I want to draw, but I worked chest and back today, and I feel so sleepy, I cant sit upright for more than an hour without feeling like Im going to pass out. When my broke ass can buy something that lets me work from my bed, I'll level up.
improvement tier list now
Is this a Nicolaides exercise? What did Ocos and Urazi get out of this?
>>7394603>What did Ocos and Urazi get out of this?why not just ask them, sweaty?
Because my desire to give fuel to the thread is stronger than the care for the actual answer.
ngmi mentality. suit yourself, though.
Not my fault you can't recognize rhetoric!
i feel bad for uploading mostly doodles day after day but i'm so tired kek. it's easier to zone out in a game or just doomscrolling than it is to draw sometimes...i need easy escapism. thanks for reading my blog >do a flipokay, just for you
>>7394850>i feel bad for uploading mostly doodles day after dayyou're not that important. upload what you like, no one cares.
>>7394850drawing IS the easy escapism, you're just looking at it wrong!
>>7394603That's a Viktor Kalvachev exercise, I believe. There's even what he calls a "hatching cloud" at top left.It's supposed to improve crosshatching.>>7394850This >>7395020. When I purposely deprive myself of cheap entertainment, the only thing left to do is draw. And the more I draw the more I want to draw. And if I don't want to draw I can't do anything else to feed goblin brain, so I'd rather draw.I'm actually breaking my rules being itt right now.
how can a woman look so ugly
Reminder to ignore vagueposting
>>7395043woman are the ugliest beings of them all, in aesthetics especially, maybe that is a bit extreme, but in 99% of the cases it is just true, the overall features might be interesting, if they actually exercise a healthy amount, but often they themselves desire to have the proportions of some fertility goddesses carving from the neolithic era. i despise how much some of them are willingly reducing themselves to sexual objects through the pressure of their environment. an asexual virgin twink will always be the most beautiful thing to live besides in the world, even better if they keep their delicate features through hrt and stop their body from decaying into the ogreish end-stadium that is male aging, preferably one would need no hormones, but our biology is shackled by either having to choose the bpd drug that is estrogen, or the factory setting of an nostalgia riddled ape that is the average mediterranean unkempt uncle. hopefully one day we can remove sexual reproductive organs completely without ruining the manipulated flesh around it, as for they should not be defiled. i just long for the apokatastasis of mankind, and for that the stolen rib has to be returned.
>>7395065Ur mama is ugly and she gave birth to an malform waste of air.
>started a new job>the sunday is extremely slowHell yeah, I lucked out on downtime lottery.
>>7395090You got so offended that you forgot to use common sense. That's the only way falling for such obvious bait can be explained.

What's the benefit of joining the discord server of this general
>>7396395You gain access to the community habitica group where your real streak is.
Why the fuck did my left wrist/thumb joint suddenly started hurting yesterday? I did draw a lot (~5 hours is a lot for me) that day but I'm righthanded. It doesn't hurt that bad but is annoying.
>>7395530
I hit a new record of streak today guys :)
>>7396414>Why the fuck did my left wrist/thumb joint suddenly started hurting yesterday?without additional info we couldn't possible know
>>7396414Try to stretch before and after you done drawing (repeat each 2 hours of drawing). On youtube you can find some exercises.And go to the gym to strength your muscles. If the pain doesn't go away, go look for a doctor.take care anon
Are we still doing secret santa?
if ones body starts hurting and they havnt achieved anything in life, it is the signal for that their existence is a waste and one should lessen the burden placed upon the world. i myself am waiting, hopefully my time will end in 2025
>>7396676After wad was banned it was cancelled :(
>>7396678Really? dang
>>7396650thanks, I think it got better after some stretches but I'm still baffled why my non dominant hand would get strained. I need to pay some attention to it next time I'm using my tablet for long stretches of time.
>>7396680he was supposed to do gifts for everyone, too.
mr. banana I am trying to make my first submission but I'm not getting the email verification, I sent you an email to lastartiststanding3@gmail.com <3
>>7397134btw does anyone know if this is a common issue? I signed up with a hotmail and my friend used a gmail address and they got the verification link sent right away
>>7397197I hear if you're a deeply closeted gay guy the system knows not to send you a verification link
>>7397200Well actually I'm not gay at all, straight as an arrow
>>7397201hmm, well let me ask you a question: do you own a dog house?
>>7397202No... Hey, didn't I see you at the university of logic yesterday?
>>7397204maybe you (i.e. one of them gays) meant the university of science, of which I am in fact the professor of logic. you seem nice though, you should have a chicken with me someday.
>>7397118awww man

