>>7826912Oh yeah well you’re a faggot.
>>7826447From the previous stuff on your twitter, it looked like you were drawing to match real life references rather than going for any sort of anime stylization.
>>7827207Ah, yeah, my painting is more western while my drawing has tended towards more anime-oriented stuff lately
>>7826175Definitely something better than what anon drew that's for sure. Pretty much nothing is correct and the panel flow is a bit confusing and awkward
I've been making art just for myself to look at for about the last 8 years. I have zero following online and I have no idea how to market myself for commissions.Either way I still keep pumping out new personal projects that go nowhere but to my friends.I would really appreciate critique on my style(s). General questions are welcomed as well.(i'm a loser) :)
bump
Is this a joke?I actually can't tell.
looks like those schizo collages
>>7828010Schizo?
Ixy's whole course is basically just tracing and use reference. Really that's all you need to make it?
>>7811536they'd probably say some giberish in old italian and crucify the demons who trap souls inside electric boxes.
>>7813326if you dont apply what the guy tried to teach, its a you problem
>>7822981not an argument to my claim
>>7815299You have a point but please be nice about gi... He never said that he doesn't use refs and he constantly said he is able to draw from imagination because he started drawing at age of pre 5 and he had a little bit of talent which made him able to draw 3d when he was 9 or something. And he also observed everything for his art constantly. Its just that people don't search enough about gi and think thats normal. What made gi able to do that is massive amounts of practice and talent combined.
>>7812352this is art if you take the "artist" in "con artist" literally
I NEED something like this.Is there *anything* like this out there?
>>7826872>Could somebody please red marker a skeleton over this model? I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Thank youdid you even read what the anon asked for?And how did i traced it? I drew over it where the ribcage is, i did not traced it, do you even understand the meaning of the word "tracing"? How can i trace it if the ribcage isn't even to see since there is flesh over it you blind pigeon?
>>7826953literally 60 iq holy shit
>>7826163i don't think the scapula should be visible because the ribcage has width,the clavicle looks sunken because you added the muscles kek, seems correct doe
>>7825139How do you like your figures? Got one in a full bundle and it seems pretty fun. Wondering if it's worth getting another for a pair.
>>7827189more like over 9000!!!!

>>7818447How much did ya practice to get to that level? I can only so-so copy.
how do i draw like imamura ryou? is it just round brush with no attributes? does he use underdrawings?
I made this drawing to determine how much i can draw, about how much would this go for if i ever decided to do requests if any at all? or how much for the head only? Is there a designated place to ask this kind of stuff?
>>7827875>Is there a designated place to ask this kind of stuff?About commissions? Not for that specifically, you can use /sqtddtot/ for questions. If you intend to do NSFW specifically you can try asking in /salt/.
been a while, went experimental on the hair not sure I really like it. I'm with happy with her eyes.

i
feel
it mister vilppu; at least i certainly hope so
>>7827947nice foreshortened right leg
Taking a break? Drink some water, do some stretches, share some thoughts.Just keep them art related.Been a while since we had last one of these
>>7827238ramune...
>>7826950If you can hit 200 updoots you can hit 2,000, it's just a matter of timing and the zeitgeist. But reddit won't get you many followers or a fanbase unless you get cozy with the mods like the big guys on /r/comics
>>7821652i've been learning to pace myself, which has been improving my overall work output. i've been drawing exactly one room on my supeisushippu once per day. i don't get burnout as much and progress moves a lot faster than staying up all night and crashing out for 48 hours trying to catch up on sleep.
>>7827275Take breaks. When I feel my energy slowing down, I will hop on the internet, have a drink, or even lay down and listen to some ambient music. Just a quick recharge, then jump back to your art.Its good for your eyes to take breaks too....you can get eye strain and blurryness if you are staring at your art constantly. When you take a break, look at objects that are farther away for a good 30 seconds, it helps with you focus for your art.
In the year of tumblr eve, 2013I went to the Oracle at /ic/ and asked "Who is the greatest artist on /ic/?" >(you) are, Anonymous "Surely not! This cannot be so! I must browse /ic/, surely there is someone who is far superior than I! I shall post my work!"At first, I proclaimed my superiority over all, and nervously watched my art get trashed. I was fine with it, because my blood, heart and soul was poured into my artwork. It was my "Artistic Ego" that needed to take the hits. Hits it did take. I was the worst artist because I stopped drawing. One post by one post, one bad drawing at a time, I had actually surpassed the ones I once idolized in at least one way or another. I wanted to be a digital concept artist so badly I hadn't realized I hated digital art. I did the monthly memes and whored myself for cash, until one day, I looked around /ic/ and saw all those I had once idolized were long gone but not replaced to me. The crabs sadness compounded. They had forgotten to learn to take the lesson of /ic/ with themselves while off the internet as well, for now the internet was everywhere. It had invaded their minds. I watched them believe the same thing I once did, throwing themselves for the approval, of someone, anyone. I looked at my old art, at what I had poured my entire internet self into vying for the place where I had abandoned all hope of making it. Ye who enter /ic/ leave hating /ic/, until you realize everywhere else is just a worse version of /ic/. Today, I realized the truth: I wasn't the "great rendering machine of digital still lives" I wanted to be, but I had gotten to a place where I even began to think the Oracle was right, I just had to burn through myself until I could finally reach the place where I can sayI made it.

