>>6758 > Do you have any advice for exercises I could do or copy that would help me with that? For me "Scott Robertsons How to Draw" helped me tons with that. I think practicing simpler designs with a lot of focus on keeping the three-dimensionality of the details helps a lot. Also, just using thin lines and maybe very selectively making a line thicker or fade into a shadow shape.

>>6758 Focusing on keeping the structure and perspective of details intact is what I would focus on during practice for some time.

>>6340 AI is only an issue for stupid gay illustrators. And I'm being very specific when I say illustrators, because they are soulless faggots that only create stock images. Artists need not fear AI, since, like anons say, its about the creative process as a hobby and also the fact that if you are creating art professionally no AI can replicate a human because AI is homogeneous. Even if it is trained on your works it will only ever be able to create a middle-of-the-road derivative of you. But you alone can create a new and unique artwork.

>>6744 It's good that you're trying but you're missing a lot of the nuance in the details. Really be mindful of the shape of the contours in things like the hollow in the skull where the cartilage of the nose is affixed. When it comes to the teeth and other similar , repetitious details here's a tip: measure in halves. Start with the full width of the area, then dividing that in half and then those halves into quarters and less. I've found this to be the best way to get an accurate approximation. So like this: | | | | | | | | | |

Anonymous 09/06/2024 (Fri) 22:43:42 No. 6757

>>6750 thx for the tips. I'll keep them in mind going forward. My teeth need better spacing & variety in size. Lack of depth inside the nose depicting a hole hollowness is missing. Awesome tips, I appreciate it.

Has anyone ever actually done this? It seems like it's a little too advanced for the instructions he gives you previously. Like the fenceposts are in single point perspective while everything else is in two point and I think all but the first part are going towards a false horizon. Thoughts? Any brave Anons out there who've already traversed this and have any advice?

Is there someone wants to donate this book so I can disassemble the spine and scan it? I used to have this book but it went missing when I move out from my old apartment to a smaller room. It already took up space before so a digital copy would be nice but for some reason, there's no ebook from the official publisher. I've been searching every nook of chans and normet socials and none of them have the scanned book so I guess I need to start it myself then. I'll give my contact if someone interested to participate in this because I have the access to an library archive scanner.

Learning how to draw in 6 easy steps Anonymous 03/15/2021 (Mon) 17:58:18 No. 1991 [Reply] [Last]

>What is the purpose of this thread? The point of this thread is to establish for people the foundations of what is required in order to become a great artist. The people this thread is best aimed at are those so-called "experts" wanting to get back to the basics, or newcomers wanting to know how to start their journey towards becoming an artist. >Does the "six steps" mean I will become a great artists within the week? No. The purpose of the "six steps" is to establish a foundation for all art and drawing. You're not going to become an expert overnight because drawing is a skill that you need to develop over time. However, it's pointless to constantly bang your head against a wall for hours on end because that will do nothing except burn yourself out and become frustrated. To put it one way, it's a better learning process to spend 10 days sketching for an hour than spend one day sketching for 10 hours. >So, how does the "six step" process work? All you do is spend 15-60 hours everyday, drawing each successive step of the process. That's it. >What happens if I miss a day You just continue on with the next day as if nothing every happened. Spending double the time is not going to make up for the day that you lost. >What if I just don't feel like doing it one day? If you don't "feel" like it, learn to work through it because what you're doing is building a habit. If you're still having a "hard time", just get out your supplies, and set them up as if you were going to still practice. If you're still not "feeling it", perhaps drawing isn't your thing and you need to find a new hobby. >How was this process developed? Referring to resources that other artists have recommended in regards actually learning how to draw. So, here we go...

Anonymous 03/15/2024 (Fri) 06:22:17 No. 6676

>>6675 >the more time you can spend the better That is just my way of getting myself into the rhythm of things. Start off with really small time investments then once I get into it more, I can put more time in. I've noticed if I start out trying to force an hour+ a day learning whatever, I'll quickly start viewing it as a chore and not something that I want to do for fun which will kill it for me.

>>6674 My wife has tried this method for the past two months and the improvements she made is terrific. However, your best bet when hitting an art block where you don't achieve any further improvements is to try and draw something completely different from what you're trying to learn. Like switching from faces to still life for a week.

>>6651 That's the plan. Got a piece of mahogany just big enough to cut in half, glue together and turn into a guitar body (plus squashed headstock depending on if I do an extreme cutaway (picrel). Would like to have a go at a 7 string 26.5 inch scalelength guitar, but finding exact measurements to start with the body (rather than placing the bridge after having a completed neck) is proving difficult. Might have to sneak a ruler into a guitar shop. I could start with the dragons, might have to. If that means nothing to non guitarfags it's because I don't know what I'm doing.
