Dump any sketchbook pages you have saved. God-tier or student-tier, doesn't matter. Digital or traditional. Who cares.
Just need inspiration, like the rest of you.

This thread has me so hard
I have a great book of excerpts from the sketchbooks of contemporary architects. When I get home I might take some shots.
>>2370093
I absolutely love black and white graphite on brown paper.
reminds me of renaissance studies, real nice.

I'm student not good
Felt good to be in a studio with other artists after what felt like forever. There were so many talented artists there I couldn't believe it. I hope i get to speak with them sometime.

Wow I actually know what technique you used there, reading is pretty awesome.
Just finished 2 sec ago
>>2372154
4 hr pose.
>>2375018
4? jesus
>>2375018
How long have you been drawing? Honestly, that's pretty bad for 4 hours. It's not terrible, though (eh), so don't give up.
>>2375018
okay its not terrible but nigga 4 hours is alot for that.
>>2375018
Try doing some simple still life stuff, fruits, vases, casts. Really render the crap out of them, get the values smooth and accurate.
>>2370080
Is that Karl Kopinski by any chance? I love his work.
>>2375528
No. That's either Daniel Chavez or Tahir Tanis.
>>2375018
Th3 studio head is awesome. He noticed I was having trouble with the longer poses and made the poses shorter so I could practice my gesture drawings. 1 of 6

>>2376083
>>2370092
Any guides or books to shade better like that?
>>2376097
practice a lot, draw large, use smooth paper and make use of different strenght pencils to better control the value you put down. don't be a fucking idiot like me and use 4b pencils exclusively thinking you can control the value with drawing pressure. does not work.

Persistence is a good quality, but if you can tell it's going south it would be best to identify the problems and redraw them, rather than polish them. It's an easy trap to fall into.
>>2376772
Good advise. I didn't look at it as polishing a turd which is exactly what I did. I'll keep that in mind next time.
A ball point freestyle.
Spray can monster. I really botched it even before I got to finish with the ink shooting out of the cap.
Any tips/critique
It was draw as I go.

Jesus how many of you faggots have gone to art school/ currently studying? I'm 22 years old and self taught. Should I study or just give up? Figured since the majority of posts in this thread are realism id contribute with something that isn't.
>>2379503
If it's not shading what he fuck would you call it.
God, you sound like a pretentious cunt
>>2379528
He's fucking with you. And there are no guides, you just keep trying to do it until you do it, and then you keep doing it. It's all practice and observation, there are no shortcuts when it comes to values.
>>2379531
I'm not the same anon that shit just pisses me off.

