>>3214045depressing how someone put so much work and effort into becoming a human photocopier
>>3214052Dude, the image to the left is the reference. He didn't go further than step two
>>3214052>making something look almost real>somehow badDoes ic just like to complain and insult everything?What makes you happy ic?
>>3214055Whats step two?
>>3214059spoken like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about
>>3214062Not an argument.
>>3214070nope, just the truth.If you want to copy an image pixel for pixel onto another sheet like some glorified game of minecraft then be my guest but dont fool yourself into thinking that it's anything but pleb tier.
>>3214073But can't it be good practice? Like with technique and perspective?
>>3214076not really, only if you're drawing from life.It can be helpful if you're an absolute beginner and can't distinguish between what you see and what you think you see yet but you should really draw from life whenever possible since cameras distort the image. It's fine to use photos for reference but copying them 1:1 won't teach you anything except for how to copy photos 1:1 and will just waste a ton of time you could be using to learn how to draw from your mind
>>3214045Why do people put their latest work before.It's before and after not after and before.
>>3214087Because they want their best work in the most prominent position which is the middle.
>>3214080if you are retarded and dont understand how to study from a photo of course it will be useless. Stop saying nonsense...
>>3214106Not him but I am a noob. Please tell me what you mean.
>>3214091Then just do Before - After - Reference you fucking retard.
>>3214118hey, I didn't do it and I think they way they do it is stupid toono need to call me a retard
>>3214106reading comprehension please
>see name of thread>ah this will be a good thread>open it>only image is by OP, the rest is 16 posts of 7 shitters arguing about inane nonsenseNever change /ic/ never change
>>3214131i knew it was a good thread when in the catalog it said 18 posts but only one image
>>3214136Well, you are wrong.
shit thread for a dead board filled with bad artists
>>3214144Why are you on a dead board anon?
>>3214109if you do a brainless copy just looking at lines and values you wont learn as much as if you question yourself all along the process...for ex you can learn countless things from this photo..analyze the planes of the face, terminator on the zygomatic bone.how to tackle some of the edges...how the bounce light affects the under of the chin, as well as the hair.interesting insertion of the sternocleidomastoid....etc...but thats kinda behind the point... the op is still struggling with basic copying skills....hes just training his eye at this point and he already improved a lot since august.
>>3214045I need some advice. I'm currently working on shlomo fanart to ultimately turn it into a wallpaper that depicts how money will never buy true happiness, even for a Jew.I have an issue with the outlines, it just doesn't blend in with the background. Also the colors. Just doesn't seem natural overall. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.
>>3214154So at his phase it is still good just to practice copying to train his eye?
>>3214155What a stupid project.
>>3214160What's your problem?
>>3214162>making art about jew memesMy problem is that you are making shitty art when you could be doing something good.
>>3214167And you're just sitting here on an improvement thread talking shit about other peoples' work all day? What if I like shlomo and want to practice with him? Sounds like I'm spending my time much more productively than you are.
>>3214170lol I love how someone who is making art with racist jew caricatures is so sensitive. Grow some thicker skin brah.
>>3214172Sensitive because I made a fair point? Okay then.
>>3214170True.>>3214172Also true.
>>3214045
>>3214180The tumblr thread is over there >>> somewhere.
>>3214180If I went from semi-ok anime drawings to fucking tumblr nose I'd fucking re-evaluate my lifei'd probably put down the pen forever knowing that I've become an uncreative brain dead fuck
>>3214182It can be reversed. I think.
>>3214183But it's like being a cocaine addict though>Yeah I'm so far in that rehab and rehabilitation will take me 10 years of painful and tortuous work>Or I can finish this life and self-destruct in 2 years feeling the highIt's hard to make it worth it ya know
>>3214180Is this what happens when your only art guidance is tumblr and reblogged color palettes?
>>3214180this depresses meall the potential wasted by the hugbox culture
>>3214154Is there a more detailed guide on how to do this? Keys to Drawing only really goes over sight/size and not studying the way you describe it.
>>3214159yeah... at this phase anything is good... tho he should still go in thinking about more then just trying to copy
>>3214192So as you become better and better the way you have to practice gets more complex? The old masters must have be shifting into other dimensions to improve their skills.
>>3214188>reblogged color palettesIs that why so many Tumblr artists seem to have similar coloring styles? Even if many of them aren't bad artists at all, I feel like using the same coloring styles does not "individualize" their art enough from the rest.
