I was living commission to commission but recently I got 4000$ in retroactive autismbux.Is a 1500$ display tablet a sensible investment if I'm trying to become a pro, or should I save and keep using my screenless tablet that still feels unnatural after 5 years? (I know because I've used both types in electronics shops and Wacom showrooms).
>>7375224Yeesh
>>7375224I mean... it's not awful, but it's not exactly great either. For making such a big deal about measurements, your measurements are kinda all over the place. That's really your "I know what I'm talking about" proof?
>>7374793What? Anon you do know that you -do-walk back and up to your easel when doing sight-size right? You pick a fixed spot to do your measuring from, then walk to your easel to make a mark, then back to your fixed spot and measure again, back to your easel to adjust your mark....t did sight-size at an atelier

>>7375097>I'm not sure digital is actually more expensive than traditional.I guess it's more proper to say too poor to afford a drawing tablet. I've definitely seen that trad has a lot more hurdles and expenses, but I've always drawn trad and it's what I naturally gravitated to before realizing that sticky notes would not cut it lol>Do you have a computer?I have an old laptop on windows XP. It runs pretty slowly with modern programs, but there are always older versions. >Do you have a smart phone?Yes
Going to be out of college with a BA by 2026, how is the job scene looking? Should I be learning any specific programs besides Harmony right now to better my chances? Would grad study be a smart idea?
>>7375230That is a very grim statement my guy. Well, then again, it just looks grim from where we are standing. Maybe some good stuff will come about because of TAG in the coming years, but as it stands, if you're doing animation, work on that portfolio, network, but just keep in mind you'll probably gonna have to be doing a lot of independent work and that the market is currently in a big drought.
>>7375108you'll need a cheapo plastic transparent drawing pad, a portable light bulb/torch, and one of those tables with a drawer under the drawing tablevoila ya got the ingredients for a rudimentary light table i used something similar back in highschoolmost animator's did it this way before techto compile n render there's a stop motion app for android that lets you take pictures n align them yourself might have to build a makeshift stand to get them consistently thoon paper/ink you'll have to experiment with what you have availablei used the cheapest thinnest paper for rough pencil stuff then sightly better paper with black ballpoint pens for cleaner rendersdepending on the light source i'd reccomend limiting work time to avoid damaging your eyesbest of luck anon god speed>>7375230Comment too long.

Is it too much to ask that they teach you how to draw these toy mannequins? They always show them off in their books and tutorials—these super cool toy mannequins that would make it easy to pose figures from imagination. But then they just show them off as promo material and never teach you how to do it.Is it too much to have a clean front/side view at least? So you can copy it? People like "Kawaii sensei" and "tenten/whiting" are guilty of this, but there are more.

>>7374626I've been drawing my entire life but I don't know how to draw anything. I just construct shit and hope it looks good by the time I'm done.
>>7374636>>7374626>Is it too much to ask that they teach you how to draw these toy mannequins?As an artist, you are able to copy and reproduce anything that was once already drawn. What's your problem, try to think with your head and draw the same mannequin in a different pose. Don't be a retard, try using your hands, eyes and brain.

I have returned from the box cave.
>>7374770Well ok you don't have toBut it's a good exercise.
>>7374788Dawg it ain't even been a week. You gotta let boxes into your heart. You need to be a schizophrenic faggot for boxes. See them everywhere and feel them with your soul. It takes more than a week. Twist em, join em, boil em mash em cook em in a stew. BOXESBOXESBOXES.Anon,
>>7374788It looks like your'e still unconfident with your lines that comprise the boxes. Remember, point A to point B, ghost the line if you have to. At this stage, the straightness of the line is your goal. All art is a 2D illusion of depth upheld by the straightness of your lines.
>no improvement of the brush engine and performance next year eitherOh well, I don't know what I expected. Does anyone else feel like they're spreading themselves too thin with all these 3D and vtuber bs? They're adding support for exporting subtools in bulk, so that's something at least.
>>7374534They've gone full subscription-scam. You can't use the mobile version without a subscription and you can't even get bug fixes for your "lifetime license". There's the recent bug where file previews are broken on macOS Sequoia and customer service will just tell you to upgrade to the current version of 3.0 if you want a bug fix. They should just admit they're selling unsupported old versions.

1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)Previous Thread:>>7351467
>>7374761This is Akemi Okuya aged 22. After being abused and cheated on by a 'chad' her age she now seeks the warmth and comfort from a virgin salaryman 15 years older than her. She has grown to appreciate job stability and the calm she feels from knowing her lover won't ever cheat on her. She is currently studying plastic arts at the local public university.
>>7374890This is the only good character design I have ever seen here
This guy's called The Raven just a little sketching of him I did at work. He's a kind of secondary antagonist in the novel I'm working on.
Verch and shaschalaschaka op from previous thread here, not only a request but also a thank you. Ive been in a creative swamp lately and all the fills and replies really moved me to work more with colors. So I went back to the lab and cooked up something new for the thread, plus expanded a little bit on the lore. This is Hasdrubal lord leonorus, one of the King's generals, he's a smug book nerd who ended up in charge of a military legion. Sort of an academic rival to Verch. Have fun with the design.https://files.catbox.moe/wor9ho.png
Drawing this girl over and over again... calms my spirit...
Does not even have to be good, I've done a few pages of these literally just copying hands and even trying to draw some without looking at the reference.Let's say... for every one drawn with reference, you must also draw it without reference. You must then make a drawing utilizing what you've learned. Don't think too hard about it, just do what feels right and change what doesn't. I'm just curious what the outcomes will be putting quantity over quality. Pic related.
>>7371796>>7372962>>7374258Great work, keep at it.
>>7371074I fucking SUCK at drawing cylinders so I will be posting 100 cylinders.Great thread OP. We need more of this.

>>7374258Feel like really focusing on the nose made some of these a lot more achievable. >>7374618Thanks, anon. I'll keep it up til I hit 20 days. >>7374705>>7374774>only 1 word in frenchowari daJk, really nice cylinders, anon. The perspective work will definitely help you a lot. I'm honestly pretty bad at perspective, but grinding it out like this helps a lot.

>>7374442imposing upper christian actions on pagans is less work so hey now what what what what you really should have donated it. think of all the wasteful carbon cycles that have to process the exhaust fumes of the BASEDBOY getting his delivery CHECKEM package by ACE DUBSMAN LIGHTNING WING MCCOY then deciding drawing isnt for them because uh well it just isnt? idgaf. when did 4chan become everyones personal blog? when will this site just die? but yeah you could've made jessie smith grade 7's day when her single mother just sighs that they cant afford it. but look its a tablet just like at the store but cheaper! wow mom can i get it ? jessie practically marries the damn thing and all you had to do was not feed into the chinese xie xie XIE XIE DIE DIE sseriously are asians so assblasted bad at internet or am i lame?

>>7375145Just redraw it dont fix the same drawing you already finished. Go learn something and then try drawing her again, with your corrections in mind.
Is it common when referencing/copying that you find the drawing much worse the morning after? Like you don't see the mistakes the first time but later on when you look at the drawing from different angles? Or when you take a picture and look at it after?
>>7375169>start over completely instead of just moving something out of place like a normal artist does 1000x per drawingInsane.
How does it look? I don't draw often so be kind.
>>7375145>this cheek is fucked>it's one line go fix it>I don't think polishing things is a good ideaI love /asg/.
int telling beg to "just draw" is akin to extrovert telling introvert to "just be yourself"
Draw when drunk to stop yourself from overanalyzing shitMileage is by far the most important thing
>copying art you like before having done your 5000 boxesYikes, better not do that and risk permanently dooming yourself to /beg/dom.
