>What is this?CRAB is an OCT where artists submit their OCs and participate in a three-round tournament where they are pit against an opponent to fulfill a prompt's task over the other. There are three rounds and thus three prompts that an artist must fulfill featuring their OC facing off against another OC using the theme and prompt as their guideline for content.>How many people are participating?40 people assorted into 8 teams with waitlisted contestants for spots that open up in-tourney due to dropouts or sudden departures.>How long will this take?From May 17th to Aug 29th.>Random art battles?CRAB has had animations, VNs, DOOM.WADs, and more submitted as entries in the past, that's where the 'random art' comes from.>How does this work?Main organization is done on Discord but it is not a requirement if you want to stay thread-only, however you do have to host your entries on catbox or other image hosts to be voted on by other participants.

>300 followers>post a finished high effort piece during peak hours >post the process next to it >ask a question about the art to get people to engage>10 views in one week I have no idea how this shit works lol
>>8066145I agree with you in this sense, at my peak I was getting $800 a month back when you could get commissions on /aco/ as noname. Since they banned the commission threads in 2022, it became incredibly hard to get commissions unless you already have tens of thousands of followers. To this day I don't know why commission threads were allowed there for years but got forbidden in 2022
>>8066143i just said something along the lines of 'im no spambot im just an artist tryna pyw my work'i figure sending multiple appeals in quick succession will lower my chances ironically enough
>>8066147Yeah. Getting commissions on Reddit or Twitter is pointless. There's too many people, and as an unknown you're bidding against all of them. It's also why trend-chasing doesn't really work anymore. Even a couple years ago you might've gotten a couple thousand followers from doing flavor of the month shit, but it's so standardized now I can't really fault anyone for not giving a shit.
>post a pineup>Get 1k+ likes but less than 100 retweetAny idea why that happened?
>>806620910% of your views will be likes10% of your likes will be retweets10% of your retweets will be followersRoughly. It's to be expected.
Do you use Gogh or Spirit City to keep productive while drawing?
i like the new update you can give your loli sh scars and facial piercings and a womb tattoo
Looking forward to this one
>>8046992What does Gogh actually do to make you remain productive? I'm interested but I feel like I don't get it.
>>8066026it has a pomodoro timer built in and a list/task tracker, but of course you can get those anywhere. I enjoy the artsy aspect of building or seeing other people's rooms and avatars social aspect.

>>8065887I assume it's 2s, so I would advise to change the frames in the middle to 1s to make it look like he is accelerating during the spin. Right now there's overly strong acceleration in the last half, while the actual spin is very slow

I would like to make at least one episode of pic related, although I would like to do several. It would be a lot of work. It's a comedy I thought up.
Wat nou? Seems like all the attempts to replace ArtStation and Twitter failed, in a few years we can expect the same from Bluesky
>>8065291>Seems like all the attempts to replace ArtStation and Twitter failedThis was never an attempt at either -- it was an attempt at recreating tumblr before it went to shit.If we're talking social sites we're interested in, I'm rather optimistic about Haven.social when it comes out, but we'll have to see if they achieve even half of what they're claiming to do.

Submit an art teacher then let /ic/ scale their power level.We scale new and old teachers here.We scale them based on how well they can teach. That's it.(Also not my actual tierlist btw)
>>8057579Sloptuber. You're not going to get that much from pikat. You're just basically going to get some breadcrumbs. Why not go straight for the better options.
>>8057579her rendering is subpar, but if your goal is to draw characters there is some worthwhile content for beginners.

fursuit studies
ITT pencils only you like
>>8060759Option 2 is you're talking about two different type of pencil - graphite pencils versus charcoal / chalk oil base pencils.Oil base drawing pencils use charcoal, chalk or similar traditional pigments with some mix of oil and other binders to create a deep black, white (or sepia, sanguine) coloured pencils, for traditional drawing with a material that is less messy. Normally, these materials leave a lot of dust and are easy to smudge. Also the cores are stronger.You can also get pencils with compressed charcoal cores or compressed chalk cores, and these are still quite messy, and also delicate. The tips can break easily.
>>8060967>>8060969thanks for the detailed write up. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. Looking at the set i purchased it falls under option 1 where the difference in the sets was just as you said was the range of pencil sizes.
>>8054336which one is it again
>>8065980HB sketchers be like: yup, that's dark enough. I can see that.
so... when can I start drawing without the grid?
it looks useful but i just feel like every single artist i admire has never ever done it
>>8066060yes or if you want perspective added then cubes, spheres, cylinders etc...
>>80660933 artists I admire did it and are gods. For me though it was to solve 2 big problems. and now i can logically do it gridless
>>8066100do you just draw a grid for everything you want to draw now? how does drawing specifically what he tells you to help
>>8066101>do you just draw a grid for everythingwut no? i said i can do it without a grid now cuz i js tried it and i for the most part solved the 2 big problems i was facing when i was doing my normal studies. >how does drawing specifically what he tells you to helpidk you break stuff up into simpler shapes so you're not overwhelmed with all the detail and the grid is just there so your proportions arent giga off and to make sure ur lines are crossing through the right coordinates which helps you perceive the angles more accurately i think. once your eyes and thought process are calibrated to how you're supposed to solve these problems, applying it should come pr naturally to you
Gonna motivate myself into drawing daily so i am starting this thread for records.Today i did some elipses and boxes and peter griffin by memory as a treat.