you are not shit, honey. just different :) . At least is less mainstream that realistic drawings :/
Im from 9th grade
hand studies / the only halfway decent hands I've managed to draw :<
Feedback? Was bored last night
>>2380817
It's shit.
Just sketched this. How long does it take to git gud when you really don't have time to practice?
>>2380849
You really messed up the ear, but it's nice otherwise. You should finish it.
>>2380856
Yeah, if I continued, I would touch up the eyes, ears, and such. It just takes too much time.
>>2379517
Anyone? <.<
>>2379517
i really like this.
I'm actually happy
I'll be cool one day
I feel like i've hit a brick wall with sketching
how can I break through this skill wall? I dont feel like I'm learning anything from simply drawing from life any more
Stop drawing from life and try something else.
>>2381339
what else can i do but draw from life or imagination?
>>2381339
yeah! I see such a lack of creativity an imagination in most of this sketchbooks.
>>2381324
maybe stop sketching and finish/render something. Nice work tho.
>>2376084
I'm definately seeing some improvement week to week.
>>2381653
>>2381656
>>2381657
>>2381658
The guys seemed to like this one as much as I did which was good.
>>2381188
Yay someone likes my stuff :D thanks anon
>>2381311
why is it i never see any quality art with this choice of aesthetic is because people who draw like this just spend all their time doing loops instead of learning?
>>2381833
because of polished shit
just like your stuff
some work for school ( cutting, research, etc. )
idek
>>2381661
I think I just needed to get used to my materials. I don't even recognize my drawings from 3 weeks ago haha.
Seriously why aren't you guys life drawing?
>>2382489
I won't hijack the thread this time. Only upping the 3 long poses. This one was 5 min
>>2382493
Last one. Even had time to scribble in a face.
>>2381459
thanks
>>2381311
Really nice, love your style
>>2382496
You're getting a lot better anon, keep at it. Really need to work on faces, though.
>>2370093
sauce on this one please.
top is saul goodman
bottom is from imagination
i'm still pretty new senpai
>>2384389
You are going to need to fill sketchbooks to improve anon. Not even kidding. If you can manage 2 pages of a bigger sketchbook every day then you will improve. Right now those look like a mess.
>>2384416
okay I'm not even 10% through my first sketchbook yet and I have been drawing 2 or more a day. I have my big sketch book for real world / better pictures.
I'm still reading Keys to Drawing
>>2371458
nice, really like the cape
>>2384648
>>2384642
gonna dump some more old pages of mine that I like
>>2384652
>>2384655
Last one for now. I really need to get back on some watercolor, it's been way too long and it's really fun.
>>2384658
love this
>>2384418
2 pages a day. In a bigger sketchbook than that.
ms paint is my sketch book
>>2370538
you pice of cuck! wheres the link?
When I draw landscapes with no refs I lean towards this weird plate-like terrain.
>>2385317
it's weird, but I like it
>>2376596
>that rifle and pose
Anon, please reference next time?
>>2385406
damn thats you senpai?
>>2384655
What type of scanner do you have?
>>2381324
This is good. I wish I was at this level.
>>2385441
why would i ref a 20 second scribble?
>>2385398
>>2385489
for an understanding of what it is you want to represent, dummy
>>2381324
>not learning from drawing from life
>drawings arent from life
>>2382496
yeah i dig this one. that eye tho. i like your style but when in doubt less is usually more
>>2370538
link pls
>>2385689
Ignoring the face isn't helping me "draw the face". I can gesture a body like a mother fucker but my faces need improvement. That means I have to try to keep scribbling them in and sucking at it for a while.
>>2370538
Where did you find it?
>>2376131
Beautiful
Maybe there is no dark side of the moon
>>2381324
Try using a different style. Draw from imagination. Your work is really good
>>2385464
it's an Epson 3170 Photo
>>2385601
seriously mate, its a sketch page that is literally for penning out ideas quickly, now why would i go to the hastle of looking up an AKM and pretty much do a study of one when all i wanted to do was depict some russian looking fellow holding an AKM, you obviously knew it was a rifle, so my goal is complete, thats the meaning of a sketch.
if i was to do a study of the rifle thats another thing.
i just wanted to get the basic idea fro a future work quickly on paper.
key word = quickly.
you literal retard.
>>2385601
>post your work
>>2386226
Just go to one of your local figure drawing sessions (or all of them in my case haha) and fill pages in that sketch book of yours. If something is giving you a hard time like the head (look up how to's for it online and fill a few pages with the problem area. Then go back to the figure drawing studio and impliment what you learned. That's what I'm doing anyway.
>>2382496
If you sat in the chair. You were getting drawn.
>>2386706
>I've got you right where I want you sir
>>2386335
I was mostly poking fun, and the ref should have been more for the pose than the raifu. An accurate gesture/posture for the guy would be an improvement, at the cost of a few seconds to find some pic of a dude holding a gun, maybe on your phone or some other form of easy-access niggertech.
>>2386951
nigger, you are wrong.
post your work.
>inb4 merc
>>2386951
do you know what a "sketch" is.
its literally something you put no effort into to capture a potential idea, this is a sketchbook thread.
not a study thread.
>>2386978
Do you really want to get into a semantic argument over what it means to sketch? A rough drawing to convey an idea for later use doesn't have to be unreferenced, especially if you aren't referencing anything directly, but rather trying to distil something from reality for future use, ie how certain long firearms are held.
>>2386988
>getting this autistic about how a shitty sketch of a firearm should be held.
looks like that other anon is just better than you and you are jelly.
you should post your un-refed sketches and prove me wrong.
>>2386991
Why would "y'know this would have been nicer with a ref" be a statement of jealousy? Frankly your retarded backlash is the most autistic thing here.
It's been a while since i've sketched anything. This took me about 10m. One of the slave races from an project when I attended art school.
>>2386999
post. your. sketches.
>>2387159
You should start caring about your line quality.
A lot of these sketch pages look really well composed, and that's a terrible thing for me to tell any beginner artist
I hope they get many likes on your insta, because god forbid working if not for likes

