Imagine you hate a lackluster 4th generation video game mascot so much that you as an artist make a parody of them thats depressed, washed up and trans.Imagine you make this representation of the character so much a part of who you are as an artist that you develop an derangement from it and further more you yourself because trans, have a breakdown, delete tons of you'd work from the internet, and when you come back you do the same shit for Sonic satAM.Sqrlyjack has become that washed up, depressed, trans parody of Bubsy they originally created.I will never understand why artists like this just self-implode on themselves when they had so much potential.(Not meant as a target of the artist, just a criticism. Also wasn't sure if this was the appropriate board.)
>>7134458>>7134745I read the one that said artists are functionally gambling addicts who cope by believing they could still "win" after they're dead.
>>7134788what a horrid comparison. that’s like saying playing sports is gambling hoping you get to a major league.of course some scientist yahoo or whoever makes studies would say something like that
>>7134657and know what, does it matter
>>7134874Cautionary tales. These types of artists are cautionary tales.
>>7134455>>7134657I've seen this flavor of art schizo so many times it's not even interesting anymore. Wake me up when he does something retarded IRL, discord troons are so 2018.
Hi, do you know any tutorial to Shade skin like in the picture? I need to improve skin shading in my works, need the technique i Guess, if you can help me with this i would be really greateful
>>7131008I think houtengeki's rendering looks similar. His yt has been dead for a bit but he still has a lot of both VODs and timelapses in therehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfZ5v3NZ2J0
>>7132401legit question, why would you need other brush? I use hard and this one https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1924687
>>7133798>houtengekiNot OP but thank you anon! I read his book and it's great that he's got a youtube channel too.
>>7134575I found out he also streams on twitch, but unfortunately only gameplays. He's plays a lot of elden ring and FF14.>>7131008Someone on another thread also mentioned buying rizdraws gumroad tutorial on rendering. It might be worth looking into.
>>7134724>he also streams on twitch, but unfortunately only gameplaysWhat a pity I'm not interested in watching others play games, I'd rather play them myself.
Post art with only two tones.Who does it the best? Do you do it much? How do I achieve the mythical good ink-and-pen artist status?
My appreciation for inked art has gone up so much since I have been going to Heritage Auctions. So much original inked comic, fantasy and sci-fi art on there, so much good stuff.
>>7134593same here, heritage is the shit. my friend is one of their online catalogers and i’m forever envious when i see the things coming in
How is 2024 treating you?
>>7134604saw decent-ish improvements back in feburary and now i'm plateauing/somehow regressing back to prebeg
>>7134624this is normal for any skill anon, just keep going and don't gest discouraged. plateaus are good for working on improving your relationship with art in general so drawing feels more fun.
>>7134604Succeeded in building a following and fans and income over the past few years, now I'm stuck tits deep in the "what if my next drawing disappoints them and they leave me, waaa" level of hell. I scribble out a bunch of half baked sketches every day but I don't bother finishing anything, so I have nothing to post.This is the result of daddy leaving me when I was a teen. I'm 40 and still stuck nursing this psychological wound, holy shit just fucking kill me, I will never become an adult.
>>7134630i'll keep trying
>this is the master of master's advicedamn thank you toriyama-sensei, you freed me from l**mis
>>7134439>>7134448>You will draw ze boxes>You will draw ze circles>You will draw ze potato jews
>>7133101kek this is LITERALLY blooks
>>7134133>>7134170Yup. Literally thousands of artists on DeviantArt who've been submitting fetish artwork for years on end with pieces that look practically identical between their first submission and their most recent have it figured out.
>>7134608>they draw and have fun>you don't draw and seeth about them on /ic/
>>7134608I know what you're getting at, but the average deviantart fetish artist isn't in this for the gains, they're in it for the fetish exclusively. Their relationship to art is not the same as an "artist's artist's" relationship is. Most of them aren't aiming to make a living out of art. They work other jobs and see art entirely as an escape / release valve on sexual tensions. They don't seek critique. They don't want critique. When they get it, they don't care about it.Draw what you want is good advice for people who are aiming to improve. If the artist is chasing a goal beyond their reach, and they're honest with themselves, they will grow in the process of striving.

Where is commissioning happening nowadays?
>>7135350Everyone where.I mainly use Discord and Twitter, though. I get comms all the time.
Need a new gay-ass thread goys!
>>7135040translation: "lol random xd"
New Thread: >>7135499
What’s the best tutorial for someone who draws and is a complete starter to Zbrush
Whoever posted the Video course general thread,FUCK YOU all of the websites mentioned on the thread are dogshit paywalled slop and require me to pay (((shekels))) for downloading from the server like a good goyim !!any alternative for downloading this course pic related /a torrent link and thank you??
Any course about how to animate 2D art in after effect?
>>7131820dang... wrong post...,
>>7130764this is not a beg course and is not for everyone, it is supplementary to your own knowledge
>>7131574use a debit card...
>>7130764the niggas in this thread can t comprehend some people prefer magnet torrent or free mega upload. As soon as I seen I needed to pay I went back to cgpeers.
