>learn basic loomis approach >learn the basics of skull>learn some muscle and perspective
Looking for actual guides/tutorials on nsfw drawing/animation, since it's very hard to find anything more than boob turorials.
>>7917809...it's just naked people? so any anatomy class. and the internet is full of porn. you don't even have to know how to draw pussy when you just throw a mosaic over the crotch.
>"nsfw drawing" tutorialhow do nodraws manage to get dumber and dumber
>>7917856Zoomers have basically reached a level of neopuritanism where they self censor basic words and demand to cover anatomy models in books and doctors offices.Questions like this are very much in character, drawing or not.At the same time their brains and dicks are so competely fried and ruined from internet pornography that they became unable to associate a nipple with anything other than the porn industry.
>>7917812>>7917856They mean more like pic relatedI know it's easy to tear each other down especially when we don't understand.Let's build each other up instead With NSFW most resources on anatomy tend to stop around the crotch and breasts and don't show how the muscles properly connect and stretch around the genitals. Or how the genitals are constructed and their underlying forms.https://mega.nz/folder/DcsGnbBA#p_4kYZH8eELtKtuUgcULNAHere's a folder of nsfw specific/adjacent infographics I've saved from here over the yearsI hope it helps other anons diving into pussies, cocks and assholes of all kinds.
>>7919856OP here, thanks a lot anon, thats exactly what I was looking for.
Why is it so wrong to like attractive characters? >Be artist into guys>Draw a ton of porn involving men >Nobody claims you have a fetish for men and are pushing your fetish onto a work >Be artist into women >Draw a ton of porn involving women>Someone sees you have a sexy woman in your comic and they lose their minds because you are sexualizing wahmen and it's bad!! You see this for other things too like femboys and I do not understand the double standards
Huh? What? Stop going on tiktok
>>7919947It's not . Just stop listening to mentally ill people on reddit and x
>>7919947all you should care about are your artistic skills. If that's your art practice parespetice.
>>7919947>>Be artist into women >>Draw a ton of porn involving women>>Someone sees you have a sexy woman in your comic and they lose their minds because you are sexualizing wahmen and it's bad!!>ignore them>profit anyways
when I get angry I draw wojack adjacent pictures of myself
the artists who make it ironically are the soulless ones doing it for the money, because their ambition forces them to paint at a high level
>>7917424
>>7917457i fucking love russian furry artists on furaffinity who will do a full-body full-shaded character at a high INT skill level for under $100 USD. i'd rather buy three of those drawings than a single $500 illustration from a big name western artist.
>>7917424lol
>>7917424Cope the post.
Neil Gaiman made an accurate observation about professional artists.You need only two of these three qualities, but all three is possible. 1. Be Very Good.2. Be Personable. 3. Be On Time with the work.Having two of these will often excuse the third.
How often do you guys think about restarting whatever your project your on to start something new? Im working on a pretty long manga now, but the last few weeks I've been thinking up a story about some chad human dude with some big horse woman. Im always thinking about different fancy new projects, even tho my current more normal one Im still enjoying making (even tho im losing some steam). You guys have any room for starting new projects?
>>7918545> "for you, it's on the mouse"
ok seriously, look at the money this guys makinghttps://www.patreon.com/falconbladewhy not just turn all your characters furry, same story, but get the furry market for free
>>7918494>NOOO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DRAW ANYONE BESIDES WHITE PEOPLE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>7920378Furry market? Furries value art more, but isn't the furry market tiny compared to anime market? Can we stop with the furry money meme?
>>7917745Try roughing out stories that are self contained vignettes, from four to eight pages. A project is always educational and worth doing for this reason alone.
>used to drawfag during Christmas break >drawfagging slowed down greatly when the semester started and then came to a complete stop not long after >Feel burnt out because of this gay shitAt least it’ll be over in a few weeks. Anyone else struggle with this?
>>7919296if i could i would drain your youth and consume it to keep myself young
>>7919327You will consume my shit retard
>>7919296>Anyone else struggle with this?All the time. It's natural. You can either wait it out or find something to get you drawing. I usually go on /v/ drawthreads whenever they open up. People there will request random shit and I'll just draw it.
