Ayo, anybody willing to help me correct the neck? I've been working on this lately and now I'm mindblocked lo

[edgy tide]

@manic hearth

I feel like neck is focused on the front.

[barren river]

hey, sorry for the late response but next time try pushing the chest up a bit :)

[brazen trail]

Depends what mood she has. She looks a bit slouchy and depressed because of the upper back-neck curvature and forward head position

[strong night]

The collar bone would likely stick out a bit since she does look sad and moody I recommend the head tilt a bit down and both the back and neck correspond with it

I need help! I'm trying to paint some vegetables but I don't know where to start!

[scenic tiger]

make a outline of the vegis using a pencil (mainly so you can erase them) then paint over it

[brazen trail]

Buy a carrot and dip it in some paint

[idle wing]

Wow that opened my eyes 🤩 I’ll take this advice to my canvas 🎉

[vernal carbon]

well, it would be good to first take a look at the vegetables you're wanting to paint, take a look at how it reflects light, the colors, the shading, the details, and try to just copy it a couple times, try to draw different variants of the same vegetable, and you'll eventually be able to paint em flawlessly, but it will just take time. and practice

it's okay to mess up a couple times, but that's what practice is for

[wise plover]

it really depends on what kind of paint your using. in acrylic paint it's easy to layer and fix mistakes. in watercolor it dries quicker and it can be a bit harder to blend, but its easy to change how strong a color is with water. for both, it's great to learn how to mix colors and how to blend, so you should try and mix the whole color wheel and blend different colors before you go on to painting veggies if you haven't. I recommend painting veggies with only the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue), in doing so you can learn to match colors better, and maybe move on to choose different color palettes. (i'm more used to watercolor, so i'm not sure if you need to use white or black with acrylics) it's nice to draw from real life, so practice painting with actual veggies in front of you, and don't forget to paint the shadow the veggie casts. in watercolor, make sure to leave room for highlights. when painting colorful veggies, blend them carefully so that the colors don't turn out muddy. practice different shadows, light sources, and veggies with different textures. i'm not a professional, but I got similar advice from an art teacher, so I hope this helps!

Thanks!

how to draw hands and feeet corectly

[last junco]

Using references are useful, I like to pose my hand in the way I’m drawing it lol but it helps a lot

[strong bane]

thx

[deep robin]

Also move the head of the character back

[carmine tinsel]

Everything is good except just cut the head and move it behind.

Also make the so called slouch longer than the back

[karmic smelt]

Im NOT a professional artist but i think u can improve some things:

1. Candle
   To improve candle shape you need first to draw the cylinder as a base and with frame to frame basing on the same cylinder shape make wax slowly dropping. Right now it looks like wax is shy to move and wax on the corners don't make anything.
   Fire movement looks really nice but if u want you may first frames of it fill inside instead of lines

2. Eye
   While waking up the eye should be more symmetric and don't change rotation. Its 1th perspective and blank points shouldn't rotate but the image and in this case we have white picture so no rotations.

3. Camera
   Camera should go only from up to down if head rotates only in z axis

4. Shading
   You can try thiner lines for oc shading

That's all :)
I hope it will help you

How to draw well consistently and not only when I'm bored, in a notebook?

[young kelp]

how do i improve?

[blazing fern]

Looking for a website to view 3D shapes such as square cylinder rectangles and more, pls lmk any info if have any (free websites only)

[vagrant lichen]

tinkercad has a lot more features then what you need and there might be a bit of a learning curve but it should work for that

[placid shuttle]

how get good fast

[vagrant lichen]

short answer you can't. long answer draw from references, break up into simple shapes, find artists you admire and try to replicate parts of their art style in your art, and most importantly KEEP DRAWING even if you think it's bad. i know everyone says this but it's true, the only way to get better is to practice

[vagrant lichen]

With figure drawing specifically? You do a great job at breaking up the figure into simple shapes but it looks kind of stiff. Try to use a line of action to find the pose- thinking about weight distribution in the action they are doing, and how they look before and after the frame you draw them in. References are super important to get a fluid looking pose, don't be afraid to use them. I personally use line-of-action dot com to practice, and there are some more figure drawing tips on there

[silk jackal]

[young kelp]

How do i draw female anatomy

[young kelp]

Also these look like theyre from google

[tardy zenith]

they are from google

[karmic smelt]

DON'T lie!!!
Google have a image search function and when i uploaded there i got 5 websites with the same image

[rich beacon]

Also apparently they were made over 6 years ago so

[thick wagon]

is anything off

[stoic pulsar]

the hand and right arm

idk tbh i like ur drawing

[thick wagon]

ty

ill try fixing it

[deep robin]

The right boob looks off, it should droop a little more downwards. And ofc the hand, left needa anatomy work while the right’s finger joints are incredibly long, and the wrist gets cut in half by the turtle neck

[deep robin]

