1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.

2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.

3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.

4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.

5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)

Its dogshit because they're relatively new to drawing. So each drawing they spend hours on is a bigger chunk of their experience. So if someone were to "steal" it, whatever that means, it hurts more. Someone whose been drawing for ten years isn't gonna agonize over this type of shit.

Post lower res watermark plasted images and even less people will notice the already hard to see AI tells or mistakes.

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 such
2. 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.

A technique I developed when learning descriptive drawing was to lightly erase areas where lines where getting too crowded, and then redraw in the ones I wanted to keep. I would keep in mind an hierarchy of lines based on how important I judged them, and make them more visible or less based on that.

I wouldnt erase to the point where any line actually dissapeared, but it would increase vizibility. And with enough repetitions, past construction lines would give a nice texture and the dirtiness wouldnt pop as much by contrast. So I could get away without redrawing on a clean new page.

Not him, but you went full retard on the blocking, she looks like those hentai memes of girls squished into cubes and the sloppy values just further hurt the form of the cast.
I also just don't understand what you were going for in general, there's no effort reflected in either the values or the hatching, it looks like you blocked in the cast, got bored and just slopped your way through to get it over with. If you're bored with a study, step away, do something else and come back to it later. Studies need effort, use a sketchbook for the loose stuff

I should probably go back to Keys to Drawing, I feel like that definitely helped me the most and I still remember a lot of the lessons. idk, could be that I'm just undisciplined, or it's a matter of finding the right teacher/s
like Brent isn't a bad teacher or anything, it's just that his approach and delivery is so dry and surgical, it doesn't ignite much of a spark. same can definitely be said of DAB's severe autism

>and nearly every tablet is noticeable.

It's only noticable if you're looking for it.
Wobble is inherent to the EMR technology, cannot be eliminated, and it's not significant enough to disrupt the actual drawing.

When you are actually drawing a picture, rather than trying to benchmark the tablet you are
A. not drawing straight 45 degree lines with a ruler
B. using a stabilizer and the stabilizers eliminate it entirely
>Bu bu but Wacom Pro
Wacom built the stabilizer into the drivers. the only reason you don't see the wobble is because they are cheating.
>>
>>7836161
Both sounds like a bad idea, but there's something you need to know about the Samsung, and OLED.

OLED fucks you up, it's not fit for the content production.
A. it's oversaturated. I worked on a samsung tablet for years. When a picture looks normal on an overblown OLED it looks dull on a normal screen.
B. OLED crushes the dark values HARD. One time I was commissioned to draw a girl swimming at night and boy was that a fucking nightmare. OLED completely fucked up the dark values and the entire scene was dark, so I had to color it basically blind.

Samsung is a decent tablet with a decent pen, but man, you gotta be wary of the OLED, they simply aren't accurate. Imagine trying to build a house with an incorrect tape ruler.
>>
I got a medium wacom intuos pro for Christmas. This is my first tablet. Should I avoid putting my wrist on the tablet when drawing? I would like to keep this thing nice. I have no excuse to not draw now.

No such thing. You will fuck it up, think of it as an eraser, if you use it it goes.

Idk if this is the right thread to post this on but I need ideas for a unique monster design for my survival horror series I’m writing. It’s something of a zombie apocalypse story but the zombies in this case are more like demons, beings of pure unbridled hatred and malice. Picrel is the closest I’ve came to matching this description. Any ideas?
>>
>>7838391
Soulful. You should make the demons manifest through humans so it looks like a person is being zombified, but as their flesh starts rotting away you see the demon beneath.
>>
>>7838398
Similar to this, if you're having the demons come from humans - you could have it so they're a bit like the necromorphs from dead space - make the demon's horns out of the human's ribs, the goat like legs are because the human legs are twisted around, their clothes can be the flesh torn and draped around them in particular ways, etc.
>>
>>7838391
I vaguely see the vision, but is it as if their tearing from flesh or decay?
>>
>>7838424
It’s as if something inside of them finally emerges and overtakes their entire body, if that makes sense. The lore goes very deep

Okay negroid, feel free to elaborate, cuz i'm actually interested in different perspectives.

I think there is a large under-served market of erotica games and i think you should do a VN if that's the way you want to tell your story, not because you think coding is something insurmountable for you.

If you limit yourself to something reasonable like Love2D or Pygame then you get very quickly to a point where you can casually crank out basic 2D games. True, you can also become a retard who spends 10 years making the most amazing 2D platformer that nobody plays and then cry on youtube it. But there is nothing against learning to code, just to see what possibilities it opens up for you. Hell, why not extend the VN formula with some puzzle elements or Undertale-style minigames.

I admit it may be a bit of a porn-game-brained perspective, where gameplay often serves to grind for new scenes.

itch.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

>>7838551
I 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.

How can you prove your artwork is authentic in the world of AI slop? Every method I could imagine has been compromised.

>WIPs
Pretty easy to fake. Just trace and work backwards.

>Timelapses
Some apps like Procreate let you hide reference layers, and it's known that prompters will take advantage of that to hide the fact that they're tracing over AI slop.

>Traditional
Even that isn't a guarantee since prompters have now been printing out their AI slop and tracing over it on paper.

So what's left? Filming yourself drawing? Showing your entire file system? Is this an unwinnable arms race?
