I saw a post about tracing up, and was curious what you guys felt about this?I've been using it a bit recently to make character sheets, or putting poses into it, and telling it to show the pose from a different angle, and it usually looks correct. I never trace, cause I actually want to get better at drawing, but I've basically been using it as a pinterest +.Whenever I see a pic from pinterest or elsewhere, but maybe the models im referencing only has a couple of pics, I'll just ask the ai to make a character sheet, or do a head sheet, and I'll get something that looks right. I dont use it a lot, but when I can't figure out how something looks, it usually points me in the right direction
>>7950645It's not necessarily bad, but there's something about AI that often looks off, and has this very... well, 'AI' feeling to it. I think the last thing you want, is for your work to look like AI, not because it's so good, but because it has that certain "off feeling" AI tends to have.Also, if you're one of those people who a staunchly against AI for moral reasons, they may dislike you work for just using the reference, despite there being no actual AI in your work.
>>7950645I don't use AI, I will never use AI, and I will not associate myself with anyone using AI in their art making. There's no reason to use AI as reference.
>>7950963What's that Tolkien quote people love to throw around?>"Evil cannot create, it only corrupts..."Sounds pretty apropos for AI in the arts.
>>7950963This sucks, though
>>7950977you are the swine you brainlet
Is there seriously no way to directly learn to draw and skip past the "churn out 1,000 terrible drawings" stage?
>>7949965Everything you encounter influences you.This data you sift, collate and express in your art, occasionally subconsciously. AI is just built to organize such visual data being machine language speed in its assembly of its image library. I am curious how it comes up with what it does. Writing prompts seems as arcane as coding to me from what I've observed in the /b/ threads, and I declare prompt scripting a craft similar to coding. Does a visually based AI know when it succeeds in fulfilling the prompts? What would IT like to make? Can one ask it?
>>7943435that's the easy part. Learning basic fundamentals is already solved for you. The hard part is drawing shit thats technically correct but boring, so you have to somehow learn how to draw with soul again.
>>7943435there is not
>>7950863>How do you know that it's botsBecause their accounts get banned, suspended, deactivated, etc.They claim it's censorship but it's mods realizing they're gaming the system and cutting them out.Tits don't get you banned, less than 1% of your hundred thousands audience being humans seeing ads does.
please don't poke the schizo
will drawing porn make me popular?
>>7951141Is Derpixon a joke to you? Or Anna Anon? Or Chris Chan?
>>7951094pyw
>>7951094simple answer: yesmore complicated answer: yes, if you focus on fan work for popular franchises and post an extreme amount of near exclusively nsfw content to keep followers
>>7951931that stick figure comic was it...
>>7951943Walkin with a dead man over my shoulder!
I hate this retarded shit. Obviously the painting on the left is just an unfinished render that went through its own stages of sketching, pretty much 80% of the whole thing done. But let's phrase it as a sketch to look like you're so much cooler
>>7947700>"just a quick sketch uwu">*fully rendered painting

>>7949691you are just coming from a position of pure ignoranceI can prove itPYW
>>7946872see how its clearly not done and he only focused in on one area
>>7951586the op? yes, I see it
I feel like my main reason for wanting to start to draw is to become good at something, not necessarily because because I have a passion for art. I just wanna feel competent for once in my life. But that's not really a good sustaining driver is it? I'll prolly throw the towel early bc of that>art is Shuzo Oshimi
>>7952845How the fuck have you managed to turn your sole source of motivation into an excuse for not doing it before you even start
>>7952845Look homie, Just draw and think about it later. As you draw, you may start having fun with it, maybe not. You only have one life, don't spend it doubting yourself, spend it doing however much you can.
>>7952856the human brain is good at making excuses. You lived this long without drawing, why start now and potentially die for it?
>>7952845You are chosing an extremely hard field, and probably only talented people are the ones who can make it.Freelancing is not profitable, and the employed job is souless due to AI.
>>7952845Well good luck mate, drawing is one of those things where if you don't have the talent, you better have passion or determination. If your only goal is to get good at drawing, if you don't have any semblance of talent, be prepared for a lot of struggling
Indian guy made it
>>7937278>/ic got mogged by a single IndianOh no no, not like this.
>>7944472I don't understand it either, an Indian doesn't fall into any of the negative stereotypes and people here still get mad. I'm happy for the guy, he seems talented
>>7941126>Actually make a profit from it firstwhy are indians so obsessed with profits?
>>7937602Its because India sucks.
>>7937602Why would I, who grew up and fell in love with Japanese anime/manga, Japanese art style, Japanese culture, and the Japanese country, fucking draw my own country and culture, which is not the one I am interested in?

