any kind anon remember an unlisted youtube playlist of anime illustration live streams? like an year ago. i lost it ...actually lost the account that i had added it to .please help
>>7748207Thank you lovely anon :).Hope you have a great day
>>7748209Oh come on. /ic/ only has pajeets and SEAniggers.
>>7748211The real op here... I'm not this mf>>7748211Btfo esl mf
>>7748213Sure nigga, whatever you say..
>>7748200Was it a single artist, or multiple different ones?
When did the internet choose to stop being fun?
>>7751808Chinks have their own walled-off internet and most art resources you can get for free are actually shared by chinks. Pajeets have zero positive contributions and they infest everything and everywhere though.
>>7747147It really is true. Art resources and tutorials were commonly shared for free before on forums. While it still happens now on different places like discord or whatever, it's still mainly used to promote someone else's paid online courses and soc med accounts. Makes it hard to take them seriously.
>>7743736It's you and your interests that changed, not the internet/world.It's always (you) that are the problem.Nostalgia is a bitch.
>>7752113>you changed>the world and internet did not changeGaslighting
>>7752113I've seen an awful lot of this sentiment lately, despite the times very clearly changing in drastic ways.Is this the new glowie narrative? Is it cope?
Well? Which one is king?
>>7752225The one without autistic control scheme
>>7752225photoshop got everything but would rather have the photo editing features removed cause its useless if youre just drawing, older versions like cs6 is best or 2019-20 but if you don't want to get your data stolen and fed on some AI shit just get the pirated version. Csp is photoshop copy for those that dont want to pay a subscription, its ok and all but the paint engine and lag are potential dealbreakers. Krita is free and possibly one of the best paint engines other than photoshop with most brushes working out of the box. Some features need more work like pen stabilization that for some uknown reason is its own selective tool instead of being a setting in each brush. Lag is less than csp but still there. For free krita is great for what it is.
>>7752225I love and use both. I usually use Krita because it's free, more lightweight and works on my mobile devices, but If I wanna do something extra fancy with patterns and filters and everything, I'll use CSP because of all the extra stuff you can download from the asset store.I'm sure Krita also has nice brushes and assets, but I find them a lot harder to find and assess...
>>7752744Depends on what you want to draw.Straightforward figure drawing you dont need those.Illustration scenes with backgrounds they're pretty handy.
Anyone try paint storm? Humble has it bundled with poser 12 and some brushes + assets.

is there any artist that has similar (western) anime with semi realistic rendering style like kairunoburogu and has in-depth tutorial on how to achieve that? My current understanding are1. color blocking2. light and shadow3. ???4. profit
>>77528817000 is overkill unless your printing an A1 size poster at 300 DPI (59.4cm x 84.1cm physical or 7016px x 9933px in digital/pixels). DPI is often set to 72 by default, but for web display it makes no difference (afaik). When you want to print artwork, 300 is the recommended DPI (Dots [printed] Per Inch) as more dots = higher quality print.If you're not printing, draw at whatever size you're comfortable with, but 7k is gonna be a lot of zooming in and out for detailling, most of which is lost when you inevitably downscale for web display.You might want to consider how social media platforms compress/display images based on dimensions, but I don't know too much about that, im sure you can google it.
>>7752881Also, I think most people stick in the 2000 to 5000 range with their online artwork. However, pros do use 10,000px + canvases, I just don't see why anyone here would really need that kind of stress.
>>7752946>>7752941thanks, i will change my ways now.
>>7752948If you don't care about printing, stick to 4k sizes, which is the current golden standard for displays.4k landscape size is 3840x2160px.
wanna draw this guy in a non realistic/anime-like artstyle but his jewfro is just downright horrendus. How to make it cool? Or should i make him have a different haircut like his fanarts usually do?

>>7703754What's so strange about her?
Best book for SD/mini/chibi character drawings? There are artbooks like the ones for Nippon Ichi's Labyrinth series. But I don't think they are that good, sorry. I recently watched this vignette illustration (whatever that means) from a Naoki Saito video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOg2j3-Vf30And like, damn, I want to be able to draw like that.

