don't bullshit me how the FUCK do I render skin like this
>>7946957noice
>>7946891>don't bullshit me how the FUCK do I render skin like thisby feeling the form
>>7946891i find it easier to do the blotchy red patches and veins by putting down big zones of color then removing bubbles messily. feel free to add yellows and reds since real pale skin has a lot of variance going on. not a skin render type i go for but that'd be my approach.
>>7952022Ah, perfect, thank you anonAny suggestions on veins or just blue brush and low opacity?
>>7952232np good luck. I set the veins layer to "multiply" and keep it around 20% opacity, that way it always darkens despite going across multiple values. the base color I use for it is a light desaturated green, almost grey.
What grade would you give my friend's work?
>>7945651>>7945787Just because it's Coraline doesn't mean it's trans.
>>7945637I think it's great. Fits the vibe.
>>7946573peak meme potentialfor a pinata i think that's very good
>>7950390Must be a pretty rad life to have time to do such a thing.
i like it. it has the same creepyness as the other mothers true form
Why is original art of black people so rare to find compared to white/asian?
>>7951636it's exclusive to you and your bias
>>7951564You're in a middle class bubble completely out of touch with the 90% of people who earn less than 60 dollars per month and have a sub 80 iqMiddle class midwits in africa are not normal, they're actually the exceptional eliteUnless you're talking about SA, when I talk about africa I don't even consider SA because it's a totally different world
>>7950891My mom loves those nigerian melodramas, those movies are so stupid. I doubt theres going to be much else in variety until africa advances further>>7951785Wow, is it that bad in africa? Back in haiti the electricity is out 70% of the time but most people still have smartphones. Even people who live in scrap metal shacks have chinesium phones. Piracy is piss easy, I think watching foreign movies legally would be harder.
>>7951952>Back in haiti the electricity is out 70% of the time but most people still have smartphonesSame shit, there were some tribal people living in straw huts on the beach in a smal ltown where I loved and they had solar panels and smartphones>Piracy is piss easyThey don't even know that adblock exists and it's not a language issue at all, they all speak english or french
>>7952112>They don't even know that adblock existsIf youre talking about the websites there may be some haitians that use them, but most haitians only know the big social media platforms like facebook, I dont think they dont know what adblock is either. TV stations would pirate shows like the tom and jerry, looney tunes, french\quebec tv media and air them. Bootleg movie dvds are easy to get your hands on, or were, honestly televisions are less viable compared to phones since the outages have gotten worse in the past few decades. You can also pay people to upload movies onto flash drives or memory cards, I think that method is more popular than dvds now.
my first real drawing after two weeks of daily practice. Rate, hate, debate,
>>7952245SOUL
>>7952245needs loomis
>>7952245Not bad. Fun subject matter and it’s very clear, I’m interested In seeing more of your work.background needs work (even a slight doodle is better than nothing) and the sun is a bit unnecessary imo. I’d say Study perspective s lot if this is the art you want to create
>>7952287thats all i really have except this dumb cat and some uninteresting cubes and hands
I need to progress as fast as possible to make up for the fact that I wasted 27 years of my life paying 0 attention to drawing outside of a few moments when I was in elementary school or kindergarten. What do I do? My age is the biggest thing fucking with me mentally. I just want to draw furries without feeling weird for being old
>>7951665Don't feel too upset over being 27 and just now getting into art. There are plenty of artists your age who have spent their entire lives drawing and suck at it because they either rested on their laurels, got lazy, or never got proper training.If you're going the self-taught route, have no fear: it's the route many artists take should they have the right work ethic. You should only really pay for tutoring or programs if you have the spare money/time for it.Learning how to draw (and paint) is something you can learn in a few years if you fully commit yourself to it. But it takes a lifetime to master the craft.
>>7951682>draw consistently for either four hours every day OR two hours every other dayis this the other way around? or why would 2h every other day be as good as 4h daily?
>>7951665But why? What do you want to do with your drawing exactly? Explain that first.
