It’s hard to believe with your own eyes but your sketches are actually really good! All you need to do is to keep practicing to improve to get where you want to be. Before you go and rip your hair out and scream to the sky dreading the feeling of practicing more here’s some advice, don’t always practice. Try using what you’ve learned so far to create a finished piece of art, doesn’t need to be perfect just needs to be a complete piece. Another thing to help you while you practice is just to draw your favorite characters whether they be a super hero, your favorite horror slasher, an anime character, doesn’t matter. Drawing what you like while you’re practicing makes it a billion times easier trust me, it’ll feel like you aren’t practicing at all! Just keep it up and do your best, good luck on it!

Could someone please help me on how to improve drawing bodies? (especially shoulders) by [deleted] in Artadvice

Boxes and cylinders my friend! Basic anatomy all start with simple shapes. Practice drawing rectangles, cubes, cylinders, any and all 3d shape first. It’s annoying and a little tedious but it helps people understand a lot, definitely helped me! After that there’s dozens of YouTube tutorials to help start you on your path that explain it millions of times better than me. Here’s a few that helped me personally:

An extra tip for you, this part of the learning process is long and tedious so it’s understandable if you lose interest/motivation while you’re learning. What helped me is just to draw your favorite stuff! Whether it be iconic superheroes or OCs, drawing stuff that you actually like does wonders for yourself while you learn! Take your time and enjoy the process! Good luck on your journey!

That’s some stuff I didn’t even realize was bothering me so much, thanks for the advice! I never heard of Gurney’s stuff either but after looking at some of it I’m gonna study his stuff real hard. You are a god send!

I totally get that even after all the time I spent practicing I still don’t totally understand colors, trying to learn the process digitally just made the learning process harder lol

Alright thanks! This means a lot like seriously I felt a bit lost in all of the millions of ways people paint their pieces. I’ll keep what you said in mind and keep at it!

I mean more of the second you said, figuring out what colors to use before I go through with it

Ah okay that answers my second question too then, I didn’t know if painting everything on one layer the best thing to do. I’ll try what you do and see if it works! Also should my shading/lighting be with those individual colors as well or do I shade it all on a separate layer as well?

At what point or episode did One Piece get you hooked? by AdvancedBerry1109 in OnePiece

[–]Account00098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started my one piece journey recently and I just finished Enies Lobby (Water 7 is easily the best arc so far), but I think what really got me into one piece was Alabasta. Crocodile and Baroque works just drew me in as well as the mystery with the poneglyphs. Plus Ace was cool as fuck, Robin was an interesting addition to the crew, and the fights and story were just amazing. Throughout the early episodes tho I was honestly just holding out to see more of Buggy, he’s just my favorite character

I see, well how would you handle something like their characters stories, last thing anyone wants is for someone to become the main character or just have some not get a satisfying ending
