It's starting in a few days and the event lasts the whole of July. Are you joining in this year?
>>7223353Finished a mass attack yesterday and still working on >>7218875I am drawing/painting every day yes but I tend to be pretty slow so my main thing this year is to speed up a bit but still get some quality/learning from each peice.
>>7223353Fuck no. I've got a full time job. If I can get three to four attacks per week I'm happy
>>7223771i like it a lot!
You do have characters that people you attack can show their gratitude to by returning an attack, dont you anon? It would be really selfish if you only attack and never give the chance to defend.

I've been procrastinating on my comic for two fucking weeks. If I don't finish a page tonite I will kill myself. That's the challenge I've set.
>>7223613lol that was me to myself last night about today. Well it was more like a couple days not working but I still felt guilty...but the page I'm working on today is going well so I get to live!
>>7223500Yeah I bet theyre digusted by making more money
>>7223613I also have been procrastinating more than i should, but the good thing it's that i spring back right at it, i was going too slow trying to do the full pages with took me some time to finish, but now i'm just going on doing the background lineart and i have done 6 pages in 2 days, and i'm finally about to finish the stairs scene, wich was the last one that needed so much precision, from now on i just need to do rubble, more rubble, and you might not believe this, but more rubbleAlso some puddles
>>7223613>>7223819>didn't read the "i'm kill myself" part>post that pictureI'm sorry anon, i forgot to say in my post that you shouldn't push yourself to fully finish your pages, instead just go doing some full steps first, that why i post that picture

>>7223413Nta but sincerely the level of dumb politicization in socials is starting to annoy me. I thought only a few people in fucking 2024 was actually retarded enough to glomp down entire ideologies and use unironically stuff like male gaze and patriarchy, but god damn. A good majority of artist are self declared communists ready to tone down any of the infinity of atrocities committed by commie regimes because the right is always the bad guys (nb nazis came out of the german socialist party)I believed naively that one and almost half century later artists, so self doubting, wouldn't had embraced this hard something so fucking stupid without any question or at least were wise enough to call themselves out of propaganda after seeing so clearly in any history info that every single fucker screaming slogans is either a manipulative psycho or a fucking retard, but christ how much I was wrong.Jesus fuck the whole "most people in the world just mimicks sounds and expressions, their heads are fucking empty" was real. Most people really don't care, they just want to feel in the right, point at the bad guy and avoid any ambiguity.
>>7160780do you have characters/biases? could I bribe retweets off you?
>>7223442I'm getting kind of tired of how every social media is just people arguing now. I don't like posting on instagram nor tiktok for this reason. It feels like 6 out of 10 instagram reels I get is rage or engagement bait or a discourse invitation despite regularly tapping not interested every time I get a reel like that
>>7223442there are unironically plenty in the art community that have not accomplished anything and thus turn to art. there are the same people clinging to japanese culture because they despise their culture so much. those people only see the advertisement of communism and never read marx's books. they disavow all of the 20th century happenings brought along by "towards to victory." and somehow many of them are more prude then religious people. Anon, the one meme people really get triggered by more then being called a normie (which is usually older people anyway), is being called an 'NPC.' Why? Because it's true. More true than anything they try to cling to.
>>7223506Dunno really didn't see anything lately except the Palestine thing>>7223637>Why? Because it's true. More true than anything they try to cling toIt's something I genuinely thought was a comical exaggeration, but yes apparently not only is true but also common. And I find it the single most horrifying thing of current day, more than immigrants manipulated into substituting all the blue collar occupation of a country, more than government controlling every instance of your transactions, more than fucking everything, because it means all this internet power and vocal mass is aimed at literally the wrong target and infinitely refraining ego chanbers make it impossible to move on any real target.What the fuck man. This is literally highschool people joining a political ideology without being mature enough to understand all over again. Nothing fucking changes, history really fucking repeat itself- but it's just because people is fucking stupid, uncaring and lazy, what the fuckK this topic is way too articulated, ranted enough for now
Post your work, and the single best piece of drawing advice you have for other anons. Let's make this a good thread.

>>7215701Nice, I think your noses are bringing you down a bit though Also something off about the hair. Maybe it’s sitting on top of the head and not really looking attached enough
>>7222860Socials? I really like your art style. Always love messy sketches and wobbly outline, it added personality to drawings.
Draw what you likeMake a piece and do best you canThen note down all your biggest flaws and go study them with few other things you want to learn and then applyHere main struggle was proportion, shoes, flat looking gun and folds

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxg5LzFw-_gI thought it was just some trolling, but it was true. Adobe is capturing your private work in Photoshop, everything you do in the software. And they have been doing this for more than a year in secret.Bros, IT'S SO OVER.
>>7221971>ass rape my bank accountIt's 10bucks a month, you don't just tag that to your comm price?
>>7219031Kek. Sadly most of these big companies can only profit from mass data collection. Their response would be "we simply steal too much to monitor what all we steal," and it would work. But if you're Peewee Herman or some random schmuck who downloads TBs of porn en masse and accidentally wind up with CP? You bet your ass you're getting fucked. Laws are designed to favor companies.

