I realized how huge of a difference it makes when you color lineart. On certain drawings it literally transforms the whole thing.

>>6400975in case of /ic/, they just want an excuse to their lack of creativity/talent. when it isn't AI, it's porn. when it isn't porn, it's politics, etc
>>6400975Nobody wants to ban AI art.This is not AI art, this is photobashing from copyrighted material, medical files, police files, cheese pizza, guro and who knows what the fuck else.It's a lawsuit in the making the first time a "smart" marketing crone uses it for an ad campaign and some pixel comber finds three nanometers worth of prepub pussy.
>>6398783>non consenual mutilationhow would you even determinate that?
>>6402227If the victim is smiling, then it's consensual
>>6400355they don't show up unless it's to bitch or celebrate censoring. typical tranny behavior.
Any art magazine or books before 2000 which talks about all kind of arts
There's an old German art magazine which was called Jugend (Youth). Maybe that interests you
>skill level plateaus at /beg/ for years
>>6404471unlucky bro. Maybe its time for a new hobby to pursue
I doodle maybe once every 3 weeks and I'm still pre-beg.
>>6404583Forgot to say it's been about 3 years now since I started drawing.
Im just switching out symbols kill me
>>6404471I know someone that has been drawing since 2007, and never moved past the copying cartoons phase. When I suggested he learn perspective, he recoiled with scorn.
How do I know if I'm getting no reception because of the algorithm, or if I'm just shit
>>6402210Sorry, but what in the world is retweet / bookmark ratio?
>>6401517if you post your art, people could just tell you, fucking retard
>>6401517Reception is not about being good its about drawing trendy and popular things and posting regularly
>>6402495Retweet ratio = If you got 100 likes and more than 10 retweets, that means your art is good or your content is shareable.
>>6402210>14% retweet ratio
>post drawings on twitter>people follow mewhy are they following me? my art is very low quality, am I going to upset them if I dont improve? will they be upset if I dont upload regularly? why would they do this to me?
>>6393496do you use tags on twitter? I always found it weird tagging popular games/anime with nsfw crap I throw in... also how do I go on about uploading sets of more than 4 images at a time? you guys yoinking in imgur links?
>>6393553I follow 1152 artists and I still check some of them personally from time to time to see if I missed anything from them regardless of their artistic skills. If your art is creative and distinct enough people will search out for you instead of you needing to herd them like sheep.
>>6401378>>6401383Use hashtag if you have less than 10k followers.How the fuck people can find your art or algorithm can suggest your drawing to potental viewer if you don't include any information?
>>6396306>I'm the most important person in my life.
>>6404379Seems you're more optimistic than me, then.I don't trust people are smart enough to to more than consoom whatever the algorithm puts in front of them when they're on their lunch break.
What if someone doesn't fit the standard proportions of the loomis method? How would I gauge proportions then? Sometimes prople's proportions deviate from the average. For example, pic related, Ron Pearlman, has a much longer nose to chin length, whereas the loomis method suggests the proportion from the nose to the chin should be equal from to the glabella (brow.)I want to do portraits but unfortunately I think the loomis method is flawed and will create people with essentially the same face.
>>6401642Retard.
>>6403486Here is what Loomis said specifically about the matter. It's not a an absolute law, just one method of rendering the human figure. This is something that always gets brought up with Loomis but he's actually quite flexible, I don't know where this idea came from.
>>6401642what the fuck are you talking aboutthe proportions are examples and every book literally says to just measure something like an eye, an ear, lips, or the width of a wrist or something to do additional, precise measurement.The proportions Loomis provides are default settings. They're not required. Why are you people like this. Why do you guys take all tutorials and books so literally. It baffles me that any human can live their life going "Oh, man. I really want to eat these instant noodles in sauce but the package says 2% milk and all I have is lite. What do I do? Starve?"
