Fuck it, nityl's drawing highlights

[golden parrot]

i think i will just improve if i learn anatomy and practice more

so np

[golden parrot]

did one more

[golden parrot]

My first portrait attempt

should i try shading it?

[inner forum]

Yeeahh

It looks so good 👍 especially good for only 10 weeks. Btw here, this might help with geting the width of something right. I think this will be good for future portraits if you plan on doing more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGWGf3jVpeo

For digital refrences, just put the pencil up to the screen and measure one thirds, etc.

[golden parrot]

thank u so much 🙏

[golden parrot]

yes i tried to do that, i also saw a proko video about this topic and he said to try and find units, idk why but with this one i kinda couldnt do it

[inner forum]

Oh I see, what went wrong?

[golden parrot]

Its not that It went wrong, but i couldnt find like horizontal units for some reason

only a few but nothing else

So i just had to eyeball a bit

[inner forum]

I see, when you let's say put the top of the head then then chin for measuring vertical, then you should flip it and see where the cheek bones are compared to that. You did a good job none the less, dw too much about it

Then you can see where the features are and that will be like much better, if your head wideness is screwed then it's likely that the facial features will be too

[golden parrot]

by flipping It

Do u mean

just flip the paper?

[inner forum]

You can do that too, but I was talking about the pencil

[golden parrot]

ooooh

yeah that makes more sense 😂

[inner forum]

Lol

[golden parrot]

Aight got it

also i didnt really know how to draw the eyes and nose

I just remembered how proko did it in his example video and i just did it

i might need to study the head anatomy idk

[inner forum]

Ohh I see

[inner forum]

Probably

[golden parrot]

Alr thanks for the help! It was really helpful

I might look on that video too

[inner forum]

Sure

Peace ✌️

[golden parrot]

(Day 69) i shaded the drawing from 68. Had some trouble identifying some shades like the brows or perhaps the hair

[golden parrot]

(Day 70) more of a break day. only did the warmup exercises

[next mantle]

Woahhh dude anit no way you drawed that

You draw better than me i couldn’t even shade no more everything you draw the protrait is just fire

Can’t wait to see how your drawing becomes later

[golden parrot]

i mean i did it

[golden parrot]

thank u for the compliment

i dont think it looks good tho

[next mantle]

It amazing to me sound like your a professional no lie literally looks kinda real

[next mantle]

Anytime

[golden parrot]

Week 11 of learning how to draw

(Day 71) watching a David finch tutorial about learning to draw heads using the loomis method

I watched the first 10 minutes, i tried to follow Up and It looks a bit off but i now understand the parts a bit more

[golden parrot]

another attempt trying It by only following the notes i took myself (and a bit of the video bc i forgot to do smth)

and It didnt came out bad?

[golden parrot]

this is how davids turned out

[agile horizon]

if ur just starting out drawing heads that looks insane

good work

[exotic night]

I did this same thing like last week

😭

[golden parrot]

thanks brother

ye im starting out

bc i feel kinda stuck so i wanted to do smth more challengin

[inner forum]

do it, why not if ur free

only thing it takes to do something chalenging is time

[golden parrot]

It is yeah

Currently im having free time so i want to use It the best way i can

[golden parrot]

did one attempt from other angle and with a more simpler approach

had to take a look at the tutorial sometimes bc i forgot some things 😭

[golden parrot]

(Day 73) looked at a proko video on how to make interesting and dynamic shapes and took some notes

[golden parrot]

(Day 74) I crashed out

[golden parrot]

(Day 75) went one step back bc i was getting ahead of myself

https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/track/6bQ5823aHmFVKLZW8E7rRo?si=e33fb198908a4408 mood

[golden parrot]

(Day 75) practicing drawing dynamic shapes, and i also drew a human pose

honestly it turned better than i expected, i used guidelines for the torso and the head, the rest i just tried to get the perspective

[exotic night]

I thought these were all supposed to be human and was so confused at first

[golden parrot]

nah they supposed to be seals

i did the extra human pose for fun

[exotic night]

Yeah I figured that out after about 3 seconds

they look like seals im just insanely tired

[golden parrot]

i get it

[golden parrot]