what are the actual boundaries of the website? i know that edgy stuff and porn is allowed..but regarding the 2d in 3d challenge, could one upload a picture where one would make a joke with fresh cutting wounds and their character?
>>7397462I dont think your cry for attention will gain you any support here, regardless of rules
>>7397465yeah, i think itll most likely just seem like that, ill not do it then. although its a bit sad how strong the topic is in the public eye. i think its healthier than people who smoke or drink, but whatever.>draw somebody drinking themselves almost to deathwooow my heckin representation, isnt that guy cool and mysterious>draw somebody cuttingwhat an edgelord and attention seeking faggot, despite the former killing way more people on a yearly basis then it could ever accomplish

Which dad is the most vulnerable?
>>7397774>the most vulnerableto hwat?
>>7397774obviously me.
>>7397774You for asking this.
>>7397741>drawing that's obviously a digital painting, not a drawing :^)
>>7397753Are these dads in the thread with us right now?
Visited the submissions page and WOW not a SINGLE GOOD DRAWING SO FAR!!! You guys seriously have to put some fucking effort into your shit.
>>7398788it's because i didn't submit yet :3 (it won't be good either)
>>7398788why should anyone care what you think about art?
Heheheheh damn I haven't finished a drawing in like a week now. I've been clocking in with 30 minutes worth of lethargic or drunken slop. Help me get my groove back, somebody say something motivating please. PLEASE!!
>>7399173OK, but this also goes out to all the anons I see who post self-pitying things in their submission titles and descs. You are still putting in the effort even if it doesn't feel like it, and other people recognize that even if you don't. So perhaps the 'need' to finish a work feels awful and oppressive, because you feel lazy and useless, but that just isn't true. Underneath that ugly feeling there is a part of you that really wants to finish a piece because you really want to, because you have something you want to create and share. So go for it anon.
>>73991739099 I recommend you use a diary instead of attentionwhoring
>>7399257Woah that was me! Nice job, what gave it away? That's pretty wise anon. I need to speak my mind once in a while so I can relax, I dont use those gay ass social medias to do it like everyone else. So much for art being an outlet huh? HAHAHAHAIA>>7399194That's good advice for everyone, nice job
>>7396577>I'm only one post off from making itIt's so over...
>>7399417im wondering who of the other three you are

