So to start off, should I continue connecting the lines for this picture I drew of a centaur? I used pretty much a pen and 2 sheets of paper so far(you could probably tell with the line in the middle). I'm currently dissatisfied with how the arm turned out and the shoulder placement >3>... plus the horse legs.

saw some people talking about looking up horse videos for references.. i find drawing from life is the best way, youre eyes see it differently in person.. my gf rides and i can say from experience and living in three different cities that horse barns exist EVERYWHERE in and out of the city. google up some local ones and just show up or call ahead, im sure they wont mind you hanging around the barn and drawing horses.

I know everyone is having hard time in school, unless you already finished it lolol , but do you think school disruptive your daily activities such as drawing, painting, and doing things you like? It doesn't have to be just like that. I'm 15, it's one of the best years in life. I should be crazy, i should enjoy them, but it just goes and it's wasted maybe because i don't have time for anything. Do you have similar problems? If you have, i would like to hear them and realize i'm not the only one. So?

everything is what you make of it. you can take a sketchbook anywhere and its not loud, my favorite thing about the hobby is how portable and cheap it is. you are entering some of the best years of your life, but they really do keep on getting better. i am 27 and i can say life is pretty awesome, but you only get one so make the best of it. as for school, its important in the sense that it will help you gain skills that will land you a job that will fund how awesome you make your life. got to find that happy medium between making a living and actually living.

also, this is something my art teacher taught me. seems harsh, seems obvious, but damn its true

"if it doesn't look exactly like you what you're looking at, then you got lazy somewhere."

basically saying consistency is the key. you cant half ass a part of it and go all out on another, you have to be equally badass through out the entire page.

I'm Leon and I decided to start uploading my art in NG since I got bored of the "other" art site.
What do you think of it?
Any suggestions or anything? I really want to get better at this.

hate to be that guy, but the japanese anime style has been done over and over and burnt to the ground. im not saying dont do it, but its not going to help you get better. i got better at all style by learning the basics, drawing from life. drawing whats in front of me rather than from a picture. and you can take what you learn from life and apply it to the stuff that comes from your imagination. all i am saying is give it a shot.

that and draw every day, even when you dont want to. the progress is slow, but it happens and you wont even notice it till you look back at your old stuff.

keep it up!!!

also, i learned a ton from watching videos on youtube by Bobby Chiu, dude is an amazing digital/traditional artist.

this is my first time trying to put some colors on a drawing

i'd love to get some feedback . thanks :)

e: as you can see i'm struggling with my outlines. any tipps ?

i make a layer for my rough sketch, and then make a layer on top of that one and take my time making a really nice line art version, then delete or hide the rough sketch behind it. then i make a layer under the line art layer and add my colors. youll have to change the line art layer to type: Multiply, so that everything white is see-through and your colors will show up under it.

So I'm trying to learn how to draw outlines for characters/sketches and have been working on front view for a few days now. Any advice on how to clean up my outlines would be greatly appreciated.

what made me better at drawing is sketching none stop, not getting attached to any of it, and i just keep moving on to the nect thing. what you're doing is studies and those are quick, fast sketches. fill up the page with them. what you'll gain by this is what i like to call "line confidence". rather than over thinking every line, you just draw it in one or two strokes max. after a while youll be pumping out sketches, than you can worry about how you ink it.

tomorrow morning I will close this contest and start a new one. You still have time to submit so get drawing people!!!

Contest is coming to an end, time to start finishing up and submit your pieces

looking good! I will be sure to post my creature soon.

Here is how it works:

I will post a quote from a Lovecraft book in which he describes a monster in one of his stories and everyone will draw what they think the creature looks like. A week from today we will all vote on everyone's entries and the winner will be chosen.

Rules: IT MUST BE NEW AND YOUR OWN DESIGN

Prize: glory amongst the art community here

1st Description: "It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train-a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."
-- H.P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness

sweet trailer. excited about it, cant wait to play the hell out of it.
