Twinkle twinkle little star, why is art so fucking hard
hangemhigh13
Sorry, but this is useless. You require years of drawing just to start understanding those.

If you erase the more detailed features you get a circle... Thingy

Why draw hands when you can just put them in pockets?
wheresthetone
basically, draw better
Filolial
This really helped me! I made a great drawing
GLRulez
Why would you do that!
VanDerGroot
This post is helpful only to a very narrow slice of artists: Those who know quite a bit, but just haven't had a few weeks to progress more.

Drawing is easy if you know how to draw

Draw the fucking owl

Draw the *rest* of the fucking owl

Instructions unclear. Still only draw penises. Not well, either.
TheDottedBottomLine
Hahaha nope.

As someone in their tattoo apprenticeship who has been made to draw 70 different hands this week. Thank you.

I always hate these posts because they downplay the amount of work it takes to draw well.

I didn't learn a damn thing.

Jokes on them, my head isn't proportional

Are you Brazilian?
jcarn
Nah just a bit odd

All of this is lies. To draw like a pro you need to draw like a fucking amateur for 4-5 hours every day, every day
ilikeblondehair
Did I mention you have to do it every day

Inktober is coming up - gonna use these as guides!
MyBirthdayIsFreedom
God, no matter what I study my hands look like mutant hands. Whyyyyy is it so hard to draw hands.
Azasloth
It helps to reduce everything to its simplest form. Find the major planes of any surface and you're 3/4s of the way there.
Hornchief
It's all about finding the shapes in the hand and understanding basic anatomy, hands though are so complex that a lot of artist hide them
Krystal
Keep going, you'll get there one day
Azasloth
Also. Hands are insanely dynamic and challenging to draw, even for pros.
Hornchief
FUCK HANDS AND FUCK FEET TOO!

No that's a hairy finger. Do you see a penis in every picture?

After 8 easy slides, I draw like a Pro!

TL;DR: you suck at drawing, and you won't get better reading this.
GothKirby
Honestly, as an artist, I found the only thing that helped me improve was practise. No amount of others 'teaching' me did much.

You get better by practicing, and this will help you practice.
Ferne
really the way to learn to draw is to look at and observe things instead of trying to make them up in your mind
iggyface
You aren't just born amazing at art...
Kittiliane
Actually, I find these to be extremely useful! Practice is key, of course, but it's always good to have something to refer back to.
Feralkyn
Yeah, DA tuts like this have helped me so much. My eyes went from shit to far less shit! I love 'em.
Belinir
Everybody seems to think, that reading alone does will do. Don't forget the thousands of hours you'll eventually have to put in to be a pro.
freakinspiderm0nkeys
Definitely. Learn the theory and then practice it until you master it and when you master it, bend the rules!
Madhornet
No offense but for those learning how to draw, this is essentially introducing them to driving a car and then throwing them in formula 1
AlabasterScarf
Excited for Singapore?
gunterleeds
Well, to be fair, where exactly does OP claim this is a guide for beginners?
ToxicPsychotic
In some of these images, there are "bad" drawings marked with an X, but they don't tell you what's wrong with them or how to improve.
Hornchief
They aren't bad, they are actually perfect. Clothing is suppose to be summarized and choppy to make the important things pop like the face.
ToxicPsychotic
If the goal is tutorialization, they've done an awful job. nothing is explained, they just show you good and tell you to replicate it.
Hornchief
The problem is that in order to properly draw the rest of the body you need to understand basic anatomy but they don't explain it
MegaDeuce
Forget all of this. Two rules: get the proportions right, draw as closely as possible to what you *see*.
Meloncov
Replicating what you see is a good place to start, but if you don't understand the 3d forms, you'll never make anything original.
FourOrangeCircles
A coworker explained it to me this way and I totally got what he said, but when I tried it, I felt like a toddler performing brain surgery.
MegaDeuce
If you see a painter closing one eye and holding up his brush, he's observing the proportions.
Hornchief
Well to explain better when your walking back and squinting at your work your looking at where the darks and lights are in your work
Hornchief
And holding up your brush/pen while locking your arm is used to get the angle of an object (more specifically in buildings) correct
Zinc771
This will most definitely help me add the additional detail I required for my stick figures....
lungbudda
You'll never get both eyes the same!
Littleman88
Ever, without program assistance. But then that's like cheating (where as using the circle tool, layers, lens flare, etc is not.)
AdultArtMarmar
carefull stick figures are a gateway drug, and before you know what happens you are full on doing illustrations and graphic design.
ModernArtWasaCIAweapon
dis true I started abusing stickfigures and now im a full blown painter addict and now I have no money or food and my family worry about me
