I was using this program and it is full of errors and on top of that it was made by a troon. Are Corel Painter and Rebelle 7 better options?
>>7729868>>7729937my one qualm with them is that just because they're trans, EVERYTHING EVER HAS TO ALSO BE TRANS. do you know how hard it is to find cute fanart/fanfics of my favorite characters when 60% the time I'm sifting through sluge of the characters randomly turning trans? does moderation not exist anymore? christ
>>7729868Just cause bad trans people existing doesn't mean I assume they're all bad
>>7729903Try not to poon out, world is better with you as a stinky fujo
>>7729937The problem with trannies nowadays are the ones you see online are clout chasing activists, public figure and weirdos. There's good amount of well-adjusted trans people but you don't see them shouting from the rooftops because they're actually busy doing shit. Actually, the problem always comes from people who are activist first and whatever their profession is secondary. That's why whenever you see faggots that has to put in xe/xer with that rainbow flag in their bio, there's a decent chance it's one of those slacktivist type that you shouldn't really bother with
I miss Elfwood, bros. For those who don't know, it was a fantasy and science-fiction art community that was killed by DeviantArt. I found some of my favorite artists on Elfwood.
>>7729133Same, miss it so bad. Lots of the work was garbage, but it was still far more comfy than the endless scrolling autogenerated bullshit we're apparently stuck with today.Hell, at this point I even miss old DeviantArt. The new version is garbage and unusable.
Yeah, it rocked. I made a lot of friends there but over the years we drifted apart solely because of the way social media functions now.There needs to be a new portfolio site that isn’t artstation but also filters out AI/anime trash
>>7730117>isn’t artstation but also filters out AI/anime trashTegaki. But the reboot isn’t anything like the original, and even the latest version has been down since earlier this year.
>>7729133Don't worry, tons of other sites and communities fucking died. the only thing comparable now is some weirdo Discord server we'll never know existed. The internet is just not the thing it used to be

Made with libresprite, any advice??
Today, I made del from animal crossing :D
>>7727622>>7727626Thanks anon. You’re game looks great btw
>>7730074It's not mine anon, it's Songs of Conquest, I just found the trick they use neat. I think some Zelda game did the same.
What does /ic/ think of my latest work?Made this last week after not drawing for about a month.I do recognize that something is off with the gesture and colors, but I would like for someone to describe what exactly makes it look off and how I can improve. Looking for any critique beyond just gesture and color of course.If you think it is slop, tell me why you think so.
>furries will pay 500 dollars for this
>>7727115the actual image itself is very simple and crude, but your line-work is VERY good. you could make good money as an inker if you wanted to. you've got line weight variation that isn't jittery or uneven. i got filtered hard by pen pressure and now i do pixel art and blender.
>>7727115Read the Vilppu Drawing Manual then draw the hands and feet, coward
>>7727115Hii, I love your character and think it has a lot of potential :3I'm just a studient at the moment and not a profesional at all but if you asked me the posture is too rigid and kind of unnatural and and with the colors, the blue really crashes with the whole pallette, I'd replace it with more purple and I'd make the purple a little less saturated and darker.Try not to hide the hands I know they're kind of scary to draw but if you never draw them you won't learn how to, and it feels a little unconfortable (I struggle with hads too, they're a nightmare T-T).Also, you could try to put color in your lineart, I think it would really upgrade your drawings.Hope this helps and good luck! :]Btw english is my second language so sorry if I have bad grammar.

apologies in advance, not a very familiar poster, but I've done collage art for the better part of the decade. unsure of what board, if any, would be ideal (or most preferable?) to post collages on. couldn't find related threads, but am curious in a general sense, pls and ty
>>7730071That is perfectly fine to share on the DAD site if you’re doing them regularly. Try /alt/ general too.
the anime style because the one that the majority in ic immolates themselves to replicate is oversaturated, yes, oversaturated, so much so that while you try to make your attempts millions of Asian people do it better than you and still do not succeed, if being good drawers they fight to get a fucking scholarship at the art university both in China, as in South Korea and of course Japan, not only that, but now the AI is absorbing the entire industry and oversaturating the style and leaving millions of those Asians without work, so the question is what the fuck are you wasting your time on this ??? The American comic went through something similar in the 90s with the oversaturation of poorly drawn garbage printing and never recovered in fact to this day the American comic is a zombie and even worse, that shit of disgusting calarts was created that nobody wants to draw, but as a reflection, don't you deserve to create something better, something that leaves a mark on this world ????
The strangest part is that /ic/ begs don't seem to care that they're c'ucking themselves by adopting someone else's style. Have some fucking pride.
>>7730115I don't draw anime style stuff because its popular . This shit runs deep bro. Go draw some cowboys or something.
>>7730115>what the fuck are you wasting your time on this ???I don't, I draw in my own "style" that harkens to Russian and French tradition, get fucked animetard
>something that leaves a mark on this world Just draw porn, at least one person will still have your drawing on their PC long after you've passed.
>>7730115I've also always thought it's the style to least likely get you work - why would someone hire an artist who emulates a Japanese artists when the could... just hire a japanese artist?
Hard workbros...