>>7752757Just remember to blink and look away from the screen every 10-15 minutes or so for 1 minute to rest
>>7752135These are actually horrible stretches that will fuck your hand up. Shake your hand out for 10 seconds while breathing deeply. Then take a 10 minute break. Literally all you need. Figures a retarded western weeb faggot drew that image.
>>7752135lift weights >>>/fit/also like proko said, draw from shoulder
>>7752757I got two screens, one on cintiq and the other is for checking my colour values calibrated with spyder. the cintiq screen are darker and tinted with nano ceramic tint to cut the light radiation. my background layer are usually coloured in midtones such as grey, off whites, sepia brown, novel paper (royal sundance, finch vanilla, munken) and navy blue.
>>7752135i can lift 35kg dumbells on chest days, i must say that alone took away wrist pain from drawing
How do you organize your shadow shapes in appealing ways? What do you look for when you're drawing overlapping folds?

>>7751380IMO, if you want to do digital, you can just go digital. You don't need some minimum skill level.The reason you'd want to draw on paper first is to find out if you actually enjoy art, before you dump money on an art tablet.
>>7752087>the thread gets spambotted at 270 posts in order to secure a new OP from the same guy (every full moon he sleeps through it and someone makes a slightly less shit, but still shit thread instead)>if the exact same webms and images aren't the first (botted, <30s delay) posts, the thread gets deleted and re-made>the OP doesn't own a tablet, nor draw and is a confirmed AI genner over at /g/>the majority of the posts in /dtg/ threads are just page 8~10 bumps masqueraded as retarded shitty questions or throwaway answers with 0 thought put into them for actual questions>no actual info in the OP, no cool infographs, news or guides on how to get good cheap deals, stale as FUCK>this has been going on for 5 years now, jannies gave up year 1It's just a soapbox for someone mindbroken by china + a few lost souls waddling into it every now and then, you are legitimately better off going into /beg/ or even random drawthreads on other boards to ask for tablet related questions.

I'm gay and very interested in drawing like Dopq and Drawreshi ie bara contents (I'm doing my parts of it)However there is few bara art ressources...So recently I kinda left my art block by drawing alongside dopq art streams and copying Drawreshi arts.The problem it's that it's just copying I'm not Learning a thing technically (although copying is a way to study), when I try drawing without their ressource I'm doing shit.Someone told me to study bodybuilders, Is it a good thing and how do you study a model ?And what do you recommend me to learn hoqw to draw bara like them (cant't find a lot of ressources)
>>7749399op please do not use this book, its horrid lvls of dogshitno i will not elaborate about why its canine poopoo, just study bodybuilder pics / bear pornos and cross-reference the studies with REAL anatomy books
>>7748566>Dopqshe refers to photos. >Drawreshi you need to have good understanding on how muscles are "puff" up in 2D from 3D.
take yo warping tool and make the character wide, apply some muscle definitions with overlaps and it's done