>>3214052>practicing technical abilities is badI mean... sure, whatever.
quick half-assed study improvement
>>3214155Try the draw thread instead.
>>3214273>let me half-ass everything so nobody can call it shit
>>32140452016 looks actually better2017 has lots of mistakes especially with tits
>>3214273are the before ones half assed too? how do you expect to improve like that?
>>3214292You can call it shit and I will agree with you>>3214323But I did improve?I don't half ass everything
...could be worse? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Once I get a tablet I can try for a fair comparison.
>>3214045Why did you remove her clothes?
>>3214529how
>>3214529Fake? I want to believe but it seems impossible.
>>3214373November is unfinished right?You gained atmosphere, perspective, appeal. Very nice.Keep at it :D
>>3214529The child drawing is made by the illustrators daughter, it's one of those "artists redraw their kids drawings" things
>>3214373You've done good
>>3214273I think that looks good.>>3214319nah
>>3214045it took you one year to switch brush?
holy shit this thread is a disaster
>>3214045>More than a year for thisIt's pretty sad.I hope it was done as a hobbie not pursued as a true goal.
>>3214045her cleavage is up to her sternum in your painting. learn to measure your subject.
>>3214592>>3214609Unfinished in the sense that I don't have the patience to go any further. Thanks for the compliments, though!
>>3214838post your progress for 1 year
>>3214838>>3214845Salty plebs insulting someone who draws way better than they ever will. Have fun being bad.
>>3214885>who draws way better than they ever will
>>3214888nice trips
>>3214180Very little improvement for four years. I hope this is only a hobby for you.
>>3214180Disguisting
>>3214045Currently working on a Acrylic painting, recently I feel like I'm not improving that much.Also never dropped so hard something like the drawing of Jan 2017 and the last paiting, I spent too much time in those 2 and the results were dissappointment. Rushed the last one (Which isn't hard to tell because it looks like shit) because I was very mad and didn't wanted to finish it but I had to since it was my art project for the School period.
>>3214996your faces look off, do you use references on the screen or in real life? find a local group that has models and draw from life. that might help with proportions
>>3215221lol
>>3215221learn how to use them lolyou're wasting your time just drawing boxes aimlessly bruh
>>3215221ok, now construct something with them.
>>3215193Yeah I know, sometimes (Most time) I dont use references, simply construct the face from imagination. Never have done an In real life study usually just use photos for them, but I'm working lately in them here are a most recent ones.I think the problem is mostly the Jaw line (Like in the right drawing), I do them too narrow triying to avoid made the face look too manly but instead end up with a Pseudo anime thing that doesn't look that good. Also the eyelashes and eyebrows are fucked up on the right pic.
>>3215221will make it
>>3215579ayy lmao
>>3215221so this is the power of /ic/
Started trying to play with lineart/cel shading a few months ago. Where I'm headed so far...
>>3216164Dude looks stoned af in the second pic.
>>3216180Yeah, I coulda made his pupils a bit smaller at least. The character is supposed to have down-turned eyes but the pupils just make him look blazed. Laziness desu.
enjoy the jorney.
>>3215221the absolute state of r/drawabox
>>3216191Looks like you enjoyed the journey a little too much...
>>3216195Maybe. I always trying to have fun with art, trying new things and having good times.
>>3216191Those some thick lines, bruh
>>3216150Wow
>>3215221Please tell me this is ironic.
>>3216191Still beginner level but the right pic is a lot more appealing >>3216228This real? Nice
>>3216193It looks interesting, Does that actually work?
>>3214529Tomasintokyo
My goal is to eventually follow through with a >post ur work comment and win an argument on /ic/
>>3216228Teach me. How do I get this good?

>>3217121this is the most recent thing he drew it speaks for itself
>>3217116talented people fml
>>3217116How can I possibly get this good?
>>3216361the rule is to include some shitty drawings
>>3217116>checks dA>no significant amount of improvementOkay, my sanity is still somewhat intact.
We're all gonna make it lads.
>>3217100I saw this guy's work on pixiv. Did he really improve this fast? Maybe if I was asian I wouldn't be a lazy piece of shit and make progress as fast as he does
>>3214180Everything just got fatter and browner. It's pretty sad, but if it satisfies you...
>>3214586>>3214590It's fake. The left one is from Thomas Romain's son, he then illustrates his son's idea in the right.The guy works with anime like Space Dandy, his youtube channel is pretty popular (I think).
im not gonna make it am i
>>3217527Nope.
