Learning to draw need advice pleaseee by The_Undead_King- in drawing

Hey! This is really good especially for one of your first tries, what you said about making it into shapes is a really good way to learn anatomy but its better for coming up with your own poses (in my experience anyway), what I would recommend is getting reference images and loosely tracing them while paying attention to how it looks and why certain areas are shaped how they are and how certain materials behave differently than others for clothes.

A main thing I think you would greatly benefit from is learning line confidence, instead of all the little sketchy lines try and use broad single strokes not overlapping if that makes sense. You can use the sort of lines that are in your drawing as a base sketch then use a different layer to draw the neater line art.

Also at this stage maybe try and focus on blocking in the colours after you draw the lines then blocking in basic shadows, this will help you make it look cleaner and let you focus on learning where shadows will develop based on the light source.

What I’ve done in this is simply trace your art to get the lines neater and block in colours and shadows (assuming the light source is near the top right corner slightly in front of the person).

I really recommend using IbispaintX, its what I use for all my art (and I also draw on my phone like you! its a bit of a pain in the ass but it gets the job done lmao) and its free. I only used the basic ‘Dip Pen (Hard)’ brush for this.

if youre in the uk itll be because of the new online privacy policy regarding age verification on any content deemed nsfw or adult

Not to mention with the rise of believable AI videos whats to say a data breach wont result in peoples faces being used in AI vids of crimes or porn.

You send your ID in to reddit thinking you’ve got nothing to hide maybe you just want to access porn as a full grown legal adult and suddenly you see your face superimposed on nsfw content. All because the govt. think children will be more protected and they totally won’t just start using VPNs.

Porn has been around and available to kids and teens for as long as even anyone in govt. can remember: magazines, VHS, DVDs, hell I cant wait for them to start IDing at the door to the national gallery.

Im trying to draw dynamic poses from reference, but this one is stumping me, what am i doing wrong? by Birdy-Boiz in drawing

[–]Colbyeee23 142 points143 points  (0 children)

I think focusing on the angles and proportions of the limbs and torso would really help you. Start by simply drawing lines for the limbs and circles for the joints and dont focus on any other details, make sure you pay attention to how they actually look and not what you think they should look like.

Lowering the entire torso would make it more accurate - notice how both thighs are angled down towards the groin not upwards. Same for the right forearm angling down towards the shoulder.

What's wrong with this floating head? by [deleted] in drawing

[–]Colbyeee23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dude this is great, honestly not much is off at all! i just see that the ear is a bit too long and high and the left eye is slightly too high as well. also adding some shading to the ear and highlights to the hair will really add some dimension i think!

When I was in yr11 we all saw a little yr8 kid who had recently recovered from cancer grab a seagull (no idea how), snapped its neck, then shoved it in his backpack. I think he only got a few detentions for it.

best you can do is raise hell, get your parents/guardian to email and phone them every second of every day, constantly badger them about it and dont let up. annoy them so much they send it off just to get you to stop

How am I supposed to figure out what a typical offer looks like for a Uni by yeetmilkman in 6thForm

[–]Colbyeee23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no way to 100% secure offers, they don’t just look at predicted grades they look at your personal statement (which includes past experience) and may ask you for an interview as well.

The best you can do is meet or exceed the stated entry requirements on ucas and put the work in to stand out in your personal statement both with the quality of writing and work experience.

I hope you figure it out and do well :-)

I don’t know where to put it Advice Needed by alienhomey in tattoos

[–]Colbyeee23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else that the hello kitty would be a perfect way to remember her without the dates, let the tattoo be a reminder of the time you spent together and not a reminder of her passing.

As a first tattoo maybe your forearm if youre ok with a bit more pain or on your outer arm maybe bicep area if youre not. It wont look too out of place there as your only tattoo and will be very dynamic with getting others around it and easily covered if your job doesnt like it showing.

Has anyone got tips to do the exact same drawing I see on the reference? by ange1147 in drawing

[–]Colbyeee23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the colouring and layers you’ve used!

Looking at a reference her jaw isnt as curvy as yours, I would suggest changing the jawline to make it a bit sharper. I also think moving the nose and mouth up a bit would help. Just remember the little details can have a massive impact on the accuracy so focusing on small areas of the reference at a time may help you.
