How do you even begin to make money from art? I've been posting on insta, reddit, sometimes tiktok but I get nothing. I'm struggling to even find a minimum wage job, I'm feeling really hopeless
>>7896844This guy has decent advice.https://www.youtube.com/@TheArtMentorI used to do freelance graphic design and I didn't need a fucking social media following to get clients. If you want to get paid, why are you giving away your work for free?I'm switching from design to art commissions and I'm using this guys advice + what I learned from freelance graphic design work.
>>7897664how did you get clients if you didn't use social media?
>>7897677Freelance websites (e.g. Upwork)AgenciesReferrals (if you deliver within a deadline you are ahead of 90%+ of freelancers and clients will recommend you)You just need a portfolio which you can make as PDF. Watch the channel I linked, I'm sure he has several videos on this exact topic.
>>7897684sounds very enticing. I'm watching the channel you linked, thanks
>>7897269>you probably need to start cheap as you build a followingThat's true, but only relative to your skill level to a certain extent. If you're some near industry level pro, I would say 80 dollars would be good starting out and if you're some guy /int/ or barely /int/ level, then 30-40 would be a good starting point. Like that famous Sweden tuber that people started sperging out about when he learned to draw in a few months, he can sell his artwork for hundreds to thousands just because his name is attached to it.
I need as many guides as possible for drawing large Butts that look like this.

>>7874129I cannot download this for some reason...
>>7858329>look so smug from someone within boinking distance
>>7867928thats because the actual hole and the bottom of the vaganus are actually quite far apart but the triangle this guy drew puts it really close up to it
>>7874129>when you procrastinate drawing so you hoard tutorials insteadi remember those days like they were yesterday...have a subscription from some porn on patreon i follow so i wont have issues downloading it all, ill let you know if it seems useful >>7892442thanks!
What's the Loomis for anime?
>>7896634Believe it or not, still Loomis. Supplement it with Jack Hamm.
>>7896639this shit is a meme and the translation sucks, on top of the figures being censored because china
My manga Loomis is Akihito Yoshitomi

So I made this video for some friends of mine that features a bunch of my artwork what do you think anon?https://youtu.be/AqsXBBHwyNo?si=f3jUOxAZlfhaUR5R
>>7896077Thanks for watching.
Well thanks for getting me over the one hundred view mark, I will continue to bump with more artwork if anyone is interested.
This is absolutely gorgeous work. I really love watching the paintings cure and all the weird movements they make doing so.
>>7896971Thanks for giving it a look. If you want to see more I can be found on instagram @sierramartinart
Happy to answer any questions anyone might have.
where is this light coming from??
Any sauce on the twins yet
>>7895335They need to be studied. what is even the point of this board if we can't get source on tits.
>>7893339use references with hard lighting, these images with soft lighting aren't easy to draw

>>7896353I started 3 months ago. It's still beg but I'm able to draw figures and stuff which is kinda daunting for begs

