>>7954266ZZZ is a more current trend. You can still fish Blue Archive, Azur Lane, Genshin Impact, and so on as well.
Also, VTubers. Bigger ones you throw a tag and see what happens, but you can also find indie/small ones to farm.
i love your art so much anon. i recognize you. it makes me very happy every time you post your work, i’m sorry i only ever told you once. i think the same thing every single time.
all you social media trannies do is whine about likes
What's the worst art program and why is it Adobe illustrator?
>>7945332To be fair, the program's name is a bit of a misnomer. It can be used for illustration, and often is by many, but it really isn't the program most would pick to do their illustration work (unless it was something they're known for).
>>7945401Fair enough, "Adobe Vector" would be more accurate
>>7945334It's easy if you actually know how to draw.
>>7945324Use Photoshop retard and buy one of those drawing tablets.
>>7945333What's up, it's me, that guy.I got rejected harshly, position hasn't even closed, I just got rejected. Didn't even get to practice before they slapped me with it. That's fair I guess ten seconds into my resume should tell you I wasn't fit for it.I don't hate Illustrator any more than I hate Photoshop or any other software.
Why do modern western artists all fall into the>le wacky>wholesome chungus>le heckin' minority >mental health guru that can't draw for shitWhat happened to professional looking people? That not only know their shit but won't act like manchildren for a hot second?
>>7953198Art is made by outcasts. Lunatics, manchildren and sex perverts. You don't go into art as a normie unless you're one of those corporate graphic designers that put out the same soulless algeria art
>>7953912Bending your back like that? probably not
>>7953198Maybe you should stop looking at tweets of pointless drama all day and follow people that draw?
>>7953198>most gorgeous 2d and 3d game art are made by Japanese men in suits and a tie
It'll seem that way if all you see are retards fighting on twitter. Even on a site as infamous as Tumblr I don't see retarded Internet drama with the western artists I like. Just don't look at retards fighting. It's that simple.
Sorry for making a thread I put some layers to plan the highlights and shadows but I am struggling to plan them, I want to have the source of light being one from the above like the moon and one behind her
>>7953506lol yeah I have been doing a bit of studying of color schemes and rendering tangential to their stuff, I'm surprised it came through on this though considering I didn't really use any of their techniques. It's just soft brush and lasso tool, a mix of hard and soft edges with a pretty monochromatic color scheme (although containing the base colors for pearlescence/iridescence and this where many chinese artists pull out subtle hue variations to make their rendering have an ethereal energy) due to a multiply layer and then adding a bit of bloom to the highlight of the hair. The secret sauce to a lot of chinese rendering is the use of soft/hard/lost edges + specularity + bloom + subsurface scattering within the bloom to create that ethereal quality and a sort of silky/milky texture for the more reflective materials. When light hits these materials, it scatters a milky, cool hue into the soft turning edges before absorbing into the shadow. I didn't really do it well on this one but if you have something else you want me to render out I can do like a walkthrough. It'd also give me a reason to stop procrastinating studying today zzz
>>7953690>>7953713
>>7951706idk i tried but it doesn't look ok...
>>7953727Don't ever ask /ic/ about lighting. chances are they don't know what they're doing either and don't want to say anything
>>7953713>I'm surprised it came throughThe value/color contrast on the hair is what made it immediately recognizable.
An art contest from IndonesiaAlready has a few AI slop entries from people pretending they drew the artwork themselves
>>7954245>where the phrase "starving artists" came fromA book about Bobemian poets bumming and blasting absinthe where it doesn't actually refer to visual artists, later associated with painters through Van Gogh, whose lack of commercial success is mistaken for lack of money by retards despite him having been relatively wealthy all his life, why?
>>7954265Thanks JeetPT. I'm sure all the millions of comic/maga/animators are rolling in cash.
>>7954268If there are millions of maga animators, why does Trump keep posting slop?
>>7954270Because he's orange and retarded, like the rest of the sloppers.
>>7954270>>7954271He's also old. The biggest fans of slop seem to be the elderly. He probably sees the video of himself flying a jet and dropping a deuce on protestors' heads, gets confused, and thinks he actually did that.
