Feliz día de gracias Señor Lobo!

Good stuff man, studying real life images will help you alot in the long run.

i personally think this is your best week

Breaking down bad problems with Benjamin

my body is ready

Flip the Canvas

I'm trying to learn art from zero myself, so I know how hard it is. Good luck with your journey!

I think that practicing mainly using 2d references is skewing your “3d sense”. For a period try to draw only real life heads and see if it helps

idk how youre so dedicated😭😭 I can barely do art studies... How do you stay motivated..? I really need to know haha

Your heads are def improving.

my anus has anticipated this

Keep going!

i m not an expert by any means but i ll try to give you some advice with something i use. I hold a pencil with a straight arm to help me understand the angles better once while looking at the reference and once before drawing the thing i wanna draw. you can also use it to determine distances from a certain base point in your drawing ect. I think your progress is impressive so far and its nice watching you improve little by little :)

Remember remember the 5th of November. Thats when the new arbiter wolf drops

based grindset. you got it brother. we ll get there eventually

:3c Love the way you color each piece! If you don't mind can I give you some advice? Artist to artist? You mentioned having difficulty capturing the 2nd eye in a 3/4 view. I notice when you draw your sketch you're using flat planes, and straight guidelines...I think what would help you is curving the grid/guidelines around the sphere in the box. Using that line to help find the curve of the upper eyelid for the furthest eye. Your facial proportions are great! One thing that helps me when referencing/drawing is finding shapes in everything! Helps simplify and breakdown the drawing quicker. For example, looking at 3:31 top art reference, how I'd break it down is get the face down, then break the hair is to chuncky triangles. Torso could just be a box, and the hand as well. Then I'd look outside around the reference...wheres the negative space? I use the background to help clean up the silhouette more. Then I'd ad ontop of my sketch the details...hair strands...face details and fix the fingers x3 after all that I do the lineart n do on. I'm in the midst of art training rn...gotta stay sharp, your videos inspire me to keep going haha KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK !!! BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS !!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Nice progress, but maybe you should consider looking for real photo reference to study shadow, perspective, etc because the illustration used in anime is already be simplified to reduce workloads. Actually, you can make cartoon from real figures 😉

Sometimes you feel that you don't improve too much and thats perfectly normal, even the major illustrators in bigs industrys feels exactly the same as you, is part of the process of learning how to draw, there is a point you get comfort and need try something new to expand your skills, but at least in my case, rather than demotivating me, it gives me one more reason to continue improving, you can look at old drawings of yours, whether from a month or more ago and think "Hey, today I can do this same drawing soo much better than when I started" and internally I think, I can't wait to see what I'm going to be able to achieve tomorrow, It's been a while since I last watched a video of yours and god you've improved a lot, keep it up you are doing an excellent job

we in here

No joke, I think you have improved with the head shape and face, who is awesome to see!

Really nice Work! a little tip when using the loomis method for anime stylization is to add another segment(or half) for the forehand, it will help it look a lot more like the ref!

Dude I respect your persistence and dedication toward practicing not everyone can practice and study after they've realised "oh shit making art IS HARD" I really applause you for that As for the head and drawing heads I have found it's easier to actually draw the shape of the head as a whole and then add hair and facial features on it like an artist named Saito Naoki he is a great Japanese artist and teacher combo to boost I highly recommend you to watch his videos if you haven't already he presents many approaches to reach the same results which is what I like about him specifically look for any full drawing process videos he has to understand what I meant by drawing the head shape as a base for everything

U should draw a vertical line to indicate where the chin and eyes will be or else ur character will look like they have receding chin

Hey! Keep it going and don't give up!

This is so cool seeing you progress as time passes!

Beginner to beginner practice proportions, once you start to understand how things are placed they start to become more easier to visualize. Practice practice practice ❤!

To anyone reading this, please repent and believe the gospel! There is a loving God who wants to save you. And because He loves us, He (Jesus) died on the cross and resurrected 3 days later so we can be forgiven of our sins and be saved. Please think about the state of your soul, don't let this chance pass you by. Believe in Jesus and follow Him so you may have salvation. Life is short, please make the right choice today before its too late. Jesus loves you and is waiting for you to put your faith in Him.

boiii continue !!

