A Daiso store open in my city and has those Japanese white rectangular erasers. I think I read they are the best kind of erasers, is that true or just hype because they are Japanese. Also they have color ones shaped like things but I don't trust those. So what's the verdict on Japanese erasers.
the best japanese eraser is a mono eraser
>>7940094Asian white erasers are very good and are an entire tier (if not 10) above those horrid pink erasers that just smudge your paper further. However, if you're going to be drawing why not get some eraser dough/putty? Those are just as good at erasing but you don't have anywhere the risk of ripping a page if you have to erase.
>>7940248I think you want to have both kinds handy. Putty erasers are great for erasing precise small areas but they never TRULY get 100% of the graphite off
>>7940094They are amazing. Love my nippon rubbers.
>>7940094>japanese white erasersbuy their black mono erasers that can pick up its own dustI think Chinese already made several copies but never buy Chinese mechanical pencil lead refills. They will destroy your mechanical pencil internals. So fucking dusty/Stick to German/mexican fabercastell or Japanese brands.
Is anyone else looking forward to HALLE 3D? Seems super promising.
>>7940156*body morphing
>>7940156>>7940158Yeah like I said this is ABSOLUTELY not aimed at artist, the demographic seems to be Visual Novel makersIt just seems that way for the little nitpicky stuff they show like "moving this 10cm up and down, look how everything moves", it gives me sequential VN pictures vibesAdd that "background picture" support, that splashes a huge image dome in the back? that's not for artists, the fuck you are going to do with thatCoupled with this being a Steam release seems obvious this is aimed at VNs

>>7940539Very pretty

It's so painful to use
>>7937914>No perspective rulerIt is USELESS to me
There's the pros that use PS and CSP, there's also the people that still use Paint Tool SAI and the poorfags that draw on phone with their fingers using jeet apps infested with ads. No matter the supossed quality of a program, anybody competent just draws with whatever they can get used to. Tools doesn't make the artist. Fuck off
>>7940529Inconsistency is the bane for every foss projects simply by the fact that they're open sourced. So you run into the too many cooks dilemma if a certain project does not have a strong central project owner. At least better than GIMP tho

>>7940437The "average person" is an obese walmartian who sits on the couch and drinks himself to death after working his dead end job that he'll probably be laid off from within the next five years
>>7940496You don't realize it, but you're telling on yourself here.
>He hasn't started on that big project yet>He's still drawing floating heads and boxesBetter get started anon, time is finite, age matters, and the world order is collapsing right as we speakTake it from a 40 year old anon, you don't want to waste your best years spinning your wheels and doing nothing of note
>>7926745Don't some people say they like seeing an artist get better as a work goes on?
>>7938279Im not 100% if I should do that, I got like 50 pages that look like picrel, although im yet to color them so theyll probably look slightly betterOnce im done the 120 pages first chapter, I might just call it quits and use this as a learning experience.>>7938668Yeah thats one thing i sorta like about this project is that I can see myself improving
>>7940109>once im done the 120 pages first chapter, I might just call it quits and use this as a learning experienceYeah, redoing the pages once you gotten better is just something you tell yourself to keep you going, most likely your first project is usually the worst because its the first. Get the project done, take notes/ journal as you do it so you know how to improve on your next project and if the project is still calling to you after a couple of years, remake it. The important part is getting work finished so you can refine your process.
>>7920146this is Cris btw
>>7920092>He's still drawing floating heads and boxesMy issue is that I get too stuck in drawing fanart because it's my comfort-zoneI need to get off my ass and learn 3D animation
General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.
Very new to drawing mechs but wanting to get better at it. Used CSP to slap a bunch of 3d shapes together to get a rough shape sorted, making a Decepticon inspired by Fall of Cybertron for fun.
Can this level be achieved naturally (without 1-in-1000 talent)?
>>7929901Miura achieved his talent by drawing volumes of his manga Miuranger (which spanned 40 volumes) during elementary school.
>>7939855That's fantastic as well, they're not in the same category at all... Hating on Miura just because so many people like him doesn't make you superior, it just makes you a contrarian.
>>7940490which anime
>>7931075>condemns something as evil>refuses to elaborate>invokes a vague " internal origin">internal origin of what is improved by looking or feeling good???>>7931095goddamn, Nietzsche really was right.Also makes me realize that progressivism is just Christanity mephedrone for the pseudoreligious and ignorant.
>>7930632if it is so cheap, why would you need a mentor? You see the image right there.Draw something similar, let me judge.
...Is it super important to know how things fit on the bone?
>>7936811You only need to know the landmarks and where the joints go. After that it's just figure out how the muscles would warp and twist to accommodate the posture.At the end of the day it's also just knowing what are the interesting poses and then how the anatomy has to twist and bend to fit that pose.
>>7936811you can do whatever you wantthat's the secret
>>7936811You're more looking for landmarks for where muscles start and stop. Yes, if you are drawing hyper real art you will be breaking down the figure as shown in your example. But most people are not going to spend 10 hours setting up their drawing. Thus you learn to put things where they are supposed to go in a general sense.Think of the body as as tree. Obviously the trunk has to be there, and the branches must be placed properly, but people won't notice if leaves are out of place a little bit.
>>7936811Eventually when constructing a figure that knowledge comes in handy. It turns drawing into a Sudoku puzzle. The most important bones are things like the clavicle because it's a nexus point to so many muscle and bone. Understanding where muscles attach gives you greater clarity but you don't have to show it all off.Lately the sartorius muscle has been a god send for me when drawing from imagination when trying to figure out what are the planes of the legs I'm seeing, it connects at the corner of the pelvis (if you fit it into a box) To the (in)side of the tibia

