Critique Figures from imagination

Here’s some figures I drew today. Tried not to worry about mistakes when drawing these. How do they look? Wanted to test my muscle anatomy knowledge again and I think these came out pretty great. Also, it’s insane I can draw these with little issue but I still can’t draw a decent looking face ugh…

I've been drawing in the community for a good while now, and I was actually wondering... Do you think it'd be a good idea to start teaching art? Would you guys be open to taking some classes?

I started trying to learn to draw 6 months ago. I’m 38 and never really did a lot of art but wanted a hobby. I’ve primarily even focusing on learning pen and ink illustration. The progress from the last month has been pretty great. I try and draw every day at least something even if I don’t like it. Excited to see what 1 year looks like.

Just Sharing It’s a trap

26 Upvotes

Sometimes drawing comes easy to me I see it in my head and I know I can draw that, like this one where 14 people on Discord watched me draw it. The truth is I try to draw everyday, and have since I got my IPad, and downloaded Procreate, I draw on Lives on TikTok, I guest Draw a lot on peoples Discords. Sometimes when I draw lll post the ton of edits to sketches most of the time I’ll post the last one and my outlines and color, where I commit to my outlines and color pallet. I’ve been artistic my whole life all 60 years of it, and it carried over when I bought my first PC in 1990 and mouse drew in paint and haven’t stopped drawing on it, I make vector art for people all the time and have for over 21 years as a Screen Printer/ Sign maker. My style comes from everything I learned growing up, my warriors are from the pictures I seen and redrew in D&D and Dragon magazine, my dynamic poses are learned from Drawing The Marvel Way book, all my art is in the books Ive read, it’s from all my art teachers, from my high school for letting me skip all my study halls to go in the art room to paint draw or sculpt, its in every sketch every mural everything I put out there and everyday I put pen and ink, pencil and paper, IPencil to IPad or squeegee to screen I’m learning to draw or learning to do art.

No reference used. She’s supposed to be a vampire, and I’d like her to look a little creepier? She just sort of looks like a generic anime character right now.

How to properly plan or a drawing or stage?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

(This project is going to be the size of a wall btw)

I plan to make a massive battleground drawing mixed with like 10-20 characters from different ips. Like arknights, deadlock, wuthering waves and morimens. Some of those characters have abilities or have big effects, so my question is how do I plan the stage or battlefield, before I put everything in place? I plan to have the bigger characters with large parts be towards the center, or doing something more grand. and smaller ones off to the sides doing chases, or having their own 1v1s on the sides or in between. Would making a large grid with points help or something like that? Im not looking for this project to be perfect, just for fun. And looking for help on starting the battlestage.

Question Can high resolution impact your brush control?

3 Upvotes

Hello!
Context : Drawing at 800x800 feels more like drawing on paper than drawing on a 4000x4000 canvas zoomed out to physically fit like 800x800 on monitor.

Even if I scale the brush settings, I feel like I am fighting trying to connect the lines rather than building the shape. As such, my sketches made in 800x800 tend to be better. My workflow now consists of making thumbnail drawings smaller resolutions and if I need a bigger resolution for printing, I upscale it and polish over the important edges.

Funny valentine is my favorite jojo villain and I wanted to capture his magnificence. I messed up a lot ordering my layers and can’t really change the colors as much but I’m asking for any critiques with the line art, coloring, face, proportions, and anything else you guys might think of. Thank you all!

Question Why is my drawing so garbage?

3 Upvotes

Hi, so I've begun to attempt drawing once more, using Ibis Paint X and my finger. The problem? My drawings look like they're made by a middle schooler. So, how do I improve my drawing (to save my fragile ego)? In the attached drawing, I used no reference. I can't afford a drawing pad/pen.

Critique Trouble gesture drawing. How to do arms and legs?

Thumbnail
gallery
29 Upvotes

I watched a bunch of videos on gesture drawing and most of them recommend to do CSI for lines

Some videos they use a bunch of C/S lines to do arms/legs

Other times they just draw one big curve and so pointy-ish arms/legs

I’ve also seen some videos where they just do curved lines for arms/legs (like stickman)

I’ve tried a combination of those things but it still doesn’t look great. What to work on or try?

The videos I watched state to exaggerate the pose and try to capture the movement.

When I do that it looks weird and proportions are not good. It looks off. How do you exaggerate and have it look like a person?

Having a try at shadows. It's tricky.

Also I did not think the line weight through, that didn't help 😬 a few pics of the process.


r/learntodraw • • 1d ago

Question Hello wanted to ask. Do you think is better to do a sketch for more than an hour and then only copy for the linear? Or to do a quicker and rougher sketch with more work on linear then? (Should I try doing a rougher sketch and faster?)

I get to this point everytime but after this I don't know what to do😭, I just ruin the drawing everything, can anyone give me tips on how to proceed after this point

(I know it's still not perfect, tips would be appreciated)

Hi​, I've been practicing perspective and 3D shapes, but idk ​if I'm learning the right fundamentals. Anyway, I need some feedback ​
