The struggle to keep this thread afloat
after getting my irl routine fixed with new position at work, I shall draw after to dinner to try and fix my inability to consistently practice drawing
>>77863505dick guide, nice, though I'm currently struggling with flaccid dicks
>>77866228Got you covered.
Have you ever feel addicted to drawing? Like thinking "i need to draw" over and over
>>77863505goodness gracious drawing dicks its so fucking retarded and sometimes difficult for no reason at all, they end up looking so trashy
Baump
Not much to say, couldn't think of anything interesting and it was getting late.

I need to find some Photoshop brushes for inking with some texture to them. Do you guys have any idea where could i find some free packs?
>>77871437thanks, that'll definitely help
I’m finished the ddrawing
>>77873456Trying a different brush
>>77866890Yes, but with the added feeling of i need to draw it better and faster
Been practicing my lines a bit, is this perspective fine?
>>77878565I just realized it’s a bit off, fml.
Thank you for your help anons.
>>77881399Don’t blame us for that piece of shit.
...and then windows updated without a warning, erasing 2 hours worth of rendering....
>>77867650tell me about it (am well aware the rest of the drawing looks trashy aswell)
>>77882010How big is too big?
>Had to take one day off from drawing due to IRL things and family >Mfw it feels like sixty years went by and feels like I lost even though nothing is happening Am I addicted? I can't draw until tomorrow.
>>77881816Could be worse. Could be the file was saving right as the update started, the machine pulls a BSoD or when power suddenly goes out. That corrupts the whole file, so unless you've got a backup copy that you saved out of paranoia, that's that.
>>77873456>>77877019holey shit

>>77885236I mean... my glans definitely isn't
Some lace with vague flowers. Not my best work by far... I fucking don't get to drawing because I'm still not done with silksong holly fuck.Why did hey make his game so fucking huge? What do you mean I have 95% completion and still main quest stuff ahead of me? I'm going fucking mental the longer I play it. 8/10 though can definitely recommend the game
She’s about to send him back to the last bench>>77886375Same here. I couldn’t draw until I got the true ending.Luckily I’m not obsessed with 100%ing games, so 94% after 50+ hours is good enough for me.nice lace btw
today's piece is d&d inspired. first time experimenting so much in silhouette
>>77881516Who are you and what do you have against him in particular?
>>77889294This reminds me of Garry's mod. The lighting is cool.
Critique on this Wyvern?
Someone colored and rendered one of my drawings, I am incredibly flattered.
>>77891664Which one?
>>77891714>>77634457 This one, Even beyond the fact that someone took the time to work on one of my pieces, I find it really interesting to see how someone else would do at the point where i get the most doubts and have the least experience.
>>77891664>>77891789Someone also colored the Krystal you did not too long ago
>>77890311He was insulting everyone a couple threads ago just for making suggestions
>>77892323Oh man that's great. Honestly i think that's a pretty trash drawing i made, nice to see someone liked it enough to request coloring. Is there any risk to sharing csp files? might make it easier for the requester if they want edits.
I tried to draw a human for once.
>>77892210The fuck? Those really some cute humans girls by you. Do they have some furry boyfriends or only shotas allowed to have one?
>>7787141815 days down, 15 more to go.If it wasn't obvious, this theme was "genderbend" next up is "classic"
>>77890677It depends on what you're trying to achieve.Basic anatomy and line confidence are somewhat mechanical. So study and grind.Personally, I think you'd see much improvement with strong shape language. Try also to keep a reference for the expression you're drawing. I think it's supposed to be angry? But just by that little eyebrow line. I don't quite understand it. In the top left, that thing looks the size of someone's bed.In the larger, it seems it's eating a skyscraper
>>77895598second part meant for>>77878565
>>77894410Nah. Just wanted to try drawing something other than a raccoon girl.
Does blending in dialog count for drawing improvement? Whenever I add text to an image it sticks out like a sore thumb. What's a good way to blend in text so it looks natural?
>>77897669Got an example of what it looks like now?
>>77893929kris deltarune if real
>>77898758I'm just using GIMP's text tool and putting the text on a separate layer above the image.
How do I get more comfortable outlining? I want to do it but I feel lost and don't know where to start.
>>77900906i dont want to be rude but this is the most porn-flashgame looking speech bubble i have seen
>>77895598It's supposed to be a beany-esque growth sequence involving some machine thing.
>>77902449Ha! Well that's what I'm trying to get better at. Any advice?
>>77902449Made me snort You're right
>>77902751>Any advice?have you considered torrenting macromedia flash and making your women have a looping tweened animation where their boobs jiggle hardbut srs time, mayby go ready some comic books/manga, if you want to keep using the bubble for text, and then try to copy the bubble shapes to understand them more
>>77901915Outlining as in what? You are, ironically enough, not outlining what you want very well.Are you talking about the outer contour of the thing you're drawing or is it something else?
What is your metric for success for any particular piece?
>>77904999If it felt good
>>77905252What does that mean? What "feels good?" with a piece you made?
>>77900906The text isn't quite vertically centred on the bubble, which makes it look sloppy. Besides that, you'll want to consider drawing speech bubbles by hand (or at least doing the vector lines yourself rather than just using the default preset) for a more organic look, reducing opacity of the white a little so the background is visible through it, or doing away with speech bubbles entirely and color-coding the text to correspond to the characters instead. Different colors than white for the speech bubble might also be something worth trying.
a little tired of drawing porn
>>77907241salvation is close
>>77907241I only draw porn to understand the human body more since there is no other way, I don't see a purpose of making a profit over it in the long term.
>>77900906just to add my 2 cents building on other anon who posted the duck comic, you may use concavity to group text that’s temporally togetheralso, typesetting is probably an art branch on its own. try to keep even optical spacing around things, reduce number of implied lines that things align to[spoiler]maybe this is a personal thing, but i despise centered text[/spoiler]
>>77905355Its hard to explain. I suppose it's just this vague feeling you get while drawing where you know something goes right in a way I don't have anything else to measure a piece on
>>77907469Understandable. I first started doing it for fun, then when I got noticed I kept doing it to gain followers. Now I realize that it's given me a big boost in my understanding of anatomy, how to render "juicily", and how to work with clients. I wouldn't want to do this for the rest of my life either. Unless it doesn't make me enough money to live comfortably.
>>77907788I've been only drawing for two months and now I am starting to understrand it by drawing porn top kek
Bump
Guys it's page 11
>>77905622>>77903025Thank you for the advice, appreciate it! I have bad eyes, is there any way to center things other than eyeballing it? I've been switching between Krita and GIMP but neither seems to have a function for that.
>>77907696Ah, that's great! That looks way more natural. Nice job there. Did you handwrite the bubble and text? I don't know if I have the manual dexterity for that, but you basically nailed the kind of thing I was trying to do.
>>77912527Buddy if your eyes are too shit to even approximately center text, how are you drawing? Do you have the glasses you clearly need? Are your eyeballs half an inch away from the screen right now?
>>77909548The fleas lusting over Hornet? How naughty
>>77911737No need for concern
>>77863505Needed
>>77894685Kicking off the next theme with Minerva.
>>77866890sorta kinda I guess. I often go very long stretches without drawing anything, but since I have a big worldbuilding project going I'm often thinking about all the stuff I should be doing for it, sketching out species references, making supplemental images, etc.>>77881816Turn on autosaving in your art program. If it's less than a decade old it will have it.>>77883811>the machine pulls a BSoD or when power suddenly goes out. That corrupts the whole file, so unless you've got a backup copy that you saved out of paranoia, that's that.If you're on windows, turn on file history for your art folder and set it to backup to an external drive or a physically separate internal drive every 15 minutes. I literally had that exact situation happen to me but I only lost about 4 minutes of rendering because I'm not an idiot and I don't trust my technology anymore. Plus if you do something dumb like save over a file when you shouldn't have you can just roll it back to the previous version either before or after saving the current one under a new name. I have rescued several merged sketch layers that way. If you're on Linux use timeshift or some other snapshotting program, but back up your shit regularly if you care about it. I think macs do it automatically but I loathe everything apple creates so I don't know for sure.As someone who had a drive blow up without any backups, let me tell you it's UNBELIEVABLY painful to lose a bunch of stuff you care about. Storage is stupid cheap these days, a $50 drive will buy you peace of mind that all of your unforgivable drawings will be safe forever along with vidya saves, personal documents, and anything else you can't afford to lose.

Ignore the Malo poster on the left. How would you critique this drawing from Abed a child from Gaza, Palestine that I bought from Wear The Peace?
>>77912571yeah, it’s a short sentence and not a full comic, so doesn’t take a lot of time>gimp on topmore recent gimps have manual kerning option (the 13 number, adjusts letter spacing), lets you arrange text more tightly, if you want. also, turn off hinting, it makes text slightly softer (hinting more or less rounds coordinates of text curves to better fall into pixel grid)>bottom is inkscapeif you wanna go really deep and can stomach opening up another program as part of workflow, i’d recommend checking it out. you can put text on a curve for really funky shit. here i even made a curve from 4 segments to demonstrate how it flows the text. not to mention drawing bubbles should be more convenient on it
Lost motivation to complete. Any critiques?
>>77925804Ref
>Finally getting the head>Torso still fuckedMan.
>>77924356Bro you have furry porn on your wallHow am I supposed to ignore this?
>>77925804Okay this may sound crazy but draw a middle line on each part. Curve it and give it a roundingDon't just copy the outline but produce 3D shape of her torso arms etc in your head on the paper. Then seemingly connect it all. This is what is going on all of our heads here, this is a learned skill and you need it
I couldn't help myself. It's been too long since I draw her last. She is a epic gamer btw saying gamer words
>>77925804A number of things:Shoulder and hips are at different angles instead of nearly parallel that you have it. Most all poses the angle of the hips and shoulders create lines that will eventually intersect.The mouth is lower and smaller than the ref, a rule of thumb is that at rest generally people's mouths extend to half way between each eye, and that's the case in your ref. The glasses are bigger and she's turned slightly more towards the camera in the ref, tooHer chest is lower and not as full as it is in the ref, and her hips are a bit wider too. When blocking out shapes, it helps to have individual areas for the ribcage, stomach, hips, and thighs instead of one large curve.When compared to the ref, your piece's arms are too long, and the hands too small. Generally you'd want to make the hands about as big as their face.Also try to imagine these building blocks as 3 dimensional shapes. Don't be afraid to actually sketch out the wireframe of them to get a better idea of how things would curve around each other.I would consider studying human anatomy a bit to help wrap your head around how and where things connect, and why they're shaped the way they are.

Its been a long week(so far) but here's some more of these. Something about the crisscrossing legs on the bottom right make me very happy.>>77887396Your forms are lovely but once again the hands are catching my eyes in the best way. I'm really liking these.>>77889294Fucking neat. I like the amount of detail you were able to showcase just with murder bot's lighting and texturing alone. You should definitely attempt some more like this.>>77928529Nonsense, this is cool as fuck and I quite enjoy the whimsical expressiveness of it. I find the toony style to be very appealing.
>Draw for 2-3 hours a day>Want to draw more but fear burnout Should I stay on this path? I think if I go more I'll get bad burnouts.
>>77937181My experience it's a weird situation. I get burnt out because after a really good mood of drawing, like drawing for 24 hours type of drawing and producing like 3 drawings per day. When I STOP feeling like that I always get depressed and angry at myself that I can't draw 3 pictures a day anymore.
I'm applying to university in an art field. In my application portfolio, is it a good or bad idea to add my funny animal drawings in it?
I wanna start posting my work online but i feel like im still shit and not ready (allowed) to.
>>77937577It's not a matter of whether or not you art sucks, it's about how much information you share about your personal life internet safety 101 stuff.>>77927224I live with my parents. They don't care. And even if they did care they don't know what to say so they just allow it.
Looking back at the stuff I've done in the past 2 days or so. Damn i draw alot. Proud of that.
>>77881816always update right before renderingsor just use linux, kek
Been about a week since I last drew something because of friends wedding stuff. just something to get me back in the saddle, needed to draw big boobs again.
>>>/co/150419978>>>/co/150419978>>>/co/150419978Just dropping by advertising this thread here.
>>77918121One of the good and bad things about this challenge, is that I kind of have to let go of mistakes and just finish. Otherwise I'd be working on each drawing for around a week.
I did more crappy doodles igI still don't know how to draw bodies at allhttps://litter.catbox.moe/qbycee.pnghttps://litter.catbox.moe/a2tfe7.png
>>77937577Honestly I spent about a year hemming and hawing about sharing art online and in hindsight I wish I had posted stuff earlier. As long as you can find approved posts on e621 that are worse than your own art (this isn't very hard if you've been drawing for more than 6 months) you're good to go.>>77937743>it's about how much information you share about your personal life internet safety 101 stuff.don't share anything. People who treat their furry porn accounts like their personal facebook page confuse and terrify me, plus they create a truly massive attack surface that nobody needs in their lives.>I live with my parents. They don't care. And even if they did care they don't know what to say so they just allow it.Personally my parents could not have tortured any of that information out of me when I was still living under their roof but hey, live and let live I guess.
Draw
>>77937427>I'm applying to university in an art field.Probably a bad idea unless you've got a scholarship that covers the tuition fees and you don't need to take out a student loan for it. Art degrees are notorious for being completely useless (often less than useless, since many employers actively avoid people with them for fear of accidentally hiring a drama queen headcase that's one bad day away from a messy lawsuit) on the job market. Besides, most of the shit they'll teach you that's actually relevant to making art, you can learn on your own with less ancillary bullshit coursework to slog through thanks to the wide availability of online resources. Same holds true for most other subjects now, really, provided you've got the discipline for autodidactism. The university as we know it is rapidly becoming an outmoded and obsolete institution.>In my application portfolio, is it a good or bad idea to add my funny animal drawings in it?Probably not too much of a demerit, provided you don't put explicit porn in there, but that should go without saying. If you want to be extra sure, stay away from skimpy outfits and suggestive poses/expressions, too. In Europe you probably could get away with a lot more risque material, but the anglosphere isn't saddled with a reputation for unreasonable prudishness for nothing.

