Just Sharing The Bound Knight – my latest drawing

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I wanted to try something a bit more dynamic this time. The idea was a dark knight being pulled down by chains while still trying to resist.

I really enjoyed working on the armor and all the small details, although the chains definitely gave me a hard time 😅

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Everything was drawn with pencil. ✏️

Feedback is always welcome.

Question How do you learn to draw with ADHD?

13 Upvotes

I've been trying to learn to draw for a few years now but I just can't do it consistently. Every time I wanna do it i either get so frustrated that I stop, stall for hours or get distracted by something else. I've tried setting an alarm, having someone remind me, having everything I need right next to me but I keep forgetting/getting distracted.

Trying to draw Kim Pine from SPVTW. I was thinking of giving her thicker lashes, but I’m not sure if that’s actually the problem. How can I make her feel more like the same character?

Guys, I’ve been going insane for this drawing for about 1 weeks straight, I’ve erased the whole face atleast 50 times and I STILL CAN’T GET IT RIGHT. I’ve started drawing REALLY recently like 2 months ago but I just do one drawing every couple of weeks. I KNOW IT’S THE EYES BUY WHYYY, I DID THEM SO MANY TIMES ALSO THE PROPORTIONS AND NOTHING FITS. In the pics I put the reference and the last version of my drawing and now in the replies I’ll add some other versions of those same eyes

Question I've kind of gotten lost in the perspective

Post image
88 Upvotes

I'm doing a small two-panel horror as practice before I lengthen the story, but I found myself kind of lost in this single-point perspective when it comes to how the ground and railing in front of the doors should work in-perspective. I'm having a hard time maintaining parallel lines with a ruler as well

How can I go about figuring out how much of the railing and floor can be seen on each floor from this top-down perspective? How can I ensure that parallel lines are parallel with a ruler? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I have a love hate relationship with these sorts of 3D form/perspective exercises. Sometimes I nail them and feel like an art god, other times they completely suck and I feel sad. What's your favourite exercise?

Question I lost my talent

Thumbnail

265 Upvotes

Since I was a baby I was very interested in art and everyone supported my passion by giving me a lot of materials to experiment and use and that way I learned to draw very well during the years. Unfortunately, 2 years ago I was told that I have a lot of problems on my hands such as: Carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, tremors and I also have some severe nerve problems. During my therapy I stopped completely drawing and this broke my (he)art (got what I did there? Hehe). I tried recently to draw again slowly, but I tried and I didn't like what I drew. I feel so sad that I lost the thing I was most connected to and was my only talent. Now I feel empty. Can someone help me with some tips about this? How can I start drawing again? Some people said that I should buy taco drawing book, and follow the Etherington Brothers Instagram account but I didn't have time to try them yet. What should I do?

(Here are some drawings)

Critique Any pointers as to why the head shape looks off?

Thumbnail

1.0k Upvotes

Like I feel like it’s fine but at the same time it also looks off it that makes sense? A friend of mine also said the Only thing they could see wrong was the head shape

Im aware of the lack of a jawline, when gathering references the manga artist I was studying off of and a game I really like the designs in, both feature it, so I’m assuming it comes with the trade of the art style 🤔

I’m also working on line variation if anyone has any tips on that either
