Both made in MSpaint in roughly the same timeThey are our past dnd characters
>>8046083>>8050159I still prefer Irtos - even if you get to draw cute rats if you choose Ratmage
>>8050496Team ratmage offers their respect
>>8046083Irtos is cute but the ratmage lowkey looks like he'd lay some thick pipe
Everybody saying irtos has abominably shit taste and should absolutely apologize for their opinions
>>8050496Oldeus in another timeline but he hates Roxie and team up with rat to get her.
This person went from this...
>>8049892they have no job and live with their parents.
>>8050965This is basically the same post anon made three months ago he just added some nodrawcope
>>8049898>>8049892That is pretty neat and even uplifting. I really am too chained down by the "but what if I'm learning wrong?" thought and that tends to hold me back.
>>8049898First one is artistically prettier to look at while second is more technically advanced... if you draw second in style of first it's gonna be perfect.
>>8051261I feel that. "I just need to start over with some new beginner/intro book/course and I'll learn right this time!" I've mad more progress just fucking drawing and ignoring that imp.
Any more pictures like this? Where it shows both the mannequin and the actual drawing?
>>8046154it's like contour lines, they are something you do to learn how forms work and fit together in 3d space.
>>8046154What difference does it make ? lol. The point is that you can use it to draw.
>>8046176>schrodinger's construction
>>8046156Why did they genderbend Illumi
The begs yearn for construction
Faces in the Fire. Frank Holl. 1863. Oil on canvas. old >>8024789
>>8050763crown prince more like the down prince amirite
>>8050763Better than 99% of /trad/'s work.
>>8050953low bar though innit.not even sure I agree. There is better stuff in this thread alone
>>8035977Tell that to OP who is posting art by somebody that is clearly a pedophile foot fetishist.
I just woke up and did this. Maybe a layer of deep blue next?
>>8046724its weak. its a literal wet noodle.no strengthno powergo study.
>>8046674as in that came out of you mouth? you have to see a doctor OP
>>8046682>>8046708me three hehe
>>8046682so do I
>>8046674i see a person
can I ever be taken seriously as an artist if I draw kinky stuff like picrel for example?I wanna make serious comics and try and get published, but I also wanna start a twitter account and draw some borderline nsfw comic strips with anthro girls, orc girls, amazons, etc.If I wanna break into comics and make serious art, should I stay away from doing stuff like that? Not ever gonna draw nsfw, but I'll probably skirt the line if I make the account
>>8041733who is that btw, curious if I knew him
>>8036764>DC recently hired a guy for a Supergirl anthology that draws shota so I think you're finewho?
>>8046283we had a thread on it a while agohttps://warosu.org/ic/thread/7960633#p7964439
>>8041597jjfrenchie
>>8034121I like your art. This is a really stupid question though. Just don't show the porn parts of your portfolio? What's the question here? >Never drawing true nsfw/skirting the lineThen why bother? Just draw your wholesome chungus comic then. The only person making it one choice or the other is you. Nagatoro was an incredibly popular piece of animeslop and the maker spent years drawing women fucking monkeys before that. That's not a racist comment. Lolis with actual chimps and baboons. And he made it. So??
facts
>>8050857Drawing can be fun if you have motivation... without it ill agree.
>>8050877Most people doom scroll because it's addicting. It exploits your instincts to search for information that could be dangerous or lead to rewards. They don't actually enjoy it.
>>8050859idk how a space heater is fun during the summer but ig winter is approaching
*fixes all your problems*
that’s a good proposition, op. too bad the only things i do daily that are as overall net entertaining as drawing are online activities.if i turned off my internet though, i’d really wonder if i’d be ok, because the only people i heavily interact with irl have very unhealthy disorders to be around. y’know…now that i’m typing this out, i’m not sure why exactly i thought this differentiated it from my online social dynamics. lol, oh well. at least we’ve got a mixed culture here in our petri dish. i really came to post>i really am undisciplined. i should draw more. i should always be drawing more.

