Having trouble getting any better. No matter how much I practice, my skill just won't budge. Watching tutorials everyday for the past 5 months, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone give me advice?
>>
>>2931884
Develop higher standards.
>>
Guys its me, Boss Baby!
>>
this is fucking gross to look at.. the head is gross.
>>
>>2931884
>No matter how much I practice
Define 'practice'
Are you studying from references/life?
>>
Watching tutorials isn't practice. Learn how to draw instead.
>>
>>2931884
Thanks for the long laugh, friend
Make the head smaller and your work will be passable.
>>
>>2931884
the head isn't big enough.
>>
>>2931884
Practice drawing real bodies/life, forget about cartoonish crap, learn about proportions, and after you git gud at real life, then apply your skills to weird chinese cartoon porn
>>
>>2931961
I don't see how OP's pic is pornographic in the slightest unless you're gay.
>>
>>2931884
If you fixed the head and rendered a little bit more it would probably be shadman level.
>>
stop tracing, would be a first.
>>
>>2932092
It's not traced you idiot.
>>
>>2931884
Well for one don't come to /ic/ looking for legitimate advice.

Pretty much everyone here is a crab who wants to shit on anybody doing anything.

So yeah, leave. Go find a real art community to get advice from. Better yet, get mentored by one who is doing what you aim to do. They can teach you better than these faggots can.
>>
>>2932266
Any advice on better art communities?

Also how does one get mentored by someone? It seems like most artists wanna get paid for that kinda work, not knocking them for it. Just an observation.
>>
>>2931884
didnt you notice anything wrong with her head and arms before you started coloring and rendering? you are just wasting time. practice anatomy until you get it right, then bother with the coloring/rendering
>>
>>2931884
Which tutorials have you gone through already and how have you been tackling them?

OP, study proportions in perspective. Seriously, once you understand perspective how to measure divisions in perspective, 99 percent of all the problems that I see in most /ic/ work will be fixed. You should check out the sticky or Discord, they should be able to provide Marshall Vandruff's perspective series which is the best perspectives lessons out there imo.
Once you know how perspective works, look for Krenz tutorials for proportions. You can also learn anatomy and how to break things down into cylinders by drawing them inside of divided cubes from studying him which will help immensely in accuracy and consistency. I'd also recommend Bridgman anatomy as he uses the same shape language of placing organic forms inside of boxes as Krenz. Once you practice the concepts and draw all of the tutorial drawings you should start trying to apply the concepts you learned on real faces and people until you get it right. If one drawing looks off re-draw it until you get it right and make mental notes on how you fucked up. Also looking at yourself and drawing the body parts in many angles will help you understand as well.
TLDR:
1. Learn perspective and form, draw using form, place lines and shapes inside of cubes to analyze proportions in space
2. draw big( you can see your mistakes more and you learn to draw with elbow and arm, don't draw faces smaller than your fist, and don't draw figures smaller than half the size of an A4 size of paper)
3: Do master studies of Krenz and krenz tutorials and anatomical studies of Bridgman. See what they're doing that you're not.
4: Apply concepts learned to draw and ANALYZE real life. Every time you see something and draw it, come up with a way to remember it, draw some funny shapes or use stupid phrases, just do it
5. Repeat steps 3-4, you can choose other artists to learn from, just make sure they're good
6: Make some good hentai

It's more common than you'd think.
But still pretty rare.

don't forget step 6
>>
>>2931884
Stop stylizing for now and focus on realism and accuracy, then start trying to stylize again after you get decent with realistic anatomy and proportions.

>>2933021
that's a slight misuse of realism in this context, naturalism is the proper word, verisimilitude would work in the context too though i guess.
>>
>>2931884
#1 thing should be getting your faces right
The face here looks terrible, probably cause the whole head is to big for the body
>>
>>2933036

>I don't understand English

"More common than you'd think" =/= common. The "more than" is the important detail you left out to smugly animepost.

The day can be "warmer than you expected" and still be quite cold. It can be "lighter out than usual" but still be pretty dark. You could be "smarter than a 5 year old" and still be fucking dumb. It's relative to something, anon.
>>
>>2933749
Wrong. I'm guessing you came out of NA education with that kind of shit logic.
>>
>>2932589
>Marshall Vandruff's perspective series
would you mind posting a link to this
>>
>>2933759
He is not wrong