>>6401642Omg youre such a fucking retard its painful

>+ Has the best file management system, when you can have all the tier rewards in a single post and users can unlock them as they pledge.>- English translation is incomplete>- Throws Tantrums when people wanna use a credit card cause ''3D CREDIT CARD'' thing>- Everybody keeps sucking up Patreon or SubscribeStar despite one being woke and the other goin Vaporware and FubarI dont trust Fanbox anymore, but why do the best feature has to be stuck on Fantia? also why not using Paypal
>>6403030why would anyone wanna use this japanese sites since they force you to censor art which drives lolicoomers away?
>>6403343You answered your own question. It allows for loli and shota shit when western platforms would straight-up banhammer you for it. Patreon won't even let you post art of imps, goblins, midgets or flat-chested girls because it's considered pedo-pornography in their eyes, even if you don't post it in the platform itself- Their mods check your social medias.
>>6403471Jesus thats psycothic.I tried Fantia and they seemed to finally fixed their english interface and their File/Tier system management is actually pretty cool, you can even look at your files in full from the edit post mode instead of doing so from itself, only downsie is that you might as well rely on japanese followers when they show up since there's been an issue with what credit cards work anf which dont due to the recent stupidity of Aishit (heard something about bypassing with vpn but who is gonna drop 150 a year and just to for that?) and you cannot NOT have a free peek tier and cannot change/delete it.
>>6403072Its because lefties and rebels always leak your shit at Kemono Party.
A shame no foreigners care about Fantia.
>>6404402So it will be just like the music industry, popular shit everyone but (you) loves it

Through the internet, you, along with everyone else, have access to more information than you know what to do with. The sheer amount of people the average person corresponds with, compared to all other ages, would make the incel of yesteryear blush. Parents aspire to give their children a better life through the accumulation of wealth. Their children, born into wealth, know not what to aspire to, and thus they long for an idyllic return to nature. They begin to wear poor clothing, sing songs, imbibe intoxicants and seem to avoid growing up. In their parents eyes, they are lazy. In the mind of the youth, they avoid the hard labors because their mind can't comprehend working for what they already have. I thought I had it bad growing up, I can't even imagine what Gen Z is going through. I at least, am grateful that I had to remember peoples phone numbers and didn't have this insurmountable pressure to "gain followers" and mistake them for friendship. Stop worrying about the future, stop worrying about now, stop worrying about the past. In every problem lies an opportunity and there is no longer a place in this world for deceit (I recognize that bulge!) Start thinking. Stop thinking you need to reply to every notification, the internet is a faux paradigm for humanity, and bad for your health. If there is no culture left, art is dead. If art is dead, make new culture. If there is nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire. Look inward, the very essence of meditation is putting the glare on yourself and being brutally honest. Society burns a man on the surface, but meditation will burn him throughout, to the very core.
>>6404416isnt this kind of racist
>>6400387Humans usually imitate that which is succesful and if you only follow those who imitate successful people you will see the same thing everyday. Curate your follows.
I hate drawing, that is a nightmare for me.I have studied drawing for more than a year.I have longed for creation since I was a child, and I also want to do something during the painful time.(Nothing to do just pain for me)But after trying it out, I can't get rid of ocd and perfectionism.I only have a longing for creation, but I don’t know what I want to draw.I'm also afraid of making any mistakes, and I'll spend hours drawing a line repeatedly just to not make a mistake. I know this is inefficient, but I don't know how to overcome it.I always wonder if my practice is wrong, which makes me unable to stick to any kind of practice.I'm so jealous of people who can draw whatever they wantI really really want to love to draw,but I guess I'm not suitable for painting.What should I do.i really want to draw.
>>6391957don't give up, anon! little by little, you will get better, as long as you persist.the journey is never over, you'll always learn and grow, as long as you want to.