(Day 76) just some doodles

I honestly liked how this one turned out

Balance looks off tho so i might try to fix that

I think It looks better like this

I might do some more later but im not too sure

[golden parrot]

pulled this out of my ass and i raw dogged It, no guidelines, nothing, just imagination

and ik It looks like ass, but hey at least it looks like a human face, and im Happy with that

better than nothing ig

[next mantle]

Reminds me of zoro

Yes as long your happy with it then it amazing

[golden parrot]

yeah

ig

https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/track/2SOvWt6igzXViIjIiWNWEP?si=33672aa43061478c mood part 2

[golden parrot]

wip study

[agile horizon]

ekko?

lookin good

[next mantle]

Fr

Looks accurate like very 😍😍

Ahh can’t wait when you finish it bet it amazing

[sinful garnet]

seeing this guy’s progress is honestly
so inspiring

and ekko looks so good

[next mantle]

Fr dude

[golden parrot]

Wow i appreciate it man

Almost done

I Will continúe tomorrow tho

Oh and this is the ref

[golden parrot]

Thanks man

[next mantle]

Woahhh 😍

[golden parrot]

Although i have to do some corrections like the eyes

Bc they look a bit off

but still im not dissapointed on how It turned out

[next mantle]

Don’t worry too much about the correction as you move on to diff drawings you will know your mistake for drawing which is good 👍 good luck

[golden parrot]

U right

Ty 🙏

[next mantle]

Anytimes

@golden parrot

I was wondering what did you do to improve your shading I wanna learn how to shade Aswell i forgot how to do it

[golden parrot]

Honestly

I havent even gotten to shading yet

I first mark where the different shades are

Very light

Then i start with a mild dark, then the darkest and finally the lightest details

And also

Do a lot of máster studies

Like, if u like one specific artist a lot

U can learn from his drawings

[next mantle]

You haven’t what it looks so amazing and real how you did it dude

[golden parrot]

Yeah like i said

I first draw the Big shapes u know

The face

The eyes, ears, mouth

In simple shapes and lines

Then i immediately start shading

It doesnt have to look the same as the reference

[next mantle]

Interesting

[golden parrot]

But u need to learn, how the artist uses his lines and for what he uses them

then u can apply the same to ur drawing

Normally studies can take 1 hour?

Idk what was the recommended time limit but i think It was 1 hour

[next mantle]

Right then what artist would be good like can it be anything on yt and does it have to be specific ones

[golden parrot]

Nono

Any artist

its recommended tho if u find one

[next mantle]

Ohhh

[golden parrot]

That did It for example on traditional

So that u can see how they draw their strokes and lines

And how to use them for ur own drawing

And VERY IMPORTANT

[next mantle]

Ohhh I understand now

[golden parrot]

Dont try to copy exactly the reference

U know

[next mantle]

I used to do that 🤦‍♀️

[golden parrot]

Dont try to be a perfectionist bc u Will get too attached to it

[next mantle]

I gotta stop with it

[golden parrot]

And it could look even worse if u overthink

[next mantle]

Attached in what way

[golden parrot]

Yeah i struggle with that sometimes

[next mantle]

Oh my

[golden parrot]

Attached means

like u think urself

This is a Portrait It has to look good

[next mantle]

Ohhh

[golden parrot]

And then u make little details

[next mantle]

I see

[golden parrot]

And details

And details

And so on

But yeah

i always try to draw every day

Even if i only do the warm up exercises

I do them

[next mantle]

That good

Keep it up ima try and draw everything like did before

Gotta stop lacking

[golden parrot]

Yep

Consistency of one the most important aspects of drawing imo

Wow i think the eyes really made a difference

Or am i trippin

Oh i forgot (Day 77)

[sinful garnet]

WOAHG

[next mantle]

Yes your right

[golden parrot]

(Day 78) I finished It

Week 12 of learning how to draw

[versed blade]

Woah you made such a big progress

[next mantle]

Woahhh can’t believe it dude

[golden parrot]

im glad to hear that

[golden parrot]