>>7752819The amount of money per man hour to draw each page required is simply not worth the amount of stress and shortened life span from said stress. Add on that even if you have the money, many serious mangakas will have assistants and the like and will have to pay them out of their own pocket, which further reduces the amount of money you make. Personally, that math doesn't work out for me, even if they further doubled the amount of money paid per page beyond what they already increased the money to recently.
>>7752748>Currently unavailable.Damn the one I had has become rough and I can't find it in any stores.
I'm really pushing myself out of the comfort zone with some of these pages. Like, dudes AND horses? Come on, man
>>7752864Nice horses.
>>7752864Very interested in what you're working on. I draw mostly men and horses and hate drawing women and backgrounds lol.
What painting dog is this from? I like...
>>7746000it's cute this guy paid mad stacks for a painting and chose to get painted with his dog
>>7746000His hand looks tiny.
>>7751903pretty sure I recalled the painting dog from a game
>>7750494>>7752312I'm going to guess that it was Layers of Fear because it has a bunch of real life paintings in it.
>>7751947It's a self-portrait.
Memes aside, is there any proof that some people are naturally better at art than others? By "talent" I mean an experience boost, like you level up faster, not a magical gift from God.I don't mean theories, I mean facts, like someone that did art for 10 thousand hours and still sucked at it.I've been drawing since 2019 and I'm still a /BEG/ so I'm inclined to believe talent is real but maybe I'm just a lazy bum.
>>7751962You are taking it in a literal way. Not an actual headache.Don't you feel tired after drawing for a bit of time? Not tired in the sense of boredom.
>>7744167There is passion and there is a quicker ability to grasp a concept compared to someone else. That's it that's all there is to it. If you have passion and a slightly better brain at understanding creative concepts its percieved as talent because you pick things up and improve faster than others. This thread did not need to go on this long. If you can't draw your brain was simply meant for a different creative medium.
>>7744167the best way to disprove talent is to show a good artist who started bad. That's it. Every good artist you can name will have started out pretty good already. And every popular bad artist will be shown to have not gotten any better despite having all the resources and motivation to improve.
>>7752376did you mean disprove or prove?>>7744167talent is just natural learning and understanding, intelligence really. Everyone who isnt majorly physically or mentally disabled in some way has a learning curve, some steeper than others with different peaks and valleys. Most people don't know their potential cause they dont try. just assume you have talent until you realize you don't, but by that point it won't matter since you've learned enough to know you dont know shit and can start actually improving properly.
>>7744167The only real "talent" that actually exists, and is determined by DNA, is intelligence which enables you to learn pretty much anything faster.And I suppose everyone's brain is different and processes things differently/faster; such as autistic people being better with numbers.
can someone explain to a beg like myself why fechin and john singer sargeant are so big among realist painters today and not, say, repin?
>>7735002Sargent regained popularity last couple decades due to the internet and mostly by younger people who are just getting into painting.Actually, neither Sargent nor Repin were doing painting in the traditional sense. They were both more concerned with optical depiction of the real. In Repin's case in a more naturalistic way whilst Sargent had his own pretty girl aesthetic which worked well but was borderline classical realist.Again, they weren't really popular amongst those more artistically cultured. You could say Sargent stuff was even a bit tacky but he was nevertheless a great painter by his own accord, just like Repin.
>>7752698>they weren't really popular amongst those more artistically culturedShow me what was, pretentious faggot. Postmodernism?
There was a time where they all loved Ivan the terrible and his son painting.
>>7752698>they weren't really popular amongst those more artistically culturedsays who? I'll take the argument about Sargent, but Repin has always been one of the greats. Like anon here >>7752732 says, Ivan the Terrible has always been a popular painting. Repin has Russia's best academy named after him, and just in case you didn't know, Russia has always been a big contender in culture. Russia's literature, classical music, film, theatre and ballet can rival that of any other nation's, and the same goes for painting. I guess in America you guys don't know about any of this because you're all hung up on the whole communism thing, but in the rest of the world we all know of Russia's cultural importance.
>>7752703Post-modernism was just a few decades ago dood..>>7752755Repin's fame was confined to russia. sure he wasn't totally unknown abroad but still a minor figure compared to contemporary's such as Monet, Matisse, Degas, Renoir and dozens more.Both Repin and Sargent, weren't doing what was "cutting edge" at the time, so to say. They were more concerned in depicting things how they actually looked like, in a superficial yet very tasteful way..Sure you can say the Impressionists were also doing the same, and actually foregoing concepts that were always part of the painting tradition and would later be recovered on the turn of the century by the expressionists, the abstractionists, cubists, etc.. but impressionism was already on the verge and arguably trying to go beyond the first layer of appearances..And I completely agree that Russia's culture has always been majestic, I know because I travel there often. It's a country that celebrates their artists more than anyone else. Although, like Asian countries with great tradition, they were more or less on their own up until recently
