>>8022551>>8022607Heyyyyy alright, this is some solid cartoonish stuff, man.
trying to figure out how scalies work. How to make sure eyes are facing forwards instead of to the sides, how forward the head should when attached to the neck, etc.
I was inspired by a Shelley Duvall inspired Noelle Holiday drawing I saw online.I'm trying to emulate the look for a Rex. Any feedback would be appreciated.
>>8023093>I was inspired by a Shelley Duvall inspired Noelle Holiday drawing I saw online.Believe it or not, the guy that drew that is in this thread right now lol. He’s a regular contributor.
Why do AI cultists piss and shit themselves and get mad defensive when I say I don't like their sloppa and won't be interacting with it? Is it some inherent inferiority complex?
>>8022790no one here is being threatened, you can still do your scribbles and shitposts just fine
>>8022472all i see is the same IP
>>8021409>If you read carefully, you're talking about skills. A thing you lack.Pyw before you discuss skill fag. and ur comparing your shitty art with athleticism this "we artists are the jocks of the art world and techbros are teh losers" stchick is so redddit. "anyone i dont like was bullied more than me and is ackually a pesky incel!!!!" Mentally still shoved in a locker.
>>8009142>I think it's weird that US MAGA rightoids are all pro AI while leftists and commies are against it when it should be the opposite.All lot of it was started as a reactionary response to seeing leftists in predominantly left wing institutions (fine arts and hollywood) get replaced. Honestly nothing feels better than seeing Concept artists or Hollywood Writers and Voice Actors be put out of work after all the anti trump/Right wing shit from this decade.
>>8023094MAGA rightoids are predominately senile boomers that don't know what a jpeg is. They do not possess the necessary skills to figure out that the early Will Smith devouring spaghetti video is not real. Anyone younger than 60 in that group is exclusively making money off of the rest of the crowd.Le lefties are mostly kids out of school and can still keep two thoughts in their head at the same time. They can be misguided latte sipping retards but concluding that contemporary AI grift is not good for anyone except for 5 guys is not difficult for them.It's not that deep.
post art and artists that motivate and inspire (you)

No Ls.
So as I was drawing through bridgman. A thought appeared into my head, "Wait a minute, should I be drawing an artist's interpretation of reality first before drawing from life or should I be drawing from reality first before using the interpretations of it from other people as a supplement?" At first, I thought it was stupid. Because im a beg and of course I've have to start off with the easy shit first. But the deeper I went with it. It actually starts to make sense. I looked through some research and I've discovered that a lot of the old art masters actually got good from just studying from life.I think im going to go with the second option. But I also want to hear your thoughts about this. Also, I don't have any references from reality and can't afford one. I'm planning to do the next best thing, which is to get some books that aim for anatomical accuracy and a 3d program to study anatomy.
what is the guy above me talking about
>>8020904Anything like Bridgman but anime? I don't want to make american comics.
>>8021783it's not translated, but it principle it's same:人体デッサンの基礎―美術解剖の知識と応用
>>8020904If you actually read the book he never encourages you to just copy his drawings. He just gives an explanation of how you should approach drawing from life with the images as an example. If you want to get good you have to do both, copying and applying the method in a similar style.

>>8010678>our governments are literally paying the niggers to shit kids. What the fuck are you talking about. You're eligible for the same help and niggers eventually go back to the average birthrate after a generation or two. Low birthrate affect every country that become developed enough, the fucking phillipines have dogshit birthrate too despite being a 2nd rate non white shithole. The sense of victimhood of rightoid is truly endless.

Story time:Over a decade ago I graduated from a 2D animation program. Out of everyone in my small class, I was the only one who decided to focus on flash animation, mostly because I wanted to work at DHX Vancouver (now Wildbrain), a studio that specialized in flash for a long time (also the studio behind MLP:FiM, I wasn't too interested in the show personally but that was their breadwinner at the time). I applied for junior positions for an upcoming project but never heard back from them, so for the time being I simply thought that my application had been rejected and while I was a little crushed, I moved on. A month later, the program director from my school reached out to tell me that reps from DHX would be visiting and that they were interested in meeting me. I went and met with the studio's head of HR, and it's there that I learned my application email had never reached them and the resume I had faxed was most likely discarded by mistake. She told me that while all those positions had been filled and that they didn't have any current openings, she liked my work and invited me to visit DHX later that week for a proper interview and a personal tour of the studio.When the day came I cleaned myself up as best as I could and bussed over to DHX. The studio had a chill atmosphere. Seeing people at their desks animating or working on new assets on fancy PC setups, checking out walls of model sheets and thumbnails, it really felt like a place I would thrive in. The interview went well, but the HR head reminded me that they didn't have any current openings, but that they'd reach out if a new junior position popped up. Still, it all got me very excited and I left with high hopes.They never got back to me. In the end, I never got hired at a studio. I'm not spiteful about it, I know what my flaws were back then. I decided to take a different career that I'm still in today. Probably for the best too, considering the current state of the industry.
>>8023025Fast forward to a few days ago, I actually caught up with a couple of my old classmates from school. One of them had become an instructor at the school and the other had become a successful storyboard artist who had worked with a variety of different studios. I was a little embarrassed to show them my current stuff as while I've certainly improved since back then they're still miles ahead of me skill-wise. But they both lamented the same story I've heard time and time again, the animation industry becoming a pretty brutal career path even for people with their talent and success.Sometimes I think of how different my life would be if I did get that job at DHX. Maybe I'd be on the same skill level of my old classmates if I had stuck with it. I've met a lot of other people in the industry, a lot of them tell me if I learned toon boom I'd have a good shot at getting a job with my current skills. But honestly? I'm pretty comfortable with my current job situation.Funnily enough, a gamedev approached me a week ago to make some promotional art for an upcoming game. We'll see where that goes...
>>8023025>>8023044enjoyed reading about your experiences, hope you keep doing well wherever you go or stay from now
Aaaaaaaa!My EYES! YOU BASTARD!(Not responsible for self inflicted injuries)
PAGE 13 WIP... hopefully we should be half way into the story, but knowing me I'll probably be adding more "exxxtra" pages...>>8022051OP tells about that here >>8016017
>>8022359Her face looks kinda weird in profile
>>8022589Is this one better? Yeah, I wasn't sure about it. I'm glad I'm posting these WIP's, otherwise I would have go on with that face.Also I show there the difference in working area size, If I work at a big sized canvas (as I would like to) I can do MUCH better stuff, but then, time and effort would increase exponentially. Like, a page that takes me 5hs to do at a height of 1400pixels, at 3000+pixels would take me 16HS or more. And these projects would become undoable time wise. That's why figures in some panels look so basic and "thick lined", I'm working at a tiny scale, but it allows me to do this incredibly fast xD
>>8022009 >> PAGE 13 FINISHED!We're getting there.. hee-hee..
>>8022690That's way better

