What's your biggest art secret?
>>7840726Draw everything . Draw memes, draw cars, draw people, draw from diagram, draw movie scenes…like literally everything. A big reason ppl stagnate is that they don’t expand what they draw or stick to particular subjects like portraits, gesture, etc. Drawing everything also keeps drawing fun and interesting, ensuring you avoid burnout or boredom

I found out what the dent was when I unintentionally used it for its function. I dropped it and the dent bulged out. It's so the jug doesn't explode when idiots drop it.
how many of you draw with you phone? are you good? is anyone good?
>>7831088Phones are so horrible compared to my PC battle station. I hate using them for anything let alone drawing.
>>7831088did this on my phone a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty doable, but you need some kind of stylus. I used one with a rubber tip
>>7831088Have a friend who does it. But not only does she have small hands because she's a woman. But because she literally has tiny baby hands.
>>7831198>poorfagBuy a tablet and use klarna you fucks if you can't do that stick to drawing on paper until you get a job and finance a fucking tablet. Drawing on a phone sounds awful and ultimately you're wasting your time.
>>7836128This. Not as aggressively, but a good screenless tablet (Intuos tablets are crazy cheap used these days) or a cheap (300 USD) android tablet like the Teclast Art Pad Pro that has a pressure sensitive pen included. Drawing on a phone is a choice I can't get behind, even paper is better if it's just for practice. Drawing is unironically the cheapest hobby to get into.
How to draw a cozy vintage book store?
>>7836391i know a bit or two about perspective
I added a shelf, what should I do next?I know theres some issues with the books but I dont really know how to fix them
95% of what makes a background appealing is how you dress itTry adding a bunch of different sized boxes in the scene while considering their placement in relation to each other, if you want you can add a door and imagine it's an actual roomRotate some of the boxes, stack the boxesAlternatively you can trace a scene and just turn everything into boxes

>stunts a generation of artistsWhy did he do it?
>>7840037I don't give a fuck what his art looks like, the PDF is a bunch of exercises ripped from people who can actually draw. It's a convenient list of well known ways to practice fundies, not advice.
>>7812589What do I do then? Is there a better starting point around?
>>7840417how the fuck did I pass through the captcha? "find the image that does not have a pair" And it's the same fucking star over and over again, single star
>>7840417Is this it? what does it even mean Does not have a pair? it has seven points therefore it's odd? The same should be with a 5 point star. The fuck?
>>7840063I skimmed through it, and yeah, it's just repackaged Dynamic Sketching exercises. Seems faster paced than DaB and more approachable than the easily found DS videos which lose the main appeal of having a Q&A session. Some of the stuff later about building characters and scenes seems like it's thrown in because that's what people are going to look for and skip to, but if someone sticks with the form building exercises it's probably fine

ippai oppai
>>7840801cute, how long have you been painting?
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: >>7737531
>>7839670Do you have a gallery or something?
>>7840460Of my oc's or in general?
>>7838377I drew it, since I wanna make it like an anime. Sorry I didn't responded
>>7840790I think he's asking what we are thinking. It sounded like you redisgned your OC here>>7830274And redrew here>>7838219Here. Which we can see is two different artists.Sounded like "I redesigned her" implying you are the original artist. That's what is throwing people off.
>>7840797my friend drew the first pic, I only just redesigned it
Is the anatomy fucked up?
>>7840323Just fix the left shoulder (it's higher than the other one) and the ear. It looks good.
>>7840323Ehhhh not really. It’s certainly noticeably wrong in some places but it does enough things right that it doesn’t matter as much
>>7840443This is your brain on weeb
>>7840323Ultimately what matters is whether or not it's still appealing - and I think it is, so 'fucked up' anatomy or not, it doesn't really matter.Plus it's a cartoon, we might as well start talking about her dinner plate sized eyes at this point as well.
Anatomy is for pussìes
>he doesnt use AI to critique their drawingsImagine having access to instant feedback and not using it because of muh feelings
>>7840194I've tried, half of the time it doesn't know what the fuck it's talking about.
>>7840194Yea, asking to something that says 30% of his stuff wrong, but it types so well that makes you believe everything is true.
>>7840194It's useless word salad, would only fool a /beg/
>>7840221kek
I don’t know how reliable AI is for critiquing art, but it does a decent job critiquing my writing when I tell it to be harsh and direct. It pointed out flaws in my story that I hadn’t even realized were there. Most of its suggested fixes are shit, but at least I can get instant feedback to improve my story without worrying about someone stealing it.I assume it won’t be long before they can do the same with art.
how do one basically measure. Content(maybe for pixiv or DA) so to gain perhaps 6 digit traffic or sales. Basically gauging the elements, or in reverse, figuring the canvas based on current trend? Math is welcome but clarity will be the priority,>I would also post wsr but the faster, the better. >...ok that also means something else.
>>7839585>Measure >QualityMissed that

is there a way to get rid of this tooltip without turning windows ink off?
god i hate windows
nobody else is getting this issue?
I've never experienced this, are you sure it's windows ink? Have you got your tablet's drivers installed as well? I'd assume this may be caused by the use of window's tablet drivers, rather than official drivers of your tablet, though I'm hardly a computer expert and may be pulling this entirely outta my ass.

Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.Comment too long.

>>7839869>thinks copying is hard>calls me a begTheres thousands of people who can copy a photo with a pencil 1 to 1 yet they cant draw shit if they arent copying.Clearly drawing and copying are two completely different skills.I agree that if you cant copy something with at least 80% accuracy you should practice copying.But practicing copying only teaches you how to have more accurate observation, which is useful but its not going to teach you how to draw.
>>7839818copying is part of studying and a legitimate learning tool even in the non-anime art world, i'm pretty sure most people are aware that you're supposed to be thinking how was the original was drawn as they're drawing it.
another redraw study
>>7839918I mean it would take begs an hour to copy an image accurately, but they can easily mindlessly fill ugly boxes and figures on a paperif you tell begs they should study instead of copy, they are more likely to do it because it’s easier for themthe only way for them to learn from studying is to force them to copy images accurately and build up their observational skillsso when they start studying, they will understand what they did wrong and actually try to improve
>Ok I can refract nowBut how does one produce 6 digit traffic/sales to your da/pixiv/Facebook, in math, so, counting, measuring. No mean stupid comment now. Except if you are g*y.

>>7839167You are fucking hopeless.
>>7834602You're the first person I've ever seen talk about "learning anatomy" in these threads.I assumed everyone used these threads for figure drawing, pose inspiration, or working on final pieces.Ref packs are orthogonal to learning anatomy, which should focus on artistic anatomy resources. Lenses lie to experts and mislead beginners so at most they should do ecorches and check against their academic model. These photo packs are more for painters or figure drawing. It's been really hard since SEO and pinterest ruined search for references, social media getting locked down to needing an account to log in or rate limited, and then AI completely ruining search.I largely avoid male reference because almost every resource for artists is completely unrealistic with low bodyfat and being roided to the gills (female nude packs have the issue of most models being anorexic and/or having fake breasts). You should absolutely have the major muscle groups memorized and be able to draw an ideal muscular male, which means you don't need to rely on male refs as much. Male and female poses are also completely different and impact what an artist wants.Anatomy knowledge carries over to women but it's much harder to make it look good which any artist or teacher will tell you. Women's bodies have a lot more variety in their shapes and forms. It's much easier said in your post than done, you or the other post saying it's just intuitively easy makes me imagine the bodies being drawn don't require any hard anatomy skills.>>7839387That was my first post in these threads in months, I didn't know there was a bitch fit going on about something unrelated to what the general has been about.
