>>6211163>HighbegYour mom is a beginner>>6211182Those are exactly the two things I knew I could have done betterDrop your socials by the way, I like that
>>6211318good form, better than me, but I'm a beg so idk.
From the brief stint where I thought I could just jump on the anime bandwagon and not loose all motivation trying to draw a style i disliked.
>go through life being told you're great at art, get accepted to art course, be praised by teachers, peers, family>add commission samples to a tweet you post that got big>get replies saying i should get a new hobby that i should quit art entirely etcwhos telling the truth?
You are not good, you lack basic skills in every area, the fact that you cant see this shows that you do not hold yourself to a high standard. You should go back to the drawing board and focus on drawing and rendering basic 3d objects in perspective before focusing on anything more complicated. You do not understand when to use hard and soft edges, everything is sloppy and unapealing.That being said, dont give up, if you work hard and persist you will surely achieve your goals.

>>6207237pov: you are a sheltered white boy
>>6207428I didn't trace the face I actually drew it from scratch. And no I didn't lower the opacity to shade anything and yea I probably went overboard with the blur tool recently. >>6207671Perhaps I'm soulless>>6208039This is true
>>6207279Might work to think as backrounds like you would think of the foreground , same rules apply , perspective , anatomy , maybe less detail but you get the idea
Should you treat your art account for business/professional or shitposting/personal?
>>6209839>>How dare those artist try to make a living?! >>I will accuse the legal website as pedo!When you can't shut up about child porn, even when no one discussing it, then you are having some serious metal illness, nigga.
>>6211466Gender pronoun is one of the most annoying shit ever on Twitter. I'm glad that most of artists i followed don't write that shit in their profile.
>>6208878I never had any followers when I was an 'art gallery account', and now that I interact with (no one) and shitpost all day I don't have followers either
>>6211107Lolicon is still illegal in most places and is heavily looked down upon everywhere else. Typing your name and money to that is the dumbest move you can make.
>>6211466>muh principles Retard. It takes 5 seconds to add to your profile and wins you brownie points with the zoomed. Who cares? The only people it scares away are /pol/incels so it's honestly a win win.
Today's /beg/ challenge: Draw a still life containing a pillow and a rock.Do not use the OP image as your reference; draw a pillow leaning against a rock, or draw a rock sitting on the pillow, or be creative in some way. Remember to vary your line weight to capture the feel of the objects.If you are a /beg/inner or /int/ermediate in art, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice.Use this thread instead of making new threads or post in the drawthread with fundamental exercises.RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS using one of the following methods:1. screenshot the image and post that instead2. change camera capture settings to something smaller3. send to computer and resize in MSPaintREAD THE STICKY:New collaborative sticky (anyone can edit): https://hackmd.io/UMnZVhNITW-T2wZpHw6d0QComment too long.

