Post progressPost your progress, post others.Six or seven months in.
>>5857159Thanks. I love flat colors/flat/lineless art but at this point I can tell part of the reason I do it so much is that I dont have to deal with shading. Need to expand.
>>5852343Lmao what a boomer
>>5857185Yep! Lol funny enough I ended up keeping that hairstyle as well but ditching the tit size for something a bit smaller.
I've made no progress the last year and a half, so this is still relevant.
>>5853258About how many hours a day do you draw?
Can you get sued for blatant tracing?
>>5859707My intent is not to become an artist but to just produce art for my projects.
>>5859328Are you kidding me?Only a begtard wouldn't know what tracing means
>>5860072>get called out>trace>winThat's how it goes down in my case
Related.One schmuck at work is pretending this Terminator eye prop is his own. It's even clear that he used magic wand to snip it out.Haven't found the source yet but it's probably a cyborg/terminator eye stock image.

What's the best spiral-bound sketchbook for general drawing and gouache? Something not too expansiveI saw a lot of people using this one, but I don't know if it's good
>>5859903What others toned papers would you recommend? I bought this and I like it but I would like to use try another sheet color that help to emphatize the values
Buy loose paper and a clipboard. Store the paper in folders when you are done, hang up the ones you like on your wall to inspire you to keep going everyday. Replace the ones on your wall when you get better with newer ones. You can use acid free printer paper for most of your work but there are also tons of loose reams of better paper to buy for different media etcYou can even get loose paper of your choice bound into a book if you really want a sketchbook format.
>>5860053Besides this one and the gray one (I prefer the warm tone), I've tried the paint-on (I've observed it discoloring easily over a few days of partial sunlight; not a big fan of it as a drawing surface, but the paper is cheap and can take some acrylic & gouache), hahnemuhle cappuccino sketchbook (expensive, not spiral-bound, nice paper for drawing & ink, and it has a nice feel to it). Besides, I've tried some ingres from Canson IIRC, on various earth tones. They were alright, but I'm not a big fan of the ingres marks, especially for fine drawings.What I'd recommend is to tone it yourself: buy some good 100% cotton paper if you can, and use some watercolor earth tone like burnt umber. I've experimented with a relatively large sheet of first quality cellulose drawing paper and brown shellac ink while stretching it with kraft paper on some plywood. It was decent for a first try, especially considering the paper. I expect 100% cotton watercolor paper+watercolor to behave better (e.g. the ink lift a bit from the paper upon erasing).Toning it yourself allow you to control paper quality (if you want to sell later, better use good paper), value, hue.
>>5859806Thanks!>>5859903Yeah, I just wanted to keep a single sketchbook because it would help me draw more, but I want to start using gouache seriousy
>>5859811Printer paper is too thin and erases poorly. I am ok using 50# paper for sketching. Spiral on the side is the most convenient for not getting bent up.
what has being on /ic/ taught you?
I learned to be a crab
>>5855014or what you see firsthand if you've been here since before January, new year tourist
>>5858681I've been lurking here for years. I'm the one who suggested the Robin name actually.
>>5854768Artists are invariably prone to fatuous "Oh I love yr work" when not anon, it's so puerile. I hate nearly all other artists & their shit 'work' so thank god for here.
That you don't fuck with /dad/ under any circumstances... nuff said yall
Women refs are dime a dozen i would like to draw some cute/hot guys
>>5835941look in a mirror :)
Wtf! Why didn't know one told me this, there are thousands of vids on yt on how to draw but only few mentions to use perspective> just copy paste reference Perspective is so important and should be learned first
>>5856648Framed perspective is better.
>>5856725>Begs get scared off because it looks kind of like mathIt is math, you fucknugget. It's ridiculously difficult and a complete slap in the face for people who thought that drawing would involve drawing and not setting up a ridiculously complex 5D grid for an hour to place a sphere in. It's outrageously retarded.
>>5859618but, math is easy.
