Brush Pen, Colored Pencils, Oil Pastel, Pen,

The first 4- rough sketch to see how big the whole subject will be and where features will go. 4th (bottom right) is me starting to focus in on the details of the nose and right eye

Second 4- building off the finished features. Nose and right eye done, move on to left eye, then mouth, then outline of the face and adding hair details

Third 4- shading. My fav part, and the easiest. Started with the nose which had the most contrast, then the mouth. The eyes were really dark and had a lot of subtle shading around the eye bags and crease etc so I left them for last

Fourth 4- hair shading. Worst and most boring part 😅 her har was so frizzy. I looked for shapes of shadows and highlights first and then went from there. I realized I made everything very light so I kept having to go back and darken up the hair and add highlights back in over and over, and then I realized the face didn't have enough contrast so I had to keep going in and adding depth until it looked right/I lost patience.

Finished drawing, and last pic is the reference.

The reference was posted here by someone else. I thought it was an interesting photo and inspired me to draw again!

This is my first drawing in about 7 years, and my first (human) portrait in about 15 years 😭😭

Feel free to critique!!! Or ask questions 🤗🫰🏻

I don’t know how much I’m going to get blasted but it’s my first time posting and I need help. it’s my first time drawing and learning. Anyone have any good tips, vids, any other good book suggestions to learn how I can draw furries, armor, Warhammer or general cool stuff?

Just simple exploration of the topic of armor constructions and shiny metal.

This is the academic method; the one that masters from Michelangelo to Picasso learned.

Gesture drawing.

These photos are in order by duration: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 20 minutes, 8 hour Bargue Plate study, ~20 hour Bargue Plate study.

I cannot stress the importance of studying from life consistently and rigorously. If you don't have people to model for you, try https://line-of-action.com (I have used this website in undergrad and professors recommend it).

I prefer the bean method, but there is also the box method.

If anyone needs help please feel free to dm me.

I’ve been watching art tutorials and sometimes i watch them when they pop up on my feed. One thing I notice is that they fill out the character completely in one color (such as gray) then start to color. What is the reasoning behind this, and how can I do this too? This picture is a screenshot from a YouTuber, Marc Brunet.

Hi! I tried this exercise today and I was so surprised about how much it helped me improve. I did both drawings today, and the only difference was adding the scale from my notebook by taking a photo of the page with my phone and using canva to make it 50% opacity and overlay on my reference photo. I'm quite proud of the results and thought I would share. Any tips on how to improve the likeness are appreciated!

I often find these various approaches to sketching easy to confuse with each other, so I made these quick reference examples!

Hi everyone, can you recommend any books or tutorials on how to draw black and white pictures and understand how to cross hatch them? I know that most people do cross hatching based on shape, but I've seen artists who know how to do it properly. I've also watched videos about line art many times. About line weight etc. I decided to try it on paper and also digitally later. I made a sketch in pencil, but I think if I'll line art, it won't look good. Should I also pay attention to shadows? Or just learn how to cross hatch basic forms like cubes, cylinders etc. Thx

I know it's the hip and I tried to draw it, but I don't quite understand its structure. Any help in understanding it better would be greatly appreciated.

If you know who she is PLEASE TELL ME! I found the ref, but couldn’t find her personally! Ah well, I’m proud of the result <3

Some names may differ from programme to programme.

I use clip art studio.

It is important to have a solid grey with a V as close to 50% as you can-- on a the square at the center of your color wheel, you have to go all the way to the left. Make sure that it is vertically in the middle. I think I got a V of 47% here.

At step seven, I only used multiply( for extra shadows on lips/neck), glow dodge, and a tone curve.

Someone had asked me to show how i draw hands and feet, sometimes i can get carried away with some of them Lol.

i found this timelapse of sarcophage11km on twitter and ive been trying to learn the construction of the model for a couple of weeks with no success. I've been looking at different anatomy books (tb choi, taco and tomfoxdraws) to better understand the process of the video but i still dont know if it's a knowledge issue or a practice issue.

I deleted the previous post because i posted it incomplete
