hi ♡ can anyone give advice on those beginners in sketching? where do we start? what are the basics that we need to know? tysm for those who can help, big hug to y'all

[normal robin]

uhm there are many ways to start

just try to draw one on one

to the best of your ability

and compare it to the pic

this where you train your eyes to spot mistakes and your technique , hand eyes coordination

or try basic shapes

[hard ibex]

Not a random design

[tidal lodge]

Hii Anji, i think the best way its do what u like in the beginning
don't demand so much from yourself to avoid fatigue
and gradually introduce the fundamentals
like : perspective, basic proportion, anatomy...

[surreal bay]

@spring ore

[spring ore]

Damn I get it haha, it's beautiful!

[delicate bridge]

You can pretty much start sketching with whatever u want. But from what I can remember, I started sketching people because I wanted to get good with people first. Well... technically I wanted to get good at anime (and somehow I really liked drawing ducks LMAO) because that was obsession until I realized later that to get good at it, u have to learn basics and rules so you can break them. BUT! since we're just talking about starting with sketching and as a beginner, begin with what you want to start practicing the most. I wanted people, so I drew people but I started with faces first because to me, it was the most familiar and also the gateway to eventually drawing a full person. Eventually, you'll move on to things that will support what u're good at like background props which for me, it was just basic perspective and flowers I love me some flowers/plants to support the backdrops of my sketches.

TL;DR - Begin with what you really wanna draw the most and eventually everything else will come to you the more you do it and the more curious you get (that is, if u end up liking sketching/drawing)

[spark kettle]

Hey guys! I recently painted this but i feel like i lose so much from the sketch to the final art.. Do you all have any tips?

I like it, but i feel like the sketches always have more movements and life

[iron marten]

something i've tried is not trying to get the perfect line or stroke on the actual piece and loosening up a lot more

prioritizing the feel and movement over the accuracy is ironic but it makes it look better in the end

starting out rigid in the begining limits you a lot, since you can always go back and refine it

you could also tilt her head more and let the hair fall more into her shoulders

[iron marten]

if you're really hardcore and focused on improvement with a ton of suffering, definitely try drawabox

but if you're highschool or below just focus on practicing what you want to draw and do it for fun not for sole improvement

I think this is the closest of a tutorial/study about this style, which I think it's all about texture, style and color pallete.
Everything seems so harmonious, the colors are never too strong but not too close to gray.
Textures everywhere, specially on the highlights.
everything looks floaty, the hair and drapery are always "underwater". Of course it's not a rule, but a lot of those illustrations have this, where even though the character is still, there are some floaty elements.
Style can mean storytelling too, which this painter (and the one in the video) are very good at.

I hope it helps

simple prespective drawing

any idea how i can make it look better?

[worthy hinge]

refine the edges, give it some shadow and define the source of light

[spring ore]

hmm yeah thats true i havent done anything for the light but for the shadows idk how to do that yet

welp time for another study

[hallow eagle]

this is fking gud

[hallow eagle]

ohhh god this is so gooood

how long does it take?

[arctic jetty]

I have about 20 hours in it

It’s not such a good job bc it’s… small

[hallow eagle]

ohhh

[hallow eagle]

for me this looks very beautiful

[worthy hinge]

Ur friend has a great choice and that drawing is just chef's kiss

[arctic jetty]

What about this?

[arctic jetty]

Fanks mate you’re the best

[hallow eagle]

i swear this is very good too

look at his hair

[arctic jetty]

If I decided what the best part is, I’d definitely say it’s the lips, I mean the blending is pretty decent, and the shades and lights are the right way they were

[hallow eagle]

yes this looks so real

[arctic jetty]

And the worst, I think the ears, consider I took as reference a really old picture so most of the time I was just improvising the things

[hallow eagle]

ohh

[arctic jetty]

Anyways I believe it’s good stuff but I still believe it can be way better than that

If you want to know what I mean with way better, just look for this Instagram: heather12ooney

She’s like colored pencil god, I mean the coloring level that I have right now, doesn’t compare not even with the drawing she’s made 5 years ago

[north minnow]

is skillshare worth it? Im trying to learn graphic design

[worthy hinge]

bro just use cookies

[spring ore]

Do you guys have any tips on moving over to using color

I started line art, or just sketching and then using a stedter marker to trace and add depth

so I want to start experimenting with adding the correct colors and blending

I started to use copic markers for the coloring

[pastel silo]

Hello, you are all real artist! What a wonderful work you have done! I have always wanted to learnt to draw faces, do you have any channel or tutorial recommendation to start from zero? Thanks 😋

[arctic jetty]

best way to learn is from watching others doing it, personally i use to daily watch a video from Drawholic or Heather Rooney bc for me they're both the best realistic colored pencil artists, but definitely the best tutorials for realism in colored pencils, are the ones of Kristy Partridge, she has literally an extremely detailed tutorial for everything, skin, hair, fur, eyes, lips

to make it easier this are the ones that have helped me the most

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLFGWcln81o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdcDeXint4U

[arctic jetty]

these 4 videos are literally all you need to learn to make realistic portraits, at least they were enough for me, and if you want to see different ways to do it, it is not too necessary to watch tutorials, just watch the channels that i already mentioned and pay attention to their technique and process and so try to recreate them

[pastel silo]

@arctic jetty Whouhhh thanks a lot buddy! They seems super nice the videos, I will love to learnt to draw!

