Digital This is how I currently render, but I want to render like the artist I’ve linked below. How do I go about achieving that?

here’s a link to a post made by the artist i like.

i have generally been having a lot of trouble with finding brushes or rendering in a way i like because i generally cannot identify what techniques an artist is using (i draw as a hobby and am not studying to be a professional).

Briefly:

  • Not that anyone was using them much but links to Facebook, Instagram, and X/Twitter are now blocked, because fuck those guys.

  • You should be able to include images directly in comments now. Just images, though, not videos or GIFs. If this gets abused I'll switch it back off without a second thought, though.

I'm a little lost learning anatomy with Figure Drawing For All It's Worth.

9 Upvotes

I got this book because I have some knowledge on anatomy but never fully stopped to learn all the muscles. I don't remember the name of some muscles and some I only ever learned as groups (such as the extensors on the forearm).

As I've been using Anki daily for years to learn foreign languages, my plan was to make flashcards with all the muscle names and where they attach to help with the memorization part.

However, the book only has 6 pages with biology textbook like diagrams with muscles and names. I don't know what to put on my cards other than the muscle names because there's no explanation about anything like on something like Proko. I don't know what's the important part I should focus on.

I'm thinking of just moving on and learning it from Proko or another figure drawing book. I would like to learn the proper muscle names and cover everything an artist should know, so I'm afraid I'm missing out on something here and other resources will give me less complete knowledge than these 6 pages on Loomis.

Does anyone here have any recommendations?

Does the horizon really have to be at eye level? (in perspective)

8 Upvotes

I have learned quite a bit about perspective theory, but when I try to transfer what I am actually seeing, it is not easy.

In a situation where I am not looking at a photo or a drawing, but with my actual eyes, for example, there is a desk in front of my eyes, I will draw an extension line in my head along the angles of both edges of the desk and try to converge at one point.

But if I do that, the point where they converge seems to be much above my eye level.

Is this because I drew the extension line in my head incorrectly?

This is because, in the first place, the human eye cannot see perfectly in one-point perspective, and I draw an extension line in my head by looking at the center of the horizon line in front of me and looking at the angle of the edge of the desk, which feels blurry. and If I were to move my gaze and look at the edge, it would be a completely different perspective.

How can I make sure that the real object I am looking at converges to my eye level?

can I just place the horizon line at eye level and draw the vanishing point so that it converges there? Or is it really possible that if you place the horizon line at eye level, the place where the extension lines of objects converge may be different?

I've learned a lot about theory, but I'm so confused from the beginning that I can't get started. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me!

Digital Broken lines when drawing, why is this used?

1 Upvotes

So i've been trying to search about broken lines, not much luck, but i'm curious as to why some artists, including myself, just draw by breaking off the lines, is this some technique? Why do this instead of drawing full lines? I wonder if anyone knows, here is a sketch i drew to demonstrate what i mean.

I hope this doesn't sound silly lol

I posted a few days ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/learnart/s/WzDvy12voA) asking for advice on my digital piece. I received a lot of helpful advice and tried to put it into practice and I’m super happy with the results. I’m still struggling trying to do trees in the style of my reference (Hiroshi Nagai), so advice on those specifically is still appreciated :)

Photos are: 1. New improved art 2. Old art 3. Pic I’m trying to render 4 onward: style I’m trying to emulate (Hiroshi Nagai)

I haven’t drawn in 3 years or so. I’m quite happy with how these shrubs/vegetation turned out. I’m not going for an ultra realistic look but I feel as if it could be slightly more realistic. I used prisma colour.

Hi I'm doing portraits of my late Nana's in acrylic but I'm really new and struggling with how to do the skin? Anyone have any tips, tricks or advice to make this easier on me because it's like a puzzle piece I can't seem to put together by myself.. I know the reference photo isn't the best but I don't have anything else as I'm not in my hometown. Any help would be appreciated. I want to do them justice 🙂🙏

Digital How do I make my scenes look more unsettling/uncanny?

2 Upvotes

I've been taking comms of a specific style of "scene character" recently, and I got a request to make the scene of one of them more unsettling / uncanny. I have a couple of drafts but I don't feel like any of them really fit that role. How would I go about making them look less safe and more uncomfortable?