Ummm I'm 30 now so can I still get good at drawing so I can join art discord to make friends? This is a very super duper serious question
If anyone here wants an online friend to draw with/discuss drawing, I am willing to pick it up again. Have been toucing grass a lot and interest for drawing fell for a while, but I'm optimistic about the existence of a buddy being there motivating to do it a few times a week again.Pic related, my artDiscord: gin1234
>>7223746....bro you're still here? Are all the oldfags secretly still here?
>>7223748Idk man, maybe I have ADD or something but I completely forget 4chan even exists and sometimes it pops into my head like "huh, is ic still going or is it dead?" then I check and feel guilty for not having drawn anything in 6 months
>>7212758you can get good at drawing but only roblox kids use discord. you can befriend them if you want, but you gotta have a high iq to understand wtf a skibidi toilet is.

>>7219718The eyes of Alessio are coming up quite lively and three-dimensional. I feel that you're starting to get a pretty good hang of the manner in which the curvatures of the eyeballs intersect the planes of the notch comprised by the orbital cavities:https://skillsupschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/42-1086x1536.pngAs for drawing tips regarding the upper eyelids, my suggestion is that you imagine them as if they were akin to the sliding visors of helmets, and that you always try to keep in mind the contours of the ocular globes underneath. A simple method of visualization is to start by drawing the eyes as they would appear if they were closed, but with the lashes absent, as well as with the upper creases fully outlined, and then "pull up" the eyelids by delineating their inner margins at the desired level of aperture:https://i.gifer.com/6Fhb.gifBesides that, personally, I think that making the outline of Alessio's furthermost cheek just a tiny bit rounder/chubbier would make him look slightly more youthful, and therefore even cuter, but that's really a matter of taste. To the same purpose, I consider that it wouldn't hurt to shorten by a couple of pixels the noses and chins of both Matteo and Alessio.Lastly, since it's often true that pictures are worth a thousand words, here are a few artworks that could be useful as references, specifically in order to help you polish the current facial layouts of your characters.For Matteo:Comment too long.

Does anyone have a good step by step tutorial on setting up Clip Studio Paint to Work on Linux? I tried following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDfKwF19wOAto try to get it to work on Debian 12 and it runs okay, but for some reason whenever I lift up my pen CSP stops sensing anything and I have to close and re-open the program to get it to work again, but the same thing keeps happening. Does anyone know why? I use to be able to run it off my old laptop a few years ago with no issues but I've since upgraded both my computer and my drawing tablet (currently using a Kamvas 13) and nothing I do seems to work. If you managed to get CSP or SAI to work on Linux any tips would be very much appreciated.

WIP. Going to finish fixing up the lighting tomorrow.
>>7222905The colors are really nice, I would try to study hard edges and apply it to this piece, airbrush is good but you need to balance the soft parts with sharpness. Not sure if that explanation makes sense so here's a doodle.
>>7222969Thank you, moai-kun :)I wasn't exactly sure how to approach the lighting scheme as it was, so I defaulted to the airbrush. I'm going to give it a shot and see if I can fix some of it up with some harder edges (and probably use a different brush as well)!!!Very cute doodle btw!!!
>>7222905Alright... attempted to fix the edges and add harder edges. Thanks again for the crit (and cute doodle), moai-kun!
Long time no post :)
>There is one thing not to do, and that is simply to drift along with the daily routine, making no extra effort. You will soon find yourself middle-aged, having done nothing more than routine jobs, and being little farther along than you were years ago. The extra effort is the difference between the great mass of mediocre artists and the comparatively small group of very good ones.>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.- Andrew Loomis, Creative Illustration/Studies/ General is all about improving your art and never settling for mediocrity.

>>7218939For a lot of people, making even 50% accurate copies of anime lineart is hard to do. Hell, a lot of people struggle to even grasp HOW you copy, without flat-out tracing. And even once they understand and start to make headway with freehand, no trace, no grid copies, they might never truly gitgud at it. I've been drawing for around 15 years and regularly sell commissions, yet I still struggle with making good off-the-cuff copies.
>>7217915You can't.As everything in life, artistic potential is determined by luck, genetics.There are so many anons on /ic/ in full batshit cope mode about this. It would be sad if they weren't so annoying
