>>7842477Perspective looks a bit messed up. I noticed this initially on the left cheekbone compared to the right.Should've done more drawing.

I have ~1000 followers on twitter drawing cute anime girls. I only have posted sfw drawings, but lately i've been drawing nsfw that I haven't shared. I will start a new secret account where I'll post nsfw drawings and try to get some Patreon/Fanbox supporters, then see which account gets more money before june 2026, sfw commisions, or supporters/nsfw commisions in a brand new account. Which one do you think will win?Pic below is mine.
>>7842296My fear isn't getting ridiculed for my art.My fear is no will be there to ridicule it.
>>7842282I've never been consistent with posting in social media, sometimes i don't post for a month or two, so that's probably why.Also yeah, people who wouldn't spend 3$ for a patreon/fanbox subscription most likely won't spend 1$ either
>>7842299do not fear, please post it here so we can ridicule it
Probably the sfw one, not that I doubt your abilities or the general demand for porn but if you start an account from scratch the algorithm will bury you.
>>7841577Grabnlue Fantasy gets a western steam release in march. So jump on that bandwagon too.

>>7841709That's what I figured, I remember some of the early, eagerly awaited rips. They were in a no mans land of being targeted at /beg/s but way over their head and not useful as a masterclass if you are beyond that level. So they suit nobody.You'd think after seeing enough courses that the nodraws would realize there's no secret.
>>7841701Teaching is actually really hard. Designing and testing a course with real students takes years. They just grab popular artist on social media and make them throw together a random course.
>>7841701pyw
>>7841713But now we got hide who is actually able to teach.
>>7842527I'm genuinely curious why so many praise him and his course? What's the difference with Hampton's courses?
What's your biggest art secret?
>>7840774Lmao >>7840776 isn’t me but here’s something I did a few days ago
>>7841284To help maintain structural indegrity.
>>7841465This but I have to get up to pee every so often which disrupts flow
>>7842487I bought a gallon of Arizona Lemonade and when I'm working I just fill that up and empty out at the end of the day, other than that you're supposed to get up every so often to look at your work from a different perspective to see if it's reading well.
>>7840776>>7841482I kneel.
Post good concept art
>>7842131Here's Giger's Batmobile.
>>7840544Louise Zingarelli is a great artist.
>>7841131That game doesn't need a sequel in the slightest, but damn would I love one, I feel like there's so much to that game's world left to explore, and the characters are so great - and of course more relevantly to the board, the presentation just oozed charm.Totally a monkey's paw wish though, the sequel would no doubt be ungodly amounts of shit... but a man can dream.
So much kino in one thread. Big thanks to everyone for contributing, these are all great

How does one draw characters with extremely complicated designs?I always struggle to draw them, having to see the character from multiple angles, and even then I end up messing up certain details or things just don't "fit" in the character in bizarre an unexpected ways. For example, let's say a character has 3 details between their knee and foot; When I try to draw it, there's no room for all 3, they just don't fit. The more details a character has, the more "lost" in the design I feel. I start losing sense of shapes and where everything should be, and everything just becomes a blob of details. It gets really bad with stuff like complicated japanese kimonos with layers that I just can't wrap my head around where they begin or end.I know one solution is heavy reference, understanding how the clothes work. But that's not always an option, and is not always needed: Some people draw characters full of details with no issue, with barely any art or reference to draw from. And I want to know how.Picture related. Not really talking about this picture or character in particular, just thought hoyo designs in general fit this bill pretty well and am using it as an example, but it's not limited to their designs, and this is probably not the most complicated hoyo design, it's just the one I had at hand.
>>7839675....Box rotations like this work but only if you know how that object looks like at that angle the box you're imagining or drawing inside of you've chosen. Boxes and cylinders are useful for general orientation, but they don't solve proportional or shape knowledge that's more important
>>7839649Carefully
>>7839649>How does one draw characters with extremely complicated designs?start with the big shapes, draw the medium shapes within, and then the small shapes within thosenot every big shape needs shapes within it
>>7841134you're retarded
>>7839649>The more details a character has, the more "lost" in the design I feel.That's busy designs in a nutshell. Consider taking out a detail or simplifying said details.>I always struggle to draw them, Sounds about normal. The more details and gradient colours a character has; the less identity they have because they're basically relying on trinklets and render effects to stand out. Hoyo designs are pretty but despite the amonts of effort that go into them, they're paradoxally generic. It's a problem with modern jrpg-inspired game in general. Designs from FF7 to 9 may just be the result of tech limitation but their simplicity and limited palette colours is a big part of why people can easily identify them. Nintendo characters are another example or that (ex: Samus, Link...).>>7839656> completely detached from general drawing skill.Much like a solid and polished render can distract people from some abyssmal lineart work or some bad anatomy. It's one tool in the kit. There used to be an organic order to learning how to use these tools but art softwares allows people to take shortcuts so artist who grow frustrated with something can jump to the extra classes and master renders or effects long before they understand the essentials.

