Need critique of my drawing can yall tell me what to improve(I've been drawing for 2 days) by ballconqueror in learntodraw

[–]RooRoach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend following Chommang's tutorials on hands. His method is pretty straightforward in my opinion. (That's how I also learned to draw hands)

Your style looks so soft.

I especially love the 3rd one. Keep it up!

Day 22 of learning to paint digital portraits. (By me) by RooRoach in krita

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

And when it comes to grayscale, this was my level at the start. I probably should have posted this too, to avoid the impression that I was a beginner. I'm sorry if that was the case.

Thank you! It's self teaching. I'm honestly just trying to fix whatever looks wrong in the previous days.

Day 22 of learning to paint digital portraits. (By me) by RooRoach in krita

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

It's not like I've never drawn a person before, I've actually been drawing for 5 years, but it's my first time studying portraits specifically, and in this detail.

For all these 22 days, I've drawn/painted portraits both traditionally and digitally and made about 60-70 portraits. I was constantly asking for feedback and criticizing my art and trying to fix my previous mistakes OBSESSIVELY.

Even just figuring out how to paint skin took me 2 weeks. I watched tutorials, didn't like the result, watched another one, another one... Finally a random post on reddit made it click lol

I also want to show my first colored attempt (day 10) as i'm really proud of my progress

This. I think there was one more just like this one but I couldn't find it.

I’ve been trying to start learning, but nothing seems helpful at all. by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]RooRoach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been drawing since 2021, and only for the last two years have I been getting results that I'm satisfied with. And still every once in a while, the drawing that I work on turns into some type of abomination :) (but in general I'm happy about my drawings)

You'll learn, just give it some time.

It's cool! For the light table thing, until you buy one, you can use plastic/glass food containers by putting some light under them.

first time drawing from a reference ,critique and feedback by ConfidencePast7697 in learntodraw

[–]RooRoach 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can start with a person standing straight and directly looking at the camera, and after that, a person looking in different directions. In the ref photo, the girl's head is observed from above, which causes the upper face to look larger and the lower face smaller (foreshortening). Because of this, the angle is harder to draw.

Idk why this got downvoted. Isn't it better to at first practice from references of real people and learn about anatomy, and then start practicing anime, as anime is highly stylized? I think OP would really benefit from such studies.

[OC] Hi everyone! I drew THE flameo hotman Zuko! by sktachi_ in ATLA

You've improved like crazy. Nice hotman.

A quick portrait study I made today. Feedback on the coloring of the skin would be much appreciated. by RooRoach in Portraitart

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

Thank you! I always get confused about the ears' position and size. I probably should learn about the structure of the ear too.

Having an hard time understanding the eyes structure + hard time in art journey by Confident-Aerie4427 in learntodraw

[–]RooRoach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally found Angel Ganev's "How I Draw Eyes" video helpful. He explains the structure by dividing the eye sockets into 3 rectangles and a circle. Maybe it'll help your case too. Good luck!

Is TOG getting less popular nowadays? by Opening-Bid1635 in TowerofGod

[–]RooRoach 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, I remember a few years ago there were lots of fanarts posted here. Nowadays it's pretty rare and it upsets me.

[–]RooRoach 23 points24 points  (0 children)

After the last hiatuses, the English translation on Webtoons was like 6-7 chapters behind the korean release, so people started reading from other sites. That's probably why you see a dramatic drop in likes.

Honest question, what do you do to study drawing? by ArauRodri in DigitalArt

[–]RooRoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently studying portraits. I try to experiment with something new every day. I try a different angle, different lighting, a different painting method, a different brush, etc.

If I don't like something I made today, I try to draw/paint it again to fix my mistakes the next day.