[arctic jetty]

no problem buddy gl

[forest basin]

no matter what medium you use, you need to build knowledge on color schemes, hues, and tones. start with making color charts and identifying cool tones vs warm tones, complementary color combos and contrasting colors the copics. Experiment by making your own palette . Doing this will help you design more original and vivd pieces catering to whatever vibe you want your creation wants to have.

[spring ore]

can someone help me out on how to do certain form of shading and the best clip studio paint brush?

[spring ore]

oops forgot to send this

[cosmic crater]

i think you should add more shadow and have a confidence to show a clear difference between hard and and soft edge, i drew areas which contains shadow in the ref photo (green is like soft shadow and red is definitly a hard edge). I really do recommend this video about quick learn of shadows, i hope you will learn something new ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcCJ2CU-bFw&ab_channel=MarcoBucci

The way I started on faces was learning on particular parts of the face. Such as a video on eyes and a video on ears, lips , everything. And with a bit peactice I started to imitate these styles better. Then after a little practice went onto reference photos. At first they will or will not be what you want. But drawing multiple faces a day allows you to experiment with facial proportions and hair. Here is one example of a face I did

Nose proportion is a bit off but I am still practicing.

[woeful apex]

something that has helped me, is litterly measuring your reference

[spring ore]

sorry for the late reply but holy shit thank u so much

[forest basin]

when drawing something like cloth it' should focus more on line quality, so try to add depth by showing variety in the lines. , you can fill in all the shadows u want but the impression you get in your drawings with line is what shows mastery. another thing i would like to add is breaking down your object into simpler shapes. even it sonthing loose like cloth or hair - thry do have mass and volume to them , so think in terms of shapes , break it down and put it together

[worthy hinge]

Where's my juicy apple?

[knotty flicker]

[spring ore]

[knotty flicker]

[arctic jetty]

what a waste of time bro I never did that, easily just took the colors of what I want to do and made a replic of them in paper, literally all you're gonna do with what you said is just duplifying your job

[arctic jetty]

the ear looks like an ovni, the nose only has 1 nostril, the surounding of the lips, better known as
lip vermilion, is waaay darker than the color it should be according to the rest of the skin, neck muscles are terribly wrong distributed, and just a question, did you take frozono as reference?

[karmic jay]

it's not a waste of time, its how people that want to paint "have to" study

what if he wants to paint something that doesn't exist? how would you replicate it? what if you want to paint something with a different pallete/color? with the fundamentals, you can do that with more ease than just guessing

[spring ore]

Hmmm do you have any tips how I can fix those mistakes, like a video or what main things to pay attention to. Also no it’s not frozone, it’s is a random model I found on pinterest.

[odd swan]

Hello guys, i don't know if im able to share a link to the drawing, but i drew James and felt like sharing it here!

Don't know if rules allow to send an Instagram link

[arctic jetty]

painting, colouring, I just can say it can be frustrating trying to learn stuff that's actually just crab, if his main goal is portraying, he'r better learn to blend the colors and the the correct tone

[arctic jetty]

I was just kidding bro it's completely alrigh if you showed this to your class i'm pretty sure they'll be surprised but keep in mind there are some mistakes only a few ones can see, if you don't make it too good on a drawing just keep going and try harder the next one, and the next one and the next one, if you could do it perfect on your first trials, then what will make you special when you actually achieve greatness?

[karmic jay]

yeah, it's frustrating to learn

[mossy quiver]

[forest basin]

its not a waste of time, its how you build an actual knowledge of painting like artists have for centuries .

also, the thing you said about replicating, u can do the replication with any medium as long as you have a base knowledge on how colors work. that's the process especially if you'r drawing straight from life

[forest basin]

learning to blend colors and knowing tone - is included in the curriculum like i mentioned. it doesn't take long to go through them tho

the frustrating part can be the experimenting process tho

where you try to use your own sense and figure things out

[strong stratus]

hey guys i want to learn the basics of art, like I used to draw but with no foundation and now I am rly interested in learning from scratch. By drawing I mean on paper, not digital, and anime style using graphite/water colors whataver is easier at first.

I completley forgot that I uploaded a wip version of this a bit ago and never shared the finsihed result. My brother says the eyes look off and "derpy", do yall have any advice or critiques on how I can fix that? (btw the character is not my own; they're from the animation "PUPARIA" by Shingo Tamagawa).

[forest basin]

looks really cool though you can try adding some depth to the eyes with black lines , make the pupils darker and add highlights

overall bro this is awesome

[tall violet]

Thank you so much for the advice, it means a lot! I'll definitely try that!

[tribal jewel]

I adore Puparia and have made art based off of it as well, not to mention the sound track is great. I think the colors used in the background were good choices(in general, the color choice is very attractive) and you've filled the image well. You could immigrate some sort of leading lines, even indistinctively, to draw attention to her(?). I would also suggest pushing the forehead further back a bit, to clear up the visible area of her face and let her eyes show. Its very beautiful, I hope this helps some. Lovely work bee.

[tribal jewel]

I love the anatomy and expression of them, really cool.

[tall violet]

Thank yooou! I thought something looked off about the forehead but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, so thanks so much for the feedback! I love Puparia so much too, I've lost track of how many times I've watched it 😅

[tribal jewel]

Ikr, since I saw your art I had to watch it again. Its almost obsessively ethereal.

