🧵 Lenny's Art Progress #1
Anonymous at Tue, 27 Dec 2022 13:51:07 UTC No. 730207
Sup. I'm gonna use this thread to try and improve my art, and if anyone feels like contributing then critique and guidance would be much improved. Please bear in mind that I have the brain capacity of a bowl of spaghetti so detailed instructions might go over my head.
>what do you use to doodle?
Paint, Paint 3D, tegaki (ugh) and traditional pens and pencils. Yeah I know, not a great selection.
>what do you like to draw?
Monsters, Lennys (go figure), critters, emotions, etc
>what do you struggle with and want to improve?
Hands (but who doesn't?), women, hats, shading, colours, etc
>who are your influences/inspirations?
Dav Pilkey, splapp-me-do, my buddy Blocky, Jonathan Wojcik, Doc Glasgow, and everyone on /i/ of course <3
Prompts are encouraged - I probably won't draw your OC so I don't end up hurting your feelings by doing a bad job but I think most other things are on the table. Make sure to tell me whether I should do it in a certain program (see above)!

If you want to improve hands, well, draw your hands. I think practicing on pencil will be easier first.

Alrighty, sorry for the delay. The left hand wasn't an issue but the right one I made some mistakes with as you may be able to see
Here we have Handré the Giant vs the Evil Hamburger Helper (five digits, fingernails, permafrown, hinders hamburgers instead of helping them). Handré is one of my original characters, who was made animate after Jack slew the Giant and his Bracelet of New Life activated. Sadly for the Giant, he died from a fatal cut to the wrist, and the wrong part got reborn. He's got a couple of large rings of strength that he keeps on his thumb (and on his ring finger too I guess cos I couldn't fit them both on this time) and some wickedly sharp nails to tear through his foes!

Above - a Lenny and a Carl from memory
Below - a Lenny and a Carl from a reference pic
I think what I've learned is I need to draw Carl more often. Lenny is perfect the way I draw him :triumph:

There was none actually! I hosted a 'body part' gimmick Hunger Game on /trash/ - the difference from a normal game was that the participants had to crop out parts of their usual characters and use them as their entry, and I'd draw the top six as one big monstrosity lol
I don't think this gimmick could work on /i/ but I could be willing to be proved wrong. Here's another one I did from a while ago

One thing I have been having trouble with is getting the ability to draw something just for fun's sake. In my diary and in this thread too I tend to only draw stuff that I'll be proud of, which is why I don't update either frequently
Anyone got any advice for breaking through this?

What is it you want to draw? Is there a particular artist or style you are trying to achieve? You seem to like Matt Groening, he has actually published a book where he shows his construction method. It seems very similar to Loomis and other methods of construction. >>746670 Did you really read Fun with a Pencil?

>What is it you want to draw?
See OP post. I don't wanna do the same things over and over again but when I try something new and it doesn't look good it puts me off a bit
>Is there a particular artist or style you are trying to achieve?
Not really. In fact I tend to stay away from 'how to draw' material in most cases, lest I accidentally absorb too much of one person's style and lose my spark of originality
>You seem to like Matt Groening, he has actually published a book where he shows his construction method. It seems very similar to Loomis and other methods of construction.
I still don't know what Loomis is, but I actually do own the Simpsons Handbook and it helped me out when I drew my own Simpsons comics as a child
>Did you really read Fun with a Pencil?
No