Is anyone here interested in doing a group study of Figure Drawing for All It's Worth? I want to start it this week and I think it would be more fun with other people.
>>7134179Yeah I'll wait a bit before making the first thread. I'm gonna include the book and some refs in the OP.
I agree with the additional time, since the newer you are, the slower you are at copying, and the people doing it for a refresher would probably benefit more by having spaces to apply it to imaginative sketches. it really does take a lot longer than you’d think, i remember. but i’m for anything, and we can probably just depart the suggested schedule if it’s not right for us specifically, so i’d love however you do it, op. just really into your idea.this was always my favorite book.
>>7134178We can start with something like this, and adjust as needed. Even with 2 weeks that first block is pretty intense, especially the last couple pages.
What do you guys think of the Loomikin?
I made the thread>>7134446
when should a beginner stop practicing gesture and move on to anatomy? I've been doing nothing but gesture for the last 6 weeks and I'm fairly decent at it
>>7130934not op, but I'll post some. these are between 2 minute to 2:30 each.
>>7121369So real, i never understood it. Of course guesture studies are fine on their own for any level, but combining it with anatomy and figure studies is the real juice.
>>7131706you are no beginner
>>7131751I said I am not op.
>>7132346this is way too goodOP here, how much did it actually take you to reach that level? i'm simply curious
Now that it's basically impossible to gain an audience on the freedom of speech platform if you post NSFW artworks, because they're forcefully hidden, (even if you specifically requested to see them on your account settings), what can we do?
>>7128363He does this, but still wont outright ban nsfwJust do it already and stop wasting peoples time
>>7128395>Troonsky.Nah. Better obscurity than associating with trannoids.
>tfw my pony art got automatically hidden even if its completely safe
>>7128363> freedom of speech platform>Twittercome on now…Also, Twitter has never been for artists.It never has…
>>7128442Kids being allowed online period has always been a mistake…
hii guys! recently ive thought my art has gotten good enough to get commissions (the art I've put up in this post is mine) and i just want to know if any of you guys have any advice on how to get more commissions faster? I've already gone to a bunch of discord servers to promote my art, i have an insta, etc.
>>7132077These faggots don’t make any money so they wouldn’t know
>>7131208/thread
>>7134349since you're a retard. typically people come to you randomly or when you make a commission sheet saying coms are open. not enough commissions coming your way? go to plebbit or fiverr and say you're open for comissions. IF you still can't do it, then go to /aco/ at that point, since you hit rock bottom.
>>7131198>Learn about Marketing and Business and forget about art skills. You're welcome.
>>7132077>where to actually find people who will want to commission you though?You don't find them, they find you. If you post your yiff art on reddit, discord, telegram, twitter or fur affinity then a lot of furries start asking you if you take commissions.At least that's how it goes with me. I saw a few job posts on deviantart but they're flooded with hundreds of starving artists biding for the jobs within hours so it's a waste of time.
And do you think it will be convenient to even start making comics at all in 2034 if it takes unironically 10 years? I doubt the social media landscape will be the same
>>7127837>How long will it take for a beginner to reach the skill level of TGS?Art wise? Just study Murata's art for like 3-5 years, that should do it. Don't forget to study and include ass and muscle-mommy fetishes (They'll be the main reason your audience will read your comic).Writing wise? You're already at his level. No need to learn basic writing. Just introduce as many cool characters as you can and drop a lot of random exposition. If your audience gets confused because of the convoluted mess your story is, simply explain everything in the comment section, as any good writer would do.Comic-making wise? His paneling is pretty average and is carried by the art quality, so it'll probably take a couple of weeks at most. If you can do basic paneling and release 20-page chapters regularly in less than 3-month intervals, you're already a better comic artist than him.
>>7127837Je jas a really good rendering, but mediocre drawing fundamentals.
Bump
>>7127837who da fuck is this French faggot
>>7127848The goblino saga
Is 2-3 hours of drawing a day good for stable progress? I am kinda pressured by life to focus on other things and I do not want to decrease test by cutting sleep.
>>7134309If you are retarded enough to post this you too retarded to improve after 2-3 hours. For you I'd recommend at least 8 hours
>>7134309Your test levels are already that of a newborn baby girl, you're way beyond worrying about that now sister
>>7134309t's a matter of how much time you have to make a strip,and how much strip can be manufactured in a given time. I worked 6 nights a week when I produced this,and this was as much content I could make in a weekly update consistently, recycling background elements and props where I could. That is the equation that you must solve.
>>7134332but the real question is: how many pipe-fulls?
How do i cope with being a failed social media artist? All of my mutuals have far exceeded me in numbers and money even though people have said that they've liked my stuff.
>>7129759By making the things you love.
>>7129759For someone avatarfaggin onizuka you are quite a cry bitch
>>7129759post your art
>>7129759Embrace your following. Try to do something that will live on in the future. Try to make the biggest impact you can.
>>7129759You are a failed artist YET. Since you are saying that people like your work, then you might be one post away from success. Or ten, or hundred, or million posts away. The thing is that you'll never know, you either have to keep going or give up admitting your failure. Choose.