(Day 79) looked at some prokos videos due to the course, then decided to draw some exaggerated poses

With the time i Will try to take less time with the poses, thats why i rushed the last one (10 mins)

refs:

[vague marsh]

I like ur anatomy and perspective
ur really good

[golden parrot]

aay tysm

although im just trying to capture the poses

idk too much about anatomy

so u can do it too

just gotta be very consistent

and learn the right things

[golden parrot]

(Day 80) kinda followed a tutorial along and drew these angles for the head, had no problem understanding so i guess i need to try other angles

[inner forum]

When u cut the circle, you gotta remember to cut it from both sides

(talking about number 7 btw) another thing is to use straight lines to the chin, the cheek actually has a starting point which u cant always get correct without practice, so the cheek starts from the cheek bone (you can know where that is at by studying the skull) but ye I think the only thing that looks off is the cheek

And number six, think of the face as a curved paper. When you bring that to the same perspective you will realise that it becomes a kinda curved and like a upside down U.

Actually let me just use a paper to show a example

The face is also just like this, a similar shape

And when this perspective happens u will see the under chin

Tbh just wanted to explain the shape a bit because many beginners tend to need more help to understand this, and many people are stuck ages without understanding I was also not understanding this when I was a beginner so just a bit of help

[golden parrot]

Aaay i really appreciate the help and feedback

And yes i kinda knew about the u shape thing, not the cheek tho i really didnt notice that

i just followed a tutorial i saw on yt but first he used a Compass to draw the circles, and then some of them looked kinda weird? Idk if thats just me tho

But yeah i Will take a look on that today

Once again ty for the help

(i also didnt know about cutting both sides in other angles i just followed the tutorial 😭, good to know)

[inner forum]

Np

[golden parrot]

One quick question rillet

does that mean i should do skull studies at the same time?

or do i start with just practicing heads

[inner forum]

Just start practicing heads for now

[golden parrot]

aight

Let me send u the tutorial i followed

[inner forum]

Peace

[golden parrot]

I just want to know if its any good or not

[inner forum]

Okay

[golden parrot]

Sure if It doesnt bother u

[inner forum]

It's cool

[golden parrot]

https://youtu.be/4URxsz3B91Q?si=Er1_LnaWrFsCrSpN

[inner forum]

I think it's flawed

I think the artist isn't tryna scam but is sharing their knowledge but by the looks of it they aren't a pro

I would suggest picking someone more skilled to learn from

Btw no hate to the artist i just think it's not the best someone can learn from

[golden parrot]

Yeah ok np

Before this one

I looked at David finchs tutorial on the loomis method

https://youtu.be/6i6JDwEwXJI?si=5ZxX3T1M5HP1HodX

[golden parrot]

(Day 81) Crashing out part 2

[golden parrot]

(Day 82) Yaaaay I didnt crash out today 😁

[golden parrot]

Still struggling with the "looking up" poses

So if anyone has tips or tricks to make It easier, then i would appreciate it

[inner forum]

For the drawings that you labled "gotta practice those" the first one is well how do I explain this, so everything follows perspective right and let's say the jaw and the circle is grouped together meaning they can't disattach from each other, so if you were to move one upwards the other thing also goes upwards. So you cant just make the jawline upwards without making the circle follow the same thing, also think of it this way the more you move the head up the more underchin it shows, for this example you would either need to move the jawline up so it can justify showing that much underchin or you wouldnt show underchin at all because without moving that up I don't think it would show the underchin. Also quick tip, our necks placement a bit beffore our ears so when your drawing don't connect it to your jaw, and I mean for both sides not just one, you should calculate where it is like know where it connects to even if it's covered. You can make the underchin connect to the neck, not the other way arround. You can see a example of this in your second one, you connected that correctly.

[inner forum]

Actually I take back "the it wouldn't show a underchin at all in this" It probably does just not as much, you would need to lessen the under chin shown.

