oh yeah and another thing-for your last perspective piece there you may have noticed how skewed and narrow your "buildings" are, it's important to note that one of your horizontal vanishing points in two or three point will often be well off the page itself. Definitely experiment with using an off-page landmark in your environment to aim at

I'm kind of trying to wrap my head around it. I think it's pretty readable for the most part; is it right? Considering the extent that we're seeing the top plane/shoulder girdle of the girl in front which looks to be more or less level with the mattress I'm not sure. In either case you don't appear to be too far off but might want to take a closer look there. Also you might want to engage the girl in the front more. Maybe have her looking and smiling at one of the other girls or at the viewer instead of having her staring off into space at nothing.

Your vanishing points are too close to one another, and that's making shapes that should be rectangles rectangles look more like trapezoids in perspective. You might want to do some still life stuff with square objects to see how their angles behave with perspective.

I think you could take more care with the silhouettes. Some of those poses could read more clearly without really changing their feel, mainly weapons and limbs that could be moved just a little way from the body or turned at a different angle.
I don't know any resources for pose design, but this video has some good examples of how to approach it more communicatively.

Character's right leg needs the most work. It looks like it is much shorter than the left one. For it to get that 'high' it either must be quite far back or bend at the knee. You drawing does not indicate either. If this would be due to perspective, right half of the body would be at least a little bit smaller than the right one. If this is due to how leg is bent, feet should be bent at the toes with heel off the imaginary ground.
As to design itself, it's not too bad but a bit plain. He looks like snake eyes from GI Joe in fur-lined coat.
>flat
One way to avoid that in my experience, is to start out with a figure and then put clothes on it. Make sure to remember about perspective and that your drawing is anatomically correct. Using reference helps a lot, especially if you do not have basics down yet. Other than that, you need to study fabrics a bit I struggle with them too, but that's something to worry about later. Perspective and general anatomy (figure construction, you do not need to worry about every minor muscle) should be your priorities.

I think the design is kind of cool but the drawing itself is lacking in a few ways, yeah.
Perspective: This piece isn't really expressing much by way of form in general and in some cases is actively working against it. The arms and sword being purposely turned so that they're parallel with the viewer being a strong example. Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a logical compromise when you don't have that sort of skill built up yet, but there's also the shoes/feet among other things. Keep practicing!
Anatomy:
As a rule the smaller the character's head is to the rest of the body (with the "Loomis default" being 4 heads for the upper body and 4 heads for the lower body-already somewhat exaggerated) the stronger or more "heroic" they'll appear as long as it's within the realm of believability (here's looking at you, Bayonetta/Games Workshop). Your character is about 5 heads tall with a big, thick head so he looks a little off-balanced.

I fucking hate being an artist.
I'm at the point where it's like you can never just "draw what you want", no, you constantly have to be trying this, trying that, you have to draw pelvic muscles, you have to do gesturing, you have to figure out lighting. Why are you drawing hot girls with big boobs? Don't you know you're supposed to be drawing a bunch of disembodied torsos and learning the exact position of abdominal and anterior muscles?
Being artistically inclined is a fucking constant existential nightmare, especially if you're someone with autism like me who learns really slowly.
…so anyways, uh, how's my pose guys. I'm trying to figure out how to make her look really tall since she's a large lady.

I like the belly fold.
I think her calves are too short and her feet too big. Generally making the limbs longer and shrinking the head, hands and feet proportionally will make characters look taller. Works like that in real life too, take it from a guy who's 6'7. I haven't really measured, but I'd say I'm approximately nine heads by proportion. Compare that to her who looks about eight heads to me, and she doesn't really come across as very much above average height.
The pose is a little off balance, like she's about to fall to her right. I would erase her lower legs, place the feet where you want them first, then draw the calves in between. Frankly both of them have issues and any change you make to either would still look off. Try drawing some perspective lines to help with placement.

