There's no side. I rushed through it as fast as I could, and made the canvas bigger at some point, so the later stuff is closer to the edge. That's about it

My answer is yes

File: dfslkjklfgrskljsdfg.png (1.8 MB)

i wondered while drawing how much of a thought process and rationale can be extracted back from individual drawn lines

If you fucking niggers are going to continue to not include the art I don’t post in your fucking collages then I’m going to keep not posting art you assholes I hate you and I wish you were dead but not as much as Jews because I hate them the most then niggers and after that you unless you’re a Jew and/or nigger because then you get bumped into the appropriate category

>>7952243
I’m the opposite. Posting here motivates me a lot, just the mere fact that I know I’m going to post something that will be seen by someone else motivates me to draw more in the first place and also do a good job on it.

I just realized that beyond your grotesque themes and taste your shades and shape language seems fairly well developed.

File: 4 Tones.jpg (281.0 KB)

>>7952412
Thank you! No prob! I just use the opacity, I chose a basic line color and set the opacity at 20% for the clearest tone. And then stack another 20% layer to get a darker tone, and another 20% layer to get another one. So With 4 tones I can do what I need.
Basically, I just use those 4 tones to do the bucket fill, That would be for starters, 2 layers of the line work duplicated. One is the line layer on top, and the bucket filled one at the bottom. Then I add a couple of 20% opacity layers to do a shadow layer (using the line basic color of course) and a lighting layer using just a flat white for things like the shiny hair.
It's an extremely minimal setup to do stuff really quick. The fun part is doing something weird with the pose or the figure's shape. After that I just want to move on, and do other weird shit lol. So I just want to slap some mid tones and leave it at that.

Sorry, now that I think about it I should have drawn something normal for you. I just draw shit without thinking.

You should go through fun with a pencil by andrew loomis

Apparently there is a correct way of using rulers. I was struggling because sometimes the pen nib does not touch where the ruler edge touches, so I have to do weird compensation by putting the ruler farther than where the line should go. Turns out, I just need to rotate everything so the pen is always leaning away from the ruler, so the nib can touch more precisely on the edge.

That book sucks and is boring. Pyw crab

File: dd.png (3.1 MB)

is 1500 x 1500 at 300 dpi too small/low quality for a canvas or does it not matter?
also please critique is appreciated, tried doing a fully painting esque type coloring job with this

DPI is for printing physically. Canvas size on the other hand are the dimensions of the digital canvas, for example 500x500. If you plan to print physically, ideally you would paint on the largest canvas size you can, say 4000x4000 or something. Because you never know how big you might want the physical print to be later. You can always make it smaller later if you need to, but not bigger without obvious upscaling artifacts or blurring if you decide not to use upscale algorithms.

So, high dpi if you plan to print physically, and also high canvas size if you can help it. Otherwise dpi doesn't matter.

>>7952628
>high dpi
*Low. The bigger the print you want, the lower the dpi should be.

>>7952629
That's only if you're going to be standing far away from the print. If people are going to be looking up close, higher dpi is better. 300 is standard for most cases I think.

File: 1779820487749887.png (2.1 MB)

>>7952624
I usually work at something like 30% more than what the intended dimensions will be, it still looks like shit because I'm not exactly a good artist but it's a lot easier to work with

>>7952812
and who tf are you?

>>7952624
Several artists work at 3 times that resolution, even 7-10 times (they release a scaled down version).
Dpi doesn't matter.

>>7952628
>>7952629
>>7952630
You can set any dpi you want afterwards, you just need to disable the resampling, which is enabled by default for most programs.
Dpi simply tells how many pixels are printed in a centimeter. 254 dpi means that 100px are 1cm.

>What is the resampling purpose
It's meant to keep the same image dimensions on paper, whenever you make an edit to the dpi.

>>7952826
No idea why 4chan flipped my image.

you're definitely improving, shame about the pedo stuff

File: 1756044736286363.png (276.0 KB)

>>7952840
A good tip is that if you don't make progression in 20 years, you are likely learning "incorrectly". Everyone's brain works differently to make the same connection, so there are other ways to do it that you should try. This is another reason a lot of artists have a shorter time period that they said they started drawing, since they mostly have been drawing since childhood but only started "seriously" within recent years.