Is there a way to make an actually good simple hard round brush that blends in procreate without getting this shit instead? I fucking swear every other app has good blending brushes but not procreate.
Why do most people fail at "just draw"? is it really that complicated?
nodraws be like>drawing is bad for becoming better at drawing>my proof? severely autistic children on the internet and my headcanons
>>7940002I'm not a no draw and the statement is "Just draw" No one is saying you shouldn't draw, of course drawing is a component of improvement, it's just the concepts of aimless drawing hoping it will make you better just by doing it. It comes preloaded that you aren't retarded and will make the proper moves to improve naturally. A lot of us are retarded.
>>7940002Lazy faggots will make excuses to not do things and demoralize others, literally what else is new? Misery loves company.
people forget that the origins of just draw were from a hardcore fundamentals guy and it was meant as a first step for beginners to get started
>>7936468the idea that some people "learn" how to draw is absolutely hilarious. you either have the ability or you don't. people who "learn" always had it in them, their interest was just never expressed until then.

You know what's funnier than all the vermin crawling out of the woordwork to shit up the thread with useless drama? The fact that Prayer's doodle isn't even loli.
>>7940218post boinge. something funny and sfw>>7940225somebody reposted me recentlyI hope I deleted all problematic drawings...
>>7940764>>7940031I think it looks fine, but if you really wanted to try pushing it further, I think it can be achieved by reversing her spine from hunched (which gives her a bit subdued look in the original) to pushing out. The hand could be reposed a bit to the side for a better silhouette and giving her trademark triple hand gesture more of its own space. The removed shoes could be swinging with the motion more to the side, again for a better silhouette (the shoes are kinda buried under the skirt and hair).It's plenty readable as it is, but if it can be more, then it's usually a potential vector for further improvement.
>>7940893JADF is a gesture god...

What do you listen to while drawing?
I listen to Yen_BM (Chris)'s streams + some lofi hiphop, it feels like drawing with someone, and I have to ask, are there other people who stream their drawings while talking (I prefer animation)
>>7933407asmr
I listen to my own thoughts. I envy the people who can concentrate on doing something while listening to music or anything else

>>7940305Thank you anon! I enjoyed drawing them, your designs are always so good. These are my characters, apologies I haven’t finished the girls skirt. If you wanted to draw her, any color would do.
