I shouldn't have tried to paint this. The dog was way bigger than the one in the reference, and it took too much out of the face. I had to remove some of the fur on the right so the face would show. Atleast I got into the OP.
I'm trying to find a way to do fundamentals that gives me dopamine and won't make me give up in 30 seconds. I've tried drawabox and just gave up immediately, same thing with Loomis.
>>7956119 didn't include it because I tend to avoid things I have to crop and I'm really just fast skimming through gallery mode and grabbing whatever catches my eye for the op.
people probably didn't really crit you because while your drawings are nice (some of them) they vary so much in style subject and effort. critiquing all of them is a hassle and drawing a clear correlation like for someone who drew 3 characters in a similar style is much harder because you can't directly compare them to each other. unless you just want a superficial x and y drawing look good which you already know yourself which ones I'm referring to (blonde and orange hair) so replying is redundant.
Now for an actual critique on the blonde swimsuit: The ear placement looks incredibly off especially with the eyebrow reaching that far. the braided hair isn't really convincing either. That being said it is still a decent drawing some of the coloring is nice just not super exiciting that's something you could try to develop further
here begins my humiliation ritual of copying morpho basic forms with an uncomfortable thin brush / no stabilization / no fun colored lines
not really upset that it looks bad, since that's how studies are meant to go, right? the idea is to improve on something your're bad at (eventually (hopefully))
>>7956170 the color version of your sheeva drawing doesn't look bad, it looks like the first step of rendering, you just laid down the flats. this monster hunter qt looks incredible btw, great draftsmanship
>>7956174 i know i called the colors flats too, problem is that i cant really make the shadows make sense and everything always look muddy, this is a drawing i made some time ago and you can see how i tend to fuck up my shadows.
>>7956182 can't comment on the shadows but I would've redone the shape of the futa's cock. I also feel like there's a missed story beat of the popsicle and cock having a visual connection or something
>>7956192 > I also feel like there's a missed story beat of the popsicle and cock having a visual connection or something i didnt even think about this while drawing it like a week/month ago.
>>7956156 >the idea is to improve on something your're bad at (eventually (hopefully))
It is and studies do not necessarily need to look great, but that is usually because you're ignoring some other fundamentals to isolate the thing you're trying to learn. For me I use the studies to understand how to use the concepts being shown to me. Picrel- I had to draw a wolf for a piece and didn't want to learn all the anatomy as intimately as I know human cause (bc that'll take months/years) So I adopted the system and then tried to add it to my tool belt. The main focus was getting the concept of the system down (second was understanding the hair), so I noted what I did right so I can replicate it and things to work on next time. This is like the first one I did that's why it's in this beat up sketch book, but after I would continue to churn them out while addressing the holes I see in my logic. So I would ask; Are you understanding what you're drawing and applying it or just copying?
>>7956210 yeah it has the best composition but there is something about 4 that i really like, it reminds me of classic yugioh for some reason, that's why i finished.
>>7956204 Those wolves look kind of bad, so here's the thumbnail that I'm gonna go with and refine digitally because the paper cannot take anymore abuse.
I need to make a calendar of character birthdays so I can make fanart to post on the actual day… I’ll remember a birthday like two days before it and not have enough time to finish something before it arrives
Can someone give me a good perspective guide and fundamental guide? I feel like I'm still getting nowhere, and all the guides that people have recommended me look too complicated for me. I'm still feeling stuck and I don't know what to do.
>>7956243 You should probably be nicer to everyone who tries to help you in that case. But instead people will tell you how to get better and you will say something like “That shit is so boring fuck off.”
I really want to make/render art in the style of Fear & Hunger for a grimdark multiplayer game my friend is making. Can someone explain what the hell he's doing in this video and how I replicate it in Clip Studio Paint maybe?
>>7956256 then maybe stop being dumb in the brain and just figure it out? figuring out how to do shit is literally the process of improving. thats how you get better at art actually.
if you're going to constantly deflect to protect your ego, you're never going to improve.
>>7956260 That's my problem, I can't figure it out. Even when looking at tutorials, I just only end up being able to draw what's in the tutorial and not actually apply it to whatever I want to draw. >>7956263 I've tried Loomis before but felt like I couldn't get anywhere.
>>7956221 I like copying, it's fun and easy you don't have to worry about where the drawing is going. You will learn something from copying , though it won't be as much from actually applying the things you've learned. I find blindly copying something useful for filling up my visual library or maintaining your skills for when I'm being lazy, but if I need to grow I need to analyze what I put down (even if my hypothesis are wrong) and stress testing it to make sure that my knowledge is solid.
If you're going to copy I think >>7956160 is better especially the head structure part. Morpho seems more of a reference for figure drawing, Also if you're just copying paying attention to the draftsmanship of who you're copying is better, especially in these types of books because they're boiling down the knowledge in to the bare bones essentials without going into rendering as much.
>>7956267 I don't get what you're trying to make me understand, but I'm gonna stick with morpho since I've already started, hopping from one source to another will just lead to me not going through with any of it >if you're just copying paying attention to the draftsmanship of who you're copying is better no meaning to me
I keep trying to do Loomis but every time I try, I always end up giving up around this part because it's too difficult for me. I never know how the fuck to do this.
Looks fairly straightforward to me. He's using the same brush and potentially working with changes in opacity. I don't see many changes in his brush size, however, so he might have that disabled for pressure. His color selection leans towards more muted colors too, so that could also help you. But he really embraces the singular layer look.
Because as I'm looking at it now, he's using several layers for this but I am pretty sure you could acheive this look on a single layer. His canvas also seems to be hilariously small, though I couldn't tell you the resolution. The small size helps with the pixelation I think, since larger images would just be clearer, losing the muddiness of his style. I think he's shading with black, too, and doing generally a lot of stuff most old school artists would rip your ass over. He works from big to small, bigger chunks to smaller chunks of color, refining with each layer and the like.
>>7956289 >>7956295 Every single suggestion made to you is met with reasons why you can’t do it. Why are you here then? Why should anyone bother talking to you?
Like what? Every fucking guide looks too complicated for me. I gave up on Loomis around the body construction part because it looked too complicated. >>7956303 I'm saying that the actual act of putting all this together is too complicated. Not the drawing of the ellipses. I just did a quarter canvas full of them.
>>7956302 >>7956298 Like what? Every fucking guide looks genuinely too complicated for me and I can't figure it out. Every single one of them. Even loomis was too much for me.