>>8053322I dont cut anything when I do my shit, I just do a graphite transfer(granted I use col-erase pencils but same method) so I dont gotta make a mess cutting anything
>>8048422Instead of making your manga you are posting shitpost copypastas
>>8053354I mean cutting it digitally together. I just know how annoying it can get when do such a mix of trad and digital. You draw something trad then have to scan it in, then you edit it digitally, then you still want to add somethign in trad and have to redo the process and cut everything together, etc.I would have to print it out again and then do the final inking. Otherwise finishing it digitally would be too annoying.
>>8053041>how to make art because there are rules to art.Such as?
>>8052274>i read about the difference between dark shonen and dark seinen, so the latter is what would be considered safe edgy.actual fucking babble holy shit, neither of those terms are a real thing, "safe edgy" is just a term made by people mad that popular shit is popular and what does "dark seinen" even have to do with it when the only seinens normies know about are vagabond and berserk
Personally, I think it looks best when graffiti artists use their skill to drawing interesting looking characters like these, I hate stuff like kitschy murals and names being tagged in uninteresting ways which seems to be a majority of graffiti these days.
>>8045745I'd argue even on your own wall it is an attack on your senses. After all city planning doesn't allow architects to go wild either: it has to fit the vibe of the street.
When it's soul it's SOVL
>>8046353thats a short ceiling
>>8045734Murals are the lamest kind of graffiti, at least tags can be creative are made by thrillseekers. Meanwhile murals are pure kitsch that never get erased cause they’re seen as deep or some shit.
>>8048982Imagine being a building owner and finding out someone sprayed fentanyl floyd on it, if I was owning a building on the graffiti looked like >>8045734I wouldn’t mind but a mural would be the last kind of graffiti I’d fucking want on it. Even worse is that you can’t erase it or else you’re 'racist'.
Anyone else just grateful to be able to draw?I've been very frustrated and sad because I can't draw like I want to, but at the same time I find drawing so much fun. Every aspect of creating art are basically endless possibilities to experiment with. I have so much fun trying to think of my own process, breaking down things I like in art, getting 'aha' moments, and see things slowly come together. Trying out new techniques, brushes, different color combinations, interesting perspectives and compositions. There's so much stuff to learn and master, and while the "return of investment" seems slow at times due to the nature of how much time it takes to create a piece and absorb everything you try to learn, the reward is still very satisfying and lasting.With that being said, I'm still a novice and struggle a lot with certain things like rendering, creating my own interesting compositions, and making a finished piece. And I easily get lost on the road. There have been many times where I've been so frustrated that I've dropped drawing for several months, only to return to it. It has a drag over me that never seems to fully let go, but perhaps it's just my ego that refuse to give up. Seeing artists on social media that are way better than me are both inspiring and depressing, creeping thoughts of self-doubt like 'I've been drawing for quite some time now, why can't I draw like that?' or similar. Yet I press on, and looking back at how I started and where I am now is a motivation in itself. Getting good at art is like solving an extremely complex puzzle, there are so many pieces you need to understand and have control of in order to unlock the bigger picture. Perhaps it's quite preposterous of me to ramble for some long, and share what little nuggets I have collected so far in my journey despite being a novice still, but I hope (You), the reader, find some semblance in what I've written.>TL;DR: keep drawing and discover the many rewards this craft can give you
>>8050809I’d be grateful if I could just draw at a decent level.8 years of failure and counting
>>8050852Oops deleted text by mistake I know how you feel. I know I should buckle down and put in the work to get to the next level, but I do enjoy spamming my silly little drawings. At the same time I feel like a dork drawing my 'toons for zoomers who just want to look at big fuggin' anime tiddies. I guess I've been coming here on and off for so long I don't know where else to go. I guess I've got to get it out of my system somewhere even if I never make anything more out of it and I still enjoy being a part of this weird place even with all the tourists and spammers
So true OP. It gives me joy to simply be able to wave my magic wand and conjure an image.
I hate drawing but it allows me to feed my family in a third world country
Are there any good sites for me to post my art as an amatuer artist so that more people will see my art? I had a deviantart but sadly it got hacked... I also have a personal site but not many see it...
