would you consider this a study? is this a good way to learn anatomy?

[round steeple]

Just wondering bc I'm trying to learn anatomy now that I can see forms better, so idk maybe it's OK maybe it's not?

[real iron]

You dont need to make things over-detailed

Plus you dont even need to learn how to draw skulls

[chrome topaz]

My guy

U gotta just answer the question

Stop telling ppl to stop everything they doing

[chrome topaz]

Knowing how to draw the skull allows you to more accurately place features on the face. As well as practice shapes

And yes this counts as a study

Very nice work

[round steeple]

thank you very much @chrome topaz ! So basically a study is analyzing what step by step why some shapes go where and stuff

by the way in on itself I find it very entertaining to draw these anatomical parts, its neat

[chrome topaz]

great thing about art is a study can be about anything! wether its from the shape of the skull, to the shading on the skull itself. a stuyd can be broad or specific. all a study is, is just you looking into and trying out a certain topic of art. and maybe writing some notes about things you notice

that you may forget or want to remeber in the future

[round steeple]

I'll try doing that too

[young quest]

Yes and that’s sick!

[untold salmon]

wrong. knowing the skull helps u place the proper muscles on which is what the skin showcases. maybe you should do some skull studies

[untold salmon]

good studies tbh. i rec doing more angles than just the front and 3/4. the back and side will help ya in the future

[young quest]

I’m pretty terrible with drawing heads (anatomy in general) so I just cover it with hairrr lmaooo but it still can look fucked bc the hair still has to come from la skull…. Props to you for studying! You inspire me

[real iron]

Shits n giggles

[chrome topaz]

ain't funny

don't insult ppl

an example of a joke would be like "you say that but tbh idk if your THICK skull could understand it"

or another example, would be just looking at you as a person

[frank storm]

he didnt mean it as a joke the first time lol, he said something stupid then when people got mad he doubled down 💀

[chrome topaz]

I know bro ☠️

[real iron]

Good point

[real iron]

[real iron]

I Aint even remember what i said, Also give me one reason as to why i would intentionally hurt someone

[frank storm]

except you did when you replied with whatever this is lol

[frank storm]

wdym? i never said you hurt anyone. and thats still a stupid argument even if i did.

[real iron]

And stop ignoring the fact that said it was a joke right after

[frank storm]

wdym i didnt ignore the fact, thats literally what i pointed out 💀

[real iron]

You just said

that i didnt mean it as a joke

[frank storm]

yea you didnt. you said your opinion and then doubled down. it wasnt a joke until people said you were wrong

[untold salmon]

Yk two things can be true at once. It can be a stupid joke (from ur opinion) and still be hurtful

[real iron]

I Said sorry before anyone said anything

Your going to keep bringing this up arent you?

Go feed on something else

[untold salmon]

Said sorry and then proceed to do it on multiple posts

[real iron]

That was before

and they understood that it was a joke

i got in dms with most of em and were chill

we even collaborate and i tried to help them out

be a little more careful before you say something

[frank storm]

where? you only said "its a joke" after sinn said thats bad advice

ohhh

wait this is like a multi post thread nvm 💀

[real iron]

Is this hurtful?

[frank storm]

why do you keep bringing that up? who said it was hurtful?

[real iron]

.

[frank storm]

maybe they meant hurtful as in bad advice.

[real iron]

Yeah you should probably concentrate a bit more

[frank storm]

because its bad advice

maybe you should stop being an ahole lol

[real iron]

the only ones that constantly remind me about this are @untold salmon with outrageous grammar

and you

[real iron]

Like i said

I Became chill with the guys i said that to

[frank storm]

yea because grammar has anything to do with this

[real iron]

I Told em it was ajoke and everything

[real iron]

It does because he called me out for it

[frank storm]

as you say "em" and "aint"

you said it not me like

freedom of speech not freedom without consequence

you said something stupid

and get mad when people bring it up

[real iron]

Stop being so regardedf

Think

I'm only making fun of his grammar because he made fun of mine

[frank storm]

why should i waste brainpower on you though

[real iron]

Then why should i bother debating on something so regarded

[frank storm]

im not saying hes in the right for that but doesnt the saying go "dont fight fire with fire"

[real iron]

Go feed on something else

[frank storm]

youre the one continuing the conversation

[real iron]

i get your not a bad person

your chill

[frank storm]

maybe youre the "regarded" one

[real iron]

But you dont know

the entire story

so dont bring me up out of no where

You want me to apologize? Thats done and yet you keep bringing me up

the fuck do you want me to do?

Cry about this incident for the rest of my life?

Just because i said you dont need to make things too detailed

[frank storm]

im not saying this as a rude thing but is english not your first language?

[real iron]

is hurtful?

[real iron]

Its not my first

[frank storm]

that explains a lot.

if you want a conversation to end, stop replying

[real iron]

If theres something wrong with my english

can you tell me

i need to improve

if its not grammar related then lmk

[frank storm]

its not really a grammar thing but more a social eitquette

but if you reply to someone then expect them to respond back.

[frank storm]

this too

[real iron]

Wait what does that have to do with the language its self?

I'm only stating my point before i end things

[frank storm]

you kept getting mad at me for replying to you

and you still kept making comments

hold on lemme think of an example

okay so say Tim and Bob are talking. Tim says "youre wrong" so Bob replies "no im not heres why, and heres my opinion". Then Tim gets mad at Bob for trying to share his own opinion and belittling Tim's.

idk if that makes sense, im not good at explaining.

but youre tim and im bob.

[chrome topaz]

Omg this is a joke, dude you started this off with just saying that what he did was useless, then said he was doing it wrong anyway

That’s rude, joke or not, end or story.

im talking to u @real iron , not vhav

[real iron]

Yeah i know

Lmao

[meager light]

Uhh get better dude. Don't do rude jokes from now on

[shrewd furnace]

My way to learn anatomy is to understand the shapes of a part you want to work on. Suggest perspective drawings and breaking down complex to basic forms. What you're doing already is good so if can, try to put them into simplistic shapes with perspective, and vice versa. Repeat this and it would be a study well done.

[round steeple]

That was a cool read ...

[round steeple]

You mean not jumping to shading and values right? Bc I cant really help to "finish" my "studies" everytime. :\ I should really practice forms on themselves and their perspectives ONLY. At least, thats what I feel it should be? Drawing as a hobbyst is like wandering in a thick mist.

Speaking of,

I have made this portrait of Captain Picard. I cant post on Reddit for some f. reason where I usually ask for criticism. I am open to receive constructive feedback if ya'll are up to it. Thank you very much

( I already see the angle is off )

the lighter version is my first "ok Its done" drawing before I moved my eyes elsewhere and saw a bunch of mistakes.

( also now that I look at it on my pc, I can see the angle of the eyes is not aligned to the already wrong angle of the head )

[frank storm]

have you tried drawing a grid over the refrence? that helps me a lot with positioning of the face and stuff

[round steeple]

That would not work with me. Too much preemptive effort. By the time I finished the grid I'm bored. Plus I'm trying to learn eyeballing sizes and distances, thr grid method just doesn't fit with me. I'm doubting loomis itself

[frank storm]

the whole point of art is trying something new. how long have you been using the loomis method? art takes time, you cant give up on something because it takes too long. and art is a mostly boring process. ive been working on a background for a drawing for around 2 hours, art takes time.

i accidentially said art takes time twice but you get my point

[round steeple]

Three years now. Never stuck to a method

Though you are not wrong

I could try, why not
