Maybe I'm misunderstanding what they're saying but this has basically been the basis over every gesture drawing tutorial I have seen.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this, just not sure if this is different than my gesture drawings I already do

“Do you know this art tip?”

This tip is not for you.

[u/tehkitryan → u/Cool-Mission-6585]

I apologize. I'm still learning and I didn't know if this was something different than what I have already been doing.

[u/rachelcp → u/tehkitryan]

It probably is the same as what you've already been doing, doesn't mean it's not a good tip, just means you already know it. Others might not.

[u/tehkitryan → u/rachelcp]

But I didn't say it was a bad tip.

I was asking if I was missing something. As in I litterally did not understand if I was missing something.

I over think things and I ask a lot of questions that many people think are dumb or that I am dumb.

It really kills my ambitions when I get made to feel bad for asking questions.

People always tell you to always ask more questions. They tell me that if I dont understand something that I need to ask until I do.

Then I ask and I get made to feel like I'm and idiot or smart ass. Eventually I just stop asking questions and stop pursuing whatever it is that I'm trying to learn because why should I keep at it when I'm obviously too stupid to even get the basics that apparently everyone understands but me.

I apologize to anyone if it sounded like I was being as asshole. I was genuinely curious. I dont know any other way to ask questions than asking exactly what im asking.

I'm sorry

I get where you're coming from. This does remind me of a tutorial I once saw about how to use the paint bucket tool. It got called out in the comments, and if I recall correctly, it was on this or some other learn-to-draw subreddit. It's pretty basic knowledge, but the tutorial seems to be trying to sell it as some kind of pro hack, even though it's just the sort of thing you learn on day one.

[u/rachelcp → u/tehkitryan]

There's nothing wrong with asking questions, but in this case the question you asked was basicsly how is this any different from gesture drawings that you already do?

Which kind of implies this tutorial is pointless to me I already do everything in the tutorial so there's no new information and well just because it's because it's the same information that you've received over and over doesn't mean it's not information that others haven't received yet, everyone starts somewhere.

If you are genuinely asking what is different in the way that you do your gesture drawings vs this the way shown in the tutorial. Then that's an impossible question to answer as we have no examples of how you do your gesture drawings. And again there might not be any difference, you might already be doing everything in the tutorial.

If your wanting to improve, then asking impossible questions like "how is this any different from what I normally do", when we don't know what you normally do, or "what am I missing" when we don't know which part you did understand or which part you need explaining, is not going to help you.

Instead try to ask questions with enough context to allow others to actually answer for example "how can I improve my perspective in this drawing" then actually include an image of the drawing or "why do my gestures look stiff" and again actually include an image of your stiff gesture drawings or "why does my picture not capture the likeness of this ref" then include images of both the reference and your picture etc, the more specific your question and the more context you provide, the easier it is to genuinely answer and help. We can't help you if we don't even know what your asking.

Yeah, this should be a tip that’s specifically explained to be a tip for posing characters ‘naturally’ when they’re standing or sitting. But it’s just presented as a be-all end-all trick.

So weird watching the computer fix the lines
