What is the thing that you know is a bad habit of yours when drawing but you dont wanna change it for whatever reason?

I draw with my wrists almost exclusively, so most of my drawings are smaller than my hands, so if I try to draw big pieces I just feel uncomfortable at how empty everything feels.

for someone who claims he draws, there sure isnt much to show for it and that kinda gets me down.
also drawing on loose paper. makes it reeeaal easy to just up and throw a drawing away and "move on" to the next thing that excites me.

>What's a webtoon?
Webtoon is the ancient Korean art of scrolling comics. Instead of traditional manga/comic pages, panels are spread out individually for easier reading on cell phones.

>So they're just spliced manga/comic pages?
You can do that if you want, but they're fundamentally different for a few reasons. For example, panels tend to be drawn longer to fit phone screens, and traditional 2-page spreads are not possible to fit in scrolling format.

>Are there standard page sizes?
Technically yes, but it depends on which platform you post in. Naver Webtoons uses
800x1280px, but the site automatically splices & resizes images anyway.

>Do I have to make it in color?
If you want subscribers, yes.

>Why would I make one?
To be rich & famous, of course. All jokes aside, the pay is low if you're lucky enough to get hired in the first place, the deadlines are more brutal than the manga industry, and the average reader age floats around 11. But as a novel medium with a growing industry, it may still be worthwhile enough for you to experiment.

General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:
1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.

Is the anime style becoming more and more accepted in the American Comics industry? If I want to make a living as a penciller, is the anime style a viable thing? Also, is it possible to make a good living penciling and inking comics for publishers that aren't the Big 2?

I heard horror stories of anime-style comic artists unable to find work in the early 2000's, but surely things have changed now, right? Anime is quite literally the most commercial art style that exists. I find it hard to believe people aren't accepting of it, even now, in comics.

Drawing from memory has its place as a fundamental. But it's kind of ridiculous to literally try to draw everything from reference and immediately try to draw from memory. Sometimes simple accuracy drawings are just as important as memory recall ones.
Not everyone can be the next Kim Jung Gi
>>
>>7170312
it's an int level exercise imo, drawing something you don't understand from memory and haven't processed through the fundamentals is pretty useless.
>>
>>7168279
I'll make it simple

Pick a subject, characters humans lighting backgrounds objects, a type of texture, whatever just pick something you want to be able to draw

step 2: find photo reference

step 3: create accurate copies

Step 4(optional) : find people who's art style or stylistic choices you enjoy regarding the same subject.and keep a mood board of their drawings next to yours (You can also do master studies but it would be better to create you own piece with the mood board reference on the side)

Repeat for every aspect of art, linework, shapes, colors, animation, paneling, flourishes, objects, people, expressions, design etc etc

Practice until you are satisfied, eventually you'll improve your eye and see your past work as not up to standard

Drawing something you don't know and then studying reference as a spot the differences game is the most effective way to beat the brain's ego preservation system.

If you can draw a circle you can do the shrimp exercise.

eh, don't be so hard on yourself. I like the vibe of this

I think your values are too similar, and you can make better use of negative space.

Look up "10 minutes to better painting" by Marco Bucci he gives tips that can help you immediately too

7 hours isnt long. you are starting to realize why most do weeb shit. trace a 3d model or paint over an instathot for fotm anime shit and get praised for low effort by retards or spend days on an actual piece of art and thousands of hours practicing for little to no recognition. youll know you are an artist and see the effort in others. or youll measure all ypur success based on likes and retweets. choice is yours.

i can look at an inked piece of work and know the guy spent a day on a 2x2 square of grass. i know avg person wont even look at it or care. i can look at avg ctrl paint cutesexyrobutts tier "artist" and know they put 2 hours max into the digital sludge they shit out daily. i know coomers will praise that. i dont care. id rather make art. you can set aside that pieceyou are working on and focus on studies for grass and sky and anatomy. you can improve each aspcect over couple weeks of work and come back tot his piece for a redraw and see vast improvements. most wont care. but YOU will know its better. YOU will see the difference.

There's some talking about the fact that the "God of War" series of games may have that same issue. Kratos already went against the greek, roman, and nordic gods. Can they do the same with christian figures, or hindu, or islam?