a portrait for my heckin' /ic/ friendorinos (i know you like portraits)
>>8022590I would recommend lowering the contrast and value of the background as you can barely see the distinction between foreground and background. It took me a while to figure out red is the background and what it was showing and I still can't figure out where the blue ropes are connecting to. Is it the red background or the golden steak in the midground.

Is this a valid improvement for 1 year? I just redrew this drawing from 2025 and I think i've basically only improved in lineart and anatomy granted im not trying to be a master artist or anything I just wanna draw porn
>>8019938Know any good things I should do? I do anatomy practice but I feel like mentally im stuck by my "draw a line and color it in" mentality which I never grew out of, I watch a speed paint or look at twitter anime artists and it seems like they just treat lines like a sketch and fill out the details with the shadowing and stuff, my brain cant even comprehend that
>>8019936That's great progress for a year.I accuse the first poster of being a nodraw.
>>8020113NTA but great is a really large overstatement. They're essentially within the same level, the proportions are slightly better on the right image but hold the same value, ie. Very little.It also doesn't help that we don't have a larger framework of art to judge and compare. If I had to guess, I'd say OP spent more time playing video games and gooning than actually drawing.
It's a progress so you should be happy. Better question is how many hours you've drawn?1 hour a day? 2h a week? If you did 1 hour a day, it's pretty small. But if you did 2h a week, you can be happy.
>>8019936>>8019941You haven't regressed, so that's a good thing, let me be clear on that.>draw a line and color it inI'm not a purist, but I spent close to 500 hours only doing sketches and line drawings before tackling coloring. Coloring, which is just rendering, is a whole other skill, and if you want to become better at drawing, focusing on trying to get better at rendering will slow yourself down. I'm not saying stay away from it, but it shouldn't be your focus. If you want to become better at drawing, study every artist you like, and copy their drawings. If you want to become better, you'll need to focus on specifically what that entails. There are plenty of cash grab courses online, but you don't need them. Find a book by an established art (except Loomis, that's a meme) and study them. Read everything, copy every single drawing again and again until you get it right and then move on. Don't spend too long on a single drawing, you'll not learn anything new past the 15 minute mark. Optimal drawing speed should be between 8-12 minutes per drawing. If you're studying Bridgman, it's surprisingly easy to do, but someone like Hogarth will be close to impossible, if you want to copy the rendering as well. Break the sketch down into shapes, copy the drawing, assess what you did, move on. All within the 15 minute time span.People often forget that learning is studying, and studying for anything, even stuff you like to do, is both mentally exhausting and boring at times. It's how you know you're learning.It's going to be ass, but if you want to improve extremely fast, do this. Split it between either 50/50 studying and free drawing, or maybe 60/40 or 70/30 depending on how much you want to accelerate the improvement. The important part is to not burn out, remember to take breaks and get plenty of sleep and hydration.That's basically it.
Whats the fastest way to keep consistent sprite scale across multiple sprites and backgrounds?

I failed the art school exam.
>>8022018>Volkssturmseems like you just think german is cool (which is true), maybe learn what the words mean instead of larping as a natsoc?
>>8022043they took the papers. but I like your idea. I might do a drawing from memory to recreate my exam paper and get criticism based on that.
>>8022199you could also try redoing the setup (i.e. set up your own still life)memory drawings tend to drag behind observational, so the feedback you'd get this way would be more accurate
>>8021873>art schools >teachingArt schools operate on the retarded logic that you already know how to do everything and that you go there for critique. They don't teach you anything and that's largely because the teachers there aren't there to teach their there because just having your work up in galleries alone doesn't pay the bills. Most of them don't know how to help you because they never studied for teaching nor have the mentality for it
