Ongezellig

>>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

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.