>>5859630sure dunning krueger
>>5859618glad I'm not the only person that feels this wayby this point i'm too embarassed to stop but i wish someone had told me that 90% of my drawings would require drawing the set of Tron: Legacy before even making a fucking Loomis head
>Loomis>Drawing on the right side of the brain>Keys to drawing>Drawabox>form>construction>perspective>fundamentals>practice
>>5860165Quality over quantitySure you don't get a wall of responses and 300 post threads like when someone makes an epik /r/4chan screencappable moment on /v/ or /pol/, but driving the handful of super serious /ic/ regulars out of their fucking tiny minds is better than a hundred (You)s from disinterested phone browsers.t. tonyochad
>>5859704pyw
>>5860187you first
>>5860186>super serious /ic/ regularsthis is not the old /ic/ anymore, anyone serious about drawing would leave this place once they've pirated enough. we only have fulltime shitposters with a drawing hobby now.
>>5859704>talent>asian jeans
How the fuck do I make beautiful stylized eyes like you /ic/?>Inb4 real life studies niggerShit doesn't work, already tried that.>hurrr durrr burrr Face is wrong, perspective is shitI know, I WANT TO TAKE ONE LITTLE STEP AT A TIME, I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL STYLIZED EYES>hurr duuur look for artists you loveEhhh, good one, I don't have any artist or art style I like.
>>5858567Tracing is a great way to learn inking motor skills and a retarded way to learn anything else
this is my best, it's so far the most complicated thing I have attempted to draw.I am also retarded and didn't use my refrences enough
>>5858567Tracing is shit.
>>5857945>I don't have any artist or art style I like.please fuck off and stop cluttering this board with shit
>>5859755you first
im tired of dealing with "this anatomy needs fix" and end dumping art because i cant pass this fixing anatomy phase.i found that a lot of artists are now using 3d to draw their shit faster and i want to do that, but i cant find these "good models" like pic related. i dont care if i have to buy them, i even will upload to mediafire or mega for yall if you help me to find them
>>5858265Kys schizo>>5858308Pyw>>5858431>perspective is not hard science or anything, you should be able to just see itLet's see your perspective gigatard.
>>5859563
>>5858342Kek stupid asperger that isn't scat, you don't even know the definition of scat.It's a just a girl in the toilet.Haven' you seen one?
>>5856554You can make it in literally 5 minutes in the software.
>>5858342>The scat fetish refAnon that isn't even scat...And if it was scat, even your beloved Kim Jun Gi does that so there is no shame on that, retard.
Post your boredom sketches at dayjob, college, or relative visit.
Does anyone know if the background is photobashed, painted from scratch or 3d? It looks really impressive
>>5860216nice, I was searching for this picthe artist said he used 3D and photobashing for other pieces, so chances are high he used both
coomart has been part of the male psyche since times immemorial and helped us to become who we arepuritan fags btfo
>>5860158Neither boards were good prior to 2016 or Gamergate, and they're both very male dominated (no, wearing a skirt doesn't make you a woman). The fuck are you talking about? Even in 2006 or some shit it was common sense that video game communities are a cesspool of angry emotional nerds who can't get laid, and rarely has any women.
>>5860158Remember when Jaffa Calling was the peak of /pol/'s real world relevance? Just a few years later a candidate for the Presidency (and eventual President) would be tweeting frogposts. Unbelievable
>>5860194Good? NoBetter? AbsolutelyI never argued that men can't make bad communities, just that women make them worse
>>5860231I doubt there are many women on /pol/ it's probably just trannies making things worse, as they do with everything they touch
>>5860231Really doubt it's the women that spam /ic/ with wojacks, low quality coomer posts, and calls somebody a nigger when confronted with an opposing or different opinion.
>artwork/critique>permabegs everywhere
>>5857654N
>>5859308Uhh damn I need coffee. I mean only /a/, /vg/, and some of the video game boards actually do what the board is intended for.
>>5859290>(You)>no talents whatsoever
>>5857654does anyone else see this pic and think it's moving?
>>5857654Is that pic real? Poor woman
What defines something as cheesy?
>>5860168Based
theres gotta be a better way than eyeballing it, which is what i did here. anyone know of some good videos showing how the pros do it?
>>5860092ok, good luck making my mistake
>>5860098i dont make mistakes a 3d render does all my work for me, stay beg faggot lmfao
>>5856437Monochrome -> overlay color -> paintover.When adding color, instead of trying to pick a color with the correct value and saturation, I simply use the purest, most saturated color, then lower the opacity of the layer until it looks right. This would be the equivalent of adding thinner without any black/white paint in traditional media.
>>5860101your loss
