What if I can't even trace a photograph and can't figure out what I should be doing differently? I cannot seem to grasp what exactly I should be attempting to mark with lines, or what I should be trying to achieve with any given individual line. It would be simple if I could somehow extrapolate what a drawing of something might look like just from observing it, but that isn't something that comes naturally to me.

The things I instinctively want to mark with lines are highlights and the parts of the subject's surface that are closest to the viewer/camera, which so far as I can tell is 100% wrong.

>>7153833
It really depends. Generally speaking, you want to capture the main forms, so the outline, where clothes begin or end, main folds in said clothes, facial features, any outstanding details (like writing on a t-shirt). How detailed you get depends on what you are trying to get out of the drawing, and also things like how big your drawing is (clusters of details in smaller drawings just look messy), or what the focus is (if the focus is the face, draw more of those details, and less details elsewhere). Some people also choose to draw lines where shadows begin/end for example. What works or what doesn't is mostly a matter of trial and error. If you are drawing someone's face and draw every single wrinkle, skin mark, eyelash, etc. and it looks messy, next time try doing it simpler, skip the extraneous details and focus on the main bits. I'd suggest going through the book Keys to Drawing (the first half is enough), it's what helped me most to learn both how to copy accurately, as well as what to focus on/keep when drawing from life, and what can be ignored.

I made my biggest progress in art when I started drawing less, and spending more time watching art videos, reading art books and browsing twitter art. Do 20 minutes of intense, focused drawing, then do 40 minutes of theory.

I know how you feel OP I can't like digital drawing no matter how much I try, I have a small drawing tablet so the experience is even worse than it would be normally but I can't bring myself to like the act.
Even a huge Cíntiq looks awkward, I don't like the act of drawing to begin with and digital is even worse.
I tried prompt for a day but the experience is even worse than drawing so maybe I should give up altogether and learn 3D, Pixel Art or even Music instead.

Learn programming or game design. They're cooler than drawing and pay better.

It's the opposite for me. I can play around with digital tools and have fun with them, but drawing traditionally is pure suffering. I hate pens and pencils and always have.

Maybe you're better at traditional? Same thing happens to me because I know I'm going to struggle and be stressed out trying to wrangle the shitty digital pen and my drawing is going to look bad and discourage me.

It is 2024, and AI Art is now mainstream. The normies on Facebook and instagram love it.
Almost nobody gives a fuck about "AI art is theft", and corporations like WotC, Blizzard, Disney, Anime studios and art studios are now using AI art in secret.
I saw a skinny metro california guy "taking a stand against AI art theft" and it was the most cringe shit ever. Even if img2img is theft, the consumers don't give too many shits.
It was a nice run everyone, but the public has sided with AI, it has won.
We fought, we lost.
Now we rest.

How do you deal with this issue?
Let's say you have a 3d mass which is tapered near the bottom, in an isometric view (0 point perspective) you can clearly see that it's more narrow at the bottom
Now when you add a vanishing point, making the vertical axis converge at the top, things become wider when they're closer to the bottom. This can balance out the box, making it look completely straight
This can happen with a lot of things, like limbs, how do you deal with this? I feel like I might as well just draw isometric or 1 point and vanishing points are overrated

if the points get far away enough you can treat them as parallel almost with a slight taper if youre drawing a bigger box, you can even do 1 point perspective with a slight taper on the vertical and horizontal lines to simulate three point perspective, slight tapering on the vertical lines in two point perspective to simulate three point perspective and if youre doing actual three point perspective just have the points form an equilateral triangle and draw inside that triangle the box.

what even is your question though? how to show that a thing is wider at the top? just put the thing into context: if it's a tower dangle a rope off the top, put a tree next to it or whatever makes sense in that scene. and, to draw those things correctly (surprise surprise) you need to know perspective

He says after cheering on Russian missiles landing in Ukraine.

Muslims have attacked the west over and over again, I do not care about the people that were in the streets dancing and cheering 9/11 as it happened. And I get nothing is ever their fault and they can do no wrong if you frame it as oppressor vs oppressed but what they did on 10/7 was monumentally retarded and they are being held accountable. Want to not get bombed by Jews don't do terrorist attacks in their country, the living standards in gaza prior to 10/7 was higher than Lebanon, gaza enjoyed BILLIONS in donations. Now they pissed it all away. There is nothing in this world I love more than people that try to spin the narrative being held accountable for their own bullshit. They shoved their cock in a hornets nest now they see the results of that action