wonder how wad's fairing in these trying times
>>7399877I'm plapping his cheeks as I type this, AMA
>>7399889how's wad fairing in these trying times?
>>7399900Everyday he comes up to me crying and telling me hes sad because no senorita will suck his mini Pepito. So I have to give him my own salami stick to sucke on until he stops crying. He's a sensitive soul.
>>7399871If you're some nerd I was mean to, you had it coming! Not sorry! Cracka
Please, tell me what is the worst thing about my art,What makes it unappealing?
>>7400290addiction to 3/4ths profile heads, try drawing faces/heads that work better with the bodies you draw. Also with the heads, it seems like they're trying to tuck their chins into their necks (except bottom left).
>>7400290I don't think this is a productive line-of-questioning, as people simply have different taste. I can imagine plenty of people online seeing your stuff and going (g)a(y)pe shit over it. I personally don't find it appealing, but I tend to like more classical and traditional art.
>>7400298I see what you mean, Thank you a lot anon
>>7400307All my art keeps badly flopping compared to my friends, even in the targeted communities, so there must be something in it which repels ppl and makes them not like it. I really want to work on improving it, but I don't know what's wrong
>>7400310well presumably you want to make stuff that appeals to (you) as well, so I think a better approach would be to provide references wherever you're asking for critiques - whether of your friends' work or other work you would like to emulate which also gets more engagement than yours. also, while I don't know the specifics of where you post your work - and it's not like you have to tell us - perhaps it's worth considering that there are other things you could be doing to improve your engagement aside from simply changing how you draw. I would assume that even in your more particular vein of style and subject matter there are worse artists who get more praise/engagement.
>>7400290NTA but adding onto the heads thing, they seem a little too big to me (mainly on top right and bottom left, it fits the 2000s style better). More on top right- you could work on your anatomy, his arms seem too low. If you raised his left (our right) arm higher you could put more emphasis on his fat tiddies by having them stick out of the silhouette. Your rendering is really great and I love your devotion to your husbando, please don't get too down on yourself!
>>7400290I actually love your rendering very much and I admire how clean the result is. I’m curious, how long does a piece usually take you? Would you ever post a process vid or maybe a screenshot from your layers or something? I love this kind of anime look but i can never get it to look right, it always ends up looking sloppy ;(
>>7400290There's nothing technically wrong for what you're trying to accomplish with this artstyle, but subjectively I just find it incredibly boring, it makes me think of Crunchiroll ads or something very sterilized like that, I just tune out and ignore itBut if you like this style keep going there's nothing wrong with it
>>7400290Top right looking fucked up. Consider using reference for buff bodies next time.
>>7400328Thank you anon, I’ve been thinking about it yesterday and I think most of my problems stem from the flat angle/poor perspective which makes the characters not engage much with the viewer. I try to post on platforms with no „algorithm” and it flops there as well, which made me certain the art just isn’t good enough and I really need to change something. The replies have already helped me a lot>>7400338Thank you so much anon, I’m really happy to hear it, I will start paying a lot more attention to proportions and anatomy instead of rendering since now on>>7400425Thank you so much, it really means a lot to me… I’m extremely slow when I draw, I think 70% is studying the reference. I think the rendering itself doesn’t take so much time, I used to over render a lot and it looked very plastic but I think it’s a bit better now. I would love to help with process/layers, which drawing from my gallery as a whole is your favorite? I switch between two different processes (very clean layers for 00s and overpainting one layer for modern style)>>7400619Do you know any similar anime artstyles that you find interesting and would you mind showing me? I think my art is boring as well and that it’s missing „something”>>7400654I’m not very good at male bodies yet, I will put more effort in the construction next time
and they say women are oppressed
what's the silliest way to get myself banned?
>>7400670I really like the portraits you did on the top left and bottom right, the 2000s style. I think it’s very appealing, I try to emulate it too but like I said it always ends up looking so sloppy, and I end up merging all the layers because I get confused. I don’t know if I’m not careful enough or maybe I’m underestimating how long a render like this takes.That’s why I’m curious ! And like I said, very admirative c:
>>7400824generate a loli hitler
>>7400824track your time as 29 minutes every day and see how long it takes
>>7400884Seconding this one, thats actually funny
>>7400826Oh I see!! I think it could be all about the shading layers-- I'm really happy that it appeals to you btw..... I tried to take a screenshot of my layers but I feel like it's really confusing, and then tried to describe the process for 15 minutes but it was a chaotic mess as well (I'm not good at explaining) so I think I'll have to record a timelapse on the part where I do flat colors and arrange the shadow layers, I'm going to work on a 00s drawing in a few days so I'm gonna upload it on dad and link the video in the description
>>7400826>>7400968I forgor about the screenshot but I don't think it helps much, I need to record the video
>>7400969>more than 5 layerswhat is this trash
>>7401089shut the fuck up
>>7401379You can't take any criticism? Weak ass bitch, you're never gonna make it.
>>7401403Huh? You probably get ignored by everyone irl right?
>>7401379It’s okay, he just really wants attention but thank you for standing up for me
>>7400968>>7400969Thank you so much for response and looking forward to it !!! Just seeing the layers is very insightful. It’s interesting that everything is separated (arms/shirt/collar…), because what I do is that I do a layer where all the color flats are and then I add a ‘shading layer’ for the whole thing. I imagine that’s why on my end it gets messy so fast lol. Is there a reason you use masking on the folders and stuff ? Is it just so you know what you’re working on based on the shape ?Also I’m curious as to what your filling in method is? Like after the line art and before the rendering, just blocking in the color planes. I use a mix of the wand and lasso selection tool but I feel like I always end up with missing little pixels here and there or like ‘filling artefacts’(I wouldn’t know exactly what to call them but I’m sure you know what I mean). I’ve seen people in speedpaints really meticulously paint each area in and I’m wondering if it’s worth doing haha