>>7951665You're never too old to start drawingYou're always too old to be a furryAnyway in my opinion the best beginner tip is to not get mad at your drawings, you're going t be frustrated, calm down, finish the drawing even if it sucks, don't lose too much time trying to make it perfect, it's gonna suck, the next drawing will be a little less worseAnd before some fucker here posts outlier examples of some CWC tier autist drawing for years and not improving, yes of course you need to pay attention and have the awareness of what you're drawing, not just vomit drawings without consciousness like an autist would doIn other words just fucking draw
>>7951862>You're always too old to be a furryt. spends his time watching anime girls

So this is secret, huh? just draw anime slop over mildly interesting memes?
>>7942899Secret to what? Five seconds of fame? Spending the rest of your life posting fake screenshots to pretend like you have huge engagement in hopes of getting actual engagement? Trend chasing faggots are factory-made. Notice how your shill thread failed because not a single person cares enough to ask who the artist. >>7945241Calling them "people" is an insult to humanity.
>>7948399four chins isnt really a sekrit club anymore and i've been on the site since like 09. but thank you for commenting, anon. any shred of attention is another dopamine hit not received cheaply through vidya and other bad habits. you shouldve been able to tell by the good smile racing grill from the DTIYS thread and most recently the frank miller one

Since my early twenties my art has been more or less stagnant lacking direction. My bitter, lonely, oppressed existence in total, crushing nihilism has made it impossible to express anything vibrant or spirited in earnest. My heart simply isn't in it, there always bubble up resentment and disgust as I attempt it.Well it has changed. Or not. I've had bits and pieces of something brewing but they wouldn't come together. Well I finally found an angle. I finally found a vision. This will be the most evil, vile thing ever created by any human. I'm going to pour all my hatred and all of my resentment into it. I'm not talking about some tryhard edgelord visceral shit, though of course there be elements of that to attract interest.I'm going to grab the heart of the observer and twist it until it looks like mine. I'm going to descend the observer into a darkness they never knew existed. You know know all those memes and urbans legends, media which drive people insane? This going to be it.And I know that I can do it, I'm probably the best artist on this retarded board. In fact, I know I am the best artist on this board. Fuck it, the best artist alive. Moreover, I'm self-aware. I know what my retarded points are. I know where to thread carefully.I simply have to break the inertia of my stagnant life and get productive. It will be years of work. With a little luck however, this will end this rotten society. I already have basic shape down of, the "embodiment of "evil"" let's call it.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>7947373ever heard of a blue period, moron. quit trying to be "spirited" and whatever the fuck. make bitter art. be honest with your canvas. this is not rocket science
>>7947404he didn't say you should stop aspiring to making good work, he said you should stop crying like a little bitch
>>7947373tl;dr
>>7947470No one reads in 2026.>>7947549I've been irate for years but I've only been in turbo satan mode for like one year.>>7947579kys>>7947634Furry porn? How compelling. Oh such an art god horsecockpupper6969 drawing inflation cock vore for turbo autists. What you /ic/ cunts never, never, NEVER seem to get is that there is somewhat more to art than rendering the perfect pair of hyper tits maximizing twitter likes and patreonbucks from bottom of the barrel coomer scum.>Get your skills up before wasting your time on a Magnum Opus.I am already more skilled than anyone here. It only takes having a functioning brain. Imagine having one.>>7947647Vent art is only masturbation. What makes all this artwork from the past compelling? It had a purpose.>>7947921No he pretty much said I ought to settle for mediocrity. ou do that while I keep "crying" aka create something emotionally resonant rather than emotionally constipated scribbles whose sole purpose is to "look cool". Or never mind, I know for a fact you're a mindless coomer cunt like every else here. Go jerk off to your furry tits you absolute loser.
>>7947947>No he pretty mu...blah blah blah whhaaaaaa whaaaaaStop cryng and go draw, spineless little bitch.
If you aren't chasing fame, money, and passion projects... Then why the fuck are you drawing?Everything feels like fake engagement.
>>7942109It's just a fun way to pass the time and seeing my art improve and allowing me to create images I like is rewarding!
To see where the story goes.