Who is in the right here, the commissioner or the artist?
guys what if this is all an elaborately orchestrated marketing ploy? Outrage and sympathy are what sells on the modern internet desu
>>7953184If a sinlge 3 star review on a small commision potenitally ruins her life then she has bigger issues
kek this is why you grind until you're worth at least 100usd per piece
>>7953184omg i already hate watermark fags but this is even worse. take that ugly shit off if someones paying you. fucking hell
>>7953447I have heard a few times to beware of cheap clients, looks it checks out once again.
How would you fix this?
>>7954174You are not the machiavellian sigma male you think you are
>>7954157Learning anatomy?
>>7954157I wouldn't. I'd finish it and then draw more, while learning in the proccess, you have to finish your pieces early on even if they're lacking, if you aim for perfetion from the get go you'll get stuck.
>>7954174man, you even suck at your own gimmick
>>7954181obviously not, I'm just some obese balding faggot with mental issues and I get zero bitches, but that's still how I play it.
why do drawing instructors keep talking about planes?they keep saying that they constantly think about planes when they're drawingis it really that good?
Yes and once you get good enough you can feel the forms
>>7953994Planes are the best structure in drawing. They have curves and straight lines, many interesting shapes, and challenge all the fundamentals of perspective and construction. The propeller alone will boost your drawing skills to another level.Though it might be overwhelming to start with planes, you might want to start with something more basic, such as cars.I also heard trains are very based as well. Master will often talk about train planes, which is a fusion of both concepts.
I prefer naval and submarine kino.
CRAB inches ever closer to it's May 17th starting date! New entries still are being accepted!>What is this?CRAB is an OCT where artists submit their OCs and participate in a three-round tournament where they are pit against an opponent to fulfill a prompt's task over the other. There are three rounds and thus three prompts that an artist must fulfill featuring their OC facing off against another OC using the theme and prompt as their guideline for content.>How many people will be participating?There is a maximum threshold of 50 participants.>How long will this take?From May 17th to Aug 25th. There's breaks to stop people from burning out between rounds but generally worktime for each main round is 2 weeks. >Random art battles?CRAB has had animations, VNs, DOOM.WADs, and more submitted as entries in the past, that's where the 'random art' comes from.>How does this work?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>7956297Hahahaha based anonAlso, you don't need to worry about being late, since crab 4 we can join late and still be able to participate thanks to the bench/replacement system. If someone drops you get their place, pretty useful right?Looking forward to see your character in action, laughed a lot with the description you gave
>>7956297Dude you can still join on the Bench, man, Dropouts occassionally happen, so you have a good chance to enter the tournament proper, so finish your pit entry and then you can join. The benchies also get challenges, so you got stuff to do while being part of the event.
>>7956314>>7956315No worries! Since I found out yesterday that I need to punch the green dude in the ass, I've been grinding out a roughly 20-page comic for the contest.I only started yesterday, though. Should be done in about three days, assuming work doesn't screw me over with overtime.
>>7956297You can join us in the benches

I told my illustration profesor that I liked picrel and he said it's kitsch garbage for retards and to just look at Franklin Booth insteaddo you agree?
>>7951763>An easy test is remove the scribbles and change them for dots instead of lines, Booths pic is unaffected and could work just the same, but it completely changes the OPthat's retarded, lines are a compositional tool, if you removed the flowing lines from op's drawing the entire point is lost, the figure is emerging from the fog, seemingly made out of it, it needs to look like its constantly in flux and wading thru the wind, which is achieved by the lines, which are clearly representing movement, have you never heard of speedlines, smear frames or any other "trick" to depict movement in illustrations?

Look -- if you don't have talent, give up on art. You're wasting your time.You're going to grind for the year, for what? To be able to draw 1% better than you did before you started grinding. Meanwhile someone with talent? 50% in a month. And how many years have you been at it even? You're nowhere where you want to be. You probably won't make it. This isn't a hobby for (You). Go find something else to do.
People like Chris Chan and all the other deviantart retards that draw in a similar skill level make me believe that art talent is closely tied to IQ.
