>>7812589I plan on learning to draw at the start of the year using this. What are the alternatives?
>>7839343the alternative is starting with observation. then doing whatever you want to learn
>>7812589You can't really blame him. Someone was bound to realize that there were so many people with a desire to draw well, but no passion, no real goals, no inspiration, no style in mind to work towards, no basic art education in their schooling, never had the curiosity to pick up a pencil and try to draw a character or object in their entire life, but they know for a certainty that if someone holds them by the hand every step of the way they, too, can realize this dream they never knew they had. In typical Indian style he was no way ready to be teaching people when he started, but I think he accidentally fell into a career doing this rather than being malicious

I cannot improve I can’t draw from references good either
>>7836269this isn't drawing though, its painting. Blocking in shapes and then use the select tool to move things and the liquify tool to warp other things isn't drawing either. Drawing is creating lines that show form, without using liquify to fix everything.

What is your opinion on League splash art
>>7839484>>7839514im sorry, whats your argument exactly?that terrible art is better than good art?
>>7829555They're all very technically impressive but not really my style. Although there are stand out ones that I like
>>7839523>if anything, league proves your art doesn't need to be perfect to make a successful product. it helps, but it's never been a requirement.idk maybe learn to read, you disingenuous, illiterate retard
>>7839560if anyones disingenuous its you BROyou talk about league being succesful despite the bad art in the beginning but we are literally talking about the art RIGHT NOWand how skins are selling like HOT CAKE, in particular because the art is good

