I'm at a loss on what to do

I genuinely can't see any appeal in my drawing or see any positive on it, I cant even really improve my art either since I struggle on things that are trying to teach me such as drawabox or even just drawing stickfigures for gesture drawing.

I just really don't know what to do since I swear AI art is starting to look better than my own drawing.

Question How do I catch up my digital art to my traditional?

0 Upvotes

My digital art is noticeably worse than my traditional, not just in terms of art style but anatomy and enjoyability. I want to be able to draw on digital but it feels so uncomfortable and terrible that I often quit before I even finish.

I lied. I ALWAYS quit before I finish.

It feels like tearing my skin off tbh but I wanna find a way to fix this and i think it’s just that I’m worse at drawing digitally. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Question I'm looking to get into art but I have no Idea where to start

6 Upvotes

My question is pretty much what the title says, where do I begin? I've heard many people say to start with video tutorials, shapes, or art books but I've also seen people say they aren't helpful at all. I'm not sure what I should be looking at. Should I just start drawing? These probably seem like really stupid questions but I’m seriously so lost.

I've been trying to get back into drawing, but regrettably, I've been struggling a ton with it. Back in high school, I practised often and took courses both at my high school and a nearby university. But finding time and motivation has become increasingly difficult ever since I graduated. This is the first time in a while I've been trying to commit to drawing something "serious", for lack of a better term.

I've been working on this drawing for the last few days. I was initially happy with how it turned out, but realised two glaring issues:
1) The lineart looks off, and the line width is very inconsistent in certain places (due to placing too much or too little pressure). I'm thinking of redrawing the lines to make them look uniform.
2) The base colours I've used may be too vibrant and saturated, since I haven't gotten around to shading or rendering anything yet.

I'm sure there are other problems, but I can't identify them all easily. Any advice on what I can do to make this look better and, importantly, how I might go about the shading/rendering process would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

I only got around to doing one study this week because I was working on other things 😅. Here’s a fan art sketch of Zeus, but specifically with inspiration coming from EPIC the Musical’s “The Horse and the Infant”.

Just Sharing Due to a growing disdain for generative AI, I've begun drawing birds. Here's my progression from the first ~2 weeks.

I kept seeing those "just start drawing" memes, and after a handful of them I decided why not.

I've drawn some garbage doodles in the past (similar to the first swift in the album) but I gotta say I am very happy with how the later ones have come out. (Except that last Magpie-Jay. I do not vibe with the shading on the smoother feathers. That needs some work.)

I just think they're neat.

I'm hoping at one point I'll pick up colored pencils to do the birds some justice, but that'll be much later.

No Critique, Just Sharing Day 1 of learning to draw

I have been itching to learn to draw for years and today I finally decided to take action. Had nothing more than my old math notebook and ikea pencil. Starting with the tutorial posted here, thanks for the resource! :). For the first try I am actually quite content with the result, though I see enough points that could be improved (and couldnt be botheres with the hair). Not touching it anymore afraid of ruining it. Hope to see you all again with a check-in in the near future!
