People seem to be stiffer than animals. Animals are basically huge S curves everywhere, but people have those awkward shoulders and neck-to-head placement and weird hips. I want to draw people better, is there a way to make people feel more streamlined like animals?

learn anatomy and stop drawing everything like salamanders
Maybe I should have clarified, what I mean is, can people also "flow" when drawing them? I already learned anatomy, what I would like to learn is how to draw people and have it feel more natural.
I have this pose books that aren't that good but at least can serve as reference material. 5 books covering poses on photographs (one is kinda NSFW.

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

Hello /ic/, I came to ask for a favour.
I'm making a set of images for my art class and I want one of them to be 'people generated', and since i have no friends i came here to ask for help.
Please reply to this thread by stating a colour.
I'll post results later if anyone's interested in seeing them.

who are examples of successful artists that started at a late age?
I mean, Is there any famous/decent artist that wasn't a fucking drug addict and started in their late 20s?
is there? or are they all prodigies like nowadays
>>2502808
Didn't Min Yum start pretty late? But I'm not sure if that was him or some other Korean artist
>>2502808
Brad Rigney was a hardcore alcoholic and I think only turned his life around and started art sometime in his late 20's or early 30's. El Coro was into the drug scene and turned his life around after a car of him and his friends ran over a cop, though he started in art I think in his early 20's or something, not late 20's. Min Yum started at 25. Craig Mullins only started painting at 23.
There are probably other examples but those are the ones I know off the top of my head. They are outliers for sure, but it can be done.
>>2502808
would you quit your art if we say no,
No artist, starting in their late 20's, has made it

Have you gotten to the point where you can look at your previous work without being disgusted or embarrassed?
>>2521204
Everyday.
Some old guy showed me a drawing of his and I literally made that face at it like the retard I am. He's just a nice old guy who was trying his best, worst of all is they weren't even really that bad, /ic/ just brainwashed me into getting that triggered whenever I see anything that isn't 100% Loomis. I feel fucking awful.

I don't have a class in my area, can you guys give mes some materials, books, youtube, etc. on learning the techniques of watercolor?
Also, post anything watercolor related if you like.
im trying to learn watercolor too
the biggest mistake i did was to buy cheap paper
>>2525812
I think when just starting out cheap materials are alright to learn the techniques and get a feel for how the paint works. It absolutely has to be watercolour paper though.
Better (and more expensive) paint makes a huge difference though, if anything just for how dark the pure paints are. If you use cheaper paint you'll have to add black or dark brown which tends to make the darker colours a lot less vibrant.
>>2525621
You can look up the basic techniques on youtube easily. What's more important when working with watercolours than "having the right technique" is to know when to work how. For that I suggest looking up videos of people actually painting. You need to develop a feeling for when to let your paper dry and when to work wet-on-wet and how to control the flow of the paint and water.
And please, for the love of god, never start with dark colours and use very very light pencil sketches. The paint barely masks anything.
OP do you have painting experience? If not I'd suggest you start out with gouache, which are opaque watercolours. Regular watercolours are very unforgiving and pretty much the hardest medium to make something aesthetically pleasing with, which is why I suggest you develop a feeling for painting first with a more forgiving but similar medium.
Is this Julius Caesar?
Also favorite scuplture thread.
>>2525546
i really couldnt tell you who but its not Caesar maybe Augustus?
>>2525546
Doesn't look like Caesar to me. He had a pointier chin and longer nose.
I want to start drawing. How strong do I need my computer?
>>2524857
use paper
Depends on the hardware and software you want to use.
I use Clip Studio Paint Pro and a Wacom Bamboo Capture with a laptop that has 6gb RAM and a 2.5GHz i3 processer and it works fine

>Don't use a tablet to sketch for the longest time
>Wip out an ok gesture with pencil/paper in 2 mins
>Get pic related with same pose on a tablet
What is it about the tablet? Obviously people should draw digitally, is it the lack of friction?
Most people need somewhere from a couple hours to a week to get used to the dynamic of looking at the screen cursor when you draw. Also your lines aren't as confident as they should be (or as they are in the pencil sketch).
>>2523937
hahahaha
>lack of friction
thats easily solveable. i attached a paper from my sketchbook on top of my tablet so it feels much more natural. recently tried removing it - it still feels odd to draw on that non-friction shiny area.
I've been looking for the name of "this thing" for quite sometime, its like in the photo, but cut to look kinda sketchy SO YEAH, I DON'T FUCKING KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN, HELP
A-Ha take on me?

I don't think theres a name for it, seen adverts of the same thing on tv a long time ago.
rotoscoping??
A reporter snagged this shot of Emma watsons self portrait, years ago. No she doesn't just paint self portraits she apparently had an entire apartment full of her paintings and drawings as well as things she's collected. The reporter only felt like documenting this one bc it stuck out to him. Thoughts? I think its really good emma is talented. Shes also singing in beauty and the beast, in goblet of fire she sang briefly and it was very pleasant.
>>2518675
To add this was the only self portrait of hers I didn't make that clear
>>2518675
She needs Loomis. And my dick.
>>2518675
Its really weird to see a self portrait she did of herself because she's a face that artist's love to draw all the time. Its..really strange....but interesting. To see herself experience her own super-pretty face. I wish he would have documented more artwork by her, it would have been interesting to see.
But how did he get access to this anyway?
