ITT pencils only you like
>>8060759Option 2 is you're talking about two different type of pencil - graphite pencils versus charcoal / chalk oil base pencils.Oil base drawing pencils use charcoal, chalk or similar traditional pigments with some mix of oil and other binders to create a deep black, white (or sepia, sanguine) coloured pencils, for traditional drawing with a material that is less messy. Normally, these materials leave a lot of dust and are easy to smudge. Also the cores are stronger.You can also get pencils with compressed charcoal cores or compressed chalk cores, and these are still quite messy, and also delicate. The tips can break easily.
>>8060967>>8060969thanks for the detailed write up. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. Looking at the set i purchased it falls under option 1 where the difference in the sets was just as you said was the range of pencil sizes.

>>8061271there is something sickly about this piece, perhaps the tubes are subtly visceral and the legs are insectoid, both things humans are naturally averse to. i like that it's creepy without actually being disgusting in any way. does this unit-16 have a purpose?
>>8062297there is rarely a sort of elaborate lore to my pieces, i can however say what my inspirations were. the mountainside was inspired by those afghanistan combat videos, with lots of broken up rocks for cover. that terrain would make it difficult to impossible for wheeled or tracked vehicles to maneuver, hence why the thinly legs would actually be useful. the armaments with 6 rockets could be something like atgms, so i guess overall that would make it into a sort of backcountry ambusher unit. there is quite a lot of room in the superstructure for fuel, so these could operate independently for prolongued periods of time, maybe sitting idle in the harsh weather for weeks, unless called into action.
>>8066053Youre too good for this board
What resources do you guys recommend to learn to draw this stuff? Any books especially? I've been wanting to try for a long time but don't know where to start or how to.
What religion should I join to make appealing art?
>>8066020There's a lot of theologically unsound things baked into your post that makes me feel like you're either an excitable neophyte or improperly medicated schizophrenic. Either way, I'll reiterate that you literally agreed with him that art is not the religion while also telling him to fuck off. That's an odd thing to do.

Will the indie art scene ever go back to the early 2000's when people seemed to make money so easily online? And what was it that made it so easy in those days?
>>8066012many ways to skin the cat I suppose
>>8066017yessum, you are right about one thing, you need to enjoy what you do to last. whether it be making money with art as your product or making art for the love of art.
>>8066011How old are you? Time is quite literally money, the hours you spent on drawing are worth more than the 5$ the AIfags spent on tokens, or however much their generation is worth.

wife and I made wreaths and decorated for Samhain Saturday night. I am not an art oriented person. This was my first attempt at crafting in many years. My wreath is top left, hers top right. she invited our religious, protestant, white friends and a livestock hobby friend over for a seasonal celebration, food & fellowship on Oct 30th. Will serve single-bite-sized mutton pot pies, a charcuterie board of brie, ovine havarti, ovine cheddar, Bleu cheese, jalapeños, jam, brown mustard, sourdough, and 1 or 2 varieties of crackers. drinks will be wife ranging, as we make our own wine & have cellar full, brew our own beer & have mass market American Lager on hand, as well as a fully stocked liquor cabinet for classic cocktails (not sugar-laden "club drinks").we will both dress in seasonal costumes for fun. she will be a Dryad & I will be a Druid.wife is not a "witch" and we are not pagans or astrology kooks. just farmers celebrating the astronomical, solar, planting, breeding and harvest seasonal calendar. sharing our harvest, goodwill, thanks, blessings and the hope for a healthy and productive next year.Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath daysRomans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Where's my invitation? Did the Post lose it? There is certainly a ritual connotation to your event because you created an altar (even if consciously it's just art to you, spirits speak to the artistic unconscious and may speak through it) and are willfully celebrating a holiday that is intended as a day of worship for beings of lower intent. (Sacrifice and I will help you vs I will sacrifice and help you)Your Christian friends would be right to politely decline if they knew the connotations of your event. Yet they probably celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 with a Christmas tree and are likely luciferians themselves so...ya know.
>>8065664our religious friend came by today. she asked my wife about the top left wreath that hangs above the doorway to/from our bedroom into the Great Room. she enthusiastically asked wife "did you make that?" to which wife responded "husband made it" religious friend then said "wow. thats really good crafting for a guy" to which my wife responded "its really good crafting for anyone." then white friend turned around and saw the second wreath hanging above the display on the Great Room wall and asked "did he make that one too?" wife told her that she made that one. white friend then responded "wow, those are really good! you could sell those!" she even offered to give wife some quartz (white friend is a rock collector). that said, wife already bought a decent bag of it for this specific project. what we actually need is black tourmaline, which white friemd balked at giving when asked due to "witchy connotations"no catty remarks about our decorations. no comments about "paganism" or accusations of "witchcraft" which is actually surprising, since she often makes backhanded compliments or thinly veiled sarcastic slights about our entire lifestyle (solar, off-grid, frugal, debt free, independent, preparedness & general function over form.I'll take the compliment.it is confirmed, she and her husband will be attending our celebration. husbamd was raised Mennonite she was grab-bag protestant. now, they are Presbyterian. I am a former devout Catholic, wife is a jaded, former "non-denominational" christian who left all religion behind when she moved out on her own, 3 years before we met.
they’re lovely, op, (& cute tiny mushrooms.) and a very fun display. i deeply love the feeling of harvest pre-winter celebrations, there’s just something about them.
>>8065625>>8065950You're not fooling anyone. This is pagan. Protestant are Protestanting again. You're even dressing up like druids.
>>8065973People dress up like pumpkins, zombies, ghosts, witches, scooby doo, nurses, Michael Myers and many, MANY other things. does that make them pagans? or just kids & people having fun & being creative one night a year? I bet you a Looney our white friends show up in some sort of costume. does that make them pagans too?

