>>8023208Reupload, I don't use that shit, I'm anon.
>>8022542also didn't really think about how the 3 subdivision method generalizes to any odd (N+1) subdivisionkinda neat
what do you do when you're in a doomer period and it feels like no matter how much you study, it's pointless. i've already tried taking a break
>>8022213>>8022501>>8022021these comments especially are right. nobody who's good at something got good by fucking around and pitying themselves and not trying even when they didn't feel like it. thank you bros

>>8022019Go trough every drawing you've ever made (set aside a lot of time for this), pick the pieces you actually feel good looking at¸ the ones that make you feel something, then do more of that, even if it doesnt seem like the most "optimal" practice.Regardless of what you are drawing, you are always training some fundamentals and developing visual library (the latter especially if you are drawing a lot of the same thing, and you're using references which you obviously should be). You are also developing "general intuition for what looks correct". You can autistically study anatomy and construct everything in an assembly line method using boxes and grids and shit, but if you just drew a ton (while keeping a few things in mind, like perspective, doing controlled sketching, using references), you would improve quickly. A lot of the things artists struggle with can be solved by just "Drawing 100 of it", rather than spending a ton of time setting up these box assembly lines and wondering what the correct way to even study it. Also make your artwork visible to you. When drawing traditionally you can tape stuff to the wall. When drawing digitally this is harder, but maybe you can put it all on your desktop.
im in a worse situation because i havent progressed at all since february and in the mean time my brain lost any will to improve. It all feels pointless. How does one rape this mindset? It feels like drawing is more like a job and i fucking hate this. I gave myself one month of break but it didnt help. Any other ways to move on from this?
>>8022019because you probably do 1 drawing per month or worse>taking a breakyep
being a /beg/ is literally the hardest stage of drawing and it's not even close.
>>8022135i got it, it's just that its fucking retarded and not at all something that can be generalized because an actual adult will know that if they want to keep doing what they do, they'll eventually get better at it.Only kids firmly believe there is no tomorrow.
Not really, you have a clear direction to go and you know for a fact you have room to improve. Its already laid out for you. The worst position to be in is high /int/. You are finished studying, anything else you study will be a hyper focus niche and the returns are inconsistent. You are carried purely by motivation and compulsion because you know how much energy and time a drawing takes. And if you made it, then you are trapped drawing forever. If you have nothing to say, you can't just draw nothing. Its your job, you have to draw.
aren't permabegs just begs who accept/ take pride in being begs? i'm honestly curious how much being ngmi comes down to identity
>>8020203It does. People's mistake is starting with resources that are way too "hard to digest", or way too hard to actually apply to a drawing. You can stitch together pretty good drawings just by following 15 second YouTube shorts "how to draw manga eye" tier tutorials. Start with the most low iq, "give a man a fish" tier content, and you will progress quickly.
>>8022059This is me except after I threaten to kill myself I go back to drawing

>>8021908Did you mean Mai from Tekken?
>>8021179Neck and head seem a bit too small for the body
>>8022054new WIP (same process)
>>8020952and then everyone clappedin 7th grade the most a kid could draw is a stickman
>>8009838Because a lot of the fandoms I am in are content starved and dont get a lot of fanart period, muchless porn fanart. It makes people happy to see the character they like doing things they find attractive and I like making people happy. Plus porn has just been a good motivator to draw generally. It forces me to draw new kinds of clothes, characters interacting, vague backgrounds, unique poses, and overall something different every time. There are only so many times I can draw a character I like looking spooky in a hallway or recreating a preexisting scene. But every time I finish a porn drawing there are 50 other things I can draw with those two characters in 500 diff ways, and that's not even considering adding a 3rd or 4th character
do y'all agree with this
>>8021307I mean, there’s really not that many ways to draw appealing cartoon style faces. Id argue anime styles are worse for having characters with the exact same face. Also if you look at Disney, all their female characters have the exact same big eye face proportions and are engineered to be as appealing as possible.
>>8021307isn't this just speedoru?
>>8021315how the fuck do i instantly know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, like a direct injection to the veins, like lightning, that the artist and the audience for this shit is brown
>>8021307I like Kinkymation but most of her stuff feels like the same characters in different costumes
>>8021307This feels like it's drawn by someone mad that their own NSFW doesn't get the traction they want.