4 years of doing this and I'm still drawing like an amateur. Am I ever gonna make it /ic/ bros?
>>7401455>criticizing others on an artwork/critique board must be a cry for attention :^)Remind me, which dad are you? I don't want to accidentally give advice or any feedback to the likes of you. Since you're assuming I'm malicious, you should have no problem with making sure I won't interact with you in the future, so give me your name.
>>7401851>Am I ever gonna make it /ic/ bros?well it depends on what exactly you mean by "making it": whether you mean it in a strictly technical sense, a commercial sense, or both. but your potential to gain technical proficiency isn't defined by an individual drawing, nor by the sum of your drawings up until this point. if you want advice on how to improve, be clear about how you study and we can see where you can improve your routine. commercial success always includes some element of luck/chance/opportunity/whatever you wanna call it - something outside of what you can control. so will you ever make it in that sense? perhaps not. it's worth considering, if you want commercial success, that most people don't make it in that regard. doesn't mean you shouldn't try, but being realistic can save you a lot of trouble.
>>7401771as if that is not enough he puts the hand DEEEPAAH
>>7401864Well I just want become better in a technical sense, I feel like I'm stagnated and people who started after me got to a much better technical skill level. I can't transfer what I learn to practice. This is the best thing I drew and even though I felt it was good enough it still looks like a wip rather than a finished project
>>7401956>I feel like I'm stagnated and people who started after me got to a much better technical skill levelthat's par the course. some people have more time and/or get better advice and instruction through better resources. how often do you study and what resources have you used up until this point?>This is the best thing I drew and even though I felt it was good enough it still looks like a wip rather than a finished project>looks like a wipwell yeah, because you didn't push it that far. only one character has any tone, and it's relatively minimal (hair and socks). also it's on a blank background, which makes it look more like an incomplete idea. incomplete ideas and studies are fine, but if you want something to look finished you need more than just some line and minimal tone. what's the most time you've put into a "finished" piece?
>>7401972>socksstockings/pants, you get the idea
>>7401972I see, well I'll try to get out of my comfort zone more often, but before I go I wanna ask for your opinion on that second picture? It was my attempt at drawing different, more dynamic poses. Is it good as it is stands? What would you change about it?
>>7402003>Is it good as it is stands?all that really matters is if you like it. you *could* make either character more dynamic - having the standing girl bend down more, say, and having the other girl flail her legs or something - but obviously you can exaggerate poses quite a bit. so I wouldn't say dynamism by itself is desirable. for something like that, it would probably be most productive to see references and artwork which have dynamic poses you enjoy and try to analyze and emulate them - whether that be by copying, or by creating original drawings with a similar degree of dynamism. depending on your purpose you might want/need a pose that's quite stiff. so always try to think about the pose in the broader context of the piece or study.
>>7401831Well clearly someone isn’t good enough for a level 3 badge.
>>7402122>someone doesn't like POOOOOOP
>>7401734>draw shitjokes on you, all my drawings are shit by my incredibly high standards :^)Therefore I'll be drawing shit, even when not.

>>7402618definitely not to post any art, lmao
does anybody here relate to having regressed the past years in art? if so, what are your responses to it? my art from 2.5 years ago just looks better weirdly. i wouldnt call it better in how it is done, maybe to a degree, but more so better in soul and character. how could one even counteract that? i feel like returning to the roots, and drawing like one used to, yet wouldnt that just defeat the purpose of the entire last years? it would be like admitting defeat. should one just push forwards and hope that on a yet distant day theyll be a breakthrough grand enough to justify it all? it kind of feels weird, especially in regards to the other people on dad, because whenever i go through the galleries of others, its at most very slow progression, seldom utter stagnation that im witnessing. maybe it is because of how and what people decide to post? but i just cannot relate to anybody on this site sadly.
>>7402710Are you pushing your drawings so they look as good as you can get them, or relying on ugly crutches and settling because it looks finished?
>>7402249he is
>>7402740i think so? its not like i used to spend more time. i personally hate overrendered pieces, and think soft brushes are a bane to art, but this shouldnt restrict me, as there are many good artists who have the same mindset. its just that the colour, motive, perspective and general feeling feel disappointing. especially in animation, i cant even replicate what i did months ago
>>7402741Beauty it is in the eyes of the beholder. I would rub his belly if he let me.
>>7402746I wasn't talking about being a render monkeyI mean do you settle on your stuff being ugly, not making changes or seeking aesthetic appeal because it's what you're used to? When did you last ask for critique? Are those people used to you saying "that's just my style"

