>>68877I'm happy to say that for the 1st time in many years… I've been drawing consistently! I wish I could draw every day, but work drains most of my energy. On the weekends though? I'm drawing way more than I've done these past few years, I got my hobby back. I'm glad I bought a cheap tablet and a stylus, the convenience makes it easier for a tired depressed me.
I do miss the feel and sound of the paper being "scratched" though, but a matte screen protector helps with that.

>>69219technically he did improve. His anatomy despite horrible look more realistic. There is better shading, coloring and more detail.
However it shouldn't have taken 9 years to reach that level.
No.69895
>>69836Hey! You have improved a lot, the perspective and anatomy are impresive. Good job! Also are those characters from an anime or OC's? They look badass.
>>69794>I've been drawing consistently! That's great, keep the grind and you will soon start to get good results. Before september I used to draw ~1 hour per day, but unfortunately I lost the habit of drawing. Gonna try to recover it this october by doing a inktober challenge.

I try to get into it but it's pretty hard, drawing something from reference is easy sure but that's obviously not what I want. I really want to try this since it's one of the few things that I'm motivated for right now, along with learning japanese.

>>70081>You guys should give AzPainter a shotThanks for the recommendation. But I suck at digital drawing lol, I will still try it though.
>>69955 >drawing something from reference is easy sure but that's obviously not what I wantYeah, drawing without the need of using references is also one of my goals.
I actually tried to draw something a few days ago just using my imagination.
It looks wonky as hell and it took me like 6 hours lmao.

>>70096I heard that is a good thing to work on two drawings because your eyes can perceive your mistakes better. It is a solid advice.
However, I have another issue. I can't fucking finish any drawing I do. Even if I spent dozens of hours. It doesn't have a 'finished' feeling. I learned anatomy and other basics decently. But I can't into colors and rendering. Whenever I try I overcomplicate shit and it all falls apart because to do what I attempt to do I need much more knowledge and experience. A satisfying, complete art piece is beyond my abilities.
Colors in particular are my personal art hell. I used to draw like a crack addict. It wasn't much - I just casually drew from 3d models of my favorite game characters as references, but it was a constant thing. And yet after a while I realized that stepping beyond just lines, hatching or simple shading into color is like chewing razors for me and I began taking long-ass breaks. I decided to crawl back to drawing and the same thing happens once more.
Sketch - Lines - SHIT. It feels like an impassable blockage at this point. And yet I can't quit. I tried many times full blown quitting art, it doesn't work, I come back after a month just to be assblasted.

>>70250Something happened after this post. I realized why I don't want to draw. I treat it not as a drawing project but as a escapism tool. I judge the drawing based on how well it can 'pull' me. It is stupid. I can draw wizards. I will draw

Thats exactly why I neuroslop fake pixelart or "pixelated art" or "yukkuri" or … stuff based on anime and such.
Just to see some kind of another world. (which is counterproductive in terms of getting through my load of RL)

>>70289>which is counterproductiveFor me it is when I can't 'feel' my drawing the way I can with other people's art, I treat it as shit. I will try another approach.

You guys, I discovered today that I prefer to draw multiple basic unfinished sketches first and work on them later. I derive more satisfaction that way, it gives me a blueprint to work on later without burning out my energy. Perhaps many wiz here might benefit from this approach?

Thankfully I can draw heads and hair easily now!
But the rest of body is hard I don't know when drawing how to make arms look natural and feminine this is main problem I struggle with!
No.70458
>>70457You are doing great job!
I would suggest to not press the pencil so hard against the paper. Your lines are too thick and I can see smudges where you erased the lines. Ideally, it shouldn't happen.
You should hold the pencil lightly and not press too hard. It should glide against the paper, only barely touching it and your movements need to be fluid. I can imagine you making small, hactic movements with your wrist and basically grinding the pencil against the paper.
Before studying anatomy, try drawing circles, elipsed or random shapes but draw with your your whole arm starting with the elbow, not the wrist. Let your pencil glide on the paper and don't press to hard.
But I see you are doing great job, your art is very soulful and I like the design. Please post more in the future.

>>70458The tip about drawing with your whole arm really helped me a lot
Like I always wonder how people drew perfect circles but I couldn't then I finally realize the problem it was that simple….I always drew with wrists not with my whole arms!
But seriously thank you man!
I started to draw because of a incident where someone drew some fucked up stuff of fictional character I really love and care about and I want to sleep knowing I can draw and do better than that piece of shit and thanks to you! I got closer to my goal of making something amazing and I will make this year at all cost!