Because they're taking their studies seriously then. I would recommend loomis's method like what you have on the bottom right as a starter point!

Additionally, make sure you are drawing for the sake of drawing.
>Just draw.
This tidbit of advice comes from the angle of familiarizing yourself with your drawing utensils and the things you struggle with.
>No matter how much I draw, I can't draw [insert thing] right.
This means you should be grinding that specific thing until you know every aspect of it.

I'm no expert but maybe this'll help!

File: 1760718483324354.png (38.6 KB)

>>7952846
Try focusing on the shapes of the negative space of the reference as well. A lot of your study here is kind of made up without looking at what you're referencing

>>7952867
Honest question, why is it bad to not 1:1 copy the reference?

>>7952868
I wouldn't say bad per se, but when you're at a beginner level, you don't exactly want to cheat yourself out of most of the ways to train your eye, yeah? If you can't copy 1:1 by eyeballing it, what else are you actually missing when doing other things? If anything it's to train your eye, I'd argue. You'll start to get why certain artists have certain attentions to detail when your eye isn't making stuff up.

Like how some artists are really good at drawing breasts, or feet, or pussy, or anus, etc. They're noticing things that beginners struggle with and are incorporating them into their art.

tl;dr
If you are already kind of clueless at drawing, why sell yourself short with shortcuts if you want to make it?

>>7952877
Have you tried drawing strictly what you like? I have to ask this because it's mostly what I do and it is also what was recommended to me by a friend. I feel like drawing whatever topic you enjoy makes the learning experience much more tolerable (although not painless). I'd also say try to draw for at least 2 hours a day if your job allows, and don't force yourself to draw 100% from imagination. Use references for whatever you aren't sure about.

Everyone learns differently so the most I can tell you is what's working for me.

Nice ref, pretty challenging! I know is fun to always render, even when we are not that good at it (even though if I do the eye squinting thing on your render it actually works quite well), but I still think that rendering is a beg trap that should be avoided if possible. You should draw again this figure 10 times, to reach a finesse in the shapes of it, specially the face. You are almost there,

Don't copy the heads, read what the guy says about the heads.
>600 hours. How much more?
Are you only drawing boxes and copying things? What about drawing a dog from reference? What about drawing a stick figure in a detailed background of boxes? What about putting the boxes in a specific location and setup that resembles a photo of a room? Just turn all the furniture into boxes.

I understand you're frustrated as fuck but your grinding didn't go to waste. If you're good at boxes, all you need to learn now is how to apply them.
Try copying this guy's stuff.

try to have more deliberate lines: decide when something should be a straight, a C curve or an S curve
varying and contraposing them makes figures much more interesting

I'm really struggling with what art style I want to copy or try to build my own art style off of. I have many different ones I like but I can't decide on which one. Should I just try each one and see what works?

Also, where's the line when I should stop trying to get every single little detail correct and just finish drawing something?

What do you mean, anon? That IS his work

File: 2026-05-29.jpg (195.3 KB)

>>7952840
Well, it's time to start reviewing what you're currently doing and make some changes. First of all, I would recommend copying from the Slayers manga. It's easier to focus on the important landmarks and relevant features that way.
Second, just copy a frontal view of the face. I think you're doing a good job with the width of the face, but this will allow you to focus more on symmetry and facial features.
Third, draw bigger and use the round brush at the smallest size possible. That way, you can build up thicker lines through multiple passes. I think this will make it easier for you to achieve a crisper and clearer result.
I see many good things in your work, but I think you need some guidance. consider joining a drawing or painting class.

but i have some serious problems with porn, when i draw it or animate it in 3d i just get to a point where i masturbate and drop it forever, i never end anything because of my stupid monkey brain, and when i want to draw something else i just dont know what do and i just brainlessly do studies like portrait paintings, values and drawing cubes in perspective, a year passed after i started drawing and i still dont know what to do, worst thing about all of this is that i always get to a point where i dont want to draw anymore and stop for months until i finally want to draw again for some weeks.

