For a board game assignment. Professor said we didn't even have to make any graphics but I don't want to submit just a grid y'know

Might add some props later if it's necessary for the mechanics

I wish I had that motivation to actually improve at drawing DB like you do

Big Boss · February 19, 2018, 04:54:53 AM

Finished watching Samurai Champloo. Was hell of a watch, I loved how fluid the animation was and characters were awesome. The soundtrack was pretty great too. I really liked how the actual plot was pretty thin and allowed for more varied self contained episodes they could get creative with.

Motivation is worthless. Build a habit of discipline instead and every aspect of your life will improve.

Motivation is worthless. Build a habit of discipline instead and every aspect of your life will improve.

Explain

Motivation is very fickle and comes and goes independent of the individual. Discipline however, is behavioural and can be acquired through routine.

In a limited sense, tell yourself you're going to draw for minimum 30 minutes a day. It takes 21 days to build a habit (and 7 days to break one), so after 21 days, it'll be easier for you to just draw every day. And if you're drawing every day, you'll improve in no time.

Once you realise the merits to discipline it'll start to influence the rest of your life. At least, that's what it did for me. Focus on maintaining a consistent level of "hard work" in everything you do and it will no longer be "hard work," it'll just be your baseline work ethic.

Gosh, I just imagined Jiren saying that.

"Motivation is worthless, only absolute discipline matters."

Jiren and I are both Uchiha edgelords so it makes sense.

Trying to find good references to draw Goku on Google Images is a hassle. It's 80% fanart, I'm guessing you need to be super specific to find official pics from the anime or manga on there.

Here's some of the stuff I have on file:

Spoiler

Angled Noses:

Upper Body angled muscles:

Misc. saiyan hair:

side view:

expressions (be weary, these are VERY contemporary yamamuro):

gogeta at angles:

female upper body:

some useful poses:

little takahashi reference:

nice muscle reference:

good shading reference:

gohan character sheet (movie 8 IIRC):

ssj3 hair reference:

buu saga goku ssj character sheet:

UI Goku cs:

eyes:

male upper body muscles:

bicep examples:

quirky goku ref:

shading ref:

gogeta positioning ref:

mouths:

misc.:

goku posi:

trunks movie 8 cs:

vegetto posi:

goku misc. angles:

male back muscles:

the worst things in existence:

misc. posis:

U6 Goku ref:

more male upper body ref:

bardock hair ref:

face shading ref (new vs old):

face posi (limited applications for db):

lighting ref:

As for practice I'd say redraw any specific piece of the character you want ten times a day until you absorb the material. Then you can start to play with it a little more. Good luck!

i have both but ig just isnt where you go if youre looking to network and grow. its just a place where people post redraws after redraws and make money on endorsements. its pure narcissism.
