/dig/ - Drawing Improvement 04/17/2025 (Thu) 21:06:43 No. 3945
Drawing Improvement General 4chan is down edition. Prev: https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/74522262/#74522262 ++++ start copy pasta from series ++++ Note: There is not, and there will never be, an official /dig/ discord server. Post what you're working on, ask questions, discuss general art-related things. Make your unforgivable fetishes come to life. Welcome: New and seasoned artists looking for advice, critique and support. When giving criticism, please, give actual criticism not just "LOL LOOMIS". Let's not become another /ic/ NOT welcome: /ic/ crabs, /trash/ crabs, bad faith critique Other Drawthreads: Search "draw" on a board's catalog Videos: Tyler Edlin - https://www.youtube.com/user/TylerE2284 Proko -https://www.youtube.com/user/ProkoTV Sinix -https://www.youtube.com/user/sinixdesign Scott Robertson -https://www.youtube.com/user/scottrobertsondesign Matt Kohr (CtrlPaint) -https://www.ctrlpaint.com/library Aaron Blaise -https://www.youtube.com/user/AaronBlaiseArt Vilpu (Anatomy) - https://mega.nz/folder/9Pw1lYaS#Me7LSwlSg59lNGmkj9tt4w/folder/lPoXEYxS LinesSensei- https://www.youtube.com/@LinesSensei Poses/Gestures: QuickPoses -https://www.quickposes.com/en PoseSpace -https://www.posespace.com/posetool/default.aspx https://x6ud.github.io/#/ Animal Head Reference Finder https://anatomy360.info/anatomy-scan-reference-dump/ Books (navigable folders): https://www.mediafire.com/?i44dwzkf9j9n8 https://6chan.moe/loomis/res/156.html https://6chan.moe/loomis/res/1991.html (filled with scans, replace 6 with 8) https://anonfiles com/OeEc64d4z1 https://www.mediafire.com/file/1hta2i7eqqj31ea/art_and_fear.pdf/file https://mega.nz/folder/yxtCBLYZ#FbtGBQQunWVCrjMMIzJSyw FAQ Q: I'm a total beginner. Where should I start? A: Do the exercises in either "Keys to Drawing" by Bert Dodson or "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards. Additionally, you can try the first few lessons of https://drawabox.com/ for building up muscle memory.
[Expand Post]++++ end copy pasta (i take no responsibility for what i just copypastad) ++++ As a fellow drawfriend, i want you to know that you can do it! believe in youself! (We're all going to make it) UwU extra tips (free of charge) from yours truly~: - Don't rub one out before you draw something, it'll drain you of your horny energy, an essential ingredient in producing fine art. - Do work out though (before or even in between drawings), it'll give you energy! - Drink water too! - Try the 1 minute rule (or whatever it's called), if you don't think you have the energy or willpower to start something, set yourself 1 minute to get started at that point, your body will love doing it and not know how to stop OwO! - If you're really struggling to find something to draw, try drawing what another anon has doodled here! it's truly a win-win, whoever is better can serve as inspiration and a bit of a "how-to" / redline to the other, + you don't have to think so hard about what to draw!
cursed muscle practice (just to get things started so anons aren't too scared of posting)

>>4518 Honestly, let it die. Just recomp once the actual /trash/ comes back, this place is being probed for an upcoming spam and shitposting wave. Our thread already had a lot of retarded shit, but now we have to deal with the internet equivalent of thug niggers. Also, my other generals died with their respective boards and /po/ will probably get permagutted due to the vulnerability so I'm kinda done with 4chan in general.
>>4559 But I don't want to say goodbye to you guys ;_;
>>4559 Then GTFO nigger this isnt an airport post or leave already
>>4720 pyw
>>4559 >and /po/ will probably get permagutted due to the vulnerability What. All they had to do was to update the damn Ghostscript, fool. The bug was known. Or they could (should) have sandboxed it. I mean it’s probably generous to not expect additional retardation.
>>4518 The guy who does anthro equines here. Bit of an ironic twist of fate to be back here, since what originally got me into /trash/ was 8/furry/ getting spamnuked way back in the day. I fear this is probably going to become a bit of a standard operating procedure on the fringes of internet culture going forward, with us having to switch haunts as they get smoked out one by one, since I doubt the powers that be want any one place to become prominent again. Divide et impera and all that. Unfortunately, I'm too busy with Easter to do any work on art, so by the time the festivities are done and dusted, this could well all have blown over and this thread will be redundant. Guess we'll see.
>>6205 >>6274 Glad to have you both here. Make yourself at home while I go buy some ciggies

What kind of art can you expect to learn how to draw here?
Good to see you guys are trying to keep going here. I used to post here to practice but kinda stopped due to my general slowing down lately. I'm assuming it is gone for good now that this happened since it wasn't in a good spot previously. Probably would've been wiser to have let it die but I kinda started drawing with any seriousness due to them. Hope you guys have a good one. Just wanted to get that out of my chest.
>>8486 Hot furry woman mostly. But if that isn't your cup of tea you don't need to draw them
>>8486 for the most part, i think anons here are going to teach whatever you are willing to learn
what do you guys draw and what site do you guys get the most love?

