Fucking typo, ***Draw 30 MINUTES of figures every day***

But also you could draw 30 figs if need be

>>7884288
I mean you should be able to draw a figure in 1 minute.
2 mins is more of a standard croquis length but 1 min should be doable.

Idk how to word this but do you guys have any youtubers you watch specifically for figure drawing?

Looks nice, but you won't be able to escape drawing faces for long. Also, I think you should really darken the pinches so they look with more depth.

Constructive Figure Drawing teaches really basic stuff, it's really good. The other is when you already know a bit more about form and gesture.

>>7887368
You're doing fine IMO. Those figures are excellent but I'm sure you can feel there are little things off in them, here and there, very subtle details. You're in that point when you know you are good and you feel the itch to do other fun stuff. And you can totally go there of course, but don't get lost in it and forget about these important exercises. Look at this guy >>7887198 >>7885979 how loose and confident those lines are, he grind so much already that those figures look like beautiful signatures, his strokes became artistic. You're in the same artistic vibe, but your stroke's artistic confidence is not at that level yet. Whatever you do, or path you choose, you will get good at it, anyone can tell, Just don't get burned out, and always keep it fun. Try to always come back to figure drawing if you feel lost on your artistic adventures, it will put you back on track instantly.

>>7887368
>anyone has some recommendations ?
more detailed studies that take longer per figure and limb, and even anatomical studies of the muscles, tendons and bones below in order to understand more how the beef is made so to speak. bridgeman can be complicated for beginners, but you are good enough to get a grasp of what is being shown and taught. but essentially from your level on its just a matter of repeating and doing a lot in order to advance. just keep on drawing and compare your old and new stuff every now and then for a little confidence boost. it usually isnt that noticeable if not put side by side.

Either think of people in structure such as boxes and ovals and place them in a space with perspective. OR what I do normally is train to see shapes with volume and then kinda measure them compared to other shapes. Also Take your time too I find 5-20 minute figures the best.

Still doing stuff no construction. Getting better I think. Trying to get as few lines as possible. More successful with some figs than others in that regard. Deliberately using reference where the model is scrunched up so I have to get the silhouette really correct.

>>7887402
yeah i see what you mean, my lines are more on the scribbly side but i also hate to ctrl+z 40 times to draw one line. I guess i just keep going and hope for the best.

>>7887414
i mean i did that here and there, and also did some anatomy, but never fully commited to it since it is so fucking boring, but i guess i can´t get around doing that huh

>>7888212
desu, i really hate the box stuff, i use construction in some way but i would prefer to hone my intuition for what looks right or wrong, and not going full basic shape people, because when i start drawing boxy people it kinda fucks with my ability to make a human figure out of it

Back to drawing, figure skating is really good for keyframing and adds a sense of force that’s hard to find in other artistic disciplines. Alysa Liu totally crushed her routine. Love her energy.

>>7890045
I am a beg and have never seen such a method for a sketch-layer
is there a name or something for it? looks neat

>>7890055
I really like it, it makes more sense to me. It feels like sculpting. I found it a few months ago on X japan as “lasso tool sketching", but it’s nothing new. It’s really just the digital version of sketching with diluted gouache or oils. Here’s an example of Vilppu using this method a decade earlier.

>>7890394
My favorite on the thread so far. Incredible hard pose with tons of ambiguity. A few things to watch out for:
- your understanding is correct that the knee and foot usually point in the same direction, but when the figure is under heavy load the ankle breaks as it disperses the weight, making the knee and foot point in different directions. You will notice this in weightlifting, dancing, and skating.

- I think you are losing volume in the way you are joining the arm and torso. In yours, it feels like you are only joining them at the deltoid, which makes it look a little flatter. There are some muscles that attach from the scapula to the humerus that add volume to that joint, like the teres minor.

Amazing work. The base value is adding a lot of solidity to your drawing.
