>>5544978>>5544984>>5545048>>5545051Spanks, I’ve been logging some good mileage recently. Drawing feels like an addiction>>5548902Blog here https://twitter.com/tableguyart
>>5548684always good to wipe your arse with the worthless leaf flag. but to be completely honest your oct 2020 was better in every way. july 2021 is so boring. they're just standing there at a flat angle. no real facial expression. nothing interesting going on. colors are dull. dont know what to tell you
>>5548657a meme is born
>>5548652>>>5547035 (You)>You've improved in a few subtle but important ways. Your facial shaping looks significantly less robotic, our facial features less stilted and more organic, and overall it shows many marks of just getting a handle on things. And that doesn't come with reading books. I must admit your rendering isn't good though. Can't comment much on that - I can't do it myself.i'm not insulted i agree. thanks for the compliments. i can do better as in pic related if i really push myself but usually i can't really push myself.

why are /beg/s so put off by loomis and call it a meme?even the asian dudes behind genshin impact's art know of it and recommend it as a starting point
they have low iq, simple as.
They can't comprehend it, nor are willing to change in order to do so.For them, it's more important to show that they aren't inferior by bashing ANY resource they can't grasp than to actually improve.>I'm not stupid, it's stupid!
is hampton okay as a starting point?
Draw thread.Previous: >>5519387
>>5549237is this any better? i lightening the island up and made it more blue, added more bright highlights to the clouds, exaggerated the boats values and added more detail to the water including adding the boats shadow that i somehow missed. and the seagulls
>>5549292I mean sure, but you need to select a focal point - your values being flat here is your white highlight being strewn all over the place and as you can see here, your sails practically blend with the sky when im sure you mean for it to stand out. You might want to try introducing more darker tones to help the flow of the painting
Doing a re-imagination/study of a city from Quest 64
>>5549448I like the way you frens keep the palette on a separate layer directly on the canvas... I will start doing it too. I'm much /new/
Do you think people can make money doing RPG Maker assets? Seems like the stock images are so shit anyone can make them better.
Is this bullshit?
>>5547497Cope and seethe.

>>5547980and what do you think they do for 2 hours a day for 6 years? draw! mostly for fun.you know you could be drawing right now instead of arguing dumb shit like this
>>5549525I have the sudden urge to make out with you idk why
>>5526374There are anons on this board who came here in 2018 and spent all their time looking for an answer if it's possible to get good in 3 years. It's now 2021 and they didn't spend any time drawing and they are still looking for the answer.
How do I make 44k~152k per month drawing coomer shit on patreon like sakimi? I don't give a shit about grinding loomis, all I want is to make money off coomers, thanks in advance.
>>5549095>>>5549062>>it's still a gamble>Yep, that's RNG.>Gonna take the noose, see you in the other run anon-kun!See ya =/
>>5549095GAME OVER YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHH

>>5549491if you wanna do digital you're much better off getting good at doing a tripod grip without overexerting your fingers. holding your pen sideways like that won't work on a lot of tablets.
>>5549509buy it
I'm not satisfied with the legs and dress for this so far, any advice?
How's my samurai man?Sorry for phone posting but I got banned on my PC for 3 days for giving "Too rude criticism"Jannies are a fucking joke and NGMI, fuck you talentless tranny janitor
I'm gonna make it bros

>>5548897Your mom is a tsundere
>>5548890nothing you ever do will be good enough to satiate that coldhearted bitch. she gave birth to you not out of love but out of spite, to have someone to control.
>>5548890>do the house choresMaybe you should move out.
>>5532938You fucker. You made me relapse and coom. How are you going to take responsibility? Are you going to clean my desk perhaps? Are you going to provide me with more material?I'll be waiting, dick in hand for your reply. Sincerely, /thread.
I am trying to decompose the pose in blocks, volumes but I don't seem to get this specific pose.I have tried reviewing anatomy but I don't get how the adductors behave in this pose.Help appreciated!

