If I'm low iq, starting from zero and self-taught (i.e. no classes or online courses) what balance of studies and finished work should I aim for? My goal is to be a well rounded draftsman with decent rendering skills.

Still struggling with https://daromeon.itch.io/cubeWhen you’re given one plane like this, I know you can’t EXACTLY measure what the perpendicular looks like, but are there any tips and tricks to help guesstimate it better? Or is it literally just “you have to feel it”?Sometimes I hit it bang on and sometimes I’m totally off, idk how you’re supposed to get consistent with this. Specifically I want to find the line that’s perpendicular to the given plane, I feel like estimating the size of the faces and the degree of convergence isn’t too bad once you have the initial perpendicular

getting closer to ashleys final design for my new thumperella comic. heres an animation i just made where she transforms into thumperella and punches (you)! the entire comic will be done in a simpson/futurama style
>>8034841there's a new one but the old one got randomly nuked
>>8037229thats the one I watched, I just animated the hair like u would w/ a flag or flowey things
>>8037966Yeah true lol, although the snappiness of the 3-frame loop makes for an intense scene but idk if you’d animate clothes ripping unless you’d be willing to make that.

>>8032247What? Trannies have been CONSTANTLY trying to force themselves into lesbian spaces (irl) for decades now. They’re basically the reason that lesbian bars and lesbian music festivals barely exist anymore, they all turned into “queer/nb” spaces where men are allowed too. Why wouldn’t lesbians hate them? Not to mention they just sexually creep on lesbians a lot. They have even more of a reason to hate them than straight women do

Pretty good.You should keep it somewhere secret and redraw it one day, just to see what you've expanded on since then. ^^
Is 24 too late to become a great digital artist? I wasn't born with "it" but lately I've been feeling like this want I want to do with my life.But I fear that I will not be able to make it because I wasn't one of those kids that started out young.Can I make it?
>>8031294Not OP - but yes/no. From a technical point perhaps i.e everyone knows how to draw a landscape. And given enough reference frames/examples one could reliably generate enviable permutations. If great is 'I read and contributed to the discussion of digital art' perhaps not. Pushing isn't enough. As of now, who (professionally) would 'vouch' for you?(>>8014425)
>>8031668You did this?
Ultimately it just comes down to how much free time you have. The reason why young starters have such an advantage is because they are able to get work as an artist almost as soon as they need to get work. Your typical wagie has no such luck and will probably get demoralized and give up before making it. Obviously if you don't give up, you can make it. But that's a big if.
>>8014425I started couple days ago digital after doing about a year of trad. You will ability to make it is only held back by your convextion to do so
Mentors pipelining improvement in a way that bypasses normal society expectations is extremely strong. Don't listen to a majority that doesn't know whats possible for youAlso, learning to love doing this and creating things and going into imagination and osmosis from imagination. Be wary of paths of purely skill and practice and study. They're not in touch with the more passionate fun creative place that drawing comes from in the mind. Listen to the people that are mentors, find mentors that make it fun for you and not a skill grind. Get into drawing in a self motivated way. NOT self motivated to practice, NOT self motivated for its own sake, NOT developing a liking of any manner of improvement. Throw that out the window.But RAW creativity. When I mean raw, I mean, try instead of shapes, to make a shape, and give it things as you're making it. Put guns on them, patterns on them, put speech bubbles, put effects. Draw things you want to draw. BE WARY of how FAST you can develop an association with drawing that could make it seem too hard, not fun, etc. You want to keep the digital art stuff alive. Don't cross over into the army of people who practices and only practicesIt is not hard. Your development in drawing should be in direction where the improvement is simply happening, you're not stressing, you're loving it. Hard comes from making it hard and it doesn't have to be that way. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>8034503no no bro you dont get it; we, the epic trolls, are insulting and making fun of him so he is seething and schizo melting and we are totally owning him bro because if someone ever said to me i was cringe i would kill myself where i stand so he probably cries himself to sleep ever night and he is obsessed with me specificallyowned that schizo lmao
Remarkable he manages to grift millions of dollars and still a 6 figure salary yearly to this day off this one garbage game.
>>8034462I don't hate him, but man it sucks that I was too pussy to put anything out there when I was younger. This guy has strangers paying his bills and he doesn't even have to work on his game, he's set for life for having an idea that was never even finished or made to a good standard just because it was at the right place at the right time. I always wanted to do game dev or comics or something creative back in the 2010s and I feel like shit only making my actual attempts now when everything is completely oversaturated and I have no chance of ever making a living off of it.
>>8034503Uh im pretty sure he actually makes thousands of dollars because pewdiepie or whatever played his game once 10 years ago. If your thesis was true chris chan would be a billionaire.
>>8034462Drawn or sloppa? I'm thinking it's most likely sloppa because he'd already credit the artist if it-6 fingers, el sloppa mc sloppaWhy is he doing this. Is he stupid?
Proof that art is something only a few talented peoples can do and an innate traits >Michelangelo di Lodovico>At the age of 13, Michelangelo was apprenticed to Ghirlandaio.>At the age of 21. On 4 July of the same year, he began work on a commission for Cardinal Riario, an over-life-size statue of the Roman wine god Bacchus. >Bramante, who was working on the building of St. Peter's Basilica, resented Michelangelo and convinced the pope to commission him in a medium with which he was unfamiliar, in order that he might fail at the task. He created the Sixtine chapel fresco.>Michelangelo's work transcended that of any artist living or dead>Michelangelo was often called Il Divino ("the divine one")>Pioneered Mannerist architecture.>He did not consider himself a painter, Michelangelo created two of the most influential frescoes in the history of Western art