I wish I could atleast draw a normal heart diagram, this is wayyyyyy out of my league

Not that I'm bad at drawing, I'm bad at coloring (it's just too boring for me)

[arctic jetty]

if you were the owner of a mechanic store, and you needed to hire personal, who would you hire?, a guy who comes and tells you he's learned everything he knows by studying, or the guy who comes and tells he's learned everything he know by just practicing and work, I worked at a truck workshop as a refactionary, and there were idiots that came and said that they were studying and shit but nah they believed they could do whatever kind of fixing just bc they had a lot of "knowledge" and when they got to work they couldn't do a shit, what i mean is that I believe practice comes before theory, first you have to try something to specifically determine what you actually need to study, im my case at drawing my only problem has been proportions and color tonifications

[arctic jetty]

I guess everyone has the enough knowledge to know how to apply the correct colors in the correct parts

[arctic jetty]

finally something you say that I can agree with, 25% of success is theory the other 75% is about practice

[dense salmon]

Correct!

[tribal jewel]

It’s important to practice hands on, but theres a balance between study and action. Both should be considered when progressing through a new topic.

[spring ore]

Hi

[karmic jay]

hey

[spring ore]

Anybody have any tips on sketching quickly. Like, when you are in a bus and see people and get a pretty recognizable face and figure.

when drawing

[haughty terrace]

simple answer would be practice; but thats not what you want to hear
if you draw slowly and are unable to draw faster on command, its probably because you aren't used to drawing whatever it is you want to draw, and you dont understand the structures behind objects. youd basically just have to do countless studies to imitate likeness to become better and faster,

but for a quick fix id recommend seeing objects through shapes, its hard to explain through words but this video explains it pretty well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG-WG6JeKNI

[spring ore]

Yeah I suspected it had to be something in that context. Thanks for the info and advice, will watch the vid rn

[wet hull]

My attempt at trying to draw the cover art of The Weeknds My Dear Melancholy

[scarlet otter]

[forest basin]

i totally agree but the thing is you need to study in order to know what to practice . they both go hand in hand. Im not saying they should just study and get on with it - the practice is part of studying it is assumed that the student is applying the knowledge .no? I'm just saying you can't start practicing blindly

someon help me…

i want my line art to look like this

but all i can do is this

[karmic jay]

do you draw with a tablet or with a mouse?

[normal robin]

Tab

Does it look like im drawing with a mouse?

QwQ

[karmic jay]

his thinnest lines are for some details like some hair, nose, cloth
thick lines for the outline in general or what you want to make more visible and differentiate the objects (mouth and jaw, hands and cloth) from one another

he/she can control the lines very well, and it doesn't seem to do any cross-hatching which makes the drawings very clean and readable but it can lose a bit of the 3dimentionality, so you got to do a good sketch for a very good looking lineart

[karmic jay]

not really, it looks like you do vector art since you don't add any pressure changes to your drawing

@normal robin what do you think?

[normal robin]

really? i did once vector art but its REAL BAD

like

this look more like smth off of a anime scene

and i was happy with it for few moment

but honestly after 3 hours im pretty pissed

it lack… the flow

or smth

[karmic jay]

maybe experiences with more thick and thin lines are the key for you to achieve the style you want

[normal robin]

maybe

also brush

this was abit a rough one

instead of my smooth brush

[spring ore]

@normal robin
honestly speaking, i dont have much experience with line art..
but i believe art is a way to express human emotion.
in this drawing the man's face doesnt show much emotion whether he is happy or smthing
whereas the girl's does.

i would suggest, you can try emptying your mind while drawing. dont worry about how the final result will look like, whether, you would match your goal or not. enjoy the proccess....

hope this helps!

[true hornet]

@normal robin Need to implement Line weight

objects in the foreground have thiccer lines than those in the back

also Highlight overlaps

all your lines have the Same Weight

No matter the distance or placement

which makes everything Look very 2d

https://youtu.be/vh-QKKRFD14

look how the lines from the hand in the foreground are way thicker and darker than for example the Hair thats in the background

also a little trick you can use If you wanna make lines darker and everything visible after you applied Line weight is to Just copy and paste your layers

Like this for example

its the Same drawing but i Copy pasted the layers multiple times to make everything a bit darker

but then like i said also needs Line weight to work

what i like to do to give the artwork a bit more depth is to highlight overlaps with these little shadows Here

hope some of that is useful to you and helps

[normal robin]

cant enjoy it at this point when the more passion you show the worst the art is

its just a down hill slope

[spring ore]

take a break then,
i write poetry, and every artist does get stuck every once a while
dont worry!
whenever you naturally feel like coming back to your art, then only do it...

[normal robin]

yeah maybe its just a fact that i stuck in a art block

[ocean patio]

i almost completely stopped drawing for a year due to personal issue and study and now I can't do "ok" things anymore coz i lost the habit. ^^"
Concerning your line art , as ppl have said earlier lineweight is important to apply, even though many anime studio do use it that much because the goal ain't the same as u.
During your "break" keep practicing just don't be a mad scientist ok? No hard composition or serious character design or any of that kind. Release pressure from your mind doing warmups, observation, gesture, and exploration.

The worst thing to do is being like me, Searching way too complex, Overthinking, Being Perfectionnist when u don't have the experience or the knowledge to do so. All of this leads to Art block, depression, surrender, and increase laziness.

