Hi, I recently got into art, begining of last year, and I just got into a substantial skill where I feel comfortable posting my art without making myself look like a complete idiot and tryhard. I will be posting here like once a week? If you are a close friend your character will most likely end up on this thread. So, to start, here's two drawings, one is my profile pic.

Here's a drawing of @hetalianpasta 's newest character and mine.

And here's a standalone art of my newest, and my profile pic.

a tip for getting those messy lines outta there:

try lowering the opacity of your lineart layer, then tracin over it in a different layer, usin longer strokes

after a while ur strokes will probably be smoother by default


good work on the rest of it btw!

I just felt like a loser kinda doing that, but I tried a lot and that was literally Alvah's online doppelganger.

tracing and copying is good for developing a style, just remember to remind people you traced/copied for practise
that's the entire reason my art is /this/ now

yes yes it's totally cool to copy/trace art, but be sure to always always give cred to the artist!

I 100% agree. I use references in all my art. Tracing actually isn't the best method of learning as opposed to sketching what you see but when I first started I used Dragoart tutorials and I rented a ton of books from the school library. I now own quite a few manga books but my first was Christopher Hart. However, I really recommend Mark Crilley as he does more explanations and teaches some concepts of art in basics that I am learning currently.
The best thing is to credit the original artist or where you got it from. <3 keep on practicing!!

I started off with Mark Crilley and his "how to draw manga" books really set me on the right path tbh.
