You're doing better TC?

Not really tbh.

Still dealing with the depression and the lack of sleep. The outpatient program was $500 a week so I couldn't afford that.

Move out in 3 weeks and I'm not even near ready. Falling into old patterns like gaming nonstop and being ambivalent to everything. Health wise I'm doing pretty decently at the least...40 pounds down so that's good. I haven't been on gamefaqs that much..half my active posts are probably in this topic.

Yeah gonna get together with my friend tomorrow and hang out. Haven't seen him since shortly after the hospital, so it should be fun. Gonna try our hand at Sonic Mania 2 player no save run.

Thanks for asking.

Glad to hear you're doing better. While gaming can be a good stress-reliever I recommend putting yourself on a schedule and pacing yourself on what you're doing. Once you get past that time, get off even if you have to force yourself to

How many do you have in queued, TC?

I honestly don't even know who's next.

Can't sketch very well lately and ink. Last drawing I did was two weeks ago, and I did it because I wanted to redraw some of my old favorites on my imgur.

Turned out pretty good.

Little better.

Day by day. Been gradually getting more sleep according to my fitness tracker at least. Don't have the manic energy anymore so being creative is really hard atm which is why I've been avoiding this topic.

I know. I have a day planner I've been using, and I'm going to schedule alarms on my phone a week before moving out.

Yes, very well.

Hey, if you're still doing this, it would be awesome if you could draw the following:

The pose would probably look somewhat like this (real picture):

@DocileOrangeCup

Forgot to take an eraser. Will buy one at the book store.



Fun anatomy thing. Head is really off and the right shoulder is off as well. Not happy on how the back arches. My micro USB for my Wacom is being delivered tomorrow and I won't be free until 6:00PM

Been moved in since Sunday. It's nice having my own room and I'm enjoying it so far.

Do you start with a gesture, or draw starting with the head?

I start with the head because usually that gives me the most trouble.

I'll try one real fast doing your way.

Have you tried Loomis's method for the head?

While I do start with a gesture, my problem is that I try to put in too much detail during that stage. It should be very loose approximations of the positions of the features rather than following the contour.

lol man it looks great. thank you.

I think I'm kinda getting it @Vol2tex

Watched the video did a quick doodle.



I'll do one where I highlight the skeleton. I think I need a bigger sketch pad.

Not bad, the positions of the features look better now. I would just say to practice more circles (spheres) so that the head has a real solid sense of volume.

I'm not the best at faces either:

But I am going to try out the Loomis method for it more.

I'll have to go through the topic and see who's next.

Been messing with the loomis technique that @Vol2tex mentioned and have been trying to draw with light and shadows.



Worked on this for 30 minutes or so...need to rework a lot of it.

Very well.

What I've been working on in any free downtime. I've had to read about 200 pages this week of text books. Need to knock out 70 pages today. Haven't had time to do much..only have 2 hours logged on my Dragon Quest VIII file and I got it 2 weeks ago.
---

@Sayoria I believe was next.

I must be sleep deprived or some shit. Shouldn't be that complicated of a drawing but I wanted to do blur effects for the ghost part of Gastly. I'll do a line art if I have time tomorrow because I have class until 6:00

Also you're like 2 years behind on your dances <_<.

@gatorsPENSbucs
@Vol2tex
@Kaname_Madoka

Any redos on the first page.

Haven't had a lot of time in general. 200 pages of History for the current week. 50 pages or so on the weekend if I want to read ahead so the load is lighter in the week. The other two classes I'm taking <_<.

I usually come home from class around 6:00PM. Read a bit, and then head to bed...

I've played 4 hours of video games over the past two weeks which is down significantly then when I was at home. Outside of that I don't really have any media might get a Hulu subscription, but that will lead to more procrastination.

It's intense.

I think they've been looking better since you've started trying the Loomis method.

Drawing is just so complex, but I hope you keep working at it. Even with Loomis, an understanding of anatomy and volume is what will really make the drawings better.

I've been feeling pretty down about my own art since I see people online 10 years younger than me already doing drawings like this:






It's just a bit depressing to have been drawing for 25 years and see 19-22 yeas olds who can draw way better than me.

Practice makes better.

That's why I stopped for a long time. When I turned 20 my creativity really took a nose dive, and it's when my bi-polar depression started appearing. There's some days I can't draw a figure sketch or basic cartoon..some days where I'm really feeling myself.

I never really cared for neo classicism. I get that it's technically impressive, but it's just so boring and pale. I really love modern/post modern/post post modern art.

But I've heard you need to be classically trained before going into abstract territory.

First inked sketch in 2 months I want to say. Barely getting my dexterity back.

@gatorsPENSbucs








If I had a brush pen I'd black everything to the left out and then crop it. I cropped it on my phone, but for some reason Imgur reverted to the original. I'll try cropping it on my computer real fast.

Holy shit man, that's awesome. A million thank you's probably isn't enough but I really do appreciate it.

And I hope your real life is going better, or at least on track to get better. Seem like a cool ass chill dude, with a ton of talent.

Brother nayr here is definitely improving. That woman portrait is one of the best I've seen from the lad.

I'm doing better.

Been busy as hell, but that's a lot better for my psyche than not being busy at all. They have a job fair on Wednesday, so I'm gonna try to find some work. Need money.

That last pic isn't in it's best state...



I want to say this or somewhere in between the final state and the second to last. I don't trust my light and shadows and then I go crazy with 2B-6B pencils.

@Kaname_Madoka

Is that Madoka in the picture? If not post one..because I don't watch that show.

Wait you just want me to recreated the drawing? That's not fun...

@Kaname_Madoka

I want to try and do it at a 3/4's angle and styllize it a bit more.

Anyways I have a shit load of time today and the next coming following ones. All the readings for class I've been doing I'm ahead of the lectures by 2 or 3 sessions so I don't have to read as much <_<. No tests coming up in the following weeks for the other classes, and I'm doing well in them. Really chill..

Haven't had a day where I just have to worry about going to lecture in awhile.
---

Yo @Vol2tex

How would I do this pose but it shifted by like 30 degrees? I want one of the hands up barely visible on the shoulder and elbow, the head tilted from 3/4's, and the other hand visible slightly. I want the backside of her facing out so I can have some fun with the dress ..

Hmmm. I'll be back have to get ready for class in a bit,

I want it a little less static.
---

Did a quick BS sketch of the pose in the pic.

I realize it is crooked, and I messed up on the hair but this is the basic idea.



This is more or less what I wanted to do, and I spent a lot less time on it.



Which I like a lot better, but her left arm should be up more which I have in a note and I need to work on the hair from the side view.

And if any of you couldn't tell I'm feeling a lot better :).
Which one would you prefer if I were to do a finished one? @Kaname_Madoka

The second one because that's the one you prefer

I think here, the legs could turn a bit more to match the perspective of the upper body. If you want to draw her facing a bit outward, the upper body would also have to tilt a bit forward. The best thing to do would be to lightly draw an oval (ribcage), a short cylinder emanating from the bottom, and a connection to a box (pelvis). From there, you can draw the box facing in the angle you want to and the ribcage will more easily be connected to it in the correct perspective.