>>3217448The improvement i see here is line variance or line thickness. The next thing I would suggest trying is to add more shadows and more levels of value with the lighting; show more individual strands of hair, bones, muscles and the complexity of the deformations in the cloth. It's a challenge as it adds more work to the piece but it's that extra step which really makes it look complete.
>>3217529dang.
>>3217527I think you've gotten to a good place, what you need to do is think to yourself as to what you've yet to study. Art is all about rendering objects and merging them into a composition. Study everything and all things and your art will improve bit by bit. If you've yet to do Anataomy studies, try that. Think about what you're not confident in creating and focus on that challenge. If you have a had time coming up with ideas on what to create, then try taking passages from books and various descriptive writings and render them visually.
>>3217527post full picture of choco doggo please
>>3217553you mean this?she a lynx>>3217542I think backgrounds, actual human skulls and masculine figures are for sure places i could use some practice. ty for the advice!
>>3217527DRAW LEWD OF BIRB
>>3217562Thanks, I really like her.
>>3214180I think you've found your style well and your understanding of proximity, how close objects are, is very good. Good use of shape and color as well, the forms really pop and i dig the poses.It's up to you how to improve from here. Work on some perspective and environments and then take these characters and place them in a world. Try vertical and horizontal canvases with alternately placed horizon lines.
>>3214373The lines are really great, though it's a tad messy but just those two doesnt give much to go off of. Try using less lines and use shading which will build up the dimensionality of each object.
>>3217527>gradually starts doing more furry art
>>3214180where's the improvement?
>>3217602Yeah, I gotta stop using my sketch lines as a crutch where shading would be more appropriate.
>>3214073Unlike the patrician masterpieces you are cranking out am i right ;)
>>3214888Its sad because its probably still true
>>3214180This is like one of those things where they ask someone with Alzheimers to do a series of paintings over the years. >>3217601You don't have to debase yourself for (you)'s like this. I recommend /v/ if you really need them.
>>3215221I too am from the cube dimension.

>>32140452015
>>3218018Like a month ago.
>>3218020How did you paint the crystals like that?
basically just drew for inktober this year
>>3218037It's mostly layer effects and gradients, then I applied an overlay with a lighter green for a bit of a glow like effect and did some hard brush here and there to give it hard edge feel.The painting in general is a bit rushed and I still feel like I've never done a single proper completed piece, but at least it's more complete than my usual sketches.
>>3218193Why does your art look better in 2016 or so era? Especially that head of a robot, it's constructed so well.Your new art is a lot more stylized and form doesn't seem as impressive.Still amazing though.
>>3217527You seem to be really using style as a crutch, from 2015 onwards all your characters have the same face shapes from the same angles with the same skinny necks. Try breaking away from that style, do something new, experiment. Maybe even study realism/realistic anatomy for a while
>>3218193Did you become a hipster in 2017?
>>3218193How much were you drawing on any given day?
lol i dont belong in this thread but few months of doodling i guess
>>3218193Somehow your constructive drawings of the Gurren Lagann mecha and oveall later 2015 and early 2016 seem to be a lot more interesting both form wise and composition wise.To be honest it just might be that I don't fully dig the way you stylize things, it's this very generic Gorillaz looking late 2000 street art character inspired stuff that I never liked.
>>3214996you struggle with noses and placement
>>3218193Can I ask why you're not drawing as much these days?
>>3215221MAXIMUMPOWER

>>3218543What time period because this is insane.
>>3218543>>3218604oh, 6 yearsok, didn't see that
>>3218543Have to say, you are really good for 19 years old if that is still your age. At what time did the biggest boost in your skill happen and what facilitated that?Was it a particular style of practice?
>>3218543>19 years old>tfw 22 and not even closeI don't care if a guy with 5 or 10 years more than me is also way more skilled than me but when it's a younger guy I get mad jealous
>>3218632it's literally about how many hours you've put in, teenager is smart enough to start proper practice and at the same time it's never late.It's just that he has been fucking practicing properly for SIX YEARS instead of fucking around like a tard.
>>3218632It's okay I'm 22 as well, we'll make it anon you just wait.
>>3218543i used to be jealous of these artists but nowadays i'm just glad for themlike it hurts a little because i never had the same passion as them at that age but hey they're doing their thing
>>3218674They were smart enough to use their time when they weren't doing shit, because most of your teenage years are spent into void.But there are artists that have managed to become great even in their thirties, you just have to do good practice, work on your weaknesses and know what is your goal.I'm>>3218020I've made progress that was doable in several months easily, at least half a year if I wasn't fucking around. But I had university shit and did not have the willpower to dedicate myself properly.I think the least we can do is admit our failures and at least plan a month or a year when we can fully dedicate ourselves to practice.
