>>7826179>you getting paid on commission or something?Is that not obvious? Use my link and buy a new iPad whatever right now.I just think you're being dismissive. But then again, if you're not using my referral link, I dont care. But I'd love to prove you wrong. Post your work, and I'll go unearth my 5+ year old Galaxy tablet and try and show you up. I'm still a /beg/ and I havent used a tablet in years, but I dont dismiss them.
>>7826180not sure what posting work has to do with anything but here you go https://x.com/dinglewizardit's pretty strange to see someone saying "i'm thinking of switching to a laptop" and rip into them for not thinking of getting a tablet instead.
>>7826182Oh Im arguing with a DIFFERNT aussie.God bless my luck. I'll die on this hill. Tablets are amazing to draw on.I need to stop arguing outside my timezone for various reasons, but in my defense, you are drawing for money, where most are not.Yes, you should get a laptop Cowboy. But 99% of dont need it
>>7826179>what's it to you anyway?Nta but as someone who used a touchpad, then a drawing screen connected to laptop, then finally a Samsung Tab S8, I always preach the word of portable android drawing tablets. It's just the ultimate option for me and even the midrange ones are good for the price and aren't too expensive imo. To each their own of course, I just love the marriage of portability and functionality.
>>7825916don't need much else>>7825898I'll post it here when it's done
>stunts a generation of artistsWhy did he do it?
>>7824977I did learned to drawed by observed the natured worlded
>>7812589When I first started drawing, everyone was saying "You have to do this first or you will NEVER be good". It's a sound way to make you understand perpsective and some concepts, but done in a vacuum it's utterly meaningless. This guy and every shill of his managed to make people believe that to be good at drawing you have to spend 100 hours doing chores instead of having fun.

I need as many guides as possible for drawing large asses that look like this.
>>7822561its in the boob thread. there's a post about his patreon work
>>7783529>>7809548Except for the fact that futa has nothing to do with troons or real-life cases of genetic disordersFuta has been a thing long before the whole tranny boom of mid 2010's, jerking off to women with a giant cock attached has less to do with one's actual sex orientation than most retards believe it doesIt's funny how both sides of the political spectrum want to cram a fucking fetish into the LGBT and show support/disgust towards anatomically impossible penises
>>7823103>picLol what's this from
>>7825635Nekoarashi.Some Japanese artist had to write an entire book to define what a futanari is because Americans are so fucking retarded with conflating the definition towards trannies, while not understanding its original meaning.
>>7823103To me it's just insane that most can't really differentiate fiction from reality and interpret fiction different from possible real life equivalents.If they're not trolling or if they're not actual trannies trying to gaslight and groom you.Shit will go too far that you'll be unironically called gay if you look at your own dick while pissing.

It's the two hide classes from coloso. I would ask on the video course general but its not here right now.
>>7823884Too late, I got your mom’s nudes.
>>7823890I'm just really worried that my stupid thread got the group banned. I think I'm going to have a panic attack.
>>7823884Did you use the new link from the new video general thread? The last one got taken down
>>7823904I used the old one! THANK GOD IT'S NOT MY FAULT I'M SO SORRY I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAULT I WAS ABOUT TO KERMIT SUDOKU PLEASE DON'T PASTE STUFF LIKE THAT IN PLAINTEXT AGAIN WAAAAH
>>7823071I get where you're coming from. I don't find his work impressive either, but I do like his approach on Gesture and Construction. To me, he offers some really interesting techniques in better ways to simplify the anatomy (which you could argue is far more useful with animation).These courses did get uploaded in the Video Course General, anyways. And honestly, the lectures aren't that bad.

>>7824972not him, your original post was about art sucking the life out of you, why are you such a defensive tranny when asked about jobs that don't suck?

>>7810933cosy and /fa/
Does anyone have advice on making cute moe characters look more masculine? I have been shifting styles lately but they just wind up looking like girls
>>7825468Longer face/thicker jaw if you're not willing to shorten the hair, but reference of thinner males, both stylized and IRL, so that you can see how to apply proper sexual dimorphism to your figure would also help as well.
>>7825468Ditch the big anime girl eyes for one. Its making him look female the most. Also study people who draw really attractive males and compare them to what you're drawing.
>>7825468the size of the eyes, thickness of the neck, slope of the forehead and size of the mouth relative to the jaw are whats making it read as female.

https://x.com/alphabetadrawsI mostly draw video game stuff or whatever I'm fixated on at the moment. I'm currently learning how to use values in my work.

Anyone else going full autism over settings and trying to create a process?I'm constantly thinking about which zoom level I'm at, what brush and brush size I'm using, and trying to make one rigid process I can following like a baking recipeAt this point it's just hindering me to draw and makes me burn out not too long into a drawing session
>>7817171Refs, sketch, line art, flats, lights and shadows (detailed texture) what else do you need
>>7817171>SettingsI mostly use default settings. Maybe I change an annoying shortcut or two?... Oh, and I changed the standard eye straining white background. I haven't played around with them in a long time otherwise.>ZoomI just just whatever allows me to see the entirety of the image, so usually just 100%>BrushI just use defaults, I'm sure I changed a few things at the start so they appeal to me a bit more.Stop overthinking it. Nobody cares about your process, they just care about the end result.>"Nobody cares about they process? So then AI-"Fuck off retard.
>>7817171Honestly yeah I'm getting that way about mannequinization and proportional models lately
>>7817184>No cuz i’m not an autistThe word Autist is a lot like the word Artist. You need to master both . One feeds the other.
>>7817171>DOOOOOOOD AUTISM IS SO CRAZY MAAAAAN HAHAHAHAHA SO TRUUUUUE
>NOOOOO! You can't draw for likes or views! You must drawing only for yourselfFuck that. I love the validation I get from high view counts. It's my main motivator and it's what drives me a lot of the time. Animating is long work and without an audience it's basically for nothing. I also submit to film festivals as well. If I'm not making shit for an audience I might as well draw floating cubes like the rest of you miserable people
>>7822427Forgot to say I don't draw coom art

Is there much of a point in doing portrait drawings for concept art?
buhuump
bump
inkblot test if he real
>>7728296Do you even know what CONCEPT art even means? it's developing CONCEPTS and IDEAS. It's literally in the name
Does this actually improve your reach?If you are verified, how much does X pay?
>>7825023The checkmark is an amazing self-own.It's incredibly funny seeing reactionary artists fall for it and continue to get shitty numbers (100-200 likes even though they have 20k+ followers)The true way to succeed is to draw whatever YOU love. Drawing trends and fanart for popular vtubers/artists is actually bad for your account and mental health in the long run.
>>7825023>Does this actually improve your reach?Yes, in fact it's pretty much required for growth if you don't have an established fanbase.>If you are verified, how much does X pay?Literal pennies.

thoughts on this video?
>>7823553>"Grrr, This video no have enough people watching for me to watch!"Actually, at the time of me writing this, it has 3.3K views, so I guess that means you will now watch the video and respect what he was to say, right popularity chasing fag?
funny how people who vent about the popularity economy and success about popularity are the ones who never were and are bitter about so from there views and ethics there "now successful" and dismissing what others are doing as not real success
>>7824191>???You might want to give this post another pass, chief.
>>7817793From the way she describes her butthurt about these pyramid scheme artist YouTubers selling influencer guides, it sounds like she was dumb enough to buy one and now she feels like an idiot and it's time to whine to the Internet about it