>>7843592The comic itself makes fun of that same irony out there in mainstream media. I hate that comic, but I hate much more the cynical crap that it makes fun of.Kill and murder is good and fine, love and sexiness is wrong and bad. It's almost like if SATAN rules everything on this bitch on an earth

How to draw a cozy vintage book store?
95% of what makes a background appealing is how you dress itTry adding a bunch of different sized boxes in the scene while considering their placement in relation to each other, if you want you can add a door and imagine it's an actual roomRotate some of the boxes, stack the boxesAlternatively you can trace a scene and just turn everything into boxes

Are disney animators a bunch of hacks?https://youtu.be/CLQXJ9h3HBI
>>7840660Why bother when they can just use AI to generate 2d sketches and in the future they can generate frames?FIFY
>>7840654You've either never seen the movie or are so /beg/ you can't see the glaring differences between the referenced material and final product. Either of which should prevent you from commenting like this.Inb4 you were just pretending to be retarded.
>>7839520I always knew they were frauds. I remember seeing a Snow White documentary and they literally rotoscoped the entire movie
>>7839520Yes, if you're not able to choreograph dance routines you'll never be a true artist. Get to work.
>>7842268This, but unironically
is there a way to get rid of this tooltip without turning windows ink off?
nobody else is getting this issue?
I've never experienced this, are you sure it's windows ink? Have you got your tablet's drivers installed as well? I'd assume this may be caused by the use of window's tablet drivers, rather than official drivers of your tablet, though I'm hardly a computer expert and may be pulling this entirely outta my ass.
>>7840825it goes away when disabling windows ink, so i assume its related to it. got wacom's drivers installed.
havent tried it myself but i found this. https://windhawk.net/mods/no-windows-ink-tooltips
>>7841282update, yeah this works. thanks me!
so I've been sketching a little here and there and posting occasionally on doodl.it.com but I can't seem to get anything as good as this beautyany tips?
>>7842053>any tips?yea close the tab before the pedos show up
>>7842053Lol hey I drew thatMy number one tip is to not worry about doodl.it.com because it's dogshit. But if you're really determined/masochistic the "secret" is just knowing how to mix colors by layering them with lower opacity. Pay close attention to when and where you lift your pen or everything will mix together and turn into an ugly mess really fast.Keep in mind the replay of this drawing doesn't show the sketch I was coloring underneath because I hid the layer. And I was just copying Bouguereau so try just copying something lol
how did you guys learned to draw?what books, videos helped?
You have to actually draw, keep drawing, and try to make your drawings better. There are no other actual answers. All videos, courses, materials, what the fuck ever is secondary to that. But you already know that and are only procrastinating by making this thread. Go draw, go study, apply your studies to your own work. Or live the rest of your life yearning for a skill you will never possess.
>>7836788I went to a school and they teach me how to draw
>>7836788Copied artists I liked when I was a kid. Then started drawing my own things and that evolved into drawing all of my own stuff. Take a look at artists you like and explore what you like about their work.
>>7836788just by drawing
>>7836788I defeated a gatekeeping /int/ in single combat and absorbed his art powers
How did he get so good in just 100 drays? Does anyone know what books or youtubers he watched to learn how to draw?
>>7841026He copies drawings and find out that he enjoyed coloring more than drawing
didn't make shit threads on /ic/ or cope about his lack of ""talent"" and instead drew
>>7841254>once I’m rich and famous I’ll have permission to draw2026 is gonna be your year right?
>>7842203are you going to donate to my OF?
>>7841026Most people who say that they draw a year usually draw every few days so they have mileage of someone drawing much less. Here, hope it helps. Mileage is everything. Even if you choose sub-optimal training routine you will always mog someone who did half of what you did.
I wish I was good enough to draw something like this in public
>>7839499just draw in public a few thousand times and you'll get there
>>7839499...that's... Kinda ugly. Even with the leprechaun. Ok I lied, the leprechaun IS the problem. No wait, am I?
>>7839499Is there Copy Bridgman Twice-equivalent for non-human objects?
>>7839499I just dont see the enjoyment in drawing like this. its beautiful but if I am able to do it, then its not impressive to me. I only want to draw things beyond my level, which means I am studying, and if I'm studying then I'm not outside.
>>7839499That doesnt look like a drawing done outside. Most likely studio work after a sketch.
