When drawing with your elbow/shoulder, do you keep your wrist fixed? I noticed when drawing circles I do both elbow/shoulder and a bit of wrist rotation, and then tried keeping my wrist fixed. Seems like you have more control over the lines if it's fixed, but it's kind of counter intuitive and less flowy. Watchathink?

In CSP, is there anyway that I can blend or smudge pencil lines without making it look like the silliest digital artifact you've ever seen?

Pic related. If I were doing this in traditional pencil, I would just smudge the neck area a bit to blend the lines where they "intersect", but if I try to do it in CSP it comes out looking like she's melting.

Help please anons?

When drawing with your elbow or shoulder you keep the wrist fixed. That's just how it works. The three methods are just tools, to be used depending on the context.

Shoulder (elbow restricted, wrist locked), for when you want:
> long lines
> to cover large areas
> smoother, long curves
> to be more spontaneous

Wrist (elbow restricted, shoulder forgotten), for when you want:
> finer detail and motion
> smaller marks

Elbow: somewhere in between.

All that said, "less flowy" seems weird to me. I think what you're experiencing is a lack of experience drawing from the shoulder, and are therefore feeling constrained. In fact, when drawing from the shoulder, lines are much more flowy, and you can be pretty spontaneous with your motions when drawing from the shoulder. For example, if I'm drawing long strands of hair, I don't want to be drawing from the wrist because I'm thinking too much about where I'm going next.

So keep practicing drawing from the shoulder or the elbow, but don't fall into the trap of thinking that you should ALWAYS do that. There's a time and place for every tool available to you. You just need to learn where to use them.

It can if used as a practice tool. You should spend time imagining what the artist was thinking when he drew those lines. Try to consciously trace everything even the line widths.

How the hell do you understand form? I've been trying to construct shit out of boxes to get the depth, and while that's working I can't seem to synthesize the construction and gesture, or draw the forms properly using those boxes without them looking horribly stiff and geometric.

Reading Vilppu I tried his approach, but adding anything not boxlike and trying to combine those soft forms I end up losing the depth and it gets flatter as a result.

Feels like I'm banging my head against a wall and getting more retarded than I already was.

I'm sorry but I don't think this helps. KJG can pretty much shit out anything he wants because his visualization and mileage are years ahead.

I've been trying to do the stuff he talks about frequently (breaking things down into simple shapes, trying to rotate those shapes in my head, etc.) but I end up losing the gesture and the motion and it ends up very stilted, like a building.
Conveying those basic shapes I'm already doing, but anything beyond that and I don't know how to map it to those without it getting lifeless and robotic.

My drawings lack that life that goes into the more rounded complex forms, like the subtle curvature of a limb or that lifeline carried through a figure, but whenever I attempt gesture or using anything other than those solid simple shapes, it looks like a flat symbol drawing because I'm trying to avoid that roboticism that comes with my boxes.

Close the tab and go draw. Use a timer like instantboss and do not stop until you did a session (e.g. 1h). Then take a break (15m), and do another one. Switch subjects. If you need ideas just go through your image folder or pinterest, but set a time limit for that and if you run out of time you have to run with what you found. You need something to beat your ass to get to work, but that something can also be something you set up

Moebius did a form of meditative drawing, as did a lot of other artists independently from one another. Basically you start drawing organic forms on a page without any goal or intending to represent anything and tie them together. I tried it, it's relaxing. Maybe you could try doing gestures with this goal in mind as well, no pressure of success just rhythm and flow

You can start with watercolor, get a koh i noor pan set (pic related, it's very cheap but really good) and a few cheap brushes.

The paper might be expensive but you don't need the best one when starting out.

CSP for sure. Wish I could stomach the fucking UI. I use procreate, but look at Dave Rapoza's stuff. He's pretty much only doing line work in CSP. His little pen brush is delicious.

Even on desktop CSP was a nightmare for me.