[golden parrot]

Aight aight

Thanks again brother

Wow u are really helpin me out i appreciate it

[eternal solstice]

found it

[inner forum]

Your welcome hehe

[golden parrot]

(Day 83) more heads, tmrw i Will take a break on them and do other stuff ig

[golden parrot]

(Day 84) Failure of a sesh 😭🙏

Tbh i i felt like i didnt wanna draw

Gesture at least

[golden parrot]

I think i might need to learn anatomy from now on

[golden parrot]

(Day 85) idk, maybe i just had a bad day yesterday, i felt more inspired today

[golden parrot]

(Day 86) Lil study + a bit of head practice

heres the ref:

I fixed It Up a bit but looks almost the same

[harsh bluff]

Nice attempt! I love your rendering of the hair. I can tell where the light is hitting even without the ref

The forehead is too short so you might wanna move the eyes and eyebrows down a bit

[golden parrot]

yeah thats what i thought after i finished it 😭

but oh well i shouldnt get too attached to it

and i also thank u for doing these corrections wow

i appreciate it a lot 🫶

(Day 87) study, might do other stuff later

[golden parrot]

I started the study by trying first to map the head and guidelines with the loomis method, then i started drawing the rest

Fixed?

[golden parrot]

Some more heads

I might start learning now each part of the face

[versed blade]

Oh wow I really like how it looks

I think you shouldn't be scared of sharp pencil tho

Maybe it's the paper you use?

[golden parrot]

Yeah the paper i use is textured from the front, and very textured from the back

[golden parrot]

Tysm 🙏

[versed blade]

Yeahh but I think if you'd add some almost black values it'd be so so much better

[golden parrot]

I mean yeah

I try to but i cant make It darker than It is

The paper hinders me a bit

[versed blade]

Yeah when I was drawing traditional

I hated textured paper

I think pencil looks way worse on it

[golden parrot]

yeah i just bought a cheap sketchbook to practice

i have another one from the brand canson, but im saving that one when i get better

or when i draw a big portrait and shi

[versed blade]

Nahhhh don't save it, trust me you're going to think that yoire never better even tho you're 😭

Sad reality of being an artist

[golden parrot]

its bc of that

its just an expensive sketchbook so thats the reason behind it

[versed blade]

Ahhhh

Well then maybe you shoukd try just school paper? I did a lot of drawings on it and it wasn't that textured

[golden parrot]

yeah but its not heavy enough

i have a pile of printer paper that i use for warming upç

but thats it

[versed blade]

Printer paper is to thin

Damn idk how to translate it to eng but we have like school papee

Paper

Byt uts thicker

And still cheap

Idk translator said its "technical blook" but igs usually 200g and kids use it

But it really good

[golden parrot]

could u send a pic of it?

[golden parrot]

Week 13 of learning how to draw

[golden parrot]

(Day 88) watched some videos on eyes just to have some things more clear in my mind

Why are Lips so hard to draw dawg

[versed blade]

Been there

[golden parrot]

i forgot to send the ref

this time i didnt exactly follow the ref as it is, i made the guidelines, and put all the face parts first and then i started adding details

[golden parrot]

I did another one, this time from imagination. I think It turned out pretty well

[agile horizon]

face looks good but the body is small compared to the head

[golden parrot]

I noticed that too 😭

I Will try to fix It when im home

[golden parrot]

I think It looks less off now

[golden parrot]

(Day 89) a few gesture drawings + face study

Theres something wrong with it, smth that feels off but idk what It is

here is the ref

Maybe the lip? Idk man

Maybe the eyes?

[quaint surge]

maybe the gap between the lips and the nose? its bigger in your drawing which makes the whole face feel longer since if the nose is higher so are the eyes

great gesture drawings btw!!! they show the pose and dynamic very well :33

[next mantle]

I can tell the difference from the ref the chest is saggy if you look at the ref you can see it way up and also for the nose you drawed more triangle and also for the hair is just not cleary if you make it not so thick you can see the actual difference what I think you should Is to just focus on the outside hairline and when you have time you can practice the inside too

No offence I’m just helping not trying to be rude

[golden parrot]

I have that clear, im not exactly following the ref

Just taking ideas from it, specially the angle

But still ty for the hel

[golden parrot]

Aaay ty for the help and support i appreciate it 🙏

yes i saw that

[next mantle]

