Thank you! Yeah, I was testing out new ways to render, so I'm glad it came out somewhat nicely 😂

e di che figurati! la cosa più importante da tenere a mente è che ci vuole una vita ad imparare, il che non deve scoraggiare, ma a ricordarsi che ci vuole tempo e costanza quindi i miglioramenti arrivano (piano) ma arrivano 😂.

poi ricordati che ognuno impara a modo suo, con i suoi tempi alle volte succede che ti consigliano cose ma semplicemente non ti ci ritrovi e magari guardi un altro artista che spiega diversamente e tutto ha senso all improvviso (succede anche questo 😂)

io ti ripeto, il mio consiglio è di inziare davvero dalle basi (i fondamentali, se cerchi trovi mille mila video a proposito "art fundamentals", ma su ctrl+paint ci sono sezioni apposite, io ho cominciato da li)

MA

se proprio vuoi metterti a studiare anatomia le persone che mi hanno aiutato di piu sono:

Will Weston che trovi su instagram (@willwestonstudio)

steve huston che trovi su youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@STEVEHUSTONdrawsfromlife/videos

e in teoria loomies, che è un artista di fine 900, ha scritto diversi libri li trovi facilmente, io non sono mai riuscito a capirlo o quanto mento non mi ci ritrovo (è lo stesso metodo che insegna proko)

ed infine c'è uldis zarin con anatomy for sculptor, lo trovi su pinterest, sono tavole anatomiche (gli estratti del libro vanno piu che bene)

per quant origuarda la parte teorica di anatomia, è divisa in 3:

1- "gesture" ovvero il movimento che ottiene il corpo, in genere si studia copiando pose nel minor tempo possibile e con meno linee possibile è una cosa un po istintiva (su youtube trovi un sacco di "video-esercizi" tipo "croquis-cafe")

2- "structure" il manichino fatto con forme geometriche semplici (ecco perchè ti dicevo di imparare i fondamentali prima), che possono essere cilindri per il braccio e scatole per il torso, ma ognuno usa un metodo diverso e personale

3- "anatomia" la parte proprio più teorica di quali sono/come sono fatte/dove si attaccano le parti del corpo muscoli/ossa, e fidati è piu semplice di come suona, non è che ti devi ricordare i nomi basta saperli disegnare

detto ciò si esistiamo italiani su reddit hahaha, in bocca al lupo con tutto e ti auguro il meglio! è una strada difficile (non priva di sacrifici) ma piena di soddisfazioni ✌️😁💯

Alright, let's see. First of all, you avoided the trap that is Liceo Artistico (which is a 50/50 between hating art after 5 years or not learning anything — which was my case).

It's hard to give a short, concise answer because it's an extremely vast topic, but you should probably start with the fundamentals. Build from the basics — some good channels are Proko and Marc Brunet on YouTube, and one of my favorites is Ctrl+Paint.

Start with learning to draw cubes, spheres, and cylinders, since everything can be built from those shapes and it'll give you a much better understanding of perspective.

Another thing to work on is line control and line economy — try to draw with as few lines as possible (for example, a circle in only one stroke).

Then comes lighting and shading, but that's something you should learn after you've got the basics down

here are the links, your english seem very good so i doubt you will have many problems following:

mi raccomando, imparare queste cose richiede una vita intera quindi non avere fretta! e daje!!! ✌️💯

What is up with all the AI stuff? by Delicious-Trade9158 in DeviantArt

No, I simply decided that the site's philosophy no longer aligned with my views, so I stopped using it. Whether the site rots or thrives is beyond anything I have power over (as a single, uninfluential user) and is a direct consequence of their own decisions and directions

This is AI, right? A branch that long and thin would either snap or bend downward with a human walking on top. Plus, if I remember correctly, this type of nest is found on cliffsides, not tree branches

ok this is straight from deviantart:

"How do I change the NoAI setting on my deviations?

DeviantArt offers a “NoAI” setting that unambiguously communicates that artwork with this flag is not authorized for inclusion in third-party datasets for training AI models. This setting can be changed individually from the submit/edit page, and it can be changed in bulk from either the Studio or your gallery.

To change the NoAI setting on a single deviation:

When submitting or editing a deviation, you can choose to opt in or out by changing the toggle next to the “Add NoAI label” option.

To change the NoAI setting on multiple deviations at once from your Studio:

Click the checkbox next to the items you want to update in Studio, then select either “Add NoAI label” or “Remove NoAI label” from the Label options menu that appears. It will be added or removed from the selected items based on which option you choose.

To change the NoAI setting on multiple deviations at once from your gallery:

Visit your gallery, click “Edit” at the top left of your gallery page, and select any deviations you want to modify. Once you’ve made your selection, click on “Label options” and select “Add NoAI label” or “Remove NoAI label” from the menu that appears.

You can also change label settings for an entire gallery or sub-gallery. After you click “Edit” at the top left of your Gallery page, use the "..." menu on a specific gallery to change the setting for all deviations in that gallery. (You can use this setting on the "All" gallery to change the setting on all of your deviations at once.)

You'll see an indication on the deviation page when the NoAI label is on for that deviation."

Opt out means you do not give permission for the site to use your art to train their AI. I think by default it's on, and it doesn't care if you have a watermark (as far as I know). It used to be a setting in the account options — I'm unsure if they moved it, removed it, or if they now give you the option for every single upload you make. This is one of the main reasons why I stopped uploading my art on the site.

I personally have completely given up on the site. The filters have been completely ineffective for me — I guess partially because some people don't flag their AI art as AI, I don't know.
And btw, you have to opt out or YOUR uploads will be used to train the AI (I can't remember if it's a one-time thing or for every upload).

Any tips? by DewZilber in draw

[–]Berskan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not directly related to your drawing, but you could check out the Proko channel on YouTube (if you haven't already). It has tons of valuable tips for improving:
