>>7909869might be an undiagnosed medical issue? ADHD? OCD? might be worth looking into
sam altman should really be dealt with
>>7915886i'm inclined to agree. someone fed the first chapter of frankenstein to one of those detectors and it said it was ai written>>7910171>chatgptmight as well gibber at a wall
>>7909869you have this art block BECAUSE you have given yourself nothing to do but art, so you feel like if you don't do enough art then you're a failure. it's the expectation issue. you need to actually do something productive with your days, take the pressure off>>7917458lmao. this nigga has self-inflicted depression at worst. self diagnosing yourself with the attention span disease in the smartphone age is a joke
>>7917458I got diagnosed with anxiety which can look like ADHD>>7917325lol i might have the motherfucker gene and wondered if I process folates correctly. B complex hasn't really helped me
She is cute.
how would you color this leg?
>>7919266depends. Alpha lock is good for most cases, but clipping masks allow you to easily tweak lighting and mood if you set up your layers correctly for blending modes.
>>7915874First I use the pencil tool to close the open gaps, then I use the bucket to fill in.
>>7915874
>>7919266he literally overpainted and then erased the edges

>>7919676imm gonna post my topster
>>7919862>actually shitting on LE FAB gay L L E Y Y E E N N DDDDECKER please This is the most sane JC LEYENDECKER in the painting game. White streaks ON WHITE? WHEN I saw that, it influenced me both digitally and traditionally. Pic related, the guy leading the nude model oil painting class I was attending for 6 weeks basically compared my style to Leyendecker. I was like holy shit, this is what making it looks like: >Joseph Christian Leyendecker (March 23, 1874 – July 25, 1951) was one of the most prominent and financially successful freelance commercial artists in the United States. He was active between 1895 and 1951 producing drawings and paintings for hundreds of posters, books, advertisements, and magazine covers and stories. He is best known for his 80 covers for Collier's Weekly, 322 covers for The Saturday Evening Post, and advertising illustrations for B. Kuppenheimer men's clothing and Arrow brand shirts and detachable collars. He was one of the few known gay artists working in the early-twentieth century United States.Thats fucking making it to me. I don't know what /ic/'s aspirations are, but to ignore Leyendeckers appeal is your own folly. It's pure saccharine capitalist gay mans delight. It's like the anti-Bouguereau. Both sold out, but damn if they didn't at least succeed in their lifetimes, style be damned.But yes I can see how newbie artists would flood their influences with him, he's easy to see, but to master leyendecker, painting white streaks on white is genius.
>>7919882all that stuck out to me was t rex and dinosaur jr nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ISJmz0dZIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPkc5-2McG0this is all my art so uhh yeah thats kinda the same.FULL R E S : (76.1Mb)https://files.catbox.moe/eu6h89.png
>>7919735>Anyway there isn't one because this isn't a consumer hobby.People who love playing music obviously listen to music, likewise, people who love drawing obviously look at other people's art.Surely inspiration boards are things, no?... Well, that's a rhetorical question, because I know they're a thing, and even seen threads here with people making them.
something i don't see emphasised enough is copying other artists in order to learn and see where you're going wrong in your own work / studies. I see a lot of emphasis on master painting studies, but barely ever in regards to line drawing, character design, stylisation etc.my personal observation of an extremely fast way to improve is:1- copy art that you like2- attempt to create drawings of similar qualities to what you were copying3- look at the difference between the 2 sessions, as well as the reference, and analyse what gaps in your knowledge keep you from matching the quality of the reference4- study to bridge those gaps5-repeat until got gudwhy is this method not thrown around more?
>>7919357>I see a lot of emphasis on master painting studies, but barely ever in regards to line drawingWe haven't been looking in the same places then, I see it emphasized more for line drawing than painting
>>7919357It's not thrown around more because it's only really effective for line drawing and particularly stylization at that.Effective improvement comes with doing blind contours, gesture studies, the Shrimp Method, and the Cognitive Method in that order. You have to train your brain to draw what you actually see, then break down references before drawing from memory, then observing references as you draw.
>>7919796>Shrimp Method,I dunno. No matter how many shrimp I fit up my ass my drawings still stuck
>>7919357Congratulations, you've just found out learning
>>7919357You just described doing a study, Captain Obvious. Literally everyone does that. What the fuck are you on about?Anyway, you want a real thing that isn't emphasized enough, especially for beginners? Grinding ellipses.It's shocking to me how so much beginner material just brushes off ellipses as "just a thing you draw" when constructing other shapes.I think it more than deserves a dedicated exercise. And I'm not a beginner myself but this has always been a big pet peeve of mine.
Dios mio... are digital artists really this bad at traditional art?
>>7915168Akihito is the only good one, literal god
>>7915432This has been my experience as well. Painters adapt quicker to digital than artists who work only with line. Doesn't help that the grip options are so limited either.
>>7915166What did you expect?
>>7915168Manga artists really are just a bunch of nerds.
>>7917301Mentally ill schizoid found a new thread I see, is rumisu sensei still too confusing for you

Trying to do this exercise is filtering me.I think I might be too retarded for constructional drawing and won't even make it to box mannequins.
>>7915712what's the best way to draw that bottom row? I'm struggling with the 2nd one
>>7919543you should draw boxes then rotate the page so it so you can see whether the proportions and perspective seems off and correct it, do this over and over again and it'll feel better and it'll get easier to check the proportions
>>7919543>I can't get the angles to look right whenever I draw itTip about 3 point perspective cubes.If you drew it right, then the 3 lines formed by the 3 sets of corners directly opposite of each other should all intersect in one spot.
>>7919396i don't know actually, i guess if you can draw a box from any angle, then you can draw something inside that box at any angle. the next exercise you draw a bunch of tits inside the boxes
>>7915551Just take his course lol
>>7858222Time to hide another schizo thread.

how many hours of drawabox do i need to draw like this
>>7917800Drawabox was helpful for someone like me who has an "Analytical Brain" I draw pretty competently now utilizing some of it's methods. Without it, I would have spun my wheels and been terrible for a very long time. I do not have any element of "talent" or real "It factor" within me I only have persistence.I find people like me constantly. Folks who suck at drawing, hate that they suck at drawing, hate themselves because they suck at drawing. In fact I feel /ic/ is dominated primarily by people like me. Self loathing hopefuls that want/need the golden answer to improvement. But I realize that there are like three separate states we can fall into.The first are the people who are able to get a eureka moment and begin learning how to use the information they've gained to make all other concepts and future concepts easier. Link A to B and B to C sort of speak. The second group of people are the one who are persistent, but they never really internalized the goal or purpose behind any of the shit they do and it's all just grinding to grind, they never take like the practicing of forms and try to utilize them in their construction practices. (As an example). The third group I'd say are the people who are some what apart of group two along with people who are less persistent than them becoming extremely disillusioned and jumping from practice course to practice course hoping any single one thing will lead to a break through while also not trusting anything.
>>7911247artist?
>>7911247for the OP, just do a shit ton of gesture and life drawing>>7911262pyw crab>>7917832the book is 'anya's ghost' by vera Brosgol
>>7911689This is my current skill level. Im fairly decent at copying life objects too
>>7917817i dont even know what kind of brain i have. all i know is that im slow at learning.
If you don't pretend to be a foid for extra followers and attention then you're literally retarded. Especially if you draw NSFW
>>7917750>tfw been doing it for 5 years now>60k followers on my twitter + well doing patreon and fanbox>tfw the account where I post my art as myself without pretending to be a woman and without posting nsfw only got 100 followers
>>7917845I'll tell you your faulty line of reasoning, as a lady. None of that shit matters if you are at your core, a man. Because women have a compulsion to preserve her reputation among her own sisters, she will drive herself insane trying to meet the unreasonable demands of the mentally ill members of her tribe. When someone accuses a female of being problematic she will bend over backwards to prove herself innocent of such a heinous crime while the accusers have a field day exerting their power. If you show that you really don't care about what they say, the accusers have no material for moral masturbation.
>>7917845>it only takes one backstabbing bitch to turn hordes against a female artist because “you are heckin problematic!!1!1!1! you don’t heckin draw the right porn!!1!1!1!1 it’s too male gaze wtf u hate us wahmen1!1!1!1!1some chick working for a big name comic studio I think Dark Horse posted child porn drawings on her feed and nothing happened. she didn't even lose her job. she also said shit like "kill all men" on a regular basis. nothing happened cause it's brave and powerful when a woman does it. if a man did any of that he'd have gone to jail. the only way you get in trouble as a woman is if you say something against trannies but even TERFs don't get destroyed as hard as men for just existingand you know that, you fucking disingenuous twat
>>7919279Its always some hilariously vague post with you failures. We get it, you've bitter and jealous of woman doing better than you.
>>7917762This is the kind of things that teens / college kids felt like an achievement but as you grow older it's just a nothingburger. Same with me and discord servers. It's just a bunch of autistic college kids and teens hanging out.
I can't be the only one that noticed that it's genuinely fucking over for art on social media>put up all my best work on ~7 different platforms over the course of 2 weeks >all fully finished painted works with unique premises and popular and/or stylish subject matter and names/tags people look up>12 VIEWS total after a month, not likes, 12 VIEWS across 7 platforms and dozens of works The anti-bot algorithms are literally killing everything in the cradle, I hope you built a following before the apocalypse
>>7915755>7 different platformsAnon... sites get jealous of one another and will sabotage your post if you have multiple partners.
>>7918462>I think the past decade has shown that normies do not care about anything but the price point and how much joy they get out of whatever they're buying.Exactly and joy in this case just means a raw dopamine hit that will last 30 seconds before they scroll down to the next slop that grabs their attention. Normies are animals, god fucking damn it. And now they're gonna mix with niggers so it's gonna get even worse. What a godforsaken time to be alive
>>7915755>works with unique premises and popular and/or stylish subject matter..Ok, Ill bite. Could you perhaps post a sample of your work, preferably something that you havent posted or dont plan to post to your existing SM? Also is pic related your work? Thats from yet another thread in the same vein as this so you know, it just makes me wonder.
>>7915755>it's genuinely fucking over for art on social mediagood riddanceslop finally taught everyone that normies deserve nothingI hope for a world where people have hobbies for their own enjoyment instead of being marketing whores who need to monetize every shit they take
>>7916249>>7915755x is a cesspool of constantly mutating algorithmic fuckery. I saw a nip artist complaining about the same thing and coming to the conclusion that X now only shows art to people if it gets a comment/reply very soon after being posted, no idea how much truth there is to that but wouldn't hurt to try it with a friend or sockpuppet acct if you really want the traction.
