>>6623 Good points on both counts, fella. Rather than the art itself though (although its safety was something I did consider important), I guess it was just the idea that the guy had tricked the staff here into giving it away without their attempting to reach out to me first. I know it was a regrettable and unexpected thing that the "new admin" did (and the people here did right by giving the board back in the end), but still. Anyway, time to move on one way or another.

>>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

>>6694 >is it possible in krita? Y...yes? It's possible in pretty much any image editing software, from paint to photoshop. You just mean putting all of your images onto one large canvas, right? You can shrink them down and fit them on whatever size image you'd like.

Krita remains the most versatile and overall best free drawing, painting and animation software I'm aware of. It is extremely competitive and even superior to many commercial software options.

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...

>>6674 Anon, I hate to say it but he said 15-60 hours. An obvious exaggeration, but the more time you can spend the better... unless you feel like you're just spinning your wheels endlessly.

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.
