windsor newton markers, but I think they might be even more expensive

Damn, those Windsor Newton ones would have been perfect but they don't ship to Finland....

depends on your budget honestly. As I have grown up, I realize things aren't really that expensive anymore, and there are plenty of other things that are more painful to pay for: going out for dinner, data plans, plane tickets, car repairs, home repairs, etc. The cost of markers is in the noise of my yearly expenses.

If you like drawing traditionally, markers are a clean, atomic way of adding values to your drawings with nice discrete color selections. When I bought mine, I had worked my way from
>pencil
>pen
>brush pen
>cool gray scale prismas
>warm gray scale prismas
>used copics off ebay

I've been happy with them, although now I have digital needs because at the end of the day the markers were too much overhead for me to learn about color and value. Digital is just much faster and more forgiving.

Wrong board friendo

>>2468614
Needs more loomis, face looks too Asian, unless that was what you were going for.
Perspective is fucked, no one stands around like that, completely boring pose in contrast with the background. Looks like you just dragged a guy in front of a photo.
The water waves look weird and have too much detail so they draw too much attention.
You should've gone for one boat instead of many, right now it looks like a clusterfuck, but one or two boats would've been a better atmosphere
