seek for medical help, idiot.

You cant be too depressed to pick up a pencil and make marks on a piece of paper bro

>>5126763
if you are just sad, just draw anything that you find fun. but if you mean real depression you need to treat it first. because even if you draw it will not be really productive.

>>5126763
Force yourself to draw

>>5126894
this. since this is ic op must meant the latter. if you want validation for tracing then gtfo.

>>5126894
I think if you trace someone else’s art and credit the original artist, it’s not that bad either. (As long as you don’t claim it as your own art)
I used to trace others in the past and when asked if I drew it myself, I always said it’s not mine and heavily referenced. Kinda helped me improve with time.

why yes I trace and make money off your stuff

>>5126746
It's heavily detrimental to learning, but can be fine to use in your own work depending on where and how you use it.

Anatomy comes after you can draw in 3d/perspective, not after keys to drawing.

By being a smart and educated person.
Considering your stupid question, you possess none of those qualities. Sorry for breaking it up to you.

>>5126731
You steal the idea from your subconscious or, failing that, another creator

Good that you asked OP
You analyze your character’s personality traits and pick colors, outfits and details that suit the character best. If it’s a humanization, pick objects and details that relate to to object/thing you’re humanizing.

THE

STICKY

>>5126620
Buy five stacks of copier paper and draw cute girls.

That was my method for getting good.

You can also start digital but only if you have a really good device (cintiq, s7+, ipad). I would never have learned to properly draw with the shitty wobbly digitiser I have on my surface pro. It destroys any subtle hand to eye coordination. Luckily I started with paper and pencil.

Oh nice! A few questions:
-do you take commissions
-if so, do you do nsfw
-are you okay with furry?

>>5130455
I don't take coms at the moment

I draw absolute trash with no regard for perspective, shading or anything but I'm always happy about it. I learned to stop giving a shit before I learned how to hold a pencil.

If I did I'd just be bitching on /vent/ all day instead of at least trying to get better.

i made this for a friend's birthday and it's probably the last time i was genuinely happy with something i drew

I will try to push that "block" back
Maybe having 3D models will help me visualize better those shapes
Sketchfab is a nice place for 3D reference

the only way to understand perspective is by practicing
20% Theory
80% Practice
My recommendation:
1st- DrawABox ONLY Lesson 1 with the 250 Boxes(will help you think in 3D)
2nd 1994 Perspective Drawing Series
3rd- How To Draw By Scott Robertson (CHAPTER 1-6 if you only want to draw human figure)
The book is a little bit dense, but if you did step 1-2, you will have no problem understanding the book, also the book come with some videos.
Use these Playlists as a reference if you have any questions about the techniques.

>>5126418
>I also did Peter Han's dynamic
Skip 1-2 step
If you did DS, you shouldn't have no problem understanding perspective/construction
Pyw your Dynamic Sketchings
may you have Dunning-Kruger

>>5126477
terrible advice.

>>5126477
Oh there are too many pages and I haven't taken any pictures of them
I never got if I had to do 6 pages (for example) each week or day, so I did 6 pages daily

Pyw your 4 best and 4 worst DS

What is like to be a retard?

>>5126310
when I was a kid I had a test with like 120 done
I was good in school until I got to further education and couldnt rely on winging it anymore and had to actually study which I wasnt used to
Im bad at drawing so either I lost a whole bunch of points or it doesnt really correlate to your skills

>>5127746
Are you me?

>>5127762
no but it seems to be pretty common for "gifted" kids, its all easy until you spiral out of control when it suddenly isnt anymore

Serious question: how would you even begin to measure drawing ability

>>5127156

>>5126274
no, i'm actually want to make it

As evidence by the fact that I don't actually do any art for myself, that I can't really bring myself to do "personal" or "passion projects", basically yes.

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, but I almost never have something in my head that I need to get out. I am not a very naturally creative person at the best of times, so without any sort of design brief, I flounder. These days, basically any time I pick up my pen it's because I'm being paid to.

