What are ways to digitally make a realism painting but not have it look so blatantly digital? As in, a very smooth liquid kind of texture. I don't expect the capabilities of any digital paint software to flawlessly emulate real oil paints and whatever. But what is done to get it close as possible?

Types of brushes I imagine are one thing, but I'm curious if that isn't enough. Like if there are any extra tricks typically used to make things even closer beyond that. Anything trad brushes can just do by nature, but digital brushes can't.

You can draw free-hand circles for 1000 hours and you still won't be able to draw a perfect circle manually.

Every single fucking digital app has a feature where you can easily make a circle, as well.

I don't know why people jerk off so much over "fundamentals" that are so banal like this. Just fucking draw what you like and learn time-honored concepts and bake them in over time. That's it.

Derek Harper was born in Sioux Lookout in 1977 and grew up on his grandfather’s trap line near Keewaywin First Nation in Northwestern Ontario. His artwork is inspired by stories, beliefs and superstitions told to him by his grandparents. “My grandmother and grandfather answered all my questions about how birds got their colours and where the animals came from,” Harper says.
His artistic journey began as a teenager when asthma kept him indoors during the cold winter months so, he amused himself by sketching with a set of pencil crayons. Harper’s father-in-law, Lloyd Kakepetum soon recognized his talent and introduced him to paints. Harper sold his first paintings in Toronto when he was 19 years old and his artwork has since been displayed in galleries from Thunder Bay to France, Sweden and the Netherlands.
Harper currently divides his time between Thunder Bay and the Oji-Cree community of Keewaywin, where he remains connected to his cultural traditions, hunting to provide food for his family. “When I harvest a moose, I say my respects and then when I get home, I paint it, to give it even more respect,” he says. “It’s my way of saying thanks, even for the ducks and geese. It’s what I was taught by my grandparents.” Harper works seasonally as a heavy equipment operator helping to maintain the winter roads that provide access to remote Northern First Nations. He dreams of a time when he can devote all of his attention to painting. “When I’m at work, I think all the time about my art,” he says.
Harper’s latest works are inspired by his grandfather, who was a shaman. “I’m starting to paint the things he did to heal people or help people. My uncles tell me those stories.”
Harper is a proud husband, father and grandfather.

picrel is my largest floor plan project ever. the largest deck (deck 4) is the deck that i have started on most recently and i really think i have improved just through experimentation.

>i have stopped using squares and flat edges for floor plates
>i have started incorporating circles, tabs, and diagonal lines
>i have been adding border lips to the floor plates
>i have been trimming corner pixels to make them rounder

problem is that i'm gonna have to go back to all of my previous projects to apply my new techniques and that sounds dull, but my OCD won't give me a break. is 01:00 AM for me now. should i buy more furry porn commissions online, or stick to spaceships?

Well with my project I just have art style shifts as a cue for visual progression, you could do that with your better looking ships being a progression mechanic.

>First bottle of fin

When you start taking fin +min there will be heavy shedding for a month that means the hair serum is working ,doctors usually accompany the serum with oral 1 mg fin to reduce the hairfall (in my case for a year).Also get your blood tested incels usually have vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sunlight and also take a biotin tablet along with that.

>drawing a hand takes me an hour
drawing fast in this concept art thing means literally copy/pasting a hand from your 300 terabytes of photo reference into the picture and scribbling some paint to mash it in
the whole photobash thing isn't really that far from AI in terms of soulless slop. And just like AI, concept art photobasher art all looks the fucking same.
>>7793165
The concept art gold rush was over long before AI. I'd say by 2019-2020 it was already very difficult to land a job as a 2D artist. Companies were mostly looking for 3D artists, if they wanted 2D skills it was as a complementary skill to something else (usually 3D). AI has probably cut down on the need for 2D artists across the board even further. Especially smaller companies will just use sloppa. I see fucking slop on TV ads all the fucking time, it's shit but it's free and normies are mentally handicapped so they genuinely can't tell obvious AI. there's a fucking pizza place near where I live that decorated the place with extremely low quality chinky slop posters, the really wonky shit with half a face missing and 12 fingers on each hand, nobody cares, that shit wil stay and I'm sure the fucking baboons who look at it think it's nice or something. I don't fucking understand how the fuck normies think

Is it all about the reference material?

The title, more than just asking "how to grow followers" I think its better to ask for subjects, I know that the algorithm game is just pure gambling, but surely theres something I can do.

So far Ive noticed that rather than aim for big fandoms, its better to aim for small ones, because if you aim for big ones, theres no reason why anyone would choose you over better and more popular artists, but in small niches its easier to start, in my case, drawing fanart for Mega Man is a safe bet because you are going for a small niche, and you are also drawing something that very few artists want to do, robots and machinery, provided you draw the more robotic and less humanoid characters too, of course. Also Ive also noticed that text is a more or less useful thing to garner attention, be it comics, memes, redraws, what have you, doesnt even have to be particularly good or humorous, just the fact that you stop the person in their tracks to watch your drawing to read what you wrote is enough.

Those 2 are the ones that Ive noticed that kind of work, has anyone found anything else? No use in keeping it to yourselves, we are all trying to make it here.

Or you just have to be highly contentious/anxious and do what it takes to make your dreams come true. Most artists starts out with hubris and that ignorance gives them the wiggle room to grow until they realize that making art for people is shit and the big companies you've dreamed about working for pays shit.

Good eye. It might be true.

The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here.

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.
