Is it just me? or do brushes feel different on different software? im not taking about performance if its slower or faster, taking about a stroke feels, curved, straight, how the direction and flow of the stroke is made.
Like I feel drawing a circle in CSP is not the same at all as drawing a circle in Photoshop for example. and im sure probably feels different on Krita too.
Is this because of the brush engine? I thought it was mostly a general tablet feature.
Now I wonder schizophrenic if shit like this actually hinders my art or not.
Currently using Clip Studio Paint.

I think CSP feels better to draw and sketch on than photoshop. I think Photoshop feels better to paint with than CSP, but maybe that's just because I'm more used to PS for that.

Yes.

The technical answer would be wasted on this board, but here's the dummy answer.

Your stroke is filtered by 2 distinct interface layers
Brain -> Hand
Hand -> Canvas

The computer adds a third layer, between hand to canvas that we'll just call "Tech"

Depending on the implementation of the tech the brain is given a much different calibration datastream. The simplest example is active stylus tech like apple pencil vs the passive stylus of wacom. The active stylus has to calculate a valid "Path" that it then streams to the computer, which does not occur with a passive stylus, which will instead generate a stroke based on the absolute position of the stroke tool.

tl;dr - Yeah it matters, use Sai. Pic related my strokes.

Happy 4th of july to Americans

If your artwork, whatever it is you draw, becomes illegal in the next few years due to tyrannical westoid govt censorship, digital ID shit and all that, how would you go about posting your work?

They are far more prudish about the US in terms of allowing violent/sexual content. And there’s infinitely more political censorship too. If you care about freedom of artistic expression then China is just worse on all counts. So it’s weird to complain about “westoid censorship” like OP did

It crazy to hiw how relax fucking libs and cons are when it comes to censoring art because some fucking drawing offend them, and its never the crazy shit, its always some lukewarm bullshit like the women's character breasts are slightly bigger than some flat bitch or there butt jiggles physics in the game. And they always retort to the whole "just jerk off to porn bro" when it completely goes against their beliefs in the first place; what the fuck happened to artistic expression?
There was a whole movement of body positivity, body acceptance movement but whenever theres a bombshell or someone with macromastia comes up and they're like "I wanted to be represented too!" They get fucking bullied by the people that are supposed to definded them! A bunch of fuckkng bland assholes that complain about every fucking right being pulled away but if some dude or even some woman wants to draw big tits on a cartoon character, they're like "CENSOR IT! CENSOR IT PLEASE! IT MALES ME BAD FOR NOT HAVING BIG TITS! MY WOMENHOOD IS BEING THREATENED!" Like Shut the fuck up plain janes, you play apart in your oppression too by fucking other women's self image up by acting like you're helping them but in reality you just want them to be as boring as you are! If you eant to have a miserable time, just go to r/mendrawingwomen, a bunch of miserable assholes that complain if even some skinny chick is drawn, "WHERE ARE HER ORGANS!? THE ARTIST IS SO EVIL FOR DRAWING HER IN A SKIMPY BIKINI!" and even if the artist bow down to their bullshit, they will still complain, "HER BOOBS ARE TOO BIG!? ARMOR IS TOO IMPRACTICAL! WHY DOES SHE HAS LONG HAIR, WHY CANT IT BE A BUTCH LESBIAN!" maybe just shut the fuck up and let people draw dude!

Can you draw at all? (Like can you draw a normal ass person standing in an empty room?)
The fundamentals (form, perspective, etc) are going to be the same no matter what you’re drawing. If you can’t draw people then start with people because there are a bajillion resources and references to learn from

Sonichy Chris chan demonstration.

Based on the previous thread:
>>7975885

And for thous who see this picture this can be the
>OOOOOH
Moment to get it since christ chan draws like shit yet he drew this.

However this is the deep dive into the subject.
I am trash myself however after YEAR of orbiting he art community these are the truths no one did spoke about and if they did they got shut down by these le pro artists who will literally lie to your face and twist the truth so hard it is unreal.

This was true for 2000-2020 before AI maybe artists now cooled down because AI is the new threat. However this truth was suppressed either by pros who did not want others to get their crazy skills, by seething upcoming pros, by buck broken no skills who repeated this as the words of god and basically buck broken non artists in some toxic cycle.

The answer why this was suppressed is simple and resembles hunter x hunters SECRET hunter exam if you did see it in the manga and anime is simple imagine you learned the secret of making any picture perfectly. Now why would you want others to learn it? This was enforced by the ones who learned the secret on their own from years of bullshit so why the fuck are you getting it for free if they wasted years of their life before finding it out on their own in all these lies?

WRONG!
In Mein Kampf he says he wanted be a painter however was rejected and the professor told him to do architecture and he failed this because he literally decided to ignore school subjects he did not like so his grades for architecture where fucked.