>>5549435>>5546544i thought crabs were a /biz/ thing
>>5548121>>5547626Tried again, looks better. Any crits?>>5548125I pity the fool that doesn't reach his full potential because of his own ego. My first drawing didn't look like total garbage, but i can do much better. It's true that most of the crits here are just crabs shitposting, but there are some good ones too. Autism is not being able to identify the difference. >>5548478It's very nice! I understand your construction logic, but how do you get the proportions right? Do you measure with certain landmarks? I'm terrible measuring things by eye, i tried using the pencil way, but it also doesn't help. I'm really considering using the Scott RObertson method and going full grid for everything...
>>5549535Forgot the pic.
What kind of artwork impresses normies the most?
photorealism
>>5549503hyperrealism
>>5549503moeblobs just show them some tkmz and they will go "uoooohh muh soul"
Let’s get another one of these going. PYW and other anons will suggest a price range for your art
>>5544740...nothing?
>>5546539What were you expecting, 90% of /ic is just shitposting.then 10% drawing
>>5546554fair enough
>>5544740I’d pay for this, anon. Easily worth $25

>>5547266I got spooked by the progressively worse QC complaints in reviews like the other anon was talkinga bout. Got an isabey 6228 #2 earlier in the year, but fuck me is the learning curve on inking with brush steep.
>>5541761What are some cute/fun/colorful art supplies? I do sketches and studies in crayon, and want to carry that energy over to my finished works. I have a pack of pastel markers that I love to use, and am looking into getting colored fineliners. Anything else you guys would recommend?
>>5542877what's a blowie?
I have a tube of WN titanium white gouache but it's so weird. I honestly thought it dries opaque, but nope. At first it looks like it covers the watercolor layer, but when it dries it's more like a semi-transparent or semi-opaque paint. I tried with various concentrations but only if I put down 1-2 mm layer of paint straight from tube it looks covering. Am I suffering from wrong expectations here?I'm trying to use white gouache for highlights and for mixing with watercolor to get some opaqueness where I need it. I get that you need to get right consistency of gouache and that layering should be thick over thin. But it's not really opaque. Maybe WN gouache is meh?
Post drawings paintings etcetera you’ve made in traditional media for critique. The art should be something you have personally made. This is not a painting reference dump thread.
>>5548486No. Digital has no soul
>>5548486Not if people keep painting in traditional, but as more people switch to digital there’s less competition to sell paintings
>>5548486No,unless graphic tablets end up being cheaper than paper and pen/pencil
>>5548486I hope not. I don't know how to computer. Also, I like the idea of the existence of one "original" piece even though digital copies exist and prints as well.Here's a cat crystal thing I drew with ink and quill over the past few days.
>>5548630I agree, I have a hard time thinking it'll come to that though. Looks great! Are the white lines bare paper or white ink?

making brushes is easier than drawing :)
Tried to emulate schizoposter here.
>1. Learn to draw. Pixel art is only a medium, like paint or charcoal. It has his gimmicks but still relies on the same fundamentals as any other medium.So, as somebody who was literally never drawn as a hobby, what do I do? Do I just look through the pixel art tools, tutorials and do pixel art or learn drawing first.If so, how do I learn drawing? What type of drawing medium, etc.?
>>5549432Pixel art doesn't really require you to know how to draw per se, just an understanding of general visual fundamentals like 3D forms, values, colors, etc since you're free to push pixels around with zero muscle memory required. You can be a great pixel artist without ever drawing a line of figure drawing in your life, but e.g. figure drawing will help you understand 3D forms in space which will directly benefit your pixel art, which is just a way of depicting images, the same principles apply and carry over regardless of medium. You can start with pixel art and never touch a pen in your life, but you will still need to "click" on the understanding of the basics so going through the same beginner drawing exercises in pixel art would be helpful. My recommendation would be that whatever you do, make sure you have a goal you're REALLY passionate about achieving because faltering when self-taught is easy as fuck, I know I wasted years dilly dallying when I didn't know why I wanted to learn to draw, but ever since I got a clear goal in mind I've been at it for hours every day. Some resources that illuminated the basics to me are:>Perspective Made Easy by Ernest Norling - the very basics of depicting things in space, might seem daunting but it's simple as fuck when you go through it, very clear language, any knowledge of how 3D computer models work will mesh nicely with the perspective knowledge from this book >Vilppu's Drawing Manual (both book and his video course) - goes over the forms of the body and how they interact and how to depict them but the knowledge can be applied to anything>Sam Nielson's Fundamentals of Lighting - just the first couple of videos really clarified 3D forms to me and how lighting is necessary to depict them>How to Pick nice colors (Tutorial for beginners) YT video by MortMort - dead simple principles for choosing appealing colors in pixel art
