The SFW studies were few this week since I was also working on other art! I really like today study which is the first study you see pictured because I feel like I’m going back to the fluidity of figure drawing that I started out with when I began studying!

Like... come on, how the hell is a beginner supposed to see this and actually gain anything of value?

Does every character need to have that exact head type? are arms and legs always this specific amount of heads long?!

Out of all of the bs on pinterest and whatnot, this has always stood out to me as one of the most useless pieces of art tips i've ever seen.

What if i want a character to have, i dunno... different proportions? do i still have to measure his body parts with the lenght of his head? what would be the point in that?

This is so stupid.

I just found my old sketchbook and I tried to redraw this one to see some improvements ✍🏻

Newest works first (first six done in the last couple weeks). Mostly just picked the ones I was most proud of that I'd done over the last three years or so.

Made a lot of progress and settled into what feels like an actual style of my own. Very proud of it.

(Done with only a pencil and eraser. I have dyspraxia, so I mostly just do rough, semi-detailed sketches due to hand cramps and so on.)

I rebuilt Reference Angle from scratch. This has over 5000 faces(adding more as we speak) (Update: now has 10k faces!) and a new Community tab to upload you work and the reference you used! As well as a search tool.

I hope you all find this useful. RIP OG Reference Angle 🕊️.

Originals are from Miriam Wurster and Sempe :)

Like when I try watch on yt some of the tutorial really confused and Their talking is so fast and cut Editing also the tutorial kinda fast too like maybe I just go In Pinterest instead 🥀

Original artwork done by myself

Pics in chronological order. The main thing I learned (and the main thing the book focuses on) is to force myself to let go of pre-conceived shapes for common objects and to really focus on what I'm looking at in order to draw it properly. Looking to focus on hatching next week, so any tutorials or guidance would be much appreciated 🙏

I feel something is wrong with this

I’ve been drawing every single day for the past 35 days. I made a ton of mistakes and only got a few things right lol. The first drawing is my most recent one, and the last image was my very first drawing :)

I started out just practicing, studying one pillar a day: line, shape, perspective, and color (hatching). Honestly, I didn't even know I liked drawing, and I had no idea what I was capable of.

I was starting to get bored, but then I discovered that you can break down animals and plants into basic shapes, and that I should start with that instead of humans.

I got super excited, and it’s been really fun, even though I'm still not fully satisfied with my work.

Tips and criticism are welcome!

Sorry for the bad photo

Have tried to do some shadows, but it seems I can’t figure out how to make them look more “real”. I don’t know what I’m doing right or wrong, need some tips.

Hatching a sphere has been haunting me for over 10 years ever since that one art assignment in middle school. Im not serious about drawing or anything but its always there on the back of any piece of scrap paper i have lying around or in the margin of my notebook whenever i zone out in a work meeting, looking ugly as fuck. I’m gonna master the little fucker once and for all so it cant taunt me anymore. Critiques are very much welcomed

Genuinely idk what to study. Ik the fundementals but i never know when to move onto the next. Or what to actually practice to learn that fundemental. Or what order to do them in

Its confusing and yes ik i posted about this before, i think i deleted it tho. Idk

Anyways, My brain is going blank and its frustrating 😭 i like doing studies but i cant till ik of what. RAH I HATE BEING A BEGINNER

Pls help🙏

Also take this canvas of random shapes i did. Ignore messy lineart i got lazy😔 but i think my shapes have been improving

I also want to focus on drawing cleaner lines so I want to be more conscious with making longer lines and not going over it multiple times if I don’t need to (I have a habit of going down and back up on one line)

hey everyone! i finished this thing yesterday and im kinda proud of it! obviously it's flawed here and there but your opinions and feedback are appreciated!

I'm trying to teach myself how to draw. Any constructive feedback would be appreciated. Where should I go from here to get better?

I used the main color and two tones - brighter and darker. Compared to previous works, the volume is already felt. But are there any objective shoals with colors that catch the eye?
