I've been having shoulder/neck/back pains and it's interfering with how much I can draw. Are there exercises or stretches that can help?If there's a posture suggestion guide somewhere, that'd be great too.
>>3151708too much blurring, blurring is generally bad because sharper shadows look better in the grand scheme of the picture, also need to render better, shadows don't seem to even exist in this; I recommend the book Color and Light for the basics, it's indispensable. When you finish inhaling it you should try another run at this same picture and see how much it changes.
>>3151784exercise, even if it's just a short walk every day>>3148346thanks anon.
Am I underselling my cintiq for ~600USD? The value elsewhere seems to be around $800 to $1200 from other sellers. It's a dtk-2100.
>>3151926Thanks Anon, I'll take what you said into account as it seems to be very true. Do you mean the book by James Gurney?
Hey /ic. I've been drawing black and white lineart for a number of years now and I want to start using some colour but I don't know what style of colouring to practice. It seems like every artist nowadays is a digital painter but it just doesn't hold my interest at all. I mean, I like the way it looks but every time I try to delve into it I just find the whole rendering process tedious. Are there other options or is cg painting the way of the future?
Digital is fine - I use photoshop for the linework and haven't touched real pencils in years. I think it's more the actual painting aspect that bores me. Picture attached as example of what I'm talking about. Anyone have any examples of different colouring styles that aren't this?
Literally any anime meme visual novel character art.Pretend watercolour or pretend acrylic pick your poison.
>>3151949there are other options, if your art looks like what you posted. unless you want le concept art jerb, digital painting is a prerequisite for that

>>3152124Yeah, the painting is what i'm trying to get better at, I've been mostly sketching until now. do you have any advice? I'm mostly having trouble with basics like figuring out a layer structure and whether I should use layer modes for shading and lighting (I probably will, since my favourite professional artists do). I will do some paint studies tomorrow.
>>3152137>And sorry about your ass.I should eat more fiberand portraits, still lifes, and landscapes are kind of it for me. I usually do still lifes, to prepare for portraits and landscapes. They're a good testing ground for my patience and new techniques.
>>3152145the drawing is pretty dynamic but the painting is about as far from dynamic as you can get.
>>3152139look buddy, if you're just gonna draw garbage still lives of shitty pottery and veggies, at least put the effort into it with beautiful strokes and better set ups. this legit looks like the work highschool kids would do
>>3152192>better set upslike what?

Anyone have Iain McCaigs shadowline book? I can't find it anywhere online and it costs 70 fucking bucks. Pls help an anon out.
Guys I need some help, I'm currently bookshoping on amazon and I need some good advice on fantasy art books, the awe inspiring, always close to your bedstand kind.I already got the mtg zendikar book on my cart, it has some breathaking landscapes paintings and beautifully rendered ethereal creatures from the game.Also the angelarium tarot deck because even though it is not an art book and I'm not planning to use them for divination I love the beautiful surrealistic interpretation of angels that peter mohrbaches has made.In short I'm looking for the best museum worthy fantasy or surrealistic concept art you could think of(I'm also buying the animator survival kit book but thats beyond the point.)
>>3151912https://imgur.com/a/oP3eDThe art from the deckMaybe something with otherwordly juggernauts paintings?
There was a mega under the name book 11 does anybody still have it ? The old mega is dead
>>3151989Didn't even bother reading through the first couple of posts, did ya?
There's something off about this art... But what is it?
In this thread - the finest display of krugers /ic/ has to offer
>>3151173Feet anatomy is weird and face is flat. otherwise realllly cool shit.
>this thread full of dunning kruger /beg/gersits the retardedly short anime proportion upper body, especially around her skirt.
>>3151173The artist forgot to draw a face.
Looks like she is about to fall over to me.
Last thread: >>3145627This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime works in-between their studies, however, all forms of stylization is welcome here. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art.

