personally it took me 3 months with 2-3 hours of drawing sessions per day before I finally understood what Glenn was talking about when he said "feel the form"

so I think there's merit to >>8002799

if you convert 125 weeks to 125 hours, his progression (or lack thereof) makes sense.
>>
>>8003294
I wonder if he genuinely misunderstands what people mean when they say to use a reference or to hide a reference.

He must think it means to trace the construction and then to draw it from memory except he doesn't know that you're supposed to make several copies of said reference, some of which will be from memory while others are made by looking at the reference as you draw.
>>
>>8003283
Understanding form is easy. You spend time just drawing a wide variety of simple 2D shapes, then you move on to drawing complex 3D forms from various angles.

Then you move on to perspective which you can develop by constantly drawing your immediate surroundings from various angles. After you've gotten into the habit, THEN you move on to drawabox to make it stick.

no, you need to study perspective and how to use it. There are small amount of people who have actual talent for this but most study this.

So this might be a dumb place to ask, but what's the difference between these two perspectives exactly assuming the dick is 45 degrees to the true vertical? I tried mocking it up in blender but the focal length options confused me.

Have you noticed of nearly all late starting mangakas have /beg/ level core art skills? Koji Mori, Lynn Okamoto, the Ranking of King author, etc.

The truth is, if you started drawing seriously only 25+ onward you'll never reach the organically good skill level all the good mangakas or online illustrators who have drawn since they were little possess.

Unironically yes if the story is entertaining enough. It's always weird when reliably /ic/ harps on some anon making a comic saying that the artstyle isn't /pro/ or /adv/ looking enough and it's like ???? that has no relationship at all to anything. It doesn't NEED to have nicer art. It's nice and doesn't hurt but it's not a hardline requirement. All you need is an entertaining story.

Good info.
How do I organise my files? I have a folder for finished work scans per year, then a folder within it for sketches, but my digital is way more different in style even thoigh there's way less of it, so it ends up being a mess no matter what.
Are any of these back up programs worth it or do I just get multiple hdds and copy my files onto them?
Is veracrypt really that necessary? I never heard of this "filling up hdd to max to check validity" thing. How often should I switch hdds?
I love local storage, fuck niggers who think this is unimportant they don't have 10+ gigs of scans and more of photos

So why is it the best? because this converter has OkLab - a modern scientifically based color space that is better than rpb, meaning your photos are better converted to Pixel Art for better colors(for example all converters for dim green between green and gray will choose gray, but mine will choose green).

It also has the best type of dithering in the world - Dizzy Dithering, the thing is that you're all using a 50-year-old algorithm created for computers with a few megabytes of RAM, and the thing that i use is revolutionary. it only came out this year specifically for video games.


Try it yourself - it's completely free and hosted on github blackwolf365.github.io/wplace_best_converter

PS: don't forget to choose a palette for your favorite site. currently supported are Wplace and Bplace. Later will be added minecraft (for art maps) and others according to your wishes.

PPS: why am I promoting this so aggressively even though it won't bring me any benefit? Because I'm tired of seeing disgusting "art"

Wick is sadly borderline unusable at present for anything remotely serious-but as the only native open source vector animation software I'm aware of that seems to have gotten anywhere at all it really has huge potential. When I stumbled on it 3 months ago I reached out to some friends and we have been working on fixing it ever since.

Wick's single biggest issue is that drawing just a handful of frames will cause the RAM usage to spiral out of control. The second biggest issue is the clumsy UI and manner in which you can and cannot easily alter frames in the timeline once set-then there are a lot of other smaller issues like the pressure sensitivity never having been implemented, the proximity-limited onion skin, lack of gradient control and so on. With my direction and experience with a variety of software I'm hoping me and my team can make a fork of this program that compares favorably to early iterations of Flash with respect to the original Wick's intent but that also adds a few tricks I'd thought up myself along with those that are present in certain commercial software.

In the meantime I can vouch for Krita as having the most user friendly animation timeline out of any software I'd used. It being limited to bitmap doesn't really prevent one from practicing fundamentals with it.

Macromedia Flash 8 is also easily accessible. It holds up fairly well in my opinion! https://archive.org/details/macromedia-flash-professional-8

Anyway, fatally flawed-Wick is still a ground floor for something truly great and we're going to do what we can to bring the best out of it. I'm glad you brought it up as the prospect excites me a lot.

If you have any ideas or questions feel free to message me on Discord at @vraimentmoi
>>
>>8002622
I sent you a friend request, I used wick for a few years as a beginner so I practically have hundreds of files in the program and wouldn't mind sharing them
>>
>>8002633
Excellent. Maybe I should have stressed that I was referring to hand drawn animation specifically when I used the "unusable" epithet. It seems to have been made with tweening in mind and my goal is to make it so it can handle a ton of unique, sketchy drawings as well. I'm very much appreciative of any input you have to share given your experience with it.