But that okay you know because that your own style not everyone has the same style what do you expect

[golden parrot]

I asked in art help and they told me to put the Lips a bit higher

[next mantle]

Oh yeah that defo could do the lips is more round

Good luck let hope we’ll see better results 😉

Now that you know what to do

[golden parrot]

I think It looks a bit less off now

[next mantle]

Yes almost your getting there

[quaint surge]

yep, looks better!! proportions of the head are often hard to get right but you did pretty good :D

[golden parrot]

Im glad to hear that 😁 i mostly struggle with putting the face parts

even when u put smth a Lil bit off then sll the face looks off

So i gotta be careful with that

[quaint surge]

im a beginner too so the only tips i can give that somewhat help me with drawing faces would be: the dip in the nose and the eye placement is often at the same height, its helpful especially in side view since the dip is more visible there
and to be mindful of the gaps around the mouth (as in gap between chin and mouth, and gap between mouth and nose) since they can be tricky and make the whole drawing feel off

[golden parrot]

Oh yes

I see that u normally put the mouth a bit higher than the half of the third

[quaint surge]

other than that nothing much, i like to do deconstruction myself and figure out guidelines on my own so i dont watch that many tutorials haha

[golden parrot]

From chin to nose

[golden parrot]

oh man i feel that

I usually do that too

[quaint surge]

its a lot easier to grasp everything that way, when you actually put your mind into it and think why something is drawn this specific way

anyway good luck, drawing is hard as hell and i wish you the best !! your anatomy and proportions of the body look great so you have one of the hardest things already behind you

[golden parrot]

Honestly

I feel very relieved hearing that

Have in mind tho i drew the gesture drawings with refs

So i still have to learn to draw figures

From memory

[quaint surge]

i mean ye ofc, i draw my gestures with refs also but you still did amazing, being able to observe a model and draw their proportions correctly is also a great skill that artists learn through practice. And also thanks to using refs you fill up your mental library which then contributes to you drawing from imaginary since then its easier for you to draw that thing correctly and notice when something feels off :33

[golden parrot]

Yeah exactly

Thats why i started drawing a face study every day

To make my visual library bigger

[quaint surge]

oh man i wish i had that type of motivation XD im too lazy and busy with school, i draw every other day if im lucky, but i mostly just doodle in my notebooks

there is so much dust on my pen from my drawing tablet

[golden parrot]

I mean school is tough

Im gonna try to draw one study everyday

[quaint surge]

but its great that you are able to spend even a little bit of time every day on drawing, your progress from what i have seen is very good, being consistent does a lot of work when it comes to learning how to draw

[golden parrot]

Yeah i like to be consistent

Gives me momentum to learn and improve even more

And tbh i dont get why some people spend too much drawing every day

Ur brain cant process to much information and thus u wont retain all of it

[quaint surge]

ye, its good to let that information simmer and get processed so your brain is able to fully grasp it, also just resting after drawing is great for preventing burn out

[versed blade]

@quaint surge is that sampo on your pfp???

[quaint surge]

YEEE MY HUSBAND!!!!

[versed blade]

SAMPO FAN SPOTTED

[quaint surge]

live laugh love sampo

[versed blade]

Yehawww

[golden parrot]

I think i Will do that tmrw

Since i had a full time day at work

And i normally work part time so i was a bit tired

[quaint surge]

then i hope you will have a great break day!! :33

[golden parrot]

ty 🙏

Wish u the best on ur art too

[quaint surge]

thank you!!

[golden parrot]

(Day 90) alr 3 months in yaay

Tbh i didnt feel like drawing today

Idk what to do now

I would like to start learning anatomy or smth

[vague marsh]

Hi, I am interested in purchasing some of the wonderful and well crafted designed pieces on your page, kindly reach out to me thanks

Hello ❤️,
You are doing a great job! I love your work. Your style truly amazes me and is beautiful. I purchase artworks as NFTs. Can you sell it to me?

[inner forum]

How will u make it into a nft? Just curious since dude is doing traditional

[vague marsh]

NFT is a Non-fungible token. They are digital asset that are traded with crypto currencies and are guided by smart contacts.

