Update on my bizarre little project (HAR HAR HAR I AM FUNI). Did the lines of the Russian dude and his STANDO, also did the guy's colors. Thoughts?

An example on what you'd say on a terrible piece of art to give people an idea of what they may expect? I drew eye capsules. I love eye capsules.

underage at the vape shop posted:Where should I start with learning to draw? Going off what Franchescanado posted, I would highly recommend starting with Proko's free video library, as I think it's an excellent resource for what it costs. The most essential skill that you want to master - aside from basic pencil control - is the ability to properly visualize 3D forms on a 2D (paper) surface. What I mean by this is simply being able to draw and position 3D objects like cubes, cylinders, and cones on a piece of paper. This might seem tremendously mundane, but it is arguably the cornerstone to all successful drawing, regardless of the kind of art style you're aiming for. You should fill page after page after page with boxes, cylinders, and cones, because what you're training yourself to do with this repetition is to be able to intuit 3-dimensionality. Take a look at this drawing demo from Glenn Vilppu. Notice how he starts to suddenly fill in the volumes of the gestures he's drawn without much thought: part of this is knowledge of anatomy, but the larger part is that he's trained himself well enough to be able to "see" the 3D form in his mind's eye and understand how it's positioned. This all sounds really odd and mystical, but it's really merely a skill that you'll naturally acquire as you practice. The second most essential skill is understanding gesture: the way in which our eyes follow the "flow" of an object, and how to create an appealing flow from top to bottom. This one takes a while to master, because the concept is difficult to explain, and it's based far more on feeling than any scientific or mathematical approach. Proko goes more in-depth on it, as does Vilppu in the video I linked above. The best tip I can give for learning this is to stay loose and let your hand following what your eyes are seeing, rather than overthinking the gesture and coming out with something stiff and awkward after. The third most essential skill is understanding value (light and shadow). Once you understand value, you can give true 3-dimensional depth to just about any object, even if you couldn't normally define it with lines. Don't start learning color until you get the basics of value down, because color makes everything about ten times harder compared to a simple value exercise. Once you understand these things pretty down pat, everything else is simply knowledge. Drawing a human body becomes a matter of understanding its volumes so that you can visualize and draw them. Drawing a mountain becomes a matter of understanding its volumes so that you can visualize and draw them. Drawing anything past this point really is merely a matter of acquiring enough knowledge that you can draw it successfully. Don't be afraid to use reference, but do be afraid of merely copying the lines that you see, rather than visualizing the forms. Most of all, be patient with yourself: everything you draw at first will look bad, and you'll get frustrated with your inability to properly express the images in your head onto paper, but keep a constant schedule of practice and you will eventually succeed.

Wowporn posted:Yeah this  sirens boldy text warning of please do not post your work here if you suspect harsh criticism will cause you to curl up and fade away like a leaf in winterIn fact I'm thinking that the OP should consist mainly of various warnings and disclaimers in big bold letters. I also think it would be neat to have it open to all art media: drawings, design, literature, sculpture, etc. Feel free to criticise my idea, just workshoppin' ideas here

If such a thread were to exist I think having some clearly laid out, mod-enforced rules that would result in probations/bans for breaking them would be a good thing. Just take a look at the digital art thread for what happens otherwise. In other news I am insane and attempting Inktober this year while working more than full time and attempting to raise a 5-month-old baby into a functioning human being.  I'm ignoring the official prompts (and drawing digitally as well) to create some characters for a weird fantasy bluegrass/D&D themed world. I'm already a day behind so we're off to a great start.

Day two of inktober. R.I.P. Tom Petty.  Ballpoint and copics. FYI alchohol based markers will make ballpoint ink bleed if you don't wait long enough for it to dry. Woops.

What's this? UwU *bleh* (It's the cutest nosferatu) I actually really like that the markers have made the lines bleed, it makes for a nice smooth edge and takes away a lot of the harshness of the ballpoint. Jake Snake posted:
Doing fine for everything except the lower half of the chestpiece. I would reconsider the lower edge form completely, since currently it looks like there's a piece that should be jutting straight into the legplate that's coming out from under it, and as a result, the leg looks tacked-on. Other option would be to continue the shadow of the armour way further down the legplate to make a smooth transition from underneath to over. The other leg sorta looks like it doesn't wanna be here and is trying to escape into the clutter, you might get away with painting it completely in the shadow and leaving just a highlight to line the form.

Thank you! Just to clarify, is this the piece of the armor you're talking about?  Here's a quick rework based on your critique and someone else's, who PM'd me.  Made the legs a bit longer, changed the pose slightly, hid the one leg in shadow, and changed the shape of the armor. Better, I hope?

Already struggling to get Inktober ideas under the wire. No critiques needed. Right shoulder's hosed up, shading's lazy, and boots are a horror show. I do like how the hammer turned out and I think I found this year's Christmas card theme.

Some loose doodles  And a longer go at a portrait of a girl off a soft-core porn site, tried a kind of challenging facial expression, didn't quite get a likeness (she is scrunching her face and sticking her tongue out in the actual photo) but it was fun.
