No.4124 [View All]
Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make someone proud.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, there is a Question Thread for that.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS LONGEST SIDE:
#1) Screenshot the image and post that instead (I recommend ShareX)
#2) Change camera capture settings to something smaller
#3) Send to computer and resize in MSPaint

There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit
Also, read our own sticky >>889 and see the /loomis/ resource hub located at: http://www.8ch.net/loomis/hub.html
>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

There, I fixed it! copied nearly verbatim from /ic/, stuff to study coming up in the next post:

I'm old as shit and despite only starting a few years ago I've greatly improved (though I'm still awful, mind you). Most people don't really have the maturity to practice drawing or painting effectively until their mid teens anyway-try starting in your late 20s and come at a nigga about /late/ fam smh tbh

It will become obvious in your work that you don't have a traditional art background at some point. You'll hit a plateau that you just can't explain or overcome.

Some Krita documentation I looked up today, want to document.
Grids and Guides
https://docs.krita.org/Grids_and_Guides
This docker controls the look and the visibility of both the Grid and the Guides decorations. It also features a checkbox to quickly toggle snapping on or off.
Mirror Tools
https://docs.krita.org/Mirror_Tools
Horizontal Mirror Tool - Mirror the results along the horizontal axis.
Bezier Curve Tool
https://docs.krita.org/Bezier_Curve_Tool
You can draw curves by using this tool. Click the left mouse button to indicate the starting point of the curve, then click again for consecutive control points of the curve.
Krita will show a blue line with two handles when you add a control point. You can drag these handles to change the direction of the curve in that point.
Snapping
https://docs.krita.org/Snapping
Snapping:
In Krita 3.0, we now have functionality for Grids and Guides, but of course, this functionality is by itself not that interesting without snapping.
Snapping is the ability to have Krita automatically align a selection or shape to the grids and guides, document center and document edges. For Vector layers, this goes even a step further, and we can let you snap to bounding boxes, intersections, extrapolated lines and more.
All of these can be toggled using the snap pop-up menu which is assigned to Shift+S.

No, 5096 and 5098 are "side by sides" and 5108 is just a normal reference piece. 5096, it's pretty obvious in the long toe of her right foot (2nd toe, near the top of the page) that it's not a trace. Same with the fourth toe on 5098, very obviously not a trace. 5108, the big toe of her left foot is a big give away that it is not a trace.

Yes. Draw, draw, draw. I mean, to get the most out of it, make sure to critique your own artwork (in a positive way, don't beat yourself up over mistakes, learn from them instead). But even just drawing drawing drawing will lead to gains.

There are people who can draw something like this in under half an hour. That's my end goal.
Now, unfortunately for me, I was an idiot who learned how to write instead of how to draw. Writing is worthless, but that's a subject for another day. I haven't drawn anything better than a stick figure in about 20 years.
I'd ask where to begin but I know I'll be pointed at Loomis. I've done the Fun With a Pencil book and had to drop it because I couldn't follow the first rule of having fun with it.
I'm not even particularly interested in being able to draw things quickly. Just being able to bust out a cute, if mediocre on closer inspection, anime girl within a few hours would make me the happiest person in the world.

Thanks, I'm being lazy. #26 took 2+ hours, which I simply do not have in my life right now. I totally hear what you're saying, the overall contrast is low and I'm missing key details in places, but it simply comes down to how much time I can put into each piece, how long I have to render it out.
I'm reviewing my process and trying to find areas to speed it up. My underdrawings take forever, and I realized I'm trying to lay down a shape, then check for it's x,y location using reference/plumb lines, etc. Then I have to go back and move/fix that shape to fit the correct x,y location. So this time (#27) I'm trying to lay down key points first, then try to get the basic shape/form in, and hopefully cut down the amount of erasing/redrawing that goes on for the preliminary stuff. Once I've got a good underdrawing in place, the line work seems to go much better, and I can de-focus/zone out with some tunes and the trust that the proportions are more or less OK.

I really should draw more often. I tried doing this exercise multiple times but fucked up and gave up, over and over, until I finally decided to finish it today.
Are any of you faggots inspired by anyone not art related? Personally, I was listening to buckethead and realized how he must've practiced a lot to get as good as he is at the guitar, and probably still is trying to get better to this day.

yea maybe. but how do you progress by copying stylized pictures all day. That's like me trying to learn by copying 90's cartoon network shows. you just get a crappy version of what ever ideas they had.
