i have absolutely 0 fucking idea what im doing :lain_sad: i still can't draw even heads :lain_sad:
@Yakotarun the important thing is that you are doing it
even if you slip, remember not to fall :konata_happy:
@Nanakoko how you guys draw the head? :akko_sus: like the head and face is literally my biggest problem :lain_sad:
@Yakotarun in a shellnut i do something like this
i make a circle to begin with, then a line going down to have an idea on which direction the face is facing, and then i just shape the cheeks and stuff
i hope that made sense lmao
@Nanakoko yes it does, i think i just have no idea how to draw the cheeks for some reason :senko_shock: it always turns out wierd :akko_sus:
@Yakotarun its just practice i guess, i honestly have no idea how to explain these uh anime styled cheeks, or jaw in general lol
id say just exaggerate depending on what you want to make, like if u want something uhhhh i dunno, cute then make it round and soft and stuff
@Nanakoko maybe, just maybe this will turn out to be... something.... :akko_sus: the left picture is for the pose reference and above references of Konata, because i want to draw her in that position :akko_sus:

2-3 hours... just for trying to guess the basic pose... :nacho_dead:
@Nanakoko i probably should tune down the thickness on her thighs tho :anime_think: konata is not THAT thick :akko_sus:
@Nanakoko also i need to change the hands position a little and the sign to a peace sign so that it's more unique than copying the reference one :akko_sus:

@Yakotarun @Nanakoko I think it's fine to copy other work when you are just starting, as long as you give credit and you aren't trying to pass it off as your own piece and selling it.

@beardalaxy @Yakotarun theres a difference between copying and studying a drawing imo
when copying you're basically just tracing the work hoping to gain something by drawing what you're seeing
when studying, you're always thinking things like "how did the artist make this?", and attempt to do the same thing, not by copying what you're seeing, but by looking at it and then replicating it using what you have noticed
i hope that made sense lol
