Is becoming a social media artist worth it in the long run?Has anyone here ever gotten big from it?
>>7931644Eh it's fine if you're not a schizo. If anything, focusing on it a little too much can cause stagnation, but overall that's the only real issue I'd see, then again I'm a NSFW artist and I don't have to deal with much.
>>7931655Telipurte never even got into nsfw properly. He just did safe edging shit. Even echhi is more riske than what he did I don't know why he made such a big deal randomly out of nowhere and nuked his rep
>>7932291>soonThat nigga has been posting nsfw and has been big for years. The only thing new about him is the account he posts on
My fav artists have commented and liked my stuff so I made it
>>7931644I've been thinking about becoming a social media artist but the only (easy) option out there are either becoming nsfw or fanart artist, both requires you to communicate with people and keep up with trend, bonus point if you can somehow becomes 'entertaining' to them like kyle. Nsfw is where you can get easy followers, but then your account is going to be dirty - people will associate your name with nsfw stuff, there's no room for improvisation for yourself unless you want to resort to some niche /d/ tier fetish and entertain your own people. I mean, eventually people will get tired of seeing the newest fotm character dressed up in lingerie or drawn in a mombod in some seductive pose for god knows how many times, if you get what i'm saying.As for fanart, mainly gacha like genshin these days. You need to get into fandom, you need to know what's the newest character on the block, what's the newest ship that people (faggot, troons, and women) like, and keep drawing someone elses character in some random scenario. The catch is that you either have to be extremely good at drawing that people will follow you themselves or you draw some /beg/ tier art and have a good communication with that fandom to ensure constant engagement and interaction. Obviously there will be drama, lots of drama, but if youre an imageboard dweller I'm pretty sure you can tiptoe-ing your way around it.Anyway, since i'm not a people pleaser I decided to not becoming a social media artist and stick to 4cuck and dump my stuff here, but hey, maybe you or anyone itt will do it and took a thing or two out of my advice
Will this art book help me master perspective? Or are there better perspectives art book out there?
>>7935620>>7935772im thinking of making my own perspective book under a pseudonym, most perspective instruction out there is outdated af, rules and everything is taken for granted without a solid and simple foundation and extremely dry, dw zero math and no euclid level 2d geometry, thats a very useless way to understand perspective while trying to use it, but first i need the motivation to write the book which im drafting out, cant promise shit tho.
>>7937569>but first i need the motivation to write the bookIt was over before it even started. Humanity was cheated out of a revolutionary perspective technique because anon couldn't find motivation...
>>7938242### Section 2 - The Ray Model- Now we will cover how light reaches our eyes in the first place in a simplified way.- Light goes from a light source to bouncing around in the environment and eventually our eyes.- Ray tracing reverses this process, instead of trying to trace rays from a light source directly, instead we just trace rays from our eye to objects in the environment to the light source- For understanding perspective, we will only focus on the first rays we shoot out from our eye in this model to points in the scene and assume the eye is a perfect pinhole so the points in the scene hit by the same rays are in perfect clarity and seen as the same.- This will be the ray model of light, rays shooting out from a point that we call the eye/camera.- with this model of light, how our brain interprets those rays shooting out from our eye makes zero difference to us, if a piece of paper or a 3d scene has the same points hit by the same rays, then they will be seen as the exact samethis is like after explaining the pinhole camera and eye briefly and before vanishing points, im working on the book dw it just takes time, already have the outline for it and the structure is there for it, just that now i have to write things out, add diagrams, and other things and reorder things when things seem in the wrong order, since the book will include freehand drawing aswell not just construction, which would be used to bridge to free hand drawing naturally
>>7937569Do it anyways and drop the first edition on /ic/ in secret
>>7937569I would 100% read it

My index finger hurts like a motherfucker and so does the palm of my thumb but not as much. I hold both a mechanical pencil and digital stylus like this by the way. I had a problem before with the grip but I cant think of any reason why my index would hurt. Any ideas?
bump
>>7938500dynamically switch between different grips to make different kind of strokes and reduce strain. using the same grip all the time will cause overuse injuries.
post webm of you draw simple figures, because what the fuck
Get a tablet stand and draw with your elbows and shoulders more often. Keep a loose grip on your pen. I use a writing grip which is the same as my drawing grip. If you're still having pain or inflammation it's probably a good idea to go see a physical therapist.
>>7938500You are pushing too hard. Likely due to the choice of lead being too light. I just saw someones art in another thread. You have to stop being afraid to make a mess. Use a darker lead, don't press as hard, your finger will get stronger.

>>7939608Shouldn't this be a good thing for a fag like you? normies have low standards and are the people that actually pays for art the vast majority of the time. if you don't care about normies then don't post your art anywhere except in some small group chat of your, dumbfuck.

