Hello, this is my first time posting here.
(Actually, I posted another drawing yesterday, but it was removed, and I didn't see anything strange in the rules)
Well, I made this drawing some time ago, colored pencil on A3 paper (420mm x 297mm).
I would like to hear your honest opinions. I intend to dedicate more time to drawing.
I'm also looking for ways to promote my art (if I should... I think so).
>>

>it was removed
Usually posting a whole entire thread for your art is discouraged and it's better to post in a general instead, such as the beg and int general. This is because if everyone made a thread for their art, the board would be overfilled with just that.
It is also discouraged to post using a name here as everyone is anonymous.
As for your drawing, I have no critique, I think it looks nice.
For ways to promote your art, maybe try posting in some Christian subreddits? No clue.

I read and have a lot of comics and manga on my shelves and imho they have an equal ratio of stinkers and thinkers. Good comic bad comic good manga bad manga etc etc. There are Alex Toth runs of Question and then there are Zach Baldus runs in X-Men. Manga is a little more interesting because many books are absolute fuckshit and get better as the artist learns, then there are standout titles like Vagabond which are good cover to cover, and sometimes you get Demon Slayer which is consistently bad.

You still don't get it.
Japan makes all kinds of shit in all kinds of magazines for all kinds of people.
Jewmerica shoves whatever they're trying to force the goyim to accept into Superman and X-Men then prevents any indie books tying to give people what they actually want from getting to the shelves through a distribution monopoly.

There is a difference between a comic scene making a little of something of everything and if you want it then its there and a duopoly comic group that insists that you WILL only enjoy the product they shovel out or else you're 95% out of luck.

Whats with the hype around bristol board?
This shit is coarse as fuck and doesn’t hold on to graphite for shit.

Pic related is mechanical pencil with 2b 0.5 lead on generic printer paper (top) compared to bristol (bottom).
>>
>>7483002
because you bought the wrong kind
>>
>>7483002
pretty sure people hype up smooth bristol board, not the rough one
>>
bro bought bristol vellum and complained about the tooth . You were that dumbass earlier saying that you thought printer paper is better than bristol board weren't you.
>>
>>7483002
What are you hoping to achieve with bristol board?

If you're looking to ink, then it's a great medium. For pencils? Well, there are better options out there. Smooth bristol board is generally what comic artists use, since it doesn't bleed through. Also it provides a smooth drawing surface.

For something like a mechanical pencil, I wouldn't recommend the vellum you're currently using. The rougher surface benefits more from traditional charcoal, pencils, pastel, etc.

I'd say look for bristol that's smooth, or paper that's hot pressed. If you want something with tooth and a rough texture, then go for vellum or cold-pressed paper.

Who is your favorite artist/ streamer and have you ever considered art streaming?
Also, the most famous art streamer to this day is Bob Ross.
>>
>>7483492
Franklin Booth, Bernie Wrightson, Earl Oliver Hurst, Edward Hopper, Satoshi Kon, Jean Giraud
Hugo Pratt, Adam Adamowicz, Bruce Timm, Peter Chung, Hayao Miyazaki, and Genndy Tartakovsky.

I suck at picking a favorite. I appreciate them all for different reasons. I could probably keep going if I wanted to.

I don't think I'd be a good fit for streaming, I mostly just doodle in 30-40 minute increments, then go on a walk, then come back to continue drawing.

There are 2 types of anime enjoyers: the person who watches anime and the person with untreated mental illness who latches onto an identity. The mentally ill person needs to simultaneously be a victim and a hero and anime used to provide the perfect economy for that. Anime is normiecore now and they just crash out because they can't be outcast by their hobbies. They have always been like this. Look up usenet discussions that talk about 90s anime, they have always "been this way." Conclusion: it isn't about anime, it's about mental illness.

unironically autistic 1000 year old elf mage who collects magic spells goes on a journey to revisit all the places she went to decades prior with the first real party she joined as she was on a journey to defeat the demon king, but now with two new companions wich are the apprentices of two of her previous party mates which one is also an autistic genius for magic and the other is just a young clueless meat head wanting to fuck the autistic girl because she has enourmous fucking bazoongas while Frieren keeps discovering feelings and shit because she keeps having flashbacks of the previous party and how the hero wanted to fuck her but she was too autistic to notice at that time.
Elves in this world have an incredibly long life span but aren't interested in anything other than what their autism tells them to obsess over. Basically, the ultimate and idealized form of autism.

100 years after the defeat of the demon king, the demon race is still alive and humans think they can coexist with them because they appear and talk like humans and also because of the economy and shit, while Frieren knows they just mimic humans to get near them and eat them.
It's basically the meme of autist < psychopath < normie.

It's a cozy anime about how being passive or obsessing over a single thing can come with regrets and lost loves and friendships, with some peak moments sprinkled here and there, but the story really tries to tearjerk you to no end.

I personally rely on lighting to help sell a mood I'm trying to achieve. The same scene can take on an entirely different vibe simply by changing the color, intensity, and position of the lighting.

Hey /ic/, I need your advice on something that happened.

I was talking to a fairly well-known Twitter artist about a commission. I wanted them to draw Yoru from Chainsaw Man, pointing at the sky while the Statue of Liberty above her was starting to crack, revealing the devil inside. The artist was really nice, professional, and even cracked a few jokes during our conversation. We were getting to know each other, and everything was going well.

At one point, they mentioned that the level of detail I wanted would take a while maybe 2-3 months max since their style is technically and artistically demanding, and they already had a few works in progress. As a joke, I said something like, "Maybe you should start training an AI to emulate your style and just do manual touch-ups for accuracy."

Before that, our replies were pretty fast, almost like a back-and-forth conversation. But after I made that joke, they suddenly stopped responding for nearly 30 minutes. When they finally replied, they just said, "I'll get back to you if I'm available for your request."

I got the feeling I might have offended them, so I apologized and admitted that my joke might have been insensitive. But they haven’t responded since yesterday.

Do you think I really upset them to the point where they won’t take my request, or am I overthinking and they’re just busy? As artists, what do you think I can do to make amends? I’m genuinely feeling so down about this. :(

P.S: I do not support AI "art" and am strongly against it for obvious reasons. I just wanted to make a joke, but I feel it backfired?

Artists, specially twitter artists are overemotional chirldren with the emotional maturity of a 4 yo. I've dealt with them for over a decade and seen the most retarded things make them go on insane tirades, you can be the only, single NEUTRAL comment on the dozens of replies, saying something like "those lines are very thick" and it'd send them on insane tirades about toxicity and the unfairness of criticism.

Yeah you might have lost your chance, but guess what, there's plenty of fish in the ocean, find another artist.

Its just completely unnatural to receive critique from a stranger in that manor. Its not how humans ordinarily behave. People will search for deeper meaning behind a post like that because of how little sense it makes. Ultimately, they will simply assume you were being a cunt or attempting to draw attention to yourself.
