Ongezellig

How are you tracing these? Are you using a mouse?

too much gooning

>>101686
i have a stylus and everything i'm just bad man

Do your daily reps to get the hand of drawGODs, after that it gets easier

>>101689
Practice, I remember my hands were shaking the first time I took a stylus but also when I took my first game controller. Try not to grip it too hard

We all start somewhere, I'm glad you made the effort to pick up the pen

>>101685
'oon to sprunki for 2 hours then try again

>>101691

>>101692
whys the file deleted

>>101692
Slf deleted the file

>>101697
I think the "try not to grip it too hard" might imply mymy strangulation

>>101698
It was the same 'kaki but with a big orange line in it because I forgot to wipe it

>>101696
Now that I think about it what kind of mineral is this orange crystal? An orange diamond? Or something else?

>>101700
>>101699
Disregard this
>>101701
The closest I can think of is an amber

>>101702
Here's the chart

Drawfags can we stop whining?
>seethed about not being able to draw tranime dutch girls again award

>>101706
We drawfags are the most whiniest faggots on this Earth lol

i tried again

>>101712
its getting more sovlful...

>>101712
Don't say it don't say it don't say it

<Soooo zemmy hahahaha it's so good so OP h-

welcome back yosack

>>101712
quite good as a starting point, looking zemmy
>>101717
gem quote

last one for today. i actually feel a lot better about drawing and honestly i'm starting to enjoy some of it
>>101717
i had no clue that was yosacks art i just have a gif of the speeddraw which helped me geg

>>101726
It's no problem, only DFDs seethe about him without a hint of irony, I look forward to seeing your progress

>>101726
I see potential, if you enjoy it you should totally pursue drawing

>>101726
I remember he made that speeddraw when I called him out for tracing about a year ago. proved NOTHING that nigga still fucking traced like crazy

>>101726
Try practicing simple shapes and lines first to smooth out your lineart.
Do this a lot and you'll get used to the motion.

>>101765
I was there and I called him out for tracing
>Evendoe 'jakking is based on tracing and that's le good

>>101772
thanks i'll keep practicing and i appreciate it but is this meant to reduce my parkinsons so i can draw straighter?

>>101685
Keep going brother, you'll be a great zartist one day

>>101781
Yes chud by constantly repeating basic patterns like crazy you'll train your hand, wrist, fingers and more muscles needed for drawfagging, before you draw your very own vera domm gemmies you have to first "study the pencil"

>>101797
BUT I WANT VERADOM GEMMIES NOW!!!

>>101799
It took me 10 years to even understand such basic premise, and I still have room to improve, I'm sure with some months of practice you'll do better than what xittertroons ever dream of achieving

>>101797
>hand, wrist, fingers
your hand is your wrist and fingers by definition retardGOD

>>101810
dude probably meant palm

back for a little more advice
do i like completely lift my arm to draw or should i rest it against my screen

>>101861
For more precise movements you want to use your wrist, for more general movements you want your arm. But try not to draw with your arm resting down all the time, it WILL start to hurt

actually really proud of this one i cant thank you enough mr soyagi

>>101867
It's a great start, but what is she suck-ACK! what does she have in her mouth

>>101867
gem verald sisa

>>101868
lolypop cigarette thingy she always smokes

Vera if she was at least keyed

wasn't able to completely finish my work today but i'm also really proud of this
just let me know what to improve mr soyagi

>>102091
Why do people always do that internal skeleton, I never felt like I had to

>>102092
i struggled on making the body the right perspective for like 30 minutes

>>102091
what does soyagi mean

>>102096
mr miyagi but soyified because whoever xhe is is like a teacher to me

>>102098
you're getting along just fine with your drawings have patience and determination and you will be grateful you decided to embark on this.
I look forward to seeing you develop.

>>102092
because that's the usual way to do things, not everyone is that seasoned as to skip everything and go directly to the last steps like some sort of drawGOD

>>102104
DrawGODS don't even season their sketches

>>101685
Self-improvement is aryan. Stickied for the week!

journey has been stickied for a week millions must churn out more art
also looking for some advice on how to color and texture effectively

>>102195
For a start you could try plain colors and then adding shadows by layering a 50% opacity layer with the multiply feature (or however it's called on the software you're using). It won't look incredible but it's something

yeah this looks like shit someone give me an art request. preferably with a reference image, thanks

>>102205
Do I have some art requests for you
There's an old illustration idea chart and one of them is Roos and Stan skating on the ice, it should be simple enough to draw especially with the reference

>>102207
yeah i've been attempting this for like 6 hours on and off and i have no progress to show so i'll come back to it later and find something else to draw before i approach this extreme challenge of a drawing

>>102289
Don't show anything to us, just try try try and again try and make as many arts for practice as you can and the progress will be seen