>>7956289 yeah it's pretty tough. But you learn a lot if you just lmao do two pages per day. Read each sentence that's written. Get a piece of paper. Write down laymen's terms for it. He has a LOT of great advice. If you translate it into idiot speak, then it becomes insanely eye-opening. The only thing is that you can't just look at the whole book and give up; you have to sit down and eat this elephant one bite at a time.
>>7956248 That's a really fucking ugly brush and i want it. It looks like a messy shiyoon wahoo cartoon brush + another crappy brush for coloring. Not doable in chink studio paint, Drawpile has similar brushes to photoshop try that one it's free.

>>7956356 You asked for God. I have sent you my talented son to enlighten y'all, and you deny him (you)s. Now y'all writhe forever in darkness, you won't see him no more.
>>7956275 I assume the small canvas is because he's working on an RPGMaker game and the resolution is very small.
I think I am just not understanding this method or maybe I need to try it on something more basic/understand more about rendering/painting in general?
I blocked in a base color, then set the brush to 50% opacity, picked another color, then periodically color picked the shade inbetween to soften the edge but I don't think it came out right. Your drawing there is very good.
>>7956374 he's pretty aware of the planes of the head, so value changes correspond to them the actual plane transitions are not that soft, he lays out a few transition colors/values and reuses them instead of smudging everything to oblivion
Fig. Hands are trash and the torso is too long. I've been telling myself to study hands for the last 2 months now but I never seem to get around to it.
>>7956402 I don't really have a specific zombie girl in mind I'm doing my own thing To be fair everyone in this project is a zombie so maybe I don't need to be stereotypical every single time Mmh Design is hard!
It really annoys the fuck out of me that I come on here, post work, ask a very specific question and get drowned out by: >extremely amateur drawing with zero comment or question >1 hour and 30 minutes later he posts again having drawn like 2 more lines with zero comment or question When you're new you need to draw a LOT and FAIL FAST. Do MANY drawings QUICKLY. Are these people genuinely retarded? When you communicate with someone, you are doing it with the intention of a response, right? What response do they expect to receive on this work?
>>7956476 My post didn't get ignored, it just annoys the fuck out of me. Why post if you don't ask for specific feedback? >>7956481 This is understandable given there are few pros and many beginners, of course a pro wouldn't get much feedback.
>>7956393 i mean yeah cus your drew her like a Frankenstein, but why does she have a squid instead of having hair >>7956322 so close actually you just copied the image from the book exactly >>7956417 sad you didnt hear that black man telling you to draw shorter necks, they look bad.
>>7956491 >>7956387 the difficult part is controlling your values and making the right planes (you can use an asaro head for an easy to understand simplification) the rest having ref beside you so that you can use similar shapes and proportions as he does, and sticking to desaturated / cool temperature colors and of course paint everything in one layer
>>7956502 Pick a face from any artist you like at the same angle Finish your face. Compare it and see where you're wrong. If you want to add depth to the drawing you will need line thickness, color or hatching
>>7956512 When you draw the contour lines, can you imagine your pen going in to the drawing and wrapping aroung the ball? Or did you just learn where you need to place the contours so they look right to you? Draw some balls from reference. There are website that show your randomly rotated wireframes
Here's a basic grid copy resource I made for myself when I started. Pretty much every art resource or tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of how to accurately copy something. You try to do all these construction methods and wonder why it doesn't look like it is supposed to when you can't even draw or copy simple shapes. You smash your head against a wall with no hope of ever improving crying out why nobody can help you, but no amount of advice is gonna help or is ever going to be good enough if you can't act on it. When someone tells you to draw a sphere and to cut it in half once horizontally and once vertically and you end up with THIS >>7956512 , I'm sorry to single you out but be assured you are not the only one in this general. Then what the fuck are you doing?
I know I know grid copies aren't super fun, but is staying a prebeg for the next 10 years or until you get lucky and it somehow clicks after smashing your head against a wall repeatedly really better than doing a bunch of grid copies for a few weeks? And No if you already know by just innately getting it or having had your breakthrough through this initial barrier already, then I am not talking to you, this post is meant for the mentally downtrodden who literally have to start at ground zero.
>>7956589 >That’s not too bad all things considered, I’d say you’re probably high /beg/. That's what grok said >What are you having trouble with specifically? No idea, i did a redline a while ago and it looked correct-ish.
>>7956595 You finished the drawing, you don’t have to redo it until it’s perfect. You absolutely want to analyze your drawing and identify mistakes you made and how you can avoid them for next time, but once you’ve identified a couple, it’s time to move onto the next drawing. One of the arms looks noticeably thinner than the other, even after taking perspective into account. Try not to do that next time. There ya go, mission accomplished.
>>7956587 I'd say the biggest problems are related to shape design for the dress. It feels like you're making most lines up without confidence in what you're doing. Using ref and studying other artists would fix it.
>>7956602 Nigga i'm using a reference, i've been spamming gestures for a while. >dress is shit Yeah i think that's it, features are also super generic, no artistic value.
>>7956600 hampton if you want an analytical construction approach to anatomy. huston if you want an approach that's a bit more intuitive (but still analytical). vilppu for a much more intuitive approach. morpho is more of a reference book than an instructional book, so check it out afterwards.
Check the negative space between the arms in the ref and your drawing, check the angle of the dress as well it seems you added a bump for some reason really breaks the flow of the drawing
>>7956606 There is nothing wrong with using a reference even for original work. Most professional artists do. But since you’re in digital, maybe break her down into basic forms again w/red lines, and you’ll see why her shoulders look kinda weird.
>>7956606 I extended your wokr and tried drawing the skirt myself with a mouse at work. I wanted to practice drawing fabric and I really liked the upper body of your drawing. I want to do this again with a pen
>>7956695 Confidence is when you seemingly know exactly what youre doing/going. A line that knows where it's going is bold and to the point oppose to a shaky or timid line that is built with a bunch of tiny strokes.
That's why women love men with confidence, because they already know what to do
>>7956719 Today is day two of me trying it out, so I’ll report back as I learn more. I posted two old pieces yesterday, with one getting 100 or so likes and 60 on the other for a less popular franchise. I have 9 followers there currently. It seems like hashtags have pretty good outreach.
>>7956733 Collect the hair lines instead of making random hints at shapes, get steadier lines and stop pillowshading. The linework is so bad it almost looks traced but it's probably just rushed. >>7956651 This is really cool, I love how accurate the face is and the hints at detail >>7956742 There's nothing much to critique because your art is boring and doesn't appeal to me. Looks like foidfood
>>7956474 I usually ignore everyone that I don't like >>7956655 Nobody likes complainers >>7956747 Cute concept, better posing and a stronger facial expression might help why isn't her right hand pointing at the viewer? Make her pointer longer and learn to draw hands.