Umm, likelyhood is, it’s a skill issue. When drawing “for reals”, you limit yourself for fear of making a mistake unlike the sketches. By being more free with your lines, you’d be able to replicate the same skill level your sketch has. Furthermore it also depends on your motivation, time and effort placed into an art piece to be consistent. Studying varying anatomy, angles, and postures may help improve consistency as it gets you into the habit of drawing things more flowy as opposed to stiff

[deep robin]

Practice makes perfect, keep practicing anatomy, studying it from different sources, postures and angles. Although it is quite stiff currently, overtime when you get into the habit of drawing a certain pose of a human, you are more free and confident with your lines. It simply takes time. Overall, it is a good idea to start breaking down shapes of human proportions through the use of references, in this case, tracing is actually an appropriate way to learn as long as it is temporary. It will help to break down shapes of certain postures/human body parts. A great ex of tracing to help is: Ethan Becker from YT

[thick wagon]

tysm ill be sure to try to fix that

[rich beacon]

Ty

[young kelp]

i think drawing foories are easier ngl

No learning muscles

[young kelp]

Does that mean i can trace 3d models i pose around and stuff

[timid cloud]

how do i learn to draw humans (heads faces body etc.)

[young kelp]

Learn anatomy

Easy

Also youtube tutorials

[young kelp]

Also how do i get moteevated

[strange nacelle]

do something you enjoy (eg videogames) and be inspired to draw smthn

[young kelp]

no

That doesnt help

[strange nacelle]

ok
i dunno what else to say

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[young kelp]

Uhhhhh

how do i

improve

in posing

im too dumb for line of action

[stark rain]

всем привет может соберём большую компанию и сыграем?

[young kelp]

this background that is made in 1 minute (used brushes LOL)

[deep robin]

Yes

[deep robin]

Good way is to browse Pinterest art, then feel horrible about your own art, which motivates you to get better

[deep robin]

However I do recommend starting from photos of people in various poses as well. You can practice breaking down body shapes as well as clothes/folds

[young kelp]

What if

I put character in realistic background

I should find artyle taht is easy but very good looking

[cunning niche]

Give Me Art Suggestions

And I'll Maybe Draw A Few Of Them

[thick wagon]

backround suggestions asap

[deep robin]

I mean..it might look off to have a cartoony character in a real background

[deep robin]

Maybe something like. Def not “easy” but it’s simple and should be relatively quicker to pick up the style

[young kelp]

YESS THAT ONE

[timber pendant]

its the girl from that one animatic wowowoow

[young kelp]

Is there something wrong with my boob

Yayayayaya

People say i dont draw like a begginer but i started drawing in january 2023

is that tru

[zinc salmon]

you already have some anatomy skills & yk how to use guidelines so that's why you look more experienced

really good for two months man, did you have prev experience drawing traditionally?

[young kelp]

All i did was watch youtube tutorials and stare at a skeleton in my science textbook

[zinc salmon]

lmaoo

yt tip videos >>>

[young kelp]

need work to drawing arms tho

Very weird

[deep robin]

Need stability in line work, bring the boob down lower(it’s too high up). And in all honesty it’s kinda looking like a butt more than boobs

[young kelp]

butt booba

But ok

I will bring it more lower

small change but is it alright now

[young kelp]

I got too focused on improving my anatomy that i forgot how to use it

[deep robin]

Still looks like a butt lmao

[young kelp]

nipples

[young kelp]

HOW DO I USE THE POSE I MADEI FORGOT😭😭

Do i just look at reference to remember how the limb connect

Wait isnt there a triangle thing in the shoulders

[deep robin]

It changes depending on view point(angle and posture)

That’s why we practice a variety of angle and poses, build habit so we know how to draw out the outline of so and so posture(over time, that habit develops so much, you won’t need to draw out the fancy triangles and circles to draw that specific pose, it will come naturally)

[young kelp]

do i look at references when i forget how the connection of the limbs look like

[deep robin]

Yes

[young kelp]

Damn i couldve used that

[deep robin]

Rather than start drawing a bunch characters, the fastest way to improve would be to put at least a year just to focus on human and animal anatomy, shapes, backgrounds

[rich beacon]

if I find animal anatomy easier than human anatomy, do i need to put that year imporing animals or improvinghumans?

[young kelp]

Both

[twilit dew]

i just wanna know can anyone tell what this is?

idk if i should add more to it either or if that’ll make it worse 😭

[young kelp]

Do i need to make this more gravity affected or pointy

[slim olive]

not really, unfortunately

[slim olive]

I think you could start adding details to the shape, but I also think you should get the right anatomy down first before you do so

[wise plover]

sorry this is probably wrong, but is it a car mirror? don't get me wrong, it looks really cool and detailed, but it's very abstract.

[brittle void]

How should I draw the eyes on the girl with black hair so that it looks normal

[young kelp]

How do i improve arm

[young kelp]

Thats sad no one responded

[twilit dew]

it’s a car headlight!

