I mean I can tell I messed up on the head and the shading A LOT, but there's something else WAYY wrong with it.
Feel free to point out any mistakes
I wanted to make a freaky deaky silver surfer but now I don’t really know what to do with the rest of the drawing and leaving it like this irks me
I started to learn to draw recently, and I have mostly been copying (not tracing) other drawings to practice, and tried making my own from using references.
I know that I need to learn the fundamentals, and when I look online people just say to watch youtube videos, but I feel like I need more guidance and structure than just looking up videos at random. Theres probably a general order I should learn them, but I'm also unsure of that aswell.
I understand what to learn, I just don't know how to practice and when I should start diving into each of the fundamentals.
If you guys have any tips or advice please share🙏
How do I do the face? Help?
i looked at a bunch of refrences and tutorials and tried my hand at a side profile but something about its composition feels off. any help?
I am decent at drawing but I want to master life drawing. I have taken many art classes over the years and I feel like I am taking art classes with people who are less proficient at drawing than I am. I have bought life drawing books and I have watched Youtube Channels like Proko. They are helpful and I feel like I am improving but gradually. My issue is I am too chaotic and disorganized. I think having a teacher boss me around will help me improve faster. I need structure. Does anyone know of any advanced online life drawing classes with 1 on 1 tutoring?
i did the forbidden act of making two posts back to back but how does one start with drawing a style like this?
like techniques, order of doing things and why, etc ^_^
