>>7155982Nice work anon
>>7155987>40 mins to an hourthen I would advise you to have some more patience and do studies where you afford yourself more time, at least a couple of hours. I am confident that a lot of artists feel like they are bad at this or that because they lack the skill, when in reality much of their problem is that they try to do too much with too little time. you don't have to do this with every rendering study - and perhaps you don't have the time - but try giving yourself more time and see how you fair. of course it's not just time, you need the right tools and proper concentration, but an extra hour or more can really make or break a work.
>>7155997i see. thank you anon.
R8 this design before I ink and finish it.

I'm going to be honest. I care DEEPLY about social media engagement when it comes to my art. As far as I'm concerned, if my work doesn't get enough likes, it's bad art.Yes, I draw for cloutYes, I draw for followersYes, I draw for approval and validationWhy the fuck else would I even bother posting anything online?
>>7155922I don't need to cope. you cope.
The only metric I care about is the kind of booru my shit ends up in.Any rando can drop a like when scrolling but if you end up on the kind of booru that isn't so full of weebs they'll ban whitey's art on sight it means>one guy liked your art enough to take five minutes to look for a higher quality version, get off Twitter/IG, log in to his virtual gooncave and post it there>or at least write your handle in his bot's list>their jannies thought it was good enough to stay up>I don't know how many reports it takes to get pics removed from those places but fewer than this many people thought your art was so shit it had no place on their virtual holy altar of japanese pornographic cartoons
>>7155343>if my work doesn't get enough likes, it's bad art.Plenty of pro tier artworks getting less than 10 likes on Instagram and we all know that the algorithm is pay to win. >Either you pay for ads or you're buried.
>>7155343keep in mind that people are stupid and popular things are generally stupid
>>7155915>I care NOTHING about social media engagement when it comes to my art. As far as I'm concerned, if my work gets enough likes, it's bad art. slop for the masses>Yes, I draw for meditation>Yes, I draw for growth>Yes, I draw for funThis is the real issue, not taking it seriously enuff

Hello fellow coomers.How do you usually come up with a good lewd outfit for your characters? Especially when it needs t be semi-believable and still leaving pussy/ass/tits in the open.
>>7155551can't go wrong with a skirt and vest ;)
>>7154902You do you. Though personally I think you have gone the same way Tradd Moore did - his latest works are so stylized they don't read as a comic book but more like some kind of fresco. And while I can appreciate the skill needed to do them I think that's a mistake as you kinda lose the flow of the story due to it. You have a similar problem with your figures barely reading as people. And combining that with nudity? Seems kinda self defeating.
I love drawing porn for niche indie games

>>7155196so?
how do you grind composition?
>>7153952It's still something I'm trying to figure out myself, but I think it has more to do with the way you mentally/emotionally approach drawing in that moment. When I'm feeling frustrated, when I'm in the mindset that if I just push harder trying to make my drawing better, that's when my drawings turn out stiff, overworked, and I don't learn too much. But when I find that sweet spot, something clicks and I feel like I'm drawing from the heart, like my pencil is skating on ice of its own will. Drawing is fun again! I'm surprised that I could make something so good. My drawing uses shapes I don't normally use. Maybe it's about letting go of internal judgement and the expectation of making something perfect. Save the judgement for afterwards. Drawing from unrestrained feeling, not mechanical rules.

Congratulations, you've turned this into a pawell thread.
>>7155777hey now, i had to teach myself how to touch type and i'm 38. i'm sure they teach it in schools these days, you must have forgot it aparently, but i never got that education. you have to know the right hand position and practice on sites like typeracer.
>>7155986Wow I thought I was the oldest active dad. I know j's in his 40s, but he's intermittent to say the least
Is there a way to do art trade with dads without discord?
There's a dedicated DAD thread for slop traders.
No /TRAD/ general? Aight, this will be the trad general. Post your recent trad artworks/WIPs in this thread.I will begin. Will really appreciate critiques.
>>7155610>What is an oil base?It's a coat of paint containing oil. Modern versions often rely on alkyds, but you still have some lead-based.You can actually spread a thin layer of oil over the base or before starting any layer: that's called oiling out, and has benefits. It won't necessarily break the fat over lean rule.Anon, if you want to do oil, start painting, don't worry too much. If you want to get technical details, experiment, and grab a book or two. It's a complex topic, you're bound to have many questions.
>>7155875Interesting, I didn't know you could oil out at the start, I'll have to mess around with that someday. Appreciate the explanation anon. And yeah I'm not worrying about the rules too much (not like anything I paint is gonna be worth preserving) but it's nice to learn stuff.
>>7155918Yes you can, it'll help the paint flow a little more, and help with the swiping. If you're painting alla prima, there's absolutely no worry. Otherwise, you just have to make sure the next layer has more oil / slower drying pigments.
>>7130426>>7142763>>7126199>>7127379bumping for updates
>>7155455Can you name a painter that uses or recommends acrylic primed surfaces with oil? I don't see any advantages. >>7155610As the other anon said, oil grounds are less absorbent than acrylic. Your initial washes will sink in much less on oil. If you're going to use oils a lot you should buy some oil primed panels or cover one you already have with oil primer just to see the difference. It's very noticable.