The "belly fold" is just a construction line I forgot to fully erase. She's actually a muscular woman with hard abs.
And the reason the calves are short is because I was trying to do some foreshortening since this is a top-down perspective and I wanted to attempt to show her legs going way down to the ground, but I'm not sure how well it conveys that.

Here, I tried some more extreme perspective skewing to give you a sense of what I'm going for. I don't think it looks too bad but she is more squat than I'd like her to look because it is supposed to be a giantess pic and she's supposed to be miles tall, yes I know I'm a degenerate, shut up.
Her physique is supposed to be more in line with a really tall long-legged amazon, but I'm not sure how well I'm conveying that. She does seem to have a shorter physique than I'd like her to have.

So, is this better?
If not, how do I convey that she is really, REALLY big?

That's dum, just draw instead of imposing arbitrary rules on yourself you goof. If you can't draw fast enough that suggests perhaps you shouldn't bother to be doing that sort of thing (yet). Do complete figure studies allowing yourself five or even ten minutes and replace the gesture stuff with coordination exercises like this guy is doing >>15759
point-to-point lines, constrained ellipses etc. (a lot of handy suggestions are in the Scott Robertson "How to Draw" book) and careful studies. It's not fun but I owe doing that sort of thing to exhaustion myself for why my freehand line work is faster and stronger than it has any right to be for an artist of my otherwise mediocre level. There's nothing wrong with using a gesture session as a warmup to loosen up your head and hand-but if you're not giving yourself enough time to get something reasonably complete out you might as well not be doing anything at all, redart! Give yourself enough time.

One thing I've found very useful is to either zoom out or step back a good distance when working on something. It helps keep you on track, focusing on the big forms, big impression, overall proportions and gesture by keeping it all in-view at the same time. Then when you want to do details, by painting them from a distance or zoomed out, you always make sure you draw them in relation to the whole pic, unlike zooming in where you easily loose track of the overall impression. You find a lot of older paintings done this way, where the artist steps back between each brushstroke to view the pic and subject as a whole at the same time.
Pic related, a sketch Imade zoomed out to the point where I could cover the image with my hand on the screen.

I keep hearing Anons recommending deliberate practice.
But what EXACTLY do you do to practice that way? What's your practice routine, what exercises do you do and how do you check yourself to see if you're getting any better?
Or is it just another parroted advice that nobody here actually follows?

>what exercises do you do
There are examples of deliberate practice in all of the practice threads.
Practice can range from spatial observation exercises such as paying special attention to negative/positive shapes, plumb lines etc. when recreating an observed image, hand-eye coordination exercises like drawing point to point straight lines or symmetrical freehand ellipses, color/values studies where you take note of hue, saturation, value as well as hard and soft edges while recreating an observed image or perspective exercises where you investigate how to interpret a primitive shape's appearance as it recedes or expands into space.
>how do you check yourself to see if you're getting any better?
By comparing newer work to older work over long stretches of time.
>Or is it just another parroted advice that nobody here actually follows?
You're posting in one practice thread among many with hundreds of posts therein, what the hell do you think? If you believe you can improve without doing any of this stuff, then by all means just start making your masterpieces now and stop procratinating.
Realistically the idea of practice isn't controversial. However painters, animators, comic artists and all other visual artists have different means by which they're liable to achieve their specific goals through it.

If you're at a level you're comfortable with or are just plain talented perhaps from years of "practice" through the enjoyable creation of actual work there's nothing wrong with that approach either-and in many ways can be superior for the hobbyist than those that take up the trade later in life and burn out practicing. As long as you don't end up like mr. Culexus or that guy that draws pokemon characters at the same middle school level for the past 20 years you have nothing to be ashamed of or insecure about honestly.

I'm loving your diligence, but I question how much you're getting out of drawing cubes outside any context. I would use them to construct objects, or develop them into more complex forms with bevels and cutouts, maybe fuse multiple forms together or have them interact with each other.
If you're following some particular practice regime it's probably fine, but don't get too comfortable drawing simple things. That's how you stagnate.

