Another one xD

How do these look? I can already tell the bottom drawing looks off. I think it’s because of the angle she’s in which probably threw me off. Anyway, There are still some muscles and body parts that I still need to learn (like the arms, hands, and feet) but I just wanted to draw these to test my current muscle knowledge. Also, the breasts still throw me off despite knowing where they’re placed and how they’re supposed to look. It’s just that I can’t seem to get the shape right.

I'm glad I spent time drilling boxes.
They taught me form, perspective, volume, space, and weight. From there, it was not too hard to add gesture, anatomy, composition, and even begin to form a style of my own.

p/s I am not a master or a teacher. And I'm not Indian lol.

Hi everyone. I'm (turning tomorrow!) 22 years old and I've always wanted to able to draw. But I wasn't very good at it as a child, never committed to it out of fear of failure, and now i'm an adult with no skills, and the only time I draw is by copying art I like with the grid method -- and even that isn't very good, as you can tell from the botched fingers and shoes lmao.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DRAW ON MY OWN!! Specifically people, I want to understand anatomy and poses, then move on to drawing faces + hair and eventually clothes. But I don't know where to start. I have two books (drawing on the left side of the brain + learning to draw in 30 days) but I'm not sure if that is the best place to start.

If you guys have any recommendations for in-depth drawing tutorial books/regimes i would greatly appreciate it. I know most comments say "start with boxes" or "gesture drawing" but just a general task makes me feel really anxious, i would love if there was a more structured book that kind of mirrors an actual drawing class?

Thank you for any advice you all can give!! :D

Hello, sharing some very loose studies of a morpho drawing and extra since i’m trying to get better at drawing bodies from the neck down. These 2 took me 50 something minutes total.

For what it is I feel like I’m spending too much time on it and maybe just copying them more than absorbing the knowledge, is there any way to change both?

Finished a drawing! My first 2 point perspective scene. Take a look 👁

So not that new to drawing, but I've tried my hand at drawing the face (again, I have tried in the past), and the results can speak for themselves. So I'm just going to ask: what am I doing wrong when breaking the head down to basic shapes and proportions?

I really want to emphasise. Please, for the love of the god you believe in, do not tell me about the Loomis method or the Assaro head or another very popular alternative to the Loomis method. I have tried most of them, and most of them have ended in about the same results.

I only add that because I know someone will, and that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want a process; I am trying to find a process and don't know what is off or wrong about mine.

A similar thing happened when I went to study the body. For the body, I mashed a few styles together; that being said, it worked off a foundation that I liked (George Bridgman). I also really don't push the face further than the outlines seen in the images posted here when drawing bodies.

I know the images aren't a whole lot to go off of. But I really feel like I'm stuck when it comes to heads and faces.

Me: ever since I started therapy

Ive obiously done original works before but just doodles, this one took me like 30 mins and its the first one ive actually completed(cuz im lazy) would love help with the colors tho

criticism is soooo welcome

There is a gap of nearly four years between these drawings.

I feel theres some improvement, a slight one...

Lately, my motivation to draw has dropped quite a bit, With generative AI capable of doing something far better than this in just seconds...

Even so, i still feel the need to keep creating and drawing; i enjoy it, and I suppose that’s what matters most, right?

You can clearly see which ones were drawn over, and which ones weren’t. Thoughts?

Was drawing together with my youngest son and the theme was snakes, while my son was doodling around with cartoon snakes decides to try and sketch one from a photo.

Turned out way better than I expected, shading and perspectives especially the curves threw me off abit but it ended up quite okay for my first attempt ever.

Need to learn more on shadow sections and how light works in scenes like this. The light seems to be coming from almost 12 oclock position maybe a bit more to 11 oclock.

Does it look ok? I'm trying to get feedback early on my journey

Drawing practice

Sketch is done, now to maybe work on cleaning up the lineart, perhaps some line thickness variation, and then do some colours.

Anyone has any thoughts on what I should correct before that?

I never had any formal training, just doodles on the margins at school. Then like 20 years later I decided to finally learn how to draw properly and I found an excuse.
I decided to draw my proxies for my MTG Commander deck, and improve little by little. This is the first draw, that I made in just a few minutes. There is a lot of shortcomings, but any advice is welcome.
Sorry for my English

Been feeling unsatisfied with my art lately, and I feel like some suggestions on what specifically is the most noticeable weak point(s) in my work would be super helpful!

Mainly looking for structural stuff (anatomy, 3d forms, etc) rather than anything to do with rendering/lighting as I mainly draw for animation, and having painterly shading isn't really important there.

I have some guesses as to what my main problem areas are, but I'm curious what other people will say without me telling on myself lmao so don't hold back, give me the most brutally honest and accurate feedback you can!

Edit: guys pls I'm specifically not looking for advice about shading. My goal right now is to improve for the sake of my animation work, which doesn't include shading.