Its silly of me to say it but his work has the type of autism that scratches the brain right while lighting a fire for my /fit/ martial arts side. Say what you want about him. Call his drawings gay, stupid or unappealing but the man made this stuff for 30 years and it put a roof over his wife and daughters heads and now he's got grandkids and his daughter, Paru is becoming just as successful as him. I know it's cringe gushing about him but I hope I can reach his level of human anatomy and art skills. Though with less of the rape autism stuff lol.
>>7729513I only feel like that when im struggling with ideas for what to draw but from what your saying I'm guessing your just bored. If you wanna excuse to burn time try to do some drawing exercises to keep your mind sharp.
ive seen no-draws get more work as icon makers with their non-existent skills than a lot of grinders. I grind for fun though
>>7729534
>>7729454I think the trick is to follow what Milt Kahl said, "I can't think of 2 things at once". I've started to train myself to turn off the music and the Youtube videos on the side. I've started at 10 minute intervals, with the goal of going 2 hours while only focusing on art.
I'm getting paranoid abt the art business and shit, how the hell do i get my stuff to even get fucking acknowledged? I know it's all about the effort and persisting. But i really believe this might just be the luck i was born with, i wanna quit so fucking bad, Yet i can't because realistically this is the only thing i can do in a good and unique way, and it's kinda sad that it seems like nobody recognizes it. It's been a year since i ended HS and at this point the only thing i feel that i can do is kms or become a wagecuck.Any advice for my art to not do any of the ladder? Ngl i don't know which is worse, it being a luck issue or it being a skill issue>>Image related (My newest artwork)
>>7729209Put most of your effort into quality. That's what you can control the most. Brand, distribution, and market fit are also controllable to an extent, so research them and use common sense (e.g. don't put together a portfolio of arachnid drawings because very few clients want that). The market is hard to crack but not THAT hard if you're sensible. And obviously, there are different degrees of "success". It's easier than ever to get *some* work in art but harder than ever to make a full-time living at it. There's a saying among illustrators: be a pleasure to work with, be flawless at deadlines, be great at art; if you have two out of three, you're in a good position.
>>7729186get a job and save yourself from being one of the dozens of miserable faggots spamming this board with their self-loathing and unfinished wip shit
>>7729202I'm not that anon but I just want to say that I like your style. You're still young. Most people waste their 20's anyway. I think most of us creatives are struggling mentally right now. It's uncertain times for illustrators and painters indeed but there is no telling how the future will pan out. Those who put in the work I reckon will always find a way. People appreciate you more than whatever an algorithm shits out. If you feel like this is something you have a passion for (which it seem like to me) you probably will regret quitting and possibly pick it up again 10 years down the road.If you can spend your time wisely and build good routines you'll be way ahead of your peers. Soak up all the information you can on how to go about reaching your goals. Set clear goals and find ways to reach them.Here's a good idea; find artists who stream that you admire and be a fly on the wall. Dave rapoza live streams on youtube and drops a lot of good advice.Keep developing your style but also couple that with focus on improving your fundamentals such as anatomy-gestures, color and perspective. You feel like you're strapped for time but you're just starting out. You have time to change your mind still. Enjoy drawing if that's what you want to do but treat time as the most precious resource you have. Your future self will thank you for this.I think now is the time to either double down and invest in yourself of throw in the towel.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>7729186step 1 is to make something worth acknowledginginb4 "but [shitty artist] did it!"and there are literal drooling retards with supermodel wives. but if YOU want a supermodel wife, you gotta work on yourself (or your bank account) first.

So what was he doing from his teenage years until he turned 27?
How do you even make money as an SFW artist these days? No one commissions me no matter how hard I shill myself, and my portfolio covers portraits and character illustrations. I'm not even bad, am I genuinely left to rot after investing years into this shit?
>>7730125No, I have a feeling companies are looking to get rid of people, not hire them
>>7730126Ok well there's your answer and therefore you get no money.
>>7730132You don't have to spoonfeed me in a very precise way, but realistically which companies hire actual artists these days? I only hear about layoffs, big businesses kick artists out because they're satanic and greedy, small businesses use AI because it's cheaper and they make shit anyway. Realistically how do you even get a job now?
>>7730088first gain success and then start hiring commissions.
>>7730088pyw
If you're on a break after drawing and feel like sharing what's on your mind about what you're working on, the industry, things that excite you about art, or anything that frustrates you about drawing or the process of art then grab a cup of water and chill out here.Remember to keep discussion on-topic as much as possible.
>>7729981I dont let myself eat until I draw something.
>>7730000This is just being an artist, dude. You have to lean into the cringe and just draw. You're probably too hard on yourself anyway.
>>7730000Just do what I do, delete it AFTER people shit on it, that way Im 100% its not worth being out there.
>>7729128learning to love myself and by extension appreciate my own stuff and forgive my shortcomingsalso never stopping. and also just drawing for fun mostly
>>7730000Sometimes you just need to stop caring and play schrodinger stuff; post your drawing, close the app, bunch of notification will buzzing up your phone, you turn off the phone, then you go back to your desk, draw another stuff, do the same thing, rinse and repeat. Not everyone have the will to be some online celebrity artist like shadman or khyle; some people, most people, just want to post their stuff online and call it a day, and there's nothing wrong with it
