I hope you're underaged because I would feel sorry for you if you were still taking algebra 1 as a senior/college student

>>3130250

Not OP but I was in an all black high school and nobody could ever learn in algebra class. Each day consisted of making fun of the filipino man's accent, to dancing in class, to getting into verbal fights with said teacher etc. Any time we had a test it was like it didn't matter. We'd get our grades back and the teacher would just move on like nothing happened. Not everyone had a nice high school like you.

im in hong kong and my pc's back at home so i cant give u the exact terms, but try going to your tablet settings and tweaking around. There should be a bar that lets you adjust the sensitivity to pressure. Just keep digging anon. godspeed.

Problem you're seeing is called shoelacing. Try deleting your wacom preferences. Uninstalling and deleting the old driver. Restart. Download and install wacom driver 6.36-3. Restart. If that doesn't fix it try again. If not still there's some blog post somewhere that outlines a few tweaks that could be the issue.

you just posted a painting anon

Looks like pencil work to me. Mad probably uses photo shop when he colors.

No, you got to draw.

>>3129921
looking is like half of learning how to draw, if you realize how strange it is to expect your mind to know how to reproduce an image in the real world. that is where drawing practise comes in.

Is it possible to learn how to play golf by looking at it?

You'll learn a lot, because of mirror neurons, but you'll have to try it to really learn. Your mind doesn't correspond exactly to reality, so your body needs to experience the difference. Like hitting a golf ball, you can imagine doing it and you'll learn a lot, but when you actually do it, you'll realize small differences like you didn't realize you'd have to stretch your arms that far back, or twist your body a few degrees more than what you imagined etc.. to get a good strike.

When it comes to values you have to unlearn pretty shading at first. Do some studies from the atelier nerds and figure out that way they block them in, because what you'll need to first grasp is grouping them in a presentable and concise way.

Squint a lot at your references at first. You'll notice how big chunks of them stand out and the rest blend. You want to try to make sense of that, it's key.

Once you understand the way values are grouped, start experimenting with where they fall almost - but not quite - seamlessly into each other. That's where you can "lose" your edges. Where one sharply jumps into another is the "found" or hard edges.

Big shapes are still going to need to pop, so be sure that any "leading" edge into a shape retains enough sharpness to catch the eye.

well first of all, not do what this guy said >>3129890
second of all, we cant help you
third everyone learns differently and you absorb knowledge differently, so what can i suggest? know your quirks and find a solution, the solution is not an answer youll find one the web, its an answer youll find with time.

and four, your work isnt going to improve or magically get better if anyone suggests you any kind of course or book, it just doesnt work that way with art at all, you have 2 simple options, you draw or you dont. the rest is time. and if youre in a hurry, well then. no one can help you

>>3129962
why is his advice bad? it looks standard to me... and that's how all artists are taught to block in values!

Loomis tells you to copy everything in the beginning of the book.

do we seriously have to explain studying to you?
do you think loomis is gonna jump out of the book and stab you if you dont exactly do as he tells you to? do you know how to act like an independent adult human being? look at the drawings. try to take them apart. try to understand how loomis got to his finished drawing. christ man its not hard. just use your god damn eyes and brain for once. are you gonna ask the autists on this board how to wipe your ass next?

The way to do Loomis, Hampton, and Bridgman is to draw copies of all their diagrams. Seriously all of them. Then do a bunch of studies from photo and live models. Do some figures from imagination. Then repeat.

The books give you a stronger grasp of what you're seeing in the form itself. Your practice your functional knowledge gained, then you go back for more from the top.

Skipping any step in this will result in knowledge you don't even realize you're missing. Do it right and you'll feel things click.

It isn't a fucking clown. Read the fucking book.

I wish I could read

Animation is the hardest skill to obtain. Sequential art comes in at a somewhat distant second, but definitely in front of all the other stuff like illustration, fine art, concept art etc. If you don't see why that is you're either really stupid or a very uncreative troll.

I did this not even in procreate, but in the generic apple notepad app, with the colored pencil tool. I was trying to experiment shading with reds and blues.

Started this with prismacolors, then took a picture and started working on it in procreate on the Ipad.

Save your money and stay out of art school. Its a waste of time.

read the sticky
read loomis & vilppu books
watch proko videos (YouTube)

good luck

It's sideways

That's a verry good remark. Indeed it is

Maybe it's not. Maybe it's the way OP wanted it to be.

Tracing is fine; the end goal is the result not the process.

However, artists with a trained eye can see traced work and will judge you critically on this.

I have seen artists on /ic/ calling others out on tracing. I always wondered how they do that.

Are you an artist with a trained eye?

>>3129705
Some signs:

1. Pose might look a bit stiff
2. Quality of artist's body of work may be inconsistent between pieces
3. Wonky anatomy especially if they traced from a photo that has strong foreshortening or distortion
4. If the artist has a usually cartoony style, realistic proportions from tracing are more apparent
