Thank youu Ah yeah, I love Inktober I'm working on an oc challenge at the moment, so I think I'm gonna do the Inktober prompts in November If you guys want I can post the drawings from my current challenge!

Oki doki! They're a bit sketchy though--I'm trying to loosen up a little and not spend too much time on one drawing in particular So first of all, this is my new character Coleson! He's (not-so) loosely modeled after someone in real life I started this challenge to help me learn more about his personality and how he goes about his daily life I have 30 daily drawings to get through, and so far I'm at 6

The prompts so far have been 1. favorite artstyle (so of course I did Haikyu ), 2. your current outfit in real life (), 3. Bathing (don't mind that one lol, I needed an anatomy refresher because I was getting lazy ), 4. in a kigurumi, 5. sleeping (the pose was painful to draw but I really like how it turned out ), and 6. in a mosh pit (a work in progress that I'm not a fan of so far )

Oh my word that's so cool though

Thank you so much

Finally drew something meant for grayscale lol. The hair is pretty messy though.

I'd love to give some advice! Realistic art is a pretty broad topic though, so do you have anything specific you want to improve?

Take a picture of a cat or something and shade in the shape and then shade all the details

I don't have any better advice unfortunately

Also, I recommend you do some reading on the theory of perspective. Learning about vanishing points and horizons will make you feel much more confident with constructing scenes.

Starting with basic shapes is definitely excellent advice it's hard to progress in a realistic style without understanding the fundamental structure of what you're trying to draw, so whenever you can, try to break down what you see into simpler shapes like squares, triangles, and circles. Another good practice for drawing humans and animals is trying to analyze where the joints are; that way, you can get a better understanding of how your subject moves and interacts with the world around it. Lastly, no matter what, try to let your lines mimic the organic curves of whatever you're drawing. There aren't many straight edges in the natural world, so keeping your lines fluid will make your art more believable

For example, take a look at the drawing I'm working on right now. Other than the guitar, there are no perfectly straight lines. See how that gives it a very natural look?
