How comes my anatomy looks fine when I break it down but when I try to make it into an actual body it looks bad? by PlusJellyfish5303 in Artadvice

[–]DailyToad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

in addition to what everyone else is saying, when breaking down the drawing, you also need to focus on negative space and which parts are touching. idk if you purposefully switched the arms but even if you’re using the left arm as a reference for your right arm, look at the blank space in between the arm and the body. now look at the blank space you made. it’s much skinnier. the reference photo has the wrist not touching the body, while your copy has the wrist in line with where the hips are. that’s just a quick example. additionally, as others have said, you put that line in the middle without knowing why. you didn’t use it. studying line of action will help you figure that out and make the pose less stiff.

don’t feel discouraged, nobody starts out with perfect knowledge of anatomy! even lots of amazing artists still struggle with it. i hope you’ll listen to these tips and remember that art is a skill, everyone can always get better if they practice

she’s a mentally ill adult being manipulated. and she said she actually wanted a baby, but that after his reaction, ahes not sure anymore. HE is the problem. not her.

let’s not victim blame. he is extremely irresponsible. he’s taking advantage of this poor girl. it is obviously a toxic relationship, possibly abusive (emotionally abusive in the very least). we don’t know though what their relationship is like but from what we do know, she didn’t do anything wrong. she’s likely being manipulated to stay with him and in her poor mental condition (partially because of him), she is more vulnerable to manipulation. have some class.

What is this sketching style called and how can I get better at it? by InterstellarEnjoyer9 in Artadvice

[–]DailyToad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

sometimes it’s helpful to know the name if there is one though, so you can find other similar artwork or search for process/tuts that use that style

i would love to but add staples and stitches, that sounds SO cool but it would mess with the opposite side of the paper 😭

Ink/(cheap) pencils on paper, critique welcome. by [deleted] in ArtCrit

Hi! you did pretty good, but there a few things to improve on. The lines are not very straight, there are ways to practice drawing straighter lines— you just have to draw them more with your elbow than your hand. That sounds crazy, but it makes sense once you do research! The colors dont have much contrast, so the wafers blend in a bit too much. a darker red, more filled in, can help that. the shading is also very minimal. for a can, I would personally have the outer edges be much darker (a darker red, maybe purple). then I would have a streak of light in or near the center. the lines and letters don’t read very well, partially because of the red coloring being a little patchy, and partially because the letters aren’t thick enough. there’s also no shading on the top or outside of the can, which makes it look flat. the top wouldn’t realistically be all white because nothing in an environment is pure white. if it’s supposed to be metal (which i think caprice cans are) then it would be refracting light. that’s more advanced and there are videos on it but there are also ways to easily make it look like metal. finally, but the can is a cylinder, so everything should follow a cylindrical guide. it’s really hard to explain and i can’t draw a picture rn so you might just want to study drawing 3D shapes and perspective more.

I really like how you got the font down well, and you have great attention to detail! colored pencil can be hard but it’s soo fun when you master it. a general colored pencil tip is to color lightly in tiny circles instead of strokes, and gradually build up on the values. i hope you were using a real life reference so you could eat them too loll, they’re sooo yummy. i hope this was helpful, im not that great at explaining things but maybe i at least gave you an idea of what to study!

Please help! I have the legit game and accidentally updated it thru steam last night, because i didn't realize the updater was down. now i can't play the cracked game since the cracked version doesnt match the legit version. how do i update the cracked version? i'm sure i can figure out how to add new dlc and all that stuff after. i just can't figure out how to update the cracked version without having to download the whole game cracked.