>>7953688I work with autistic children and you're sorta correct about the IQ connection, although I wouldn't say "talent". "Talented" or "gifted" only applies to people who have a natural knack for art due to being born with high 3D visualization. And even then, you have to actually do the hard work, problem-solve, and be consistent to make gains otherwise you're just sitting on your laurels.I've seen a lot of art made by autistic kids from all three levels of support, and I've also seen art from non-autistic kids with varying levels of IQ. From my observations, Level 1 autistic kids and Level 3 autistic kids both struggle with art, but the Level 2 ones tend to figure it out sooner and show gains rather quickly. The Level 3 kids almost NEVER figure it out while the Level 1 kids eventually get over the hurdle and blossom should they persist.What the Level 3 autistic kids and low IQ kids have in common is a lack of consistency, a criminal lack of support from someone who can teach them art, and taking way too long to get their work. On top of that, they're exposed to too many screens from a young age which has been proven to affect hand-eye coordination, 3D visualization, and IQ.Chris Chan has average IQ (you'd be surprised just how dumb the average IQ person really is, even when they're not autistic), deficiencies in EQ, and is clearly Level 2. He's also not very consistent with drawing, hence his art stagnation/regression. Similarly, a lot of Deviantart retards just don't draw on a daily basis and never figure out that you need to think in 3D and copy from other people's art. All they do is look at screens!
>>7953336>start enjoying the process.the problem isn't 'learning' how to enjoy, the problem is getting that feeling back at all. Not to start a pity party but when you're depressed joy turns into an accidental, pleasant surprise that slips further away the more you manically chase it. It's like being hungry in the grocery store when nothing looks or sounds appetizing. Even if you like Doritos and can intellectualize being hungry, the decision to pick them up doesn't come. idk. it's hard to describe to people who haven't been through it. i feel like a lot of people (me) who constantly hobby hop to and from art have other issues to fix before "enjoy the process" isn't just copium to huff before burning out. I'm pretty secure in my genuine, non-manic enjoyment of drawing when I'm not a rotting mess, unlike other hobby attempts like fucking golf. Just have to find whatever combination of brute force and smart-planning will get me stable enough to enjoy hobbies again. >>7953444>pic relatedironically i've been to that exit many times and ate at that pizza hut. it's a small, necessary pimple on an otherwise beautiful area. its funny how easy it is to laser focus on negativity but i agree with all the sentiments, anon. For me I always think back to the Maslow hierarchy. i'm getting BTFO by tier 3 (love and belonging) so it's no surprise I fumble on esteem and self-actualization steps (where Drawing lives).Spirituality is something i need to chew on for a while. I know it needs to be a big part of my life and will certainly help with maslow progression, but the last thing I want is to treat it as the new-and-shiny for 4 months then drop it to get into pickle ball or something. >>7953688if you never learn how to learn you never get better at anything. most Deviantart MSpainters are too busy gooning and/or are too autistic to reflect on what OTHERS might see when looking at the piece.
>>7953742>most Deviantart MSpainters are too busy gooning and/or are too autistic to reflect on what OTHERS might see when looking at the pieceAnon, that's precisely why they can never get good. They are quite literally brain damaged.
>>7953688Yes. But it's actually narcissism and non-openness to critique that handicaps people the most.

I hate how I have to be suspicious of every single picture and drawing I see now and wonder if it was made by AI. There mere act of looking at art itself has been soiled. Even if I never use AI myself and avoid it as much as possible, it’s still done irrevocable damage and made my life worse.>lol u mad broYes. I am mad. You have succeeded in making me mad. I am confirming that I am mad.
>>7953664I mean you can just go into any AI thread on any board like /a/ or /h/ or whatever and see what people are posting there. It looks legitimately good. If it didn't look good then artists wouldn't be freaking out like they are. Granted it's still mostly restricted to pinup-style images or familiar kinds of stock poses, nothing super original or complex. But... most artists made the majority of their money from pinups anyway.>>7953597Find people who like what you do and appreciate it. Make connections with them. That's what it's really all about in the end.
>>7953217AI is just another tool. You also could be scepticle about photo references (many ppl still think it's cheating), or scepticle of 3d models, or tracing.AI can just produce pretty pictures but ppl also still like real artists if they are good. Not to mention how bad AI is at making comics.
>>7953664Search engine manipulation. Wouldn't it be epic if the art board won't shut up about Ai?You reply. You lose.
>>7953708You absolute nigger pick one (1) image you like and post it. Don’t give me the run around. I went and checked and it all looks the same, I never wanted to do anime girl pinups and never will, as far as I’m concerned I’m fine. Kill yourself.
