I regret having these specifically but I regret not having them sooner at the same time. Helpful, but... well it is what it is. 1/2

Here's some related material.

I would say at least make it fappable or /34/ related. Tutorials in general can still be found on /draw/ but I'd like to have a more promotion-focused thread here.

I'm also hoping to have this thread contain tutorials that /draw/ doesn't have.

Finding more penis tutorials than I thought I'd come across. Might as well throw in a vagina tutorial to mix things up!

Boobs.

Classic.

how does he actually manages to make his "fix" look worse

Hip/waist tutorial

You don't really get the point of that pic.

>>130550

This is great.

>>130546
I hate such tutorials. If you're a beginner, everyone slaps this shit in your face, and that you have to draw some kind of 3D model before you can make good art, and that you have to end up as some kind of Michelangelo to be a good artist. That's NOT true. Also, if you are that good at art, why waste your talent on porn? Seriously, if I had the skill to draw that well, I'd use it to get laid!

>>131096

I think every artist should know as much as possible about drawing a realistic person. Sometimes it's the simple breakdown of muscles that open you up to something you weren't full aware of. You're not going to see everyone drawing all the muscles and details but the general outline of the legs, for example, should be closely inspected. If you know how a real body works and looks, you can better depict it in your drawings.

The problem with some artists and their "style" is that it's the closest they can get to accurate anatomy or that they don't want to learn more. Picasso is best known for his cubism but he can paint very realistic pictures, though some of them look a little derpy.

As for being an artist, wasting their time on porn, that depends on how much of their art is dedicated to porn. Bruce Timm is a big time artist and animator but he does more cheesecake and nudes than many other artists.

>>131096
The idea is to develop an understanding of the figure, even if you rarely give them detailed anatomy. Whether using a real person, photograph, or posing software as pose reference, or especially when drawing entirely from your head, having an understanding of how stuff works helps you to stylize effectively. Now, some hose-limb characters might not have too much in common with a real person, but even the forms of flat Flash designed cartoons like TDI are closely based on real person anatomy.

Just to back up the point, I think you will be hard-pressed to find a good animation program that does not include the study of real figures and real anatomy.

>>131096
If people tell you "don't draw until you study this shit!" then you can ignore them, they're just being assholes. But almost no one is going to forbid you from drawing until you learn figures, its actually the opposite. Anatomy and art tutorials in general are there to help, they're like resources.

The most important thing to being an artist.... is to produce art. Draw anything and everything you like and do it constantly, everyday. Thats whats really important. Now, say you want to draw something, but you aren't sure how, or you can't get it to look how you want it.

Thats what tutorials are for, they are references or maps for how to get something to look the way you want it to. Tutorials don't exist to get you to draw like Michelangelo or perfectly mimic what is in the tutorial... but to give YOU the tools to create what you want.

>>131100
I like you.

I mean that in a budding way like that awesome bro-level teacher/professor or boss that gives food for thought in a firm but valid manner.

Fantastic. This thread is helpful. Hopefully it'll show up in my future artwork of Danny Phantom's ladies.

>>131096

you know what's the problem with your post?

that isn't a tutorial, it's a reference. it's not supposed to help you any more than what you can help yourself with it.

>>131096
I imagine the idea is to have believable looking man and lady parts should they decide to draw porn for like commissions and such.

I know some people that draw like 5 year olds and attempt to draw porn. One has a Pixiv for that exact reason.

You have to consider that tutorials and firm-handed references will use extremes to get their point across. You don't have to do ONLY what the example tells you but they do encourage budding illustrators not to fall back on a safety net that ends up cheapening up the potential of their work.

Some people draw horribly proportioned/positioned boobs, some draw stubby feet, some draw man-hands on delicate female bodies, some fail to have the right female proportions/body shape and just tack on boobs to a blocky male figure.

Yes, it is better to just draw and move on but some artists don't pick up cues as they go along that could improve their work drastically. Drawing for the sake of drawing may be a repetitive action but being complacent with your skill level is a horrible deathtrap.

Then you're missing the key to art in any medium:

You have to know the rules, so you can break them.

>>131233

No, you learn them to know *when and why* you should break them. Time and a place, and all that. That still doesn't preclude you from ignoring them because you feel like it.

>>131233

No, you learn them to know *when and why* you should break them. Time and a place, and all that. That still doesn't preclude you from ignoring them because you feel like it. That's why so much fanart sucks, they think they don't need to bother learning in the first place.

>>131233
Art isn't about following rules.

Art is about using techniques to create what you want.

>>131244

This.

>>131246

Only when we're talking about true expression. /34/ doesn't actually fit that. Still, it's to every artist's benefit to know as much about anatomy as possible.

>>131246
>>131243
>>131276

That's what I said. Adding more words is being asinine.

Leave to a porn board...

>>131304

To be totally anal.

...y-yeeeeeeaaahh ah?

>a tutorial about shameless tracing, Bioware style


Greg land would be proud.

>>131853
the guy who made it did not even bother to change the boobs...

>>130582

considering how balak drew for the last 2 years until recently this is ironic

>>Art isn't about following rules.
>>Art is about using techniques to create what you want.

Go read some Clement Greenberg or Charles Baudelaire or Rosalind Krauss, come back then.

>>131141
Is this sarcasm?

>>138876
never was a big fan of those mapped CGI models, they seems to miss the point of muscles, that is giving volume under the skin. I hope modern CGI delivers us a model that actually does that soon.

>>144402

isn't that a way to detect breast cancer

any loli related stuff? doesn't have to be sexual.

>>144416
That's the weird thing about getting reference for kid anatomy. It is hard to look for something useful without feeling like you're gonna get van'd.

anyone know where to get more of ovens tutorials? she has like three on her diviant page and thats it. but i see more floating around and i dont see them on the tumblr.

>>144418
kid swimsuits/leotard pics aren't that hard to come by. Gymnastic is a good source since the girls are fit and you can see the few muscle they have well. Beach or pool picture will give you a more diverse panel of body types which is important. naked chest can be found rather easily, and you can use boys as models anyway. The only hard detail will be genitalia. But well, I guess that's what hentai is for.

Saw this on tumblr and thought I'd share. Not enough Vagina tutorials out there.

You don't want to offend the wrong person. Shit becomes harassment central if you get THAT ONE PERSON pissed off.

>>152656
>>152810

I think the funniest part is the artist barely made a passing mention of it and you guys react like they shoved it in your face for the whole tutorial.

>>157385
Why does it need to be mentioned at all, really?

does a CIS vagina look different from a non-cis vagina?

>>152810
Who cares in the first place?
They're only a problem if you respond and feed their delusions.

>>157390
Like a man-gyna?

if only stick body parts in a different positions that count as a drawing?

sob, i cant draw...

This isn't really helpful if you don't provide a basic description or at the very least some tag words for each image.

With all the detailed dick and boob tutorials, It's nice to see something about vags.