Sitting here thinking about the cool stuff I'd draw if I had the skills to make it happen instead of actually trying
>>77962086>Blog?@feshpwince.bsky.socialDidn't think it was that unrecognizable to my other pieces.
Forgot to color the stripe on the nose, I actually kind of like it this way.
>>77958864Been a while since we last saw your work, welcome back.You still need to grind the fundamentals a lot more, unfortunately. The broad strokes of the figure are roughly where they should be, but the proportions are haphazard. One leg's significantly thicker than the other, the wing-arms are very thin in comparison to the whole figure and the head's a bit small. The wings don't look much like wings either, but wings aren't the easiest subject to draw so I'll cut you some slack there.
>>77967269I like your loona!
>>77863505RE: RenderingDo you just grind lineart until you're god tier and then spend like a day watching other people paint/render or do you slowly work on both simultaneously?
I've decided to take my art more seriously again after watching that cool new glitch show.I don't know what I'm expecting out of this. I suppose my dream is to make a little webcomic that gets its own tiny fandom, and be happy with that. That sounds like a dream.

>>77980287White knuckle, it's a (stay with me here) speed climbing horror game responsible for taking away lots of my drawing time. It is v good and you should play the free demo. It also has cute bugs that you can befriend and collect and take with you and never harm for any reason whatsoever
Thoughts?
>>77983838I believe it! (i think it implies a bit of a serious commitment too though, 3 years is not that long, and art probably has to be your main _thing_ for you to get to Aruurara's level? (at least some practice every day, and at least an hour probably) /shrug
>>77983838I used to think it was less true, but nah, it's 100% true. At the very least copying from references for 3 years will get you way way further than a solid 60% of the anons on /ic/ who spend 20 hours a week looking for learning materials and 45 minutes actually learning.

>>77985140Good job, anon!
>>77983838I've never really copied one to one, just looked at pages from resources and tried to draw my own from that. I don't know if this has helped me or not, but copying from sight makes me want to kill myself.

Does anyone know some good warm up techniques? I need to sharpen my mind after taking a day off.
>>77983838More or less, though I'd argue it's best to take a crack at altering reference material slightly when you get to drawing to better suit stuff you want to draw and to get better at visualizing how certain things are meant to be posed.
im trying to get better at drawing animistic heads, shes intended to be a serval but I dont think its really reading as "serval"
Hello, posting here since I just want to get a "feel" for if this looks alright. It's the tail for me, that I want to know if it looks okay-ish. Supposed to be a canine. I have no place else to go for advice/feedback.
>>77983838Too true, I have so many images of porn saved on my PC that I can trace and recreate whilst learning about the fundamentals. And yet, I don't plan on becoming a porn artist; porn artists do the job for me and give me what I want to learn. In return, I MAKE anthro characters they can make a profit from. It's just as simple as that.
Ugh, been 2 weeks since I last drew. Time to get back to it againAlso, what are people thoughts on using vector line tools, like Continous Curve or Bezier Curve? I've been relying on them a lot less lately, trying to draw as much lines by hand, but god damn do I have to redraw lines so much more often in order to get them the right thickness, right shape, or not as squiggly.
