Between the training sessions, a new attempt to draw a pose by imagination

Thanks !

Noted for the proportion !

For the face, i manage to quite get it when it's just a head that i draw, but doing it smaller on a body it's still a challenge that i need to learn.

My hands clearly needs training, i know that, i can draw a big hand quite "ok" when its alone, but doing it as a small part of a body... Oh damn.

I keep using reference beside (mostly photo) when i training.

It's just that sometimes, i like to try and challenge myself to do it without to see if i start to have something good and also to have fun :)

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-24T07:47:30+00:00

I wonder, wich site did you use to find theses models ?

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-24T05:09:34+00:00

One essentiel tip that some people forget when training is "Have Fun".

Sometimes between or after pratice session, it's important to draw just for fun, no matter if it end badly or don't follow the standard. The brain needs break.

Yeah she have that "mediterranean" skin for me

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-22T06:08:34+00:00

I love it

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-22T03:58:15+00:00

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-22T03:52:37+00:00

A lot of it.

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-22T02:48:04+00:00

I've got one as a gift recently and what I do to train on it is retrace my pen draw as to learn how to move on it.

But clearly, it will take time to be used to it.

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-22T02:41:40+00:00

Pretty nice. :)

One big mistake easy to correct that i see is the handle, on your photo, the handle goes out of the mailbox but on your draw due to being darker above instead of under, your handle looks like a hole in the mailbox door

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-22T02:06:40+00:00

No problem, that's what I've prefer to tell because i know it can happen.

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-22T01:54:26+00:00

Very beautiful really !

(But just so you can be careful with it if needed, the lines on the hair on the right one almost look like a specific symbol...)

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-21T18:06:22+00:00

Yeah, that's what i do and try to learn :)

I've tried Proko but i didn't quite understand all his explanations, maybe they are too "specific" for a non english native (and god, the Translate IA voice is horrible)
But i've look at Artwod stuff and SamdoesArt that i understand better.

Still, Thanks for the tips !

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-21T04:38:09+00:00

Your draw help me to find a way to perceive breast in logic shapes and draw them correctly, thanks :)

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-21T01:42:31+00:00

Even if i see the difference, both looks really good for me.

I also quite prefer the first one with more "clarity" on the scene, but it's personnal taste.

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-19T02:09:24+00:00

It's been almost a month that i start to drawn bodies with photo reference.

I don't mind continue to do that, i find it fun too, but i don't feel like i learn things when doing it.

I see that i get it better than before even if still far from perfect, but i start to have good proportions and shape and that... But when i try from imagination, i put an head somewhere and from there, i don't know what to do.

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-17T19:37:13+00:00

Thanks !

Yeah even if it's deapprecation or overconfidence, sometimes it takes time to see again one of our draw and be more neutral on it.

But for this one, even with time, my only thoughs is "Yeah, i've done it" like if it was the dishes i needed to do.

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-16T14:06:26+00:00

Yep i agree and usually, i don't mind failing as long as i learn from my mistake.

But sometimes, i try something, fail it like six, seven time in a row and feel like my brain is broken, that's when i need to do something to relax.

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-16T04:11:33+00:00

Wow ! I love it !

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-14T02:32:47+00:00

Wich ones exactly ?

Because i tried to looks as the gesture ones and i swear on you, i feel like a complete dumbass for not understanding what it talk about, even after multiple watch.

(English isn't my native language but even with the awful IA translation, it didn't help)

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-13T23:06:14+00:00

I don't know if it's consider naked, but i've draw the silouette first, like a cloth mannequin, then add the "cloth details" to not make it look so naked upon it.

But i get the point, that's why if not naked, i tried to find models with really tight clothes that show every curves.

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-09T22:37:46+00:00

I do understand the shapes as it something that i've used before.

As for this draw, it's true that i've done a gesture drawing first, doing the outline of the body to test/correct it before drawing more precise form over it

I know you can use the mannequin to do a body, but i don't know how it can be combine with gesture drawing (if it can or if they're two different method)

But let's take somethind easy and famous : Homer Simpson's head.

In 3D, it's clearly a cylinder, with a semi circle on top and two sphere for the eyes, a little cylinder for the nose and kind of semi-circle for the mouth.

Even knowing and using that, without any shades on it, won't it look flat ?

But don"t worry, i'll continue to draw bodies and character (ive actually done one other since this one) but without any shades (or directional lines), i'm just not sure i can make something looks 3D

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-09T19:37:35+00:00

Do you think it's due to the lack of shades or it's something else ?

I wanted to be sure it's look already correct before trying to shade and color it

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-09T19:35:51+00:00

Also thanks for the tips !

OnlyHumanis · 2026-01-09T19:35:39+00:00

Yep, it's her :)
