I don't understand how can someone have such clean lines using graphite. Everytime I draw my lines end up chunky as hell, is it the pencil? Graphite size? I don't get it
there's no point comparing yourself to seasoned pros that have been drawing amazing since they started and made money and fame off their art with MOTIVATES and INSPIRES them to be creative and plus ultra. Drawing as a /beg/ with a tablet for no reward while you fight off thoughts of suicide is not even in the same ballpark as what pros do. Of course your lines are going to be worse.

Would you say the Artist 22r is a good drawing "tablet" it seems to have a lot of good features for an insanely low price there has to be a catch no?
>>7170309no, we already argue about this many times, is the same as cellphones. In phones yes there are shitty models really cheap, all can make calls and do the core part, but in the middle range we already reach a point were all the devices are of the same quality, and the differences are just in the competitive part were brands give or sacrifice some aspects to add to anothers, then you have high tier devices were all of them are the same but they have some, particular, extra, that is not relevant to the core demand, and make a difference, really specialized products or just a bun of extras to pretend.With drawing tablets is the same but you have just one key core aspect and nothing more, the drawing part, and that's it. We already reached a point were all the devices work good to draw like, since a few years ago, more than a few. My particular opinion... from like, since 2018 more or less, any device after that of the big brands are good, any, I'm not even talking about the drawing part but all the aspects of the devices, because if you talk about just drawing well.... you can draw perfectly with zero problems with devices from like 2014 or even further back in time. The bamboo wacom is from the 2009-10 and works perfectly. With screen devices, yeah, anything starting around 2018 is good, from apple, wacom, huion, xp-pen, xencelabs, samsung. Of course you can't say the same from some cheap rebrand products or the ones that are specially, specially made to be cheap and short live, like i dont know... ugee, or parblo, even those are functional, you know... the cell phone analogy.
>>7170309Have a 24r. Screen is somewhat dimmer with the pre-applied screen protector, colors are good but imperfect.These non-laminated screens have some deep parallax, setting up calibration helps significantly but it limits you to be the same seated position every time when drawing with the same screen tilt. Not too much of a problem for me since I set it up in a way that encourages good posture. But it is something to keep in mind.Tilt pressure goes wonky transitioning around the horizontal, as shown in that one video in the drawing screen thread. Got a couple dead pixels but not too distracting. Calibration is weird around the extreme edges of the screen, but I don't find i typically draw there. Calibration is also strange around the left half's upper middle. Not too bad, but noticeable.If these are the things you can accept, go for it. But if you're looking for a perfect device, save up for a better brand.
The Russian academic approach is that you learn to constructively understand things so well that your imagination drawings can be anything you want effortlessly, right?Makes sense, but proko was trained in the academic style and his imagination drawings suck? He seems to need a model or reference to draw the simplest things

Is there an art course or book that shows how to shade like the GOATS but in digital? When I use fountain pens and map pens on paper, it's not hard. When I try to do it in digital I don't know what the fuck to do to get same results. In fact, mangaka who do digital art have dogshit shading.
>>7167621Just ink it in CSP with the g-pen.>>7169994https://youtu.be/tgDxzUNWgec?si=oabcLZ2gwIWJY-fC&t=1270Trad....Soul....
>>7167621Use screen tones and layer them to achieve variations in value. You can buy these from any Online art supply shop that sells japanese stationary although they are going to be expensive since most Manga artists just use digital tools for the same purpose. Clip Studio is the stardard for this as it comes prepackaged with an extremely large library of templates.
>>7170069>just like toriyamaCounterpoint
>>7170069>toriyama is shit at storytelling...in the opposite dimension.
>>7167621this entire thread is retarded. its called rendering not shading. older mangaka used ink and zippatone/toner packs for everything. modern shitters use clip studio and blender and similar programs for it. some do mix of trad and digital. for soem artists theyll render with copic for grey tones or if doing color pages. others bust out gouache or water color. the issue with modern digital versions is they arent even inking the hatching or other lines. its all with digital brushes so you get the same look and generic linework with no variations. across so many no talent 3d tracers, it blends together and gives the modern shit look to all manga. the lack of imperfections in the linework and hatching is the major imperfection of modern manga. it also leads to the faux amateur look gege and chainsaw guy do. they are blatant 3d models and objects for everything but the chicken scratch lines and shit looking art let people forgive it somehow. like they believe its just bad artist and not deliberate shitter.

>>7165689I totally wasn't expecting the subject matter of this one. Ironically, I think that a dragon being used as a mount would have taken me by surprise a little less. I really like the flowy manner in which you drew the hair of your characters: the somewhat whirly arrangements of their strands blowing in the breeze are quite pleasant, and they subtly but effectively communicate a welcomed hint of vitality in an otherwise dormant scenery.Also worthy of note is the level of three-dimensionality achieved through the painstaking amount of detail involved in your construction method, a most-desirable trait that has come to be expected from your work.On the subject of the main feature of this piece, that's quite a girthy sauropod... perhaps just a bit too girthy.I'm no paleontologist, and I hardly ever attempt to draw animals, so I'm mostly going by my memories of conventional depictions of dinosaurs and dragons, but I get the impression that your sauropod's torso might have come out a little too corpulent in relation to its legs.https://svpow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/puertasaurus-sandow-4big.jpgOf course, one can only make educated guesses regarding the complexions of these long-extinct creatures, but, judging by the following article, the bodies of sauropods in particular might have been akin to those of imaginary hybrids with elephant-like torsos and elongated, hippo-like legs:Comment too long.

