Thoughts on my diet space marine?
>>8035858We also have a designated thread for people who don't want to draw and just whine about their life sucks, please go to one of those instead of making spam generals
>>8036001What? I draw daily, you really want every thread to just be "here is my work talk to me" instead of generals? We have them for a reason
>>8035907i dont know if trench crusade also has things called trench knights or whatevet but I made this for my own gay setting where Nikola tesla invents power armor
>>8036057pretty cool
i wanna learn art but I am going to have a roommate soon, how can i improve quickly so they wont laugh at my skills?
>>8034065colleges used to be a place for people to gain an education. they call it "tertiary education" because it used to not be necessary for employment. now, colleges don't teach anything that isn't either propaganda or useful in a career setting. that's why art is not taught much anymore.bitch and moan however you like, but art has always been an unstable career choice because it relies on a portion of the population having extra cash laying around for luxuries, and we're in a continuous decline of the middle class. now with AI, a lot of people can get something they will appreciate on a surface level instantly without spending hardly any money, if at all...i'd love to learn about the middle ages, if only to make high fantasy more engaging. in my high school, US history was 50% of the material and the rest of the world was covered in individual blocks. when i went to junior college, US history was the only course required for gen ed. i think it's a state requirement for california. to someone looking to enter the work force as soon as possible, most people are going to skip that unless interested.
>>8030412i found it just for you....
just be yourself faggot
>>8034227impossible task for non-autists. please understand and do the needful, anon
Lift weights so you can rape them when they laugh at you
Post a drawing (that you made) you're really proud of
i've been in and out of art and burn out over the years but i made this warm up yesterday. trying to surround myself in artsy places and remembered 4chan
>>8033608I remember you posting it in the trad thread, have you done something to it since, i remember it being a little bit different, not sure though.
>>8033682I think I posted it before finishing. Probably posted this one which was a little before I was done with the color and trying to get gaouche to act right.
>>8004102I'm still proud of this one even if the paper wasn't too collaborative.
It's a little thing, but finally finishing this panel made me really happy
Why isn't there a stand with enough room to let you slide a keyboard beneath it for convenience?Most artists have gut-wrenching desk setups where their keyboards are awkwardly to the side or like 2-3 feet above the desk on top of their stand or something
>>8034727>I'm not autistic nor smart enough to engineer my own diy chimerical contraption of a tool for artistic purposesI mean i basically just attacked it with a circular saw and wood glue.>joyconthe controllers for the nintendo switch. bootleg ones. Pretty good for the price.
>>8034693Stop being a pleb and get a split ergo keyboard
>>8034693I bought that Wacom keyboard extension to put on top of the Cintiq Pro but the protrusion at the bottom that's supposed to support the keyboard is too tiny and my keyboards just slide right off (and risk scratching the screen)
>>8034693because it's fucking stupid and you'd be crossing your arms to use half the keyboardkeyboards belong on the left
>>8034835Just put the tablet on a monitor arm. Keyboard can stay in the same spot on the desk with zero issues. My 16" tablet can sit under my dual 27" monitors and I swing it out when I want to draw.
What makes this not look anime despite the artists being a japanese dude drawing for a japanese online audience in the early 2000s?
>>8034483every furry drew like this in the 90s and 20s. the internet was small and furry artists were few. everyone was referencing each other and whatever anthro movie was popular at the time.
>>8034483>Comet is japaneseexplains all of the censorcucking on his krystal art, i guess. this dude died recently, by the way. i wish i could find PNG versions of his art.i don't really like the way japs draw furries. kemono looks too cute and soft, i want my furry girls to have at least a passing accuracy to a real animal.
>>8035711>this dude died recently, by the way.Wait really?
>>8034483Because it takes inspiration from Western Furry Art, making it look Western.
>>8035711>died recentlyI thought he died 10 years ago

>>8038646here you go. a better artist can do great things with this
>>8038649this ref sucks
>>8038652even my refs suck? im sorry
>>8038649why are you ref'ing a doll? ngmi
>>8038657i thought the pose was cute, and it seemed simple enough to not fail the proportions or placing the hip
How do i make this not suck?
>>8024268OP is so ungrateful. This is why you don't help people that start their own threads.
>>8024019More contrast between values, there's a lot of dark, but not much bright, values need to make the objects clear even from the thumbnail. Same with color, too much warm without any cool at all, consider moonlight or starlight reflections.
>>8024019you're on the right track, perspective is amazing, the depth is really visible, the length oof the room, focal point is great, i'd say work on your lineart, interiors and buildings don't have perfect straight lines, i don't mean to make tehm curved, just to add some slight bumps and imperfections, but keep using your measures as you are doing here, great stuff op
>>8024019bro, you dont even have main characters feet in the frame. practice composition.
>>8024268K.O.
Why does Miura draw female abdominal muscles like that
>>8034761>projectionher pussy is literally right there
>>8033195There's something about women that makes me want to have sex with them
>>8035269Fascinating...