2002 Porsche 911

[twilit dew]

dawg i cannot draw people 😭

[young kelp]

Then draw furries

Its wayyh easier because i dont have to learn about muscle

[thick wagon]

LMAO

[young kelp]

oh my god i thought it was my bad anatomy

[thick wagon]

i cant help you because i dont even understand arms

like its so hard to make them look normal and not like a twig

you can just avoid drawing muscles by drawing poofy sweater sleeves

thats all i gotta say

[young kelp]

NOOOOOOO

Wait

I know an idea

[thick wagon]

[young kelp]

I will make the furry im drawing

Have xtra fur

[thick wagon]

splendid idea

[young kelp]

Best idea

[thick wagon]

very big brain

[young kelp]

this is me rn

[thick wagon]

[young kelp]

Ashehahdhwa

At least you know how to shade

Guess ill stick to my arms

[thick wagon]

good luck

[slim olive]

Use references

[young kelp]

Good idea

[young kelp]

What websites do i need to study human anatoomy

[slim olive]

Pinterest is good place to start

[thick wagon]

i agree with elysio

[young kelp]

I mean deviant art is a pinterest for drawings sooo

[daring dust]

no links i guess

[young kelp]

thanks for adding it, i tried posting it as a link but the message was removed

[rich beacon]

Yeah, it seems like one of the bots does not like external hyperlinks

[young kelp]

Any deformalities?

Thats sad no one responded

[keen stream]

not much to critique i would at least finish multiple bust drawings(practice sheet, or a complete drawing

[young kelp]

What is a bust drawing

[keen stream]

chesticles

[young kelp]

chesticles

[keen stream]

just do what you did there the first time in different angles or different positions

[young kelp]

okay lol

Also what shape is the best for the pelvis

[keen stream]

use a trapezoid to start

[young kelp]

òk

[deep robin]

The boobs are kinda spread apart. Otherwise great attempt :).

[young kelp]

Thanks

[young kelp]

Is this better (boobs move 19 pixels more to the center)

[keen stream]

in all honesty you need to draw more than a singular drawing of the front view of boobs to improve, almost identical to the one from 20 minutes ago
i think you got the general idea plus multiple references now you just need more execution

[young kelp]

its supposed to be in the front angle

im drawing someone

[young kelp]

But sure

Ill try to draw other angles like

After

[thick wagon]

try drawing an upsidedown heart and use that as a base to help you shape the boobs like use the heart as a guideline. Then draw the boobs on top of that guideline with actual shape and weight to make them look like it

but anyways good job on improving since the last drawing!

[young kelp]

hhhhhhahahwhensjm

i cant draw sides😭

Im gonna be that one artist that draws on the same angle

[rich beacon]

tat's veryy limiting

[young kelp]

Hmmmm

My brain isnt big enough to think in 3d

i need to learn this to draw sides i think

[rich beacon]

iiuc, just how you split objects to rectangles, triangles and circles, you'll need to split things to prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones and spheres. to get the 3d shape

[young kelp]

what if i just split them into coobies

Like this

[rich beacon]

dass just still prisms.
it works

[young kelp]

Cool

[rich beacon]

another example

[young kelp]

Hn2kmwmmq

They said to make the boob closer to the center

[rich beacon]

remember the little ridge over the boobs

[young kelp]

This is the unmoved one

[rich beacon]

.

clearly, it's an improvement

[young kelp]

Why the dot

I would compare the ribcage to an elongated and flattened Rhombicuboctahedron

[young kelp]

Rhombwhatever

[thick wagon]

blue or red?

[river igloo]

Red

[young kelp]

Crap try at drawing 3d object (i need to learn prespective)

[peak grove]

i feel like blue balances it out

[young kelp]

First attempt at prespective. Kinda bad

[stone lantern]

Not that bad honestly 👍

[young kelp]

I live in asia

Therefore i must learn how to draw and compose music

uhhh

xyz axis horizon line blah blah

wait can i make the pelvis bigger for making booty bigger

I think the body is tok hign

High

[rich beacon]

For me, it more about making the gluteus muscles bigger, but I can see it. Like, I see it as more about the muscle and fat tissues on the pelvis and pegs being bigger but the distances between the legs unchanged.

[young kelp]

i dont know a single thing about human anatomy so i understand nothing (sorry lol)

[rich beacon]

What I said was that my humble opinion is that you can make the pelvic shape bigger to make the butt, for luck of better words, bigger, but you need to remember:

1. Not to change the distance between the legs
2. How do butts looks from the side, like, they are a bit weird

[young kelp]

okay

i will try to follow the image in the top left

[rich beacon]

That is from the front, try getting like a medical muscular system diagram from the side

[young kelp]

Ok

[rich beacon]

Example commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gluteus_maximus_3D.gif

Even better commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gluteus_all.gif

[young kelp]

ngl the first example reminds me of 2000s 3d graphics

[rich beacon]

Guess what they are and when were they created

[young kelp]

booty muscles

Using this as reference

[rich beacon]

👍

[young kelp]

Hmm

Any deformalities?

