Why do you look at things to get mad at instead of drawing?

>>3082137
Can you explain this idiocy please? Is this authority in art?

>>3082135
it would help if you clearly articulated which part of the viewpoint she explains is hard to understand for you.

Have you tried symbol drawing? That gif pretty much demonstrates the usefulness of symbol drawing, just saying

Hands take me the longest time
I could draw a face and a body just fine, then struggle with hands for over an hour. They never turn out right

Hands are the most fun part. Gesture, structure, lots of observation and taking notes.
You'll find that the things that make your hand drawings look shit keep recurring, so just keep an eye on them. Things like
>hand doesn't taper from the wrist, thumb's metacarpal is the wrong proportion relative to pointing finger's metacarpal, silhouette is an unappealing shape etc.
If you get them all down, the hand will be a spot on and damn does that feel good.

Hampton's approach helped me the most, honestly. Those little ballpoint pen scribbles are one of the most valuable things in his book.

well if you don't shitpost and absorb the usefull stuff, the mistakes other artists make or learn new techniques then i guess it is better than mindless grinding, but it isnt betyrr than mindfull grinding which is the best.

Dissect cadavers.

Read the sticky, in other words artbooks

By attempting to draw it over and over until it looks right

This is a c table btw

>>3082163
One here for $600.

That's an antique, just kidding. Just look in hospital supply, or amazon, this one is $60
https://www.amazon.com/Invacare-Tilt-Top-Overbed-Table/dp/B001S89XH4
All you have to do is glue a pencil holder to the bottom edge or something. They make all kinds of hospital bed tables, I was looking at them a couple of years ago for my mom at home, when she was really sick and stuck in bed.

yeah but when a lot of art is concentrated in somewhere like a museum it takes hours or days to go through it. also you get better at it so those paintings that took weeks only take a couple hours. you ever see 'warm up' sketches of pro artists? they look better than something beg spends days . also if you have paintings hanging up on your walls or as your wallpaper on your pc they get a lot more viewing time

Pretty sure they mean post what you're working on + the music you're listening to.

Draw dynamic poses of artists you like, get a mirror and pose infront of it, do the pose you're drawing and feel where the muscles tense and think about how you can push it and distort features for more action.

>>3079518
The key to drawing good poses from imagination is to actually know what it is you are drawing. Seems obvious, but apparently not many people are actually aware of it. When they study figures, they study nothing but life drawing poses and those weird nonsensical poses models make on online drawing sites.

If you want to draw flashy, dynamic martial art poses, you have to have studied martial artists at some point. Hell, something as simple as a person running or walking is something I rarely see studied by illustrators and fine art types, yet animators like Yoshinari have drawn thousands of running cycles in their life. So obviously he can draw any variation of a person in motion from imagination by now.

in short, study less nonsensical poses and more people DOING things, then apply those studies to drawings from imagination.

This

Real fighting is way more dynamic than those stiff pose refs. if you're going to study fighting from a photo, at least study it from people who know what they're doing. Same thing for gun refs.

Not agreeing or disagreeing, but some sources say that apparently Donatello is the best

They are wrong.

Bernini has best technique. Rodin and Michelangelo are more expressive.

Draw real life with Loomis techniques
Then try Preston Blair
Read Illusion of Life and analyze appeal

learn how to use copic markers.
those artists who digitally paint that way can do so because they regularly use them.

>>3081607
I know it's layers of a marker like brush. Looking for some recs.

>>3081609
the point is they know how to achieve this look because it's instinctive. if you try to imitate it based on some random tutorial you'll only end up with a superficial understanding and limited rendering capability based on the examples used in the tutorial. get some basic grey markers (1,3,5,7,9) and practice rendering things. Then transfer your knowledge to digital.

stupid at first glance, but actually a very good question.

I honestly don't care about imagination or drawing. combining references is a lot nicer that drawing kjg scenes with people in it imo.

If i could fucking paint like a chinamen it's no different than having a pet succubus or a billion dollars.

Without a solid foundation your just putting lipstick on a pig.

drawing from imagination and having as little references as possible is what I aim to do, feels more freeing in a way. I just love how loose the image on the right feels.