What method are you supposed to use when you want to analyze someone's color choices?I'm not talking about the light, or shadows, or values, but specifically the color gamut, saturation, and hue. If I see a piece I like, how am I supposed to break it down to analyze it and absorb it into my general system of thinking about colors, as opposed to just a specific palette of colors I can refer to, I want it to change my way of thinking about color the same way figuring out form permanently changes the way you think about lines and volume. Are there any foundational courses and books on this topic, or software tricks that expose the mindset behind a palette?
nigger really said elaborate :crine:
>>8032004Fortnite got a 2nd pirate update what!? Imagine..
>>8032004James Gurney - Color and Light pg.124 - 132is all you need>but how do I actually learn how to use a gamut-paint a full scene with a bunch of objects with different local colors without touching the hue on the color selector. you'll learn real quick how to use color on a limited pallet (aka: learning how saturation is a micro hue controller to the human eye)
>>8032004read the color temperature first then rule everything out based on your findings in thereLook at your pic for example, though its a relatively complex composition (because it was taken from vidya and not real life) and have a lot of things going in there, you can still spot the color temp, namely the cooler side of the sea water at the top pic before it was illuminated by the warmer light at the bottom pic

"Settei" I did for my upcoming online comic strip/webcomic about 3 eccentric anthro girls sharing the same room at the college dorm :3Thoughts on their character designs? Do you think it's easy to imagine what they're like at a first glance visually speaking?
>>8032442Smurf is only 6 years older than Gabe btw. I always find that wild
>>8034070Ah dang that's a shame, I'm the opposite(Don't care for public servers)>>8034366Looks good so far! Something minor I'd work on is the speech bubbles, you usually want to make sure the text isn't touching too close to the inside edge of the bubble. That's easily fixed though if you adjust the leading in the text setting.It also looks like there's still enough extra room if you need to adjust the size of the bubbles
>>8034293oh... and I spent a while coming up with a comeback...>>8034366awesome stuff man. I'm glad you didn't take offense to my drawings, I was a little anxious. best of luck, the trio all seem fun in the intro. (BUT you chose the worst title design out of the three you posted earlier imo)
>>8034366I didn't notice it before but the one girl having four fingers while the others have five is triggering my 'tism
>>8034366Colored version.Since it took me more time than expected, I'll only color chapters that are max 2 pages to maintain posting consistency without sacrificing quality.>>8034378Thank you. I also just made a Newgrounds account, and I've been considering posting on Reddit as well. >>8034450I'm spending this period reading as much comics and manga as possible and you're right actually, especially when it comes to translated manga. I need to be less wordy in general :/>>8034452The current title is temporary, I hope to come up with something better and more eye catchingin the long run (character designs will evolve as well naturally btw)
Rate my shit and tell me how to make it look more moe. I feel like the face proportions or eyes are off but I don't know how to fix it. Any advice or redlines are welcome.
what other anons said. plus “make it more moe” is a very vague statement that’s basically asking “how do I make it cuter?” Which I’m guessing isn’t what you’re going for. If you’re trying to emulate 2000s visual novel art, study those style of cgs or find similar looking anime to try and get inspiration from. Plus, knowing proper anatomy will help your art look better. I suggest doing practice traces to try and see what makes up the style, and then references pieces, and then try to make your own stuff after that.