>>3217101I love how 4chan uses "meme" to avoid "challenge"Still, that's the same thing as a tumblr tag Disgusting
ill prob update this when its almost the end of the year.
>>3219278some of those look fine but most of them seem like a failed atempt to create a style
>>3218440>>3218276>better in 2016I stopped drawing regularly and doing studies. Most of the pre-2016 stuff are just studies which is why there is a noticeable difference to the more recent imagination stuff.>>3218284>become a hipsterWhat makes you say that? this is one of the harshest things /ic/ has thrown at me>>32182973-4 hrs 3-4 days a week for 3-4 yrs>>3218501>not drawing as muchWork changed a bit and became more fulfilling. I don’t need drawing to scratch that itch anymore
did i get better at birds?
>>3219278the most forced style i have ever seen, and its shit.
1/2
>>32193302/2
>>3219299what do you do, anon?
two self-portraits, one from 2015 and one from today
>>3219338Progress is nice, but how about you start lifting?
>>3219330>>3219332I love all of these from start to finish.
>>3219332You are pretty patrician tier Good job anon, hope you get good money from your art if that is what you do professionally I also like the general mood of your art, reminds me of some stuff I really like, like Morrowind
>>3219338The earlier portrait is so much more expressive. The right one looks like a photo run throughed a photoshop filter imo. By the looks of it the newer one is digital and the older one is traditional? You get a lot of free texture and incidental mark making while working traditional that is lost when you go digital, maybe you could land somewhere in the middle
>>3214059jus ignore it. this board is toxic. use it for references and laugh at the idiots who still post.
>>3214160I think it's a goofy idea but I support it
>>3219429one of the shittiest opinions i´ve ever readdismiss this like the plague anon, please dont listen to thisyour technique is amazing, dont renounce to it because some faggot feels intimidated by it
>>3214180actually you got worse and worse
>>3219337I used to be a code monkey but it was pretty unfulfilling. Now I manage code monkeys and spend all day making slides for execs which is surprisingly more exciting.
>>3219375i need to get that art book.
>>3219995I have all of TES concept art collected if you want.
>>3220507>6 pointHuh, so far i've only done 5. Gotta try that next.
>>3220191mega link?
>>3220507>that chicken scratchingRetry it again
Think I started drawing like May 2016, Stuff near the bottom is Nov 2017
>>3220579>https://mega.nz/#!fNkxUYrS!Us6E0UTKYa6MrCPYWUlMjs8zvyBcwhBOsSvWoDVB4EkThis should have art for Shivering Isles, Morrowind art book and other unreleased concept art, Skyrims concept art by Adam Adamowicz and Lederrer etc.
>>3219313I don't know but I really love this. Where can I see more?
>>3220715well i post all kinds of shiets herehttps://www.instagram.com/narkh.ink/and thanks, mate
>>3217100why the fuck is his bulge getting bigger
bargue and dedication paid off. now onto faces hands and feet
>>3220733Jesus christ anon, at least finish a draw
>>3220766i am working my way to get there. it is the next step
>>3220583Redline it, nerd
>>3220733I'm basically you in September. What specifically did you do to improve??
Current WIP: Started this in Oct 2016, gave up for obvious reasons, I mean look at it.Re-drew about a month ago, and just started coloring it in the last couple weeks (I work so fucking slow).Actually putting them side-by-side, I'm pretty happy with the progress, came farther than I realized. Still trash, but it's getting better.
>>3216361That's easy. Just call out nosebro on something, he tell you to post work, then you just post anything of yours that is past the lineart phase.
