edit: sorry idk why the fuck the first one turned sideways. It wasnt that way before I posted it...

Yeah they turn sideways sometimes.

Anyway your pictures are amazing! I actually drew a Goku head portrait in ultra instinct. Let me see if I can find it.

Keep practicing, Ive been drawing dragon ball for about 20 years, and can sketch just about anything on model after all that time. However it took me all of these 20 years to be able to mimic the animes art-style nearly perfectly.

Ive been practicing drawing stuff from the new manga which has a different look to it since its drawn by Toyautoro now, and his style is much different than Toriyama or any of the key animators from the anime.

I would love to be an animator/key frame artist for DB Super when it returns, but I know thatll never happen.

Anyways, if I have any other pics on my phone Ill drop em here to check out.

My only advice is to just literally mimic the styles of the artists you like. Eventually youll get the hang of how they do their lines, their proportions, and down the line you can even add your own little twist to your art.

Thanks for the advice man. Really appreciate it. And the fact that you draw Dragonball so well inspires me.

This the only other one I could findbut I did this broly one in pencil/ink, and more in toyotauros (sorry idk how tf to spell the new dbs manga artists name lol) style. Theres a dude named young Jijii who did all of dragon ball AF manga and his shit is really good too. Instagram has tons of people too who create awesome content, you just gotta find em.

---

Oh and this was just the main-lines before inking and shading.

---

Last one for realanyways I did this one a couple years ago when the broly movie came out. I never finished it though, and just decided to semi-shade it with pencil instead of inking it like I usually do.

---

Thanks for showing me these man. I'll save them if that's okay with you? Just want an example of what ill aim for in the future. Gonna sleep now.

---

Good stuff guys

That is adorable. I should try some cuter things like chibi characters sometimes.

Holy shit that's pretty good, nice shading and line work.

Gonna take a small break. Will continue soon.

---

Ghosted Lines are freaking hard, im gonna stay on this until I get it perfectly.

---

Moving onto ghosted planes...

---

Not gonna be many updates regarding pictures as Im following the lessons from Drawabox. Its pretty intresting and I want to go through it as much as possible.

---

bump, feeling a bit sick tonight. Will give it a rest.

---

I hate my lines not being straight. Really want to fix this. I think it's just a problem with how my hands write/draw. Really need to change this.

---

Yeah I think I need more space on my table. Maybe I'll move downstairs a bit tomorrow. My lines arent coming out straight at all.

---

---

---

---

Starting on Ellipses.

---

Is Drawabox down? Its not loading for me and I want to continue with the lessons.

---

Ellipses, really bad at drawing circles man. My hand needs to be more steady, anyone got any tips with that?

---

Gotta improve this stage.



---

Hopefully my next few attempts will be better than that travesty.

---

---

Bump, just continuing with Ellipses in Planes.


---

Will have all of Lesson 1 done by tomorrow hopefully. Gonna take a rest now.

---

Damn, feeling burnt out. Really shouldn't rush these exercises.

Anyway I'll post a commission that I requested a long time ago by a talented artist. Its my character from Final Fantasy XIV!




---

Here is an Iron Man I have been working on, when I get downtime, in my little work notebook


---

And here is Tim Curry as Pennywise that I also did while work was slow

---

Those look so good dude!

---

Bump

---

I've started to follow a few artists that'll help me with drawing as well as continuing drawabox. A lot of them on twitter, instagram and Youtube.

---

It's always great to learn new techniques from YouTube/instagram.

ADCArtattack and Amie Howard Art are some helpful channels imo

Thanks man, I think I've heard of that second one.

---

Currently on Funnels now. Last homework before I move onto boxes.

---

Was studying Japanese today.

---

I think I've messed up these Funnels twice now. Its getting really agitating. Im gonna keep them and do one more.

For this exercise, it's meant to be two loops. Not one, not 3, just two. Other than that it looks pretty good. I only skimmed them but here are some considerations.

A lot of your drawings aren't confident. You're likely drawing too slowly and coming out with wobbly lines. The circles page was the opposite, drawing too quickly and producing inconsistent loops. That said I'm seeing some pretty solid improvement, everything beyond this point is practice. Good luck.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll try my best to improve more from here.

---

Was feeling light headed, didn't do much today. Will pick up the slack tomorrow along with my studies.

---

Almost finished on Funnels, this part took much longer than I expected. But im going to do more sheets to practice.