Does this look like a decent reference for anatomy or is it just Twitter AI slop?
>>8065871total slop
>>8065871Does it matter? AI is superior anyway.
>>8065871God this shit has been the weirdest fucking trend of AI slop shit. Like even when /beg/'s give half ass advice they are probably just repeating shit that they heard from books/video courses so even if they suck at explaining it I can get the logic but whenever I see these damn AI tutorials no matter how good the renders are the logic doesnt make any fucking sense. Like for the image that is "wrong" why are the "correct" boobs underneath em? Why is the bra fucked? Do I gotta tell the AI "Hey dont do this do THIS!!"

Is this book better than drawing on the right side of the brain?
>>8065175I dont want to be that guy but the example on the cover looks exactly what I need on the thing japan version.
>>8065124Nobody on this board finished any of them. You need real people to pose for you to do Keys to Drawing so it's useless.
>>8065124sure, kid. this gay boomer book is better than that gay boomer book. your gonna make it.
>>8065124I found Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain completely pointless, and gained absolutely nothing from doing the exercises. Keys to Drawing was even worse because it gave me some crippling misconceptions about how to approach drawing, and I regard it as the single worst instructional resource on any topic I have ever encountered.What I actually did find helpful were Mark Kistler's books, The Art and Science of Drawing by Brent Eviston, and Arthur Guptill's Sketching as a Hobby. I will note, though, that unfortunately what you find helpful is likely based heavily on your starting skill level, what you happen to find intuitive, and your existing preconceptions, so your experience won't necessarily mirror mine.
>>8065127>Have at least little critical thought.But I feel lost if people don't tell me what to do.

can having the autism nerf your /ic/skills? Asking for a friend
>>8065165I have the autism and my drawings look like thisyou decide whether thats good or not
>>8065726yeah im autistic asf its over
>>8065805You choose to render one of the worst ones, i dont get it
>>8065165It can if you don't have the type of autism that naturally lends itself to learning abstract stuff. A lot of autists are trapped in perma-/beg/ hell because they take 'just draw' too literally (and develop poor habits) or fall for the constructive drawing trap (drawabox, brokendraw, Peter Han, etc).Gesture, line quality, drawing your immediate surroundings, continuous line drawing, shape/line grinding as warmups, meaningful tracing (break down refs into shapes), and spending more time looking at your reference than your paper is all you need when starting out. If anyone tells you anything else, they're horribly misinformed.

How do you draw attractive character? There must be some secret to it.

>>8065775>anime head with regular female body Japan had it figured out decades ago. Walt Disney came close.
>>8061006What do you mean ?If you would fap on it then it's considered attractive if you won't then it's not.
>>8061418>>8061422The big problem with a lot of capeshit art styles these days is that artists in the industry aren't regularly studying cartoons...and they aren't regularly drawing from life (actual people and sculptures) either. The industry also pressures artists to fit the contemporary in-house style which is not only excessively detailed, but the colorists and inkers are also told to push for extra detail (which is bad because the inkers and colorists aren't as effectively trained as they should be, which results in shitty art).Older artists would draw from life, photographs, and cartoons/comics. The style was simpler because of logistics and the acceptance that comics were for kids.
