Did an airplain. Used a 3d model. only used it for nr1 then i tried to draw it in diffrent angles without looking at the model. ((sry for the bad line quality)).

Drew the same face twice and tried to shade on of them but i just cant seem to get this right. How many times should i draw this face / angle to truly understand it? Also i just cant understand shading. The value scale helps very little because i still dont understand values. But i would love some critique. Thx. sry bout the bad image. I use a h3 when i sketch.

Did some digging and found alot of stuff and some that i posted early on. But here are some that i like and would love to be able to replicate in my own style in the future. The once that i really want to be able to draw are the once with characters in them.

I am very new to art but i want to learn and master perspective so that i can move on to more advanced stuff later on. I will have to look upp some perspective masters for study. Btw is it okay if the images i pick are from say example a comic or a manga? Aslong as its a persective shot and it is good right?

Yes - comics and manga are fine. If that is your direction with your art, be sure to balance it out with old influences as well. It can inspire you to new comics and manga ideas.

Hi there! I am not the best artist in the world, but I've done a lot of gesture drawing work, and it seems to me that you're putting a lot of effort into getting accurate forms of the body and your gestures are suffering a little bit because of it. I would suggest doing some VERY quick timed gesture drawings, around 15 seconds, to force yourself to really focus in on the FEELING of movement in the pose. When you only have time to do a stick figure, all you are able to do is focus on the feeling! Once you start to exaggerate what you see and forego 'accuracy', you'll really be on the way to getting some great gestures done. I also recommend reading 'FORCE' by Mike Mattesi, if you can get your hands on it. His (and his students') gesture drawings are amazing, and he does a wonderful job of explaining the thought process behind them.

Same... these look like contours first then gesture lines second. Good work though. Keep it up.

Most of these are new. maybe a day old.

Hey there. Sorry to hear you’re facing such struggles. Honestly I think the learning curve with art is horribly long. The people you see that are improving and learning faster than you most likely were already drawing a LOT more before even starting a course. Not to say you shouldn’t take a course, but that the people you see doing so well probably developed hand eye coordination, line quality, and observation skills on their own a bit. This is my own personal experience, but sometimes as course or path just isn’t right at the moment. I’ve gotten in a rut trying to follow the process of an artist and eventually realizing it wasn’t for me. Either it didn’t make sense or their teaching didn’t click with me. Maybe check out some other instructional videos and see if they make more sense to you. I feel like master copies could potentially be beneficial for you. When I was little I would copy cartoon panels and it really helped my observation skills. Finding simple but good head drawings to copy might help things to click. Changing it up might help too. Are there other things you like to draw? Drawing flowers from life doesn’t directly help my art skills but I really enjoy it so I do it when I feel like it. For me, drawing the same thing day after day would be upsetting. Everyone is different but that could be what contributed to you feeling down. I’m working on figure drawing right now, but I still draw whatever random things I enjoy.
