>>8035869>Why did did the cute guy study general get replaced by this?Alright, it's been a year, so I'll quench your curiosity lol/cgsg/ was too limiting. Its main demographic, women, often drew things outside of "cute guys," so we made a sister thread (/fyi/wao/) where people could post other stuff while also welcoming women who'd previously been excluded. Eventually, /cgsg/ became even more inactive. We kept it around to give the people who remained the opportunity to keep the community running for themselves, but since the carrying demographic had moved on, there weren't enough active users to sustain it. Aaaand I'm very busy, so... Eventually, it just died, and that's history!>alsoI will not be commenting or answering further on this topic. Thank you and have a nice day!
>If it reads like bait, don't respond. Just report.
>If it looks like bait don't engage with it either.Will be added to the next OP as well.
>>8036422Thanks, that's good enough of an explanation.>>8036432I wanted to post an attractive man and came back to /ic/, only to see the thread requirements change.
who is the artist of this piece and can I follow them somewhere? I know this was posted sometime ago in these threads. Love the artwork.
>subscribe to artist on patreon for exclusive content (PNG files / Alts)>they zip everything for monthly releases in DMs to stop scrapers>punished for being a legitimate customer and/or not being a subscriber from day 1
you can always ask them for older stuff,you know?
>>8038147i did, actually, and i managed to get the files i was looking for. that being said, a lot of artists with the monthly ZIP thing tend to only give out one ZIP per month of subscription, so if you are looking for their entire old library, it's usually not possible. luckily, i am an autist who was only interested in art of my favorite character, so it was easy.
>>8038131i miss back when artists just sold their monthly zip folders on gumroad, before they did a tumblr and banned porn. i have seen at least one artist use a similar site called e-junkie however the files were backed up on Mega and the download links were busted.
>>8038131You should have a lot of non-paywalled posts anyway. If you have no non-paying Patrons nobody will see your "subscribe to unlock" paywalled posts.Patreon is free. You don't need to paywall everything.
>>8038253more baseless theories Just sell “how to succeed with patreon” course and become a full-time grifter. Instead of larping like you’re an expert here.

>>8034234>>8037179 >>PAGE 25 -FIXED-I had to do a full revision on the last page. Being away from the drawing board for a few days threw me out of it, gotta get into it back again now.
>>8037179Yes, I champion both the joy of storytelling and world building. And I like to point new artists in useful directions when it comes to the craft aspects of drawing something "worthwhile", or in hopes of some later work with that nebulous quality. I am glad to witness true Inspiration and have no advice whatsoever for you, and that is the compliment. :D
And this is where the character came from...
I will be drawing this, feel free to join me
>>8036823the funny thing is that you don't draw
adda go
>>8037958Good effort. The coloring could use more work but the proportions are good.
>>8036823Isn't this literally a man?? Are you retarded
Does anyone on here actually make any cartoons?I used to do it a lot but sorta... stopped for a while.Made a new one recently after like 3 years.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55jWbkmX3lcGo ahead if you make cartoons and post them here. It's good stuff.
>>8038224we have an animation general
>"Gege Akutami is one of my biggest art influences">bruh.gif>"What's your favorite artist">"Have you heard of this 79 years old epic fantasy illustrator/french comic book artist who was popular 40+ years ago?"
>>8036904The homo larper who has an anime boy as his avatar is obviously going to pretend he liked the big thick bookThese faggots need to be raped back into the closetIt is literally>I like anime and video games>heh casual have you tried slurping schlong
>>8036923Russian culture is an exercise in moralism and masochism to justify and rationalize their own barbaric nature that hasn't changed since they were colonized by the Mongols and I'm glad more and more people are waking up to their scam.
>>8037401chainsawman part 1 is pretty good
>>8036904>Why yes, my biggest literary influence is Tatsuki Fujimoto, how could you tell?
>>8038172just like christianity, but russians took the honest ans hardworking route.