>>7956069 How do I learn observing? what should I try to observe when i am trying to copy? i asked people after showing my drawing and they all said i am doing half assed drawing.. Also How can i get better 3d Form / Perspective? I have been randomly drawing cubes and it didn't work so i started drawing horizon lines and drawing cubes related to them. would this work?
I believe learning has three steps: exposition, internalization, and application.
And I feel like many /beg/ go (or want to) from exposition - be that to a new tutorial, lesson, or concept - directly to application. If you don't memorize/internalize something, you're never going to be able to apply it in the wild. So when copying to learn, you should copy until you own it.
>>7956773 are you asking how to set up a worksheet for a grid copy? you just put the ref on one layer then the grid file on the layer above (reduce the grid opacity at will) and then draw your study on a layer even further above. You obviously draw into the empty grid. you should use 2d references that are drawn and include as little distractions (color, shading, backgrounds) as possible because the goal is to replicate the original image. Pic rel is sourced from setteidreams.net ,Disney characters are probably even a step easier.
>>7956753 >why isn't her right hand pointing at the viewer? She's pointing at her bull who she's about to fuck and she's laughing at the viewer (the cuckold).
>>7956889 When you grab your pencil you're also using an "stabilizer", it is called your hand, arm and eye coordination through your nervous system. And the drag produced by the pencil through the paper surface also adds to the stabilization". So you need the same stabilization parameters simulated in that zero gravity floating virtual pixel on a screen. No, it's not cheating, USE the god damn stabilization.
>>7956905 reduce the opacity of the ref and overlay them to check for huge differences, the point is to figure out why your drawing looks so different. nobody expects a perfect copy but you want to watch out for your biggest mistakes like a line leading into a completely different direction than in the original, it being curved in a different way, it being too long/short or the distance between lines being either too narrow or wide.
I marked in green the areas that I'd consider the biggest offenders. You are allowed to create guidelines for additional measuring or have a messy sketch you later trace over (helps with not having to do the "final" line into the void) and clean up btw
fig + selphie sketch for that one anon. Is the Selphie good enough for line art? I know its sacreligious, but I wanted a size down on the ass and thighs to make the legs seem longer; I couldn't make it work though. Could someone help?
>>7956974 I think there are a couple of proportional issues with the torso (slightly too long in the upper part), I'd also fix her right hand and dryer before doing line art
>>7956974 Keep going. I would play around with the proportions, especially the neck and chest. Use the Lasso Tool to move things around. Save an incremental copy so that if you don't like the outcome after you're done editing, you can go back to the previous version. It's free, so take advantage of it.
Whenever I draw from direct observation, i feel like I can get one part or one portion down right, but the rest of it feels skewed.
You can especially see it with the lain, I probably drew too small but her big ass hair's in the way of her shoulder.
Is this something that just goes away with practice? When I look at the lines I look at the shapes that they form, and where they are in close relation to another part. But this often means that, in an effort for some part of a drawing to stay proportional/not skewed, it doesn't 'connect' right.
>>7956974 Done with it, tried out hatching. I drew her left breast at a completely weird angle and the hair+hands are fucked up(like usual), but overall I like it.
>>7956978 >>7957053 Thanks for the advice. Wish I saw that paintover before I started lmao
>>7956481 >Even pros get zero feedback here. Even as a mid-high /int/ if I see someone better than me, I cant give feedback. I try really really hard but I cant find flaws or they are just nit picky and I am a really good crit-er too. Sucks but I can't do anything.
>>7957194 nta Are you really? I want to ask if you can pyw to know if you can critique something I'm working on, since I do mostly critique other peoples' stuff ITT
>>7957013 You call that a dick? Whats the point of making a muscular futa if she doesnt have a gigantic horsecock? I expect you to draw her breeding some anime bitches next.
>>7957217 Shut the fuck up Paige or are you the street fighter troon nigger with shaky ass parkinson lines once again jealous of a BRAZILIANGOD getting attention?
a recent collage of shit i've done, some of which i've posted here any things that really stick out as weaknesses? one buddy suggested painting more machinery
>>7957228 good job on the animals. Seriously. There's room for improvement in the human faces. I'd suggest doing some more face studies and Loomis heads
>>7957232 thanks for the estimation. i think its overall a bit overestimated. my mechanical linework may be scratching towards int, otherwise im probably around mid beg. my human anatomy is definitely lacking and i cant paint for shit.
>>7957261 Don’t listen to the crab, some of those proportions are weird but you do have some understanding of how to show form, I think mid /beg/ is fine or maybe even high /beg/.
>>7957269 perspective is fucked up the proportions are wrong the arm is fucked despite heavily relying on a huge ass deltoid anatomy is wrong despite barely being any of it
etc.
Obviously low beg. Why are you trying to make others fail? Is this a epic joke i'm not aware of? People that act like that usually get paid, you are not getting paid.
>>7957173 im tired of chairs here a drawing of a very old render i made, is the perspective ok? i need to know if it makes sense before i add the details.
>>7957272 i didnt even say my anatomy was mid beg you mongrel. i said my stuff overall may be. did you skip elementary school reading? fucking dyslexic. also, post your work or go slit your wrist, im done with this.
>>7957272 He can draw interesting mechs, I assume from imagination, which places him mid beg imo. He posted the shitty anatomy on purpose to show the other anon his weaknesses you autistic retard.
Maybe I should stop finishing pieces for a while and just grind sketches and studies? I want to have work to post on sns though. It seems like my progress has slowed however
>>7957333 >a slave to social media likes It's already over. Just post your Greatest Hits from your studies/sketches if you want to stay active on twitter.
come hire ur monkey for the night! >>7957293 well thats a decent male body the neck needs to be somehwat thicker tho and the area behgind the ear doesnt make much sense
anmd the right arm needs to be angled more upward but overall thats the best male body i have seen from you so good
Today practice. Spent 90 minutes on this. It's really hard, knowing how side profile look but unable to put it down on paper, some of the copies turned out fine but I still didn't gasp it. I need to practice more tomorrow.
>>7957333 >Maybe I should stop finishing pieces for a while and just grind sketches and studies? No don't do this, this is the ultimately /beg/ trap that will make you waste months/years. You will not retain anything by just spamming studies in a vacuum with no goal in mind. Draw a piece, when you get stuck or identify a weak area then do a few targeted studies that are designed to teach you about that one specific problem, then go back to working on your piece. And then just repeat the cycle. Your studies have to be directed by specific problems that arise from your pieces, otherwise you'll never progress.