I have a 27" 16:9 monitor but my drawing tablet is a Wacom Intuos Draw (it's the same size as Intuos small), should I wait till I can buy a bigger tablet or can I use this one?
>>7154754>Wacom Intuos Pro L>311 x 216 mm active area>~1.44>16:10>1.6No it doesn't.
>>7155958Drawing is better than not drawing, but once you can afford a bigger tablet, get one. Yours is microscopic, and the bigger the size difference to your monitor, the harder it is to use.
>>7155969atm I'm drawing traditionally, I'm practicing fundies and doing loomis.Should I keep drawing on paper until I can buy bigger tablet?
>>7156005Just keep drawing on paper then. You're putting off the adjustment period of drawing on a tablet for later, but the exchange is worth it if you can draw more comfortably right now.
Digital art is ugly slop. At best it looks like concept art for a video game and usually it just drips with a stale soullessness that makes it repellant to all normal minded people.I would not feel proud of showing any digital ""painting"" to friends or family. I would feel slightly embarrassed by it. I would show friends and family significantly lower skill traditional paintings.There is something inherently disgusting about the idea of a man slouched in front of a computer or tablet and manipulating pixels on a screen when compared to working with real pigments, real materials, etc. All digital art feels like it was made by an autistic person.
>>7155774LEDs exist in reality. They sting my eyes when they are too bright. agreed on the complexity thing, the lack of options for styluses is sad. I don't feel that much different when I draw digitally or draw with a pen. many digital drawings have more soul than many traditional drawings.
the only good digital art comes from artists who spent 10 years working traditional and then switched over. Even then a lot of the spontaneity is lost. Everyone who starts out digital develops the same rendering techniques and its always slop.
cant wait for the digital "artist" cope in this thread
>>7155884lol cope? even digital artists know their craft is dead. what options will be for them in the future other than prompting with AI and fixing or tracing over it. a lot of them will refuse to do it but the next future of "digital artists" will certainly use AI instead of wasting time learning art. digital art was already cheap enough but it's been infinitely cheapened more so now

>>7155494Thanks, anon!!! I was working off a ref, but it’s tricky to shade markers (but maybe this is a wakeup call for me to do more dedicated studies again). Also the artist was Naoko Takeuchi… nabbed her latest art book and really enjoyed how she threw beads and glitter on her work while making it look good!!!

>>7155213Every single one?
>>7155116I know this might be a foreign concept to you since you're attention starved, but having thousands of eyeballs on your work can be very embarrassing some times
>>7155116Japan has a society based on shame.R-18 artists deleting their work from time to time can be cause by them being ashamed of their current art or because they (mistakenly) blamed drawing porn as the source of all the bad things in their lives (instead of the ACTUAL reasons, e.g. being lazy outside of drawing, being too shy or a pushover to socialize, etc).It's no different from anyone of us deleting our porn and game folders in a moment of depression.
>>7155116in this case its because image scrappers are using the boorus

Do you find being hypercritical of your work useful in improving? Or is it a useless trait that should be phased out
>>7148718That sort of mentality has its place when studying, but you're going to demoralize yourself if do it for every single drawing.
I dont crit myself because nothing I draw can be good, it just goes against the laws of physics. I aim for "good enough".
I hate everything I make and I hate seeing art so much. It's like a knife in my heart. I dont understand how to study or improve. I work at a fucking glacial pace. Any improvement I make is hard earned over years. I don't understand how everyone seemingly becomes a master in 2-3 years. I hope someday I'll feel less intensely towards familial obligations so that I may escape this torture with the only inheritence to my name (a Ruger P90 .45)
>>7148718Just wanted to say, those are some nice breasts you did.
I think hypercritical by definition is an excess of critique that hurts more than helps. There's no scale of how critical is too critical, but if you've gone from considering it being hypercritical rather than just critical than you should probably take a reel it in a bit.
