Do you mind me asking, what sort of things do you do to practice? I've noticed you've been critical of your art recently and I've wanting to help by maybe providing tips and encouragement. I'm not exactly a professional though, but hopefully I can still provide you with a trick or two.
I just start with the very simplest things and try to make the general shape resemble the works of others or a tutorial. I'm not terrible good at it though, my hands shake like mad and I'm half blind, so drawing it basically just flailing around for me. I have to go back and use splines to make it look half decent for any of my other pics, these just don't have that yet.
Yeah, but I wasn't was the thing. So I had to erase her legs and draw them again. That's a major part too, having to erase and draw parts of a picture over and over again until you like it. T_T I kept erasing and redrawing the foot for 20 minutes and it was still bad, but I had to move on.

Do you outline the framework skeleton first? It's a little spooky but it helps me a lot for getting poses right.
Posted by Suibelly 9 years ago Report
I've started trying to do that, though I don't know is the skeletons themselves are accurate in proportions.

They won't be at first probably. = A=; It's all about practice. I have trouble with proportions too. Today I almost drew a girl with bayonetta sized legs. Bayonetta has long legs. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2c/Bayonetta_body_sketches.jpg

That's not bad if you're aiming for that style I suppose.

I know that feeling all too well with hands and feet. Still can barely get them to look like anything.
