can't draw faces to save my life, gave up on it since my eraser ran out, can't do anymore since #poor and no eraser.

this is why i wish i had a pen for my tablet.

You can always 'cheat' and use a grid to help you when starting out.

i don't own a ruler, lol.

/e; looks like a freakin 2 year old drew this crap ;(

gonna keep looking at art i like and redraw it.

go to uncle muscle's progression thread for inspiration. It's a solid multi year progress thread that's a pretty solid example of trying hard and taking advice to improve with time and commitment.

will do ^~^ GD Is pretty dead atm, so i'll wait until people post cnc and helpful advice

i'll keep using humaris tho

i fucking love this art

Hey man, good stuff, that second attempt of yours is a big improvement on the first. It might not look that much prettier but the main forms are more accurate, your starting to make good use of the bean, the sphere, and the cylanders.


Some more general drawing tips that might help~

-If you have a printer, print out the reference, put it right next to your drawing. Much easier to draw that way instead of from a computer monitor.

-Really think about your line before you make it. Many of your lines look fuzzy, it's because you start drawing a line before you thought about the line. Take time to consider the line, is it a straight? a C curve? or an S curve? If it is anything more complex than those three lines, it requires more than one stroke. Keep it light at first if your afraid but make sure your pencil is traveling some distance.

-There is no "cheating" when your just starting, just training wheels, which help you learn faster. Measuring, grids, whatever, if it helps, do it. If you printed it out, you might even trace it first, and then try to draw it free hand after. Don't be afraid to draw the same image multiple times till you get it right, it might be boring, but it's very helpful.

-Don't get discouraged, take your time, and keep hustlin cuzzzzz

so many fuckups

thank you for the helpful advice!
