>>7907846Same. Fun fact: the first two were made by me when I was having fun alone at home. And the third ugly one was for school :/ anyway... do you have any paintings like this yourself?
>>7907833>>7907834>>7907838nice, thank you. did you paint the last one outside?
>>7908064nice. the thick stains make it look blurry
>>7904878Could be an early Nick Alm. Love the atmosphere
When is grinding bad? How do you know when to attempt completed work?
You will probably reach a point where grinding feels pointless because you can simply deal with obstacles as they emerge during your main projects.I'd say grinding bad when it turns into an excuse to not work on finished drawings.
grinding bad when you get lost in da saucehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGJ9-1LWFtE
>>7909734this is probably bait butyou never stop doing full drawings. You grind ON THE SIDE.Doing only drawing exercises will deplete your passion quickly. Don't forget to draw what you love!!!
>>7909734>Doing only drawing exercises will deplete your passion quickly.not unless you're autistic
>>7910147I fear that I will try to draw what I love and it will turn bad. I'll be disgusted and sad about this fact and quit. I'm not attached to subjects of grind, so I can do it with less (manageable levels of) fear.
Let's talk about sketchbooks.Do you sketch while on the go? On the Bus? In the Park? At work? Do you go to specific places to enjoy sketching?Which books do you like and use, how do you organize them, and what do you sketch?
>>7910122I don't want people watching over my shoulder and saying "wow you're so talented! I can't even draw a stickman haha"
Post your art and let other anons comment on it.I'll start.
>>7906303Wip. Rendering with a ballpoint is pretty hard
>>7909633Looks really moody, anonBig fan
Comic page, I feel like I only enjoy drawing with mechanical pencil
>>7910129Whoops

Old thread:>>7877320The official reference thread where autists tell you to not use references.
Can someone explain why there are no Howards Lyon sets here? I've no interest in Russian slop. Especially for portrait drawing https://cubebrush.co/howardlyonart/products/tutr0g/naomi-fairytale
>>7909219they cost more than the others studio
>>7909219there are some on cgp

I downloaded this Usa Miharu pack from this thread a few months ago but a bunch of my stuff got corrupted recently and I lost it, anybody willing to share it again?
For stupid questions and questions that don't deserve their own thread.Post here if you don't expect your thread to reach 100+ replies.Previous thread: >>7852768
Why do dip pen nibs degrade so fast while fountain pen nibs seem to last forever?
>>7907762Start with a base layer in gray (grisaile) or, for example, chrome oxide green (verdaccio); once it’s dry, apply a wash of skin tone over it. In this image, the ears, nose, and fingers are red; the half-shadows are gray; and the brightest areas are contrasted with the rust-red next to them.
How could I tell the difference between getting better vs not being as lazy?
Are there any guides for transferring my paper and pen skills to digital?
Do you have any resources/yt videos or anyone that explains in depth the volumes around the eyes? I really feel lost when it's time to draw eyes
>started at 27Hey guys I'm turning 25 tomorrow and I'm having a mid-life crisis.Are there any examples of artists who made something out of themselves later in life?
>started at 27>Hey guys I'm turning 25 tomorrow
>>7896353Urasawa has always drawn but he didn't plan or pursue to become a manga artist and graduated with a degree in economics.Also when he tried submit one of his stories to jump he was basically just told to fuck off.So he only really entered professional art work in his early twenties and didn't have his first (own) major published work until almost 30.
>>7897465that is indeed some pretty decent progress anon, good job
>Since I didn't know how to ink or really draw, I used Flash, which is vector drawing software (like Adobe Illustrator), for illustrations.If I'm reading this right, the guy who did Dofus/ Wakfu didn't start seriously until he was 25.
>>7910097will there ever be a single hub that will produce as many decent and successfull artists as flash and newgrounds?
I've been playing around with acrylics. I kind of like this one. How terrible is it?
hehe look at that pride of lions
>>7907752It looks more like a Stuff toy version of a Lettuce monster.
>>7907752I actually really like the lions a lot. I can’t put my finger on it but there is some emotion there and I like the colors. I’d be really interested to see more work from you that comes from this place inside of you. The turtle is cute but doesn’t make me feel much other than delight at his tiny turtle space helmet and lack of spacesuit but has an emblem nonetheless, lol
>>7908071you know the whole point of art is to be fun and expressive. even the advice that you hear from masters are just optional. as long as you don’t make ai slop and call it art you are a respectable artist.
>>7907752Sky is really pretty and the red eyes mesh well with it
Is there any way to make drawing more enjoyable? I like the idea of being an artist
>>7902143That's a pretty good analogy, anon. Thanks.
>>7894685>I like the idea of being an artistKEK
>>7894685>Is there any way to make drawing more enjoyable?Unironically work on it until you can see improvement. You do this by comparing your recent art to the old one.There's no bigger incentive than the realization that you are making progress.

