I can never seem to find myself ever finishing any of the work that I start. My sketch book is just full of sad, disembodied heads all looking to the left at the same 3/4 angle and chicken scratch. I want to do more, but whenever I start to dwell out of my comfort zone I start to get discouraged because I'm so hyper-critical of what I do and if it doesn't come out the way that I'd hoped I end up giving up and starting on another thing that I'll also never finish. I don't know what to do and it's bumming me out a little.
Anonymous 07/04/17 (Tue) 06:27:50 AM 609
>>608 The way I'm finding to combat the issue of being hyper-critical is trying to focus on the current drawing, line by line or shape by shape. Shutting out other feelings like anxiety over the end result or future drawings and external stimuli (aside from music) makes it a lot easier to focus on actually drawing and not critiquing yourself.
It's easier said than done and is basically cognitive behavioral therapy-lite, but it's really helping.
Anonymous 07/04/17 (Tue) 09:34:50 PM 611
>>609 Being in the moment rather than in my head is something that I tend to struggle with in general but learning how to combat that issue with drawing might be a good first baby step if that makes any sense. Drawing is something that I do for leisure anyway whenever I can find the time, so it sucks when it starts to feel like what I'm supposed to be doing for fun is a chore. I guess I just need to ease up and learn not to take things so seriously. I need to remember that a fun sketch should just be a fun sketch. I really appreciate the advice, anon.

i'd move the eyes a bit closer together and generally readjust some proportions of the face. your shading and colouring looks nice. try incorporating more colours into the skin, it makes it look more alive. i use purples for shadows and blue/yellow for highlights.

>>842 It feels like you're moving straight into colouring when you're not even sure where the planes of his face are. It's fine if you're going for a stylized look, but you've got that pillow shading curse. You haven't decided what's dark and what's light, everything's just ambiguously illuminated.
Ditch colour for a bit and focus on constructing through laying down your darkest areas and lightest areas first. Keep it up anon.
>>799 >>800 >>801 Whilst you're a bit more advanced than other anon, you could stand to gain from similar advice.
As for specific anatomy issues, the area where the nose meets the brow bone is something you should do some research of. Obviously this varies across faces but the grey sketches have picked up a cow-like look from the nose bridge being the same width and level from brow to tip. Often there is shade below the brow bone, or only the very height of the now is highlighted. Also focus on hands and feet now, you've included the most minimal attempts at hands. You'll feel so accomplished when you progress.

>>947 Not the same anon, but planes on a face in like which part of the face stands out (taller, like a nose) and which sunks into the face (cheek hollows, for example)
You need to understand that better to understand how light affects the face and creates shadows. Pic related, you can clearly tell what are the planes of Abe's face; the nose in very tall and the cheeks are very sunken, creating distinct shadows and highlights.

>>954 Really? I'm glad someone feels the same way. I'm definitely more interested in traditional art it's just I wish I was able to draw or paint without the proportions looking all wonky. I think a lot of online tutorials are very mathmatical and I don't understand them (like a body is made up of 8 heads and your forearm is the same width as your foot and your nose has to be even with the bottom of your ears…doesn't that defeat the purpose of being creative? if you're just measuring things out all day?) I feel like I draw like a child even though I'm trying my hardest. As a teen, I used to draw every single day and I never progressed. It was like people were seeing something that I wasn't. Like they could see the drawing on the page and they were just tracing it or something?
I'd love to just forget about it and get into computer programming or leaning off dates in history as a hobby but that's just not who I am, I know I'm creative.
It's like having a deep, deep urge to draw but you've had your dominant hand tied behind your back your whole life.

But if you really want to paint-draw, then try to use the grid at first and slowly try to use it less and less, that way it will teach you and give the feeling of proportions.

>>973 Nose bridge should be narrower and she is super expressionless which is almost non-existing in real life so it looks plastic and her hair face is weirdly shifting, but that just might be photo angle.
Try to learn expressions, better shading (towards he tip the shadow should be lighter and not the same), to me it mostly looks like wrong values and depth. Observe where the shadows are more dark, where they are more light, remember what kind of light you are drawing (soft - means soft shadows, sharp - some shadows have sharp edges), plus remember there are no completely straight lines in human (moreover woman) body, even eyelashes has to be little curled (side note on the eyelashes, they are too dark and thick).

Anonymous 08/22/17 (Tue) 01:32:11 PM 1006
>>1005 Oh, thanks, anon! I am no professional obviously, but I think that the keys for doing watercolor are patience and a good paper. Otherwise, yeah, no way.
You also have to plan already which colors you want and where you want them; shadows, highlights, etc. I mean, of course, you have to do that with basically any art piece, but with watercolors is especially true since some stuff you can't redo very well, like for example, if you apply a darker color and end up regretting it because the palette doesn't look nice.
I always use a lot of water on my watercolors, so the thicker the paper, the better, at least for me. It's very good to use lots of water when trying to make a flatter color. Also, painting one parte of the piece at a time is also important, that's why you gotta be patience: if you paint more than one, unless they are very distant in the picture, the water is going to mix together and the colors are going to mix as well, making it very messy and ugly (unless that's what you are going for, of course). Same goes for when applying shadow to something: you gotta wait for it to completely, or almost completely dry. The thicker the paper, the quicker it's gonna dry, but it's still longer than waiting for markers to dry, for example. Also, I'd recommend having at least 3 different sizes of brushes; large, medium, and small. Especially the large one. If you try to paint a large area with a smaller pencil, it's gonna turn out very patchy, especially if you use a dryer watercolor method.
Also, always go from light to dark. I guess that's kinda obvious, but I've encountered some people that didn't know that rule. Another reason why it's important to plan ahead where every shadow is gonna be. If you try to do it on the go, it can turn out not so great (unless you are very very pro, I guess)
I make small studies like the one above to remind me myself of all that, and then apply it on a larger scale.
Sorry for the wall of text lol Hope any of that helps