>>6391957i have met ocd fags with much higher drawing skill than you, at this point just kill yourself already lmao
Take a blank piece of paper, and with a pencil, scribble on it for 3 seconds. Then with a pen,try turning part of the scribble into something that the random shapes suggest to you. And as test for yourself, attempt a larger work,and do the required homework. That being approaching the project piecemeal,thinking of the scene and working out how the characters are interacting with each other. Compose on very cheap paper very quickly, rough sketches to place people and props,and the angles of view involved. Then you design the elements of the picture. In sketchbooks, taking your time to be experimental. Then,once you are happy with your final pictures, you can refer to them as you lay out the penultimate work. In this one,Ihad to think about what these Magmamen were like,and the final result is only serviceable, but the 5 previous attempts in my research sketchbook were far worse. Remember that you have no time restraints, so taking the time to try new things is now. Even Davinci liked to draw bits of things.
>>6391957You need to get rid of perfectionism and embrace failure. Get all those mistakes out on paper, the sooner the better. That's the only way to improve
>>6392423No it'ss not good advice.
Having imagination beats any skill you can grind
>>6402742I can feel the seethe behind this post
>>6402710Having imagination and skills, beats imagination alone.
Define imagination

Why does it feels like almost all american comics are colored "the same way" regardless if they're usual Marvel/DC shlock, Image or indie stuff? I feel like the approach to rendering and color choices might be one of the biggest factors in legit differences between western and eastern art, alongside shape design.
>>6403871You're using some nu term faggoty huh?
>>6403885lol retard, let's see a page you colored then captain dunning-kruger.
>>6403549Retard>>6403709Now this guy knows what he's talking about
>>6402707Contemporary "American" comic have shading in the coloring, however, because the colors are done by somebody other than the artist it isn't cohesive. The artist does the inks making it look good in black and white, but the use of these blacks messes up the value profile. That's why flat colors such as >>6402724 look better; it allows the ink work to look good while adding color.
>>6402707coloring tends to be fine if the illustrator does it himself.
thinking about making an artist podcast where I invite popular artists over and ask them shit. The whole schtick is that we would be drawing on a shared (online) canvas throughout the whole thing. How do I go about this, and how the fuck can I even get popular artists on the show? Would just sending a DM work?
>>6404326Tableguy and Brian are kindred tit loving spirits
Tableguy here, would love to continue drawing coom with fucked up proportions and call it "style" and get worshipped by /ic/ begs who will never improve
>>6403092Send me your blog. I'll do the podcast for real. I've done more than just art. I've done music and games too and porn
>>6403092>Would just sending a DM work?try. If you get lucky then that is your first episode. If it is good maybe others will join.Odds of artists jumping on some random's show are pretty low though. It's risky for them as you could just be some weirdo out to create drama (a.k.a. "content") on their expense.
Tableguy here, would do a podcast with my favorite artist Brian Cumfarti.
What would you say are some of the most beautiful non-erotic representations of the female form in the fine arts?
>>6403405not fine art
>>6403405not beautiful
>>6403405...does she cook and clean?
>>6403405ughh
>>6403404The better I get at painting and anatomy the more impressive this gets.
Hey /ic/, I've noticed that many artists here are very lost when it comes to learning art on their own, and the books on the sticky are not very useful, I've seen users from here practicing with those books and never getting any good result. That's why I decided to make this guide after asking a lot of artists friends and by my own experience too. You don't have to strictly read the books in the picture, but i think these resources are the most helpful and complete out of them all. If you're a newbie artist don't hesitate to follow this guide so you don't end up going back and forth like me when learning art. Hope you like it.
>>6403394i dont know if safe, nothing its safe when it comes to ruskies or Tor. I just have an account because it lets you give reviews, download more books per day, save book lists made by other people and make booklists myself
>>6399761It's to cut down competition, retard
>>6403617i know :D
>>6399761OP it's an honor and a privilege to be included in your guide. I really hope it gets saved by tons of anons and sticks around forever so it can haunt me 5-10 years from now.
>>6403203>>6403232thanks
