>>8071851>intelligence agenciesIntelligence agency and government associated organizations pay for research on 4chan and you can read the studies they openly run on us on researchgate. Who knows what else they do unpublished.
>>8071678If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.Perhaps good character design can be made without having any principles or rules in mind while discovering.
>>8071851>i don't know why sharty would shit up the chans unless they were paid to by actblue or intelligence agencies.BECAUSE they are cut from the same cloth lol, 4chan is not known as a particularly "not shit stirring" place, if anything having a reputation to go out of its way to shit up places for fun or over some petty imagined feud over literally nothing, the sharty is following in those same footsteps by being a bunch of largely asocial teenagers who think too highly of themselves looking for a target to demean
>>8072121nta but yes, think of the myriad of datamining threads where the thread is a questionbe careful!
Draw this in your style. Everyone on twitter is doing it so let’s do it here
>>8068638
today i learnt there is a massive gulf in talent between /pol/fags and everyone else
>>8068484skill issue
lol /pol/tards are too retarded to draw a decent picture so they shield themselves with irony and call you thin skinned if you correctly point out that they suck ass
>>8068480HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How draw for hours everyday although you absolutely hate your life? How to find the patience and willpower?
>>8064189What else would I do? Even video games don't have the distracting power.
>>8066787I'd rate liberal arts above physics. The low fruits of physics were cool, now it's just wankery and a competition whose degree has the harder maths. And what once the training ends? You realize it's all a sham. There's no insight, nothing useful in STEM. It dulls the mind.
>>8067012Were you the guy who overshadowed dragon anon's sculpture
>>8071629I always though dragon anon's sculpture was overrated.
Starting is half..
I drew all the Gen 1 Pokemon
>>8072105Nice work anon, keep it up.
Pretty good.My fave was Poliwag, and Elektrode looks pretty impressive too. ^^
I just started an art account, and have been posting my backlog of comics i never posted outside of 4chan. On reddit theyve been doing well, averaging around 4-5k, but I was getting nothing on twitter.Figured I'd make a fan comic for Merrivius and I saw that the moment he retweeted it, it went from like 3 views, to 6.5k likeshttps://x.com/a2ndsense/status/2114666771676549468Is the best strat just to do fanart for bigger artists, as well as for popular games/ characters? I got a couple of games artists I wanna do art and comics for, and I figure I'll try and post a few of them before returning to the archive comics I have.
>>8071097Last few times I posted on /ratings/ I mainly got ints and a few high begs, and the pros I'm talking about were at portfolio reviews so I dont know how much they're gonna lie to me.Probably more of a sign that I'm not putting enough effort into the shit I posted above as it was made pretty quickly, but some of the other stuff I've locked in for people seem to think is ok. Not saying I think I'm a pro, but people generally seem to think I'm decent enough to make it in comics if I make shit like picrel
>>8071627>/ratings/you mean /plg/?anon that thread has people rating without posting their own fucking workit's literally just a trolling hub where one goes to roll the dice and argue about retarded shit that doesn't matter
>>8071627if you can draw like that, why dont you always draw like that?
How would you rate merrivius?

>>8071991Norsemen in reality>what the fuck is an "Atlantis?"
>>8071986>repeatedly drawing a subject from imagination IS a good exerciseExactly. Sycra has two videos covering this and Jason Brubaker has a whole 90 day book on the topic. Memory drawing/iterative drawing/cognitive drawing/drawing from imagination, they're all different ways of describing the same thing. In order to improve at drawing, you need to be able to draw what you see so that you can draw what you know. Observational drawing and memory drawing feed into each other. The more time you spend looking at your reference/subject and then producing drawings of that subject, the easier it is to draw from memory (and when you draw from memory, you make what you've observed stick with you).With that being said, DAB is certainly better suited for people who already have a knack for thinking in 3D and want to improve at perspective. Irshad really does not want to admit that DAB fails to be accessible in this regard.
>>8071948You need to go back and re-read my entire post. You hardly understood a word I said.
>>8070262Crazy how good and clear the animation is. It really has all gone down to shit.

anyone else feel like they draw worse when they do it in chunks over a couple of days as opposed to shitting out a piece within 1 multiple hour session.
>>8072098mmm idk man, without a proper picrel i cant measure your work against mine.>Just look what happens everytime muscle girl anon postsmmmoh well, if thats your level its ok. btw, isnt the board for posting your attempts at becoming an illustrator/etc. and for us to beg you to also post a little bit of your process? i mean, i take myself as an hyperanalytic guy that likes to understand the process behind and not just you know, make something pretty. also that single anon you mentioned, the one that likes to yap about talent and all that shit, idk if he posted his work here, but he doesnt seem like someone that likes to put effort on something, so i would not take him as an example.
>>8072096lol thanks. Was some white dude with some big ass boots on
>>8072106Muscle anon is definitely better than me. I wasn't bragging about my skill, there's a reason I still post in /beg/.

