Everything I read and hear all say that drawing from life is the single most important thing for an artist
I have the problem though that I dont have any models for me.
I have looked for any figure or life drawing sessions near where I am and there are none, I dont have anyone who will model for me, and I definitely cant pay for a stranger to model.
I can of course sketch people in public , but you can rarely get a long pose or drawing from anyone, and I feel like a creep doing that anyway.
So any solutions? I have used some resources like photo references but I am afraid I am not learning what I could be by drawing from life

For now, try the new masters academy on YouTube. I know you want to draw models models from life but if you have nothing you are sol.

take a long bus or metro trip and sketch people who are trapped in a single position
if you're familiar with gesture drawing then you can churn out lots of quick sketches

How do people draw backgrounds like pic related? Is it true they take a photo of random place somwhere in Japan and just draw over it?

That's good to know, but is there any video out there that shows the background creation full process? I always only stuffs for characters. What kind of textures and brushes do they use?

Hello.
Yesterday i decided i want to transition from digital drawing to traditional. As i have started learning straight in digital I have developed really good muscle memory when using a tablet. Now, when im drawing on paper its really hard to keep proportions or draw anything that doesnt look like shit. Please help me with advice or something . I also struggle without undo and transform tool.
Picrel is me on digital, traditional is like 2 months drawing tier shit.

it's a learning process.
just like when jumping for traditional to digital, you're gonna be shit tier for awhile.
best just to grind a lot and get used to the new setup.
there's no easy way really.
pic looks above beginner tier so it's not that bad.

Weird request. Looking to find someone willing to do sketches of my wife in everyday situations (cooking, at wedding, etc.) but drawn with a breast hanging out or naked. I know, weird. But it gets me hot. I would send PayPal, trade stuff, whatever. Looking for an ongoing thing. BTW, my wife and I are very happy and this is just something that turns me on. My email is [email protected].
I have many, many high resolution photos to send for reference.

Post em now.
Rules:

-Posting WIP's, studies, "doodles", and random sketches are highly encouraged.
-The art must be fresh. Like you just drew it in the past hour.
-Go fast

Damn it, I was just about to make one. I guess that Go Fast line is going to be a permanent addition.
Just picked this up, I thought itd be another one of those shitty "draw a dog with just 5 lines!" books but its actually gold and teaches a good ammount of fundamentals very well

This is the best perspective book I have ever read, unfortunately I only came across it when I already understood everything in it. Another great one is foundations in comic book art which is the best book on fundamentals Ive seen yet. If you could combine these with something on colour and something on anatomy on would have a hell of a curriculum.

This is very nice. I like the idea of tattooing the negative space rather than the positive.

i take a ride in the "self-promotion" thread and just "stalk" all the "artists" in the replies but i just found this in one.
The portrait pic is obviouslly a more detailed work, not perfect but is more complex and the artist dont get any like/reblog.
then the second thing, is like he just put the wacom pencil in his ass and start scratching in the tablet and he got 11 "notes (not a big number, i know)
why this happen? is this easy "sucess" as artist? just drawing shitty porn for normie people?

fanart by default gets more likes, because the audience is greater. see the #Slpatoon hashtag? people will like it just because they like the character, not the drawing.

Have you ever regarded someone in the same way a man might find a painting of a woman beautiful but not erotic?
A purely kind of aesthetic appreciation.

Just visually measure shit. There is no easy way out if you want to draw well.

He tells you exactly how to do it over about 5 pages before all the plates. Do you have the pdf or just jpg of the plates? Also helps a lot to print it out and have it next to your drawing rather than looking at it on a screen

Just curious