>>7957261 it's not as bad as you think. your drawings show that you actually have internalized some understanding of the forms of the body rather than just rote memorization or pure contour drawing. It's a solid foundation that can easily be built upon
>>7957351 >You will not retain anything by just spamming studies in a vacuum with no goal in mind. This is bullshit. You will subconsciously retain bits and pieces as you study, provided you're doing high volume studies and not just a couple studies here and there.
You do need to apply your studied knowledge to a finished piece eventually though to ensure it clicks, and it's not a bad idea to do targeted studies in the middle of a high effort piece drawing as needed.
sorry for uploading such a rough sketch but can someone help me out with the males right eye... or both of them... im pretty sure the placement, alignment, and curvature is totally off but i dont know how to fix it and for the female... how to fix her nose... and her breasts i wanna give her nice curvy boobs but i think my execution here is horrible
>>7957371 You really need to study faces, you've got that generic /beg/ symbol drawn face style right now and it severely degrades the entire drawing. Face appeal supercedes basically everything for this type of drawing.
For the eyes either make his left eye smaller or make the right one bigger depending on what you're going for. Keep in mind the curvature of the head and how the right eye will foreshorten slightly.
For the boobs, are you using a ref at all? Compare against your ref if so, if not then find a ref. You can use a photo ref or find something similar off of a booru using the "profile" or "side view" tag depending on whatever that booru/site uses.
>>7957375 Loomis gives you the construction technique which is important. You can go with any construction method you want really as long as it works for you.
For appeal, you need to study artists you admire. Copy how they draw features and apply that to your loomis/whatever heads.
>>7957452 games often cheat their lighting and some even deform 3d models based on camera angles, especially if they're stylized it's easier to learn construction from real things, because you won't have to second guess their plausibility as 3d objects
>>7957462 >it's easier to learn construction from real things That's a good idea, thanks. I was mostly thinking of games because I wanna start doing some fanart and I was thinking of copying the game's existing art to figure out how they proportion the bodies and such, but if I did it with real people it'd be more widely applicable.
>>7957463 you can do both, try doing simple observation copies from game art (to learn the proportions, as you say), then applying said proportions to a constructed figure
>>7957470 >observation copies Just trying to basically trace the art? Well, not trace, since I don't think I'm supposed to actually trace to learn mostly. >applying said proportions Building my own new constructed figure with those proportions?
>>7957336 Someday I hope to reach a point where I can focus on art full time and playing the social media game will maybe help facilitate that >>7957351 >>7957361 >>7957364 I’ll try a balance of both pieces and studies then, thanks for the advice
>>7957473 yeah just do plain 2d copying at first, with the intent of reproducing it 1:1 then take all those observations and apply them in a constructed drawing, you can use a pose reference for inspiration
>>7957488 You live in the US don't you? If you want to make a living (and don't forget planning for retirement) you need a significant income stream to make art full time worth it. Cute and slightly lewd drawings just aren't going to cut it. Third worlders have it much easier in this regard.
I am not using my sakura pigma brush pen so soon, it is really difficult to control. I should make line art with fineliners that might be better, until I learn to use a brush pen properly.
This is a challenge I want to tackle. In the past, I avoided finishing drawings because I liked the sketch and did not want to ruin it.
Alright I think I'm done with this. Don't wanna spend too long on it since I probably won't post it anywhere. Thanks for all the replies and critiques, I'll keep them in mind for the future.
>>7957549 I did consider it, I just prefer it this way. The gesture, wrist and arm critiques were totally valid though, I was just too far into the process to really apply most of it. Like I said, keeping it in mind while doing my next drawing.
>>7957368 this is my best drawing yet, finally i tried backgrounds and shading i think it looks pretty decent for a first time, doing values is way easier than coloring.
Aaaah, fuck this thread. I'm going to start drawing lolis, at least /lsg/ is comfy and will give a minimum attention to everyone. Don't even bother trying to bring me back, I'm done. And I hope the hatkid comes back to derail this once again.
>>7957585 Dont listen to the horsecock nigger. You are fine. >>7957602 You have to be fucking retarded to think /lsg/ is any better with all the shitposting subhumans shitting up the place and the autistic schizo who reports everyones blogs.

>>7957613 haha thanks heres another tried some coloring... and """rendering"" i know i need to get better at drawing first... but still any advice for rendering/coloring also would be appreciated too mostly i just do a base color layer put light and dark shades on top then blend as i see fit
>do some studies on something >too afraid to try and redraw it from imagination without reference >too afraid to try and draw something for myself with what i just drew >go back to studies
Something about her expression made me think, yeah, I can draw this. But then I got to the outfit and realized, this is a kind of elaborate outfit. Despite this being beyond my current skill level, I still had some fun...
>>7957804 you usually hear 'big shapes to medium to small' because of this you spend so much time getting the face right but then you see the rest of the proportions are kinda wrong it's better to have the overall idea right and then figure out the details
>>7957880 There is like 70 different methods to draw faces, just pic one and draw 10 and then come back and cry, i wont give you any yous until i see those 10 faces, when i started i also sucked at drawing faces but when i practiced loomis i instantly improved, i had fun drawing superman looking homer simpsons, i had fun drawing handsome squidwards, have fun drawing a fucking face instead of crying to be perfect i have seen you do this every single fucking day and im tired of you.
These were hard >>7957844 Really nice >>7957776 Wow, I can really appreciate the amount of work this must have taken >>7957527 You could try sketching with fineliners or brush pen instead of pencil for awhile
feel like doing some requests again but i dont really want to do street fighter but idunno what else >>7957911 >shit artists (except for a few) hey thanks
>>7958074 i selected that pose specifically because it is complex, the body is rotating in a weird way that you have to imagine in your brain to make it make sense, the only thing i dont understand about the image is what the hell is holding her upwards, her feet cant be it, i think its the tube thats helping her, it sounds dumb to talk about this but it is necessary to understand how to draw it.
Drawing boxes is starting to pay off. Im beginning to feel the forms. I need to focus more on which lines are neccessary to show the form, I tend to add to many. Also i need to learn how feet are build.
>>7956989 Definitely Tumblr, it revolves a lot around new and unique fan content, while Twitter is not made for art and Pixiv is exclusively for animus. Idk about Deviantart I mostly see irony poisioned art there.
Any other tradfags have an easier time drawing while standing over the paper rather than sitting in front of it either flat on the table or on an easel? Even if it fucks up my back I still draw way better than I do sitting
Where do you draw the line between using guidelines and overlays to get the most accurate proportions and placements of the subject you are studying, and relying on that stuff like a crutch so that you never learn to draw without those things?
