>>6474 WIP

>>6479 nvm

>practice thread lets go

>>6616 Well done lad. Try and use the side of your pencil a little more, it'll give you some nice line variation.

hi, i'm new here, it's really cool to see so many talented people posting here (specially compared to /ic/ 4chan, that place sucks), even if the board is dead. These are some studies i did today visiting Bridgman a second time

>>6625 Nice Bridgmans anon

>>6619 thx good idea

>>6625 nice organic contours and shapes of the body the shape seems natural.

>>6646 Very nice copy, very nearly spot on. Your observational drawing skills are coming up very well

>>6648 yeah, thx . looking back at it the left eye is cramped at the outer end of the eye lmao

>>6653 I don't know how you've done this, but the references are squished, you've drawn them pretty accurately but they're literally skewed-and a lot. My friend actually pointed this out and I didn't realize it because I was more focused on your work and assumed it was camera distortion.

>>6654 yeah they cramped. Thanks for pointing it out. I went resized most of the references now. do they look better?

>>6656 They're fine now, you can find the .pdfs on archive.org though

>>6663 Really good, that damn angle from the camera though

>>6664 thx lol I create my own new problems with basic photo skills with strange camera angles

on that skully grind. The forth one is a WIP. drew the skulls from a book with photos of skulls I used as the refernces. ngl it's a big book. I might post some references if u wanna see lemme know

>>6693 Hell yeah bro, skulls are a bitch to draw but they really help out with faces and look nice when you get the hang of them. Looks like you're making good progress, don't forget to try drawing from different angles (up/down/diagonally) and from the back.

>>6697 thx anon

>>6693 Make sure to make use of that 3D model pastebin lad. Some choice skulls in there

>>6702 yes sir

figure drawing from a page out of a playboy magazine

>>6711 Proportions aren't bad but are a bit off. See if you can step back and see what I'm talking about on your own Try using a wood pencil instead of a mechanical/drafting pencil and use its side so you can get some line variation in there. Also, check out "Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching" on youtube and follow along. Follow along (with your mechanical pencil this time) and you'll develop more confident line work in general quickly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMC0Cx3Uk84

>>6711 >>6712 Seconding your comment on proportions (even if I like the fact you've made her hips larger). Business idea: you can also compare angles. Most look fine to me, but compare the angle of her back in the photo and your drawing.

>>6712 >>6715 thx I will keep these things in mind

Made by tracing some AI as base. Been trying for many decades to actually learn how to draw and can't figure out.

>>6723 MY TRUE AND TRIED "HOW-TO-DRAW-GOOD-AND-TRUE" TECHNIQUE for free to you, to you from me 1. DRAW FROM LIFE 2. HAVE FUN

>>6729 Alright then, I'll try to look at naked men and women to see if I don't create shameful abominations.

skully bois

>>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: | | | | | | | | | |

>>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.

currently practicing perspective

>>6770 Good work, keep workin' Look into Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching videos and do the exercises to help your manual dexterity better. Also I'd recommend nothing short of a large-size tablet so there isn't that huge disconnect between what you're seeing on the screen and what you're doing with your hand

>>6772 Thank you I'll check those out, I've been looking at Ernest R. Norlings Perspective made easy book for my studies