The problem is, I've also basically lost almost every job I've ever had for one reason or another, mostly because I'm shit, so as bad as I am at art I'm apparently even more useless in the real world. So I guess it's either do this, or just be homeless, which seems likely anyway.

Yeah it is. I think the guy is the voice of Jack Spicer.

Np.

Honestly it’s pretty smooth. Some parts show they couldn’t give it all the love but it is hand drawn with minor puppeting in or tweening.

You can thank communism for that. There's a reason why you will rarely see this happen with Taiwanese or overseas Chinese.

>>5129074

I'm confused half of the people i know say copying is what all great artists steal from other artists and make great things with it.
The other half says stealing is terrible and shows how bad you are as an artist and you should be original.

>>5129388
I'm so sick of people taking that quote out of context or mangling it. "Great artists steal" means to go beyond what your inspirations can do.
We're all influenced by someone, if you can match the skill of your favorite artist, you're a 'good artist'. If you take that and somehow make it your own that makes people say "I know that's anon's work", you're a 'great artist'.

>>5129388
Copying isn't tracing.

>>5126166
Most people don't. Some do.

white is a color
so you imply it's white by making it white

>>5126151
For some it can be a bit of a cheat, but use cold and warm grays, I do it that way

Read old manga.

>>5126049
I hope not, because it's a stupid idea to commit 16hours a day to any one thing, be it working out or drawing, cus you're just going to burn yourself out after a week

3-5 hours a day is a much more realistic way of "getting good"

>>5131279
No not accurately.

Actual great analogy, have a (you)

if don't know how you even do this schedule do Olsen's Perspective course and try to finish it in less than 2 weeks

>>5129196
Thanks!

>>5127049
i think I figured it out now

>>5128929
study your weakest point until it is not your weakest point, then study your new weakest point. that is how I do it.

>>5129055
if you drew you avatarfaging thing you would whine and get some gains at the same time, think about it.

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU OP, THAT IS SO MUCH FASTER THAN HOW I’VE BEEN SKETCHING SO FAR
you legit saved my life, I’m gonna get so much drawing done with your technique
pic related, how I sketched
why the fuck isn’t this in the sticky?

>>5125983
Doesn’t....doesn’t everyone do this?

>>5125957
>>5125960
gotcha

>>5125983
I dunno how you managed to misinterpret what I meant, bro - your square doesn't even look to my one

just draw
draw

>>5126002
When I said doesn’t everyone do this I meant how OP described, as in draw square B in the OP pic and erase the excess to achieve square A

>>5132308

Hey bub, don’t worry about me, I know how to work for myself in my art, only posted to give anon some ideas about concepts and a semblance of a drawing plan to go ahead with instead of that real shoddy plan he’d posted, ie perspective, drawing techniques, proportions, etc

i have an idea for a wimmelbilder that i want to take from concept to finished

i'm going to work in tiny units, kind of like the connected map thread, and work a tile at a time. but before i even get to that stage, i am going to make a few smaller prototypes.

>>5131976
>>5132078
>>5132272
thanks, I'll tweak the plans around then

>>5125835
Gross. Get help.

Goal - start drawing, get a SM following big enough to earn enough money to move out
Plan - ???
will update if works

>>5125806
this is called you being a dumbass asking stupid questions.

coomerism

>>5125806
I don't think that's really a style but someone intermediate at drawing

>>5125814
yeah no

>>5125703
Draw a man, put some malformed tits on it, give it long hair.

>>5125703
just draw an ugly woman with broad shoulders and a cock

I honestly didn't know people could look like that.

Trannies are like that in general, even if you are just trying to develop software, be kind irl but really, avoid these people as much as you can.

>>5131464
Just don't be nice to trannies and dudes when they are over the line, say hey, this is obly for work or "I'm busy" and block them

Most followers will be very well intentioned but they can act horribly familiar at times. Keep it professional and impersonal, limit communication to e-mail, no discord/twitter/whatever.