What canvas size do you draw on? I've started to think 9000x8000 is too large. I draw on an iPad so it's especially dumb, I can't even more my arm like that most of the time.
>>7939914>their>t-slur
>>7938509I just draw on 2000x2000 and around that resolutions
I can only draw at a small size because going bigger makes my lines look shakier and worse.
>>79399241800-2000 x the same. my free program limits the size and layers, and this means i’ll still have enough memory to power the usual amount of layers i need to use. sometimes when i’m hardly using any layers i increase the dimensions of the canvas as i work to start new illustrations to the side. it can become 3000 something. i usually end up with maybe 8 small simple color illustration roughs on a page. i love procreate but it’s only problem for me has always been sizing and resizing issues. if i scale down to upload, work immediately pixellates even when it doesn’t make sense to, and i’m seeing individual pixels not irregularly as i work, at 100% zoom. oh well.

Thoughts on this book?
>>7935267there are so many scans with this communist patina on top, absolutely disgusting for books that have beautiful visuals, truly demonic.
>>7935267I'm looking at the archive upload, and it seems to be decent enough? The images are discernible, and the text is legible. I've seen infinitely worse scans.
>>7935804The sticky was right all along. Back to Drawabox dot com.

Box GOD
>get drunk >get bored>decide to do some reference copying by sight>end up creating an image better than the referenceno but seriously am i delusional or is this ACTUALLY better than the source material? my proportions are much better and more expressive and the way that the lines are drawn make it seem more... visionary? like look into the eyes of my sketch, then look at the reference. reference is bland and boring, but if you look at mine the eyes look like they're gazing into your soul
>>7936560Based

>>7936556Both are good, they're just different styles, though I do like yours more.
letting go of inhibition will improve your art, yes. Don't rely on getting drunk, though.
>>7936556I wish I had friend to get tipsy and draw stuff with.
was jane a good artist?
>>7937116pretty beg, stiff pose, flat symbol face, and that knee on the right is beyond fucked. Could've made int but probably got crabbed too hard on /ic/ and that's why she did drugs.
>>7937116No. But would you be able to tell her, anon?
>>7937116Mid to high beg. If I'm not mistaken she made sketches/drawings for tattoo artists? She seems to have focused on learning that very soft shading, characteristic of some neotrad styles. Lines are very precise too, as one would expect.Can't say I consider the style appealing, but I'd certainly have a couple things to learn from her.
>>7937244she wouldnt be able to speak ever again for her life would be spent gagging on my cock ever more
>>7937116Unironically sovlful afShe was completely unburdened by fundies and just drew what looked appealing to her
I know this has been asked a million times already but I've been wanting to start drawing for over a decade and it just never happens because it's so daunting and I have no idea where to start. I've read the sticky and bought books and watched youtube videos and nothing happens.I think I just need something highly accessible and easy to follow that I can start with and find engaging.
>>7931690idk just draw
>>7931690Do this until you get something you want to draw again.https://youtu.be/1OSWR7xiQLk?si=FqCWUkaaPRU-6Q4e Explore, have fun exploring, and don't despair when you don't get anything Good. No one should be looking for judgment now in your experiments, building towards your first Real Work that you did all the homework for in its design and composition. This video is simple to mimic, and might give you the next Cool Thing. Let's see.
>>7937402
>>7931690take something interesting and draw it. if you have an artist you like try to replicate. try to reproduce that image yourself. get bcomplex vitamin can help too with these fatigued states people find themselves in. and good music.
Without reading the thread, you don't If you were intelligent enough you'd have figured it out by nowAI already filtered all low iq subhumans like (You) so genuinely go do something else

>>7931062Check your USB cable specifications, I had this issue with my XP pen tablet that I tracked down to the cable. In my case my tablet needs USB 3.1 gen 1 at least superspeed at 5gb/s I bought a longer cable and it only registers as high speed which is 480 mb/s. I could not find anything on the Internet about this. With any hubs or splitting in between could exasperate this issue. On the Internet artists always say defective send back or reinstall the drivers.You have to buy a properly rated USB cable which I have found to be a massive pain in the ass as cables on Amazon don't really show this information. Usually the one that comes with it will be properly rated. You can also double check in the OS for what speed your cable is connected at.
>>7939076To add to this, in my case with that big speed differential I got massive stuttering a lot more then yours. What I would do, is if your using a different cable then the one it came with plug that one in and see if the problem still persists. If it doesn't then check the speeds registered by the OS of each of the cables.What's frustrating is that it fails silently with no warning to the user. There's nothing to bubble up from the driver of it failing to transfer data fast enough, so I assume it just silently drops USB frames and you get stuttering.
>>7933095>shit-talks on an entire brand of tablets>too much of a pussy to name the device so that people can avoid it
