need help with what to do next

[surreal pecan]

Can't come over there and help you draw. But you seem to be helping yourself just fine. Any advice I would give is to now do the same poses, but add detail. Like a face. Arms legs.

You name it

[tulip kite]

ty for info

[vocal comet]

do a variety of poses. you only have front facing standing poses mostly. do back views, side views, in perspective, forced perspective, top views, etc

[tulip kite]

will do

like this?

attempted a walking pose and a gaming pose

sadly not what i had imaged in my head but decent iguess

[surreal pecan]

Now draw people

[tulip kite]

idk how to do that

do you have a guide?

[surreal pecan]

I always like to start off with a head

That’s typically what everyone should do

[tulip kite]

i guess but would helo if there was a visual guide i could watch

[surreal pecan]

All you need is a photo friend

[tulip kite]

you mean realism?

like drawing real people?

like my goal is to draw anime not so much irl stuff

[surreal pecan]

You know what I mean

[tulip kite]

like best i could do

like it dosent look correct , the way it was before looks better

[surreal pecan]

Give them a shirt

Then add details to the shirt

[tulip kite]

idk seem stuck

like its nowhere near as good as i want it to be and i dont know where i need improvement on

[surreal pecan]

Work on one

In a big page

[tulip kite]

ok

[surreal pecan]

Waist is too high

Finger need to be detailed more

Slow progress is better than no progress

[tulip kite]

fair all try to fix these

eventually

[timid juniper]

u should also try to study anatomy and use references later :)

[tulip kite]

will do

any good guides on anatomy

[surreal pecan]

Figure out faces

Then your art style

Then chest

Arms

Hands

[tulip kite]

all do my best tho idk how im suppose to find a art style

[timid juniper]

https://youtu.be/Lw0nZEw8IIk?si=vJtb3qJZIOPsV6RK this one really helped me

[tulip kite]

ty

idk if color can be a art style but im a big aquacolor fan

[timid juniper]

juat find art that u like and tryyy to incorporate it in ur art (it doesnt have to be perfect cus thats how ur own art style can evolve)

aqua is such a nice colour

[vocal comet]

bro dont fucking listen to goodboi. bro is NOT giving. what you showed after i talked to you is great. i do suggest you make the head more cube like to make room for the back of the skull.

i think you can move onto adding the anatomy over the boxes now like what waffletoast said

https://characterdesignreferences.com/character-anatomy

i suggest you learn from other artists AND do a lot of studies of real life photos (quickposes.com has rlly good catalog of photos to practice from)

[surreal pecan]

They can do what they will. But you can't force them. I'm just helping a fellow.

Putting a bunch of stuff and stres definitely won't help. Start with what you're comfortable with.

Get a good feel for it, don't feel discouraged

[tulip kite]

all take any tips honestly im new to this community and dont want to judge that i have no pior experience with

[vocal comet]

with quickposes you can choose between nude models and those in costumes/underwear depending on ur comfort. theres also a section for hands and feet as many artists struggle with it

[surreal pecan]

Glad you have an open mind. 🙏

[timid juniper]

(omg i also needed this loll tyyy)

[tulip kite]

all however take your tips as well as try to see how thy do for me as well

[vocal comet]

so tldr: youre doing great with the boxes esp when you did diff sides and angles. the next step now is to apply the muscles on top

[atomic trail]

Dude bluebiscuits helped me so much with anatomy. She's a G

[timid juniper]

yesss

[tulip kite]

understood will try to add muscles

[timid juniper]

i love her vids

[tulip kite]

also https://characterdesignreferences.com looks like a great website

along with https://quickposes.com/en

[vocal comet]

those two websites got me through it with learning anatomy back during covid times lol. gl dude