And here's my mandatory black person:
>>8038162I suppose not, it was more likely than being born Inuit or something.Still, I don't like it when people assume that someone from any race in an artwork was placed there just specifically to piss them off.Unless it's obvious ragebait.
>>8036622>person
>>8036622Very good OP, here's my bi-annual black person drawing!
>>8038162well i don't remember seeing a character select screen when i was a sperm in my dad's balls so yeah
>>8037063black zoomer men tend to be competitive fighting game nerds in my experience. they're pretty chill too, it's like comparing urkel versus tyrone. "japan" is no longer the domain of white basement dwellers, animeslop and nintendies are very popular with stacies and minorities too.>>8036769>>8036624the average american is overweight, but for some reason, black women tend to be on the upper scale of "overweight", the US demographic for black people is also extremely skewed towards women since black men tend to get shot or go to prison so a lot of black women are lonely.
itt post interesting poses
/lwad/#2Previous: >>7849114I've obtained a prescription for (generic) Adderall and wanted to experiment on how it affected learning to draw. I opened this thread to document my progress and for everyone else's observation / amusement.My goal with this thread is to simply take an Adderall and draw for at least a couple hours a day and post the results. Realistically I may miss some days. The hope is to keep these threads ongoing until I'm either satisfied with the progress documented, or I crash out.Probable Questions:>Why?Whether or not medicating has a significant effects on learning, if it only has a partial effect on some related disciplines that go into drawing, or it arguably had no major effect at all, I want this thread to feed into any discussion as a case example. I also chose /ic/ since I know this board doesn't pull back punches.>Are you actually diagnosed with ADD / ADHD?Yes, ADD. I believe inattentive. Been diagnosed since 2003 but never treated long-term.>How old are you?31.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Gonna try another one of these. Lacking the words at the moment, feeling a convention cold coming on.
Super sick, all I could muster today. Slept all day with runny nose.Definitely got some convention flu or cold.
Ogey feeling better, still sick but I got an hour in.
Fully packed day so I squeezed in an 18 minute study with the briefest of screentime squeezed in.The main landscaping project I was working on is done. Really it's phases 1/3 but it was the most time intensive one.
Often torn between>I'm getting tired of this one>But I set all this up, if I shade correctly this will be fire>But I fucked this and that upAll can be amended with drawing more, as a legendary anon once said.
Have you jumped into the latest fotw trend? The simplistic design makes it easy to capitalize on it even if you are /beg/.Literal free engangement (this will be outdated by tomorrow so be sure to submit your piece today)
>>8038037>faps to kirbyBro? I swear to God in heaven I have not thought of Kirby's mouth clinging to my cock until you mentioned this. Are you sure you're not the projecting tranny in the closet repressing its kinks?
>milennial trying to sound youngcringe
>>8038041I am young.
>>8038035Bold to assume that anon has a girlfriendI'm like 90% sure that's the "oh woe is me nobody likes me boo hoo" anon that's been whinging around the place
>>8038005this is a-social media. very impersonal and more subject focused, despite some plebbitors thinking otherwise.
this shit is IMPOSSIBLE
>>8036316Timmy got filtered by gook iq
I don't get it, what's impossible about it? How is this any harder than basic 2 p perspective
>>8038083well, its a kitchen first of allneed i really say more?
>>8037259I honestly have no idea, though here's my theory from what I've seen in the past...
>>8037259you dontjust observe the world, consider your composition and apply appropriate foreshortening
IT'S UP BOYSWho's gonna take on the challenge?
>>8031312bump because i will not accept this important thread being derailed off the catalog.
>>8032440Isn't that what Inktober is? Or do you mean one for paints or some other medium, since Inktober is explicitly for inking?
