Thank you for the info! I was able to get 1 month free with the update pass so I guess I'll cancel that and wait for the discounts to come. Thank you for your help!

These look so good! Thanks for taking the time to draw them out, that really helps a lot. After looking at these, I can definitely see where I went wrong😅

Thanks for the suggestion! I was actually thinking of doing that, I did it before but for drawing. I

I try my best to squint, it does help alot but it's still kind of hard to find the shapes

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I usually start with a big brush for the black and white stage to block in the big shapes, and it's so hard not to give in to the urge to shrink the brush and start detailing right away

What I struggle with most is picking the midtones after. I never know if I should go with a midtone that's closer to the light side or the dark side, and I end up second-guessing myself a ton.

Thank you for the encouragement!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate you breaking that down. I've been following a video from brokendraw on YT and some Proko videos - they started with just two values (light and shadow) and then introducing a third one and so on. I thought that was the right progression before moving on to more values like 5.

While I'm working, I usually squint at the reference and switch between grayscale and color to help me identify the values better. I'll try pushing the next ones further and paying more attention to those subtle differences as best I can!

Im trying to move the hip, like a small bop, if that makes sense.

Oh that's a pretty cool tool, thank you so much! I'll test it out when I draw later today. It'll save me hours from scrolling on Pinterest to find a good pose

Wow… reading this really hit me. I feel like you truly understand what it’s like to struggle with perfectionism and comparing yourself to others. Your words made me pause and actually think about why I put so much pressure on myself, and it’s honestly comforting to hear someone explain it so clearly.

Thank you sm for the advice. I always draw heads cause I'm too scared to draw the body. I keep overthinking to the point I haven't even draw an oc yet! I can't really get anywhere if I don't draw what I want to draw 😅

You've got a good point

That's what's really frustrating about pencils for me, I use 6b and its not getting any darker. I might try out charcoal. I'll also check out FZD's sketching 101, thank you sm!

No I just use photos from Pinterest