NFTs are quite easy to make, it requires a well taken or scanned image registering on an NFT marketplace and paying a little gas fee and listing it. Thats all quick and easy.

[golden parrot]

im sorry but i dont take comms

Decided to take a better pic bc on the other one u cant see nothing

[golden parrot]

(Day 91) Just started my anatomy journey, took some notes and drew with some refs the most important joints

Theres no way back now 😭

[versed blade]

That account that asked you this looks like some kind of scam 😭

[versed blade]

Damn you fast

I'm like 4 months in and I still don't feel ready enough 😭

[golden parrot]

I mean i want to learn to design characters and shi

So i gotta learn It at some point

[golden parrot]

(Day 92) i did a back "study" today

Going to the gym might have been a really good advantage bc i know most of the muscles and kinda their form

ref:

Forgot to add the lower and upper traps so that its visible

[golden parrot]

Decided to do this one too

[golden parrot]

i might try to follow this schedule for the torso

[harsh bluff]

I've done this twice before and it has need a lot. Highly recommend

[vague marsh]

This looks crazy

good shit

[golden parrot]

Thanks g

Its my 2nd anatomy study

[vague marsh]

I’ve followed that schedule too

[vague marsh]

Hell yeah

[golden parrot]

I might have a godlike eye observation

[vague marsh]

You do

[exotic night]

this is also a scammer fyi

anyone saying they'll turn ur work into an nft is bullshitting

[golden parrot]

Ik man i just ignored it

[exotic night]

good

[golden parrot]

(Day 93) drew a pose from 4 diff angles from imagination

I think that I mostly lack understanding about the arms, calfs? and feet

[golden parrot]

I also did this drawing with a ref

ref:

[golden parrot]

(Day 94) did some loose sketches using refs

I only did 12 tho instead of 15 but i still think that its a good amount

Also for most of them i took 5 min, and for a few roughly 6-7min

[golden parrot]

Week 14 of learning how to draw

[golden parrot]

I also drew some faces and poses, all with refs

[golden parrot]

Forgot to add i used a few muscular persons as refs too, bc yeah, im studying anatomy i guess

[harsh bluff]

I’d highly recommend doing this challenge with individual body parts at first. When I first did it, I focused on arms (and even then that might be too much; if so, you can break it up in lower and upper arm or something ) and the second time I did necks.

[golden parrot]

I was about to do that, im still searching for which parts give me the most trouble

And funny enough its the arms too

[golden parrot]

(Day 95) arm tracing studies

I Will do some with ref later

[golden parrot]

Fixed It a bit + some color

[golden parrot]

YO THIS ONE DOESNT LOOK THAT BAD?

I also made the hair a Lil bit different bc in the ref It just looks boring

[golden parrot]

Attempt from imagination

[arctic steeple]

How do you trace traditionally? With an AR? If so which app do you use? I've been looking for a way to trace traditionally and the only ones that popped to mind back then were printing out the images

[next mantle]

I don’t think he trace never seen him did it but I can help you how to trace a friend taught me to

You don’t need a app to trace

Get any device you have, Find a image, download it or screenshot

Turn the brightness all the way to max until it feels like there's bleach in Your eyes then put a paper on top and use tape or bluetack to secure and trace

And trace lightly if you do hard you will make mark on the device

Good luck

[golden parrot]

Wait let me show u

[golden parrot]

I actually used one for this study

[golden parrot]

Ads might be annoying but It works

[arctic steeple]

Thanks, this should help me with proportions and deconstruction

[golden parrot]

(Day 96) Day 4 of the challenge done (i did 8 instead of 10 for my sanity since im busy rn)

Does anyone have any tips on drawing forearms? I cant completely understand the muscles groupes that make the forearm and where they are placed and attached

[golden parrot]

(Day 97) cant draw too much bc i gotta do smth for school but at least i made some Lil studies

refs:

i really had to watch a proko video on forearms bc brother 😭

they confuse me a bit

at least i feel that im getting better

[agile horizon]

you are

the improvement is there

[golden parrot]

good to hear brother

[agile horizon]

i agree with this lol

[golden parrot]

then i just gotta keep grinding

https://tenor.com/view/youngboy-nba-youngboy-handshake-dap-up-dap-gif-24581678

[harsh bluff]

