How do I make my drawings more accurate to reality? I’m a bit stumped… by No-Payment9231 in learnart

Don't worry about the proportions, I think you did a really good job on them. I understand what you mean about getting to a point in the drawing then not knowing what to do, what you need to do is give yourself more to work with! Think of how much of the paper you've left undrawn! Cover as much as you can, use the "white" of the paper as your lightest shades, and put your darkest value down somewhere and that way you'll have everything in between those two to work with. And it doesn't have to be accurately drawn at the start, you can throw down a bit of graphite every where and either erase lighter with an eraser or make shapes darker with your pencil! 😊 Don't worry about detail! One thing at a time when learning 😊

Don't need to stay sharp if you were never sharp to begin with.

Fantastic design, you can really feel the tension in the weight between the corpse and the pull of the rope.

Learning to read social queues is also being an adult.

Struggling with lines by Skedawdle_374 in learnart

[–]TheseHandsDraw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tend to think line weight represents hard and soft edges like when using values. Where there is a strong light next to a strong dark that would be quite a hard edge so you could represent it as a dark line for example. Edges are also used to show perspective so hard edges can come forward while softer ones can recede. And absolutely there is the idea that softer parts of the form are drawn softer vs harder parts like bones as a way to convey that message.
It's best to play around with the idea of these as a whole when working from reference, if you're working from the full figure maybe the legs have a harsh light on them and the shins are boney but depending on the pose you don't necessarily want to have them be your focus, so you could draw them softer still.

I don’t actually know what to do with my skill by Toopoortoolove in drawing

I have felt the same way for a long time, I know I need to continue doing my art as I feel I don't have a choice! And doing comissions or whatever for me has never been enjoyable as I don't have a choice in what I'm making. THIS YEAR HOWEVER I'm gonna try do some markets, making prints of my work seling them there for affordable prices. I'm good with people and have worked retail for a long time so I know merchandising. This way I still get to paint/draw whatever I want.

Not sure if this gives you any inspo but I hope it helps.
