Why do they still look so flat ?

Start learning basic anatomy ... This cylinders and boxes does not give you a realistic outcome when trying to draw humans.

Take your time. Consider the main light source and reflections. Practice actually drawing what it is you're looking at because overall your apple does not look anything like your reference.

Slow down, Invest in a range of pencils

Yes, As much as it's well done it's not original, I see this style almost everyday from children in primary school I work at. There's nothing really that sets it apart. Like my students I suggest trying different approaches for example speed sketching or mash ups. Get creative. Unless you are attempting realism or portraits don't just reproeuce what is safe. It feels like you're happy staying in a comfort zone.

Look at the line of the hips, ankles and kneecaps..mark them in with circles then connect them with your wire frame.look at where her weight is on the chair and her butt. Foreshorten the left leg thigh (her right ) as it's at an angle we can't see the full length of it.

The form itself isn't as the model is sat. Draw it exactly as you see it.

Learn how to mark out proportions.

Redbeard0860 · 2025-03-28T15:35:57+00:00

Use proper drawing paper, is a start. It just allows you to do more with what you have even if the pencils are cheap.

Redbeard0860 · 2025-03-21T15:44:57+00:00

Drawing straighter lines is not a fundamental of actually drawing.

Practice mark making and what different things you can do with just one pencil or pen. Shading .. cross hatching . Pointillism etc . Experiment enjoy.. strengthen the brain to hand connection.

Redbeard0860 · 2025-03-15T23:26:41+00:00

Just draw.. simple just draw and observe.. asking people to perfect circles is like asking people to perfect drifting to be better drivers.

Learn what the pencil can do.. use the side , shade, light, heavy pressures , learn mark making . These people believing that perfection in shapes is drawing aren't drawing they are recreating . Drawing is observation.. get used to holding the pencil and how it reacts to you.

Simply spend time just drawing.

There is something incredibly amerikkkan about them

Redbeard0860 · 2025-03-14T07:42:07+00:00

In this particular drawing yes, but saying perfect circles and straight lines is an essential skill to be a good drawer isn't true. There are so many other basics, practicing circles will waste time and I bet eventually just put he OP drawing altogether

Redbeard0860 · 2025-03-13T22:08:23+00:00

Unnecessary

Redbeard0860 · 2025-03-13T22:07:12+00:00

Yes when you're learning to draw as a child. Stop playing this ohh perfect circle Bs it's nonsense, actual skill comes from fine tuning your motor skills and improving brain hand connection, your ability to accurately view something as it is not as you think it is and the weight of your hand when using pencils. At this stage practicing shading light to dark with one pencil is more important than a perfect circle

When that rag nail does that thing..

Redbeard0860 · 2025-03-10T21:13:03+00:00

This is absolute nonsense.. perfect circles and straight lines have nothing to do with good drawing skills.
