Hello, I'm a noobie at drawing, I haven't really done it since middle school

I'm not good at drawing anything, and I want to start but I'm not sure where to start or what to learn, or what practices to do

Do you guys have any resources?

I'd prefer to draw things like landscapes or positions of the body without the details of the face, if that's okay

Well, I'd say use Betty Edward's Drawing on the right side of the brain as a great place to start.

For simple relaxing enjoyment, I'd recommend watching Uncle Bob Ross on YT. Good ASMR, and about the comfy-est artist ever.

>missing the spine indent (considering the calf indent is much smaller but you still drew it)
was going to add this when i started shading since it's only really visible under lighting
>missing hip bone on your left hand side
gud point
>missing rib structure at like the left bra strap And too big of a rib flare on the right

girl tomatos dont need to be visible all the time tho lol the way my mind pictures it she has chameleon eyes for boobs. 

Yeah well the spine is gonna help you find the middle and others to identify it too so if u just forgot it no matter but yeah

another thing...

the neck or the face.
if both sides of the face are fully visible, her neck has got to be over 90 degrees.

if not only one side of her face should be visible and if the other should be too its should be very barely

Does anyone have some quality resources for making 3D stuff? Also, general 3D art, I guess.

My advice would be to install flatpak, and flatpak's version of blender or swap your packages to the unstable branch if you're on a debian-based distro.

Debian is so iron-hard-stability-focused that it's packages are often years out of date.

turns out i'm retarded, i installed HIP from my package manager and it just works (was looking for ROCm packages instead of HIP, which is what blender uses for acceleration) even though it's one version below what Blender says it requires.

Yea that really sucks.
Still going with amd in my future new build though. Nvidia is overpriced.

>Nvidia is overpriced.
In what world? I got an "equivalent" Nvidia card to replace my AMD card and it runs better, cooler, and quieter (and isn't as big and heavy) for only about $30 more than the current going price of AMD, all at the cost of having a slightly less streamlined and more hands-on initial setup experience in Linux.

I honestly have not used my GPU for any new games. It's a 5700 XT (roughly equivalent to a 2070) and I only use it for my three monitors, gamedevving (in 2D), and maybe running Blender once a year. Otherwise it's all for old games that run without issue.
I also think raytracing is a buzzword and not worth buying a behemoth of a card for.

how to draw upside down??? i literally simply flipped it but it dont look exactly what i usually do the other way

[Hide] (32.1KB, 306x333) Reverse
it looks ok but not what i imagined when its flipped...possibly also cuz i used to have a single picture i use as reference for being v good...and its now gone and i cant seem to, reproduce it strictly from, faint memory

Be more specific, are you drawing from a reference that's flipped upside down? Are you trying to draw a figure laying flat and viewed from an upside-down angle?
Try to draw this image as it is: upside down. Recreate the drawing as best you can, without flipping your paper/canvas right-side up until you're finished with the drawing. This will help you see individual parts in more detail.
I'd also recommend going through this book in general for a great starter on how to draw.

exactly. except i did it from memory too. without reference. it worked easier not flipped. also everything i learned just do not, flip right away. like, almost, but incomplete.

Try doing it from a reference and see how it turns out.

Congratz Anon! Cherish it. It's a good tablet, and it's what I first cut my teeth on. Cheers.  :D
>>1752
I also bought my second tablet, first one was a Huion Giano that was big and felt nice but died within a year (if you scroll back up in the thread you can see me complaining about it). Bought a small Wacom and am waiting for it now.
Is there a good guide for transitioning from drawing on pencil and paper to drawing with a tablet, specifically for Krita?
Replies: >>1791
>>1790
There's nothing to learn about tablets, you just need to use it for some time to get used to it.

Learning Krita or another program is an entirely separate topic from tablets. For drawing the most important thing to learn is shortcuts for moving/zooming the canvas and changing brush size. I tend to disable the tablet buttons and use keyboard shortcuts, my most important shortcuts are (some of them are probably not defaults):
- X = toggle eraser mode on/off
- Alt = color picker
- Shift + left click drag = change brush size
- Space + left click drag = move canvas
- Ctrl + middle click drag = zoom canvas in/out
- Shift + middle click drag = rotate canvas
- 0 = reset zoom
- 9 = reset rotation