Why did you draw the torso realistically passable form wise but then distorted the pelvis and ass in such a disgusting manner? It literally makes no sense both gestureally or 3 dimensionally so I was curious why you do this

>>7953037
my reason was simple. i wanted to draw braphog anime waifus and will continue to practice until i can do that.

>>7953038
I don't really know per se why I started drawing and am continuing to draw. It more started out of boredom and experimentation.
I simply wish to draw things that can make a younger and current self stop and say " Ahhhh... now this is beautiful. " I think uncover such beauty for oneself requires to be able to fundamentally understand and grasp truth, so ergo I must study the basics of the world express said truth. Right now I'm still having trouble speaking , but I'm getting there...

I don't know, I guess that I just want to subvert my own expectations, spin the weird roulette and see what comes up. I genuinely feel like if I do a "faithful reproduction" of something that exists in the real world, it is a wasted opportunity of creating something weird and new, or unseen. And provoke some fun and interesting reaction hopefully. I don't want to waste time repeating a new reproduction of something that already exists, and that has been being generated a trillion times over through out history.
I don't have that weight of an ego forcing me to avoid mocking myself at all costs, or the mockery of others, I could die tomorrow and who the fuck cares if I had fun playing with the creation play-doe outside of the "acceptable agreed parameters". I want to push through the invisible wall of this virtual game and see what's in the quantum realm of form and imagination. I want to twist these gesture lines, and shapes and forms and see how they look all fucked up, I want to make those figs cry and scream and beg for mercy... and then twist them some more and see how they look... hee-hee... Do you have a request?

I tried to keep it normal with that scribble on picrel, but is hard. I naturally want to make her look weird and unreal. Sorry

Recommendations on courses, paid or free or whatever, for learning the actual act of digital painting?
I feel like my brushwork sucks, I'm very unsure about the workflow I should be doing, etc.

I really fucking love how almost all drawing books are like this
'draw a sphere and add eyes and now just do the fucking rest'
sure I can barely rotate a box in perspective but let me just jump right into combining shapes and making organic forms rotate in perspective with expressions on top

>>7953339
As a fellow slow-as-molasses drawer: set aside time to do quick sketches with time limits (say 5-10 minutes for a full head or body, if you can't even do 10 minutes then just force yourself until you can do it). Grind the quick sketches until you can do reasonable studies within the time limit. But when doing your original pieces just do whatever's comfortable and only move on if you're spending an inordinate amount of time on one drawing.

>>7953355
very nice, good job

>>7953222
Fill the image with a shading color and add lighter color onto it. That would be the easier way to shade things.

>>7953356
Thanks anon I appreciate it. After years of banging my head against the wall and accomplishing nothing I feel like I’m finally starting to get somewhere. I’m still worried that I’ll never truly get an intuitive understanding of form and proportion; drawing will never be as smooth for me as it is for the people with natural talent. But I’m a little more optimistic I can overcome my deficiencies with giga amounts of time and effort.

i lack structure, discipline and i'm also kinda retarded
is getting a course worth it, or it just a meme?

>>7953411
If you’re totally lost and unmotivated then there’s no one course that’ll “fix” you, no. Individual courses might teach you some useful tidbits about drawing some specific thing, but that’s it.

as a coursefag, I think it's all about finding the right teacher or resource that clicks for you
I personally found that Brent Eviston bores me to tears, and I'm not too fond of things like Drawabox since it's too easy to fall into a trap of just grinding fundies, but that's probably my fault
currently going through Proko and it's going well so far, though I'm not putting too much effort into the drawing from observation stuff since it's not a major focus for me
anyway, maybe try out some free stuff first if you're completely new. you can find all kinds of books on the internet archive, which aren't courses obviously but a lot of them have exercises similar to what you'd find in them, and they're structured to ramp up in complexity
also make sure you're drawing what you want on the side, so that you can apply what you're learning in your work
here are some other good books besides the ones in the OP (these are all cartoon focused btw), would recommend going through these and copying the drawings, drawing from memory, drawing them in different angles, trying different characters etc:
>Character Animation Crash Course
>Famous Artists Cartoon Course
>Advanced Animation by Preston Blair