>drawing with lines all my life>spent 5 years of active practice and following drawing courses with lines>still fucking suck and have trouble grasping the full shape in my head before drawing it>can't project the final form or the silhouette into my lines and always have to liquify after putting them down>composition sucks when I finally color the piece with lots of stray bits that don't belong >say fuck it and start painting with with color and value blocks instead>shit just works right away >easily build up shapes and forms on the canvas and can preview the finished composition right away >work just has dimensionality with no extra effort or major redraws Now I'm glad that I'm not fully retarded to draw, but I still want to be able to draw well with lines since a ton of my inspo artists are lines-first or even lines-onlyIs it possible to transfer this knowledge back to lines somehow or do I just lack the ability to render stuff in my head in advance necessary for successful line drawing?
>>8018482It's ok, render monkey. No need to sperg out.
>>8018638Value and color are actually observable, and can be transferred from the subject to your work. Lines are abstract, and don't cleanly correspond to any particular observable phenomena. You have to figure out how your subject's appearance can be suggested using lines as a medium, which is an extra layer of complication. Drawing with lines is almost as much of a language skill as it is a visual art.
>>8018638That is a red pencil I'm 100% sure. Digital art really fries minds
It's pretty much entirely an issue of being able to visualize before you draw, if you can't visualize beforehand your lines will simply never be good no matter how much you try, practice, correct or liquify them Blocking colors and values lets you experiment and find good looking results on the canvas but will also always be inferior to just being able to imagine good drawings in your head and just put them down
>>8018482if you think of linework as rendering with heavy light exposure and the contours as shadow, you realise that it IS rendering
How do you handle Paypal as an nsfw artist? I get paid directly there and it seems like it's a matter of time before they block me
>>8022588Sorry about any typos im phonepost retarddePatrons give you money because they want to support YOU as an artist. Rewards tend to come second. As for rewards themselves...>Alt versions. If you draw porn this is obvious since you can do simple cum/skin color/facial expression variations>Limit anything you post outside of Patreon to around 1080-2k pixels and put HQ files on Patreon. Now you can put one of those slimy "HQ version on [Patreon.com/MYPATREON]" watermarks on everything you post :^)>Polls, pick media/things that you already want to break into/know will do well and put them into polls. Patrons who pay more get more vote power>Patrons suggest concepts/media directly, either for you to consider drawing or add to polls>Let patrons outright make sketch requests if they pay for a high tier. Like one sketch request a month. Can limit this to simple portrait sketches with no revisions. Patreon lets you set some tiers to have a maximum supporter number too>Prioritized commission slots + discount on commissions >Sketches, unfinished works, things you know you'll never post to Twitter. This is separate from paywalling because these are things you would never upload regardless>Project files, leave them as is or make an effort to clean them up. Unless your brand is about teaching art I consider this a 'low effort' filler reward just to have something to post>If you use CSP or Procreate(?) they can record timelapses. Another 'low effort' reward>Lineart, sketches, Ramblings about your process,WIPSNever paywall art entirely unless you're huge. You can paywall it in a way that makes it so patrons see your art earlier but otherwise it only limits your reach. How I have it set up is, whenever I finish an artwork I immediately upload the image, timelapse and project files to Patreon because I've always scheduled my art to upload at the same times, so it's not like I'm delaying posts.Comment too long.

>>8022642>If you're a good enough artist you can let people request an art critique/1 portfolio review a month or something>Patreon a group chat feature and a Discord integration so you can make a Patreon only server, but I've seen many creators talk about how they regret making a Discord because it lets them know just how stupid their average supporter is + now you have to moderate it, find people to moderate it, make posts in it, deal with people trying to add/DM/ping you... yeah......>When you get really big you can do what some creators do where they limit commissions to patrons only, and have patrons bid on commission slots which can inflate your commissions to insane prices, and that's before the actual price of the commission itself. Basically acts as another filter to prevent poors/tards from commissioning you so that you're only getting top commission whale $$$ from people who have probably commissioned dozens of people before and know how shit worksoff the top of my head thats it... patreon also has a shop feature and you can even mail physical things to people if they pay for the required tier/give you their info but i dunno anything about that.
>>8022499You can send invoices without title and description. Paypal is a payment processor and nothing more. The sale happened somewhere else and your client knows what the invoice is for, making it pointless to give it a title and description.You are 1000x more likely to get into trouble for a sus transaction history, dodged fees or in your case deception.Paypal will never look at your drawings. You don't use Paypal to do anything except handling the payments.
>>8019996most people who get banned off paypal are in third world countries taking commissions but not filling in any sort of info about their location or making a business account or even having a proper bank to transfer it too. Paypal wont randomly delete your account if they see that you're a business account, they will ask for proof that you're paying your taxes before they do that.

Now that I'm getting more into studying other artists and drawing from life in general, how do you develop an east/west hybrid art style that's actually appealing without ending up drawing generic faux-anime? Pic related is something I sketched yesterday
Doodle I drew today at grandma's house btw, tried to follow 90s mecha styles more closely>>8022150Which "core things" would you say are lacking from my art at a first glance besides maybe technical skill? I'm actually intrigued and all ears
>>8020118>>8020120>>8021860>>8022150What is anime exactly?Like, are animations made by chinese and korean studios still anime? What about Yoshitaka Amano style? Or Keisuke Itagaki?
>>8023053It's hard to pin down a solid definition that's so broad as to include outliers like Kaiba, Golgo 13, Panty and Stocking, and so on, while not being so broad as to include things like The Last Airbender, or Voltron, which is why >>8020936 said >You know it when you see it.
>>8023053>>8023062There's a not even remotely vague set of drawing (line/inking) and shape system techniques that make anime what it is, it's all in anime settei.
>>8023019Very simplistic & unbalanced shapes are the core faux anime giveaway.What would be 2-3-4 curves and distinct lines in legit anime is just one smoothed out curve in faux anime. Even if it happens to be more complex than a smooth curve, the distinct lines are is not in the correct places to create a balanced anime level shape.Specifically talking about faces because it translates to everything else, you need to learn to draw anime faces from actual anime settei and try to get it correct. Might seem counterintuitive to you but the newer stuff is easier to learn from.If you never understand this it will always show in your art. It's usually sub-second detection times from the thumbnail alone to spot faux anime in most cases.
what did they mean by this and why is it so compelling?
>>8022575What's there to get? It's a dude. A regal lookin' dude, sure, but still just a dude.
>>8022955I mean I’ve certainly never seen a dude with thighs that wide
>>8022575you need to study their belief/religious inspiration. for example, the eyes sees no evil but it still have vision of the filthy world, that's why the eye slit appears to shut down. The arms and legs should works the hardest traversing the world via working, that's why they're big while the hands and legs are smaller because you're a human and learn your limits and behave. the body represents desires should be smaller because there's nothing good coming out from overwhelming consooming worldly matter including gluttony, envy, and the friends. The crown are obviously the king. the empty holes might've been adorned with gemstones but all is lost now.