DUDE you like... ever draw when you were on drugs?
This thread is an excellent exhibition on how useless drugs are as a creative supplement. The most productive drug user in this thread appears to be >>7950851 this guy and all he does is make poorly drafted scribble comics littered with vanity philosophy. Surely if you want to be a loser in life, you need to do drugs.
>>7952077I am sorry not to have your approval. I will continue my scribbles just to see where they go. The composition is random and suffers from it to some extent, but I skip around when I am making these recent works all over the page. Start in a place, branching out with light lines then bringing older bits into focus and expanding the composition. I like what I make. I may shift focus very soon from single drawings like this very soon. But for now, I am happy.
>>7950851>>7952563Your comic me like it. Give me blog me want read it
My addiction is drawing. My drug is art. The only toxic chemicals I need are paints.
>>7952626Last year around this time I made a thread of all my work, starting with the entire Snowglobe story 180+ strips, my only 16 page self contained prototype comic fully completed that I created to teach myself Photoshop Legerdermain, along with other stuff. And I did that because I lost what drawing time I had and sacrificed my marijuana money for bills for most of the year, and produced only this, and only through the kindness of a friend I received some pot so old it came in actual Dime Bags, but it was enough. And since the $25 per week average I spend is now a necessity. Art can only happen through it, and art must happen. But here is stuff at my Deviantart, a thing I haven't updated in years. https://www.deviantart.com/jeremeyprickles/gallery
1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)Previous thread: >>7873935
>>7955064Thanks man>>7955261No problem!! I'm glad you like it, I might redraw but that's to be seen. Have my girl :o)
>>7955290Before the thread dies
>>7955626This is fantastic!! Thank you so much :o)
>>7912863>>7954648I haven't drawn on pc in ages but hopefully this is ok!! I just wasn't happy with the other
>>7955794I love this thank you so muchI really appreciate it
Not even his course helped. i quit drawing.
>>7951990even when this was newly ripped, even the ripper thought he wasted his 1 hour ripping this lmao
>>7952473Hes a retard-proof teacher, idk what you guys expected. Hes good at explaining stuff to literal babies
>>7952129>glassesHe's a lucky man
His course + Keys to Drawing + Perspective Made Easy is a surefire way to get out of /beg/ stage
>>7952489more like retard poof lmoa
Japanese artists masturbate to their own drawings, can you do same?
>>7943488If youre using xitter or 4chin as a way to learn to draw youre just wasting your time. Its as productive as playing videogames
Not really, i mostly draw landscapes. I don't find the Western Hills Viaduct particularly erotic.
>>7944967this is why people get secretariesso they can go under the table and suck you of while you work.
>>7943488I ONLY fap to my own drawings. I'm not allowed to directly fap to anything else. That's the rule. If I don't draw something new since the last time I've fapped I've got to finish a drawing first.Of course I can still study other porn art but I just can't fap to it. I have to make my own version first.
>>7943488yes, unironically need advice on how to stop getting bricked up halfway through a sketch
>Try drawing something that isn't a demon>Fail
>>7951759it's a deep depiction of op's jimmies being rustled

How do I learn how to draw anime?
learn from my wife
>>7951854does my drawing look like i haven't figured it out, faggot?
>>7951989yup
>>7951891Your wife would look good decapitated
>>7952119my art smokes yours
I feel like something is wrong with the arm/hand here, but for the life of me I can't figure out what. Does anyone have advice? Even if that advice is that I'm wrong and it's fine.
>>7952195Dang, that does look better.>>7952200The other arm looks a little better there but the main problem is it's so hard to read as separate from the torso.
>>7952200I agree. I think her other arm might have to come out like pic related, but to do this I will have to change the whole anatomy balance a bit more. She's sitting too upright for her to lean back on her arm. This whole pose is off.
Possible alternative composition. Thoughts?
>>7952160Yeah, but she doesn't need to be naked for you to see where her arms wind up. My point was that it's an easy thing to ask someone to sit for a moment while you figure something out.Anyway, weird arm aside, your work's pretty great. Good luck with it.
>>7951983Please don't change your style, I legit like it. It's different.
>The tip of my marker makes the slightest most gentle contact ever documented with the paper>It barely even touches the paper>In 0.0001 milleseconds a huge fucking ink blot is formed under the tip as if the paper is fucking sucking in the ink>Now this spot is dark and disgusting and soggy and nothing will ever fix itIs something wrong with the marker? The paper? I'm new to drawing with markers (I usually either paint with acrylic paint or just draw digitally), what the fuck is this???
nearly sure its your paper. you have to get the kind that doesn’t bleed through. it’s more expensive but using paper not meant for markers/watercolors isn’t tenable for all the bleedthrough. marker paper + markers work wonderfully.here, like this, in your address bar:>nevermind, no matter how i reformat, site won’t let me link anything. search “marker pad” on amazon, that should fix things
Funny thing is I'm using paper specifically made for watercolors and markers. Yet for some reason it makes the marker color like it's really wet when compared to how it colors on regular paper. Like I can draw a line and watch as it spreads on the paper like it's actual liquid.
make copier paper bend to your will and not those fancy schmancy special papers. it's the only way.
>>7952173What marker and what paper?
Use Bristol board.
