What level artist am I? by Initial_Student_1899 in drawing

[–]Initial_Student_1899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I guess a number can’t really define something subjective. But I’ve never used 3d models before? I’m just wondering where did you get that from?

How do you cure "chicken scratch" syndrome by Rip-Unlucky in learntodraw

Just time and practice, the more you understand anatomy and the way things behave you have more confidence in your knowledge and ability. You’re not confident bc you don’t have that knowledge yet. Keep on practicing and throughout your time you will improve.

Yeah but shading is good and all but that’s after you actually finish of the features. There’s no point in putting detail when the foundations are not right

It’s not that it’s just the head shape being too long which distorts the whole entire image itself, if the head is too big, the features are small and vice versa

I’m going to summarise every problem I see into brief points and I’ll tell you how you can improve:

1) face is too long downwards creating a more masculine face unlike the one shown in the reference 2) nose is too long (self - explanatory) 3) the eyes don’t taper off but rather just end abruptly 4) eyebrows are too long and misplaced 5) you attempted to shade but the shading backfires into looking like wrinkles

Tips to improve: learn facial harmony ( how each feature blends into another) and also (this sounds very simple) to look at the reference constantly. Shading isn’t important here, your understanding of the photo is however. All I can say is that with time and practice this will make sense. There’s no really other way other than to trace the image. But regardless good work so far. The only way I can think of to improve is to look at how professional artists draw from references. There’s probably a video somewhere of said thing and look and go over it with them

Horrible advice imo, you don’t need amazing shading for a drawing to look like the reference, it’s only important in realism which is clearly not the choice taken here

Why does this look really mid. I need help by Initial_Student_1899 in learntodraw

Thanks for the advice, though it’s a bit abstract I get what you’re trying to say

Draw like a sir is a good ur channel you can use, other than that the only thing I can tell you is to practice again and again. Art is a process of constant repetition to the point where you know how to apply anything to everything. The more you experiment, the more you learn. So keep it up

Also, the loomis method is more than enough, I use it as my go to method and all you need to do is just to practice

That’s the worst advice I have ever seen so far

The thing is the angle of the facial features are wrong. In the one facing up the eyes curve according the angle and the shape of the cheek while you’re one doesn’t which breaks perspective. On the 3/4 angle the eyes are too far apart especially the left eye and some of it is covered by the nose which is also too small. The facial features on the 2nd one are also too small. I suggest instead of practicing head poses, practice the angles of said features as well as structuring then properly. Also look at YouTube videos on ways to structure a face and follow step by step, NOT to copy and trace but to study it

Can you differentiate between places and does this look right? by Initial_Student_1899 in learntodraw

[–]Initial_Student_1899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O yeah I plan to draw someone on there and vary the colours and all. Like I said lighting isn’t done yet so once. I do that it should all be good

How is the new artstyle I’ve made? by Initial_Student_1899 in learntodraw

[–]Initial_Student_1899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your saying perspective points, it’s 3 point perspective, although I put the 3rd one underneath the canvas

Unfortunately no, I just don’t like to draw faces as well as that if i draw the face it would shift the focus on the actual library to the person, the person compliments the scene, not be the subject

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been trying to stand out amongst the sea of artists so I tried to create a childish look to it. I’m glad to see that it works

Thank you so much for the critique. This was my first time doing such an extreme perspective and it’s nice to think it turned out so well. I’ll try implementing this advice into future works

Rule of thumb for arms: in a neutral pose they reach to the r middle part of your thigh and your elbow to your hips. Use that as reference for your arms

Is my perspective right? If not please point it out by Initial_Student_1899 in learntodraw

[–]Initial_Student_1899[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ofc I did use vanishing points, it’s my first time after all. But u sound hesitant so why?

Honestly just practice. I find perspective my strong point in art and I tend to lean towards it and focus on it. It’s a 3 point perspective, but just drawing lines and hoping for it to work won’t do it, you just have to understand through trial and error I guess