>>3152178Come on, mang, the facial proportions are nearly the same as the non-chibi face. If you don't want other's opinions what are you doing on a critique board. I like your art but you seriously have issues with taking any sort of criticism
>>3152180It's not even criticism in the first place tough. I squished her face compared to her usual proportions and that's why I called it chibi, you're saying it's the same but that's wrong. No need to get autistic about it.
Coming here from /cgl/, looking for advice on how to better shade this for a tshirt design. desu I mostly draw horror/dark art so like, this is totally not within my area of knowledge. I
>>3152182its anything but a chibi face, youre insane if you honestly believe that it is

>>3150878Face is really cute but she looks kind of like somebody walked in on her and she's trying to think of what to say. What kind of feeling are you going for in the expression?As a side note, the back feels a bit flat compared to the rest. It might be the angle.
>>3152065I made some changes and tried rendering th back a bit. I don't have much in mind for the face other than "cute", but I like the scenario you built around it and might try to work with that
>>3152125Oh hey fisher. I like it, but as the other anon said, have an idea and make it resonate through your hands as you draw.In the sketch the tail was flat with lighter outline but now you increased its contrast, which steals attention away from the actually important area, her back and shoulders.
>>3152125keep up with the pedo shit, sicko.
I just got a tablet and finished this, I need some critique please
Any of you preparing for Inktober?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xboI7YCsuAQScott Robertson new video made me wanna try it out for the first time. The only rule is to draw with ink every day of the month.
>>3140360Nice
>>3152169Digital for inktober is weakmode, technically you can do it but you're kinda missing the point of it all. Don't you got ball point pens or something?
>>3152169No.Why is this so hard for people to understand?Inktober is for ink. INK. Not pixels.
>>3152169You can buy a pen pack for less than $10

This guy quitted his "high paying job", decided to go do art professionally.He managed to work for disney as an animator for lion guard.this is his work : https://gabrielchoquette.deviantart.comexplain.
>>3151748Where's the crap cut off line?
>>3151701ok but what if you love it?
so? at least he is doing what he loves ,who the fuck cares he is working at a preschool cartoon for god sake
>>3151728>I like my art more than hisThat's because you're a beginner.
>>3152056no one is hating on him. I am amazed Disney would hire people with his skill, that's it.
Is there ANYONE who started drawing past 30 and managed to git good?
>>3151990>bad grades>somehow get into Art Center???
>>3151991High school art class grades mean jack shit, I doubt that art center even looks at your GPA at all, most art schools don't.
Fuck you whiny r9k art incels. Just fucking draw and enjoy it for what it is.
>>3149895Art has no age restriction
>>3151498Can you give us the source anyway?
Thoughts on an illustration I did a few days ago? xx
>>3151918Is work like your pic good enough for Inktober?
>>3151779The body of the woman is too understated, she looks like she's part of the background. Render her as much as you rendered the Octopus.
>>3152071no idea, i made insta a year ago just after oktober.. what do you mean good enough tho? i saw pretty shitty drawings at inktoper hastag, i thought only rule is you gotta make em dailyOctopuss thread? got 2 more
>>3152095how did i hit p instead of b lol not even close on the letter-thingy
>>3151779I'd buy that. I'd hang it on my wall

>>3150518Her torso is non-existent, but it somehow feels nice to look at, at least at first glanceColoring/shading pretty simple not much to talk about, really ok-ish piece
Have fun guys
>>3151336Help educate me and make me woke, I need to make it
>>3152082Just use some reference and keep drawing, look at her and tell me why she looks wrong; It is because she doesn't have a torso, her breasts get directly connected to her waists Practice anatomy, after you reach a comfortable level with it, move your focus to other area like coloring/shading/perspective/gesture
>>3150504I'm no good but here's a sketch

>>3152148How do you expect any answer with the lack of data. Post your work.
>>3152150I literally have no work to post. Just a bunch of unfinished shit.
>>3152151Post it.
>>3152151Try finishing something. If you have a weak spot like hands or feet that prevents you from finishing it, don't start anything new. Overcome it even if it means relying heavily on reference without fully grasping the anatomy or form. You'll have a much better grasp on when you'll get better if you actually face all the hurdles instead of working on the fundies without clear aim.
So I drew this last night. I have a really long way to go, but I'm forcing myself to draw at least once everyday to keep practicing. I got a Wacom a few days ago and I'm enjoying it so far, getting used to it.Now, how do you guys do the borders after sketching? as you can see in this example, my lines are all fucked up. I'm using SAI to draw, before I just took a picture of my pen drawings and used the curve tool to do the borders and digitalizing. Now I'm trying to use the pen instead but it ends up like this.