>>8034598And I should add: not all “moe” art looks the exact same (lucky star k-on ichigo mashimaro etc) so if you’re trying to go for the anime vn look, say that. Even then they all don’t look identical, art styles are something an artist acquires through many things that give them inspiration, it’s distinctly “you” and you should strive to be original
>>8034601Honestly I don't think she'll strive for what you are recommending, these type of "moe artists" just copy a really specific type of 2020s "Renaissance" moe artstyle that basically makes their oc look like a loli with "4chan" or "early internet" aesthetics or sometimes "far right" ones and now you are telling her to draw a normal human which she won't do since other moe artstyles won't get her views on Tiktok
>>8034604Unfortunate but true. tiktok wrecks the mind and it’s creativity in favor of clout chasing, in this case over anime aesthetics they wouldn’t like otherwise if it were niche. cannot wait for this “cutecore 4chan larp” trend to die and for these tourists to move onto other things.
>>8034609I genuinely wish Tiktok got banned when there was still time but now TikTok has arleady brainroted people by a lot and in this case with those type of artists it's already too deep not only their art is problematic but also themselves always trying to be edgy but really stupid, I was there when this "moe" style started emerging and I think it's kind of fading but I don't know I don't use tiktok nowadays
>>8024328Get a job. Porn isnt art.
I always love non-uniform detail distribution
>>8024328the vagooter and the hands are the only things that really look dogshit, but you at the very least refused to hide them so you get bonus points for pushing yourself. i would put this at high /beg/ level personally. the character's skin looks a bit uncanny with the folds and shadows, but i can't really tell you why. the face looks great, as does the background, colors, and composition. you really should have drawn pulchra instead though
>>8024328patreon slop
>>8031747technically, it's only "patreonslop" if there's a big, intrusive patreon logo in the corner, or the artist's website url taking up a third of the image's width
Excuse me, does anyone know who the artist is or what the character's name is? She looks lovely.
this looks like a shill thread but there are no results for that image if u reverse search it. what is thishow would we know who that is it just looks like 12 year old prebeg scribbles
>image file is above 5mb>compress the shit out of it with jpeg-xl simply out of spiteThere are no anime pics worth that much storage because they don't have that kind of details that need to be preserved.https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/109595777This for example is 20mb wtf
>>8033208You will never be barneyfag. But you already are a bigger retard than him because he at the very least knew what he was talking about
>>8033359>>8033689>>8032967the ESL writing, muted colors, and grungy rough shading are both hallmarks of russian artists. just an observation. latin american artists tend to go for "colorful cuteness overload"
>>8034214I was curious to check your hypothesis, and according to their bio they are spaniard.
>mogs every pretentious bastardIt doesn't matter what you draw, what matters is the heart behind it, some call it soul. This is why AI will never succeed, even if it is perfect who cares? When picrel exists? Just draw however you want, chase perfection if it is something you want.
>>8032360>>compress the shit out of it with jpeg-xl simply out of spiteSame, kek. These kinds of artists also use only PNG lossless format, which is unnecessarily heavy. Converting from PNG to JPG can easily reduce the size by 50-90% without any visible loss in quality.