Good observation, but (sorry for assuming) try to describe what is physically happening to the fabric rather than making a 1-1 copy. What forces are acting on it, and how is it responding to them?
There's some stuff on drapery in Bridgman's guide to drawing p.318 that everyone seems to be referencing. Alternatively this guy made a pretty good breakdown of it.

I feel like a huge gay retard asking this but when someone refers to a "Head" of measurement, do they mean the ENTIRE HEAD (including hair) or the SKULL, because whenever i try to recreate something from loomis i'm never quite sure what is meant, on the image i drew a rough outline of both the skull and the "Head". If this is explained in the book at some point and I just missed it I guess i'm retarded but my semantic autism is giving me issues on what is meant

First the bad: her legs look comically short and somewhat malformed with the one being roughly half the thickness of the other. Having her hat go off the like Doug Dimmadome from Fairly Oddparents seems like a dubious composition choice. Her lower lip is jutting out like the crocodile from All Dogs Go to Heaven.
You did an okay job with the upper body, it seems to be mostly intact; keep in mind the relative length of the elbow in the "canon", in your image her upper arm is so long it extends down to her crotch (which would itself be near where her knees would otherwise be), when normally that's about where the hands begin. Use a reference and correct the lower half of her body and you'll be well on your way. Keep workin'

I recently did a study of the bones of the hand. I'm new at this, so I'm not sure if I'm studying effectively. Funnily enough, since I did this drawing, I've been paying more attention to the metacarpal bones when I draw a hand, so I guess at least I learned something from this.
Now I'll try to do the same with the muscles of the hand.

I started drawing again and I haven't drawn much in many years.
My drawings never looked exactly right and so I decided to start from the very beginning, by drawing skeletons. After a few sketches, I started looking for some photographs to draw from because the skull did not match what I was taught. My high school teacher taught us that heads are always a circle and that eyes are always in the middle. What I had found was that the upper skull is like a circle that intersects the jaw bone circle, with the middle of the head being the cheek bone. While I would always sketch, fix, erase, sketch some more, and make everything fit, I didn't put much thought into this since I don't draw often. Now it just really dawned on me that the earliest art teachers I had taught me wrong and this carried over through time. There was so much from high school I had to unlearn, and now I find that even my art teachers gave me bad information. I just always assumed that these "rules and laws" of art were accurate because she was an art teacher. My biggest mistake was not practicing from photographs.
For accurate proportions, the skeleton in the middle was traced from my computer monitor, and then I was doodling around it as I thought about the structure itself. The side of the head drawing was based off a random picture.

I'm glad you're back on the drawing train, but skeletons are not the beginning unfortunately. The beginning is understanding and being able to accurately recreate visual spatial relationships through mental tools like plumb lines, the concepts of negative/positive space, trapped shapes and so on. From there it's linear perspective (simple shape primitives-usually boxes to start-drawn with the aid of a perspective grid) which helps with the concept of "construction" and you then apply to other subjects. Skeletal and muscular anatomy, come a little later on.
Don't get me wrong, you're doing a good job here through these observations of yours and you are-if not deliberately-learning things related to those subjects I've mentioned earlier simply through your drawing attempts. Any flat drawing you do, intentionally or not, you are intuitively using plumb lines and attempting to observe and record spatial relationships, the thing is you can learn these concepts and make better use of them faster when you know what they're called and what to look for.
Keep it up!

Not bad; the hand seems slightly disembodied somehow. Try putting your hand in that position with your wrist at hairline-level or so in the mirror and see if you notice any interesting discrepancies. When I do it, my shoulder has to be raised a bit and my elbow is just below my jaw and there are a few other things.
I think if I could make one specific observation though, the hand is pretty big-normally your palm to your fingertips relative to the skull extends from the bottom of the jaw to a little over the brow line with an average sized hand. In this picture she could grip her own head like Kareem Abdul Jabar grips a B-ball in his mighty phalanges

I intended that hand to be hers from the start, but later decided to make it the viewers after I realized the proprtions were off and I didn't want to redraw it. I did alter the drawing after, lightening the eyes and lips, but it's not worth reposting. Thanks for the feed back. Wish more were drawing.