>>7920400>I usually go on /v/ drawthreads whenever they open up.you know anyone can just make threads?
>>7920403Yea. But, I don't usually like to make threads myself.
My grandpa worked as a martial artist until he is senile and had taught me some moves too along side some tapes for me in case he died or in this case got dementia.I was wondering if tracing his tapes or recording myself doing those moves then tract it in my art is ethical or moral or socially acceptable. Tbh the old fuck got a shitty style and his martial arts are more in the health improvement part like yoga but it still looks cool
If you own the material it's 100% fine legally and morally speakingSo we're in the territory of "some people will not like it when you do it" but how would they find out if you didn't tell them unless your drawing is so shitty that it's obvious in which case you just gotta work on them skills like anyone else... but only if you actually give a fuckAnd why is a variation of this same thread popping up every 3-4 days now
I just asked and they said no, it's not ok.
>>7920368bot
>>7920367Sure go for it.Tracing tends to give a more stiff feeling to the drawing and it obviously isn't going to be stylised in any way by your hand, but it's a decent way to learn, and can make quick results if you're going for a very realistic drawing.
Post 'em.
Who are your favorite art twitch steamers to watch? Someone who’s actively streaming at least once or twice a week
lack because his avatar is a coffee cup
>>7917143huge waste of time just draw.
Watching other artists pisses me off now, I just can’t anymore. It’s more of a me problem because I should be the one on top as well.
>>7917143Not so much an artist, but a place. I watch streams on piczel a lot. You won't find the biggest name artists there, but the site has a more relaxed atmosphere, and there are regulars who would stream tv and movies along with their drawing.That said, the site composition leans towards adult content and furries, i.e. people who can't stream on Twitch or Picarto.
>>7917143Do you have any? Who is the one in OP?
I always thought pencilslop discussion was crab cope, but i've tried and failed to get coloring right. The shades won't smudge the way i want, nor do they get the desired color even when i paint repeatedly to get a darker color. I can't get yellow to look right either, and the paper is about to tore and give up on me from constant erasing and re-drawing. Any traditional artist that may be able to give input on that regard? The Eco-Colored Faber Castells on pic-rel were the ones used. The usual critiques are also appreciated.
>>79168301983, eh? Awesome that you've held onto it. Know what brand of pencil you used? Your colors are super boldly done. Beautiful.
>>7912590For colored pencils, paper matters more than the pencils until you're at a professional gallery exhibit level. You can make fine pencil color art with lower quality paper such as cheap journal paper or copy paper. But it requires different techniques. You can never get something like this >>7916830 on slick and thin paper. But if instead of smushing the color into the paper you lay it down as soft and consistently as possible you can build up layers and completely cover up the surface with soft tones like in the picture I posted. This works better with cel-shaded styles that separate tones.For soft and complex transitions you do need good quality paper meant for art. The best paper for colored pencils is one with thick but not cushiony or easy to dent consistency, low to no pressed texture and a fine grit surface. Pastelmat by Clairfontaine is the most popular paper with these qualities. It's also $6 per A3 sheet on average.For a similar but much cheaper experience you could buy a sheet of 1500+ grit polishing paper at the hardware store. Should be $1 on average. Just be aware it'll eat up a lot of pencil and you'll have to keep whatever you draw in a plastic binder sheet or spray it with fixative when you're done. Other middle ground options in cost and quality are vellum surfaced bristol board or cheap hot press watercolor paper like Baohong or Fabriano's student grade paper, or even the watercolor sketchbooks you can find for $10 on temu/ali. Ok quality watercolor paper happens to be good to great quality color pencil paper so long as it's both 300gsm and HOT PRESS. The school grade FC pencils you have are good enough to learn with. Don't worry about upgrading them until you use them up and are sure you love color pencil art.