>>3221527nosebro is deadi killed him with my strawpolls and imitating him and memesmithing
>>3221597>thinking you're the one who killed nosebroLMAOsure, kid
>>3221342Well as mentioned i started drawing by doing bargue copies of his human blockout sketches. i posted a lot of these in the last few beg threads. i started out with an elaborate gridocunt and then would reduce that gridcount with every new copy i did. that helped me a lot in getting a graspe of the pencil and the materials and just sitting down and doing something to the best of my ability.then i also found a workflow for me that works really well when drawing the figure.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA9o111IH1VD8Kxz0YLn8_Acheck out the 10 part figure drawing series on that channel, it helped me a lot. i also completely changed the way i look at things. i draw from photos because of a lack of life drawing classes near me, but the problem with photos is that they are of course 2d. so the way i looked at them was also very 2dish. what i started to do is basically imagine the human in the photo as a 3d mannequin, with cylinders and boxes. so in my mind i start to rebuild the real perspective that happens in the photo.pic related, you can see my initial quick construction. if things work well in this stage the drawing will turn out alright almost always. and then i just put the 3d forms i see onto my construction. i basically look at the legs as cylinders for example, so you can see how i made some wrapping lines that made that leg go awayf from us as if we could see inside it from that perspective if it was actually see through.hope that helps
>>3221802as you can see though, i still need to really get a grasp of the head hand and feet tho. also that left arm (our right) is supposed to have her hand rest on her waiste, so it is foreshortened. it looks weird without having the hand blocked in. i really should have done that
>>3221619>>3221597>>3221527
>>3214060Crashing this plane.
>>3220766Why don't you finish a sente
>this threadSo everyone on /ic/ sucks? I'm going to try a reverse /ic/ approach: 80% final drawings, 20% studies.>>3219313Except you, birdbro, you're pretty cool.
>>3215221good lord
>>3215221>#1245What the hell man, did you literally draw a box every day for 3 years?
>>3216228I honestly can't tell if this is real or just another case of someone stealing other people's work. Giving the benefit of the doubt here, you're stuff became awesome.
>>3217433This upsets me and is painful to look at.
>>3215221gotta say, those are some fine looking boxes
>>3217527Style should come after the basics of anatomy, not before. Almost all of your faces are 3/4 profiles with the same outlines and expressions.
>>3222532hey, thanks! i just did offset print of one of those, with paint glowing in the UV light (whats the english word for that..) during todays classes! whatya think bout it?

Left is beginning of 2017, right is from last week. Going to try to practice a lot more next year.
>>3223758Fuck
>>3221619I literally started all the memes that killed him. And made the final strawpoll in the sticky discussion thread. And made it common to immitate him/claim legit posts weren't him. It was a very directed effort to get rid of him by me and it worked.
>>32171212011 looks better than 2015

>>3218193how come you draw so many peens
>>3220595that is some good progress, keep going anon!
No
I enjoy nature, human body and shape is the next milestone, also color, monochrome fag here.
>>3218355it's a start, good job anon
>>3217121>>3216361>>3218193alright FUCKERS im a newfag, have read sticky but i wanna know EXACTLY WHAT you studied from and HOW and also do i keep going with loomis or am i being memed
>>3219278what other anons said, style's not there yet... but getting gud. otherwise, for the frail line art, I suppose you know of taiyo matsumoto ?
>>3224170>so many peensI find them amusing>>3224886>read stickyI’m >>3218193 I never actually read the sticky... it was too long... Just draw what you want, if you see a cool drawing, study it. Studying loomis and fundies can be boring and may prevent you from getting your pen on paper. From my graph, I noticed that noticeable change is correlated to high drawing frequency and studying. Recent month long breaks and imagination drawing has caused stagnation.
>>3218193You're slowly heading into degeneracy. But cool style. There's a loli hentai manga artist who draws somewhat similarly, wondering if that's where you drew the inspiration.Anyway, less cocks and lolis, more 2016.
>>3224041This is the real crit I'm looking for. Thanks, anon.
>>32171212015 looks kinda like the jojo anime

>>3216361I remember you from before.DUde your art is the best
Hello, as someone who regularly browses /co/, i have not often seen the work of /ic/, thus i cannot tell what is often seen as good or bad on this particular board. Because of this, i do not know if this type of art style is acceptable in these parts, but recently i drew the phantasm in a bruce timm style, and would enjoy hearing what you guys think of it and what i can improve on. Thank you.
>>3225557Probably want to take it /beg/
>>3225065Oh yeah taiyo matsumoto is really good but personally not completely my thing im personally more into fine art. im not sure bout the style thing everyone talking bout cause i never think about style i just go what im feeling you know? but its interesting to hear other peoples thoughts
>>3224886fuck off back to /s4s/ knux
>>3225631Are you sure this is correct?
>>3225644Yeah, why?
>>3218543>19Please be larping. I genuinely believe I've never seen someone your age or younger who's better (feel free to prove me wrong /ic). I'm 25 and this is suicide fuel
>>3225648it's hard to believe you're 25 if someone younger than you being successful makes you suicidal
>>3225645Did you spend the same amount of time on both?The details/shading is much better in the earlier.Perspective in new is all kinds of fucked up like her body being in an eye-level view but her head being viewed from the bottom, her arm reaching in front of her body but her sword not moving into the background but still going behind her body.New's body is just bulky in general for no reason like her calves are asymmetrical and square.
