'Project 3A keys to drawing,
This is my first time ever drawing a figure as I love to draw still objects as I feel like drawing humans isn't my thing, but I decided to get out of my comfort zone and this went well imo, I expected worse but I really enjoyed this.

I was wondering if you guys can give me a critique of what you can see I did wrong.';

it’s not an amazing drawing but i’m getting back into art and i’m proud of sitting down and doing something';

'>>7155866
To be fair, the head pose in the ref is quite tricky. You're doing nothing wrong, on the contrary, you are DOING IT, wich is the only way to DO anything at all.
Start with a grid. Any kinda grid will be good as a start. You need a frame to get the shape and proportions right. That's all. Then you'll have to keep at it, grinding non-stop till things start to click on your head.';

I deleted because I noticed that there's a general for beginners but a guy told me to suck it up and said some stuff I don't understand.
I'll check out that Keys to Drawing, I'm currently following "The Art and Science of Drawing - Brent Eviston".
>smooth sketching for a rough and rigid subject with sharp angles.
I don't really know, I think I did both. I started making a bunch of rectangles in order to figure out where to place stuff (helped but as you can see, not much...) and only by the end I started darkening my lines using a smoother movement. During my first draft I tried using straight lines instead of rectangles but I got lost really quick.
I think I should be using lines and treating them as the "middle" of the future trunk but spacing them out gets really hard.';

Oh so I have to do these proportional drawings? It's a lesson from KTD and I was ready to move on, but if you reccomend it then I'll do it.

'>>7161033
>understood how and what the hell exactly you do with it
I don't know how others use it but like i said i only use it to smooth things out.
I took sections from this woth the lasso tool and put it over my existing drawing then lowered opacity to get a more uniform skin texture.
I could've done something similar with just brushes but this saves up time.
It's just a tool, don't think too much about it. Either use it or don't.';

'>>7160255
You got it wrong but the reply still holds value. I never had self worth and the worth of my drawing faded away with time. By trying to claw out some "success" out of the only thing I loved so I could shove it in the face of the world i lost all meaning. So I guess I should just start working on myself a bit.
I just wanted to win once man. I wanted to show everyone and myself that it wasn't all for nothing. I should had known better';

'>>7162628
you can still do that, you can still get that "win" against life. you just have the wrong mindset.
you woke up one day with a jolt motivation and it made you productive, but then it ran out and you were dissapointed it didn't result in immediate success.
You're thinking that what you need to success is motivation + talent, when what you really need is discipline + committment.
the strenght to do it even in days when you don't feel like doing it, and the mental fortitude to recognize you'll fail many times before you succeed and still soldier on anyway.

Imo the hand looks weird because the fingernail is misplaced (one of those cases where you're probably better off not being 100% accurate in copying what you see) and the features and lines are kind of exaggerated, making it look like doesn't belong to the woman
I think you should try redrawing it on a layer on top with cleaner lines and softening the bone structure';

i think this is pretty self explainatory, the style i chose may not be what you were going for but its about being intentional with your design decisions and sticking to a style purposefully rather than doing guesswork, you got a good design overall anyways so this are just tweaks and things to keep in mind, hope it helps.';
