Hi /ic/ I'm a newcomer but a fren recommended me this board.I released a pilot animation with some buddies about my oc Bobina and I'd like to see if anyone here would like to have fun and shitpost with us.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnF15bKCDlgIf you'd like to join the tg for onboarding, join here: @esforest
i have a few things i've been struggling to understand, and i'd really like to hear your point of view on them.how are you supposed to draw without a constructive approach?for example, in this frame:"https://youtu.be/cZGhrwpk-p4?t=9"you can see that the artist doesn't seem to draw a single construction/contour line before starting to define the figure.i personally use construction and contour lines quite a lot to figure out the volume of a form in 3D space, its orientation, placement, and the relationship between different parts. so when i see someone start drawing directly like this, i honestly don't understand what information they are using to decide where the lines should go.from experimenting with this myself, i've started wondering whether some artists simply don't use volume as the primary foundation of the drawing. perhaps they use shape/silhouette as the primary foundation instead, with volume being something secondary, implicit, or even something they don't consciously think about.i'm not sure i'm explaining this very well, so i'll try to illustrate what i mean with the image i'll attach.Comment too long.

>>8011771>you know exactly when and what mistakes are made when drawingBros... what if I don't?
>>8011771Gonna be completely fair with he kid, there are guys with 10 plus years of experience that still draw starting with eyes and then the contour of the face.>but i have le eyeball experienceYeah form being shit at drawing, kid's on his way of repeating the same shit drawing for 10+ years too
>>8011885It's completely real. I saved the PDF for a good read every now and then, whenever I'm feeling in the need of a pick-me-up in regards to my artistic capabilities. That's just from page 26 out of 114, and it only gets worse from there.>>8011919:(>>8011921There are tons of people like him on reddit making art progress posts. His art is not that different from them.
>>8011921>>8011921>Gonna be completely fair with he kid, there are guys with 10 plus years of experience that still draw starting with eyes and then the contour of the face.So you going to pyw and show us how a face is made then?
>>8009608Just so you know, you're not supposed to delve too deeply into constructive drawing until you've mastered observational drawing.
>>8012781People here are too busy bitching about zoomers to draw or post their work. Just a bunch of old men yelling at clouds.
>>8012781the older gens had it easier and could laugh with eachother. new gens are in constant competition and if you dont take yourself seriously 100% of the time and project some form of success, you are automatically a "lolcow." as a zoomer everyone i meet is dull and mean, even old people.

>>8012758I refuse to believe this is real...
>>8013335the best part is that most of his other work is kinda stiff and boring compared to this fetish stuff
how this mutha doing this? like 10 trillion individual strokes? what brushes?
>how this mutha doing this? anime girl in a tight and pointed black suit, 1girl, best quality, masterpiece, painterly style, brush texture, good anatomy
oh shit i hate everything. hope an asteroid the size of the sun vaporizes this world.
Can western comics be saved?
>>8013246holy absolute cope
>>8013246At least 80% of those Shonen Jump sales is because of One Piece, the other manga don't sell much. (You) didn't even include the rest of DC Comics sales in 2025, just the Absolute line, and it still mogs manga.
>>8013246Absolute DC Comics are capeshit for weebs, that's why it sells so much. Absolute Wonder Woman looks like a Berserk rip-off with that huge sword.
>>8013286can we see the manga influence INSIDE the comic? Yeah thought not.Covers are worthless.

