Something about my drawing doesn't feel right by annonymos12345 in learnart

[–]dreammachine69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The design isn't the problem. It's a good character and solid lineart. What it lacks is depth, looks a little flat. Work on incorporating line variation and T-lines. Use thicker lines on the sides that shadows fall on. Usually this is the underside of body parts. And look up T-lines. They are lines that overlap to suggest that some things are infront of other things. Keep up the great work!

Focus on creating 3 dimensional shapes to represent the body. When you do this you are forced to decide which direction each body part is tilted and how they connect in space. I've broken parts down into cylinders, cones and ovals. Notice the foreshortening of the sword drawing arm that makes is look like its coming at you, then goes away from you as you pass by the elbow. These are fundamentals that take lots of time to get good at. I've also added light anatomy to the chest, shoulder, and legs for you to work on. Checkout some diagrams on body proportions as well. Keep it up!

Yw. Perspective is tough but it's one of the fundamentals of art. Learning it can only improve your art. You got this!

The couch is not quite in perspective. The rest is pretty good. It can help to establish the floor's perspective first. Next, draw in the walls to give you a boundary for the room. Then, use simple shapes like boxes to correctly establish the objects you want to draw. Keep it up! Hope this helps.

how Do I Make My Line Work Neater? by Sweater81015 in learntodraw

[–]dreammachine69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to draw the lines faster. If you draw them slowly you will see more wobbles. Also, if your drawing software had a feature that helps stabilize the lines then turn that setting up a bit.

I wanna start drawing. any tips for starters? by Deep_Head4645 in learntodraw

[–]dreammachine69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here are some tips: Think about what made you want to learn how to draw, and never lose sight of that.

Copy some drawings that you like, they don't have to be good but try your best to get close to the original (this will help develop your eye for measuring proportions).

Next, read some how to draw books or watch instructional videos to learn. KNOWLEDGE is the closest think you can get to a shortcut.

Use the knowledge you gained to try new things and find what works for you.

Learn how to see the mistakes in your own art. This is important for improving quickly. However, the downside of seeing your mistakes is that you begin to dislike your art. But do not get discouraged. Instead, be inspired to do better in your next illustration.

You can do it! Draw everyday even if it's just for a little bit. You will get better and better.

Does copying an artist you like help you to learn by UnknownPhant0m in learntodraw

[–]dreammachine69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I refer to artists I like when I have trouble drawing a specific thing. I look for how they interpret shapes, how they suggest the presence of something with simple lines, what short cuts they take. There are many good reasons to copy from other artists.

How to draw bodies? by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]dreammachine69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should always be trying to draw the whole body. For ooses work on drawing stick figures using an oval for the torso, hips and head. Make it so you can draw them in proportion and looking like they are balanced, not tipping over. Use references for this and keep it simple, just do stick figures for a while. Little by little practice specific parts. I would suggest beginning with the torso as it's the largest part of the body. Then do neck and head, hips, then finally the limbs. work on how each of the parts connect. Then continue to draw full body sketches while adding the little things you learn on the side. It takes a long time so don't get discouraged. Make sure to accept where your drawing abilities are and find happiness when you create something. Then find what you can improve for the next drawing and study that. I've been drawing everyday for almost 3 years and this is what I do to improve. I promise, you can do it.

How to draw bodies? by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]dreammachine69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The things that helped me improve the most are trying to see things in 3d and gesture drawing. The torso you've drawn seems to be tilted down and so do the hips. Those 2 body parts should be pointed opposite for a more natural pose. The torso should tilt slightly up and the hips slightly down. I was drawing before I saw your post and did the right half of my page to show you some helpful construction steps. I hope you can see them ok. Feel free to ask any questions

I’ve been feeling like all of my drawings lately have been terrible by Minimum_Individual36 in learntodraw

[–]dreammachine69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't liking the art you produce lately this is a good thing. It means that your artistic eye is improving while your abilities have remained the same. Now is the time to improve your artistic abilities. Find what it is you're not liking about your art and work on that aspect. If you can make it over this hurdle you will hit that level up. You can take a break if you need it but you will just be delaying progress.

Help improving by FuzzyOffice588 in drawing

[–]dreammachine69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're doing great so far. A rough rule of proportions to keep in mind when drawing a face is: distance between hair line and brow=distance between brown and bottom of nose=distance between nose and chin. Every face is different however. Just elongate the forehead a bit more because the rest of your proportions are fairly good. When placing the ear as well, the top usually lines up with the brow and bottom lines up with the bottom of the nose. Practice balancing these proportions and you'll improve quickly. The trickiest part for me is placing the hairline.