>>102291
Or else you'll look like
>Showed an unfinished drawing again award

Late to this, but the trick is to sketch sketch sketch. The confident, long lines will come eventually. Instead of trying to draw long lines, try making similar shapes but with short strokes. Try not to drag your stylus across the canvas without releasing it for longer than a second. It's gonna look like shit, but it will teach you familiarity with the pencil. Eventually you will also learn to master the confident, longer strokes. Another tip would be to keep tracing and tracing and tracing over your own layers until it looks good. Keep practicing, you'll get there.

i'm not really into it right now. i took a 3 day break because i got so burnt out from trying to do the stan x roos ice skating thing that i just haven't felt like doing anymore art. i did actually at one point enjoy making this until i realized it looked like shit and since i have no motivation i didn't redo it. i hope i can will myself to practice more but god art slumps are terrible and i know that the worse is still to come

>>102770
>burnt out
kys massa

>>102770
It's okay to take a break sometimes Zaryan. It looks good. Don't become the next Massa before your artistic journey has even begun.

>>102770
it will be gem please finish it zaryan

ok i've gotten over this slump and i finally feel like sketching again
>>102846
i plan to redo it and finish it by tomorrow o algo

tried out some new coloring techniques. they may take 6x longer but i honestly really like it.

>>103126
holy gem

>>103126
you won the party for today, holy gem improvement. That coloring looks so nice.

>>103126
Holy improvement, I said you would become better

>>103127
>>103128
Had the same idea for the post award

by the way, you should still focus on form and composition because even if the coloring is great, that doesn't mask poor form.

>>103132
no need to complicate shit especially when you're just starting out. just draw and focus on the fundamentals

is it just me or is the drawing not showing up

>>103166
it's just you, the drawing is right there

>>103167
ok it just came back for me. didn't know they added a schizoid update

>>101685
Genetics

Made some soulless traced slop for the Stan and Roos ice skating idea because I was bored or whatever

>>103322
super zemerald

>>103322
it looks cute, tracing doesn't have to be le bad, in fact it can be beneficial to get your arm and hand used to the motions of drawing, but the idea is to graduate from tracing other images to tracing them from your mind onto the canvas.

>>103322
I wish we had more Roos art. She just like me fr fr (except happy and gezellig)

>>103322
This is really good keep it up

>>103330
i remember the captions of when coco was asking maya if they can both work on the presentation and the dutch captions were something like
>words words words gezelligly
what does gezellig even mean
>>103322
good work. i'll see if that helps me when i get to drawing roos and stan

>>103332
It’s a Dutch word that doesn’t translate easily, think sociable/cozy/friendly. It’s the opposite of ongezellig, which is what maya is

>>103334
ok that makes sense honestly. i can't get over people who call ongezellig unsocialable even when there isn't a direct translation to english

>>103337
The concept of "being ongezellig" is mostly about being the only one not going along or not being as engaged as the rest within the context of social plans or situations. When someone suggests "let's go do x thing" and one person goes "I don't think I'll go" they will be told "oh come on, don't be so ongezellig". "The whole family will be there, don't be ongezellig and join us". Being on your phone in company is also "ongezellig". So is not saying much or don't looking dramatically happy while the rest is chatting/doing whatever the occasion is. Being gezellig, so the opposite of ongezellig, means being present, actively involved, part of the group and overall sociable. So sociable works as a translation, but the Dutch culture of "not allowing people to do their own thing or being introverted within a group" is kind of an extra layer to that expression. That's why Maya is ongezellig for not joining Coco and Mymy with their board game, for sitting alone during breaks while the rest is in groups, for running when Coco wants to "gezellig"-ly do something together etc.

Thank you for the encouragement, I just got a stylus so more to come hopefully

i need help with understanding this.
i always wondered this but when i look at the hairline it seems like their foreheads are extremely long. is this just for making their hair fit on their face better or is it some art style thing because i gotta know if i need to add this when drawing

>>103391
Brvtal...

>>103391
It's not just only forehead. It's also thickness and volume of the hair. And if you'll screenshot Coco with opened eyes her forehed won't look THAT big since her eyes are pretty high. Though, her face is intentionally higher and proportionally narrow to express her nodric germanic phenotype. This contrasts with Maya's wider face and Mymy's even wider one (asians have wider faces). So bear in mind their ethnic background while drawing their heads.

>>103391
Coco is secretly Yakub...

>>103409
the words youre looking for are dolichocephalic and brachycephalic btw

>>103471
It's called leptoprosopia and euryprosopia, mijn geliefde gegbvll xD

You can have a wide (in absolute meanings) face but still be dolichocephalic (like balts)

>>103475
It's called phrenology nigga, which is a real science btw

>>103501
It's differentshit evendoe

>>>103471
>It's called leptoprosopia and euryprosopia, mijn geliefde gegbvll xD

>>103409
they still have giant foreheads

>>103527
They have perfectly fine heads, they just have lots of big fluffy hair.
