>He doesn't know about the new secret never before released until now Loomis.

fun with a pencil is good for an introduction to simple construction and forms. it's meant to break symbol drawing habits. it's literally made for beginners. If you do the exercises and don't be one of the idiots who literally just copies bloke faces straight out of the book you should do fine with that.

drawing the head & hands and figure drawing for all its worth have a bit more bite to them.

>>2763977
Could I start with the figure drawing/faces one, or would it really best to begin with fun with a pencil? Don't mind if they're a bit "harder"

His teachings are too vague so beginners don't understand their value.

He's a meme in the same way Starting Strength is a meme on /fit/. It's actually a decent starting point for many beginners, but it gets recommended so often that it sort of has lost its meaning, or people will recommend it as a blanket answer to everything even when it's not applicable. Like when someone asks a question rather than answer properly they will just point to Loomis.

>>2758056

1. Loomis isn't applicable for total beginners. His "Fun with Pencil" is awful book, badly written (it was his first) and with too vague exercises, leaving students with bad aftertaste. Unfortunetaly it's the first book recommended in the sticky.

2. His other books have universal principles, but are too wordy. Stuff on body proportions etc. is good, but as a reference. Most of the stuff he teaches in "Figure drawing" or "Heads and Hands" were covered nowadays by other people in much straightforward manner. See Proko for example, he can explain in 5 minutes head construction that you won't get after reading "Fun with Pencil" for 1 h.

3. While he gives good advice and has skill, he makes mistakes in his books. See famous "ball with 1 pointed lightsource" drawing in his "Figure(...)", you know, the one on which people always show core shadow etc.

It's just shit and very wrong.

4. Finally - he teaches very technical approach to drawing which simply is not good for beginners.

Beginners need to learn very, very basics: drawing from observation, having clean and accurate lines and keeping proportions together. That's why atelier/classical lessons like sight-size method are more suitable for them. People should start with "Keys to Drawing" by Dodson or other books like that.

Also for painters and other artists Loomis might at one hand be simply not enough (anatomy, planes and rhytms of the head: see Reilly's method), and on the other it might not teach enough about gesture and such stuff that you can get from, say, Vilppu or Bridgman.

Overall I'd mostly only use Loomis for reference for figure proportions.

can't post client work mate

but yeah unfortunaly I've been drawing a lot and I'm getting exhausted with the workload (I always get a lot of work in december because of people wanting xmas gifts at the last minute)

The camera captured his talent as a result of the light reflecting off of his atoms and back into the memory. By seeing the image, it transfers the power into you.

Never been a part of one before but I'm helping do concept art for a time travel loli game at 8 chan dot net's /loli/ board inspired by UAB that deals with the 50s and the retrofuture. Here is a concept by the creator himself (Remuslupinart) but here I guess I can post the clothes we will be using for 50s levels.

We hope we can get more concept artists to help since he takes a long time (a perfectionist) so feel free to join the art pool?

Be able to paint whatever I have in mind.

I don't have an end goal per say, because there's always something you can improve. I just want to reach a point where the mistakes are small and don't hurt the idea I want to portray anymore.

>>2764637
Dec. Eyes should be slightly lower and larger, head should get wider towards the top

It is bad.

Based on my standard, you should make the face longer. And the eyes need to bw higher like 1/3 of the face. Take a reference of real anatomy, from that widen the eye about x1.2 time the real one you would get a better anime eye. Pupils should be self centered, also the whole face should get more symmetric. Light reflection should be a bit more lively, you could check pixiv or pinterest how to draw an eye.

The only good thing here is the ponytail.

Good luck trying next time.

Are you unironically posting this from the early 2000's?

most likely leftover resentment from flipping through the books in school in place of actual computer/application skills

It's garbage. The composition is pretty good though.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. What do you think I can improve on?

What would one need to know to create custom brushes for photoshop/gimp that would replicate the brushes Bob uses in his show?

>>2764055
Kinda obvious advice but still nice, most of /ic/ doesn't seem to get it.

Mine would be this classic: never compare yourself to others, focus on getting better yourself, focus on yourself.
