Anyone else feel like they need to lose weight since getting into drawing?
I just eel so fat compared to the characters I draw.
Sometimes I want to get fit so I can use my body as an anatomy ref, but that's about it.
>>2348387
kek i thought i was the only one
>>2348380
I started to pay more attention to my health after started drawing, before I would even care if I brushed my teeth
>>2348443
thats disgusting anon
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be healthy. It's natural and even more so if you're a healthy sexual being.
I went from a skinny 125 to a trim and muscular 170 when trying to understand anatomy better by working out extensively. I was my own anatomy reference for years. I also got a lot more attention even though my face is forgettable.
On the plus side you'll feel better, have more confidence, move without joint or ligament pains. Diet precedes a health body and you will feel like you have 100 times more energy. As a female, your waist will be smaller, ass more tone, more endurance for fucking longer if you have the right partners.
TL:DR? It's easy if you have self discipline.
>>2348380
I lost weight after looking at so many gorgeous models, now I'm not /fit/ but I'm in decent shape, I keep a big mirror in my room for reference.
>All these faggots claiming to be in shape and muscular
I call bullshit, post your bods.
>>2348380
Yup.
I was a /fit/izen pre-Quazimodo Era. Learning about muscles and fine motor movements has helped with lifting and learning anatomy for drawing, for sure. I use myself as a reference every now and then, but I'm still a little pudgy for my liking (cardio ensues).
If anyone on /ic/ is curious, just read the sticky on /fit/ and maybe look into the Question's Thread and Routine Inspection; the rest of the board has gone straight to hell with shit/pol/sting and stereotypical douchebag shit.
>mfw thinking about Bridgman's drawings on the treadmill to understand the milf's ass on the treadmill in front of me
Actually i was naturally more able in physical exercise so I always kept doing it. Drawing exhausted me after only a couple sketches, but my endurance for physical pain was better. It also kept my confidence up.
>>2348510
With the Rocky soundtrack handy anybody can get in shape.

Been into fitness for years now and im really glad i knew about anatomy and how muscles work since it helps me alot while studying anatomy and tryin to git gud.
So, is this a thing with art? I've recently started more healthy since I took up drawing. I'm not fit or anything, but I've lost a lot of fat.
>>2348670
I think it is because as an artist that studies the human body you start to see how beautiful it is which makes you more aware of how disgusting your shapeless body is. When ever I try to photocopy a pretty celebrity I end up viewing them to be 10x prettier than when I started drawing them.
My wife said I'm fat
>>2348676
Tell her you'll get in shape if she'll take out her breasts when washing dishes.
>>2348380
No, I've never been fat. I've actually been trying really hard lately to gain weight. Makes me wonder just how much you have to eat to become obese.
>tfw I lost quite a lot of weight since I learned some basic health stuff on a random ocassion
>tfw still feel like shit because manboobs won't go away, probably gyno or whatever it's called
>tfw even after getting fit I could easily be a walking joke and I wouldn't possibly know, so I'm still scared
Hey /fit/ people, does anybody know this crap gets any better if I gain more muscles and a healthier body? or would these evil pieces of crap stay there even after the change of the underlaying structure?
>>2348380
how does it feel to finally realize how disgusting you are?
>>2348695
i barely even fucking moved the first 17 years of my life and i was skinny as fuck. It helps when your mom goes on family diets and nobody in the house but you can cook decently though.
Hate to say it, because i fucking hate fat people, but i think its mostly genetic for people like us.
But if youre fat theres no fucking reason for that and fuck off.
>>2348676
you've already trapped her but know that shell get just as fat as you out of spite.
>>2348696
ask fit they must know, obviously if you get fucking ripped then your manboobs wont pop out anymore even if they miraculously stayed
If anyone wants to know how to get in shape:
>squats 4xweek
>bench 2xweek
>overhead 2xweek
>drink a gallon of whole milk a day
>reap the benefits of your newfound aesthetics
>>2348738
*milk
s.m.h.
>>2348728
>gallon of milk a day
>how do I into diabeetus?
>>2348740
>not having an extremely debilitating medical condition
It's like you don't even want to be taken seriously as an artist.
>>2348728>>2348728
>one gallon of milk per day
I do not recommend this. I drank consistently around 3/4 of gallon per day back in middle school and it did worse for my growth. (and I did do 1-2 hours of sport per day because it was mandatory in our school) What happened was:
I eventually began to be lactose intolerant to dietary product after 6 months and went to see the doctor because apparently my milk consumption was so overboard that my stomache had trouble on digesting all those fatty molecule so much that it sent a signal stop ingesting it. I then became known as the Farting one because every 20 minutes I would fart so badly that the school eventually specially ordered soy milk for me. luckily my peers were mostly understandable as they have witnessed my milk conquest every morning so they knew but were still kinda pissed off every time i fart...
and about the growth schtick... I was 12 at the time so after the first 4 months I've grown 2 inches but after that there hasn't been any sign of growth at all even if I drank soy milk everyday. I've been the same height until I became 18 but only grew half an inch and it stopped right there. I did sport regularly back then so I can say that it was more genes than anything when it comes to height growth than milk consumption. But if you want muscles it should be not calcium but protein that you should be looking for.
>>2348757
Milk has a lot of protein in it, that's the point of drinking a lot of it to begin with
>2.5 inches over at least six years
Are you a vegetarian by chance? A shitty diet with no animal protein and too much cardio would definitely stunt your growth.
>>2348380
Do you have any more, op? I really like looking at...that figure...
>>2348765
I ate meat like a caveman plus a balance of everything else, played basketball since middle school and went into bodybuilding the senior year of high school.
I still remained at 5'10". Sometimes no matter how hard you want to be tall and how much you try to fool fate, your body understand you live in a tropical climate metropoli, not the fucking highlands, so 5'10" is more than enough.
>>2348775
Oh you're 5'10? That's normal, and if you live in a tropical climate you're probably a brown person too so you're likely taller than most of your peers lol. If you were 5'7 when you were 12 that's huge.
>>2348380

Feels good mane, you should give it a shot.

