Thanks, and yeah, consistency really is such a powerful ally. Just showing up (almost) every day, and not letting yourself get caught up in doubt does wonders. Honestly has helped me in other areas of life as well

Just recently got back to drawing after more than a year off. The main goal now is being able to control my art's expressiveness and "play with the viewer's psychology." Also, trying to capture people's likeness accurately in different angles is a huge one.
I don't know if my style changed much, it's still very low energy and not very expressive when I look at it

PC shat itself during summer so any files i didn't have uploaded somewhere is gone, so it starts from mid 2025 instead of january
>What did you learn this year?
Rendering, went from something I hated to something I enjoy quite a bit
>What do you want to get better at next year?
Drawing, specifcally at weird angles. Also backgrounds.
>Did your style and taste change?
Taste nah probably not, I don't think style really changed either

its not a swastika. i think swastika depiction is one of the things that is dangerous to do, but in art, i'm not sure how it could be forbidden. they show nazi documentaries all day every day here, to push in that guilt complex (or maybe inspire??) and you see the hakenkreuz all the time obviously. and i typed out swastika before, which is wrong, its a hakenkreuz. the swastika is the original version and i think its important to differentiate, because its an old symbol. you see it every day when you look up the sky, radiating above our heads.

How you guys draw NSFW all the time and concetrate on what youre doing? Ive never drawn anything erotic and Im doing my first serious attempt at it and my dick wont let me fucking concentrate, wanking before starting the drawing process helps but doing that every single time I want to work on this thing that will take me a while because Im a noob at it and Im learning the process is very fucking annoying.

1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.

2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.

3. It is recommended to let the thread reach page 7 before starting a new one.

Has anyone else been asked to tattoo people? I am an academic fundies zealot, but I have like 5 people who want me to tattoo them, and one has even brought over a tattoo machine. The only issue is I'm very intimidated as I am used to drawing detailed portrait and landscape slop. I know for something to be tattooable it has to be simple and have certain line qualities. How does one practice? Have any other anons done tattoos?

Go to a local butcher and get some pig skin. Try on that first.
I've designed a few dozens of tattoos for cash and I still don't get the appeal of turning your body into a sketchbook and ruining your immune system.
There's something about the generally low IQ of people who have tattoos that makes them abhorrent. 99% of their tattoos fall into one of those categories:
>An ad for a franchise they grew up with
>OMG MY CUTE BABY/MY BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND
>Whatever's trendy right now (it won't be trendy in 3 weeks)
>Ideology/religious bullshit - those get super funny when the person has a change of heart
>Love Dream Smile - or some other "2deep4u" text. Double the retard points if it's in a language they can't speak.

>using references
This is allowed and perfectly valid. Anyone who disagrees is a colossal retard.
>tracing
This is ONLY allowed for studies, aka trying to learn or figure something out. Tracing a piece to publish online as "work" is FRAUDULENT and NOT A DISPLAY OF SKILL.

These are the FACTS and they CANNOT BE DISPUTED. Sorry, frauds.

I think it's reasonable to sell ai art provided you also include the model version and the full page of prompts so the buyer could recreate 80% of it on their own. You're essentially selling pure Idea and offload the technicalities to ai.

But we all know these scummy, smelly, brown Jeets won't do this, they'll lie and scam instead. And run the whole industry into the ground like they did with crypto and NFT. The frog and the scorpion, etc.

I hate to be that guy but it's like how people boycott products made by a certain nation/ vegans don't use animal products. the Quality is irrelevant, it's the principle.
