A bad sharpener will slow you down and ruin your pencils.

If this was true there'd be a more linear distribution of viewercount as one went from pre-/beg/ to something around /int/. But that's not the case. We have all seen completely shite art that also has no cute/funny redeeming value and yet it gets more views than (you).

Got a question about how objects rotate in perspective drawing. Pic related.

Two of the vanishing points are below the canvas. Red arrows in pic point to them. The red circled prism is what I am trying to draw the skateboard to look like, but some of the planes are pointing away from the top vanishing point. The prism with the A, B, and C labels at the center of the canvas is where the skateboard should be.

Do I have to make every line in 3-point perspective drawing align towards a vanishing point? If so, how do I achieve this downward rotated angle?

I feel like I'm doing a math problem at this point.

A thread for recommending and sharing brushes/digital art assets.

>Publicly editable rentry for CSP assets. Feel free to contribute brushes you have purchased. Assets that have been deleted from the store are also welcome to be uploaded here.
https://rentry.org/CSP_materials

>CSP assets store wishlist
https://rentry.org/Brush_Wishlist

>"What brush does this artist use?"/"What brush looks like this?"
1.)Search "brush (from:artisthandle)" or "assets.clip-studio.com (from:artisthandle)" on twitter if that's where they post mainly. Make sure to set it to the Latest tab to see the artist's tweets. Or use Nitter.
2.)Search brush posts on their Pixiv Fanboxes/Booth/Patreon. Then try to see if it's on kemono or archives.
3.)If none of the searches work, then ask here.

>"My CSP is cracked so I can't use the asset store"
As long as you log into the asset store it works even on cracked copies.

>There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.
>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.
>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.

Very nice gestures anon.

Can you elaborate on redblob anon's gesture method? I lost that post but i recall it being something like copy one thing in 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min and 5 min gestures. I kinda got lazy wanted to cut off some fat so only did 1, 2 and 4 min gesture copy and a perfect(lol) copy last.

Also why do you like memory drawing better? I'll obviously try them both out to see which one works better for me but i would like to hear your insight as well.

Soul

I will assert that form is number 1. Can I not more easily manipulate the proportions of something if I know the form? But can you say the reverse if your proportions are “right,” but if you do not have the form down, or otherwise lack sufficient mental-3D-modeling ability? Everybody has to concede (even the crabs) that while my drawings may have incorrect proportions, they are almost never flat or appear symbolic (not even my eyes, which I try to carve into the head as elliptical curves no matter what, even if their shape is completely wrong)

Hey at least give me a chance, I screwed around with the Unreal source code and C++ for a year straight before I started drawing, so I guess my mind is organized in a certain extremely-left-side-of-the-brain type of way, I mean you’re replying to somebody who can be fucked / has enough free time to reply to every single post in the thread, so it would follow that if somebody who *does* actually draw has something to say or recommend, I’m likely to also reply with what I have attempted personally to try to get better at drawing and also my own other various thoughts in response to what was said (in relation to my own experience through drawing, which is very little).

I suppose what other people find very tiresome or irritating, I would personally find sincere and genuine - I perceive longer replies as taking more time to write, and thus, they are (at least in my perception) a more amicable and sociable way of talking to people on here than shorter ones (well I guess my mass replies are pretty short but I write longer ones here and there; I just want anybody who draws to feel included so they can never come back to /ic/ and say nobody ever gave them a (you) and gave up on drawing on account of that)

Besides, when I mass-post, doesn’t that aggro all the crabs and encourage other people to post? I know a lot of anons here go into hiding when they get crabbed ‒ and some of them even leave forever on account of getting crabbed ‒ or am I wrong? If I can get more (you)’s from crabs than anybody else, and have more verbal abuse thrown at me than anybody else, that fosters a better environment where more people can be encouraged to post their shit, regardless of whatever skill level they’re at.

Didn't the popularity of this thread blow up because I started getting autistic with my posts way up earlier starting with post? >>7167933

Again, I mean no harm. I might be autistic though.
