Why do I hate my drawings so much? Why am I scared to start drawing something and always expect a failure?

Get used to it.
>>2479844
quit fucking crying
you can only draw terribly to know why you're terrible and that translates into getting better
by that logic, it sounds like you don't have the mindset so drop it already

I have been drawing/inking and painting since I was a kid. I'm in my 20s now, and I've realized that I am merely a photocopy machine. I draw what I see, but everything always seems a bit... off. I believe this is because I haven't studied the foundations. I think the subjects in my art have no weight to them, and often proportions are off. I also have a problem drawing from the mind, the things I create from nothing tend to suffer the same fate but worse. I am thinking of purchasing a book to help self study and have narrowed it down to four options:

>narrowed it down to four options
No. Instead, you're gonna read all 4, and continue on from there.
Instead, read them up in a certain order.
Start with Michael Hampton and Bridgman's book at the same time, going back and forth. Then read up on Classic Human anatomy. Then finish up with Loomis' book Figure Drawing for All It's Worth.
However, once you're done with all 4, you basically just started. Where to go from there is up to you. The book section has great recommendations.

For a book focused on figures, I like Hampton's book. It doesn't get as bogged down in measurements and anatomy. It focuses on feeling the forms, and gesture and weight. It focuses more on the basic foundations I guess, the most important stuff. So I think it's best to start with.
Loomis' books are great too though, and touch on placing figures in a scene, perspective, composing shots, that sort of thing. A little in the book you listed, more in the "Successful Drawing" book.
Bridgeman's...

Why cant i draw a simple straight line?
i try so goddamn hard and i just cant draw a straight line
i get all the vitamins and minerals and shit i need
im almost never tired when i draw
my tablets calibrated just fine
i dont get it.
is there a really good drawing program with a brush that makes your lines not shitty?
i have no clue
please help
>>2464350
>>2468597
You're not gonna make it.
>>2468597
On a tablet, if you move the pen really fast, you might get a straighter line than usual.
It also might be because you're drawing on PS and a tablet. If you draw slowly in PS, you get jittery lines.
What program are you using?
How many of you have used recreational drugs for creative inspiration? Do you have drawings you've made while under the influence?

my strong creative brain doesn't need weak drugs to git gud.

Never, drugs are for degenerates.

try not to take my trolling too seriously
i drew 5 pages of hands today but ill just post these two
>>2474702
that is only one page
>>2474702
once i added a pencil intersecting my fingers it made things WAY more complicated. it's going to take a lot more practice to be able to draw that convincingly but i tried it a few times today.
Which artist draws the best speed lines?

Also what other tips do you guys have for drawing intense and fast action sequences?
>>2479539
The comic Luther Strode has some amazing dynamic action drawing. Especially the second volume
>>2479572
I actually own both volumes I can't wait for the third one.
>>2479572
That looks awful. I don't know if it's the art itself, or if it would look better without the awful attempt at coloring.
If /ic/ hate's Brad Rigney's latest stuff then does that mean they also hate Michael Komarck the god himself?
>If /ic/ hate's Brad Rigney's
since when?
>>2479026
since he turned into a filthy photobasher.
Can't really blame him, desu. Dude used to spend 200 hours on a single illustration and didn't use fucking references. If he found something he couldn't draw out of his head, he'd stop the illustration and study that thing until he could. At least so he says. Pretty cool if you think about it, but utterly unsustainable if you're trying to support yourself on your art.
Komarck is literally god tho, op is right. I think he's a...

OP's image is not a Komarck painting, btw. Don't know why you posted that op.

I haven't cringed this hard in years
I'm crying because this looks like Michael Cera. What a goof.

that's pretty good, and funny. I really wonder if it was intentional
I'm creating an original tattoo that I will get soon on my arm. The tattoo has two symbolic meanings 1) the day, month, year section you would find on any sort of document or form. 2) my name has a double M, and of my two brothers, their names are spelt one with double D and the other double Y.
I was thinking this would be a simple tattoo, kinda basic with the date area left blank.
I have a few (bad) drafts and would like very much for anyone to cretique my design or share any ideas. I am not much of an artist, this is the best I can come up with.
Picture...

Thanks in advance to anyone who might share some though.
Maybe a better font, but I think it should be lower case letters because the double letters are in the middle of our names
look for an alarm clock font, that would look cool.
share your favourite fantasy artworks

is that your drawing chico?

I'm looking for scientifically accurate (!) references of pre-columbian CIVs (Maya, Inca, Olmecs etc.)
I'll post what I have so far, modern interpretations are also appreciated if the style is kept close to the original art.
Why do people commit to photorealistic pencil drawings?
Isn't art supposed to be a way to express how you see things in the world? With the skill level these people have they can be making way more interesting things.
>>2479225
Because it's actually the only thing they can do with "the skill level these people have".
Copying a photo is a specialised skill, for which you don't need the huge amount of knowledge and experience you need to be able to draw something from your imagination.
So these people get stuck doing this because it's the only remotely impressive thing they can do.
Impressing normies.
They eat this shit up.
>>2479225
Normies will think that drawing is more impressive and skillfull than anything by Milt Kahl. Detail and photorealism = good. To be fair, /ic/ falls for this quit a lot as well.
