Is there a drawing app to teach how to draw? Like duolingo but drawing
>>
>>7833644
Companies are too focused on making ai slop AR drawing apps
>>
>>7833644
For daily drawing? Well there's the /dad/ thread and site.
If we're just talking about drawing... I've heard of none, but there is a pixel art game that teaches you how to make the stuff called "pixel art academy".
Otherwise, I haven't heard of such a thing, it could be a good business opportunity to fill said hole in the market, but for the love of god, don't do a freemium system; value your wisdom and efforts more than that... and also not let the scene become even more competitive with shitty cash strapped losers.

Artwod is similar in essence, but it's not a mobile app as far as I know

Well its true for drawing from life.
When im doing studys digitally or when i draw on paper from ipad ref, i usualy do sight size. Measuring in such a set-up feels retarded.

Can somebody please recommend me a figure drawing book? The way I draw figures is really obtuse and I can't even remember my own method half the time. I'd really prefer to learn how to draw figures in a way that isn't retarded.

Why drawing on a tablet sucks so bad? It doesn't even compare to the feeling of drawing on paper. It's harder and so much less satisfying. Is there a way to fix this?

Keep using tablet first month sucks the most then it will stop if you are new to this. If you are not then i guess it's not for you.

Maybe you'll get something from it if youre an absolute beginner who has never seen a pencil before. All the "lessons" is teaches are elementary art class level.

I think it'd be more grim if all 3 million were watching - do they have nothing better to do than watch fucking twitch?
There's also the possibility that a lot of them are old, no longer active, accounts.
>>
>>7829044
No, but if you're just doing nothing anyway, watching art streams is better than watching random unrelated videos. It keeps drawing at the top of your mind and might give you some ideas for things to try later.
But all the actual improvement comes from you moving the pencil across the paper, don't get it confused.

If true then how does one know what is too immature for one to draw at his age and what is fine to draw?
10 replies and 3 images omitted. Click here to view.

>>7825114
What does it mean to be "mature"?
>>
No... Consider that adults are the ones who have to make childhood entertainment.
>>
>>7828117
I was going to say that it's just something you know; a "gut feeling" essentially... but after giving it a bit more thought, I think maturity can be described as 'complexity'.
Where as children's shows have black and white morality, and simple straight forward stories and emotion; "mature" shows will be a lot more nuanced (or in other words; complex), even the same situations that were presented as black and white in the kids shows, will be shown so that we can understand why the antagonist did what they did, or perhaps the solution will also be morally ambiguous, etc...

There's also tits and ass and violence and stuff, but that's "mature" for age gated reasons, rather than because these things are actually mature.

>Like how you can spot incels by how comically overglorified their approach sexual content is.

I have "edgy" OC's I still draw and I'm almost 30. I just repackaged them with my adult world view now.
example: He's not edgy and "cooler than everyone", he's a survivor of CPTSD that doesn't trust people.
She's not a "rich bitch" she's a materialistic, social climber.
Even children's cartoons show the "child" protagonist sometimes having adult thoughts of morality and empathy. I think it's how you get away with drawing "childish" things throughout life. I think art is for enjoyment first, and then secondly the viewer, so don't worry about if it's childish. Especially if you WANT it to appeal to children. Wasn't Shadow the hedgehog made to deliberately be edgy? And Edward Cullen.

Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH1WEYF8rlA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284

Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often post paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.

Recommended tablets:

>Screenless:
Used Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom

Small (10-11"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Medium (12-16"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S9 Ultra, used iPad Pro 12.9" Gen 1-5

On Wacom, do you need to press a little bit instead of just moving the stylus? This is my first time using a tablet. Is this normal?

Is the wacom movink tab 14 worth it over the 11in wacom tab? I wanna upgrade from my Galaxy tab s7 and I have enough to comfotably get either so price isnt a major concern
>>
>>7832648
You can hover over the tablet with the stylus in order to move the cursor but to actually draw you have to press.
>>
>>7833353
I mean, the stylus pen touches the screen, but to get a line you need to press a little.

Procreate is great for sketching but is still a niche software so there arent enough tutorials. Also lacks a ton of stuff that Clip Studio has like 3D models.
Clip Studio requires a subscription and the UI isnt the most mobile friendly.
I have an iPad pro and it's FUN to draw on but I usually find myself wishing for a bigger screen and a second monitor for references and youtube help.
