I this a good character design?
>>6679416I actually like the nose, provided you weren't trying to make her hot. I know this is a coomer board now(this is actually the first time in a decade i've been here), but intentionally ugly does not equal a bad character design.
Everyone saying that her nose makes her ugly, to me, instead of ugly she looks like an older woman, don't know if this was the intention, but it's looks good
>>6679416shes ugly
>>6679416Yep, decent looking with distinct shapes (pauldrons, hat, pants) now go to color design hehehe.You will yet know the follies of your forethought.
>>6688985To me it looks like a highly athletic woman in her late 20s with an ugly hook nose strapped to her face. Nothing about her looks old aside from the nose
Can you become a popular internet artist without doing shit like "building an online personality" or whatever if your art is good enough? Is just posting art very often decent enough if the quality is good?
>if your art is good enoughyou have to have SOME amount of skill but you'll never make it if you're some turbo autist. I've seen people who objectively draw better than I ever will get a tenth of my imaginary internet numbers.Your art brings the views but it's the rest of you that brings the reddit gold or whatever applies to the shithole you pick as a platform.
>>6689877Just look at any asian artists with usernames like "0009999090" and handles like "jun" or "sky" you'll be okay bro
>>6689877First you need to drawDraw better and betterJoin multiple platformsFocus on the platforms where you have the most likes(for me it was Pixiv), link to your other platforms/fanbox
>>6689877Unless you want to be rich and famous schizo after death Van Gogh style... Unfortunately no, you gotta learn on how to sell your shitty art as an invaluable piece. Art in itself has and always be a scam. Learn on how to be a scam artist. That or you could reach out to Mafia to launder money.
>>6689877Yes, just speak through your art. I'm bland as a piece of toast online, but my art is recognizable enough to be its own USP
you can't compare a real, physical, human-made, object of beauty, with a simple bunch of 1s and 0s that a dumb computer could easily generate
>>6691623/thread
>>6691588art is to compel, if it gets your attention and a reaction I bet you can call it art.
>>6691890is the evil AI in the room with us right now?
>>6691977KEK
>>6691977This statement is false.
I make super autistic plans regarding what to study and set a specific amount of time regarding how much I will improve before I even start everytime I want to "get back into drawing", and then I keep procrastinating because I don't have the will anymore. Any tips for actually starting again as someone who didn't exactly learn how to draw well and has high standards regarding art he himself can't reach with his current skills? It's gotten to the point I legitimately envy beginners because they have fun drawing even if they aknowledge their art is bad.
Analysis paralysis, you already know the answer.Just draw.
Lower your standards, as simple as that.
>>6691944Yeah but I also want to get gains alongside having fun, I have the fear of building comfort zones or not catching up to art friends I'm jealous of regarding skills if I stay in perma-low standards mode
>>6691940literally just draw, people get mad at this simple advice because you are confronted with actual effort, just fuck off and do the first thing in your list you pussy
>>6691948You will get gains anyways. If it they were very small gains which they probably aren't what do you think long term gives more improvement, small consistent gains or procastinating and barely drawing,
i WILL start making billion gazillion money from porn commissions and i will NOT kill myself before that happens i SWEAR
>>6691681>i meant researching what is the most optimal thing to draw for getting more followerswell, what is it?>where to post my stuffisnt twitter good enough for that?
>>6691854NTA but most my comms come from DA and Pixiv
>>6691864The good thing about DA is (I believe) its huge userbase with its diverse taste on basically anything. I guess one could find a good following even on a very niche fetish or whatever. Bad thing is that its a very cringy place for me which is why I'm not that familiar with it nor I care that much about it.
>>6691879Yup. People who comm art usually want to comm art that hits their kinks and they browse art of that scene in sites that have lotsa artists and are easy to navigate to find either latest art with sought tags or highest rank art of the tag. And yeah communities are all about the users, some are cringier, some are less. But active communities also boost the comm demand because people have their OCs and they want to show off art featuring their OCs.
>>6691854>well, what is it?not surprisingly porn (not just naked women) with somewhat juicy rendering, and possibly not just 1 drawing but something comic-like with a little story seems to gain a lot of clicks even if it doesnt have the best quality of art>isnt twitter good enough for that?the more the betterwish i also knew some big discord servers where i can post my stuff>>6691864weirdly i got most of my comms from twitter, even though my pixiv grew on its own faster than twitter where i got reposted by 2 very big artistsi had 2 offers on pixiv, but they all were mega scammy
I drew this artwork a while ago but now I think it could be better pls tell me how to fix it
>>6691895I prescribe three shots of arthur guptill and daily dose of peter han for 10 minutes each
ITT monster and creature designGamey 90s and 00s stuff preferred but anything goes
bump
>>6684311Don't be mean :(>>6684291Very cute
Why did pre-2000 anime character designs generally look so silly?
I dunno, why does your mother fuck niggers?
>>6691560They knew how to have fun without making everything a comedy
>>6691560Back when designers had imagination and soul
fuck off gabe
an ai died for this
thoughts about picarto.tv? I received an offer, and I doesn't know anything about the platform.
They've really not done much to improve the platform and take advantage of Twitch shooting themselves in the head.
>>6690155What did twitch do?