>>8034761Obsessed
>>8034891Even if she has a huge pussy, if you make the character look extremely masculine, she’ll end up looking like a tranny who’s had surgery; the asians aren't idiots—they know how to draw the lines without screwing it up, unlike the Western "woke" crowd, who ruin the entire design from head to toe.
I have zero energy to draw. I tried but just couldn't draw for more than 5 minutes, if I continued i'd just create work I'd regret later. I wish I could keep the same focus and energy level to produce good work
>>8036009>waaa I have a full time job in a stable society waaaa
>>8036037it's not 90's anymore
>>8036009It reflects how imagination tends to fade with the passage of time and the weight of responsibilities; however, the premise feels somewhat forced, as there are people who continue to use their imaginations even while employed. The only real issue is time, which is why many leave their jobs to pursue their passions once they have the financial means to do so.
>>8036037>I live a 90s boomer bubble.
its best days are definitely behind it, but it's easy to get engagement there soon (the bad kind, of course)
>>8031792cinema
I go there every once in a while to get some Photoshop brushes. I stopped posting there after it became an Ai website.
I'm just using it as an archive so people can download images in a better quality than on Twitter. And in case I get banned from Twitter because of all the racism and stuff.
>>8032207i really think that the whole "mspaint autist" thing is sort of endemic to the 2000s decade when the internet was first becoming accessible to a wider audience but hadn't become a mainstream, corporate hellhole.autists still exist, but the low-functioning ones with absolute freak fetishes and no social filter are usually closely monitored by their parents or neurotypical siblings who try to contain them to facebook. there's just too much awareness now of digital footprints and the potential to become lolcows like justinRPG or ChrisChan.high functioning spergs still exist in online spaces, but their fetishes are usually milder (ie, they might be furfags but they're sane enough and their fetishes are mainstream enough that the wider furry community can accept them readily without issue)
>>8031792>he doesn't know
There was a failed thread recently asking about new developments in learning how to draw. But learning to draw doesn't change - you look, you draw, and if it isn't working you study or you ask for advice. Then you try again.How about motivation & discipline? Any bright ideas? How do (you) make sure you're sitting down and actually drawing every day, or even more than once a day? Yeah yeah I know, JUST DRAW, but sometimes your brain gets in your way. What do you do to make sure your brain stays outta the way? How do you make sure it reaches for the pencil not the phone?Some things I tried that worked:> Keep small sketchbook in my bag for shitty doodles and drawing from life. Small break, small doodle.> Keep the small sketchbook on my nightstand so first thing I do when I wake up is a shitty drawing instead of doomscrolling> Draw late at night when my brain is too exhausted for questions and self-doubt> When picking up my phone, open a tutorial video or my gallery of saved images instead of a social media feedI've also thought about setting up a chatbot just to remind me of my goals and to tell me to sit down and draw, and to remind me how much I enjoyed drawing in the past. I don't use AI for anything, but having one say "come on Anon, you can do it, you always feel better after 15 minutes of line of action" might be a rare good use. Haven't tried it tho.What smart (or dumb) solutions do you use? There was an anon here a few years ago who set up a 'motivation shop' with his favorite Waifu in Zenkit kanban (I think his was staffed by Shoko Komi). It was real neat, with pics of the waifu offering encouragement and admonishment. It was basically a wall of cute GIFs with lists of drawing project interspersed with cheerleading. I tried one with my fav waifu and it kinda worked - opening it put me in a good headspace to want to draw. But Zenkit nuked their free tier and no other kanban supports GIFs.Motivation & Discipline thread.
>>8034848In 2020 I would spend like 10 hours a day drawing. I have no clue how I did it sorry.
>>8034828your aversion to coding was too powerful for the dopamine from snacks/music to overcome, might be different for art>>8034747>>8034716The trick is to pair the dopamine with a goal. 5 minutes drawing = bite of snack, working up to 10, 15, etc. Or a bite of snack for every time you figure something out in your studies.
should i copy :p
>>8035620This.
>>8034226>Does anyone ITT have ADHD med experience? How did it effect your art?Pretty sure this was spammed ad nauseam in the Adderall thread some guy was running but I find that meds are best for sitting down and doing studies, not idle drawing. I don't find that it helps me to finish pictures because I just keep polishing the same turd.It doesn't and cannot replace discipline. Draw on your off time for fun and don't become dependent on whichever medication you're taking or planning to take because it pretty much trains your brain to never want to draw without it

>>7976299does anyone have this book?
>>8038045ngl, the samples look kinda badespecially compared to yoh yoshinary sketches collection or other rakugaki books by other artists
>>8038222look the same to stuff in imaishi's artbook (the non-anime stuff)
>>8038222To each his ownI think he's amazing personally, very expressive sketches, maybe not as polished as Yoshinari but comparing high level artists is like comparing apples and oranges
