Been around over a year now, which isn't that long I suppose but long enough. I come here for the same reason I go to /agdg/ on /vg/. I find it inspirational to see people not let their dreams be dreams, as Shia Labeouf once so eloquently put it.

How do I draw beautiful noses?

>>2882007
PM Firez, he's pretty good.

>>2882007
by not drawing noses because noses are an ugly feature of human beings that easily gets fucked up and becomes unattractive

why else do you think anime noses are just dots

I know, but some guys draw pretty noses.

>>2882013
Can't tell if sarcasm, but after watching the video of those monks who just wipe away days of work's worth of sand art just to restart, I felt I should do the same since my drawings are shit to begin with so it's no loss.

I got into the habit of starting a new layer and redrawing the whole thing, even if I don't see anything wrong yet, just to see a difference. I don't recommend for illustrators though, this just has you practicing forms and construction over and over, more suitable for learning comic art where the lack of color makes proper form and linework more prominent.

>>2882025
Thanks for answering senpai. The mindset that you have shined upon me has opened my eyes to a new sight. Perhaps, I may walk the path in the coming time for it sounds quite interesting.

Teaser for potential upcoming project

>>2882530
all the people who answered are ding dongs, your only problem is composition, it's boring (too symmetrical; the forest to the left on the far ground isn't doing much either, not contributing to your focal point and a bit wanting if you're going for detail)

Play around with the lighting to make your focal point stand out, also tweak the foreground and background, the picture needs a lot more movement in general to keep the eye interested (via values and more interesting shapes).

Reference older manga. If you look at 50s era they will be fairly realistic. In the 60s and 70s they are usually large and stylised. They got small and stylised in 80s 90s. And then they got replaced by dots in mid 2000s.

Nice. Left one could have the torso be more thin to exaggerate the upward looking perspective. 2nd one could have her torso smaller too and bending forward more while her ass could be bigger. Top right one is okay. Bottom right one looks fine, I think.

But please don't disregard good construction because of my lack of skills.
Every line you take needs to consider it's placement in every coordinate; both the 2 of your canvas and the 3 of your stage. Construction's only purpose is to help you relate in terms of the stage. Construction is the best tool you have to place the 3 dimensional forms. Much love, please redline my drawings too~

Drawing from reference? Anyone can do it. Even a circus elephant can.

How can you draw from inspiration if you're understanding of anatomy is totally off maybe start using your head a bit, drawing from a reference doesnt mean copying and pasting. It's more of gaining new techniques and ways how to draw these anatomical structures on a certain angle, everytime you draw from a reference you gain a new understanding of anatomy if you believe that inspiration will make your art anatomically look better please revisit your understanding.

>How can you draw from inspiration if you're understanding of anatomy is totally off maybe start using your head a bit,
Do you think people can become a billionaire by reading a 'guidebook' made by a billionaire? How about ten guidebooks, to make it sure?
Maybe you're the "Edison type" who sees inspiration unimportant and think it's all 99% hard work (c).

There is a difference between:
What they say.
What they think.
What they think they're doing.
What they say they do (which is actually what they think they do).
-and-
What they actually do.

You're the type to believe in someone else rather than yourself or put all your hopes in a guidebook as if it is the holy grail. Not the case if you have a mentor.

>drawing from a reference doesnt mean copying and pasting.
Of course but drawing a piece takes a lot of time especially when you're a beginner.
>It's more of gaining new techniques and ways how to draw these anatomical structures on a certain angle, everytime you draw from a reference you gain a new understanding of anatomy
Same can be achieved through o__________ alone plus it saves you time. In fact it is the root of all techniques. Cooking, gardening, you name it. If you're learning to cook by cooking everyday then you're gonna waste a hell lot of food. Same with traditional art and gardening (poor plants). Keep on o________ and inspiration will appear. What if it don't? Then it haven't. Ever heard of writer slump?

>if you believe that inspiration will make your art anatomically look better please revisit your understanding.
Inspiration is more complicated than what you think it is. Even a neural network of AI machine learning will never have the ability to learn from inspiration but have the ability to see anatomy and perspective through a camera. Not convinced? Can you compose music without inspiration? Maybe ask a jazz improviser if they don't need inspiration. You just need 1 percent of "it" :^) (c) to become a proud second-rate.

I draw face according to my style. Remove construction for a while if it becomes constriction and focus on your longest developed style.

>>2883649
Im not saying that inspiration isnt required in drawing the quite opposite im in aid with inspiration makes the process alot more fun and interesting. Im just saying that you wont magically learn anatomy by just "Inspiration". Yes inspiration makes this progress alot better. but you still need to know how does anatomy works the best way is attempting drawing from references. you learn by attempting. not inspiration.

No, btw, who is wapspite ? I chose this hair style because it is the most simple. Her clothes are not that hard to draw....

Question about drawing backgrounds like pic related (not mine). Is it actually fine to take a photo of a scene like that, put it as your background layer in Photoshop and just draw over it with some additional tweeks to make it look more colorful, etc.?
I'm by any means not a good paintist when it's up to drawing from my imagination but that way I could achive some very good looking paintings and tons of comments on how awesome my work is. What do you think about it?

Amazing, anon, look's a lot better, I get confuse with the lights because i'm not used to do tha pose.
Going start studying that right now.