We can read Mein Kampf however from what I remember he did training is school he implies this I think.

You can read Mein Kampf the first 1/3 is literally an auto biography. And Hitler talking how he was in conflict with his father who wanted him to become a bureaucrat not an artist.

Hiraeth or sensucht, something along those lines. even some whites i know that don't do art have a sort of longing for certain places. i think we've been removed from our natural ways of living and our natural environments, and we have a sort of genetic longing, that sometimes gets expressed in art. this isn't the only reason obviously, but i think it's a part of it.

How much money would I need to obtain an original Van Gogh?

i don't know why people on this board comment on stuff they know nothing about
van gogh only sold one painting not because everyone hated him but because he REFUSED to sell painting cause he thought they weren't good enough
anytime he painted something he would label it a "study" and not a finished artwork to be sold
when he died he had just exhibited in paris and was considered the star of the show.
he was on the cusp of major success when he died. but he was profoundly mentally ill and also alcoholic. he spend massive amound of the money he was given by his brother on alcohol, tobacco and prostitutes
he was his own worst enemy
>>
>>7983328
no he was living in poverty and in and out of asylums because he spent ALL his money on art materials (extremely expensive at the time) alcohol, tobacco and prostitutes
in theory he had a decent amount of money but in practice it was all spent leaving nothing
the median worker at the time is like the subject of the potato eaters they had very little to speak of it was a different era
>>
>>7983810
van gogh painted up to 2 paintings per day, all the masterpieces we know now are painted mostly in a span of ~3 years of manic periods where he worked ceaselessly followed by periods of aggravated mental illness where he needed care in hospitals
no one on 4chan is like that they are mentally ill but they spend the time jerking off not painting crows at night or the the night cafe

There are dozens of his letters detailing his attempts to sell, writing to dealers about selling his work, talking to his brother about him selling his work, lamenting the fact that nobody's buying his work, hopeful notions that any day now someone will buy his work etc etc.
It boggles the mind how and why you "people" come up with these retarded headcanons about things you must surely be aware you know nothing about

I always enjoy these threads, but it really kills me when I see anons shitting on this guy, even though I'm positive that he doesnt give a shit - he surely knows he's good.

You could take any one of his gestures and develop it into a really interesting figure drawing, or some other cool thing.

Why am I getting so tripped up by using this image as a study?
I thought okay, good range of values, not too much going on. Yet I've spent several hours looking at Barrett's face, trying construction and just getting completely flummoxed.
Is this typical /beg/ shit? Is it just a lot harder than I first thought? What's wrong with me, bros?
I did a portrait of Miller the other day after that one study thread, and while when I went to paint it my values were pretty off, the actual representation of form was decently accurate to the source. Yet it's like I'm looking at this and just keep putting out dogshit you'd expect a 13 year old to draw. Why is this busting my balls so goddamn much?

Does the art you post on social media fully reflect ALL the art you enjoy making? Or, is there other art you are passionate about that you keep hidden from the general public?
For me, I post a lot of ecchi-but-not-explicit fanart of stuff I enjoy on my socials, but then privately I draw tons of scat. None of my followers have a clue, and I feel like I'd get mass unfollowed if I ever let it slip.
Still, drawing sweaty fat chicks taking heaping loads of shit is such a cathartic break from the usual FOTM and trendslop I normally draw to pay the bills. Say what you want, but it keeps me sane and loving the process of drawing more than anything.

>>7979185
I feel like my art style is a bit recognizable for the people that follow me irl, I think thats the biggest mistake an artist can do, having people they know irl that follows their art; even if i dont link it because the website search engine will always try to attach your alternate account through recommendations in the algorithms.
A shame really for me, I never really done lewd drawings on purpose but my lewd fantasies has grew much stronger, my characters essentially involving themselves in "milk" parties where they would gather poor women from the kingdoms they own to make them do degrading acts for their families to keep their properties, but the kicker is that these bratty rich vampire girls basically fulfill thier breast destructive fetishes, forcing them into ponyplay scenarios and attach these strange mad max like contraptions on their breasts and feed from thier breastmilk as they get riden like cattle; with one bratty Princess able to dominate an angel into a valkyrie like being, wearing such lewd armor and often rides her like a pegasus into battles as a way to show her power- but its too much for me to handle

There are a few taboo things that I've thought about drawing that would probably get me weird looks from my followers, but for the most part, yeah, I draw and post what I'm into. I think your audience will get way more invested in you and your work if you have a strong niche that you're clearly into yourself

Unfortunately you really need to do that right from the jump, though, as if you randomly introduce shit like that when you've already built up an audience that's used to more vanilla work from you, they'll probably be pretty offput by it
