did you ask her why diaper
[QUOTE=xalener;44415141]did you ask her why diaper[/QUOTE] because it's offensive to draw a woman's penis in my culture
Shit I did tonight during my suggestion draws stream [IMG]https://31.media.tumblr.com/4ee237ebc1f73c758b9d6fe391441799/tumblr_n3c858Zv2Z1r6agw4o1_1280.png[/IMG] And then when I got bored with that, I started coloring this.

FNR, have you ever tried doing clean lineart? Even your "cleaned up" stuff is really sketchy
Doodled some almost-round circles today with some badly placed faces and hair, as well as practicing some eye drawing. Just trying to make drawing fun and not "work".
[QUOTE=Eric95;44418030]FNR, have you ever tried doing clean lineart? Even your "cleaned up" stuff is really sketchy[/QUOTE] Nope.... Well not recently. Haven't really put much time into cleaning up my line work at all tbh, which is a shame cause my stuff could look pretty presentable if I did. Gotta fix that.
How does one get about doing a suggestion draw stream anyway? I'm intrigued to try it out for fun. Anyway, yeah FNR, your lines seem too sketchy. I had the same problem, but it seems drawing much slower and while zoomed in helps a bit at first, until you get used to it.
Do people [I][B]watch[/B][/I] you do those drawings?

Drawstream. [QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;44419895]Do people [I][B]watch[/B][/I] you do those drawings?[/QUOTE] Well just the black and white one. All they did for the other was watch me color it a bit.
I swear at some point somebody linked a website containing photos of reference figure study models that are good to practice with. Just got a tablet today and I thought this would be good.
You're better off just finding reference photos. All the poses on Pixelovely are artistic poses and they won't really help you learn anatomy or how to draw a figure.
okie dokie i was going to search deviantart, but I don't think inflation is realistic :/

he's obviously pumping iron invisible iron but iron nonetheless.
[QUOTE=xalener;44420194]what is with this pose?[/QUOTE] Pfft, idunno. I just kinda forced myself to draw after playing hundreds of hours of dark souls 2. Really the entirety of the drawing was improvised and I didn't feel like leaving the arm obscured by the torso. [editline]1st April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=lintz;44420253]he's obviously pumping iron invisible iron but iron nonetheless.[/QUOTE] Yknow what, this is a better.
I would say, not bad for a first attempt... so far. I know there is a lot wrong, and I cannot find that red-line help thread, so I need some red-line action if possible. Obviously putting them side-by-side has highlighted a fair few more mistakes but my wrist needs a rest right now. [t]http://i.imgur.com/jlBTFqM.jpg[/t]
[QUOTE=whatthe;44421305]I would say, not bad for a first attempt... so far. [/QUOTE] From what I see, your main problem is with the forearm. Edit: I would do some red lines, but I'm on my phone. The others will more useful than me anyway.
Try adding in some ankles too [editline]1st April 2014[/editline] I am also on phone so red lines are a no go
Most of the problems are with the legs. Just check your angles against the reference. She's a bit shorter and chubbier than in the reference. Otherwise not too bad. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XOdzJnv.jpg[/IMG]
I don't know if everyone else will agree, but I see no problem with actually measuring out the height and width of the reference in a few key places to make sure you're not completely off the mark. And of course it's important to keep in mind that it's better if you do without rulers so you can just get the right measurements by eye, but I'll risk saying I think it's okay to gradually work yourself up to doing it without measurements while you're getting a feel for it. Tl;dr: You can measure a few things but the fewer crutches you make for yourself the better how'd i do mako? <3

[t]http://i.imgur.com/jlBTFqM.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] You'd benefit from practicing some lines of action to get the general pose down more correctly. Also try and mark where her extremities are; feet, elbows/hands and head. Relate them to each other and check their position is correct. You basically have to carefully compare your placements. It might take some zooming out and squinting eyes but if your drawing looks wrong it'll be distracting from all the rendering and coloring you might throw at it later down the line. EDIT: Don't be afraid to sketch. just keep it light and make sure not to trust your sketch. You can always make improvements.
Cool, thanks a lot guys. I took no time for preparations, no measurements etc and it shows. Curretly what you see is what I drew first, I didn't really do and conceptual, or rough sketches. I'm going to do separate body parts instead of tackling a whole person first.
well here's the first chapter(?), and the nine pages necessary for my assignment, which is due tomorrow. I have to say I like where i'm taking it for now, and I hope to keep it going, but knowing me, it'll probably just start gathering dust now. still, i'd love any criticism I can get link, because long [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfrzf3nmeidkmco/andromeda.pdf[/url]

If you can find them, look up Robert Beverly Hale's filmed anatomy lessons. He's a master and goes through the aspects of the human anatomy from bone to muscle to sinew to skin. Take notes from what he draws and you'll gain a really deep understanding of not just how it's supposed to look but also why and how.
[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;44422363]well here's the first chapter(?), and the nine pages necessary for my assignment, which is due tomorrow.

All I know is that it a proper noun up somewhere, and I'd be randomly guessing anything else with my loose collection of cultural knowledge, as I believe 'Andromeda' may have referred to a Scifi something-or-other. Try "I turned, keeping in formation". 'Without breaking' is clumsy. As well try "hearing only the chirping (or hum) of birds and insects". Using 'chirp chirp' implies they're all making the same noise. "Sound of a projectile's motion" is not only abstract but confusing. What do you mean projectile? The supersonic snap of a bullet? I'm sure you of all people are aware that the bullet can often be heard first , but only if the bullet is near the ear first. If the gunshot is heard at a distance, I as a reader don't believe I should be hearing the bullet at all. Frankly you could cut any description of the projectile as I doubt a reader would assume a gunshot wouldn't be followed by a projectile, even unheard. And sorry, but they heard a gunshot from more than a kilometer away? Not to mention I don't know why they'd have any sort of 'suspected location for the shot' when they've just been heading in the direction they heard it from. Since I've been giving quite a bit of criticism, I'll say I do think you're handling the "fish man" situation very well. You've avoided the common pitfall of explaining the shit out of it right away, instead leaving us picking up breadcrumbs until we're interested enough to have the bulk of it explained. Very good. I'll be honest I got a bit distracted and lost track of the action towards the end, but what I've gathered is a solid bit of writing. It's a bit clumsy and heavy-handed at times but in general it's working hard to keep the readers interested without smothering them in useless information. I think it could do with a bit of refining, but you've done a great job of creating a vivid and convincing reality for your story, lots of solid description without too much abstraction.
i've never posted any pencil-on-paper stuff that i did. here's a eyeball that i did in class. [IMG]http://puu.sh/7SvNn.png[/IMG]

[t]http://i.imgur.com/jlBTFqM.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] don't bother with fine details for now, try to focus on the basic geometry of the body and sketching out multiple poses in a comfortable interval, maybe add face details and clothes afterwards for fun also I wouldn't mind seeing how you structure the body before going into the lineart, it'll be easier to see what's going on