>>8071099To an extent. I try to keep things so that it doesn't hold too much weight.And that goes both ways, because more often I worry that I'm not drawing fringe *enough* content, because it is what keeps the lights on. But when I draw one type of content, it makes me neglect other parts of my audience, which also makes me worry.
>>8066424Thanks for the info anon. He cute.Got any more?
>>8071149>how do i do thatNever mind, I see now that you just lack mainstream appeal and you prefer to draw bizarre broken (like the knees in that artwork I criticized at first) and weird stuff.Just keep drawing your retarded shit.

>>8072046That's just a traditional Slavic folk dress, and girls wore it to school because those were the clothes that they had.
>>8072046I wish European folk were more celebrated, but that's le heckin nazi nowadays and Europeans have been brainwashed to hate themselves.
>>8072045Thanks for the recc. They look pretty good.
>>8072045>>8072046>>8071588Is there a way to find high quality sketchbooks like these? I guess you can search famous/expert artists to see if they have any, but what if I don't have any artist in mind? If I look "artbook" or "sketchbook", I get a ton of low quality results.
>>8072032who is the artist, looks familiar
1/9I have a lot of grey pens and markers, and my idea was to put samples of them all on a sheet of paper and compare them on values and hues – you could use it as a buying guide to get just a few and still have a nice range of values.Note 1 – I'm located in Central Europe, and I buy my art stuff when I see it in physical stores, so plenty of stuff is missing, especially from the US. Feel free to post samples of your own markers.Note 2 – This is not an in-depth technical review. Everything is just based on my observations. Please note that there are a lot of subtle variations in hue, even if you have a 'neutral' or 'warm' grey.Note 3 – When I write 'bought open stock', I mean that these items are part of a much larger range of colours, sold in large sets, but also sold individually. 'Bought loose' means that to my knowledge there is only 1 or 2 greys and limited other colours, if any, besides black.REVIEW INTROThere is not a huge visible variety on how these pens and markers work. It's all inks, dyes and pigments, some waterproof and some not. The biggest differences are in tips (fine point, felt tip, synthetic brush), and of course value and hue.What is worth noting is that many brands suffer from the same problem – a clear difference between the colour on the cap and the actual colour of the ink. This difference can be annoying if you want to pick the right colour for your art.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>8070971not him, but I don't
9/9NOTES- You may see in the photo a variety of hues within the greys - leaning towards purple, brown, blue, green, etc. My Samsung has exaggerated this effect just a little bit, but it is still visible in real life. Keep this in mind if consistency is important for you.- I preferred to give the numbers of colours, instead of the colour name, because using the names would have created a mess - brand name colours that sometimes do not fit at all.
>>8070970man, that pentel color brush really raped the markers
>>8070970I really appreciate the side by side colors, since I hate when I greys look a bit "brown" greyMy favorite grey marker personally is my tombow N95 because it is so light it can be used as a sketch marker to ink over in my sketchbook, for me tombow markers feel really watery and easy to use I am surprised you dislike themThanks for the in-depth review OP! Neat seeing all the brands you have next to eachother swatches like this are always useful.
>>8070970Thanks for sharing your experience. I use Microns. Since I was happy with them, I never felt the need to try others.You say you use them for shading. Maybe I misunderstand, but they are more lineart tools, right? Not really markers. If so, which more marker style pen would go well with them for wider shading?
Previously on Real Housewives: >>8057339 >Look, there is no time to explain; take this pamphlet on the best practices here1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.2.

extremly shitty colour copy of one of my dolls.I cant figure out colour and values yet. Looks muddy and flat copy of a shota artist on pixivhttps://files.catbox.moe/2pvwsv.pngshitty attempt at another posemaniac pose. looks like shit but I have given up on it.https://files.catbox.moe/t4y8ho.png

>go to gesture site>weird, stiff, unnatural poses that are boring why? why is it so tough to find one where they just load up images of athletes, dancers, random people in a natural state, or something fun? i know pinterest exists but the image quality is low and you either have to scrape boards or save stuff individually

>>8066822taiwanese inspired gesture
>>8064079Looks like the site is ddead
>>8063902You've stumbled on something animators have known for a long time. A still pose can never capture the true form of a body in motion. There's physics, kinetics, gravity involved.Most of these photo sets are trying to compensate and "fake" dynamism with elaborate poses. But if you use them as the basis of your drawing, that fake staged feeling will come through. They're not fighting gravity the way a dancer or a runner is.If you want good poses with real action, take still frames from video.
>>8063904>i do not pirouette when i grab something off a shelf.Why the hell not?
Any ideas on how to improve my style?
>>8070868no. its not.
It looks like you're trying too hard to look like something you're not. You're copying the superficial qualities of schizo art, but it seems that your focus is more on appearing to be so rather than something you actually feel compelled to make. It doesn't feel obsessive, it feels lazy.