>>7916999I think itwas Farber. Whatever the high school provided. And it wasn't paper that I did this on,a cardboard like white surface thicker than Bristol board, and I chose it for durability as I draw in normal pencil, driving dark areas with force, but I have been following up with black gel ink which does a superior job defining darks without causing dents in the pictures. This was done on paper when I was 14 or so and colored pencil was employed. I think magic marker of some sort in places.
>>7912590Materials are extremely important. Looks like you’re using colored pencils, and I’d recommend using Lyra graduate colored pencils instead. Lots of them are already dark and they’re good to learn with. Just keep trhing colored pencils until you find what works for you
>>7916735Ay! I like your drawing Thanks for the insight guys. Coloring has been giving me issues for a while, and despite informing myself and applying what i learnt to the best of my habilities, i coudn't get it right. I'm gonna be completely transparent; i'm in no position to get materials. Whatever money i had has been eaten away by medical bills and i left my job because of poor health. Drawing is a thing i keep to myself, as my family would probably laugh it off, and i don't have artist friends anymore to talk about it, so i probably wont be getting art related gifts anytime soon. I do own a notebook, but i found very hard to draw with a mouse, and i have a tablet but i can't draw with my fingers for the life of me, i'm an ignorant boomer in the tech-related ways to draw, but i was thinking if it may be a possible alternative, anything you guys would reccomend? As long as i can emulate using a pen on it somehow i think i'd be able to get behind it.>>7917044So nice, thats the kinda feeling i wish i got across on my drawings. Maybe i won't give up just yet... Thanks for the explanation anon

There are so many posts of people asking if they should draw a certain way, or if that way to draw is a good idea, etc. My friends, If you are having to ask a bunch of strangers if you can draw, then you've already fucked up. Everything you need to know for drawing will come with observation and purposeful drawing. If you have a question, try it out first and think about it. If you still have questions you still have, then ask for some critiques. Critiques are good, but you have to try what you want to draw. All drawing is is a bunch of decision-making. Make the decision to actually draw. We can't tell you if you can make it big one day, but for sure the people who will, aren't asking if they should try drawing in the first place. They just draw.Again, draw purposefully, ask yourself what you want to improve before you draw. Draw. Find reference for what you're drawing and observe the reference closely. Find ways you can improve your drawings using reference. Draw. Repeat. You will get better. There is no way to get good quick. Just observation, decision-making, and drawing.Also, gonna share a doodle of mine, a cool ninja/samurai woman.
>>7919774Dumb nigger
>>7920074You make posts begging idiot strangers to tell you how.
i never did anything but „just draw“ and am probably better than 40% of the board. doesnt mean studying with a plan (fundamentals etc) isnt better, but if you dont have the energy/ focus for that at any given point, „just draw“ is still the best advice out there to get better.
>>7920115okay, what next?
>>7919582>>7920126I think I should reiterate something, because I feel some people may be confused on my point. Studying, reading books, learning fundies are still important. I classify those things as a part of observation and reference, so I didn't mention them. However, people on this board need to learn how to be ok with fucking up and trying again. They ask random strangers these questions, in the hopes they don't have to ever make bad, embarrassing, fucked up pieces. Those shitty drawings are how you learn though, and everyone has made them. So just draw. Drawing today leads to better ones tomorrow, as long as you draw with a goal and purpose everyday.
Hi anons i hope you all doing well btw here's a silent comic I've did in 6 days to challenge myself feel free to criticize so i can improve thank you page 1
>>7858687first thing i noticed is the lack of lightingwhole panels where the only visible shadows are between someones chin and the neck (always in the drawn in same spot too) and within small fabric creases / places where a shadow should 'obviously' be.using lighting more decisively can create immersion, set moods, direct the viewers attention to whats important etc and when youre limiting yourself to black and white, lighting is one of one of the best tools for this stuff.
>>7909980>>7858687also because I love wrestling I drew the guy for you
>>7910053Send it to OP anon It looks dope He'll draw something for you (I DM him and he's super nice)
>>7913134He's too afraid I guess from reveling his identity
>>7910053Cool art