Has /ic/ ever worked on a visual novel?
>>7838440*not storefront, a JP site like DLsite I mean
>>7838261that's true. i used to be one of these until i read soundless - a modern salem >>7838396that's also true...i have this delusional dream that my game could blow up like ranfren/flesh, blood, and concrete it seems like the best case scenario for a fandom as an english speaking person is to have it be mostly non-english speakers, otherwise you run the risk of getting smacked if you do anything le problematic or le transphobic
>>7838440itch.io has a surprisingly decent internal reach. i used to be on twitter too until they wanted to dox where i post from. i get 2-3k downloads on my games which is decent ig, I would probably get more if I did mobile versions since apparently a lot of players prefer those and renpy does let you export android .APK files. I don't bother with steam I don't think they would let me host lolisho without being annoying about it (itch has been mostly okay despite one massive scare but I just hosted offsite backups for people). I haven't really looked into getting on dlsite but maybe if I find someone willing to translate I'd think about it but I'm unconvinced JP players would be interested in foreign works>>7838551I was one too so of course I appreciate the perspective and don't think ill of them. Just more wanted to give the perspective that it's hard to make a go of it unless you aim for very specific markets or stop caring about success.
>>7836059she should've gotten a footjob scene
>>7836059i’m solo writing/coding/drawing onethe fandom i’m making it for is almost solely japanese and i have no idea how to code so all the complex renpy code i’m stealing makes no sense to mei’ll probably never even get a demo out, but i’m having fun making degenerate cgs and storylines so whatever
What is your thoughts on this barmaid commission I had done by Dennis Fröhlich?
Would you fuck this barmaid?
>>7837856What's an exciting commission then?
>>7837856What do you have against barmaids?
>>7827911Frohlich most likely was used to train ai
>>7839450Nothing, but your roasty doesn't look like a barmaid, but like stacy wearing her grandma's worst dress.Everything but the traced face looks trash and the former looks like it belongs in her rich dad's SUV and not a fantasy world.
Why aren't you doing trad paintings? It seems to be pretty popular now
>>7825523Perfectly sized breasts. Holy fuck genetic jackpot
>>7831452I didn't even know it was AI, if I like a picture I save it, couldn't care less how it was made.
>>7825523Nice body, butter face unfortunately but thats probably just a side effect of being a hagWould love to see what she looked like 10 years ago
>>7825514>>7825523The next step is she draws while riding a giant dildo
bottom of the barrel moids projecting their undying need to whore out once again kek
Any tips on how to create paintings in a loose style? My retarded autistic ass brain always forces me to do tight rendering and high detailing. It takes soooo much time just to finish a fucking piece...I mainly work digitally and i mostly use soft/round brushes, i stopped painting and decided to do rendered drawings instead with a pencil, it's much faster and i feel like i'm actually doing something worthwhile. The new captcha needs to go.
>>7838287This is a retarded answer most definitely made by a dogmatic beg, but it holds some truth in it. Try different mediums for a while mainly some that does not allow you to go hyper into detail. I suggest a brush pen>portable>can change line weight>forced to focus on major shapes instead of minor details>While you can dry brush or use water for building up value it's scary since ink is more permanent than pencilDo it for 2/3 weeks then go back into drawing digitally, the tool changes how your mind works. Also I used to not like the new captcha, but compared to the one where you had to slide it and only write what had a certain shape It's waay better, I don't even have to really look while doing these new ones because they follow a certain pattern.
>>7833675I think to a certain point it's about "unlearning" the fundies mindset and coming to the realization that you draw as you do to get the look that you want. I realize that sounds tautological, but if a certain color needs to be in a certain place, don't try to justify to yourself why it should be there, just put it there. There's no need to follow procedures to get the look you want when you already know what look you want to get. Cutting out the procedure lets you interject with upsets for the sake of style in a way that a methodical process just wouldn't allow.Take the looseness of the shoulders on the OP image for example. If you were to meticulously sketch out the whole figure beforehand, you would be tempted to paint them in a nice crisp line and follow your sketch. But without strict guidelines you're more inclined to paint an interpretation.Brush is also a lot of it, the way blending works in most art software is really not great for the kind of looseness in OP. The way colors mix is just really ugly (like in my example) unless you're careful with it, which is missing the point here. The PS mixer brush is alright, or grab Rebelle, it's cheap sometimes.
>>7833675Become an allaprima-slopper
>>7833675Loose doesn't necessarily mean fast. Do studies where you use as few brushstrokes as possible.>John Singer Sargent once said that there was no point putting a brushstroke down unless it was the correct brushstroke in terms of colour, shape, value, and direction
>>7838307>This is a retarded answer most definitely made by a dogmatic begpyw dumb nigger
how do one basically measure. Content(maybe for pixiv or DA) so to gain perhaps 6 digit traffic or sales. Basically gauging the elements, or in reverse, figuring the canvas based on current trend? Math is welcome but clarity will be the priority,>I would also post wsr but the faster, the better. >...ok that also means something else.
>>7839585>Measure >QualityMissed that
How do I get into the V-tuber scene to sell characters and animation does anyone here know?
>>7834478there’s already 9 million people offering vtuber shit off fiverr. it’s saturated, and you’re too late.
>>7834480Exactly, same shit with VRchat models. I wonder what the next trend will be that everyone jumps on.
>>7834478live3dModels are super expensive and the market is saturate by smelly south east asians using the same copy pasted assets from bigger companies, henceth the reasoneth for pngtubers as normal people move away from a 3d vtuber model
>>7834551live 2d is better for weeb shit
>>7834478Why should I tell you, op? Why should I deliberately make the competition even worse?

Not looking for male opinions, male art, etc. Rules:>the males must be attractive>women must be drawn with the female-gaze in mind.>No femboy/trans/traps/futa.

Thank you.>If it does not serve women, it does not belong here.
>>7838213Another character redesign (he's a pharmacist).
Realized the resolution was shit when it was too late kek
>>7839478Forgot pic, new captchas are a pain
>>7838213>>7838037Thank you! I like to think it's just decent fundies + different brushes and color palettes doing all the work lol>>7839480lmao wonderful did you come up with this yourself? It's hilarious
>>7839561Not 100% original, I based it off this meme I saw
Are disney animators a bunch of hacks?https://youtu.be/CLQXJ9h3HBI
All professionals are hacks when they have deadlines.
Watch that scene again and tell me it was created by hacks
>>7839520Weird, How'd they turn them into giant anthropomorphic cartoon dogs?I'm assuming they didn't just draw them over the top, because that'd be too much work to call them hacks.
It's fascinating to me how one's opinion on reference instantly outs them as a beg or an experienced artist. I see this from the perspective I'm at today and it seems specifically interesting (in terms of this film) but also somewhat mundane, but to a no-draw beg it must really feel like a massive betrayal. The sausage is made that way, really? All this time?
I wish I was good enough to draw something like this in public
Can you draw something like that in private??
>>7839515Yes, but it takes about a month or two
>>7839499just draw in public a few thousand times and you'll get there