>>7897424yeah dude puts hours upon hours of work into rendering.
How does /ic/ go about differentiating their male and female characters?
>>7897089smooth female tiddiessmooth tight tummiesrough jagged male bodiessquarish musclesFuck unemployed art school students, the fuck will they do? Sue me? They can't even afford to live! lmao
>>7897089Well, men and women are different. There's a reason we look at characters and can immediately tell if it's a boy or a girl - and feel that it's bad character design if we can't (unless it's relevant to the story/character).That aside, almost all the points in your picrel I disagree with, except the female head being rounder. Plenty of men have big eyes, and smaller noses, or there are women with long heads and noses etc. etc.The big thing separating men and women is their jaws and their brows, and a few superficial things we associate with women because of makeup (fuller lips, bigger lashes - despite men actually having fuller lashes).
>>7897505>Well, men and women are differentStopped reading there. Go back to /pol/.
>>7897089Mainly the jawline and eye shape, I make the female jawline rounder while male one is more defined and slightly pointierYou can give women a bit of chin but the oval of the jaw should be smoothAs fore eyes again male I usually draw sharper, more square-ishLarger eyes and smaller nose are neotenous traits and while they can make a character more feminine they can apply to males too if he's youngEyelashes, rounder eyes and long hair help to differentiate but again not gender exclusive
>>7897089By drawing only female characters, I avoid this problem entirely.
Post stuff like this
>>7895543>just adds the hair and omits everything about actually adding details >the entire "tutorial" is just a lowkey flex made by disingenuous grifters off social mediaTotal Xitterfag Death.
>>7892322Unfortunately I didn’t find something focused on that only Rinotuna
>>7895736I never learned this while figuring out how to draw and now all of my guys look like girls. It's not the worst problem to have.
>>7895812>omits everything about actually adding detailsIt's an explanation of his posing and composition decisions. It's the opposite of detail.
What are the best websites to post your art on in 2026?
>>7892538>uhm did you know that character is a child?yes, that's why I drew her. cry about it
>>7897294The thing that AI does exceptionally well is wasting computer resources for output that’s worse than its input. You can fill terabytes of storage with shit within minutes for the low price of having to dedicate petabytes of storage to holding the training data. All services are already fucked by AI because of how expensive computer parts are, and you think that they should also all take the extra hit from having all the resources they already have being wasted on automated spam.
>>7892559>>7892595>>7892928>>7893658getting one's gallery purged at some advertiser's whim is not very based actually. newgrounds has been on a crazy "last bastion of free internet" larp for half of its existence now despite being totally cucked. even modern deviantart is less prudent
>>7897203>yeah, but they actually have money though. NG and DA are filled with underage shitters and 3rd worlders which means no money.So does those sites and many other sites. Being picky about which site you should post in doesn't seem like a good idea especially if you're looking for clout or money.
>>7897203>but they actually have money thoughpsst... no one tell him about all the asspies who will pay you 60 bux for a beg-tier fetishist art of their waifu on DA.>filled with underage shitters and 3rd worldersThey are more present on those other sites, since all their favorite e-celebs hangs out on them.

thank you op. i painted a pretty funny chess scene that i wouldn’t’ve without seeing your pic, and i really appreciate all the links.
gonna post it here since thread got archive'ddoes anyone have this giga cool book? this one might be a toughie, i haven't found it on yandex and honestly not even sure if it's on .pdf>Fundamentals of Creature Design: How to Create Successful Concepts Using Functionality, Anatomy, Color, Shape & Scale - Book by Alex Ries

Thoughts about this game? Seems to be extremely popular amongst japanese artists
>>7892995Mike didn't have social media, gaming, and streaming distractions.
>>7892618How do you know it’s popular among japanese artists and not japanese streamer artists?
Is there anything like this for mobile? A gamified to-do list with timers and a sense of "progression"?
>>7892771
>>7892771What is even happening? This shit is retarded niggertranny shit.
For permabegs, how many hours of drawing did it take you to realize you were a permabeg?
>>7896528Those figures are studies of Chinese figure gesture drawings from Pinterest.
>>7896528>they look goodit all looks shithe has absolutely zero sense of 3D
>>7897023Okay, and? >>78970313D isn’t necessarily a requirement for a drawing to look good. By this logic, most cartoon art styles suck because they don’t look 3D
>>7896194When you hit a plateau you can't overcome for years
>>7896521I feel like 99% of the terminology used on this board was made from the anger and frustration people on this board have of each other and some were definetly made to make themselves feel better.I can see someone who just started and went on this board for advice then getting shafted with nonstop insults making the "nodraw" terminology after being so frustrated with the people here. I feel sorry for the people who make these terms.
Do you take notes? Also why is this image so 3d?
>>7894314you can add 3Dness back by using shade and shadow
>>7894315you can also play with riples, clothing and line thickness
>>7894319finally as one anon already mentionned you can use perspective to your advantage
>>7891101The question was more> How does the body process this food into nutrition , then how is said nutrition used.or> How does eating actually work... like from a biological/medschool level
>>7897447Shouldn't you have learned this in middle school?
Is there any way to make drawing more enjoyable? I like the idea of being an artist
>>7894685draw a penis. on everything.
>>7895579>way to not even read the post, brainlet>beginners and nodraws think that it doesnt take hours upon hours to get to a good level and then you will still draw or paint several hours on a single piece at times>some /beg/ posts like a 10 minute drawing and asks why he did it wrong when the answer is obviousenlighten me
>>7895588Lol this looks like some shit table guy would do
>>7895406What the fuck kind of exp per level scaling is that.
>>7895570People need to think getting good at something is like a video game where you just wait for the progress bar to fill up and you become good. The reality is its more like pokemon where each pokemon has a cap on how their stats can ever be.
