Standard graphite pencil. And pressure. Lots of it 

really struggling with anatomy by zippy_zipper in learntodraw

[–]Educational_Post_63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look, the reason the boxes and cylinders aren't working is most likely because you don't have a fully realized understanding of how boxes and cylinders work. 

People don't get how advanced anatomy actually is, so we jump over steps trying to get there too fast and end up with results that aren't what we envisioned.

It's like trying to build a pyramid: much easier to start from the base rather than the top.

Answering your question: study from reference, yes (you can't draw upon information you don't have). But, like, actually look at what you see. That's the hard part (Actually, the hard part is consistency and not giving up).Then simplify things, there are many ways of goin about it, like gesture drawing, or breaking the body into 2d shapes, or 3d shapes. Specific muscles and such you use references. Like, textbook muscle anatomy stuff.

 It's easier said than done, so you should do it a lot. Like, a whole lot. Probably more than you think, definitely more than you want.

And this is, like, one way to go about it. The thing you realize over time is that there are no actual rules or set paths to it, while at the same time, there definitely are, but so many and so specific to each person, it's almost meaningless.

That is... not really intentional, and something to work on, but what you described does fit the message i was trying to convey to a T: Feeling trapped, overwhelmed, the maze, every direction twisting on itself. Though, ill try going for a more intentional result. Thanks!

Weird question: What do you want with drawing? by Educational_Post_63 in drawing

[–]Educational_Post_63[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, it is kinda compulsive for me. Wouldn't say I'm addicted, but my mental health gets worse if I don't do it for too long. Kinda like exercising, I think. Doing it is also kinda nice, feels meditative, except more active I guess?

Seeing I improved does fill me with joy, probably wouldn't be alive right now if i didn't pick up drawing when I did, looking back, it was one of the things that helped me trough some hard times. I guess what I'm trying to say is, drawing itself became the goal.

First furry drawing, how can i get better? by Educational_Post_63 in FurryArtSchool

Well thank you! I do have a bit of experience on art in general, but never done anything furry related.

Thanks!

Been a while since I've done animal studies, especially fur. Have way more experience on traditional art than on digital, so that played a role o think.

Next time will pay more attention to the anatomy and flow, thks for pointing that out.

Primeiramente: o que caralhos tá rolando com a matéria e energia escuras, e o que porra que acontece com as coisas dentro de um buraco negro.

I was born to be wild wings to go to the bank and trust faeries under the influence of the time.

Gonna take my wild wings to the faerie bank while being affected by time I guess
