Why do people keep obsessing about the female body?
The male equivalent is much better looking.
>>2488237
Because curves are fun but I agree OP. I too am getting sick of drawing nothing but girls.
Because those people are mostly straight guys and people generally miring'. I love the sight of a little girl or boy more, but I understand that's not the case with most people.
I favor drawing the male form as well. Love drawing its strong, well-defined angles. Then again I'm a straight female so that could have something to do with it.
Post the most gorgeous pencil drawings only.
What kind of pencil is that tho
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the existence of Mark Crilley. He helped me a lot to get where I am now in art, and I can't be the only one.
Most western guys who try to draw anime can't pull it off, like their art has a weird western feel to it. But Mark really thought me how to do it right.
Check out his channel where he gives free tutorials on how to draw manga and anime!

How do I find out where the original of this painting is shown ?
How do I know if it's a private owning it and keeping it for himself or if some museum or collection is presenting it ?
I really, really like this painting.

I'm an older cartoonist who learned to draw with pencil, paper, and a used copy of "How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way" (which admittedly resulted in some bad habits) and I'm looking to try and upgrade to the digital stuff most artists do these days. Thing is, it's like trying to teach myself how to walk with my arms instead of my legs, y'know? It feels like I'm trying to use a part of my brain that's never been involved with the process before,, like I'm drawing with my off-hand, and it keeps frustrating me.
Is there any hope for me (I know, "Nope"), and does anyone have any tips or recommendations they can give? I have a Bamboo tablet and a cracked copy of Paint Shop Pro (normally used for scanning my sketchbook) that I'm dying to learn how to actually USE.
>>2490968
Since you can already draw, it's more of a transitional learning curve. You get how to do things, you're just having to adjust the medium.
It's like learning spanish but already knowing French.
Just keep at it; once you get a hang of the adjusted motions, you'll do fine.
Alternatively, get a tablet with a screen to minimize transitional loss.

>Alternatively, get a tablet with a screen to minimize transitional loss.
I've been looking into that, actually. Do you have any recommendations, especially in terms of price?
I ask for help in others threads and nobody helps me, ¿wtf?
i only want know what is wrong with my drawing
Donn't kill me

1) You're Namefagging.
2) The arm proportions are all messed up.
there's no reason to namefag
you're not more special than anybody else and that's probably why nobody wanted to critique your shitty lineart

Are there any really advanced resources for perspectives? I do know the 1,2,3 point perspective drawing techniques, but those are still quite limited in utility for more complex structures. I know most artists just wing it and make it good enough, but I would like to study mathematical or geometrical ways to portray accurate angles and stuff.
I know a lot depends on chosen "lens" of the observer, to create the perspective projection...Like at what distance should a observed-faced square start to look more rounded thanks to the projection?
I know Escher...

anything more than 3 point is a wonky fish eye shit. check out ultra wide angle camera lenses
>>2489532
well man,
1 point is used for limited spaces, 2 point comes in because the cone of vision starts making things looks wacky. so the cone of vision is expanded somewhat and we get 2 vanishing points to stop warping.
3 point is the most natural. it's probably the best for illustrating full images in general and its only somewhat limited. and usually the horizon will be off the page.
if you want the image to start rounding that's usually using 5 point perspective which you see a fair amount...

Yeah, this book from scott robertson is definitely helping.
I think I might have learned some of this shit in the past but have forgotten stuff.
I fell into the copy other artist and make nothing original loop when trying to learn from them, how do i get out of this?
Death is the only way out

copy loads of artists you like, decide what you like and don't like about their art, which will refine your taste
Look to other artists, of varying styles and eras. Don't get stuck learning from/copying one artist, you'll always be a pale imitation at best that way.
Apply these varying influences into your personal work, do many, many, MANY studies not just of the artists you like and their styles, but of traditional subjects as well. (Still life, figure drawing, gestures etc.)
First post here. I'm trying to improve my style, tell me about the shades and whatever you want. Also next post from me.
Read the sticky, post in beginner thread instead of making new thread, learn to resize your pictures.
Just tried water-soluble colour pencils for the first time, it's really fun. Way easier to use than normal watercolour imo, and it's really relaxing. Do you know of any good resources, preferably online, to git gud? Also wouldn't mind some feedback on pic related, I need pointers.
shameless self-bump
>>2489664
its just a dry watercolor in a pencil so the same as watercolor tutorials?
>>2489664
I am not sure how relevant it'd be to pencils but I highly recommend the Big Book of Watercolor by Jose M. Parramon as a source for learning more about watercolor in general (check the Book Thread)
Need a bit of help mixing and storing paint.
I got an airbrush, and I decided to cheap it the fuck out, got a pump, brush, and tube acrylic paint that I think till it will spray.
Sure its a pain in the ass, but it thins well, and sprays VERY good, may not be as good as paint specifically for the airbrush, but damn good none the less.
Now, till now I thin the pain it batches for when I use the airbrush, however, I want to stop that, as each time I thin it, its a little different, sometimes its a bit thicker, sometimes its a bit thinner, and its a pain in the...

I have no idea what you are asking
>>2489519
I'm new to airbrushing
I thin my own paint
I want to thin in bulk (well, bulk of 30ml)
I want to use glass for ease of cleanup
I cant find glass that's 30ml and cheap that's good/guaranteed
Im asking if anyone else here knows where I can possibly get a glass vial with dropper, or a glass dropper + glass container on the cheap.