>>7403484>i feel badnot enough to stop posting them
If I make a knee fetish challenge will you guys join

>>7403489YES!!!!
>>7402975In my excuse that wasn't the first draft.I did a lot of erasing and re-measuring to where I became sick of itNice knowing someone is noticing me though. I'll do my best
>>7403489Only if its fat knees like this
>posts same thing 3 timesis this how you get your house ahead, chat?>>7403486well, yes. i will get better with practice (debatable) but i can still feel the cringe.

>>7403489If its normal knees, sure, keep it normal, like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGVGqeSlglU
computer issue. lost the progress for this particular sprite and had to make some compromisesresize, unsharp mask, remove background, did the same for the alternate facial expressions and tried to get them to match up with the initial sprite as best as i could. looks noticeably blurry and unsharp masked next to the rest of the sprites but it was a relatively quick recoveryall i know is pain. i'm lucky i didnt have that much progress on the other one i lost

The Thread doesn't care about the 'vent thread' (crybaby thread) -- it's a joke, to be laughed at.
I draw another day, I win again. I can't stop winning.
I think I have a skin tag on my balls and I keep fantasizing about ripping it out against my better judgment
>>7403775>counter argument>to directionless bitchingRetard.
>>7402896I uploaded a drawing from a long time ago because I didn't draw that day, I did this multiple times already. I'm scared if I ever get caught because a person I'm close with was mad once to another person who did the same thing and called them out on it.
What happened to Courtier?
>>7403885nigga said "bon voyage", hopped on his dragon, and fucked off to the creatures of the mountains
>>7403885>>7403902>he's goneGood. He wasn't a part of the community for years now (with the way he locked his comments or avoided threads and discord) and he was stagnating really badly. I'm not sure what his goals were, but dad clearly wasn't helping him at all with them.Also he was a bit of a dick to me.
>>7404007This bitchy petty community?DAD is useful but outside of a few people it's attention seekers or people with an axe to grind.
>>7402896I don't reply to trannies when they comment on my posts
>>7404019Did you came to your conclusions based on anonymous commentators?
drew yesterday, drew today, gonna draw tomorrow

