How to improve my art ( I do not trace my artwork.)?

Clearly Emily has been communing with Satan to sell her soul for the artistic ability to draw hands.

I completely forgot to mention, her linework looks very scratchy and unstable, some earlier even thought she was using a mouse, but she confirmed she wasn't. This is especially weird for Paint Tool Sai, since its one of the better softwares for making attractive linework imo. To me it looks a lot like she hasn't installed the tablet's driver and is just using it right out the box. @SamanthaPrater please tell me you installed the driver.
Not only that...
I looked at this image again and realized your fucking stabilizer is set to 0. What are you doing bro :(
 
She's like Bloody Mary. This thread has enough momentum that people are continuing to talk about her. It's only a matter of time before she shows up to EXPLAIN and DEFEND HERSELF again.

Also, she IS NOT FAT.
I'm sure she's still locked in a battle of (very dim) wits with whoever this other party is that's been giving her trouble, and before long they'll say or do something that annoys her enough that she comes back in search of a personal army again.

Honestly with individuals this exceptional I'm impressed when they even get the software working at all rather than putting their drawing tablet in the microwave.
 
if you really want to improve learn the fundamentals and practice and study
its literally that easy
tracing is fine if you are doing to figure out how something is constructed but dont use it as a crutch
use pictures as a reference not a focus
read loomis

if someone already said this then ignore

This isn't Itachi Uchiha (someone's Naruto Fan Character but they're deactivated), but even at a glance The pose feels traced in my opinion. My bad

As for the Ginger Uchiha,  somehow her father isn't a pureblooded Uchiha???? Despite canonically they're in the outskirts of the village, wat.
 
Real legit talk, I am shit about all aspects of anatomy and tracing isn't helping as much as I thought, got any help for something that daunting?
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is a book that explains it best, I think. Basically you must learn to draw what you are actually seeing and not symbols of what you think you see. I believe tracing can sometimes aid you in the transition, but can't change the way you see things by itself.

Also another art kiwi recommended it earlier in the thread. :biggrin:

I think this might actually be the solution to my own problem of not being able to grasp anatomy or having it come out very cartoony. Thanks for this.