>>8050839palantir can't cuck this fecal platform fast enough
>>8050840the get good and go use the sites that everybody uses
>>8050842discord is trash but op wants attention, where else are you going to get it other than a server surrounded by other begs
discord servers are all dead as well for the same reason every platform is deadpeople are deathly afraid to speak and everyone is just a shark waiting to smell cringe (even breathing is considered cringe now)
>>8050834See that question mark? That could have been your art.
this might be the worst fucking art take ever
>>8050175What is so insane about the applying the concept of "don't like, don't read" to fanart? Why raise your cortisol lingering on a piece of fanart that you do not like, instead of moving on?
>>8036126Why has this thread not been deleted? I've had much more innocent posts deleted for "not user's own artwork". Why are the jannies so inconsistent?
>>8050424alot of idiots and bots on this board wanna continue the idea that there is hostility in literally anything against them or that the internet should be an exclusive club when that died a decade and a half ago. It's just curmudgeonly old people bullshit but somehow only in a ten year age bracket difference.
>>8049741It is not just thin skin, having this reputation can be damaging to your account, these types can band together to mass report you and pick apart your online career from being possible if you accidentally piss them off to badI guess ngmis will never have to worry about this
>>8036144>"nor cast in stone"someone trying to seem intelligent.nothing they make will ever change it but they act as if their view has merit.all the faces are as bored and depressed as their profile picture.they should focus on making their own fantasy world that doesn't crib from popular series or myth and folklore from europe.

>>8053416woopslose motivation*
>>8053416You just have to work with things that you personally like and like to look at. You'll see that everyone here has that one main thing they draw. Mechs, cute girls, boys, and so on. For me it's monster girls and big tiddies.
>>8053403I lean authoritarian myself, but you don't need the police most of the time. You can always just hide and not engage. If women can do it, so can /beg. I just accept that it comes with the territory, the drawbacks and advantages of anonymity.

>made a Twitter account for my art in late August>tried posting one piece of art every day with one relevant tag >zero likes retweets comments or views after a week>read that new accounts are shadowbanned and to stop posting for a while to lift it>after three weeks finally get notified that my account is now visible to people>post new art with a tag and finally overjoyed to get 3 likes and to show up in searches>see some nice art later while scrolling my feed >open up the artist's profile and they have ~10 images with 1k+ likes each and a couple with 5-10x that>none of them are tagged and they're all OC>account created September 2026Genuinely how does this shit workHow do you get so many art posts to get that reach on OC art with no tags, in the first three weeks when you're supposed to be shadowbanned
>>8047144This pretty much started happening during the early 2010s and you wanna know what started this?Remember Candid? That app that literally tried to dox you and deemed you toxic? Turned out that was literally an app ai boy google was training to censor anything they don't like, and the skeptics were promoting that shithttps://youtu.be/fbSXyD4wMws?si=cvtgySJZDQdsEKqs
>>8047563NTA but what sites are we talking about? I could believe this in like 2016 but after most of the troons migrated to bluesky, twitter is like 70% based and redpilled accounts now
is not using your own art as your icon a bad idea for social media? >who the fuck caresme
>>8043785I once bought the stupid bluechekmark on one of my accounts and i got no real boost, and the boost was just bots anyways, you faggot.
>>8044042>should I build real world career skillsDo you think it's still 1990 grandpa? Making a living off art and getting a job that not only pays enough to live but also keep you hired until you retire AND provide enough for an actual retirement have the same odds of success.
Specifically about learning about the concept of drawing. It's currently work in progress. What do you guys think?
Another art master joins the ranks of the cade sok
>>8050121I understand and empathize with having difficulty evaluating the quality of your own work, but SURELY these people should have enough self-awareness to know that they aren't qualified to teach others, right?
>>8050136playing doubles advocate here, but maybe they areyou don't go to an f1 driver to learn to drive or a tour de france champ to learn to ride a bike or a celebrated writer to learn to read and writehow many permabegs are bashing their head against loomis, vilppu, schmidt or what have you and making zero progress?maybe there's something to starting with more experienced /beg/s like the how to draw anime guy, brent eviston or the DAB permabeg
