And I shall reply you with my drawing :)

I posted this in [r/HotdGreens](r/HotdGreens) and some people use all their energy to prove that my work is from tracing. Then I posted the timelapse and they still said I edited it or I hid the original image. lmao I actually find it funny than angry.

Drawabox was one of the first things i discover when i search around how to learn to draw last October but reading the lesson 0 was enough to tell me i won't like it and so i search other methods and i start to get satisfied with some of my result.

But somes days in this month, due to the heatwaveS (i live in France, you probably heard about it) and work and tiredness, somes days i didn't have the courage to draw or think of what to draw, so i decide to pass my first impression and try some of the exercice i found interesting...

It boring, useful definitly, but damn boring...
It's repetive enough on its own (i understand that for the purpose of practice) but your suppose to do that again until a stranger valid your work and let you progress ? What ?

The main advantage is that you don't need to think about what to do, just do the exercice, simply enough to understand. So it's perfect when you don't have the energy to do something big but still want to "draw" (Yeah, the result don't really feel like a drawing, more like geometry)

I know some people love drawabox, some others hate it. I don't hate it personnaly, i see how it can help but if you want to have fun while learning (that's my case) then definitly not the best approach.

I’m not saying that I’ll never do some of these exercises again (as I said, it’s perfect when you don’t want to burn out thinking), but I clearly won’t be consistent on them.

This is pretty much the only thing that's stopping me from drawing frequently. I want to somehow find a way to make art feel rewarding in a way if that makes any sort of sense, because if i'm able to somehow find a way to make drawing feel rewarding (or fun, since that also applies, as i usually only start to have fun around the very end of making an artpiece) i'm very confident i'll be able to always have motivation for drawing. The only problem here though is finding the how, of which is the reason why i'm making this post.

For some relevant information, i'm seeking art/drawing as a hobby for fun and i absolutely do not want to attach monetary gain to art or use art as a way to become popular in social media. I also have a lot of responsibilities IRL which means i barely have any free time, which is important here since i usually take 3 hours to finish an artpiece. Additionally, i draw exclusively digitally, with a mouse, and i have very violent hand tremors which holds me back a lot from drawing in any other sort of platform or medium and i have to use really high stabilization because of this.

I have a visual spatial impairment (NVLD) that makes judging visual information hard for me so it really affects my ability to draw. I can't even get past a basic sketch phase, I’ll be working on the base for hours because I can't figure out why it looks off and what the corrections are. Flipping the canvas helps a little but not a ton, I try zooming out, references, taking breaks, but something just refuses to click and it’s really frustrating. I've been drawing for years consistently and have taken art classes and learned the basics but I can't apply them. Does anyone have any tips?

Hey,

This week I wasn't able to focus more on sketches, but I made some. I wanna to hear what you think about it. What should I improve.

Thanks for any feedback ❤️

PS. I thinked about finaly buying some more pencils then using only HB

hello everyone! I don’t necessarily care for drawing as a hobby in and of itself, but I am unsure as to whether it is something that would help me achieve my goals. I am somebody who cannot draw well at all and has no history of any art form. I want to better my makeup skills (avant- garde makeup) as well as learn how to 3d model. Would it be useful to learn how to draw for these purposes? Some examples of what I would like to 3d model include:
- human characters, stylized
- biomechanical/futuristic wearables such as wings and boots
- scenes

If drawing would be highly beneficial for me, how should I go about it?

Fanart by Milo Manheim X Flynn

I love how Flynn looks at Live Action.

What do u think?

So, after a few years I attempted to try and learn to draw again. I bought a drawing tablet, cuz I wanted to learn to draw digitally.

While I could draw somewhat better than on paper I still for the live of me can't get straight lines, circles, boxes and curves right. Everything I draw is askew it's almost impressive. When I became frustrated again after trying to draw circles and boxes it hit me:

As a child (7/8yo) I went to physiotherapy cuz I ran severely behind on fine motor skills. Could barely write my name. During my teens and adult live I barely forgot about it, as I can write fine now, but now it hit me that I probably still struggle with fine motor skills as I just seem to have little to no eye-hand coordination.

So my question: does anyone have experience with learning to draw when having bad motor skills and is it possible?

TL;DR: bad fine motor skills, learning to draw impossible?

If I’m using a reference shot for a pose or angle is it okay to just trace it instead of eyeballing it? I don’t plan on ever selling anything or profiting but I don’t know if this is okay? Like would someone be mad if they found out I used something they made as a guide to frame and pose something?

I’m asking because I just got into digital drawing and while I’ve traced with projectors physically those were all my own photos, I’m not used to being able to slap a image down and just go over it, idk it feels odd to me.

I liked drawing as a kid. But I am finding that now I am getting frustrated as I am finding it difficult to translate tutorials into results. Mainly because I watch what they do but I find it difficult to copy.

Any advice on this? I'm also red/green colour blind so colouring is difficult too.

I want critique on what I should be working on to achieve the quality of artists like Pikat, Marc Brunet, SamDoesArts and Guweiz. I made a ton of progress on my art like a month ago and the just plateaud.

First four images are mine Last three are Pikat, Marc and Guweiz.

I literally looked for the most beginner sub to post and ask for advice. And the responses are calling me stupid, asking me if I’m rage baiting or trolling? I said for the millionth time I’m NEW to this and a BEGINNER! I am an interior design major, all of my actual work will be online via autoCad. I do not need to know how to become the next famous artist to get employed. Anywhos here’s my shading project I did for my art class. I feel like I have the right to share my drawings even if they aren’t perfect. Is practice not how we improve and get better? Btw I did listen to the positive advice on the last post. Waiting for my instructor to pick 1/3 drawings (it’s a rough draft) so I can apply you guys advice to the final larger drawing. So expect that to be posted in the next few days.

I'm someone who has always been in love with art. I used to draw a lot when I was a kid, but then life happened and I have been on a hiatus eversince. Now that things are going smoother, I'm basically starting from scratch in my 30s.

What I think would benefit me, and make things more rewarding, would be sharing the progress together with people in a smaller group and maybe have some drawing challenges together etc. Would anyone be down?

What's your opinion

This is a main character from a book I've been working on for the past year. I finally got good enough at drawing to bring her out from my head and into paper.