>>2884192
Honestly backgrounds are just perspective and lightings, so don't be afraid of it. Photobashing is the worst. If you don't know how to make a good layout and you haven't mastered your values your photo bashed bg will look like shit anyway. For backgrounds you can get away with a lot of stylisation and simplification. So it doesn't even require a lot of work to get something going. You can do like mignola or frank miller and do all the impressive stuff in composition leaving big simplistic backgrounds. It will work for manga style too, don't worry, the perspective just have to be more emphasized.

also lol before anyone makes the joke i jus realized the back of the hood looks like a fuckin face voldemort style

>>2884195
as wonky as the anatomy is in this i actually love how insane you made the pose, it's got a really fun impossible flow to it, i bet (or at least i hope) you had a lotta fun drawing that. might i suggest adding some more lineweight variation to it if you plan to take it further? could really help add to the dynamicism and help direct the action/movement/flow through the piece more effectively

ooh also her left arm/hand/gun (our right) is a bit lost in the silhouette tho, i'd suggest trying to make it more towards the viewer/in perspective more or pointing it in such a way that the arm is able to be read more clearly

Getting a good understanding of color is as much about milage as any other creative skill. If you stop midway you'll never learn it. Make color studies and color thumbnails. Analyse other people's color use. There are a ton of easy techniques that are proven to work; learn them all. Follow tutorials. Once you know all the techniques read Color and Light by James Gurney to understand why the techniques work without depending on them.

So I tried to change my style a little and that's what I came up with. The problem is: Every time I draw it just looks like a super-friendly elve.
This bothers me... I want a style that's a little more dark, sharp and dare I say edgy. But I really don't know how to build an edgy art style.

I don't know why but I always spend 30 minutes just trying to draw the cheek and the jawline to look like those cute anime girls only for it to look goofy while I spend 5 minutes doing the whole body and it looks alright.
Any tips on how I can stop myself from getting too attached to the face?

>>2885634

Sounds like you haven't fully internalized stylization yet, especially something as heavily stylized as animu faces. Study your favorite artists and see how they go about it.

>>2885661
Yeah not to sound rude but I figured that on my own, I've been studying my favorite artists for weeks and trying to draw the curves as they do it but it never looks quite right.
I generally try to redraw the picture side by side instead of tracing over since I figured It wouldn't teach me anything if I just drew over it.
How did you go about studying your favorite artists?

You're spending too much time trying to get something perfect. Not a good practice, especially when it comes down to getting a drawing done before anything else. You're being too dedicated on one small detail, normies aren't going to nickpick on something that subtle, as long as it works on your first glance than you're done, move on.

Learn to spend time learning as you go, and let mistakes happen. Time spend learning can be applied to training (e.g Loomis studies) while drawing to draw should be separate, independent going from said training.

>>2885833
So, just let it be, really?
Well, how about just drawing with reference from other artists, wouldn't that also help just solve my problem along with trying to ignore it?

>>2885720
not sure how to answer your question but the hand on the viewers right is backwards - thumb should face away from the body if upside down like that

>>2885846
As long as you just don't worry too much about getting details beyond perfect. Just trying a bit more each time you draw something different is much more proactive than spending 20 days on one drawing. You gotta bite the bullet sometimes, especially if you're doing something for someone else via commission/request.

this is way too stiff imo, and her legs are waaay too big. Even for a stylized character. You went right till the crotch area. When you make a character don't go more than 7 heads and a half at most, usually people are 6-7 heads.
You can go as far as remove a whole head from her legs and it'll still look better.

i draw the shape for it extremely large, like 5x the size actually on the image, make a couple patterns but scribble 'threads' lightly with a thin brush on the inside, then shrink it down and copy/paste/transform along the hem...it's actually really messy but shrinking it so much makes it look intentionally neat

What software do you draw on?

Should I read Keys to Drawing by Bert Dodson if I'm having trouble breaking down figures into cubes or study construction a bit further?

>>2886134
What you need to do is spend more time drawing figures and breaking them down, books don't do shit for you, you need to draw. You already know what a body looks like anon.

>>2886138
I've been drawing all day.
I was just wondering if I missed something, I'm having trouble "seeing" the cubes.

>>2886139
All day? Only one day? Usually you learn this stuff over weeks and months, anon.

Anyways, that feeling of missing something is always there because we're always learning even as masters continue to learn. We'll never reach perfection. Mind drawing something quick to show what you mean by "seeing" the cubes though? Usually the cubes keep you in perspective that way, you know which direction the body is facing then what planes correspond to the body.

lol. tumblr nose is what happens when you take something very cartoony like a significantly redder nose and cheeks and add it to a realistic looking face, thus creating a disconnect and looking "wrong." It certainly can work if the rest of the stylistic choices made enables it to work.

As in it isn't attractively drawn, or as in it isn't fully explicit? If the latter than yeah I guess porny is the wrong word. Erotic?

Started this today. Might do something with it if I have time.

I think you're lighting your character from the front but the light is coming from the back. Maybe you could remove the light source from the back which would make your background darker and make the silhouette detach a bit more.

Glad to see you 2 back here. Great work as always. Only crit I have is why did you leave out the shadow on the ground plane under the monster thingy? Kinda makes him look a bit floaty.