>>7163298https://files.catbox.moe/4x302l.PNGprogress>>7164818thank you for your insight as always. made some adjustments but honestly I don't know if they helped lol. the eyes still feel off to me
>>7169678>made some adjustments but honestly I don't know if they helpedThey definitely did, in my opinion. I can notice that you chose to raise the outer end of the foreground set of lashes instead of lowering that of the furthermost one, and I think I can guess why: you didn't want to sacrifice Alessio's original foxy expression by de-emphasizing the curving of his eyes, and, by extension, the upwards push of his smiling cheeks. In any case, the gist of my recommendation was to double-check the symmetry of both sets of lower eyelashes, a piece of advice that you followed rigorously and to good effect.Just make sure to raise slightly both the crease of the furthermost upper eyelid and its corresponding eyebrow. By adding a few extra pixels of vertical width to the area in question, specifically until the levels pertaining to said features are in parallel alignment with those of the eyelashes and the mouth, Alessio's facial balance would be technically irreproachable.Regarding your discomfort with Alessio's eyes, my best supposition is that it might have something to do with the current amount of distance between them: provided that you intend to follow the proportion guideline of "the width of an eye" as the degree of separation, the distance between a character's eyes in a 3/4 view should encompass, at the very least, the foreshortened width of the furthermost one. In other words, unless your stylistic choice is to depart from said guideline, the eye furthest from the viewer in this portrait of Alessio is a bit too wide to accurately convey the general perspective of his face. My suggestion is that you attempt to narrow down slightly the width of the eye in question by "squishing" it, just until the distance between both eyes is broad enough to contain the furthermost one.Apart from that, I would suggest that you accentuate the presence of Alessio's testicles, given that their current size is a bit too understated, even for a prepubescent boy.
Post facial expressions.

please help me anons, I am SUFFERING as I am trying to make my comic.My problem are the panels. My comic depends on very autistically spaced Alan Moore style panels. It's all divided very rididly with no stylistic element leaving the panel (pic rel). I cannot for the life of me get clip studio to do that. Tried reading through the documentation - nothing, tutorials are focused on more "manga", wacky styled comics. I am willing to learn any digital tool. How do I make autistically spaced Alan Moore panels?
>>7169878Dave Gibbons, literally the artist from the watchmen, has made videos about how to do paneling using clip studio paint.Here's one of his webinars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIT42n84dIEI don't know if he does paneling in that one.
>>7169890Why is Allen Moore getting all the praise?Dave Gibbons is the man with the vision, craft, and talent.
>>7169921Moore wrote and created it and probably drew the storyboard
>>7169878damn the coloring is great in those Watchman pages. coloring in most contemporary US comics is so dogshit.
>>7169921Dave Gibbons got/gets a shitload of praise for Watchmen, dude. They're both highly lauded for the project because both of them brought their A-game and made something really memorable and compelling. And John Higgins did the colors, by the way, so don't go ranting about misplaced praise.>>7169931He wrote the script. A famously detailed and meticulous script.

>>7170502I didn't argue against that, you study construction until it becomes very intuitive, then you're not spending so much time doing so much construction. In the same vain as learning anatomy, you learn it to know what to leave out. I feel knowing what to NOT show is almost as important as what to show.
>>7170542>I didn't put in the time to earn the right to complain.No, that's not the point I was trying to make. You absolutely have a right to complain, or rather, to vent. Art is a hard process that can feel very difficult, and often hopeless, but it never is if you're willing to put in the work, and you're going to have to put in a LOT of work. The more cognizant you can be of the lows, the better you can weather them and aim for the highs.Learning to deal with frustration and anger in a healthy manner (because those are all things we feel, and shouldn't feel bad for feeling) is just as important a skill to learn as drawing itself, and it, too, takes a lifetime of learning.Just be easy on yourselves, anons.
>>7170552Art, especially drawing, is a selfish act. We're trying to either earn reputation, a living, or likes from randomers on a social media platform. With any skill there comes lows and disappointments. A lot of the information is esoteric and very cryptic. However there are things surrounding the abstract that can be taught pretty straightforward (Anatomy, perspective)Even still there are no guarantees for success, there is more to art then just skill and tying your personality or happiness to your ability to do art is not a good mindset. This advice goes for everyone doing art esp INT. Make art for yourself, express yourself with the skills you possess right now. Enjoy the act and joy of being able to create. The dopamine you receive will make you naturally more curious, more receptive and certainly better over time.
