You can make it display a crosshair in addition to the brush outline. Never lost the cursor with that setting.

how many hours of drawabox do i need to draw like this
29 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.

if drawabox worked you'd see people spamming countless successful examples and even posting the creator's own work.
>>
>>7917800
Drawabox was helpful for someone like me who has an "Analytical Brain" I draw pretty competently now utilizing some of it's methods. Without it, I would have spun my wheels and been terrible for a very long time. I do not have any element of "talent" or real "It factor" within me I only have persistence.

I find people like me constantly. Folks who suck at drawing, hate that they suck at drawing, hate themselves because they suck at drawing. In fact I feel /ic/ is dominated primarily by people like me. Self loathing hopefuls that want/need the golden answer to improvement. But I realize that there are like three separate states we can fall into.

The first are the people who are able to get a eureka moment and begin learning how to use the information they've gained to make all other concepts and future concepts easier. Link A to B and B to C sort of speak.
The second group of people are the one who are persistent, but they never really internalized the goal or purpose behind any of the shit they do and it's all just grinding to grind, they never take like the practicing of forms and try to utilize them in their construction practices. (As an example).
The third group I'd say are the people who are some what apart of group two along with people who are less persistent than them becoming extremely disillusioned and jumping from practice course to practice course hoping any single one thing will lead to a break through while also not trusting anything.

**Strive for quantity AND quality.**

Anime Studying:
>Copy anime references exactly and draw them from memory. Use illustrations, screenshots, anime figures, 3D models, etc.
>Don’t copy recklessly. Use construction, color theory, and other fundamental concepts to rehearse a drawing process that you can later easily manipulate for original artwork.
>Post all of your anime studies. Post even when you’re told not to. Create an art community that actually draws and improves together instead of just talking about it.
>Number your attempts and link to your previous posts.
>Critiquers should lead by example by posting their studies.

Sup, First time posting here. I might need some suggestions regarding digital illustration/manga making. Mainly in the brushes. I feel like I have far too many atm. And might want to cut some down. Got like alot of stipples brushes for example.

Granted, I do worry about being limited on ink brushes that might help out for time cutting, such as cross hatches and stippling. Or generally more creative brush works.

My general inspirations are Hirohiko Araki, and Takehiko Inoue. Both their illustrations and manga work, influenced my brush choices.

Not a study but I'm really glad how this turned out.

I am looking for timelapses or ideally real time of drawing NOT RENDERING OR PAINTING. I have a few sources I managed to get my hands on ModernDayJames videos, along with @riylart in youtube's videos which i also like, but beyond that i only have disparate scraps of random videos i find lurking on twitter or youtube. Does anyone know of a source of the kind of video i am seeking

So the idea in practice is simple as is the purpose of this thread.

Create a moodboard of art that you wish to incorporate into your style and post what it is you want out of the art work. Then folks can make suggestions link tutorials and such to help.

>add your own style
Add it to what? The images? Like redraw them?
>now you should have 6-11 art images on your folder
Oh. So throw out whatever I've done in steps 2 and 3, and do them for real now. Aren't files "in" a folder by the way?
>pick your top 3 favorite style features
Okay. Do the images in the folder matter?
>do the same for your style
What. I assume pick style features. But that's what I draw because I like it. Even if this made sense it's like picking your favorite child.

Dali writes about this. I know the other posters are pretty negative, but if I could see every drawing I made that clearly before I set out I could draw anything.... so how does it work?
>>
>>7918759
>but if I could see every drawing I made that clearly before I set out I could draw anything.... so how does it work?
you'll only see flashes still, so its up to your memory to write it down fast or sketch it out and come close to it. basically writing down your dreams and illusions. i dont know if forcing deprivation is a good idea though and there is still a chance of minor night terrors and triggering a psychotic episode if youre vulnerable to that.

just try to do art the normal way instead, breaking down barriers in the brain isnt healthy in the long run.

Interest in Team sports are a good indicator of competitive spirit, artists that can’t understand the strategies and concepts within sport are generally in art for aesthetic or identity reasons. Sport and competition is a natural human instinct, and people who scoff at it are dysgenic parasites that make furry art or sonic OCs and complain they were “bullied”
>>
>>7915496
artist plateau is resolved by being critical of your work and looking for ways to improve it. most artists reach a state of "good enough" and stagnante because they're no longer being critical of their work, they're fine with it. and so they can go for years without any noticeable improvement, just following the same procedure as they always use.

Consistency and content is more valuable than quality. I've seen absolutely dogshit artists who've been at it for 10 years and never noticeably improved who make bank off of comms just because they can shit dozens of them out in a day, and because they draw relatively uncommon things that have target audiences with low standards.

Your second link doesn't work btw.

How often do you guys think about restarting whatever your project your on to start something new? Im working on a pretty long manga now, but the last few weeks I've been thinking up a story about some chad human dude with some big horse woman.

Im always thinking about different fancy new projects, even tho my current more normal one Im still enjoying making (even tho im losing some steam). You guys have any room for starting new projects?

that's also a problem but most furry artists can't draw decent humans so outside of HMOFA brownoids are very rare.

mice would be a lot smaller than 2 feet. wolves are also slightly smaller than humans, most don't go past 130 pounds for a large male. although you can easily have 7 foot tall amazon wolf girls and no one would bat an eye.