I can only recommend to make a step back from serious work for few days to get back at it as fresh and free as possible.

Anyone knows graphic designing...iam beginner and need help

[warm siren]

Hey guys, someone wants to hire me to do some NFT art and they are asking me how much I want them to pay me but i have no idea!!
Anyone experienced in the area?

They are asking for all of this:
4 different face shape
5 different backgrounds
5 different HAIR per Character
5 different Eye per character
5 different Clothes per character
5 different Hat per character
5 different accessories per character
3 different face mask per character

[forest basin]

i dm'd u a server link that would probably help

[pseudo island]

Atleast:
Hourly/daily fee
price per character
price per background

also, ask them how many characters do they want, how detailed does it need to be?. It seems that they want a lot so do not be afraid to ask for money. It is also your time and skill that goes into this. Talking with the client, designing, cleaning up the design and presenting is a lot of work + time

If it goes well, ask for a payment upfront, about 50% of the price. Getting scammed sucks

[warm siren]

Thank you so much that actually helps a lot!

[pseudo island]

np np

Also, don't send sketches/designs without watermark / something to protect it

[warm siren]

thank you they did ask for a sketch so I'll be careful with that

[spring ore]

hey ppl!
i needed some help. i wont call myself a "proper artist" but i like to make these paintings on plastic sheets. basically i draw the outlines and then fill them up with special paints..
has anyone got any tips on what i can draw or any tips to improve them in general?
constructive criticism is appreciated!
Thanks

[crimson bolt]

80% to 75%
If you don't know who the client is and would rather submit photos taken with your phone camera, don't send screenshots.

If you have information on them, such as who they are and where they live, you can come to an arrangement with 50 percent payment in advance

and because it is for NFT you're kinda safe if they tried to stole because the copyright belongs to you (Mention that the copyright will only be transferred to the client after full payment)

By the number they asked they can make nft characters above 1000 . i don't much about how it works but the minimum bid i saw for this kind of nfts are 0.1 eth which is approximate 362 $ (and there will be minimum amount of fee for the platform) . So they get X1000+ $. so try to propose your payment by depending on there profit not only your work and the time you took , and ya don't over shoot they are the ones who take risks only a small parentage, which is greater than your usual work/time dependent payment ||@warm siren ||

[pseudo island]

good points

[spring ore]

You can draw cartoons on a little-big sheet ( remember to poke a hole near the cartoon) and then burn it with a lighter or candle so it shrinks down to small and you can use it as a keychain then. You can make bookmarks too.

[spring ore]

I tore the paper while drawing the lips, since they were so small and I tried to get them perfect. I can never draw lips

[torpid sequoia]

Did you try changing brushes?

[normal robin]

all look the same if not worst

[torpid sequoia]

Mmmh
I'm good at line art and I can tell even the slightest difference

Also if you want to improve your line art, start with a good sketch, and no thin lines, keep your brush at different sizes, I'm always around 15 and maximum 30 with a round brush, sometimes less but rarely
I feel like in your drawings you barely change the size of your brush?

And make sure the pressure of your pen does work

I used 3 or 4 different brushes

There's no need to ruin this channel full of beautiful creations with our ugly math problems 😉

[tall violet]

Yeah, I'm mainly doing environments, but I also want to create a narrative out of them. From what I've heard from other students tho, is that young arts judges don't really favor narratives/stories/comics etc.

[spring ore]

These are so creative and outstanding 💓 love them

What's that in the mouth anyway?

[still timber]

Thanks! Those are cigs btw

[spring ore]

Oh are these made on canvas or device?

[spring ore]

Oh nice they are dope

Also what do these depict? I guess it's the cigarate smoke from her eyes? And what's the injury from?

[still timber]

They're all digital; I was trying to pull a traditional-like painting on all of it

[spring ore]

Oh

[still timber]

I can't really explain what all of these depict, I guess maybe I'm trying to give my works some trademark to it.

[spring ore]

Her hair in this one is so perfect

[still timber]

And btw the last two are stills from films!

[spring ore]

Oh nice

[spring ore]

the drawings look g8
ig the eyes could you a bit more work
the flame looks like a sticker pasted on the face 😅

[coarse void]

do you want to enter a contest ? is of visual arts?

[still timber]

Yes, I agree! I'm learning how to make these flames glow. But for now, I think I'm sticking with it sticking like a sticker hahaha

[coarse void]

you must recognize the theme of the contest
the intentions, if it is a traditional painting you should focus on the use of materials and colors and the form, if it is a contemporary painting you should focus on the concept or the medium of painting.

[spring ore]

In looove!

i wanted to ask how do poeple figure out how to draw hair?, theres this hair style that seems super complex ive been wanting to draw

[spring ore]

I guess take help of technology. Apply black n white effect and increase the Sharpness of the picture. That will help

hmm i wil ltry do that thank you

[vagrant rover]

yeaa thanks

[torpid sequoia]

Focus on the general shape of the hairstyle and the movement of the curls
Also try to know where the hair starts
You're not supposed to draw every single hair, but the more visible ones

[spring ore]

ill try its also a matter of i dont know how to draw the curls im very new to art

[spring ore]

Same

[frigid wyvern]

I think you should Try to look and figure out the hair type how its like and then start drawing, draw an overall extrior structure then just hair in it

like this I made a structure first now I can add hairs in it, with the bend to make it look natural

also Just like I said it depends on what you are making like it this one its hardly any depth of quantity of hair, i haven't filled it yet its complete.

