How does one draw?
Pic related. I felt good about it the entire time, until I finished. Then I hated it. And I also realized I was making outlines for no reason.

Is that a signature? You drew a shitty eye ffs, not a masterpiece
I love you user.
Nothing personal, just don't do that for simple sketches m8. Other than that, draw what you see, not what you imagine you see. What you do is called symbolism - when you draw an object the way you think it looks like. Don't do that either.
Love,
user
I do it for anything since it reminds me to stop fiddling with it afterwards.
Lots of love,
user.

Bit of Love,

I drew this today on PS
Good point. I'll actually do that next time, I forgot boards other than Sup Forums and /lit/ exist. Thanks.
More love than a bit,
user.
Glad I could help, hope you make it
A mediocre amount of love, since too much would be kinda gay,

Patience is key.
No matter how much skill we acquire, our ambitions are always five steps ahead, keeping us frustrated at worst, humble at best.
Never let that stop you from drawing though.

Don't seek for perfection, rather be satisfied with what you've accomplished and keep drawing
Also use references, especiall for things like shading and stuff
Here's a mega link for a bunch of books on drawing

lol the eye is shit
Learn that everything is made up of a few basic shapes
Master those
That eye you drew is a flat as fuck
Learn how light reacts on objects
Learn anatomy. Even drawing cartoon shit you need to know how bones and muscles influence what you see on skin
Then maybe find an artist you like, follow them and see what you can pick up from them
Best advice, PERIOD!
Turn the page over and try again from the mirrored picture
Yeah this. Youre thinking eye, so your brain says "eye", therefore you generalize your brains idea of what an eye looks like onto the page. Which can work, but not for realism. You have to carefully observe each shape within the eye that you see to get the proper form and proportion.
Aside from that, the range of values is barely expanding past the light/medium range. Go to walmart and pick up a pack of staetdler drawing pencils. The 2H-8B pack is like $10, but its that 8B that ypure really looking for. Staedtlers version of the 8B is as dark as charcoal, but doesnt smudge as such, so its great for getting some nice controllable value in your drawing. And last but not least, speaking of smudging, pick up a tortillon. The tortillon is the artists tightly rolled joint for blending perfection. Then its practice makes perfect from there on out.