About the issue, if the sacred figure of christ, or whatever angel or saint may be, is trapped and possessed inside a physical representation, that would be like idolatry, that blasphemous thing must be destroyed, and the enslaved spirit liberated. So you should be allowed to fight that idol representation and crush it to pieces with righteous violence. That could be a way out to solve the "political issue". I bet these are the kind of conversations that must be happening in the directive board of those companies making games, with a team of lawyers and theosophical experts LMAO.

Back again friends. This one took 35 minutes to make. I am very happy with how this came out.
Recently, i had seen one of you in a progress thread claiming to toss out a very well done 20 minute sketch. To say i was impressed was to say the least! It only showed how much more i need to grow as an artist. While i think i can draw some subjects reasonably well, i always take a devistating amount of time to get there. So much time wasted on the little details that only matter to me, the artist. I hope in doing this exercise everyday, i become more confident and accurate in my choices. So to make a reasonable with even a slight bavkground made me feel quite proud!
>>7167463
That is a good solution if it must come down to it. If i could, however, i would try to have it be that the player does "kill" them. (Once killed they will turn to ash and blow away back to their chosen destination. For the blessed that would be at heaven's gate, and the damned would emerge from the eternal lake of fire. I think this would allow for the player to feel righteous resentment especially if each holy boss gives an attaboy to the knight once they are killed. The game ultrakill allowed the player to feel a kind of kinship with the souls of hell, and i want something similar, and especially a parallel resentment to the archangel at the end, with satan!

Hello again friends. In this challenge, I have learned to accept some things for the way they are. A confession i must make, is that I have been commissioned to create monsters (my favorite thing to draw) but my indecisiveness has led me to stall finishing these for months now. While at the moment the work i am doing is for free, i am disgusted by my lack of progess and, at times, skill. In pic rel, the left head has been bothering me FOREVER. I just couldnt properly attach it to the rest of the worm. However, i gave myself an hour to simply do the best i could with the placement and called it done when the hour was over. Now i have to clean up the piece and move on the next part. Perhaps the commissioner can find someone to perfect it? But thats okay, im still learning and will get better. No exercise today, just an hour on this.

there's no point comparing yourself to seasoned pros that have been drawing amazing since they started and made money and fame off their art with MOTIVATES and INSPIRES them to be creative and plus ultra. Drawing as a /beg/ with a tablet for no reward while you fight off thoughts of suicide is not even in the same ballpark as what pros do. Of course your lines are going to be worse.

>>
>>7170309
no, we already argue about this many times, is the same as cellphones. In phones yes there are shitty models really cheap, all can make calls and do the core part, but in the middle range we already reach a point were all the devices are of the same quality, and the differences are just in the competitive part were brands give or sacrifice some aspects to add to anothers, then you have high tier devices were all of them are the same but they have some, particular, extra, that is not relevant to the core demand, and make a difference, really specialized products or just a bun of extras to pretend.
With drawing tablets is the same but you have just one key core aspect and nothing more, the drawing part, and that's it. We already reached a point were all the devices work good to draw like, since a few years ago, more than a few. My particular opinion... from like, since 2018 more or less, any device after that of the big brands are good, any, I'm not even talking about the drawing part but all the aspects of the devices, because if you talk about just drawing well.... you can draw perfectly with zero problems with devices from like 2014 or even further back in time. The bamboo wacom is from the 2009-10 and works perfectly.

With screen devices, yeah, anything starting around 2018 is good, from apple, wacom, huion, xp-pen, xencelabs, samsung. Of course you can't say the same from some cheap rebrand products or the ones that are specially, specially made to be cheap and short live, like i dont know... ugee, or parblo, even those are
functional, you know... the cell phone analogy.
>>
>>7170309
Have a 24r. Screen is somewhat dimmer with the pre-applied screen protector, colors are good but imperfect.
These non-laminated screens have some deep parallax, setting up calibration helps significantly but it limits you to be the same seated position every time when drawing with the same screen tilt. Not too much of a problem for me since I set it up in a way that encourages good posture. But it is something to keep in mind.
Tilt pressure goes wonky transitioning around the horizontal, as shown in that one video in the drawing screen thread.
Got a couple dead pixels but not too distracting. Calibration is weird around the extreme edges of the screen, but I don't find i typically draw there. Calibration is also strange around the left half's upper middle. Not too bad, but noticeable.
If these are the things you can accept, go for it. But if you're looking for a perfect device, save up for a better brand.
