6 hours after what? Post what you did in 6 hours

If its 6 pages of gestures, doodles etc, fantastic. If it's one small face in the middle of a page, once again, you're not following advice

ed; do yourself a huge favour. Go grab a few pages of either the loomis or hogarth (or both) books humari posted in your other thread, and copy a few. If you don't want to do that/don't like drawing anatomy, draw something you like. Google comic book pictures, famous paintings, famous people, anything. There's no 'grasping' it unless you're actually proper ally studying anatomy, which is completely unnecessary right now. All you need to do is to pick up your pencil and draw.

If all else fails, seek out the book of atomespy.

Took 4 hours on this piece just a freehand copy of this picture.
It is by no means perfect.

Also remember that when you first get around to hands that it is just as big as your head. It might look off a bit but as for anatomical sizing it is usually correct.

I understand :D

Before I post, I will make it perfect :D


No.

The best advice I can give you is to never erase. Cut the eraser off your pencil and draw like there is no tomorrow.

Mess up? Keep drawing. Fuck it up so bad you can't see what you're doing anymore? Scrap it and draw again.
Do NOT get attached to any of your drawings. Consider everything in your first year steaming dog crap so you don't try to stick to something that's not working.

It's really just a rigorous process and your goal should never be to post something that looks good.

Your goal should be to post something that's an improvement of your last piece.

No, no no no no no.

Post everything. But don't draw with the intent of showing it off. You'll never experiment that way if you feel like you're always going to be judged.
Do what everyone in this thread has been saying and draw a million sketches, the quality is insignificant. In this case, quantity > quality.

Do NOT post once "good" piece. I want to see a million crappy ones.