ITT pencils only you like

I like them
It depends on which pencil
>>7870060Very good. Thank you anon
Hi anons i hope you all doing well btw here's a silent comic I've did in 6 days to challenge myself feel free to criticize so i can improve thank you page 1
>>7904477I guess he still lack confidence
>>7907420>he lack confidenceAnon, OP is already better than many people here by having the balls to work on comics
>>78586871st page has perspective issues sporadically. Biggest issue is that I don't know what I'm looking at in the bottom two panels. Why do they only have three fingers?>>7858688Pretty solid splash page.>>7858689Same here, although the kid clearly isn't actually sitting on their dad's shoulders.>>7858690Fairly solid page. Perspective issues again, but I don't get what emotion the bottom-right panel is implying.>>7858691Probably your best page. I could always tell what was going on.>>7858701Again, fairly solid. Things are jumping around quite a lot though so I'm only really following along that she wants to be a wrestler and not what's happening in the moment or where she is.>>7858719Good, emotional page.>>7858720Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>7858687first thing i noticed is the lack of lightingwhole panels where the only visible shadows are between someones chin and the neck (always in the drawn in same spot too) and within small fabric creases / places where a shadow should 'obviously' be.using lighting more decisively can create immersion, set moods, direct the viewers attention to whats important etc and when youre limiting yourself to black and white, lighting is one of one of the best tools for this stuff.
>>7909980>>7858687also because I love wrestling I drew the guy for you
Drawing Courses for beginners are made maliciously to farm cash from beginners because they are the biggest market.

>>7910012why
first time try drawing a comic on mspaint, thoughts?how can i improve?
>>7907905confusing dialog layout
>>7907905only use text for important stuff that can't be expressed visually. why not draw her generosity instead of explaining it? perhaps find a way of visually connecting the location instead writing "i will visit there" and "it was closed years ago".
>>7908440Show me your vision
>>7908440Ok
>>7908683No
>2026What is your first official (meaning you drew + finished it 100%) work of the New Year?Mine's is pic related

>>7886308Kind of brazen advertising
>>7907770it's kind of a based grift, not gonna liehe's been doing it for a VERY LONG TIME as well, I remember seeing him post in /lolg/ over at /vg/ for eons and apparently he still does it on /v/ as welli imagine this is what all schizophrenics ritual spammers would be like if they had actual hobbies, so for some reason I see it less maliciously

>>7894640The people who know what skeletons look like are chiropractors and they're considered pseudoscienceSurgeons will literally put your heel bones in backwards given the opportunity because they don't know shit about fuck
>>7894640I mean, some of the most well known manga artists were in medicine.
>>7895003You wrote this like a spaz but "just draw" is indeed garbage advice, it's hardly advice at all.
>>7894640I went to medschool. Artists know anatomy better than doctors (except surgeons) in many ways. It's not that funny, really.They'd be better with nerves and vascularity and how to name every small thing, but actual understanding? That's in the realm of the artist who studies it every day.Physicians are overrated in many, nany ways. Clueless, book smart practitioners, thinking themselves scientists.
>>7908141>Artists know anatomy better than doctorsyou're talking about unicorn artists who actually know their anatomy, which likely less than 1%most artists just make shit up or use references
