Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

Im sorry to hear that

i would help if I could but i can't afford to even keep myself alive

truly sorry though

Art thoughts? Tips? Advice??Whatever fits best I guess

So you think you are bad at anatomy?

Well what if I told you that what it is you're bad at isn't anatomy and it's portion?

What is portion? You ask well portion can help you draw anatomy if you understand portion and if you know those then well you don't really need to learn realism lol

Portion is how big an object is compared another one..

Example:

The middle finger is typically, usually, the roughly same length as the palm and the total length of the hand is typically, usually, roughly the same length as the face not head but face

The pinky fingers are the same length as the thumb and the total length of your hand is roughly the same length as your foot and your foot is roughly the same length as your bicep? Upper arm :D

So ultimately just learn portion it will help you a lot!

What can portion also help with?

Perspective!

What? You may be thinking so let me explain!

Perspective is how far or close the subject is to the viewer in the art work in the form of a painting, illustration, or photograph

Learning portion can also help you with perspective in some ways specifically to keep things in roughly the same size and in the same plane

Learning perspective can also help you with your art game regarding of what it is you're drawing

As well as you guessed it say it with me: Portion!

Which in the case you aren't drawing just a human but a landscape too

Let's say a tree and some mountains

So this case you would use a combination of portion, scaling, and perspective

In this case scaling is how big an object is compared to real life and portion is how much space an object should take up compared to another and perspective is how far away the object is

You would eye subject bigger compared to the others

For instance

If it's a human you would make the mountains and trees appear farther which would make them smaller

But if it's a tree or mountain you would make those bigger and the human as something interacting with them so the don't look like they don't belong in the small image

Would learning anatomy help you draw?

Yes but as well as perspective portion and a little bit of scaling

Instead of learning how to draw realism learn anatomy, portion and perspective!

That will help you most in your drawing career!!

And if you don't feel like doing all of that use a reference pertaining to real life or a real person for art study instead of fan art

That should help with a lot of your drawing problems

As the people say work smart not hard

And if you need to be like me and stare at your reference for such a long time you look stupid because you forgot how to draw then do it I'm not stopping you

Also...

Start by drawing everything with a simple shape and adding more lines and shapes (and erasing!!) till you get the form or the shape of the object you are happy with then add extra details

Trust me you will thank me later :)