just always turn your comments off, as if people posting on dad will ever critique any piece, at most its some shallow compliments. and i get it, i like to write anonymously under others art quite often. but to express one liking others isnt the same as hearing it.the real feedback is within this thread.. even if its ever so rare to see.
Both avenues of comments must be enabled such that the running ratio of anonymous to identified comments may be known.
>>7404500>as if people posting on dad will ever critique any pieceHave you tried actually asking for critique and putting "CRITME" in the title of your submission?Because if you think people should give critiques that nobody is asking for, that they would be appreciated or useful, then you're either a retarded nodraw or completely asocial autist.>at most its some shallow complimentsLurk moar, newfag. And write blogposts under your submissions if you want to get a discussion going.
I want to draw MORE but I just can't make myself do it
>>7404776what's your daily schedule like?
>>7404795I dont have a particular set time for art, I usually do an hour or two before bedThats when Ive done everything else that I needed to that day
>>7404804well what are your typical daily/weekly obligations and how much time do you waste per day on average?
>>7404776same, but work ties me out badly. i think if i weren't /beg/ i could put more hours into it but as i am i just get frustrated that i'm putting out slop + bored of studying easily after a long day of "upskilling" and doing the corpocuck shuffle >excuse makingyeah
I'm just going to force myself to do 2 hours a day and see if it gets any easier after a couple of weeks and then increase the time
>>7404776I feel you, just make yourself do more, set a timer and don't stop drawing.>>7404860I started doing this yesterday, I was in a rut with only drawing 30 to 50 min scribbles every day, when I've got a huge backlog of stuff I need to finish. Good luck anon.I'm going to rant about time to draw a little because I just woke up and want to get it off my chest. Working full time, while also working hard at the gym twice a week has been leaving me feeling like I don't have energy for anything lately. When I draw it's usually late at night close to the deadline and I'm sleepy, makes me not want to draw for long and it feels like I'm not in high spirits to draw anything good in the first place. When I get back from work or the gym I just want to lay down, and if feels like I'm using all my willpower to sit at my desk and draw at my computer, shit sucks. I forced myself to draw for 2 hours yesterday, and while I got more done, I was still just tired throughout it and instead of focusing all my attention on drawing "I WANT TO SLEEP" was drilling into my brain and I was more focused on watching the minutes tick by. I feel like that might be a temporary thing though, I'm going to draw for 2 hours for atleast a week and see if I start adapting to it. It'll build character.
>>7404970good luck, and always remember that you drawing 2 hours is already impressive compared to many others. i myself as an example just do 30 min slop most of the time and lay in bed watching the ceiling for 6 hours. i know that i should draw instead, but at this point i use my meager gallery as a tool to hurt myself.taking care of your body is also very important, so keep working on it-
>>7404970Well, I got up to 2 hours tonight and felt ok about itI think I get hindered a lot of the time by feeling like I need to make good use of my art time, need to either learn something or make something that I can post and share and gain follows from etcI'm trying to throw out that mindset now and instead focus on the mantra that "Anything is better that nothing"Even if the 2 hours is worthless doodles that I'm not going to show a soul, that's still 2 hours better spent there than on Youtube or Netflix or vidya
>>7404970First of all, congratulations for drawing on top of everything else! Second, my advice would be to always keep a sketchbook on you. Life drawing is one of the most valuable and rewarding things out there, and one of the easiest things to do on the go. I don’t know what your commute is like, but if you use public transport you can always draw there. Or during break at work, or once you step out of the gym or something. I draw when I’m out with friends or have appointments I need to wait for, etc. Basically my point is try to seamlessly integrate drawing into your daily routine. Instead of picking up your phone, maybe pick up your sketchbook for 10-15 minutes. It’s super fun, maybe it will feel like a little bit of a chore at first, but that will quickly subside. I think it’s easier to make it a habit than forcing yourself to sit at your desk before bed. Just a suggestion though! But whatever works best for you.
>>7401858Damn. I guess I’m really done for, then… Without the invaluable knowledge you’ve gathered in the secret anime artist Discord server you can’t get into before reaching the 500k follower mark and working fifteen years in the industry, I guess I’ll truly never make it and remain a permabeg until the end of my days>>7401491I’m so sorry I’ve been really busy lately and didn’t have time to check on the thread, could you write me a comment under a random submission so I could reply to u later? My anon comments are always open if you’re more comfortable with anon!
>>7405307>still no nameI wonder why.
>>7405313I think it's junkven
I need to smite my cock to ohnice's shota art her style is so fucking good it drives me nuts IF YOU SEE THIS I FUCKING LOVE YOUR ART
that nigger's a pedo
>>7405397I’m sure it’s another one of the pedos giving that compliment anyway
