1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.

2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.

3. It is recommended to let the thread reach page 7 before starting a new one.

all i care about in life is making comics and telling stories, i spend a lot of my time drawing comics, but I fear that starting to work a full time job is going to make it impossible to keep working on them in a timely manner. in which case what is the point of being alive
how do artcucks deal with the contradiction of having to work to create and then not being able to create?

I didn't go to art or animation school because I knew the job prospects weren't good and my art was (still is) not at a high level, and instead got a boring degree that I thought would help me but I now realize is also useless. Sometimes, I wish I was more delusional and that I had pursued art, at least that way I'd be out there chasing something I care about, even if I was failing.

Again, if you're here, either you're giving critique or you're receiving critique. If you refuse to give critique and you're not here to give it, why are you on this board?

Don't answer that, I already know: /ic/ has more eyeballs than /i/. Because you want more people to actually see your artwork, you maliciously post artwork into the critique board as a ruse to get compliments with no intention of taking or receiving critique.

You making a dumb fucking excuse about people not being able to hold a pencil is giga low-iq and shows you don't put much thought into the fucking garbage that piles up inside of your brain.

You can't "just draw", you are limited because what you draw has to have good composition, say something interesting, include something you care about (which is passion/soul) and it needs to be somewhat original. There's only like ten different compositions that are even worth using and maybe a hundred unique poses. When you draw one, you can't draw anything even close to it if you enjoy drawing, you'll want to do something in a completely different direction, so your choices are even smaller.

>5 days ago
Yep, op is probably gone by now but heres my watercolor tip anyway
>start with pan and not tube
brands like maries or koi watercolor pan are good and cheap; holbein is around that price range but they are tube-based, and tvbe is not beginner friendly
>get yourself a big (around A1/A0) sheet of paper from either arches or clairefontaine (around $6/sheet)
>cut the big paper sheet down to several A5 sheets to swatch and practice your stuff
>ignore paper block or watercolor sketchbook (for now)
>avoid using cell paper like canson montval paper and always use the cotton based paper like arches, clairefontaine, saunders waterford, hahnemuhle, and canson heritage instead (the last three brands are more expensive than the first two)
>brushes brands are irrelevant, but its always nice to have a one mop brush around to wash and paint the entire mood
>learn about sizing, stretching, lifting, and other jargon in watercolor culture
>>
>>7909972
I think along the lines of the French painter who said that it took twenty years to learn to draw and one hour to learn to paint... brushes are more important than colours but both must be of a certain quality.
>>
>>7910284
Why would you not recommend a block to a beginner?

Also speaking of lifting and sizing, no one in the thread has mentioned yet how certain brands of paper are going to be either better at lifting or better at glazing due to the nature of how they size their paper. Just something to watch out for
>>
>>7909972
he's not gonna grow up thinking you gave him shit, he's gonna grow up thinking these materials are what's good and their failures are entirely on their own if they can't use them right
that the watercolor materials that fight against you using it is actually how watercolor is supposed to work like
>>
>>7910374
>Why would you not recommend a block to a beginner?
Sheets are more flexible than block.
A big watercolor sheet can give you a bunch of papers, with bunch of papers you can experiment with watercolor, swatching your colors, and paint stupid stuff like apples or grapes to make yourself comfortable with watercolor, underpainting, paper texture, and its character and behavior be it a cold press, a hot press, or rough. Not to mention learning about stretching and kraft-taping that thing on a board will do you something good (not a thing on a block but hey sometimes you need to learn the basics)
In terms of cost, sheets are more cheaper than block. A single big 100% cotton watercolor sheet will cost you around $5-12 depending on brand; a single watercolor paper block will cost you around $25-80 depending on brand and size.
>Also speaking of lifting and sizing, no one in the thread has mentioned yet how certain brands of paper are going to be either better at lifting or better at glazing due to the nature of how they size their paper

Hello /ic/!

I've obtained a prescription for (generic) Adderall and wanted to experiment on how it affected learning to draw. I opened this thread to document my progress and for everyone else's observation / amusement.

My goal with this thread is to simply take an Adderall and draw for at least a couple hours a day and post the results. Realistically I may miss some days. The hope is to keep these threads ongoing until I'm either satisfied with the progress documented, or I crash out.

Probable Questions:
>Are you actually diagnosed with ADD / ADHD?
Yes, ADD. I believe inattentive. Been diagnosed since 2003 but never treated long-term.
>How old are you?
31.
>Do you work?
Yes. Full time with a very emotionally draining job.
>Are you on the spectrum?
Undiagnosed but I'm pretty sure. High functioning if so.

suggester here, your friend’s right in that it requires a lot of ideating like staging, perspective, understanding of tech and concept design, consideration of the narrative backing the ship’s design choices and janitor’s costuming, and introducing these designs consistently into your scene, etc., so it’d be positively giving your brain and skills a real workout, but your dividends would require a comparable level of effort, dependent on how far you want to push each element. so yeah! no worries at all if you’d like to do something else. [this is just the sort of request i’d love someone to give me.] do whatever you feel like going for, dude. you’re doing great, however you go, with all of this admirably hard work.

whoa, awesome work, it came out so well, and the storytelling’s great. you embedded so many fun details, like the labels, the shape design of the door, the light fallout in the liquid on the second obscured figure, the military-grunt style of clothing, the broken capsule, the line of broken glass and outstretched hand - to the viewing window framed by the focally leaning janitor’s legs-and-broom - to the just-opening door framing the escaped specimen?/infected human?..
so much work, efficiently invested in all the most ideal places, great job.

Whenever I sit down to draw I tend to get distracted with other stuff, but I searched online and saw that some people just draw shit for like 5+ hours straight, and they enjoy it so much to the point that they get aggravated when they have to stop.

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

The chapters I read in Keys to Drawing taught me to draw what I see, not what I THINK I'm seeing.
I'm still piss poor at gesture drawing, anatomy and using building blocks (or whatever that method is called) at drawing characters.

I used this as a guide(There are 7 pages, this is just one of them) to help me me build the body, and then I erased it, and attempted to draw the right proportions over it.

I'll try again using your method, thanks!