[tall violet]

Yeah, it's kinda like a contest, but it doesn't have a theme. The students themselves choose concentrations, they can be new or from past years of highschool. Students have to explain the meaning and processes behind their portfolios. And thank you so much for the advice! Really appreciate it!

i guess you should learn about perspective

[dire nebula]

ye bro ill learn it

im just starting my art journey ive been stem student all my life never really drew shit

do you have any tips for a newbie

[narrow lark]

Just practice everyday , make a drawing a day and you'll be good

[dire nebula]

okii thankyou

[narrow lark]

:)

[torpid sequoia]

Draw cubes, spheres, circles, break things into basic shapes, it helps a lot, and watch others' people process and tutorials

I personally think you don't have to draw every single day to progress, you just need to train your eyes, but yes of course you also have to practice at some point, but avoid the artist' burnout by practicing every day

[narrow lark]

Yea you are right practicing too much is also not good , It can lead to artists block but what I was trying to say was practice consistently..

[torpid sequoia]

Oh okay, yes consistency is important
I draw every 4 months since I don't have time to, and it's detrimental because I can't progress at all

How can i draw a zelfportret

Selfportret **

[ornate rapids]

Sight size

With a proper mirror easel set up

This is assuming you don’t already have a decent grasp on observation/ proportional accuracy

Intuitive simple forms in perspective and light and shadow on form

And a decent knowledge of constructive anatomy

[ornate rapids]

Then sight size is the best way to achieve a nice drawing that is accurate

[ornate rapids]

Poopoo imagination

[trim vector]

Can I have some feedbacks please? Ty

[main nymph]

I'd say the right arm looks almost invisible at 1st glance and the area where the left arm connects to the chest/pecs looks a bit thin(not too sure about this one). really cool work though

[pseudo island]

Add more shadow under the chin if you want to separate those forms, it now looks like she is pushing her head back into her neck . (I suggest using a triangle-ish shaped shadow since it's roughly the same shape as hear chin and triangle is a really good form to separate forms)

Looking at the highlights we can see that the light is coming from top/right/behind.

But your shadows on your fence are showing us that light is only coming in from the top. Her right arm/hand is/are also catching light from a different angle/lightsource.

Define your lightsource, find out which planes are facing towards/away/etc from your light source, that way you can have consistent lighting and shadows.

Planes facing the light are the lightest whilst facing away are the darkest. Everything between these two states will never be as light or as dark. (excluding castshadows)

IsteBrak has some really really good video's explaining this 100x better than I can @trim vector

[split tartan]

working slowly on things

[finite pike]

Wooow I've been so impressed by what you guys have been sending over the last few days

You're all so great, keep it up ! 💪

[upbeat ivy]

How can I get started in digital art?

Like in terms of materials, courses etc

[split tartan]

If you don't mind a one-time purchase, Clip Studio Paint is apparently affordable and popular. Gimp is free, as well as fire alpaca. SAI is a one time purchase too, and also popular. Personally, I use Photoshop, but it isn't cheap.

In terms of actual art, it depends on what your skill level is at right now. What are you familiar with so far?

Basic anatomy, color theory, etc.

Also, materials wise, you'll need some kind of tablet.

The Wacom brand is what most everybody uses. I'd either go cheap and look for an older model on ebay, like a Bamboo or Intuos draw if you can find one that's guaranteed to work. They're cheap and last a long time. Don't go spending a lot of money on something big and grand. Smaller ones work just as well. You can also buy one of the cheaper, newer ones if you really want. Up to you.

If you have an iPad with an apple pen, you can also use that.

[upbeat ivy]

@split tartan I'm just starting from no skills what so ever. As for the tablet would you say the One wacom is worth purchasing?

[split tartan]

Yes, that's the newer cheap model they have. That'd work just fine.

Since you're just starting out, there's a bunch of approaches you can take. If you're enrolled in a college, they might offer some courses called figure drawing or life drawing. These are the basics for any artist, and can be transferred into digital art very easily. This is if you want to start getting into drawing characters, monsters, etc.

Here are some resources that will really benefit you. I suggest watching the videos a few times to actually soak in the information, then try doing some experimental sketches:

• https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3BE843C2DE5DC6AC & https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLflflDShjUKH4EfZyf0vuKEuqeqvlV0Qd Playlists of videos from Sinix, a well known artist. These are short and mostly supplementary, but they go over key topics really well.

• http://figuredrawingdotinfo.blogspot.com/ Michael Hampton is another highly praised artist. His anatomical prowess is incredible, and he breaks down the human figure to its most basic shapes, up through the skeleton and muscle structures. If you're looking to go hard with it, I suggest looking through his blog. You can also buy his book.

Consider studying the elements of art to get a good starting grasp on art as a whole. Explore art history, maybe find some artists that speak to you, or ages in art that resonate with what you like. My biggest recommendation is to do something called Life Drawing. I mentioned this earlier--it's one of the most important things you can do when learning art. I'm a bit hypocritical, as I don't do it anymore really, but it's something they pushed when I was in college.

Basically, you sit down and draw from life. People, nature, buildings, etc. The more you do this, the more you come to understand perspective, how less lines can be more once you figure out shape language, etc. Light and shadow. All kinds of stuff.