>>2379528
you don't have to call it anything
>>2387279
why not practice composition while you are at it. Because god forbid you try to make something look good

Hey man what set of water colors do you have?
Also what dimension of sketchbook
This thread is awesome
>>2388971
right on senpai
>>2389213
These images are from 3 different sketchbooks, I'm pretty sure I used cotman or winsor newton watercolors
>>2388701
if you dont mind anon what was your practice like to draw faces? im having troubles even after reading books on the subject. did you just grind out different studies for a while?
i really like how clean your lines are, too
>>2389348
Thanks, my friend
>>2389547
no, I have done only 2 studies in my life and they're not even finished, but they were not for practicing the head. Used the first tutorial from loomis, you know that ball that is cut up at the edge, center line is for eyebrows etc. I did not keep reading even though loomis tutorials are god tier because I wanted to build my own style of doing faces. kept drawing from imagination using that. this is mportant though, say, when you look at a face, ANALYZE it. don't just look at it, look at the wrinkles, from where they start to where they end, what shape does the undernose have, philtrum etc. That's what makes my style I think, very little lines that show much.
that's literally all I did, eveytime I saw a face, in a movies, life etc, I just picked up more and more details. kept drawing from imagination and from imagination only.
if you want to use refs you absolutely can, it's just that I wanted to be able to draw faces from imagination in any position. also, my faces only recently got good, or "better" at least, because I focused too much on anatomy.
pic related is last summer, I wasn't very good for womenly faces.
>>2390050
any time
>>2390192
>>2370075
I'm happy to see some real talent and skill in these threads.
As for me, just working on faces and practicing stylization at the same time.
Recent ones.
I keep telling myself that I should start drawing from imagination.
But I've became so comfortable with reference sketch so much.
Frustration comes soon after I start doing imagination.
I know it's because I'm not familiar with enough. but frustration is real.
Habit is devastating sometimes.
>>2393573
Do you find that starting from a more static imagined pose and moving it in your head for more dynamic stuff helps?
>>2372168
>been gone for 2 months

>>2393573
I wish I had shapes like yours.
Do you purposely outline the shadow shapes instead of using value?
I see a lot of artists do that it it's really striking. I love it.
Keep it up.
Doodled this when I was drunk. Should I kill myself /ic?
>>2393710
no just practice more
>>2393710
please PLEASE learn to re size your images.
I'm on a 50" tv and it take more then that to show the full image at 1080p.
>>2393714
Sorry senpai. I posted this from my phone and normally it turns pictures sideways. So I tried to crop it and stuff.
>>23937100
>Doodled
you might as well just stop now
>>2393701
Thank you. Compliment means a lot to me :)
I'm heavily interested in stylistic form and cartoonish feeling. So usually, value is not my concern. But It is important thing so I just put indication where's shadow and where's not.
how do you guys manage to zoom only when its needed ?
Ancient, cleaned up and isolated.
But still from my Sketchbook.
>>2393714
Iol at the thought of that retarded drummer boy sketch coming up on a 50 inch tv