I keep failing at drawing my boxes, they are always wonky and more loaf shaped...if the loaf didn't raise well. T_T

Man, i gotta thank youtube algorythm for that one. I've just started my drawing journey a month ago and been struggling with even going past the sketching process, thinking that, since my sketch is already so bad why even bother completing the painting... But I got really inspired by this video for some reason, thanks for sharing your experience. I guess not giving up too early is really something i needed to hear! Time to subscribe and hop on the drawing journey with you, can't wait to see where it goes :)

I want to see your progress, it motivates me as well!

You've mentioned the one thing that divides being able to succeed and failing early. This is easier said than done, I am well aware of it myself. While I am not an artist myself, I am pursuing something... that sometimes makes me question: "Will I ever be good at it?" Yet at the same time, this too is part of the journey. I hope that you and I and everyone that reads this succeeds in their plans. We're all in this together, let's do our best! And needless to say, the end result looked very very good! :D

I think you are doing great on your art journey honestly, keep up the work champ. Though if i can give you any advice honestly then one that i would definitely recommend is to seeking an art mentor or just a community where you can seek for direct and constructive criticism that either pin point your mistakes and tell you what to do next. As an self taught (anime) illustrator i struggled alot on what to study or how to draw something "correctly", I ran into burnouts after burnouts and simply cant figure out where i was wrong and what should i do about it. But I was fortunate enough to find a community where everyone are also friendly and constructive when i was on a low-intermediate level. And now after 4 years of drawing and improving i can finally draw some of the artworks that i can be proud of (im still not professional yet though) thanks to those ppl. So if you are feeling stuck, I think it would be a great idea just to seek for external guidance on social interactive platforms like Discord or so. Wish you keep up the grind and start slapping bangers \\👑👑👑//

Just stumbled on your channel and dang, this is awesome. Keep going man! Now I also really want to document my journey too, since I plan on locking in to do a month improvement challenge soon (after wrapping up a version of inktober + life) Anyways this is super inspirational

First time posting, but it's good to have that mentality. Some resources that I recommend is SomeNormalArtist or Marc Brunet. Been there at one point but just got to keep pushing my brother. You got this! 😀

awesome, keep learning! :)

The second drawing looks so much better! I believe it may also work to do a drawings (such as the one of the begging) then "study" (like the boxes, videos, etc) and then attempt it again.

Try taking a vacation

Long time lurker first time poster, glad to see you keeping up with your art. Great to hear your mindset and I know you will get there one day. The little stuff are showing like when drawing the first head, you redrew the eye because it was too far apart. Keep it up Arbiter Wolf.

You already have the mentality for art, you're gonna be just fine. Most people who try to get into art always give up when they start to struggle, what they don't realize is that the struggle is necessary and even great artists struggle pretty often at times, it's a big part of the process. Without it you won't really improve as an artist. The ones who get good are the ones who never gave up, they pushed through it all and came out the other side stronger and wiser 🤝

(sorry for bad english) staying consistent is the worst thing... ( tip: try to draw in traditional, get an sketchbook, doesnt matter were youa re, if you want to draw and have a time, you should, and traditional helps on that )

Sucks to hear you had to work so much these past few weeks. Still, it's honestly impressive how you draw considering you have a full-time job and you put in so many work hours in a week. Hope you get more time in the coming weeks. Cheers

This one is awesome, even the audio improve! yeah time management can be hard sometimes

Damn, you improved tremendously when the last time i watched your videos, keep going fellow artist!

As a homeless man, this video distracted me from leaving my wife. Now I'm going to have to pay my bills. Thanks..

This video distracted me from paying my bills. Now I am going to be homeless and my wife will leave me. Thanks...

It's so hard not to get distracted by other stuff and stay consistent. Definitely need to work on that more, also great drawing!!! I can see the improvement

The underlay you drew is a different angle from the reference. With your angle the right ear shouldn't be visible, and the left ear should be at the midline on the side of the sphere. You didn't really understand the method you were using and just copied the reference. You should do some real life studies at different angles to get a better understanding of the general shape of the head.

Really cool stuff. Wishing you the best on your artistic journey!

If i could give a piece of advice try drawing with straight lines first to help simplify the process, i think you move on to inking just a bit too soon feel free to erase and adjust especially during the sketching phase.
