Buy this book, it's a great starting point for anyone. Right now you are drawing with symbols. Try looking in the mirror and draw what you see. All the fine lines, the imperfections in your face, the values (shading etc.)

You are also drawing "hairy" lines, this is a bad habit. Be confident and draw longer lines. Don't erase either, if your first line was bad, draw over or next to it, this is called restating.

Draw on printer paper you bellend

Gitgud is a verb, not a noun. It's a state of being, the constant chase. It's when you strive to be better.

Also been a while since I read Arzach, is that the lady that's actually a monster or something?

You don't say

you really shouldn't spend trips so frivilously

I'd try to talk to your local museum and see what they say, probably they can put you in touch with someone who can tell if it's genuine or not.

What type of sculpture is it?

I also did this real fast to make sure I could stipple. That was the first thing I've stippled haha

You appear to have no talent, you'll fit right in at art school. Dont worry about the portfolio, it can be literal shit as long as your artist statement is pretentious enough

I do a lot of mural paintings locally and make money doing it. That's probably where my best work is.

You could look for model viewers and extract the models from games

garrys mod, using it myself

there's one way of transfering photocopier ink into stuff by using a liquid solvent. It woorks with wood and you can work on a detailed piece of lineart in photoshop so you can transfer it or also drawing on paper, scanning it, cleaning it up and transfering it to wood. Don't forget to flip the image because it will print mirrored.

Use dense woods with a high burning temperature, preferably run by a calibration sanding machine so they are totally flat and even.

About the color, try dilluted gouache, watercolors or acrylics if you can handle them. Pencils won't work well unless the surface has a microscopically even grain (like paper). Stick to wet media.

Good luck. You can get really nice results out of pyrography. Find inspiration in traditional tattoos, etching engraving and any other line-based technique. Good luck.

Thank you for the advice. That solvent transferring technique looks interesting, might be worth it more to just do that instead of freehanding it/using that shitty paper. It worked ok on the near-paper-smooth basswood I got with my kit but was shit for the rough cut wood I used on OP pic.

Thanks for the advice on the wood- I can't afford a sanding machine but I might settle for getting a tool so I don't have to use the sandpaper by hand. I might experiment with using watercolors in my next try, might burn something simpler with clearer lines, hate how the pencil turned out. Again thanks, I'm just soaking up all of the info I can get so I can start doing cool stuff and fucking up less

Just to add, I did all the silly cartoon heads up to page 31. After that, I just skimmed through everything else.

free of charge

Worksafe requests go to >>>/wsr/.
Also, there's a special board for design (/gd), but know that you're highly unlikely to find anyone willing to do free work outside of /wsr/ or /r/.

I'll do it for free, if you can help me out with an English text. I'm not a native English speaker so could use some help with the grammar.
My emailaddress is [email protected] (it's my spam account), please send me an email.

Why is it always eyes.

draw things that aren't just eyes and you'll be well on your way. what do you want to draw in particular, other than eyes?

>>2337770
I was interested in drawing eyes at this moment because I wanted to apply it to another project I'm going to work on. BUT I would also like to figure out hair, hands, feet, noses. I want to draw humans? But those are the things I get the most frustrated with...along with eyes because I dunno how to draw lashes.

>>2337759
Just buy them. They are the best bang-for-buck art book around.

>>2337769
get them from amazon at least. They are like $20 when they are $40 from an actual store.

$20 is perfectly fair for something like this I think. I personally won't spend more than $25 on an artbook cus Ima poor. I don't pirate either.

Stop being cheap cunts.

>>2337769
I plan on buying them in the future anyway. Just wanna browse thru and see whats featured in the latest ones really.

I love artisan baked sandwiches myself :^)

Not your personal army.

Not trying to be contrarian for the sake of it but it was one of the worst how to draw books I've come across, it's so full of fluff it's even worst than drawing on the right side of the brain.

Best book coming through.

Gave its kickstarter a peep. Looks like a cringeworthy rpg-esque interpretation of learning how to draw.
