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.

tried using one of the Loomis method videos and really liked how it turned out. I did the hair and freckles myself though so that's probably why it's the worst part.

Good advice. I'm doing that right now and it's so much fun! I know it doesn't look good, I'm a terrible artist afterall and don't practice as much as I should, but life gets in the way and my dreams of being a professional are long past me, now I just draw for fun, so even if it looks bad I'm alright with it.

I recall drawing fetish art without knowing it was a fetish, people are into a lot of things… one time I thought I was doing a simple request for a kid, of an innocent piece where a Kraken hit a volleyball with his butt, another time I made a piece of this OC pregnant again thinking it was innocent. They weren't innocent at all…

>advice about dealing with burnouts
I don't have any. I wish I had though. I got burned out so hard I deleted my four year worth of drawings and swore to never pick a stylus again. It was too painful to stare at the archive and realize I DON'T ENJOY DRAWING/CAN'T FORCE MYSELF TO DRAW at all nowadays. Two years ago I was drawing like crazy, studying anatomy and shit. I actually was interested in drawing and getting better. Something changed at some point. It became a struggle with no joy in it. I can't force myself to draw. I gain some sparks of interest back when I drink kratom here and there but it is nothing to build my passion back. I am a fuck up.

Something 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

What's everyone drawing today? I'm drawing Spider-Man, thinking of going for Superior Spider-Man, though as this piece goes on I'm thinking more and more of turning it into a Japanese Spider-Man piece, the Emissary From Hell.

Hot succubi from my favorite videogames, as always. Can't really draw anything else. I use art as a means to release my excessive libido energy since I am nofapping most of the time.

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?

I made another Spider-Man piece recently, it's just a fun character to draw.

I see, I guess it makes sense though, it'd be like a drug dealer using drugs, probably not the best idea for healthy habits, and it would slow down work a lot.

Well I am getting closer but I only have began to learn it still hard as fuck but I am learning and I will get there soon!

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!

You 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.

I maybe be a fucking scumbag cheater piece of shit, a literal cancer on everything artistic, but I just either use 3d models in CSP or already drawn hands/stamps as basis. If it is 3d model, I first trace hands fluidly so they aren't stiff. Because I am tired to see the grubby paws instead of delicate hands and I am too lazy to grind them for 1452355345 times like some gook motherfucker who has been drawing for 18 hours everyday nonstop for years.

The 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!

Just start sketching from real life, with whatever you've got. You can learn a lot just from looking at objects in reality and moving them around, seeing them from different angles and how light hits the object. Once you get comfortable with drawing simple objects you can move on to trying to copy artists that you like or photos you find interesting like the one you posted. Move onto finding books/guides on specific areas you want to focus on, there are plenty of resources out there.

>You can learn a lot just from looking at objects in reality and moving them around, seeing them from different angles and how light hits the object.
This is true for any art forms. In order to draw or sculpt or carve things that look real, you must first know what those things look like. Having a grasp of how things work and their presence in the world is the backbone of representing those things. Don't fret over trying to learn how a pencil works because you already know. You put it to the paper and where the tip touches turns dark. If you combine that with what you know about what something looks like, you can draw that thing. Once you establish the principle figure and have trained yourself to draw from memory and imagination, you can move on to "advanced pencil touching paper to make the paper dark" techniques to represent how light interacts with the object you're drawing.

I'm working on a Sonic piece now and it's been fun. It's crazy how I almost quit this hobby at one point, getting this tablet and stylus was one of the best decisions I could've made, it made drawing convenient again, which for someone as lazy as I can be is essential for me to actually get out of my way to draw. I love the way this piece is looking so far, and it's been fun!