[rich beacon]

The ilium is a bit too high

Is there a pro artist that can help

[young kelp]

ilium

is that the scientific term for booty

Ou i get it now

[rich beacon]

More like one of the booty's bones, the one that looks like parts of a broken bowl

[rich beacon]

Much better

[young kelp]

Guys this is my friends art and uhhh it seems a little off

[rich beacon]

My guess would be the head and hands

[keen stream]

it looks like they just referenced some anime screenshots without understanding the actual proportions but dont do your friend dirty like that i hope they gave you permission to post this here

[young kelp]

xerc3g

[young kelp]

Poopoo fart

Now i need to draw legs for this

[thick wagon]

wow you are very dedicated!!

its turning out good so far

[young kelp]

Maybe this funny skelly bone app will help me

[tall basalt]

ok

[young kelp]

My brain cant comprehend how many buttons there are

[tall basalt]

what will it help on?

[young kelp]

dunno

anatomy and posing and stuff

[tall basalt]

so like

[young kelp]

But i stilp havent figured out the posing part

[tall basalt]

like drawing females?

i mean

ok

[young kelp]

Yes

It can improve on drawing females or just humans in general

[tall basalt]

You don’t really have to learn about every single bone on the body

That just makes it harder

[young kelp]

I aint learning every single bone

I just downloaded it to see what shape fits the best for the bones

[tall basalt]

ok

[young kelp]

God i hate this app

This looks promising

Nevermind

[stone lantern]

What is this I need it for learning to draw skeletons

[smoky sedge]

idk if this is good or bad

[thick wagon]

dude the perpective is on point!!!!! good job its perfect!!!

[tough ivy]

started a new uhh thingy and before i go onto linework i wanna check everything looks alright

[young kelp]

I see the potential too

[slim olive]

what the hell? you're putting yourself through pain you don't need to suffer

you should invest in drawing tablet, you can get the program and perfectly nice tablet with 100 bucks

[young kelp]

I actually have a tablet with pen

But i prefer finger

Because i love the friction

[slim olive]

huh..

There's a thing called paper protector which gives tablet a feel of drawing on paper

fortunately my Huion one came with it, and I'm enjoying it very much

[young kelp]

if i somehow find a way to connect my mobile tablet (not tue drawing one) to my laptop

i can finally draw without my fingers blocking the screen

[full rivet]

[rich beacon]

Before I continue, are proportions off? is there somethign that needs to be changed?

[young kelp]

I love my cat

thats MY pfp

can you send that version

[young kelp]

What version

I just saw it on google images

[brave bolt]

proportions look good centro, youre doing well.

[young kelp]

Is the head too big or is the woman too tall

Pliz hepl!!!!1!111

[rich beacon]

Depends on how old you want the character to look like,
The head should be one fourth of the height in the hip and one eigth of the height in an adult person, though exact ratio vary between different people.

[young kelp]

so like the head shape should be 1/8 of the person

[rich beacon]

Ye

Inclding the jaw

Unless you make a completely round head

[young kelp]

Well uh

im drawing a furry and it doesnt have a human jaw

[rich beacon]

Irrelevant to how the head should be one eighth of the body height, excluding ears

[young kelp]

å

[rich beacon]

Is relevant to the head shape though

[young kelp]

okay then

Holy shit i just accidentally clicked a gacha drawing video now its starting to corrupt my recommendations

[rich beacon]

How ever it does look like the arm could get enlengthed one times and a half

Oh nah it just the head so big i misjudged the arms, compared to the torso they're the roght length

[young kelp]

Hold on please let me trace this and deteŕmine the anatomy

imagine the teeth

[rich beacon]

No lower jaw as well

Also, a normal brain only has 2.5 petabytes, that's 18 times less than this

[young kelp]

Yeah obviously

Hes got a big brain but it doesnt have much in it

[young kelp]

Did you mean that theres no room for a lower jaw

[rich beacon]

True

[young kelp]

My guess is that a lower jaw is as high as 2 eyeballs

Maybe 2 and a half

[young kelp]

[rich beacon]

Have you gotten an agreement from the creator of that image to post it here? Rule 11 exists

[young kelp]

oh shit

[gleaming helm]

Somethings off about the one circled, the one in the circle is the one I didn’t trace

And tips?

Any*

[rich beacon]

The ring and pinky fingers seem the most out of proportion

[gleaming helm]

Yeah

And I think the wrist is too long

Or not in the correct shape

[rich beacon]

Have you tried doing the action with the left hand and taking pictures with the right for references?

[gleaming helm]

I haven’t no

[rich beacon]

References are very important for proportion and shape

[gleaming helm]

Yeah, but the ones next to it are traced so I use them as a reference

I’ll re draw those 2 fingers and show you

Then you can give more tips

If that’s ok

[rich beacon]

Sure, but take everything I say with a grain of salt, for I'm a beginner

[gleaming helm]

Same, that’s one of my first drawings tbh

How’s this

I still think the pinky needs to be longer but

And wider

It just looks off

[rich beacon]

Have you started from drawing the whole hand, including the parts hidden by the cup?