When you start exploring drawing from life, you'll start learning about gesture drawing. This is also very important.

All of this can be done digitally, btw. But try experimenting traditionally when you can. There are people who draw just with a ballpoint pen on a cheap notebook. You don't need fancy materials for traditional art, and it can be a great way to practice if you don't have access to your computer.

The thing you're wanting to improve when you first start out is draftsmanship and your understanding of how things work in the world. from there, you can start exploring things like stylization, animation, etc.

This can seem like a lot, but I'm always seeing people just look at those 'do this not that' tutorials and it upsets me a bit--they're not helpful at all imo.
If you want to 'get good', draw everyday. But if you value your physical health, take lots of breaks and don't push yourself.

[main nymph]

https://www.brendanmeachen.com/soloartist

This is what I'm loosely following

[upbeat ivy]

@split tartan Alright thank you as for the sometimes doing traditional art are there any special pencils and paper you can use to make the process more enjoyable?

[split tartan]

So you can use anything, really. Here's some suggestions that can be found on amazon or in craft stores:

• Graphite pencils. There's a bunch of sets on amazon with different lead types--each lead type has a different feel, weight, etc. You can watch a video on it. Staedtler or faber-castell would work. When it comes to picking the hardness of lead that you think will work best, it really just comes down to preference, which is why I suggest buying a set so you can try all of them out.

• Prismacolor Col-Erase Pencil. These are often used by animators and are erasable colored pencils that are great for underdrawings/sketches, especially if you plan on drawing on top of the sketch with a pen or something. I typically get 'non-photo blue' or 'red'.

• Zebra Pens (Ballpoint, 0.5mm). These are used by a lot of artists for life drawing. They have a surprising versatility to them and, unlike Micron pens (which you might see a lot of artists use), act more like a pencil. I have a few myself.

• Micron Pens. You'll see these used a lot, and I also sometimes use them. I don't think they're necessarily the best, but some people can get a lot of mileage out of them. They also come in packs of different sizes. I personally use the really fine ones.

As far as paper goes, I prefer one kind of sketchbook that has never really failed me:
https://www.amazon.com/Canson-Heavyweight-Texture-Sizing-Sheets/dp/B002NQ5P36/ref=sr_1_37?dchild=1&keywords=sketchbook&qid=1634576859&sr=8-37&th=1

These come in multiple sizes. Mixed media is great because you can do painting, sketching, etc. The paper is on the thicker side, which helps prevent bleeding, and it's usually on sale.

As you get better at art, you'll start to find that you don't need a bunch of tools. And, like I mentioned before, some artists use REALLY cheap materials like plastic ballpoint pens or even shitty school pencils. It's really up to you and how you use your tools to make art. But it's always fun to experiment and see what you like and dislike.

[spring ore]

Its not this good ik But Can someone give me some tipps how to shadow better ?

[split tartan]

Try blending out your shadows and midtones by doing this sketch technique:

Define the edges of each object within your image with a heavier line weight (thicker), in areas where you've got shadow, and then slowly fill in using the same technique I did. You'll want to define a lightsource in your image but

it can be tough since you're doing a snow globe and that's got a few different materials going at the same time.

Always define your lightsource first.

Im also guessing it's nighttime in this image? In the snow globe.

So this is a bit of a severe light source, given that it's in a snowglobe, but here's an example of how shadows might work with the moon being positioned that way.

[spring ore]

Wooowwww i rly apreciate your help

Trank your very very much !!!!!

[spring ore]

You make it look so good

[split tartan]

ahh, thank you! it's tough to get the hang of light and shadows, and midtones too, but you'll get there soon enough. It's good that you're getting the basics down!

ig there is some proportional or postion problem with the head/neck part

[haughty terrace]

i feel this may be a bit harsh, esp when you are in artblock, so please take this with a grain of salt :) your enjoyment for art is more imporant than improving.

the face and colors are very pleasing to look at, but the body could use some fixing.
i feel you were atleast subconsciously trying to draw a front on body with a 3/4 face, so some issues popped up; if you try to draw the body underneath the clothes, it lacks structure and the clavicle is at a very awkward position, and the neck attaches toward the front of the skull instead of the centre of the skull. With just a little bit of structure your art will be super amazing :D
moderndayjames has some great form and anatomy videos, so give them a go!

[worthy breach]

Hi! I am russian and i know eng so-so, sorry for that, but! I learn animation in russia and wanna know, somebody learn this too?

[celest nest]

Anyone here would like to be a kind of mentor for me? I have a lot of difficulty with visual things and I wanted to improve a little by learning to illustrate I can't even draw a frog

I don't know how to draw or simple drawings like stick figures or simple characters I just wanted someone to talk to and try to figure out some of my problem

[hard ibex]

Thanks

[forest basin]

like are u teaching because I would love to learn . Im a huge fan of russian animators especially Yuri and Francisca Norstein .

[worthy breach]

It's very cool, I'm in college as an animator, we're studying the history of animation, and it's really very interesting and inspiring, who else do you like?

[blazing epoch]

sketch in paint

[boreal anvil]

how do i stop feeling like i want to quit art while i'm alraedy on the 5th semester of art school

idk it feels like heavy burnout

[eternal sphinx]

If you want to help you at your home work in theory music u welcome !!!!