>>7942109My country is turning into a surveillance hellhole and I want to produce the things I love on my own without customs and police screwing me over.
>>7942109money isnt everything futafag
>>7948423>My country is turning into a surveillance hellholeFunny how this could apply to nearly every country right now
Is there an anatomy book for artists that goes through all the muscles while also having drawings worth copying? I'm looking for something that could teach me the basics so I could construct figures from imagination, very often books are too technical without illustrating how the anatomy should be applied or they only have drawings without explaining the muscles. I need both.
I mentioned only muscles but I also mean the underlying skeleton, which is as, if not more important
not really, you'll have to study from multiple sources
>>7951910I can't seem to make it work when I juggle subjects and sources, I need something that could carry me from start to finish, some kind of structure, surely there has to be something that could fill the gaps
I love drawing, I always have, but lately I've been feeling demotivated due to my lack of skill despite how many years I've been drawing. I've returned to my studies but I don't feel like I'm making as much progress as I'd like. How do you deal with this? So far I've been coughing it out, but I don't want to end up burning out either.
>>7946695I relate to this, I've also had a lot of unwanted change this year and the things I used to draw for the past 20 years don't excite me anymore but rather embarass me, so I don't know what to draw. I hope to get out of this rut.>>7946709+1, this happened to me this year too.>>7942933Try drawing something more fun or experimental
>>7946206Drawing is not wasting time. Me retard no matter. Me try hard. One day me be good. Japanese speaking sensei is real Japanese. You no Japanese.
Forget "Good".Try for Distinctly Yours.
>>7946843>the things I used to draw for the past 20 years don't excite me anymore but rather embarass meNot that anon but would you mind elaborating more on this? Like most other people on this board, I draw anime girls and stuffs adjacent to it. I enjoy it, I love cute anime chicks as much as the next guy, but I get the feeling that this is something that only my young (25) brain can find interesting. I'm afraid I'll grow out of it, all the while retaining my interest in art, which I imagine would leave me at a loss since I have no other hobby. What subject did you used to draw for those 20 years, how/what happened that changed your opinion on it? And I know you said that you still haven't found a way of dealing with it yet, but what things have you tried so far?
>>7942933never doom nigger
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>7949903Most people dramatically underestimate what 5-10 years of legitimate CONSISTENT INTELLIGENT EFFORT can do. Simple as. Most people would achieve an advanced level of skill within that timeframe. Period.Pointing to either extreme of those who are abysmally untalented or those who are geniuses as rationalization for not trying, is just a cope by the intellectually lazy who have already given up on themselves because they saw the effort and dedication it'd take and said they rather not. It's what sickens me about the crabs on this board. Legitimately about 90% of the people on this board can achieve an advanced level of skill within 10 years with just an average amount of talent.
>>7940514the fun of pushing something until it breaks
>>7940514Chinese render slop, there's a reason if AI is extremely good at making drawings that look like the one on the right
Never trust these "improve"tards, most of them are straight-up lying.They just found one shitty low-effort doodle they made in the past and want people to believe it was their best work and that they’ve improved rapidly.
>>7940514stop blackpilling
Why are so many artists drawing women so thick and bottom heavy nowadays?
>>7950487This has been debunked
>>7950534Might been that breadwinners fangirl

>>7951718Kek, that image.
>>7949509You are a pedophile if you are attracted to this btw
Someone please do breakdown of torso, hip and legs I'm going insane ,ÓÒ
But keep in mind that drawing from life is essential to understand the shapes and forms cuz your eyes perceive stuff in 3d. Not even mirror helps, yep, you'll have to ask someone to pose for you, anon

Thought on the man? How /beg friendly is he? I heard he recommended stuff like drawabox which was a turnoff.
>>7951800>>7951813Confused. So should me learn from Hampton book or not?
>>7951825Doesn't matter. You're NGMI.
>>7951813This nigger judge books by it's cover?
>>7951836With Art books? Yes.
>>7951800>>7951783>>7951753>>7950658>>7951826Convinced. Me go with Hampton. Me feel form in all his sketches.
