Hello absolute beginner who read the sticky here
I have around 3-4 hours a day that I can devote to studying and I was wondering if you guys could help me focus on a schedule that could make the most of my meager time for now. I guess in the meantime I will work on Peter Han shapes

If you read the sticky, you would know not to make your own thread. So go reread it.

I don't know what I don't know anon
I understand that the fundamentals are everything
I just don't understand how I can use my time effectively
Should I focus on just one subject for a month?
2 subjects for 2 hours each?
I don't know anon

Did you go through Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain/Keys to Drawing?
Just go through either one of the books for now. I recommend Keys to Drawing.
I think you're going to judge me harshly on this one.
I like how you put a nut sack in the middle of his face.
But anyways, what you are doing is called symbol drawing, i.e., drawing what you think something looks like instead of drawing something that you see. For example, you are representing eyes as circles and dots inside an oval.

Oh thanks, I never taught about the nut sack to be honest, lol. Is there anyway to make it a little bit better or is it fine?
>>2535488
The only way to make this better is to read the sticky, practice for a year, and then redraw this. You will be amazed at the strides you can make in one year of hard study and hard work.
The sticky mentions starting with Drawing with Right Side of Brain or Keys to Drawing. I recommend Keys to Drawing.
is this correct?

It's not ok, at least below pro level. People actually recognize trace easily and it shows that you can't into proper construction.
>>2531565
Thought it was Jeff at first lol

No. Anyone who thinks tracing actually helps at getting better is delusional.
What is the difference of blending and rendering?
Blending is about colors smoothing into one another, rendering is about defining form.
>>2535310
Any example?

Artist that strive for a airbrushed, Sakimichan look put a lot of emphasis on blending brush strokes to make everything look nice and smooth.
Is Wolfgang Beltracchi the God?

If you consider 'bitches incessantly about' to be 'appreciates' then yeah, sure.

Filigree, acanthus, floral, etc. design and drawing thread? Basically the little floral designs you see in older banknotes and legal documents, old borders, books, etc.
This is a hard subject to find material for, as it's quite old. There is one called "How to Draw an Acanthus" (can't remember the author) that is okay, but is from pre-turn of the century and somewhat cryptic. So if we could post designs we like, or even our own tips, that'd be great. I'll post some of my own designs and favorites.
Pic is one of my own pieces I've...