[gleaming helm]

No

I see no need to do that because it would all get deleted, no?

[rich beacon]

It is important to get the overall shape and proportion

[forest wraith]

for some reason after drawing i see the flaws like the bed shouldnt look like that 💀 AND THE SHADOWS YALL WHAT WAS I THINKING

[gleaming helm]

Oh, just remembered something I saw on yt, if you flip the art you notice the mistakes better, is it true?

[forest wraith]

well uhh i dont flip my art ever so idk

[rich beacon]

" sometimes you need to take one step back to walk two forward"

[gleaming helm]

Neither

I’ll look it up and tell you

[forest wraith]

well i can fix those mistakes easily

[rich beacon]

Anyway imma go bacc to finishing this

Bye

[forest wraith]

cya

damn

maybe ill try flipping the art when i draw

sadly that wont work on paper

[gleaming helm]

Yeah, what do you use to draw?

[forest wraith]

firealpaca

[gleaming helm]

Ik, s’ shame

[gleaming helm]

Never heard of it

Is it on mobile?

[forest wraith]

nope

[gleaming helm]

Ah, I use mobile

[forest wraith]

oh i see

[gleaming helm]

My mum has a drawing pad though, it’s old however

Only works on pc

I could try it on her old laptop

[forest wraith]

i use a mouse to draw even though i have a graphic tablet

[gleaming helm]

Oof, use the tablet man

[forest wraith]

for some reason my graphic tablet is wayy to sensitive

nah its so uncomfy to work with

[gleaming helm]

Sad

[forest wraith]

i tried fixing it

but nothing

[gleaming helm]

S’ shame

I’m using ibisPaint atm

[forest wraith]

its a good app

i use it when im in school

[gleaming helm]

Yeah, but it’s so annoying when it changes to eye drop mode in the middle of art and changes to white

[forest wraith]

wait wdym

[gleaming helm]

Nvm

[forest wraith]

you mean like eye saver mode

[gleaming helm]

I dont know what that is so no

[forest wraith]

when your screen is kinda yellowish and honestly nicer

[gleaming helm]

No no not that

[forest wraith]

ohh

then idk what ur on abt

[gleaming helm]

Where- nvm

[forest wraith]

alr fella ima go make some breakfast

AT 3 PM 💀

[gleaming helm]

Think I made it worse

[gleaming helm]

Whacha gunna make

[rich beacon]

Returning to my sketch 3/4 of aday later, and I see that the Couters, the Chest+Back plate and the hammerhead should be fixed

Stop making me hungry

Lol

[forest wraith]

it means like you slayed yk?

LIKE GOOD JOB I MEAN

[slim olive]

Personally I feel like this would feel more natural. It won't really be solution if you insist on weapon to be pointing directly upwards though

[wintry mulch]

ur lines seem very unconfident, it makes ur drawings look worse, use long, continues lines rather than small ones that flake off. Its more obvious in the cup top as you should just use one curved line isntead of several small ones, it just improves the quality of ur art and makes it seem more professional and neat.

[stone lantern]

Personally I like the choppy look there's many artists that do wonderful art with it choppy and I love it so much

This feels to me more like the start of the action and not the middle, Like, I think the knight will hold the bec de corbin this way exactly at the start of the jump and not in the middle of it.

[rich beacon]

also elbow anatomy is impossible

[gleaming helm]

Ok

[gleaming helm]

I’ll try it

[wintry mulch]

i mean typically the choppy lines make a piece more messy and confusing. it gives a lot of things unnecessary texture. it can be used well i suppose but typically you want to use more confident, larger lines that convey the shape and form better and also save you time.

[rich beacon]

Take it with a grain of salt, but I think the hair's shadings look flat. to me.

[vagrant dawn]

I dont think i even bothered with shading the hair.

The lighting is also just there, i couldnt be bothered

[rich beacon]

Is there someone I can ask about lighting?

try to take a photo of your hand and trace it into shapes like this (with different poses). i practiced for 1-2 months like this and i don't have problem with hands anymore.

I need help with her clothes ToT.. I spent half an hour tryna render this.. I'm not sure tho cuz it feels like something fr looks bad💀

Very Crusty artstyle

[rich beacon]

I think that the torso is too thin, especially in the chest, as if there is no back

[rich beacon]

Like, less about width and more about the nonexistence of the back and the armpits.

[violet arrow]

I honestly cant see the issue with this, looks great 🔥🔥🔥

[hasty hedge]

Just a few pieces I refer to when drawing clothes :>. I try and block out the shapes and where they would fold.

