Thin lines are thin. Got it.

trying to color simple laconic forms
sensing minor overall improvement, yay

first digital 'still life' painting (kind of) that i think looks good
any critique would be pertinent

Spoiler: show

nothing exceptional but still was comprehending for a try

Spoiler: show

back on track

here's some copy of a copy,

referenceless abomination,

and an old animation +blurred

Spoiler: show

also, found interesting hint in ps - applique filter can help 'take apart' image to simpler color smudges and it's easier to see key areas of painting, or photo as this reference

Spoiler: show

more levels - more detail
less - less

never thought of this before

better example

my small contribution to this inktober thing if i understand it's concept right (except it should be done everyday)

You're good at hands.

You're good at hands.

Thanks. Still suck big at everything else.

made tiny progress with this piece but yet.. urgh
something's slipping away
i see the works made of lines only not shaded which looks more volumetric and vibrant than

Spoiler: show

don't have patience to even shade properly, egh

having fun brainstorm spurting

trying to understand values transitions

having absolutely no idea what to draw
maybe the problem is in that i like to draw much stuff, dissipating much likewise, and seeing it as an obstacle to improve in specific areas like composition, anatomy, coloring, rendering, etc.
creative mojo depleted, roughly speaking
any advice?

Spoiler: show

pushing through despite that, ho

didn't got much to show, just upping a thread for now

Im in the same boat, but now I found out I like drawing girls. I browse through pinterest and find some pictures to study/replicate.
Try venturing out into different types of art (eg design, landscape painting, character design)
Heck, world building can keep you busy if you're interested in it.

for that purpose i browse this forum at most, watching not only references, but works of other artists it has something special to it, raw works, not polished, seeing creating process and stuff (even getting a feedback)

i scroll pin sometimes too, saving every picture i like, trying to organize studying material through folders, but distracting and don't really draw as a result

it seems i've got short attention span, in my everyday life also, and it is difficult when it comes to settle down and just develop some skills gradually and systematically
i like drawing as a process in the first place, because it helps to refine patience (which I so lack) as well, organize thoughts

in short words - improvise. adapt. overcome.
hallelujah to this wall of text
and thanks for the attention

oh and, what with the world building, is it kind of metaphor? i didn't get it

Basically building worlds ( or your own world)
I guess some people call it daydreaming

https://www.google.com/amp/s/writersedit.com/fiction-writing/the-ultimate-guide-to-world-building-how-to-write-fantasy-sci-fi-and-real-life-worlds/amp/

like Star Wars universe, DC universe and others?
that'a a ton of work and related to drawing specifically quite indirectly

i struggle with of how to get the patience to constantly actually draw much (practive makes perfect), does not tire of it and advance, and combine all this with everyday's responsibilities also

thanks anyway

Spoiler: show

woah you got some cool stuff, keep up the good work

Not so cool, but thanks anyway.

NAH MAN you've got some cool stuff. Pick up your chin and keep drawing because you have bright future ahead of you.
I like what you are doing and I generally appreciate you as a person. KEEP GOING

Now that's unexpected and touchingly. Can't say that i allow myself to lower my chin, just short-term self-reflection.

some scribbles with references

I like the hand in particular. nice job!

The funny part is, that hand was drawn in seconds, compared to other stuff.
I mean, it is represented only to explain ballerina's hand position
