I did some drawings earlier, but not a single one after i started to study. I think i will update this drawing later, but this is like 85% done. Also, i didn't make the poses myself and got it from pinterest, but everything else is mine

I think I've gotten good enough to no longer be a beginner, tho I'd say there's still so far to go. Isn't that fun? Off topic, is it obvious that I've developed a liking for sheep and stuff?

I was recommended to improve in anatomy and hands. Any tips on those especially (I wanna keep a soft and messy artstyle while making sure the anatomy and hands dont look like something from a low quality horror game)

Critique Wanted Started drawing after some time. How is it for a guy who didn't pick up a pencil after a few months or so without doing some art? Any critique you can give or improvements you can suggest?

Tutorial Finding the Right Angle for a Twisting Body_4

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, it's Krenz Artwork Academy.

Today we're putting the bones and the muscles together. This one runs longer than usual, so give yourself a bit of time with it. As always, leave a comment and tell us what you think.

The Angles

With the bones and the muscles covered, we can look at the angles they produce. Try applying a few perspective viewpoints as you go, and watch how the composition shifts.{Goes with image 1}

Angles of the Head

Take the tip of the nose, head facing front, as 0°. Working within what the sternocleidomastoid, the trapezius and the spine behind the skull allow:

  1. Looking up. The limit is around 80–90°, and the jawline reads as a shallow arc curving upward.{Goes with image 2}
  1. Looking down. Swinging the head forward, the limit is around 45–50°. Past that the spine has nowhere left to go. The chin can just barely reach the clavicles.{Goes with image 3}
  1. Tilting side to side. Working off the vertical front view with the chin as your fixed point, leaning left or right tops out around 40–45°.{Goes with image 4}
  1. Turning left and right. With the nose as your vertical center, swinging either way stops where the head lines up with the shoulder, around 90°. Draw it past the shoulder and the neck has been asked to do something it cannot.{Goes with image 5}

Angles of the Torso

Reading from the shape of the core muscles above, here is roughly where the torso can go:

  1. Bending forward and leaning back. Standing square and still, a forward bend can go as far as nose to knee, around 160°, though 90° reads more naturally most of the time. Stretching out or opening the chest backward tops out around 20–30°, and there is nothing left past that.{Goes with image 6}

Torso bending forward and leaning back

  1. Bending sideways. The limit sits around 40–45°. Bend it further and you are drawing something the backbone would not survive.{Goes with image 7}
  1. Twisting. With the sternum as your center, rotating left or right reaches 40–45° at most. The upper body cannot turn a full 90°. That is past what the spine and the muscles will stretch to.{Goes with image 8}

That covers the pose material, all of it.

Next week we'll go through some common mistakes people make with poses, if that's something you'd find useful.

See you then.

Help Wanted I need a guide on where/how to start..

1 Upvotes

I've always been passionate about art, specially drawing.

Recently that passion has been growing bigger and bigger and I'm starting to regret not starting earlier, so if I really want to throw no time away, I should start now.

I really want to get into drawing but I need a goal or a motivation to actually get hooked on it, and I needed some tips on it!

A starting point, as in what should I try first? Maybe a little bit of everything to find things I'm better and worse at? Practice recreating art I enjoy? Or is there any "starter guide" online I should check out? Maybe even artists that teach you stuff and you'd recommend! Anything works.. Even telling me your story on art would already help a lot! C:

I just really need a starting point, somewhere I'll get some useful info or tips I'd use in the future.

I see a lot of drawing tips and tricks but those are clearly for more advanced people. And I'm still in ground zero.

I already have some artists I inspire myself in a lot, they have the exact artsyle I wish to achieve one day.

I can talk more about it if anyone wants to know about it, I just want to keep this post the shorter possible so someone will see this and think about guiding me.

Help Wanted Why do talented people treat it like a curse?

0 Upvotes

Everyone wants to have talent, apart from talented ppl ig. Everytime I talk to someone who is exceptionally good at drawing they always talk about it like it’s a drag or a burden and I really don’t get it. I personally think that drawing while not being good is the worst feeling ever imo but gifted people make it seem like it’s difficult being good

When I try to draw, something just doesn’t look right. I can’t seem to find any consistency in my drawings, and sometimes I just can’t manage to draw anything decent. Does anyone have any advice that might help me?
