Why are internet art communities so slow? All the art discords I’ve been invited to have been practically dead. Even the #general channels only get a few messages a day. It doesn’t take any time or effort to shitpost about random shit in the general chat.I know drawing is a more popular hobby than this so where is everyone?
>>8045415He's a faggot who traces
>>8045502Proof? I didn't know this
>>8042187The better is the artist, the less sense for him to chat with randoms. The famous ones already got their fan-clubs, while the good ones are grinding. I have been on a 20 Discord art servers in total and noticed that the most active shit-posters are also the people that barely draw. The best artists on servers usually just drop their works and that's it. I am not famous but I noticed with myself as well that the more I progressed skill-wise, the more willing beginner guys were willing to chat or befriend me, but once I became better their advice became useless to me. For every 10 beginners only 2 or 3 actually reach mid level instead of dropping out or stagnating and refusing to learn. Befriending beginners is kind of pointless, I think>>8042403Here's an example of what I am talking about, the average level on Quit3 was pretty level but there were moments when general could get 1000+ messages within 24 hours
>>8045519was pretty low*
>>8042187I stopped joining art discords after I tried joining a couple of the big ones and realizing most people there are trying to shill comms and then the not-artist scammers are also there bombarding people with dms about fake comms
I found this chinese artist named zhang dazhong (zero personal info about him online btw), how do you even get this good?

wǒ zài /ic/.How good of a computer is actually required for digital art? Is a desktop computer actually necessary or can I get away with a laptop? Any recommendations? Also, I'm thinking of getting a drawing tablet with a screen, don't know how fragile they are but I'd like to be able to have a portable little art machine.>get a tabletI would but I do actually need to buy a PC I don't want to go spend a few hundred dollars on something I don't need so I don't need something that can run a videogame. Might want to fuck around with blender though

>What is this?CRAB is an OCT where artists submit their OCs and participate in a three-round tournament where they are pit against an opponent to fulfill a prompt's task over the other. There are three rounds and thus three prompts that an artist must fulfill featuring their OC facing off against another OC using the theme and prompt as their guideline for content.>How many people are participating?40 people assorted into 8 teams with waitlisted contestants for spots that open up in-tourney due to dropouts or sudden departures.>How long will this take?From May 17th to Aug 29th.>Random art battles?CRAB has had animations, VNs, DOOM.WADs, and more submitted as entries in the past, that's where the 'random art' comes from.>How does this work?Main organization is done on Discord but it is not a requirement if you want to stay thread-only, however you do have to host your entries on catbox or other image hosts to be voted on by other participants. Every voting round will have a provided list available with links to read every entry as easily as possible.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

If you are a /beg/inner in art, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice.reply pyw to retards and post draws to win any argument instantlyfuck your links nigga just drawLast: >>8039914
>>8045239I recommend not getting too caught up in the weeds. You're making very complicated shapes from the shadows and lights Vilppu has put down. Look for the largest mass of shadows and light. Squinting can help with this greatly. After you have your shapes down, soften edges where you need to. Apply 1 value at a time, especially at your level. I'd argue you shouldn't bother with value until you can actually put things in place in a clean manner. Definitely work on your heavy handedness if you could, try to approach the subject with a more sensitive touch even when measuring. Avoid hasty mark making or rather mark making without clear intention, it'll just make your drawing look rushed and lacking in thought/consideration.You got the accuracy working for you close enough. Maybe look into sighting drawing techniques for more ways to see. Ideally, you should be able to see the bounding box of any shape you're drawing and compare how tall it is to the width and vice verse.>>8045368It can? All Loomis does is just make a simplified head, it's based on form principles of xyz axes. They are manipulatable.>>8045413The gay does not understand>>8045539tasteful legs
>>8045542Thoughtful critique. Thank you. Will try to work on it.
>>8045539Nice.
>>8045542>>8045551Should I change my brush to add some softness? I've been using Krita's "pencil-2" hard brush because I like how it can make light gray strokes with low pressure but also dark lean lines with high pressure.The other Krita brushes weren't to my liking. They go from too thin to too thick, or they always remain full black or too light, and so on.
even the normies are started to notice it about nsfw artist....
>>8038603Truthnuke. Especially when AI now exists.The idea of making "perfect art" was always retarded. Just do it for enjoyment and then retire in happiness.
>>8038603There's always room for improvement. So why not learn forever? Do you really thing you can know it all? Nope, never.
>>8038600Not really true. They improve but...>sometimes they get very souless (the artist does almost only pinups, even worse in a void)>sometimes it gets a simpler style in order to increase the outputFunnily, the more they improve, the more this is likely to happen. Maybe because it happenes after they secure a big enough fanbase?
>>8045424Diminishing returns. No one will care or notice that you spent 10 hours polishing each eyelash or fingernail. Most people just doomscroll and see pretty pictures, before moving onto the next subject.
>>8038603I love how controversial this isIgenuinely think some artists have a peak style, and when they start adding to it is can ruin and over-render the style. To me, achieving a peak expressive style but learning other details, like the background and more perspective is optimal. Some styles benefit from less overdetailing

The reason behind her spiral eye is that it literally gained a mind of its own. It fell in love with a spiral it saw somewhere and just decided to become one. Fortunately, it doesn't hurt her at all!I still haven't picked a name for either of them, so feel free to drop your suggestions below. What do you guys think of the art style?
>>8045430was she a Kurôzu-Cho resident?
>>8045447She denies it, but honestly, with that eye... I wouldn't be so sure. Maybe her friend is keeping an eye on her just in caseHaha totally! I love Uzumaki, it actually shares my obsession with spirals. The only difference is that I don’t want to turn into one!
>>8045463kek, at least she didn't end in tragedy
>>8045471Her eye is calm for the moment. She is safe... for now...
>>8045476Epic xD(I hope she does not do Uzumaki spiral stuff, it is a bit contrived since Uzumaki and Junji's works have been healvily commercialized and worked on on only a surface level by many artists lately)