>>6690755their best
As a viewer, I prefer it to twitch. No ads and I can save vods. No nudity restrictions like on twitch, either.Most of the artists I like, who stream, stream on picarto. A few on piczel.I just wish more who streamed saved their vods.
>>6690755Twitch is now taking money off from users who leaves the affiliate program and also they're going to implement some rules that limits the usage some type of stream assets like overlays and logo what makes sponsoring more difficultAnd probably putting more ads in the platform
What are these kind of backgrounds called?Do you have any tutorials?Any more references?
>>6688979>>6689493This is a really good thread tbqh, i've always wondered what these are called but never thought they had a real nameI also found out it's tagged as Faux_Figurine on danbooruhttps://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=faux_figurine

>>6691128they do these retarded guides to feel like theyre actually not wasting time, its just shitposting but with more steps
>>6690794ahh.... eto... but... my drawings look like that...
>>6691550Gomene anon-kun, i...
>>6691550I'm that anon and this guide barely helped, I still suckdrawing manual was way better than ctrlpaint though>>6690794fwiw I had a much better time with keys to drawing, then a book on perspective, then vilppu drawing manualthe David Finch guide is also a good roadmap
Anyone interested in documenting your progress in a 1 year journey? I'm currently aimless and would like to do something with consistency. Maybe we could even have some kind of program or routine to follow.
>>6690177pyw
>>6690206Hey man, i also sent you a request : DI'm vinzoomer#7924
>>6690177sadlawn 2.0
>>6690188 As this anon said, you can also try the DAD website or thread here on IC, we have a great discord for people as soon as your reach a two weeks drawing streak.If that's not your thing good luck in your journey anon! You could create a discord group or server for anyone interrested.
>>6691188its more like 12.0 at this point
I've always found myself getting distracted and I have no one in real life to ask this to so I turn to you fellows. whatcha do?
>>6681824ED from Masturbation itself is a myth, ED from Porn Addiction however is a little more true but still not as crippling as it would sound
>>6682318I kneel before the superior womxn queen
>>6685954>>6682824 is not sane but otherwise correct
I find that the act of creating something fills me with an energy that manifests ss a persistent and distracting hard ons. I could be building stuff in Second Life, whimsical ballrooms,animated paintings,and that is slapping textures onto conjured blocks,and hardly sexually stimulating. But I would get so annoyingly horney I would abandon my projects to go hunt down some sweet young newbie and sweet talk her out of her pixilated clothes. Even at the drawing board, it gets charged. More slowly, less often, but it may be just the passion I put into my work at times, when I want to evoke a catharsis. And in the lore of my fictdom,the enchanting of magic items makes one enchantress supercharged and fur sparkling,and can only be grounded out through hard orgasms. Her boyfriend speaks darkly of being both drugged and ensorsceled into superhuman endurance, and is as unnerving as watching a Tesla coil riding your cock. Creating, procreating. Perhaps it's the depths art reaches,the ideas they invoke.I remember giggling over having to study The Grapes of Wrath in high school when I was 14. An ex-preacher hung out with the Joads,defrocked for seducing a parishioner. He said Preaching the Word of God filled him up with such vitality that sex was inevitable. Or something like that. One of the younger Joads mentions that they used to live under a Protestant clergyman and his wife,and after service she would get "a God awful pounding". Art,or at least these tales that spring from my pen,I find as perplexing, mysterious, reverent, and devout as any religious fervor. Only I know What Happens Next, and I owe it to posterity to tell them. Simple as that. It's selling it to others for cash that's the problem. How do you package the dream? How do you get others to believe in the world that you made as strongly as you do? I see parallels between religion and artist pursuit. Same energy evoked,and needing dispersal. So you get horny. Get it over with on your next break. That's all.
>get horny>jerk off>done in a few minutes if neededhow do artist girls jerk off? heard they take too long to get it over with and the cleanup process afterwards looks tedious; probably vaporizes all the inspiration after too
Is there a point when it comes to the amount of hours you spend drawing during a single day that leads to diminishing returns? How many hours a day is too many hours to where you're wasting your time? Obviously this might vary between people but is there a rule of thumb?Is it better to spread 10 hours drawing a week into 2 hours a day for five days, or doing all 10 hours on a single day with a lot of breaks? Does it really matter?
>>6689294Her regular vidya streams are the same dumbed down vtuber trash that's just a girl playing videogames badly and giggling for an audience for simpbuxHer art streams are amazing though. You can learn a lot from them, from drawing along, or copying, or the tools she uses, or trying to imitate her workflow. There's a lot to learn from watching a pro like her complete a drawing in a single stream. She also explains some stuff sometimes but since her audience are mouthbreathers that are just there for girl noises audio, they repeat the same questions over and over like "how do I artz xd" over and over, so you won't learn much from that.
>>668917330 mins is usually the minimum warm up for physical activities and no matter what nerds say, drawing is much more like a sport than a science.6 hours is the maximum you can stay focused on a task.So two daily 90 minute sessions with their respective warm ups is best.
>>6689294She knows how to draw.
If you have no deadlines to meet,draw until you aren't productive. Take breaks to eat,relax,and game. The mind needs a little leisure to be focused on your art properly.
>>6690877>Inai never heard of her and tried to watch an art stream but cant sit through burikko voice.