>>6211763I wouldn't want to get hit by a rock. So rock wins.
30 min from lifePracticing with my new edge brush until I get the hang of it, gotta get away from my chalky look
>>6211758>tracedyou can't even trace bro
>>6211726No, your lines are ugly and stiff. Gesture does not mean "low effort chicken scratched subject".
>>6211792that's what it means though. Then pros draw an actual figure over it but begs can't do that
If you're on a break after drawing and feel like sharing what's on your mind about what you're working on, the industry, things that excite you about art, or anything that frustrates you about drawing or the process of art then grab a cup of water and chill out here. Remember to keep the discussion on-topic as much as possible
>>6211247Just assume you are creative and draw what you want to draw. "A-Am I creative enough??" is unironically your depression trying to fuck you, creativity cant go away unless you had a stroke or something. If its that bad then just study until you feel like doing something creative
Anyone incorporate zbrush into their workflow? Worth learning?
Got fed up with all the AI shitposting, shitflinging and crabbing, so I'm going to quit this place for good and start working harder to put out an adequate drawing on social media every other day or so. This place was helpful to introduce me to vilppu and krenz, but none of the crabbing ever helped. So long faggots and the five good people who actually draw.
>>6211249arcana heart
I think I've come to the depressing realization that I'll never be able to retire.For the rest of my life (that matters), I'm going to have slave away full-time while using what little time I have to enjoy drawing.I had a plan and everything too, but I was being far too optimistic about my returns. >Couldn't you work in art/commissionsNo, it doesn't earn enough at all. Besides me just not being good enough.
How many sketchbook pages do you fill per day?
>>6209932At least one
>>62099320 my life's about Hampton and Loomis studies
1-2 office pages, but I draw like 5 days a week(I draw poner on dead times at uni)
>>6211424Wow. 200 sketchbooks? That would make a stack taller than almost anyone.
>>6209932I use trace paper becuase its cheap and you can unroll like 50 ft and we use it in the office for other stuff
this is gonna sound really weird but do you guys have those days where you cant draw single line or do shit right?like i just suck at everything, i have zero pen control, forget fundies, forget steps and just mess up everything when i could it fine yesterday.i dont know why this happens, I'm nit sick i just feel weird and weak and do everything like shit.is this normal time to time?it goes away after a day but until then i cant do shit that while day
>>6211735it’s normal but an unfortunate circumstance for beginners
>>6211735Yes, in my case.Days like that I'm just forcing myself to draw and 9/10 times it's much better after 4h or so.
>>6211735I have had it happen. Break the spell by deliberately drawing badly, hilariously bad.
>>6211735yes, I prefer to draw when I have inspiration, those days are just no-fuel ones
>>6211759Not even crabbing, but this mindset is a pretty solid ngmi indicator
ITT: post all the misleading advice, bad habits, time wasting courses and terrible art "teachers" you have come across.
>>6211621Nobody can concentrate for this long. The only thing this gets you is burnout and RSI.
>>6211789Thats a very good idea, thats how I got started with it too. I think a good track through it might be>Perspective Made easy>>Olson>>>Scott Robertson (supplemental)Then into Krenz, imo. Mostly cause Krenz has a really good method for complex items/figure drawing, but it requires a strong base in perspective to pull it off, imo Good luck with it, bro, can't wait to see your gains
>>6211791thank you, saved it! i have neglected perspective pretty badly, today I tried to do a room scene and it was atrocious
>>6211796Just gonna say, as someone that has gone through perspective made ez, don't be too afraid to jump straight into Olson desu.. he really starts from nothing, repeating stuff 3 times (part of why the course its actually so long, he goes into a lot of detail and makes sure you get it before moving on.Again, good luck, bro
>>6211797thanks gonna check the first part then and if its too hard I will go to perspective made easy. we gonna make it brah, it's actually good to get recommendations of courses from people that have actually tried them
Confess your /ic/ sins brothers. I will start with myself: I have never read a book by Loomis because his theory is very outdated, it is for a specific drawing style and I never want to read that book
>>6211689Your not supposed to confess in the op, attentionwhore
he fears me
I don’t draw.
I have crabbed an artist even though he was significantly better than me.
>>62116891. i rarely use references for anatomy or lighting2. i jerk off to all my drawings both as i make them and after i make them3. i dont really network much4. one time i got high and fucked my hallucinated oc's

>>6211228A little bit, yeah. I haven't worked with color before besides playing around with gradient layers and stuff. I want it to look like morning sunlight is hitting them or something. This was really just supposed to be an exercise so the final one will probably be B&W but I figure as long as I can learn something from it might as well.
>>6209549oh what a fuckin bummer
>>6185699wow the top left one is unbelievably good do you have a full size of it?
thoughts on this sketch?
>>6209561I like how you drew it, but I can’t help but think this is a yeast infection waiting to happen.
I like it a lot, anyone got more? Also how to make appealing fanart like this?
>>6211705? the fuck are you talking about

>>6211728
is Samsung Tab S8 128GB Wifi version for 620 burger dollars a good choice?
>>6211778i would have sex with her but no eye contact or kissing
Which drawing program do you use and why?Have you tried any new programs lately?What are your favorite software techniques?
>>6209215Saw your shit on NG. Glad to see other artists lurk like me lol
Anyone know where to pirate Photoshop without getting a trojan?
>>6207715I bounce between pirated photoshop and pirated CSP depending on the project
Why is it that photoshop is the only one where I have to keep optimizing just to use it? Have to fix pressure with a notepad file, dedicate a scratch disk to it, change the performance settings, install a multitude of plugins just because it lacks a lot of functions other software has, fixing jitter bug, etc.
>>6211751boomers keep repeating "its the standard" because they somehow managed to learn how to use it 30 years ago but its shit for drawing

>>6211122whats the source on the artist googly only gives me weird cult pages
>>6204709Does Honey Select 2 have loli options? If yes, do they make for good reference?
>>6211721I'm pretty sure there are loli mods.As for using them as references... I never managed to use 3d models as references properly myself and would love an explanation on how to do that