I guess so? Though it was mostly just the fat guy titties.
>>2348974
I don't know where you come from, but where I come from, figure drawing models are 95% ugly.
>>2348757
Sounds like you just stopped growing, and are short. Milk isn't gonna stunt your growth. I was my full height at 14.
>calcium/protien
Milk has the most protien per $ except maybe protein powder.
>>2350139
hi newfag
>>2348797
ITT: you like drawing lolis, yet you will never have a loli body because of your childbearing hips and size c breasts.
>>2350181
They call athletes at our place from time to time, it's better for studying anatomy.
>>2350342
>even mere thought of getting live reference material is considered crime in your country

Anyone else feel like they need to gain muscles since getting into drawing?
I just feel so thin compared to the characters I draw.
>>2348380
Anyone else feel like they need to enlarge their eyes since getting into drawing?
I just feel so 3dpd compared to the characters I draw.
>>2348380
Are you a grill?
pls be my gf....once you get /fit/
>>2348387

I wish pixelovely had more body shapes. I'm tired of the repeating images, but I love the class mode.
>>2352223
the idea is correct, its a good idea to learn how to draw wrinkles, fat, and other imperfections you don't always get with skinny/not-fat sized models. And when working with photographs people have a tendency to only keep the ones that they find attractive.
however, the fact he's only posting old, fat, and generally unattractive people ruins that because he's missing gigantic swaths of body types by focusing on these in particular.
>>2352390
I was posting those because they're far more rare than skinny/attractive. I could post all my skinny and attractive as well but everybody with a reference collection has a ton of those already.
>>2352397
then spam your shit in a reference thread and not here.
>>2352399
You're too fun.
>>2352320
yeah, I had to get a human anatomy for artists accuont for a month and just swipe anything interesting before I canceled it.
>>2348380
YES.
Absolutely.
I'm doing it now.
Anyone wanna have a get git/get fit buddy?

Feels good.

>>2352947
Not that guy, but thanks for showing me this channel.
>>2352390
Why spend time drawing ugly things when you can draw attractive things?
>>2353011
To be challenged and master the craft rather than draw self fulfilling fluff all the time.
I work as a bicycle courier so I can eat candy or chips every day :^)
You should lose weight anyway for your own good you fat fuck.
>>2348380
>I just eel so fat compared to the characters I draw
Me too... being a fat eel in this thin humanoid stereotyped world sucks, brah.
>>2353011
Because if that's all you do you're either a 16 year old or making work for 16 year olds like half the shit passed around here.
>>2353011
What appeals to you is 1 thing, and its perfectly fine to draw that. However, its important to be well rounded.
For example, say you only practice drawing thing cute girls, now suddenly you need to draw a guy fighting a giant pig monster.
You have no idea how to draw well defined muscles or masculine features, you have no idea how to draw the fat overlaps on the pig monster or how to draw him with distasteful features. You can look up references and have a general idea how to do it, but when putting it into practice it will be painfully obvious for everyone to see.
This is not to say you shouldn't draw attractive people, but you should be able to draw both ends of the spectrum if you expect to get anywhere beyond drawing animus all day.
>>2352223
Grow up.

there's more to art than boners

I know this wasnt the purpose for these figures but uh...thanks...
>>2348471
my dick only gets semi think years of porn and wanking off ave killed it, i just dont get aroused anymore, even loli shit dont do it, had a tight girl on me once too at a party had to politely reject her so she didnt find out ima limp dick, shit is killing me how to get hard again?? People i know said stop watching porn and dont jerk it will come back over time
>>2348380
I wish my hands look nicer and have longer fingers and more defined bone structure. My hands are small and featureless save for for a shitload of scrapes.
>>2357059
yeah being an artfag fucks your hands up. I almost always have a scrape or cut on my hand and have a shit ton of scars. I do a lot of sculpture though.
>>2353011
you must be such an incredibly boring person to be around

I considered using my body as a reference, but then I remembered I wanted to draw attractive people.
>>2352397
It's odd how many photos of real people would be criticized for poor anatomy if they were drawn, particularly if stylized.
I've noticed this problem when looking for reference. It really is hard to find pictures that both look aesthetically appealing and anatomically correct.
I can't focus myself because I have a fetish for ugly girls and older women
fuck you
>>2357789
Yes there's a lot of factors that lead into that problem. The vast majority of still images of nude women are photoshopped, very specifically lit, airbrushed with makeup, and are of people who look attractive in 2 dimensions. It distorts and replaces any image of what people actually looks like. It's what I mean when I say that it's important to have a verity of references so you don't loose sight of this.
The notion of simulacrum no longer applies when the image in our minds of the real has been replaced by the fake.
>>2358353
Are you fucking serious?
>>2348380
That woman is a goddess
>>2352399
God forbid someone interrupts a thread about fitness with something actually useful for art.
>>2357427
Oh my god.
That is some seriously nasty psoriasis. Woman legit needs to see a doctor.
>>2348380
Browsing /ic/ and /fit/ has made me gay.

If you're only drawing skinny people you're not keeping yourself well rounded as an artist. What'll you do when you need to draw a fat person for a project?
But yeah I have the same problem regardless. It's easier to find references that are one body type and just..bleh.
but its probably a good thing, let it motivate you. Why be unhealthy?
>>2348380
Yep everytime