[teal cairn]

Thanks!!!! It's supposed to be like,.. An armor type of clothing(?) So I didn't rlly put wrinkles on their dressing!! Thanks tho🫶

[hexed relic]

might clarify what material(s) you have in mind to make the armor/clothes if you needed help with it . there are many!
some still fold (cloth armor)
leather will fold less but it still does at some areas
if its plate armor you dont need to worry about folds (just dents and deformities), but you might want to worry about some range of motion things in design.
if its chainmail (doesnt really look like based on picture but anyways) slightly worry about both, the chain can be tight or loose but generally very little folding compared to cloth

there are more options too ig, all these have divisions
like plate armor has steel iron bronze

[plucky valve]

[young kelp]

I do but they are very.. questionable

[modest dove]

i think make them lower 😄

[opal ore]

?

[burnt eagle]

I don't really know how to explain this kind of stuff, but i think you should make them look like a bit cuz I feel like one in the right is bigger than the left one

[modest dove]

the boobas 😄 they are little to close to neck and there no space for collarbone 😄

[burnt eagle]

Ye same this is what I thought, when I looked at the chest, there needs to be a little space

[modest dove]

but she can use pushup bra 😄 i dont know
gl tabby and HF 😄

[brazen trail]

Maybe for that pose with arms behind the back the shoulders are too far apart. It makes them look too broad, unless your character is meant to have broad shoulders.

[young kelp]

So i make the shoulders rounder?

[brazen trail]

Just my opinion but I think having the shoulders up at that angle is ok if her hands are behind her back. But it depends on the pose you're going for. If keeping the same angle maybe shorten the collar bone width?

You could try a new layer to see if you think it looks better first

?

Just an idea.. in the end you need to decide whether that was what you were aiming for

Also probably I should have drawn the wire frame for the arms so to help visualise if the hands are together behind the back

[young kelp]

o

So your saying the shoulders are too far?

Got it

And lower the boobs

[plucky valve]

Any advice?

oh damn you came to the right place

[teal cairn]

Depends on the artstyle,,
you could practice with the famous "leaf-shaped" way of drawing, works well with lining and sketching.
Wish I could give you a pic of em rn but, no embed perms

consider some lines must go over some others

[somber ivy]

I feel like the abs just look so wonky. I was trying to go for a more like chest pushed out pose since jojo character have crazy poses but it didn’t work

If anyone wants to draw over it and show me the way please do 😭🙏

[lean dragon]

I am a beginner, however the abs to the right are smaller than the left, from my understanding you want something to be bigger if its closer to the camera

[somber ivy]

Wait I did what u said and I feel like it looks so much better now

[lean dragon]

glad to help 👍

Hola

[young kelp]

3rd attempt at hands

Maybe like i can draw hands properly at 20 tries or 15

Or not

Proportions seem off

[plucky beacon]

Any advice?

[zinc grotto]

It's adorable! I love what you did with the light, for me the dress strap far from the camera looks a bit too chunky compared to the one close the the camera just what I think personally but its still very good!

[kindred warren]

Although I'm not sure what type of advice you're looking for;;; the main issue so far is the head/face? Like yknow the other eye is a bit too stilted or like it's starting to melt in a way? I do suggest practising drawing a bare head from different angles then play around with different head poses while trying to maintain human anatomy; A good way is by studying different guidelines for drawing head structures, you'll find a lot of those online, and studying the human anatomy! Having a decent understanding of it helps a whole lot. Oh and the glasses too. Glasses are hard to draw but it's good to draw them as a whole rectangular bar and marking different sections off for both sides of the glass and the thing for the nose. it helps a whole lot with perspective.

Other than a few minor things here and there, it's a really cute and lovely piece!

[plucky beacon]

thank you so much!

[flat thicket]

Ok

[lunar swift]

how do i draw better

[cinder peak]

Try to practice the anatomy and proportions

[young kelp]

not related to art but uhhhhhh

[lean dragon]

understanding of fundamentals like Construction, Perspective, Anatomy, Color, Value, uhhh I think there's seven but this is all that I've got off the top of my head.

eventually when you get good enough at drawing something you won't need to use the construction-rough sketch part and can just draw it's outline instead of the whole thing including what's covered up by other parts.

[hot shuttle]

I wouldn't advice beginners to study anatomy tbh

[hexed relic]

yes make beginners learn shapes first because anatomy requires shapes

but tbf there is a very big range for beginners

some ppl are beginner even in years

[hot shuttle]

I would mainly advise what the fundamentals initially are first, and their role in a drawing. Take your time researching these first before going through the process of drawing, and then try to identify them in a drawing drawn by professionals

If you don't know any professionals to refer to, try figuring out what kind of art you want to draw first, then browse into them through pinterest or wherever art platform exist

[plain sparrow]

Do these side profiles look okay? something seems very off about them but I can't figure it out

[hot shuttle]

Looks alright to me

[hot shuttle]

Whole drawing is unclear. You'll want to take a clearer picture of it

[young kelp]

dam

[young kelp]

I think it looks offbecause the orange guys mouth is too high

Im not that good in art but

[hot shuttle]

If their head angle is tilted upwards, it makes sense that the mouth is too high up

Their bottom chin in this sense would be exposed after all

[prisma crown]

i dont think its tilted upwards

it doesnt look like it is

[hot shuttle]

It is

It doesnt look like it because it isnt rendered

If you've drawn a couple stylized head shape, you get where im getting

[prisma crown]

i guess

i rarely draw cuz i cant so sry

at least the drawing is pretty

I can see you've seen some tutorials and put days of work. My tip for improving fast is flipping your drawing to self-check and focus on using long and organic lines instead of many short ones

[vestal vale]

Thank u guys

[vestal vale]

How do i get less trembly hands while drawing?

