All you need to begin drawing is a pencil and some paper
Feel free to post any drawings of yours in this thread. Illustration, doodle, traditional, digital - anything goes. Discussion on skillbuilding techniques and fair critique of other wizards' work is welcome.

Wageslaving, 12 hours of my day just dedicated to commute and slaving. The usual numbness and parlyze is taking half of what little free time I have, so I am happy that I still made some pictures. Tried people this week instead of clouds.
Also attached: Picture #2 and Picture #20. I need a brush that is smaller then 1 (or I need to draw bigger. THOSE EYES)
>>59663>planesare they important?
No.59665
>>59664yes planes are among the building blocks of painting. form/value/perspective and understanding how light works is like 90% of painting. color and composition come after

Is there an easy way to draw feet’s and hands or if just practice? I can do the exercises I found in the books of Hogarth or Loomis, but when I try to draw them in a position that is not in the books, most of the time I fail and when y try to draw something just from my mind I forgot them. Yesterday I try to draw my own art without reference, I tried all the afternoon. Most of the times I don’t know what in trying to do and the other times I forgot how to draw something. The last try was the least bad attempt. Maybe I should break my bad habit of trying to do things without sketching it first. This is normal in every person who tries to draw?

Wonder wich setting on my phone does this, pictures all seem brighter than they look like through that photo screen. Cant even see the difference between the sky and the clouds in pic #24.
I also reached a milestone: 25 pictures in total and 1 month of time invested with 1-3 hours per picture. A genius would paint somewhat good now. Someone gifted passable and someone talented would definetely show improvements… Getting to old and tired searching for my talents. Atleast its somewhat enjoyable, should be fun once I reach the ok stage.

if i knew how to draw, if i had the tools and time, id draw things like this. i like tall, thin succubi. long and narrow necks, legs, arms and fingers. curvy shoulders. fluffy, curvy, > waist length hair. breasts, petite or very large (<= B, => E). always seem to draw eyes like these. i like modest clothes like simple dresses without much cleavage. and i really like illustrious from al, shigure from kc, and an-94 from gfl. i think thats the sort of thing id draw. i dont know if anyone would like it, but its how id do it. i like drawing and if i decided this is what ill do id put a lot of effort into it, and go so far as reading kleine rassenkunde for anatomic reference, and draw from my favorite artists, who arent few, but i feel more drawn to programming and math, the possibilities are much more infinite.

Have any other newbie drawers found that less time spent on a drawing makes it better? I feel like when I just let my imagination flow and not think too much about it things end up coming out better, it's like learning that there is no logic in drawing, it's just free flowing

Lots of "Tips for Artists" say one should join a circle/group where you can post your stuff, get feedback and be encouraged to grow and stuff. Sounds like normalfagcentral, but is anyone in one? Are they really better than doing this alone?
Also is anyone doing NFTs? Apparently really low quality shit is being bought and sold.

>>60022Positive reinforcement is never a bad thing. Exposing yourself to other artists who you can relate to in personality and skill level can help to encourage you. I find it's easier to draw and stay motivated when I'm drawing
for someone or a group of people who I like, such as wizards. Knowing they'll get a kick out of a doodle keeps me focused on it.
The "circle" these guides speak of doesn't have to be something official, regulated, or even organized. If you draw a character you like and post it to a media sharing social network like Deviantart or Twitter with the appropriate tags, people who search for that character/series/whatever will find it and be happy to share it. Then you look through their art and respond to the things you like of theirs. A mutual exchange of "good job" goes a long way.
>Are they really better than doing this alone?You have to ask yourself this. If you find that you would appreciate some kind words about your art, and would like to make like-minded artists happy with kind words of your own, then yea exposing yourself to a group of fellow nice artists will help. If you resent people with every fiber of your being and don't want anyone seeing or being involved in your artistic adventures, then just avoid social networks all together and never upload.

>>60184you can mix and apply color good enough
you just need to work on putting the color down accurately. so trace or do a sketch first and then use that as a guide for putting the color down