I recommend using contour lines to better understand the form of the muscles

Something like this

[golden parrot]

Aight i Will, i just thought of first learning the muscles and where they attach, then simplifying and adding gesture

[golden parrot]

(Day 98) more practice, still confused with a few things but ig i will get them with the time or repetition

refs:

[golden parrot]

i might do other things later, i just feel a bit overwhelmed learning this type of stuff

[golden parrot]

I redrew this face

Added some contour lines

[versed blade]

Damnnn it looks good

[golden parrot]

Thanks Saturn i appreciate it 🙏

I used the box method and well It worked out ig

[versed blade]

Now you need to exercise faces cuz that looks dope

[golden parrot]

Thats actually one of my goals

I just need to finish studying a bit of anatomy

Then maybe take a break and go back on faces

[versed blade]

Ahhh I just started studying colors

And that's so hard 😔

[golden parrot]

Anything but that

i wont touch that until im good enough

Genuinely

I also hate painting

Im too impatient man

[versed blade]

Yeah but I want to make some more progress

Tho it's incredibly hard with digital

At first yoire like

I can use every color possible

Until you don't know which one to choose

[golden parrot]

Idk

I just like drawing in black and White

Using ink and shi

Maybe im just close minded rn

[agile horizon]

this is a bit too true lmao

[versed blade]

Bro I'm trying so hard not to give up on this

[agile horizon]

the arm studies look good damn

[golden parrot]

ty ty brother

[golden parrot]

(Day 99) finished day 7

Im just gonna leave It like this

[golden parrot]

(Day 101) Bit of variety to refresh my brain, chill day

refs:

[golden parrot]

(Day 102) a few figure drawings, i might start learning the torso muscles, at least the back ones since those are the ones that I dont have that Big of a visual library as the front view

refs:

Maybe i did the torso too long

did a quick redraw without guidelines, proportions look a bit better now

[golden parrot]

(Day 103) bit of variety, i might go back to studying and learning poses bc im struggling with back views and with the torso and hips

i might need to do a big study on hips and the torso im excited about that, but i will need to find the time to do that

refs:

[golden parrot]

Ty nicole

[next mantle]

Oooo

Btw how are you improving the eyes each day in drawing a potrait the eyes turns to realistic when you draw it each time

[golden parrot]

I mean they dont look too realistic to me

But i guess i just regularly do portraits and face studies

And before that I learned the parts of the eye and how It works on a face and with angles applied

I drew this one from imagination

idk i just felt too tired to draw more or better

i gotta use hb instead of 2b

[next mantle]

Ohh make sense then

[next mantle]

You use 2b pencils?

[golden parrot]

I have an hb and a 2b pencil

[agile horizon]

tbh a 106 day streak is really impressive

I wont stop drawing every day

But its just boring to draw, then send what i did in the day

I Will just try to draw as much as possible daily

And enjoy it

I appreciate it brother 🙏

[exotic night]

You did well there are only some slight mistakes

[golden parrot]

Yes but jaw lacks definition

[exotic night]

Of course

[golden parrot]

And lacks a bit of foreshortening like i said

[exotic night]

Yeah

[golden parrot]

I dont mind

I Will just keep doing more and more

[golden parrot]

Fuck it, nityl's drawing highlights

[golden parrot]

Ive been drawing all this time no cap

[golden parrot]

Grinding torsos rn

[agile horizon]

looks good

the construction under that is hard to pull off so good job with that

practicing all angles is pretty difficult as well

[golden parrot]

Yeah

Im focusing rn on getting the proportions right, since most of the times i draw It thinner than i should

I think this one looks nice

[agile horizon]

the ribcage and arms are a little small

[golden parrot]

U think so?

[golden parrot]

im still alive

[proud tide]

Move away from anime proportions get into gesture drawing and low detail drawing or skeleton

Like ribcage spine pelvis

U can come back to anime proportions after doing human anatomy only👹