If I draw with guidelines and overlays, I never train my eye to spot those discrepancies. But if I try to eyeball it, I never learn the true relationships between the shapes because I'm not being accurate. It's a hard cycle.
>>7958269 have a clear split between training and creation during training, use your eyes and verify afterwards by overlaying during creation, use whatever tools at your disposal to get the result you envision
>>7958269 What do you mean by “guidelines and overlays” exactly? Usually when people say “guidelines” they just mean “drawing construction lines”, which is obviously something that almost everyone does to some degree or other.
>>7958285 >which is obviously something that almost everyone does to some degree or other. Perhaps it's not so obvious. Observing some professionals at work will show that they use those infrequently if at all.
>>7958061 Nice ref, interesting pose. I gave it a try. >>7958124 Lovely piece of art! >>7958218 This is really nice! >>7958342 Monke man looking good right there! >>7958375 Interesting! >>7958045 NNNOICE!!!! >>7957904 Fucking beautiful! >>7957813 SAVED!!!! >>7957350 Your stuff is amazing, saving all of it! Thanks for sharing this! >>7957964 AAAhhhh! I have to try that pose now! I think her calf may need some fixing or something, I'll give it a try.
>>7958406 good drawing, did u draw it like that because you couldnt draw it the way it was in the reference? i know i cant she rotates in weird ways on that image.
I will never be able to do a quick sketch that is both fast and accurate. It's just not possible for me. Been trying for years and it's just never happened. I can be accurate if I go slow. But I have to choose between speed and accuracy. It's really frustrating but I think that's just the way it is.
I have just learned about the picture plane, stationary point, ground plane, eye level, center of vision, and other details. Thus, I'm no more /beg/ level. I now claim the title of advanced /beg/. Please, treat me with the equivalent respect from now on.
>>7958430 I dunno why you begs love focusing on medical tier anatomy right out of the gate. This is how you end up becoming a bored studycel with no original works. Focus on simpler forms first, you can study from other artists. Once you get mileage and understand where your weak points are is when these types of studies start to become more useful.
>>7958437 it's because most artist anatomy books don't actually tell you they're supposed to be used a reference after you already have some basic understanding of general anatomy. They give you the names of the muscles, label them, etc, but none of it is helpful to somebody that doesn't even know how the muscles interlock or fit together on the body. It's why I always recommend something like Morpho's simplified forms which is an easy to digest book that serves as the frame work for your choice of a more advanced anatomy book so you can go through and refine your form knowledge after the fact.
>>7958437 >focus on simpler forms you're right, i was trying to do that by trying to chunk down the muscle groups into their groups and not trying to detail all of the muscles of the flexors, extensors, etc but i probably have to simplify further
>>7958144 Are you the Street Fighter guy? Try drawing this thing or more pictures of M. Bison smiling since it filtered you apparently. Gotta grind on the shit that makes your brain hurt
Drawing is the most horseshit retarded hobby and I hate it I feel bad I can't draw, I force myself to draw after not drawing for days, it comes out like shit and my wrist still hurts from being forced to take a break because if I draw for more than 2 hours a day my body implodes apparently How am I ever going to get good when I can't focus, if I force myself to it comes like shit and I can't be consistent because my body is too weak to hold a pencil And if I feel bad I can't even manage to draw how do you 4chan people manage isn't like everyone here supposed to be a massive fat faggot how the fuck do you wake up and go "better draw some boxes" instead of idek like fucking throwing rocks at ducks in the park Fuck my worthless blogposting thread spamming faggot life Why do bad things always happen when I start drawing this hobby is a fucking curse
>>7958494 I don't even know anymore I'm so inconsistent I can't track it I don't know a year ? More ? Less I don't know it doesn't even matter I don't fucking practice for like half of it it's all faggot retard hedonism drawings and all these people are studying all day like I don't know maybe this isn't for me I dont know I literally habe been getting worse the more I draw lately because I'm just not motivated to draw at all I just need to get my life together these drawing issues are just a side effect from being a societal cockroach my bad for shitting the thread I just need to vent somewhere >>7958498 Penis
>>7958491 less crying more drawing rebuild your dopamine receptors after abusing them playing video games or other instant gratification stimulation your whole life
>>7958499 that's your progress after an entire year, with a digital interface and the reference right next to what you're drawing? I don't mean to be mean, but maybe could try actually building a routine and putting in some effort to improve, instead of half assing it? That's just setting yourself up for failure at that point.
>>7958500 I'm not a rat I'm a cockroach and a fraud that can only do 2d drawings and half copy shit >>7958501 You'd be right if it wasn't for bigger mental problems being at cause I need attention and validation permanently or I rot apart And the n1 person that actually gave that is gone so like I'm back to being a permanently complaining whore Not even games feel good Therapy didn't do shit Idek I just need to get a bf and lobotomize him or pray he's desperate enough to not run away >>7958505 Twitter but I'm probably gonna delete it >>7958506 I tried but I just got burnt out I try to study and I see no changes in anything idek I'm trying to study more again with serious and tremendously boring stuff like ""construction"" and ""perspective" that I avoided permanently that got me stuck here but it's so boring I could die and now I don't get validation so its like for what
>>7958499 >one year It's ok, you're lightyears ahead of hatkidcuck who has also been drawing for a year. You're ahead of p*ige too, who has been drawing for at least 1.5 years. Take the wins where you can.
>>7958515 I literally don't study for more than like 20 minutes and go look at flies every other minute that's the problem I literally cannot study even doing it this poorly is forced I just cannot care about studying Ugh idk why I had to get my depressive episode when the p*igeoid was there I'm out >>7958516 I literally only posted what you saw here n not my old drawings because I delete accounts like they're condoms. If you want to see my drawings add me on discord (laguna54345). You will be removed in a random interval not any more or any less than around 2 digits in terms of hours. Whatever. I've had no time to really draw much lately because the bed was calling so I don't have more to post and I already feel less depressed so I will stop shitting the thread. Sorry. The tranny menace will eventually reemerge, possibly.
>>7958491 >my wrist still hurts from being forced to take a break because if I draw for more than 2 hours a day my body implodes you might be gripping your pen too hard, try putting your thumb on the pen's button if possible, train your hand to grip it lightly
>>7958508 even if you were a neglected child, instant dopamine and on demand gratification and stimulation is incredibly damaging to your brain, just because video games no longer give the same output suddenly dating someone wouldn't be the key either you'd just be using them as a proxy for immediate gratification and will just create heavier emotional damage later down the line. The only path forward is to accept your ineptitude but maintain the desire to get better. and push forward bit by bit. Your sketches from your pictures even after only limited practice time still show distinct development and that's all drawing is, slowly developing skills through repetition of the arm and training of the eye. maybe you should just find someone who is also beginning and just urge eachother forward, its what helps me.