>>8032440Yes, it is called Inktobereven if you make it with trad tools or digital toolsIt's a cloutfest, suck some of the clout anonhop on
bumpingI've started some line work on things, getting ideas together. For personal reasons, hard to get into it this year
>>8037673I have no ideas but I'm already pooling a folder with references and shit
is my wip any good
>>8035080I think it looks good so far, anatomy is just a tiny bit wonky on certain places, but easy to fix. However Love the atmosphere, really nailed the mood!
>>8035080Love it so far, keep us updated.
>>8035080Too dark
>>8035080its better than anything i could ever do
This looks good so far, but I think upping the brightness from the lamp would make it really great. Do you post anywhere?
Currently learning to do value studies. I like to make a posterized version of the reference as well as a high contrast version. Is there any way that to proceed from this posterized stage to studying the original that makes sense? Or is this as far as I reasonably push this version of the study, method wise, and I then begin a separate study of the original?Working in Rebelle, any and all pointers appreciated!
OP here, I expected to take a little beating and did not leave empty handed. Although very fair points about neglecting the groundwork and needing to be more diligent about structure and form. The painting was hastily and lazily put together for the purpose of exploring methods of studying value. I was unaware of the \beg\ thread and will stick to that moving forward>>8036931Great point about not being able to disassemble the work into geometry, I think I'll dial back the posterization use and try to use my brain more instead. I can already feel it kind of fucking with my head in ways I don't grasp which is not a good sign.Thanks for the input! Rebelle is wonderful so far>>8037041Gemini or not, this was great and I'll look more closely at the five value system and "local values" which I am completely unfamiliar with.Thanks and have a great day>>8036937I think it is pretty clear that I am establishing and making notes of what parts of the portrait share the same values
>>8036854Study how to shade basic forms and dont be afraid to pull them up even when shading. Experiment with one color so that you can learn the range of different values within the same colorDo black and white value studies so you can learn how to hard shade and therefore identify darks quickerAlter how many values you use. Sometimes use 5, sometimes use 2. Draw from life. Put a toilet paper roll in the light and analyze how it works as a basic cylinder.
>>8037041Local value is huge too, almost forgot that. Really important when drawing nature. Plus understanding light. Steve Huston talks about shading in depth
>>8036854guess it and then check the photo how far you are off also send og ref of pic related
>>8037106>I think it is pretty clear that I am establishing and making notes of what parts of the portrait share the same valuesYou were notThe program did that, you just copied it's results
What happens if i lowkirkenuinely close my eyes and can't imagine just how the FUCK does the thing i have to draw look? Like how is a woman with a staff on her hand ment to be on the exact pose where shes just going to stand up, like hand on her knee hunched over and pushing up, but she has a staff on her hand so she would have her right hand not leaning on her knee but, i guess holding the staff upwards, holding up to it, but then that fucks up the movement of her, like she no longer seems to be about to push her body forwardsAnd before you say it have a manly man ass body, the reference doesn't work, specially my shoulders dont have the same sucked into the clavicle look the character has and i cant just invent in what direction they go
>>8037800that sketch of you holding the mop is greatnow I understand you're going for a comic or something sequentialyour readers don't need that many panels to understand movement, but you should choose the frames that capture the most energy or with the best potential for compositionyou can also try moving the camera either above or below and see if it makes it more interesting
Stop trying to draw heckin badass fantasy warrior women in battle poses and stick to sketching references for like 5 more years at least. Its gonna be a never ending, frustrating battle otherwise. Gigamassive beginner trap
>>8037821But i am doing thatConsistently I take classes
>>8037838Maybe you just don't have talent. Not all people can become artists, tbqh.
>>8037821Horrible advice, dont listen to this faggot.You're gonna have to make attempts at drawing these things at Some point if that's what YOU want to draw.Yes references are important but ONLY sketching references for 5 years straight is counterintuitive advice that doesn't get you where you want to go.You havr to see how your mind processes certain ideas into an image so that you can tweak from there and elarn from our mistakes Mistakes are inevitable, you gotta make a bunch, and the only way to do it os to keep drawing what you want/need