Significant improvement in both the image and the post number
>Wish more were drawing.
I think current events have made us collectively even more dead inside than usual. I'm planning on getting back into it shortly. A lot of us have been drawing in the Drawpile at the end of the week-if you have a tablet and you want to goof around with us it'd definitely be something you may want to consider

Finally stopped procrastinating and put effort into something. Used a random 4 color palette to practice blending. But at this point I’m just smearing mud around so I gave up. Can’t wait for this goddamned virus to fuck off already so I can go back to painting nature stuff with all of my grandma friends.

A fine attempt but yeah it's definitely one of those things you need to do a lot. There are a lot of techniques and tools to learn. High level furry artists are, as one might expect, usually quite good at "indicating" fur in such a way where each individual strand isn't recorded but is somehow aptly implied-might be something to look into. Your drawing is okay but his legs are slightly too long and the (visual) elevation of his rear legs is reversed with the "front rear" foot being a little above its counterpart.

Trying again with a tibetan sand fox, not finished yet. I feel like i’ve fucked up the head somehow, what do you guys think.

Apparently the trick to drawing fur is to draw a solid dark under layer and paint brighter clumps on top.

I like what you did in the mid section of the fox. That style reminds me of ancient cave paintings. I understand you are trying to achieve something else though.

One of your stronger works thus far. The blending is quite nice. It appears her right shoulder and trapezius area is perhaps a bit too long but I could be wrong, she is pulling her left shoulder closer to her center mass after all.

Well, I'm back with more of what could charitably be called "artwork", this time of an MMA fighter, and with COLORS.
In full honesty this most probably looks worse than from several months ago. I've been distracted and unmotivated not going to lie. All I can do it keep at it.

We all start somewhere.
You need to practice basic spatial relationships-the basics of the basics. I'll introduce you to an exercise I have a lot of faith in.
Get yourself two pieces of paper, on one piece make about 20-30 "dots" completely randomly on it-don't consciously think about their position at all, just make little marks like you're filling out a multiple choice test-and on the other I want you to try and recreate the position of those dots to the best of your ability. Observe the dots you'd made on the first piece of paper, try and gauge their distance from one another and put a mark down where you think it should be.
Important: This is something I failed to do, but actually trace a few of them along the edges (I'd say no more than five) so you can start your new piece of paper with a couple of 100% accurate marks for context.
When you're done, put the pieces of paper over one another and hold them up to an overhead light to check your accuracy! It will probably not be great at first, just keep trying until you can get them pretty consistent!
Why: Every drawing or painting whether from observation or imagination has tons of spatial relationships that need to be perceived and recorded accurately to get an appealing result. This is easily the simplest exercise I know of to quickly train your eye to be able to see these things with some degree of clarity when you're first starting to learn. Do it a bunch!

I don't normally do this, but this one was bugging me. I had to check how off I was. Eyes were spot on and I think it shows. Unfortunately small misses really do make a huge difference.

I thank you for the feed back. Her right arm and shoulder are a case of me running out of paper and not being able to render the arm in the reference properly.
Her huge ear however, after checking the reference, is all my fault lol, kicking myself for not catching that.
measure twice and lightly draw once, then measure again

The lady is stylized but how should I render her? I can make studies on fundies but for some reason, when I try to apply the knowledge, I hit on the stone wall. I tried looking for references on instagram but none of the photo in her pose looks photogenic with nice balance of light and colours to imitate.

I am not sure what program you are using. You could download GIMP for free.
Here is an example of how I play with light sources. Take your image and darken it. Then use something like a Burn/Dodge tool and play around with where you think the light would hit depending on where you want your light source to be. Also draw simple figures. A small (4inch) featureless figure can go a long way.
Keep drawing :)