Also, I have something annoying me a bit. I'm practicing gestures, figure drawing, shapes, form, etc and while while using refs it seels like I'm not having any problem with that applying everything. But once I try to do anything from imagination, something makes me feel a bit anxious applying steps like construction and makes me mess everything (the upper right drawing from >>7958530 for example). After stressing over it for a while, I started drawing separated parts individually first and go incrementing the drawing with other parts and it somehow started to flow better? Is it alright? Can I draw the whole face first before going to torso/clothes and so on, until it feels alright? Isn't there any trap I can fall doing this?
>>7958534 >>7958535 Well.... thanks. The thing is that when normally trying to go big, I usually start using construction to get shapes here and there, but what I wants the most (normally the eyes and face) usually gets fucked and I just can't feel how to fix it. >>7958536 At >>7958530, the 2 upper drawings were by imagination using construction. Bottom right was observation from a ball-jointed doll I have and right was a copy. Everything at >>7958531 was from imagination focusing entirely on the eyes first, which I liked more.
>>7958522 >You will be removed in a random interval not any more or any less than around 2 digits in terms of hours. nevermind, you sound annoying as fuck
>>7958541 I have none. >>7958479 How can one even conceptualize this thing from a below pov angle? Would I need to find a dinosaur jaw or something as a ref?
Why does it look like she's in front of an explosion lmao. I think I'll try this again and skip 7507 Warm Golden. I used the colorless blender on the left (applied after layers of each color, then reapplied the colors over it), and didn't do any on the right. I'd like it to be a bit more seamless than this.
>>7958593 that depends on what you want to show in your composition you can use blender and figure out what works best for your idea but any choice will involve fixing the figure a bit too
>>7958603 cool as always of course it's a matter of taste and style, but I think the mechs would look cooler with a more proportional torso and hips, right now they're kinda small
Hey guys im not really looking for critique here just showing off a piece from imagination. Quick sketch took 3-7 mins, could i get some ideas as to how to improve it? Namely whether anything obviously sticks out as weird or if you have ideas on changing pose, sizes, etc. Also how do i draw faces? Im really having trouble with that
>>7957964 Thanks for the ref bro, I think I'll never be able to do those curvy girls like I would like to >>7958410 THANK YOU!!!! To be honest I always do that "weird" thing with the refs. I like over extended torsos and other "grotesque" details as my personal crabs here describe, and they detest so much lol. If I do a perfect copy o the ref I feel like I wasted an opportunity of doing something "interesting and original" instead.
>>7958415 incredible, I wish I could draw like that. >>7956170 You're crazy talented! Blows my mind when grotesque coomer artists can do this as well, it's fucking unreal! >>7956342 That looks good enough already. Her face/head can't be more beautiful than that. Body is correct, colors are nice. Just keep at it. Call it done, and do another one. >>7956417 Oh my god you're back. You always do the most beautiful stuff here. >>7956487 Pretty nice rendering style! >>7956651 Best in thread candidate >>7957027 I love your work >>7957173 You're crazy, that chair sketch is a 10 out of 10
trying to copy this took me 2 and half hours. I see where im off because I've overlayed them. I don't mind doing a hundred of these as advised to me, but what is the goal with these exercises? I guess just working on observation?
>>7958693 be as precise as possible redraw until you get pretty close, this will make you more sensitive to angle changes overtime, this will take time its a slow process
I've been told that as a complete beginner I shouldn't pay attention to fundamentals and just focus on drawing for a few months for mileage before worrying about studying anything Is this true?
>>7958784 just getting into the habit of drawing every day or so would be a good first goal. jumping straight into studying might make it not fun. most artists got out the the low-mid beg stage as a kid. then started studying once they got more serious about art.
>>7958810 I used to draw weekly until 2019, and since then I’ve been drawing every day. However on weekdays I draw fairly little (<1h mostly), on the weekend more (1-3 hours). I'm sure you can improve at a much faster rate if you draw more but personally, I'm happy with my progress. I found a way to balance work and art whilst not entirely sacrificing other activities.
How long did it take you to get used to a screenless tablet? Especially if you came from drawing on the screen.
Been using an iPad, but I'm kinda tired of the small screen when I have a large desktop monitor with beautiful colors, and the fact that I have to pay monthly to use my favorite software, CSP. I already got a lifetime license on my computer for CSP, so I'm thinking about getting a screenless tablet and wondering if you had any trouble getting used to it.
>>7959021 You can do multiple redraw sketches to slowly move from a rough sketch to lineart. The truth is that most first drafts have rough sketchy lines. Calm yourself
>>7958897 I wouldn’t say those are symbol eyes. They seem to fit well with the style you were going for. Maybe try adding more detail to the eyeball/pupil/iris itself instead of just doing a big dark spot.
Studying in summer sucks balls I'm just sweating over the paper Also the mina has real ass blood but it fucked up the drawing and also I got lazy midway Studying is boring I should do a bit more right now though
>>7959051 He's literally right though the video is just an indication of patient and careful lines Even his sketches aren't messy btw he shits our perfect lines in all his courses afaik
>>7959065 Can you take 5 seconds on blowing my dick and use your phone as a second monitor on the way? Or maybe putting the image on the canvas? What's the complaint gonna be now? >>7959067 I have to get up my chair sometimes don't tell me that's not rough
>>7959069 your pincers are too short for me, they don't ever reach my ankles crab and im wearing boots >>7959072 i dont use refs im imagination maxxing
>>7959082 yeah, fuck off crab >>7959083 >how do i draw like these artists >do it like this artist i glaze instead!! nigga im not gonna do that im not a slave, i aim for the stars, if youre happy with slowly drawing refs then do that dont drag me down crab
>>7958576 Looks awesome. Maybe I would pose the legs differently. >can you tell what direction the main light source is coming from? At this stage, no.
>>7958989 >any trouble getting used to it In today terms, the answer should be "Yes". Because everything has been so dumb down for the easy access and pay to win culture. Honestly It is not easy getting used to it, and it will take time, 2 months? 6 months? depends on each different user. But you do get used to it, and it is so much worth it. It should be a required ability if you're a digital artist. The pros of being able to use a screenless tablet surpasses the cons infinitely. There's no cons if you think about it. It is way cheaper, it is ergonomically preferable (specially when working long hours daily), technically preferable (no weird issues and troubleshooting) and the ending result of what you do it's the same anyways.