Just a reminder to save your works boys :DInfinite painter was upgraded automatically last night and doesnt open anymoreI installed older version, it works but all my projects are gone :DFortunately am beginner and loss wasnt absolutely massive
>>7818254Coming from an ancient Cintiq, the Xppen's good enough. It's a matter of how much the video's points bother you. The Chinese brands started getting too expensive for the risk some years back which lowers the appeal. Getting one second hand when you need a display tablet quick beats a new Intuos or saving up for a Cintiq. I'll see how I feel once it breaks (4 years now).
>>7818253found an used Xiaomi Pad 5 + pen for 150 bucksis it worth it? previously used a 2022 s6 litequite worried about the pen desu but the tablet seems fine? also bigger screen, would appreciate input
Are there any good aftermarket stands for the kamvas 22 plus? The stock one is fine but something that allows different heights and positions/orientations would be nice. Don't wanna put it on an arm.
>>7826878Watch some reviews, I've heard the pen sucks.
Previously on /trad/: >>7781453
>>7827954>at least zornif you dont know its ivory blacktitanium white and yellow ockerand cadmium red, but its very expensiveas i sad a red earth paint or a synthetic alternative can replace red cadadd ultramarine if you want to paint landscapes
>>7827956that's not zorn, it's a shitty approximation of it3/4 wrong pigments, cold white, colder red, warmer blackgreat way to frustrate a beginner with a shitty palette
>>7827960>>7827956>>7827954Thank you all, I'll be looking into this!
>>7827960its the apelles palette, a classical palette used for thousands of years, goes back to the cave man. zorn is the most used name.there is no right or wrong version. what i have listed is the best for a small budget.the temperature of the other 3 paints, doesent really matter that much, because titanium white produces very cold mixtures anyway.not perfect, but there is no cheap warm white out there. there is no cheap warm red eighterso next time try not to talk about stuff you have no idea about, retard
>>7827971>its the apelles palette, a classical palette used for thousands of yearsno it isn't, retard>there is no right or wrong versionyes there is and yours isn't right>the temperature of the other 3 paints, doesent really matter that muchstopped reading, you can't paint, probably the gypsy

Who is this schizo samefag that keeps arguing with himself?
What happened to all the concept art community that used to make content for youtube? I haven't seen anything for the past few years

>>7825243I don't know, doesn't really seem better than the stuff I see on /gif/ eg picrel or https://i.4cdn.org/gif/1765689279907800.mp4 pretty generic and milquetoast, lacks the visceral feeling of the real thing or the atmosphere, storytelling and eroticism of 3D animation it's directly competing withliterally no reason to fap to it over those even ignoring the duration limit
>>7825280stop trying to make me like chocolate girls
>>7825280>pretty generic and milquetoast, lacks the visceral feeling of the real thing or the atmosphere, storytelling and eroticism of 3D animation it's directly competing withI agree with you on this point but you have to consider how uncerebral the average male is when it comes to porn. What you posted will get the job done for like 90% of men.
>>782790990% of those 90% would rather watch normal porn and see current ai animation as weird dweeb shit in the vein of boomer photo caption pornai porn is deep in gooner territory, gooners just don't realize how weird it is to normalfagsthe point is that it does nothing for anyone not irreversibly cumbrained over the usual offerings, normalfags have normal porn, nerds have skillfully made dweebshit, nobody normal wants to either fap to uncanny valley 5 second clips nor spend time prompting the perfect 5 second uncanny valley clip to cum to

>>7783056It's so hard to draw and animate with a mouse.
>>7783547The whole global animation industry is at a moment of crisis right now. It's only logical that the traditional strongholds of the business: America, France, Japan/Korea prevail in the battle for every new project opportunity on the table, and under the table.. They are fighting for their lives, and that's no joke.You should move to France, if you're not already there. Don't waste your energy and your life yearning and hoping for something that is out of your hands.
This running animation I made looks a bit "choppy". Adding more frames did not help. I messed up somewhere. I never practice these sorts of things but I figured I could at least do one a day.
>>7825946tough. I used to use a laptop trackpad. get a tablet(with or without a screen) asap.
Animation commissions charge per unique frame right? What if there's small stuff like eye movements?