[tough jewel]

You gotta push through it. 😕💜 You know, in the end it will all be worth it!!

[delicate bridge]

so sorry ure going thru that. Im assuming it's creative burnout.. that's rly soul-sucking. Have u taken time for urself lately? :c

[delicate bridge]

been a while so i wanna share a snippet of current sketch (trying to not do my actual illustration hw ) however, does anyone have a good ear-drawing tip I can follow or something cuz damn. I hate not being able to remember a friggin organ that I look at everyday whenever I put earrings on.

[boreal anvil]

no

i think that's why, i haven't really focus on art lately,

[delicate bridge]

I'm not sure how u feel about art currently but maybe try spending some time doing what u like to do in art with quick sketches or whatever u do. I know that not everything u do in Uni is really what u want to do and we can lose ourselves in the process. Or if u just want a break completely, spend time somewhere else with friends or just watch a movie or show. I like to avoid burn out by just hanging out with my older sister/friends or be by myself and shop or just go to the park to jog, bake stuff, etc. Do anything else that's productive besides creative work.

[boreal anvil]

ouch i got injured

because of an art piece i've been working on

[boreal anvil]

yeah i think i need to do that too, i've been really neglecting my emotional needs lately

[boreal anvil]

can i have any improvements or critics please😩 this is for an assignment but it really really looks sloppy imo

[terse lava]

It may look sloppy but in my opinion I enjoy light drawings like those

It reminds me of fun textbooks they’d give you in pre school

Also the female looks like the main character in In this Corner of the World

[flint token]

this looks cute

[boreal anvil]

ohh the female is supposed to be a granny

but i know that movie

[boreal anvil]

yeah, i was supposed to adapt a children's short story into an illustration

so i made the artstyle look like a children's storybook

[terse lava]

aww that’s wonderful

[terse lava]

is it a short story you create?

[boreal anvil]

i like children's styled illustration too, and no, it's a short story from a local kids magazine in my country

[terse lava]

ooh

[boreal anvil]

the picture above wasn't finished though

i did a little adjusment like doing more thick lines

i'm studying visual design btw

[terse lava]

there’s one children’s short story I barely remembered years ago but it was about some boy who was once a peach??

[boreal anvil]

visual communication design

ooh it's a japanese one

[terse lava]

omg that’s great

[boreal anvil]

it's called momotaro

ik that story

[terse lava]

yes I grew up with many Japanese tales

[boreal anvil]

there's like a local version here

[terse lava]

that’s why the illustration is so familiar haha

[boreal anvil]

there's similar themes on asian countries

mostly about children facing adult problems unexpectedly

it's so common here

[terse lava]

oh yes like princess kaguya if I spelt that riht

right

[boreal anvil]

there's one called "timun mas" here which is about a child who had to face two demons sent to kill her

i love princess kaguya

the ghibli adaptation was beautiful

the ending was really sad though

i know about japanese tales from imported manga back then

[terse lava]

I agree, it was one of their few interesting animations

Not like the others

[boreal anvil]

imho, most asian folklores mostly center about the same themes

coming-of-age some sort

it's to taught children to face real problems

[terse lava]

yes I only realized that when you mentioned it hm

[boreal anvil]

i live in indonesia and yeah

it's common

i like it though

[terse lava]

i live in America but I used to live in Okinawa when I was a toddler

In school there were many festivals

[boreal anvil]

wait i'm gonna censor my name in here

[terse lava]

One of them scared the heck out of me

[boreal anvil]

i don't want irls to know me here

[boreal anvil]

ooh

[terse lava]

ah makes sense

[boreal anvil]

half japanese?

[terse lava]

no no

Military

[boreal anvil]

ooh

your father served in japan?

[terse lava]

I’m mixed but no where from Asia

yea

[boreal anvil]

ohh yeah it's common to get drafted to japan i guess

[terse lava]

but he moved around while we were stationed there

[boreal anvil]

america built a military base in japan

ooh i see

well i'm asian but nowhere near japanese

but i know the language though

[terse lava]

I’m really thankful I didn’t live on mainland japan

you’re south East Asian was it?

[boreal anvil]

yeah i am southeast

i don't really like japan in general actualy

except their fictional media like manga or anime

[terse lava]

I’d say the same based of the high rates of a few things

[boreal anvil]

||japan is a bit self-centered||

sorry 😦

[terse lava]

nah nah

I understand

idk after being on the internet

[boreal anvil]

japanese people think they're the "best" on asia

[terse lava]

I never realized how people idolize japan saying it’s better than many countries

[boreal anvil]

some of them are really snobbish

yeah i hate people who idolize japan

[terse lava]

they only think of their culture but never the people that live there

[boreal anvil]

japan isn't utopia

and no country will ever will

[terse lava]

like what about the high rates of suicide among young students?!

[boreal anvil]

idk after hearing that japanese people really look down on southeast asians.. that made me lose respect to most people there

[terse lava]

it’s crazy how they don’t see that stuff and try to hide it

[boreal anvil]

yeah japan has many problems around the work culture

[terse lava]

yeah never go to mainland

[boreal anvil]

imo japan is too

strange

[terse lava]

Unless you wanna learn about the culture

[boreal anvil]

they shut the country down during the meiji era so yeah

that explains

[terse lava]

wow

[boreal anvil]

you didn't know

?