>>7959144 quads arent supposed to be symmetrical + your outlines are starting to get very unnatural + her left boot is completely sideways for some reason when her leg is almost front facing + elements dont flow into one another + no knees
>>7959144 her left boot looks very out of perspective as for the design: it's not very coherent, there are cool parts like the shoulder pads but overall it's lacking shapes that unify it
>>7959149 Oh yeah, I see the boot thing now. I don't really know what you mean by 'elements don't flow into one another'. If this is design lingo, I don't know anything about it in the first place.
>>7959150 Hmm, do you think maybe if I made her kneepads more like her shoulder pads it'd be more coherent? I'm guessing that's what you mean by shapes that unify it.
>>7959139 Okay that's all I needed to hear. Thank you. One more thing... do you actually use screenless tablet daily, or are you merely prescribing it because you think it sounds cool while you use a screen tablet?
>>7959183 I'm so drunk I can't copy boxes. Should I die over this anon. Tell me. Actually I just implies I could copy them if I wasn't drunk. Not true. For this I will commit seppuku
>>7959213 Ok. I don't want to draw anymore so I'm going to drink more and cry to shitty 2000s emo bands no one gives a fuck about anymore. Bye. >>7959217 I'll rotate the forms when I can do the forms in the first place
>>7959164 yeah, but I'm not a pro in the "business" sense of the word. I do these scribbles in between other non related tasks just because the tablet is there on the end side of the desk with a dedicated monitor and krita always open. It helps to hit "refresh" on the brain. It took me like 6 months to get used to the tablet years ago, because I'm kinda lazy. Can't focus on finishing stuff.
>>7958797 =D!!!!! That shoe on the foreground is fucking glorious! >>7958759 Beautiful and cool >>7958703 Based Detective Conan enjoyer >>7958616 =) !!! I love your minimalist liminal comfy-core theme! Very artistic, framing worthy. >>7958613 I really like her torso and hip-thighs shape/design. Saved for ref! >>7958603 You keep posting I keep collecting! >>7958788 I fucking love those little boots!!! >>7958996 Fucking excellent! MORE! >>7958897 Maybe add one little low opacity spec of light on the side of the iris?
>>7959226 Thank you <3 It helps to have advice when I can see the work you produced with the screenless tablet. I think I will give the screenless tablet an attempt, since I can get one for relatively cheap.
>>7959250 You're so smart. Now that I drew tired and depressed, I created something so utterly dogshit I cannot accept as my last drawing so I can't kill myself for now. I wish I did it in a new page so I could burn it.
>>7959297 No problem! Though I FORGOT one very important thing, if you go for a screenless get a MEDIUM sized one. The small ones are useless. The medium size is perfect. Sorry for picrel, I had to do a naughty one because of the weird pose lol. >>7958786 Very inspiring pose actually >>7959234 =D !!! <3 >>7959245 These are pretty cool! >>7959276 Very artistic! almost Alfons Muchaesque >>7959316 lol, that's a pretty good attempt actually, face is quite pretty >>7959319 Best one yet? >>7959344 Thanks Monka!!!! >>7959330 BASED 3DS ENJOYER >>7959144 I lover her face-thing, pretty cool and she looks great
Wasn't really feeling it, decide to just roughly color in the sketch. Ended up taking longer lmao, should've just lined it up on a new layer; atleast then the lines would be clean instead of muddy. Mostly, I think I gave up because I couldn't properly capture the figure with different parameters. I'm stagnating.
>>7959383 It's good to know how to make a stroke in any direction, but it's not very crucial in the grand scheme of things. Just draw normally and you'll gain that skill over time.
>>7959383 Animators used to have big rotating tables so they could spin the paper around and always make a stroke in whatever direction they were comfortable with. Just do whatever works for you
>>7959469 whenever I am in a rut like that I just allow myself to fuck around and mess up, just allow myself to do whatever on the canvas, sometimes I play around with concepts I'm learning, most of the time it's just low stakes destress random bullshit go. >>7912483 This is a good thread for doing random bullshit >>7958278 A good thread for just trying to draw things in your style or playing with retarded ideas >>7933849 Good activity for fucking around with shapes >>7862151 Good thread for fucking around with your style >>>/i/ is always good for random things to fuck around with
>>7959130 The idea is nice and fun, but the ritual table and the character don't feel like they're part of the same piece. I would define a horizon line and start moving things around until they feel more cohesive and connected.
Always keep in mind the relative scale of the characters compared to the environment. For example, that table should be large enough to hold a resting figure, or at least that's the kind of setting the illustration seems to be trying to convey, a ritual scene of some sort.
Good work. I really like it keep going!
>>7959298 These look way better. The eyes are really nice, great work, keep going!
Iwould spend some time working on the face outline. Think about what each change in angle is trying to abstract the jaw, cheekbone, temple, etc. That's the most noticeable issue right now, at least to me.
>>7959312 He is still missing the angles and inflections, it's too early for him to get rid of them. Grids aren't crutches, they're tools for training the eye.
>>7959383 Just draw and do your best. Over time, you'll start to see what needs work and what needs to change.
>>7959449 I'll help you with this one after the weekend if you're willing to wait! I got a lot of work this week on my plate that I'm finishing up so I can't do a redline rn
>>7959474 thank you for spoonfeeding me a horizon line and painting over it. yeah i really have no theory of mind for perspective haha, definitely need to study more many many thanks
>>7959528 Take things easy. Composition is far more important, and the biggest issue in your work is the relative size of objects, e.g. the size of the table compared to the size of the character. Perspective is part of composition; it helps you tell a story. My advice is to focus on one point perspective for now. You can do so many things with just one point perspective.
>>7959494 thanks! that was actually a quick study of the knight of gold from five star stories mamoru nagano is really great at mecha and fashion, big inspiration for me alongside vintage shoujo and bl manga
not sure if this is elaborate enough for critique but i drew this earlier and im quite proud of it. im planning on doing digital art in the future but for now its just graphite pencil on paper and occasionally watercolor painting
>>7959592 oh i wasnt trying to copy tkmiz's art style here, i was just doing my own thing. though he is a big inspiration of mine so i have copied his style before and will study it more in the future. im kinda afraid of developing my style to be too similar to my inspirations so i try to use my own ideas often
still looking a bit choppy so there's one more tricks twitterfags have that i need to discover
>>7959588 fucking baased >>7959566 yeah bro he just spent weeks and months writing that shit to fill space and waste your time basically, ignore it >>7959130 i can "tell" where the light direction is because of the cast shadow, that doesnt mean it's lit properly, the drawing basically has no shading >>7959341 i would suck his dick etc but im not sure the "ink pools" effect you do look good, the whole thing look better without it anatomy is chopped but it doesnt even matter desu yes the hatching is so-so and it looked better without it, i think the main problem is complete lack of precision and also the lines interjecting at near 90 degree angle when you're supposed to rotate like 30 degrees when adding new hatching layers Also what is that... thing under his chest
>>7959605 Oh i tried to draw tits when the original idea was to draw a male, i didnt really know how to fit them so i kind of tried to fit some sacks in there, even i tought it didnt look good but i was already tired of the drawing. I will try to improve the other things by practicing this week, hatching is gonna be the hardest one i think, is there anything in specific that really needs improving?
