what age did you start drawing to get better at it?
what age is too late?
>>2305568
if you are legally posting at this site its already too late
Age is an illusion, age is abstract. The only thing that matters is how much time you put into it.
If you lived forever would you think that because you're 200 years old it's too late?
>>2305571
what is mental elasticity
Whats in your comfort zones /ic/ ?
>>2315072
Floating heads, usually dudes. Futa. Lineart, no rendering or color. That's the shit I doodle when I'm not feeling up to pushing myself.
>>2315072
anatomy, perspective, poses, i'm like the complete opposite of tumblrs, but I can't render for shit so all my stuff looks bad/incomplete.

Questions go in the QUESTION THREAD
This is for posting studys & getting critique.
>Thread study: Since nobody seems to draw people, lets just go back to animals.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - there are many studies left unreplied, which is bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

I ask this on the last thread
>Beginner here, why do you guys suck loomis' dick? I don't understand why you guys worship him like he's a great artist or something. I mean he's good but there are better artist out there and you guys are just trying to make everyone draw like him instead of developing individual skills
>>2316123
sucking loomis' dick is just an /ic/ meme

Post your current drawing here and give constructive critique to others!
Please make sure your posted image is clear, downsized to around 1000 pixels wide, rotated to the correct orientation, and that any unused space is cropped.
If you want critique on a drawing from the previous thread, you can delete it there and repost in this one.

So is the era of counter formalism about to begin?
Post em now.
Rules:
-Do not rate or give critiques unless if the artist specifically requests it.
-If someone is RUDE tell them to not expect much from an hour's work.
-Posting WIP's, studies, "doodles", and random sketches are highly encouraged.

These rules make me so fucking angry, it's unbelievable. why don't you fucks go to tumblr or deviantart with this shit.

This is for posting studys & getting critique.
>Thread study: This one is rather advanced because its quite likely people here struggle even with a basic head drawing, but its nice to branch out sometimes. Try doing some different expressions, maybe fill a whole page with them -> simplyfication is the key for quick skecthing, capture what makes the expression unique.

From the old thread. How does this look, am I on the right track?
Would drawing images from anatomy books then trying again from memory count as a good exercise? Doing that with Bridgman Drawing from Life.
>>2311900
No. Focus on getting proportion right with your drawing first. Don't forget to match the background value as well otherwise your subject's value will be off. For hair, focus on the whole thing by squinting hard. After squinting the value is about as dark as the background and only slightly lighter than her hoodie. The only light part appears at the top, not the individual strands on the side.

you suck
Questions go here.
Why don't we draw lips?
Does it add too much detail to that specific part of the face in comparison to the rest? Is it because the lips aren't so much a form as a color change?
I have this horrible habit of wanting to add a bottom lip to my drawings and it makes my characters look pouty or just plain retarded. This has been happening less and less as I catch myself, but I think it's just from growing up feeling that when you draw a girl you have to draw the lips.
>>2308206
I think its because it has too much of a contrast when the rest of the face and body isnt shaded and it just ends up looking bad.
What kind of brush is that?
Hello /ic/, my name is Boxman and I was born with a box attached my to my head.
I am offering my services as a nude model for /ic/, as my condition leaves me little job oppurtunities elsewhere.
I can take pose requests, so
If this sounds like a good idea, let me know.
Sincerely, Boxman.
>>2306366
lel, thats one ugly body. i wouldnt want to use it as a ref.
>>2306366
Alright boxman.
Do more 3/4 poses with that stick
I too favor stick poses. Maybe like it's a spear.
Show your progress between 2 dates within the past 6 months.
You got worse.
You didn't say how far apart the dates had to be.
>>2286559
definite improvement on the lines but the wheels perspective are off on both.remember the minor axis of the ellipse points towards the vanishing point, along the line of the axle
dates can be as far apart as you like
Is this the level that you need to be to get work as an artist? This guy got a year long contract to work for a tabletop games company.

What do you d/ic/ks think of Ctrl Paints tutorials?
http://www.ctrlpaint.com/library/
They're a really nice introductory resource to digital art, I find. The videos often lack depth but has really good breadth, and he's generally pretty succinct and says what needs to be said in 5-10 minutes. Generally his advice is pretty reasonable too.
>>2317453
Good. He is the only resource I've found that actually tells you how to use photoshop properly. I bought his first package and in one of the series he goes through how he made a digital painting from start to finish, It is nice to see the process.
bad
How come when I draw on paper I'm like Michaelangelo but when I draw on my tablet I draw like a 12 year old deviantart user?
>>2317359
Post comparison.
>>2317360
my thought exactly.
It's probably because you're using sketchy lines and messy draftsmanship to hide your poor drawing skills, but I can't know unless I see a comparison.