[earnest raft]

there is an stabilisation tool

it will help you a lot

[earnest raft]

btw what tool do you use for drawing?

[vestal vale]

Usually i just use paper but sometimes i draw on my phone

I use an app called penup

[grizzled steeple]

is gartic phone a good environment to get better at drawing? (i know its more of a fun game but you are still drawing at the end of the day)

[vestal vale]

I did learn how to draw a frog from gartic😂

[hexed relic]

deliberate study is known to give faster results than passive study.

drawing a lot on gartic phone is an option to get better but it will probably be slower than other selfstudy options.

at least you will get veryvery good at drawing the suspostor by playing on the game

Uh 1 good thing about gartic is you're exposed to a lot of different art styles but i dont rly know what advantage this has especially when self-study learners can just google for other styles

[grizzled steeple]

fair enough, i'll let you finish what you are typing but I see the general idea

[hexed relic]

If you're playing gartic to improve and not to have fun then sure ig its a good environment, but theres a lot of features missing here that you might have wanted such as

• more precise opacity scroller than 10% increments
• zooming in
• fill bucket with variable tolerance

ig in either case yull improve, the difference is the rate of improvement

so you split your time how you see fit ig

[grizzled steeple]

yeah, definitely not only using gartic to get better at drawing, just a fun activity whos "skills" may or may not translate to other places

[hexed relic]

yea if thats your purpose then its a fine option

[grizzled steeple]

gartic would honestly suck as a learning environment 99.9% of the time (limited controls, precison, brush size, even time)

just really hard to create and adjust, but makes a great challenge environment instead

[hexed relic]

depends what ur comparing against ig, gartic is super good compared to snip and sketch

but yea, against everything that people actually use, its lacking

[grizzled steeple]

yeah, it's also kind of in the name that it's not designed as a full art tool.

snip and "sketch"

HAND

Proportions look off

:(

[quasi raft]

Because you drew the finger coming straight down, if you try to do that you’ll see that you can’t have your fingers come straight down, it’s impossible

Also if you were trying to make a fist, I think the thumb should’ve come over the fingers

[young kelp]

What finger? All of them?

[hexed relic]

try to make this exact position with yor hand and see how uncomfortable it is

[lean dragon]

if you go from the hip-bone-connector to the knee, that portion is about the length of the torso

Isnt the proportion of the legs is as tall as the stomach,ribs and head combined

Either the head or neck or hips or the right arm

[lament frigate]

I think the thumb face the wrong way, the shoulders are too up and the bottom is too low

[rich beacon]

You could argue the wrist is twisted, the arm posture is possible.

[lament frigate]

It's possible but less natural

[rich beacon]

The most natural would be the two wrists facing eachother, as in most apes and bipedal theropods, right?

[lament frigate]

I didn't said that? I'm just saying staring with both thumbs facing the sides is less natural than both thumbs facing the body, you think it's less natural to have both thumbs facing the body than the side?

[rich beacon]

On the contrary, I'm saying having the whole palm facing the body is most natural

[lament frigate]

You didn't said that you just said I was wrong

Whatever I knew trying to help would be a bad idea I'll don't do it again sorry

How do you draw female hair? Coz i did this weird opacity thing for it but i dont know if i should like it or not

Also does making a daily sketch help as a beginner or should i just work a couple days on one big complex drawing

[vagrant dawn]

Doing daily sketchs helps you get better where as spending time on one big complex drawing doesnt do as much

[vagrant dawn]

Do daily sketchs, practice poses, experiment with different expressions, different hair styles, different clothes.
It ll help you get familiar with how cloth shapes it self and will also help you with anatomy.

[vestal vale]

Thank you my friend

[vagrant dawn]

While making a complex illustration feels good, its important to know the fundamentals first .
But once you feel you're ready to make some godly art just make sure to send it here so we can check it out.

How can i improve on drawing hair?

[grand olive]

I suck at drawing but love it. Any tips on where to start at improving for beginner artists? I know there's many tutorials but the shear about is overwhelming

[vestal vale]

I'm new too, i started about three weeks ago and i just watch videos and ask #🔎│art-advice▪tip for help. And when i started i could only draw stickmen, so it has worked pretty well

[reef ember]

Something that helps to motivate me to draw is just Doodling.
If you want to draw something huge, like a full-body 1400×2500 px drawing...
Do it on a small scale first. Like, a small piece of paper for example.
Doodle your ideas first, and put in as much detail as you can.
Something small with something exciting is much better than something big with no personality.

