I have a wacom 😛

Lmao

roll it up and shove it up your dog

Lmfao

Holy shit its 2 am

sorry, I have tourettes

Bai nigguh

goodbye bro

I end up using paper to outline what I'm going to draw, because wacom accuracy is a pain. Then I scan it in and shade/colour it.

> not using vector software for your lineart

why even bother, man

The lineart dissapears entirely in my end results.

So scanned in pencil/paper paper works fine.

why not use what real pro's use?

And whats that?

Maybe it's just me but I would recommend you focus a little more on pencil art first so you get the hand of it and then move to digital

That's just me tho if you can handle both then that's great

Sarai is right

focus on one thing

the kill God

Yeah, I certainly need to learn about this whole different kinds of pencils thing.

Would probably benefit things like this too

It looks like you apply symetrical shading to both sides of the line

thats not how shadows work my dude

Yeah, I'd literally just draw a line and smudge it, because pencil shading breaks my brain a bit. In some cases I know a person can use an eraser to simulate lighter sources, but my erasers are rather large,

if it does, dont do it

what book are you even following??

Sorry for criticising so much, but I see a lot of really bad habbits in your learning curve

Pro tip: cut off a small portion of your eraser

That way you can easily erase small things

Pro tip: stop killing trees for your doodles and use your god damn wacom

I just look at references, and then draw from them. On days where I can dedicate six or more hours I use the wacom tablet for further shading. On days where I have 1 - 2 hours I just end up using a pencil for the whole thing.

Ok Seb, you have to stop

because you're doing it wrong

First you have to train "an artist eye" which means you must learn to see and accurately replicate feature lines, curves, angles and proportions

Give all of your possible time to draw and perfect it

a very good way of doing that is to pring some picture, hang it upside down and draw from reference

Thats what I'm doing XD

that way your eyes will not have a lot of familiar forms to recognize

I draw from reference for every single drawing I do.

thus you will not try to draw simplified models and just focus on the lines

Listen to el jefe's wisdom

because in the last sketch you sent the proportions and the relative position is all over the place

it shoulds take more than 1-2 weeks to fix most of it

also dont do shading on portraits

instead draw spheres, boxes and other primitives on a plane with a light source, thats how every art school does it

our brain is bretty good at estimating how primitives are shaded so it will be easy for you to teach your hands

you can make a quick replica in blender for reference at first

Well shit, I thought I had finally curbed symbol drawing....

I cant draw fow shit anymore because I didnt do it for 6+ years

and even back then I was a starter

but yeah, shading is an extremely broad and complicated topic

start with primitives

then move on to draiwng fruits or some shit

and keep us updated

avoid smudging as much as possible, it always looks like shit

even if you do it with another peice of paper

Pretty much where I am shading wise on the wacom.

you like them thicc huh

The reference was thicc.

you chose that reference

Yeah, she had a ton of dedicated reference images for artists.

do this

and this

then this

trust me, it will improve your skills significantly

Alrighty. I'll take a go at it for tomorrows drawing stream.

yay for reason

I need to get better at paper shading as it is 😄

doesnt matter what you do it on

your brain doesnt have shaders installed yet

On the wacom, I just paint darkness where I see darkness, and light colours where I see light colours, and then blend. On paper I gotta take into account that all the pencil can draw is more and more darkness.

And take advantage of the fact that the paper has the lightest possible colour everywhere.

use separate layers

1. Lineart
2. Additional detail
3. Shading details
4. Shading
5. Coloring layer group

On the wacom I'm always using paint brushes on seperate layers.

I dont use the wacom tablet for drawing lineart or sketches however. The innacuracy of the smooth surface increases the time it takes me to finish the initial lineart.

And depending on the circumstances, I'm not at home near my computer.

I did some redraws of old art

nice, i love the last one

yeah its my favorite

cause i love how i drew the face

yeaa

did u draw your pfp??

isnt it obvious_

it says her name

if it was I wouldnt be asking

right

okk i didnt draw my profile picture

not everyone draws their own pfp

i got mine drawn by a professional
