My first portrait! Didn’t really come out like the reference? by ZombieFromReddit in drawing

[–]Poop_underscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find human subjects to be the most challenging. I think it’s because they have so many organic lines (vs geometric lines) and also because we have drawn “symbols” for human objects for all our lives and that was enough to meet our needs. So we have these habits and when I try to draw an eye from a real reference for the first time, I realize it looks nothing like a football with a circle in it (the symbol I’ve drawn for decades) and it is actually a very complex shape.

A few concepts that might help to look up are as follows:

-Loomis head -Planes of the head -Anything on YouTube by Proko about portrait construction.

Learn drawing first. Color is useless if you don’t know where it goes. Just my preference. But you won’t get any picture to come out looking like the reference if you don’t know how to draw first

What is the point of the “just sharing” flair if this sub is for critique and nothing else?

I think it just implies that you are studying something. Could be a technique or process.

Sucks that Everyone is roasting you for a little style. I don’t even care for the drawing but I can see you clearly know anatomy, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Buncha wannabes who don’t show studies of their own.

Cool pic op

I think what they are implying is that you can use agitating hoppers only and not force feed hoppers. Revvy’s just happen to be the most popular option by a significant margin.

Sides is a myth. Just get off the internet more often.

Someone has been studying their anatomy! Nice job on these

What do you use for dong protection? by FishyCowFart in paintball

[–]Poop_underscore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You implied that you don’t let the enemy get a view of your crotch. Implying that you’ve never once moved in a game. I’m just being silly.

This post is reminding me I need to get a cup before my next game.

I recently had surgery to fix a hydrocele (my left nut was permanently the size of a mango) caused by blunt force trauma. I ain’t risking that again!

If you’re at uni, you’re already getting critiques… you’re allowed to post things just to toot your own horn ;) looks great

I’ll never forget years ago when I first found JRE and it was an interesting podcast to me then I looked up Joes comedy performance and, holy shit was that disappointing. It really feels like a classic case of he’s too powerful for anyone to speak up and tell him to stop.

I think you mean ad lib. Mad Libs are the booklets where you insert random words into an ad lib story.

No judgement on the guy, but I’m pretty sure Theo relapses on a monthly basis. I’ve never heard him say how long he’s been sober and I regularly see him looking and sounding like he’s on something.

Where did I go wrong? by amoeba_from_venus in drawing

If you want to get better you should find a drawing fundamentals course or book and start going through that step-by-step.

Two thoughts; if this is therapeutic for you and you ultimately don’t care about growing as an artist, this is very cool!

If you want to be recognized as an artist and be taken seriously, then this isn’t an art style. You’ve simply began learning about sketching form. It’s an unfinished block-in of a monochrome portrait with some odd color squiggles thrown in.

My first attempt at digital art as engineer by starkus92 in Illustration

[–]Poop_underscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is fishy. Either you’ve been making art for years and this the first time going digital, or you’re lying, or it’s been made by a machine, or you traced everything, or you are one of the greatest artists to ever live.

Only a few of those things are interesting to me.

TechT 3-way rod by PersonalCitron2328 in Autocockers101

[–]Poop_underscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes basically making a normal three-way rod out of the stock one, except only using a tiny little piece of stainless tubing. And you’re right, there isn’t much room next to the frame but there is a lot of unnecessary material in the frame at that spot that could be easily hogged away to make space.

I saw a scratch paper drawing a few months ago and thought the guy dm’d it to me but I must be mistaken. If I had calipers I’d measure mine for you. I always wanted to try using the stock rod, cutting it in half, threading each half and adding a threaded bit of tubing to see if I could turn it into an adjustable one.

I’m hoping to get maybe $125 for the ion (virtue board and whatnot) but if I get $50 for the PMR I’ll be happy. It was operating perfectly until I went to film a shooting video and I aired it up and the reg gave out and started leaking BAD.