You can always add the details later, that is - to the larger piece of art, and you can always add more as there's more space to draw on!

Doodle away :P

[vestal vale]

How do you draw hair? Coz i have no idea

[rich beacon]

is this hand practice looking well?

[mossy lark]

this is too small, draw it bigger on paper

[vestal vale]

How's this face?

[strong anvil]

Depends of the flow of the hair, volume and atmosphere around the character

[vestal vale]

Thank you my friends🫡

[timid aspen]

Agreed, depends on what kinda hair your trying you draw. Something that should almost apply (unless your stylizing) is that it should be clear where the hair parts, and what area from that scalp it’s growing from.

I want to draw but I can’t get the images that appear in my head (they are super faint) to be drawn on paper

[vagrant dawn]

is there anything i can improve? or any mistakes i should fix?

[vagrant dawn]

focus on the stuff the looks out of place, say for ex : the chin, the neck, the (seemingly existing) shoulders.

sometimes its not the body that makes the drawing look bad

its sometimes the face that makes something look off

Thank you my friend😁

[vagrant dawn]

btw always get up and get a good look at your drawing

[vestal vale]

Get in the big picture

[vagrant dawn]

for people who do digital art, its good to zoom out and check for any mistakes, its easier to spot them that way

[vagrant dawn]

like you said 👍

[vestal vale]

How is the shading on this drawing?

[vagrant dawn]

it looks good ,you have good lighting knowledge, but stuff like hair will case a shadow under the face like for under the forehead. other than that it still looks good. Keep it up.

[vestal vale]

Will add the shadows, thank you 😁👍

[barren river]

Looks good imo, it’d be a good idea to flip the canvas to make sure that the proportions r right

[vagrant dawn]

the hair looks weird when i flipped

ty

[barren river]

Np! My hair used to sway to one side when I do front facing pieces, flipping canvas every now n then helps :)

[vagrant dawn]

same for me actually

[vestal vale]

So i have this but i really don't know if it's good or bad, do u guys have any advice?

Also why is drawing women waaaay harder than men?

[young kelp]

I thinks its because women have different skeletons

slight changes

started drawing furries (if theres any furries here please point out mistakes)

[young kelp]

Ibix paint x is amazing

My lines are silky smooth

[vestal vale]

And how's this? I still can't draw the body very well

[teal cairn]

The head looks good, the left eye is a little off by a slight bit and perhaps make the left side of the hair falling more towards the ground and not around the head

[young kelp]

yaya

[vestal vale]

How do i prevent my brain from burning trying to figure out the snouts direction

[past mist]

thx

[wind fox]

Use reference images of actual wolves, you'll find the right one and study how their snout goes with the rest of their head

[vale spoke]

It depends on the species

Try use rectangle square whatever the thing called

Hey I’m trying to work on an animation do you got any tips for the body motion and if i should make the legs better?

[young kelp]

Rate pose accuracy 1-10

[vale spoke]

7/10

Maybe make the head look down a little bit

[muted pewter]

3, knees too bent, fingers and wrist look unnatural pointing more than usual up, middle part of the body is bent backwards a bit, while the music video is leaning forwards, left arm should be more bent, hat?

[thick wagon]

(im not a professional this is just personal advice) ive noticed that you seem to post lots of anatomy practices which dont get me wrong is very good and keep doing it! although i think you should try making a drawing with the practice that you did. Anatomy may appear odd or strange to you if you don’t plan on actually drawing or creating a “finished piece” but in the process of turning it to an actual character the anatomy will slowly start to feel right. for furries as an example you should try making lineart over your anatomy and adding the fur and other accessories you plan on adding and then removing the anatomy sketch and that can help you see your antomy better and can help you figure out what looks off. over time completing these drawings can help you with anatomy! (i hope i was able to help) also for the pose accuracy id give 7/10 as well because it does need a little help with the perspective but overall keep up the good work!!

[young kelp]

Thank you heavy

👍

Im actually finishing it

[chrome tide]

i kinda feel like the jawline is a bit off but idk whats wrong ;-;
also if anyone has any tips on how to shade hair i wuld love to hear it

[teal cairn]

for a submission. criticism anyone?

[teal cairn]

add wrinkles to the shirt. also use more longer and confident strokes. add more organic shape to the arms. overall good drawing though 👍

[teal cairn]

thank you <3

[cobalt oak]

try study real people walking

if anybody need help on anything art related lemme know

[normal belfry]

i think jawline is ok, is cool

also on shading hair
u can make a shade like im the pic, and then erase the the middle position for highlights (???)

[native lily]

it looks great but with the boy the forehead doesnt like close so it looks like he has a huge head

[teal cairn]

Looking for constructive criticism.

[vagrant harness]

It's actually almost perfect. In the first image you should move the jaw a bit to the left and make the neck a bit thicker in the back. In the second image I would make the neck a bit thicker at the top. Generally you can remember that the jaw line doesn't reach all the way to the back of the neck!
I also really love the faces :3