>>3225657>Did you spend the same amount of time on both?Yeah, they are just sketches that I do for experiment new things, 2h max in each one.>The details/shading is much better in the earlier.I just changed the technique for something more clear, I just think that works better for this kind of body.The others things are just experimental bullshit that I like to do, try new kind of bodys and stuff like that, I see why you think thats worst because is so diferent but it's not like I abandoned the old style, I just learn a new one.>>3225524 This shit is mine too and it's the most normal thing that I do in a while, and this pic to, but you can see how they are fundamentally different, I like to change depend of what I'm trying to achieve..
>>3225648yeah i have but i dont want you to feel worse or anything just relax man keep doing what you love and what makes you happy
>>3225654I was exaggerating but yeah. Plenty of other things to make me actually suicidal though.>>3225673If you're actually him and not larping could you answer >>3218612
>>3222828>doesn't know legendary omensad times.his stuff exploded on DA when everyone was liking simple mass faving line-art flat colour dragons or always-the-same-genzo-man shading
>>3215221>I don't have a present for you, so I drew a bunch of boxes.This is why 4shit will always stay virgins.
>>3217433source
>>3223746>no trapsI'm /pol/ through and through but this is a dealbreaker m8.
>>3218543https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Aq0YGg6SU8&feature=youtu.beA video of her talking about how to improve. Also, in this new piece she took twelve hours.
>>3214059those kind of works are bad because they have no meaning whatsoever, they just express a level of ability instead of a message. A good work of art has meaning and ability infused together, this one is just a plain realistic woman.
>>3220733>>3221802Damn dude. Fucking amazing progress for that amount of time. Screencapped thanks; gonna check out that book and the youtube channel.If you pop back in, how many hours where you putting in? And how the fuck did your quality of line improve so much?..was it just from copying off the bargue book?
>>3219330>>3219332All of it is great but that last one is comfy as fuck anon. Where can i follow your art?
>>3226517i work fulltime and am addicted to streetfighter, but i draw at least an 1 1/2 hour every day. more if i can on weekends. the key is to take naps under the week so i don't feelt so fucking tired from work. and coffee and magnesium
>>3217121Whats the tumbler nose? I'm new and I dont want to fall for something stupid
>>3214273At least you're pretty on the outside.
>>3219269>I love how 4chan uses "meme" to avoid "challenge"It's more about wanting to call everything a meme because it's the cool and hip word to use. Misusing the word is also way more common outside of 4chan. I'd say it began with calling image macros memes and nowadays people call making just about anything "making a meme".
>>3226784Overly large/ugly and way too red noses making the characters look like trolls that have the flu.
>>3214180The fuck was the improvement here?
>>3228076Color theory.
Ive been shit doodling all my life, but only now started using digital seriously, do you think I have potential? What should I improve?
the greatest improvement is made in the years in which i have nothing scanned so I don't even know what it looked likealso keep in mind this is a "best of" because all the shit-tier off proportion mistakes and garbage chickenscratch was probably never scanned in the first place
>>32140452016-2017, when you subscribe for a local oil painting class
>>3228757LOL
>>3228533Nobody has fucking potentialGo to /beg/ and start grinding my guy
>>3216150Noticeable improvement for that amount of time, good job.You should really spend some time studying hair now.
>>3228757Is the left the girl from the GTA loading screen?
>>3226521www.naked-oats.tumblr.com
>>3230621looks like it to me.The thing about that is that if you just isolate the left arm or just the cloth the pieces are individually not that awful
>>3225121Interesting, and you weren't drawing every day?Nice progress. I was convinced you can only make that kind of progress by drawing 8+ hours a day every day.
>>3218193What pencil did you buy? Is there really any difference in pencils?
>>3217101HAHAHA i'm dying pls help[
>>3215221ten more years and you will draw the perfect box. I believe in you !
>>3219338pretty good. but think about edge variation more. and warm/cool relationships.
>>3221473I like the composition in both. Though the body trails on the left are more aesthetic, and the colors seems more tightly chosen, there is an improvement in the new one. Mainly anatomy and render. But your proportions are a bit off. For example the head of the male on the right is too big for his body, but not enough to look cartoony like the left one.
>tfw draw like peak ONE but want to be murata