[terse lava]

they’re still closed to many countries

[boreal anvil]

yeah

[terse lava]

which sucks

[boreal anvil]

like other east asian countries in general, i don't really like them tbh😭

but i'm cool with their pop culture

well not really but i tolerate the pop culture at least

i got so angry learning that east asians look down on southeast asians

[terse lava]

it may seem weird but the only reason why I keep interest in East Asian countries is because of the architecture and history

[boreal anvil]

most of them are just too snobbish and rude in general, idk, mostly just consist the elederly there

[terse lava]

even with their clothes from back then

[boreal anvil]

that's fine

sorry i don't mean to sound rude above... that doesn't mean i hate them but it's just,,, i hate their goverment or something

[terse lava]

the fact they respect the elderly yet lately no child has been willing to take care of their grandparents is crazy

[terse lava]

you’re fine

[boreal anvil]

they're too focused on worldly desires imo

like they forgot that they die one day

[terse lava]

one thing that bothered me was that whole one child policy in China

I understand they wanted to drop the population but

now theres way more males than females

[boreal anvil]

and the social credit system

[terse lava]

and idk everywhere I go theres always a Chinese female adopted into a white family

[boreal anvil]

😭😭

[terse lava]

I have had 3 friends

[boreal anvil]

east asian countries are just too serious compared to southeast ones

[terse lava]

who were raised by a white family

my father love south east Asia

[boreal anvil]

in indonesia maybe it's because the religious influence is strong here, so no one feels like they're taking life too seriously

[terse lava]

For the food 😭

[boreal anvil]

but again, southeast asia (except singapore) feels like they still had a lot to catch up to fit in the modern society

esp. indonesia

[terse lava]

what are some things I should learn about when it comes to south east Asia

Tbh I really only know about the food

[boreal anvil]

i'm sorry but i was never proud of my own country as well

😭😭

indonesia still had a long way to go

[boreal anvil]

oh hmm idk

their lifestyle i guess?

in indonesia it feels like no one took life that seriously

or else you'll be called an "orgil" or some sort here

[terse lava]

I mean if you look at Korea, it wasn’t until the end of the 20th century when they starting revolutionizing

[boreal anvil]

"orgil" means "crazy"

[boreal anvil]

yes yes

korea was once really poor

i know that

korea seems like a horrible country before

[terse lava]

I wish those countries could help the Philippines

[boreal anvil]

they're a small country and always annexed by it's neighbors

but it's incredible how modern south korea is now

[terse lava]

oh man

[boreal anvil]

then again

korean society seems like it has too many problems as well

[terse lava]

my friend brought back souvenirs from South Korea. Most of it seemed to just be about Kpop??

[boreal anvil]

yeah it's no suprise

kpop is like their main industry

wait are we okay talking about this stuff here?

in the art channel i mean

[terse lava]

if you mention korea to anyone. It’s only about kpop

and the whole kpop thing is messy too

You have people calling one person ugly and another not

bruh I had one friend who said “they can do that because they’re also Korean” what??

[boreal anvil]

yeah ik korean culture is messy

[terse lava]

You can dislike someone’s looks because you’re the same ethnicity?!

crazy

[boreal anvil]

that's why i never really went deep into their fandoms

but i mean it's ok to like kpop

just try not to obsess on them

same goes with any other content

obsession is bad

[terse lava]

Sorry I noticed we are flooding the chat

[boreal anvil]

yeah me too like we got too serious on the art channel😭😭

[terse lava]

😭😭

[boreal anvil]

i have no self control

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[terse lava]

yea

[boreal anvil]

sorry again i hope none of east asians dislike me after this

i sound so racist im so sorry😭😭

am i?

idk

[terse lava]

no

I remember someone saying “you’re racist if you dislike kpop”

I actually don’t like any pop genres

That goes with Korean pop

😭

[boreal anvil]

ok man sorry but im doing my work rn

u can add me if u wanna talk more btw

sorry am busy rn😭😭

[terse lava]

it’s fine

oil pastel attempt

[boreal anvil]

nice

i wanna try gouache someday

i only do most art digitally lately

[terse lava]

I’d love to try gouache ughh

[boreal anvil]

bye btw im doing ma work

[worthy breach]

The movement is very good, I also want to(

[delicate bridge]

coulda moved it to ur dms ahhaha but it's aight. Just do it for next time i g

[delicate bridge]

thank u thank u

[boreal anvil]

oh ok sorry 😭😭

[delicate bridge]

I think this is absolutely adorable and the way it is done sits well. I don't think it's necessarily sloppy, maybe certain areas just need more contrast to complete the look. Up to your judgement

[boreal anvil]

yeah that was unfinished

[delicate bridge]

aaaah isee i see

[boreal anvil]

i did more shading afterwards

[boreal anvil]

i really wanna study architecture

i didn't take it as my major because i'm bad at math

but i'm really curious what architecture school is like somehow

[fringe copper]

you could perhaps visit a university or college and listen to architecture classes? 🥺

[delicate bridge]

for free? i hope so

[fringe copper]

ah yeah forgot about the money

[boreal anvil]

money

😭😭

i mean now you can learn anything by yourself

[boreal anvil]

but

architecture seems like hell and torture

that's why i didn't take that major

i'm scared of either k wording myself in the middle of the major

😭😭

[flint stump]

Does anyone here use a IPad for drawing? And which model are you using?

[sacred spruce]
