Hey, I'm playing round with sketching freehand, no guides. And I'm wondering which of these sketches look better and if possible, why.

If not possible, just which look better to your unbiased eyes than the others is cool.

Thanks for your time, /ic/.

(Sketches will include 3 pics, the thread pick + 2 more I'm going to post after this.)

Time's getting slim and I only have time for an hour to draw a day from Mon to Thurs. How can I get more out of practice each day? How should I allocate that studying shit up within that hour? How can I speed up?

Anybody here work full time and do all their study before work?
I have heard that if i come home from work, have a shower and go to bed and set my alarm for 8 hours then wakeup and go onto that schedule i will get better gains.

Basically work is the last thing i do in the day and i get my study in before hand.

Does it work? ill be a wreck at work but will i improve faster?

Who else is doing this?

>5 mins of drawing something I struggle with
>Entire night of wrist pains

Anyone else have this shit. If I'm just mindlessly painting something I can go several hours and my wrists don't hurt at all. But when I study something I'm not good at my wrists just die on me. I was told by another artist once that he would feel pain in his hands whenever he went to study, but then when he'd stop it would go away right away. He said that he just pushed through it and that it eventually went away. I'm worried though that because my wrists don't stop hurting for a long time after that if I try that it will end up doing permanent damage.

I've heard of things like wrists splints and the sort. But I was wondering if something like that would just weaken my wrists further. Maybe I could just wear one when I draw things that stress me out? What do you guys do to take care of your wrists? And does anyone have anything similar to me?

I should mention too that I'm a weak, thin person who is very easily stressed. I know that is the reason why my wrists are probably so fucked, but I really struggle with gaining more weight and dealing with stress. Of course that's no means to just accept it and do nothing about it. But I don't want to sit around and not be able to study until I've gotten healthier, because that could be a long time from now.

I already read the rules and beginners guide.

When I was a kid, 8-13yo, I used to draw comic and anime characters (Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, etc).

Also drew a lot of comics and would gift them to some people, random ass stories, etc.

Anyway, I wanna get back to it. But I don't wanna go back to pencil/paper kinda drawing, I'd prefer to get pens/mechanical pencils and tools that make things way easier. I know a good artist can draw awesome shit out of a napkin and an old ball point pen. I'm not trying to impress anyone, just wanna draw for myself, the max I wanna draw is a something that I can hang above my bed header in a frame.

Anyway, what's a good mechanical pencil, or pencil that's easy on the hand?

What do you call those easy to erase blue pencils people use for initial sketch? (skeleton/shape)

You got a recommended how to draw anime book? I did a google search but obviously too many choices.

I'm also an adult with a good paying job, so I don't mind having a budget from $100-$500 for pencils/erasers/markers/whatever (unless it turns out that's way underbudget for this)

From my understanding, the process is skeleton in that blue pencil, then sketch in black pencil, then marker for the good lines, and then erase all the pencil stuff (This coming from art I've comissioned in the past)

So I'd like to figure out how to kick-start this. I'm not looking to be an artist, I just wanna draw for myself and not suck at it.

This is one of my acrylic pieces at the moment, unfortunately my scanner does not have enough space to scan the whole painting so I had to compile two images together, which causes a lot of problems with lighting and a lot of other things. How can I get a good quality high-res photo without my shitty scanner?

Is there any market whatsoever left for work like this? I know this may not be the best place to ask considering all the threads I can see but I'm serious.

Hey lads. Finally got started with digital last night and of course got my ass handed to me. Obviously not used to the tablet but other things I just need a bit of advice on. Basic things. Like what is a pretty good standard canvas size to work with? Good brush sizes and settings for sketching and inking? In general I an not a complete beginner or anything. Another thing I'm interestred in is advice about mastering the pressure sensitivity aspect and creating good lines.

This is all so new. appreciate any tips or even links to tutorials for this fundamental stuff.

I would also ask how to get used to the tablet but I think the answer is just to use it.