>>8013295I've been treated so graciously by some of these people, even as I suffered my psychotic episodes in a shack. I couldn't give them anything but my know-how in return. Out here so many of the theoreticals can be explored that I might as well have crashlanded in heaven and I now train a subset of the "neighborhood watch". This past year has been the most enjoyable of my life. I legitimately enjoy sering people grow.You have a lot of fight in you and I would relish the opportunity because it is rare inthese communities.
I cant fucking breathe. Keep having to fuckign gasp for air the fucking smoke n shit likeI got pneumonia a couple years ago and it knocked me out for a few days and itscthe same fucking shit like gurgling sensation on inhailation and coughing out a lot of shit fuck my life
>>8013295I CANT WAIT TO GET KICKED OUT OF DADCON 2026!!!!
>>8013307I didn't know how spoiled I was with Niche, Uber, and Jozu. I wish I can someday tussle with any one of them, it'd make my life.
>>8013299Sure thing little bro, I have actually co hosted a panel on something before. Won't doxx myself, but it was on my favourite subject.>>8013304Maybe I will, alright anon. SIIGH.>>8013307I love fighting! I think about crushing skinny men into paste. Glad you're finding gratification in what you're doing brother.>>8013320That is fucked, do you have air conditioning? I'd try and keep fucking everything closed airtight and have that aircon on if you do.>>8013321Print that on a tshirt, XL, and drop it to me via helicopter, on the double!I'm going to sleep. Have fun boys and girls. Urgh..
You only need TWO (2) cheap booklets (that you can just pirate) to make a TON (∞) of money from your art
>>8013252yes, twice
>>8011499both filtered me
>>8011499Link?
>>8013317This board has an art book thread
>>8011499this is a dark path for dark wizards that i do not wish to go down. it is in my blood to be a powerful BBW sorcerer. i have spent more hours jerking it to deviantart than many here have been alive.
Taking a break? Drink some water, do some stretches, share some thoughts.Just keep them art related.Previous: >>7990943
How effective is "I aged the characters up" when drawing nsfw? I want to avoid the SHES 17!!! crowd
>>8013205people draw 16 year old anime girls all the timejust dont reference the age or have the "all characters are +18" as part of the watermark like others do
>>8013205I've seen the artist either just state her age (18 or 24) and she looks the exact same, or they make her slightly "older" by making her a bit taller and giving her a larger breast size.You could make her look like an adult but I don't really think you're gonna please anyone that would usually complain about underage characters, and of course those who want to see Marnie will be disappointed that they didn't get an actual depiction of petite Marnie

can't draw anything i want no longer having fun but i don't want to quit

>>8012745>hurrrrdurrrrrhttps://youtu.be/gDUfe4QfnGcPlease stop shitting up this thread with your gay questions. You're that german 'postmodernist' fag who keeps ruining trad threads.
>>8012873At 32:45 he tries to use a dip nib for drawing, he struggles all the time, the nib is skipping. The only way to get proper lines is by moving straight down.Everything esli is done with fountain pens, which are not suited for manga. With the other dip nib he is only making splashes cos it bites the paper all the time.You posted a video that proofs my point.You showed time after time, that you are not on the same level, to discuss art and art materials with me. You try to compensate your lack of knowledge with aggression, but we are not in your favela, it fails.So fuck off and let the adults talk about stuff.
>>8012548thanks!!
>artstation has been bought
>>8012435>artstation has been boughtWasn't it already owned by Epic, or EA Games, or some such before?But it's fine, art station was an oddly uncreative dull husk of a site.
>>8012570anon, you got to understand. For fags like anon, it's like the "6-7" for the "people" here.
>>8012912yeah and it was widely respected and had actually had marketable value, until the retarded shilling.
>>8012435can we just fast forward to the part where the datamine everything on artstation already including our private shit and confidential stuff behind passwords then up the prices and introduce ai features until it's an entirely ai platform I can't use anymore
>>8013323It's already that isn't it, you see so much ai on it even when paid filters are on
ITT pencils only you like
>>8009680wtf hand SMEGMA??
>>7858006>>7869872I thought these turned to shit recently?
>>8010704I politely disagree. Ignoring the specific hardness of each pencil, it seems to me each book is suggesting a range, allowing you to experience the various grades.The hardness between brands is different anyway - the HB of one can be B of another.It also may depend on what kind of books you're talking about. A book about technical drawing will suggest harder pencils, while fina art drawing may suggest much softer pencils.
>>8006019I sharpened pencils like that, but not absurdly long like those, I feel that's risking breaking huge bits of led. The point (pun intended) is wider stroke range. Hold it upright and draw with the point, gives you nice and crisp, sharp lines. Lay it flat on its side, and you get wide lead coverage - great for shading/blocking stuff. Longer point is more lead exposed, covers much more of each surface with each stroke. Also, for some reason, it feels more convenient and dynamic using pencils with long, sharp points. Something about them feels agile.

>>8013026hes gone, committed suicide actually
post, rate, get rated
>>8013264>Nobody is "too stupid" to learn the fundamentals.
>>8013282i'll try to learn form. i could probably get some mileage out of improving the mannequin stage of my construction and making sure it looks plausible and 3d.
>>8013272Low beg, like someone who just started drawing a few months ago.
>>8013298that's pretty accurate. the sum total of time i have spent actively trying to improve is at most a few months. i have taken one college art class that taught some kind of drawing on the right side of the brain curriculum but it was 15 years ago now. i probably don't have the neuroplasticity anymore to get good at anything but i still try.
actually, i shouldn't knock people in their 30's trying to learn art because my mom didn't learn to paint until she was like 35 and she got to like high beg level in no time at all without any digital crutches. i probably inherited at least a fraction of her power. i think it was basically raw talent that carried her. same with my sister. i don't think they ever really studied fundies.