I'm working on a movie scene study, and I started by tracing the scene in Photoshop to build a perspective grid, then I trace the grid on paper, is this detrimental to my growth? I was thinking it was a good idea so I can get it set up good on my paper first. I tried it without tracing and when it translated onto paper the grid was way too small and up close.

I want to start inking my drawings instead of using nothing but pencils and charcoal.
What do I need? Ballpens aren't cutting it...

[Anonymous No.4173609]

Dip pen with a G nib, brush pen, some good markers, or if you would prefer try using ink wash techniques if you want more control and consistency over markers, definitely a higher learning curve.

Why is clip studio lagging so much? i used to use a pretty old version and it did non of that but all the newer versions i tried do this, when you try to do like start
a new line fast it just cant register it, you need to start it slowly for it to get going and even then it sometimes lags mid line, i have it on an ssd, and i have 16gb ram,
i checked the allocated memory on the performance settings and its way more than enough, photoshop and sai never do this they both draw very smoothly, i cant wrap my head around what's going on with it

Hi anons, I’m in need of help, the past 2 and half month I have been stuck with the torso, I can draw heads, bands, legs whatever just fine, but my torso will always just look bad, too boxy. I have been through Hampton, vlippu, and others. It’s just doesn’t click with me. I can draw torso forms separated just fine. Any other recommend resources that helped you please?Thanks in advance.

Late reply but no, I've been using a ClearPoint 0.9 mm Paper Mate mechanical pencil for a while, I've considered using a pen for the exercises but the only real problem is that I can't draw from the shoulder with it.

I've moved on to DrawaBox to get better line control and while it's been fun I feel like I'm doing it mindlessly and not learning anything.

I've not had this issue. Check brush options to see if there are any corrections, stabilization, or post-processing turned on. I've never had this issue. Brush spacing or possibly something bound to brush speed. Possibly a driver thing too, who knows with how shitty tablet drivers and art programs are.

>>4175720
DaB is a meme. move to some other books like a perspective, figure, or whatever interests you. line confidence will come in time. There should be no difference in drawing from the shoulder whether you use a pen or pencil, you're making up limitations.

Does anybody know of a good pencil brush for CSP? Real Pencil is pretty good, but it doesn't take into account the direction that I'm drawing in. I think the four most important aspects of a pencil would be:

1. texture
2. pressure sensitivity for opacity
3. tilt
4. some feather, especially tilted


The issue I have with 100% of the pencils I tried is that the tilt doesn't take into consideration the direction that I'm drawing in. So it tilts just fine, but when I draw perpendicular to the tilt it doesn't taper.

Can somebody please help? I don't know enough about brush settings to be able to pull this off myself.

I kind of understand the cone of vision but how am i supposed to use it if I want my picture plane/ everything i want to be undistorted to be my entire sheet of paper? Am I supposed to use sheets of paper outside to put the vantage points and the station point?

How do you make a webtoon. Like you how it's an inifty scrolling comic? Do you draw it on one big canvas or slice it together later on? I have like a 8gb computer so I need to know which is easier on ram

huh i guess I could make a way bigger canvas and once i'm done with putting everything down I could just crop it and continue working

The problem is on paper though my desk isn't too big but I guess that's more of a me problem.

Seems too much of a hassle maybe I should wing it out.

what's the /ic/ consensus on learning realism before stylization?

Is self-scrutiny a feasible substitute for outside perspective?
That is, why should I seek critique if I think I know where I'm flawed?

[Anonymous No.4182550]

>>4181880
it helps tremendously. you should be able to draw "objectively" as in realism. stylization comes from abstracting realism so it helps to understand what's there when inventing a style. you should practice both but focus on accurate drawings before "muh style"

About to study James Gurney's "Color and light" so I can up my coloring game. Is there some way to go about it, like focusing in certain chapters and then creating practices? I was planning to read the whole thing while jotting down notes.

Also on a side note, is the hard round brush and blending a good way to do coloring, or is it really just a meme?

Hard round brush is not a meme. Use it with a modified amount of "Flow %" if you're using photoshop and use color picker to gradually shift between colors.