I do bigger pieces, but usually no bigger than an A4 paper. I do wanna try to do it on a A3 paper, but I still have to gather the courage lol I probably would also need to buy a bigger brush. Also, it doesn't help that I use pan watercolors, so sometimes when I want to paint larger areas it can be a pain in the ass.
I actually recently bought a book on watercolors techniques and exercises (I bought it used in a great condition so I paid 35 on it instead of 70), and I am really pumped to start it out. It's a big book though, so it's probably going to take a while lol

Tha shading is a bit better, but the hair rendering is a bit off. Watch this (and other) Istebrak videos, she explains stuff very well (although she may sound mean and cocky sometimes), and her stuff helped me a lot, even though is a bit lenghty. At 12:30 she talks about the hair rendering, if you wanna skip to that.

It is absolutely too big of a hair. Old animu drawing habits with wonky proportions die hard i guess kek
Also many thanks for the videos, she is very helpful. Never heard of her before but i love how she explains things, subscribed to her and will definetely binge watch her since she seems to know her stuff very well.
Watched both hair parts of the vids and if understood correctly, my problem is that i dedicate too much detail on the hair when it doesn't really require it since it shouldn't be the focus and the eye wouldn't detect as much detail as i express.
I edited my drawing a little bit, took out some detail and instead showed the waviness with shadows and light, also made it smaller and added a more sensible hairline. I made the eyebrows not as stroke-y too. If i understood correctly that was one of my main rendering problems of the hair.
Is this better?

>>1125 The top still seems too big for me, as for hair parts, use bigger brush, go from dark to lighter and make it in sections, not strings. While going from darker to lighter use smaller and smaller brush, but not tiny.
You might think 'but I've seen those artists who make very detailed and amazing hair', well if you still want to do it, do it in the end on the another layer and play around with different brushes (get some custom ones from DA)
Another thing is her lips, if you want them to be more proportionate, just remember your lips corners are aligned with your pupils when you look straight.
Since it's bit too small , it gives an effect that she is tucking her head down, makes her chin look very big and hair even bigger too.
+ Try to work on you shading more, it will help you to render the pic better, gives depth and give hair more defined look, without making it too detailed (If you want to work better with hair, do a few cloth drape studies, my art teacher made me do it and it help massively). In this case the lack of shadows makes it bit hard to understand the perspective if she is looking down (lips, neck and her hairline makes it look that way) or if she is facing forward (nose, eyes and head shape).
Try to remember that the good artist is not the one who can make everything, more detailed, big or small, but the one who knows when to stop and what should be and shouldn't be too detailed.

>>1143 This is a great idea, your drawings are beautiful anon.
I remember in school people would always leave notes for someone in the next class to see or write "who sits here??" on the desks. Once I drew a picture of my OC at the time on my desk and two other people started drawing back. It was super cute and went on for awhile. One of the people said they were gonna draw us a picture and leave it under the desk but when I got to class I never found it…and that was the end of our little drawingship.

>>1285 Thanks anon! What do you mean by inspo exactly? Like what inspire the colors or themes or just to keep watercoloring in general? lmao Or do you mean like where did I "learn" or something like that?

>>4603 Let's revive the thread.
I used to draw really concrete things like warriors or witches or people in robot armor, fantasy nonsense, but somehow I switched to abstract things, mostly nondescript people falling apart and with fractals everywhere. I'm also trying to draw more loosely, just to imply something with lines, when I usually want everything to be clear. I like it, it's unique and has a different energy.
I don't show my drawings to anyone anymore though because they all tell me to stop drawing nonsense anyway

>>4605 >>4622 Thanks guys, I'm not gonna stop, I don't listen anymore to people who tell me what to draw, they're plebs.
Here is another drawing I am working on, but I am a bit conflicted about it, the hands are all around the man but there won't be any hands in the middle of his body so that part is going to be all white, so it's going to be unbalanced. I don't know how to fix that, what should I put in front of him? Should I just give him really defined muscles lol or put more of those triangles in front of him? I wish I could put more hands there but I can't work out the logistics.
Also I am going to post some nice references, I hope that's ok.

How do you get rid of a art block?
Anonymous 10/10/20 (Sat) 02:59:52 AM 13132
>>12980 -Try drawing with your left hand.
-Coffee.
-Go for a walk.
-Two coffees.
-Search through the type of art you're into/want to create and gain inspiration from it. If you steal from one you're plagiarising. If you steal from a hundred you're researching.
-Still two coffees.
-Try taking up another artistic passion
or if there was something else you always wanted to do or used to do when you were younger try and rekindle that old flame. There may appear some ghost pains you had forgotten existed, but it'll be like having the spirit of your own piano teacher from your childhood reteaching you the ropes once again next to you. This way you rediscover yourself along the way and feel inspired to create art once more.
-Wash a young person.