>>7959642 I tried using his courses and the repetition of doing step by steps of every small bit over and over made me want to shoot myself. I genuinely get tired at just hearing his voice atp. He always says the same shit too.
>>7959645 people who do challenges are the only gmi in these threads so it's worth it >>7959646 >the repetition of doing step by steps of every small bit over and over it's the jap way
>>7959659 Well clearly it worked then. Maybe I should get back on his courses. Once I finish what I already started before I start doing 5 courses half assedly at the same time like usual
Im so fucking cooked, I feel my drain dripping out of my ears. Im absolutely and irredeemably brain rotten, its over. I legitimately do not know what to draw, Im completely out of ideas, I get in front of a paper and I freeze, and my drawing has regressed so much its unreal.
Draw digital. Wrist no like. Cannot. Draw physical. No resize. No undo. Try to erase soft pencil line, can still see it. Head sized like pea. Cannot solve. >>7959714 Lacoocoo
>>7959717 the figure looks alright, just move on except focus on the mistakes the next time. It would be better if you just drew it again seperately than keep erasing and redoing the same thing on trad
I'm actually going to make it this summer. None of the jobs I applied to wanted to hire me so I have nothing to do except draw until uni starts again in fall
>>7959718 The mistake is always proportions because I'm used to just selecting and resizing when I feel something is off. Trying to fix that but it's hard
What type of pencil is good for working with perspective and rulers? I'm using a basic one, but I have to keep sharpening it all the time to improve precision. Should I consider some other type of pencil?
reminder that overcast days are the perfect opportunity to go out and see the local value/color of things (and gather useful ref without that messy directional light)
Worst part about trad drawing is that ive no good way to transfer the drawings to digital unless I use my scanner and that's like. At least 1 minute away from me. And I'd have to plug it in. And set it up. >>7959756 https://youtu.be/IS-NIkmbo9k >>7959760 Mina deadlock but again
>>7959761 I got the printer working. And a haircut. And a shower. And now I have to take another shower because of the treatment I'm doing. Hopefully after enough caffeine I drop the demotivation and draw something now that my drawings are actually visible. >>7959786 You know perfectly you could've put it any other way.
>>7959843 Honestly I think the proportion of trannies in art communities is relatively low, at least when compared to other gaming/anime adjacent communities
>>7959723 Mechanical drafting pencil. They are specifically designed for your use case. I find that even at 0.5mm it'll get dull unless you have an autorotating one like the kuru toga. Try 0.2mm - 0.4mm lead.
Hmm. Hm hm hm hm hm. Hmm... You know, I don't really understand how to do the corners of like, where the top part of the window meets the wall part of it. If that makes sense.
Is this the correct way to draw a hand I am only now realizing after it's finished that you're typically not going to draw a perfectly straight hand in this position.
Um. How the eff are you supposed to draw stuff without copying a reference. Even if I try to just loosely base the drawing off of a reference, it ends up looking bad if I don't strictly copy the pose of the reference. Wtf
Guys I was drawing for too long on a shit position n it made me nauseous I also took 4 coffees and 4 energy drinks but that's besides the point Check ur postures.
>>7960155 Dude me too. I had like two coffees and a decaf, but I think the decaf is still affecting me. Also my posture was so bad as I was hyperfixated on copying the reference. Now I feel so bad... gonna go stretch and hopefully feel better
>>7960156 I just got forced to take a break because I was about to vomit I didn't even figure I was feeling bad because I was so distracted from music Hope u recover I'm still fucked only posting cuz image limit got reached
Guysa my new discord lagunamarina_ guys now that I can spam I post it I swear I'm stable and won't remove you and then delete the account in 2 hours I swear >>7960183 Lagtroon. I like that. Sounds cute.
>>7960185 >>7960188 guroshotaanon. He may have been banned permanently before and Jannies are on his ass. I don't know what he did, but, he may deserve a second chance. I wish he would stop the guro thing tho.
>>7960195 They wouldn't have added you if they weren't ok with interacting.. steam friends not the same as discord friends no one uses steam 2 talk. Just say hi urself n then ask for discord if you really wanna be their friend (potentially) >>7960197 So we're okay with shota but draw the line at guro. I see how it is.
>>7960202 >FF7 Rebirth for the third time. Been putting it off even tho I quite enjoyed ff7 remake Is it rlly that good or are you just autistic asf about it?
>>7960201 I never got into slay the spire myself, deck building isn't really my thing. I've been playin Re9 since it finally went on sale. >>7960202 I only played wlden ring once at launch. I didn't really see the replay value since you could redo your build so easily whenever. What is there to still experience after four playthroughs? >>7960207 Lmao
>>7960211 Man I tried resident evil shit is scary as fuck I went around shooting everything got softlocked off of that and uninstalled If only I had a big strong smart bf to carry me through it.. sigh.... >>7960213 Shit I guess I'll keep it on the backlog then lmao
>>7960211 I kinda just like experiencing a lot of the areas and bosses again. Also I'll do challenges like no using the horse and no fast travel. So it feels like a journey.
>>7960200 forza horizon 6 overwatch unfortunately also unfortunately looking at fortnite again since the new season looks cool also bought ace combat 7 since it was on sale and thinking about getting lost judgement so i need to play those
>>7960215 I'm also quite a coward when it comes to horror games. I can make do when I know I can defeat the enemies and make areas safe, but if the enemies resurrect or something is unkillable that keeps chasing you. I go full on coward mode. >>7960216 Fair enough. I remember when I was younger I played borderlands 2 through with each of the six characters and that was enjoyable experience, but these days I don't really do more than one playthrough of a game unless I've played it last like +5 years ago.
>>7960227 Dude like 3 people fucking revived on me I was like "well this shouldn't be much of a problem" and turns out that was the last I heard of my 2 mags The games that actually fuck me up are ones where there's not even a chance of fighting back or ones that r like indie and everything feels uncanny as fuck I just don't play scary games if I don't got someone with me I can't handle scary stuff. Same goes for movies. Fundamentally just not my style.