>>3945 Main fetish is milfs And I'm stuck in /beg/ hell I need a solid routine man Also this place is awfully slow compared to 4chuds trash
>>11189 My OC and Pokemon mostly >what site do you guys get the most love? Used to be 4chan and then only a few (you)'s here and there which is more then enough considering I draw on paper and am not particularly good to stand out much
(386.50 KB 1959x2940 floragato1.jpg)

>>3945 4chud refugee here. I think I'm just gonna post here. Don't know how it all works over here.
>>11688 your art is unique and that character has a fun playful quality about her, got any more?
>>11829 your use of colours is impressive and pleasing to the eye i like how the eyes look like jewels, very pretty what did you use to learn colour theory?
hey everyone am refugee etc i am sad I miss 4chan
>>11829 Nigger. This IS the 4kokz bunker. The guy who created /trash/ is some gacha tranny (unironically) that doesn't even give a shit.
>>11829 Very nice art. Reminds me of the meowscarada anon who will hopefully find us again. As for how it works here? /dig/ was made to be a better place then /ic/. So as long as you can provide art and your own growth or help in anyway you are much welcome >>12552 Nice art anon. Feel yourself at home
>>12481 I learned most through studying other artists. Examining what colors they used and how, trying to make my drawing similar. This guy also has some good videos on color and lighting.(and Marco Bucci) https://youtu.be/8YA2-_A56dw https://youtu.be/21mPduQsm1g >>12746 Meowscarada is my second wife next to gardevoir
>>12788 Props on the armour, I really like it. Something feels slightly out of place with the reflections, but damn if it's not fucking pretty to look at.
>>12788 Funny. You posted pics of the anon I mentioned. He showed some exceptional growth in here Let's hope he finds us soon
>>12841 I'll pray for him too
Last time I saw him he was hanging around in either the lineart thread on /ic/ or a pokemon/furry one on /trash/. Memory is a little hazy. I'm sure he's around here somewhere.
A friend I have in discord (yes I'm guilty) told me most of /vp/ ended up on soyjakparty. Which explains the criminal lack of Pokemon posts on this site Let's hope he isn't there as well Also completely unrelated but I love the quality of life that I'm able to close my reply window and everything including the captcha I solved is saved. I never knew I needed this
>>12952 >Discord >Soyjak They deserve everything that happens to them. Here, I'm feeling gratuitous today. Read up; >>7454 >Captcha Dunno, been having issues with requests and correct captcha answers. Nothing too big, but it ain't pleasant. Weird considering the posting format in this place was way better back in the day, guess the glownigger takeover really changed more things than I initially thought. Still, I kinda enjoy Z & L and their webrings more than this place (Don't tell the admins I said that)
>>12454 Sadly they're not worth posting
>>13050 God the body's so smol ughhh
>>12991 Sipping my mouth shut for you >>13055 Perhaps you need to do some studies on pictures you find hot. What I mean is drawing the body in all of its undetailed and simplified glory

>>11829 oh hey, the gang's all trickling in also are you sure about that (checks notes) tensor fasciae latae? in refs i have it doesn't go that much forward. >>11189 not sure whether to be proud or ashamed of reaction i got after linking my archive
>>13284 Don't worry about it, I kinda like your stuff. Could do with a lot of clarity and perhaps more thoughtful lines, but you've got a lot of charm. Schizo charm, mind you, but still charm. So if you don't like being treated like one, perhaps you should look for a different approach to your art.
>>13284 <Bottom right has the :D face Me too likes your stuff. That one time I asked you for more of your work because I needed something to get my brain going in order to make scary looking OC and you gave the stuff that looked more normal than usual. I chuckled that day and still think of it. And of course I will never forget you drawing my OC :3

>>13298 linework just never works out for me. i think i should lean more into paint-like approach, adjust brush size more, build the damn continuous adjustment peripheral i've been mulling over for the longest time now. like this took me maybe 2 minutes but because i had to pick value 8 times it killed any flow >>13311 >I will never forget you drawing my OC oh i'll fuckin do it again, just give me a hint what it is lol
>>13497 >oh i'll fuckin do it again, just give me a hint what it is lol It isn't as much fun when you do it willingly after I talked about it... https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/trash/image/1743/88/1743889097847.jpg Have not drawn her in a while so that was the actual most recent one. Hmm usually I have a bunch more I never post..
>>13050 >>13055 i like the colours you use for the lineart, i feel like if you brush up on some anatomy, you would be golden!
i miss 4chan, but this place seems solid too, posting on social media is very lonely and i prefer sharing stuff here

>>4518 I'm the guy that draws Rock Bottom, but I don't have any recent art of him, so here's a small gesture practice I just did. >>4141 Nice muscle man!

>>4518 I'm here. I don't know if I will come to this site regularly, if 4chan proper isn't back by next Sunday I'll probably get more comfy in altchans. This is my first time posting here.