>>7405321Ah, thanks, it is that dude. I couldn't find him, because I assumed he'd have an active streak.
>>7405394Ohnice is one of the best artists on this site because she doesn't censor her art for the assholes in this thread. Genuinely a site full of absolute assholes who think they are important and there's like three people that are good and five who's art I follow.
>>7405476No one cares, kill yourself
>>7405411I respect your resilience and preservation, managing to allocate 30 minutes out of the daily 10 hour /ic/ scrolling session in order to keep your daily streak is something to be proud of
>>7405518<3
>>7404988I personally hate the idea of trying to gain followers and sucking up to all the mindless Twitter freaks, or just people in general, I wouldn't want the big number. But I can understand a lot of artists are trying to make money, so it's important for them to do that. Your new outlook is good, and I feel that too, a lot of my drawings are shite and unfinished, stuff that I'd feel embarrassed if anyone saw, but I'm still happy I'm drawing and improovin.>>7405178Thanks for the advice, I'm like the nega-wad, I don't take any public transport and walk/drive everywhere, but having a sketchbook to draw while I'm doing nothing laying in bed sounds like it'd make me feel more fulfilled!>>7404980Thanks! Also you're me, that's what I was doing before it started eating at me enough to make me want to iron it out of my system. Good luck to you too anon!
hey guys. just wanted to soften your worries and let you know that I did in fact draw today. and, as a matter of course, I wholly intend to draw tomorrow as well. just as I had also drawn the day before. take care.
can I please have some sex
>>7405714you a gay?
>>7405717>gayguy*
>>7405476zerocalcarers will not stop glazing each other
ohnice is a trooper and a fighter and fuck you if you hater zer/zim!!
>>7405776As opposed to you who writes your own name in the thread so someone will talk about you """"organically""""
>>7402495lmao good luck, all my photos are from different countries
>>7405717I'm a straight male looking to turn a dad into a mom
I start crying everytime I draw I think I need meds
>>7406125why are you crying exactly?
>>7406125meds to make you sterile? good idea
is the discord helpful with art crit?
>>7406333yes but you have to post your cock and balls with a timestamp first to receive it
>>7406340if you don't know, it's ok anon. i was just wondering
>>7406359glad I could help, anon
>>7406333They put in more effort than d/ic/s, but it can be a bit slower as well. Give it a try.
>>7406125>dumbasses be taking 20+ meds instead of fixing their sleep schedule, diet and exercise lmao. If you want meds to fix your mood take d3 and a prebiotic, cheaper too. Also runnings free
>>7406533>implying their sleep schedule, diet and exercise is shitYou're projecting.
yesterday: drewtoday: drewtomorrow: gonna draw
I have a thumping headache but I must do another hour before bed
it was two years ago move on
>>7406841the tier tourney?
Every time I FUCK I feel guilty because I could be drawing.Sigh... ngmi.
>>7407306make incremental improvements and you'll be fine
i did it you guys... i drew 1000 figgies this year!
>>7407306>unironically losing his virginitycringe!
>>7407306Just draw mentally at the same time>note what the hands are up to in each pose>note which muscles are taking the strain>note which leg the weight is onIt also helps you last longer because youre mentally distanced
>>7407414Did you improve?
>>7407414Can you draw my balls next?
>>7407476maybe like a little bit, I should have done more studies between figure drawing sessions or maybe experimented with different mediums. but it was fun drawing with a live model again>>7407481post em brother
>>7407498>a little bit,>after 1000 figuresThanks for being honest. I was tempted to do the same challenge as you, but I think I'll skip this one.
>>7407746Getting just 1% improvement at Ray's level is still a big win.
>>7407750NTA but what "level" are you talking about exactly? If I spent the whole year drawing and only improved "a little bit" I would consider the year wasted no matter what my skill level is.
>>7407753If you know you know. You don't, that's fine.
>>7407753it would not make you improve only "a little bit", but that depends on your skill level and if you understand how to study effectively

Im also exausted, so Im not going to work on any of my actual projects right now.Any open ended drawing suggestions please? Quiiiick!

some dads are too big time for us please understand
hey
teachers
riddle me this:
homies...
i think i need a new hobby.. i have no fun drawing and cannot bring myself to learn anything new at this point. honestly, i hardly do anything else than rot away and lay in bed all day, too stupid for programming, media and games have become stale, and talking to others is just anxiety inducing.but i think at this point, me detaching from reality is a more joyful experience than attempting to draw sadly.. i thought i wouldve been different, but im simply not.my goals for 2025, even if stated different in my challenge post, is to hopefully find some joy in life and be able to nuke that account.
>>7410107Seeing daddies nuke themselves brings so many tears to my eyes you have no idea but I want to give you an idea. Hopefully 2025 is the year nanna pulls the plug out into his asshole.
>>7410107>honestly, i hardly do anything else than rot away and lay in bed all day, too stupid for programming, media and games have become stale, and talking to others is just anxiety inducing.dog you are clinically depressed
>>7410107You don't have to be intelligent to program it is quite literally copy and pasting preexisting code until you understand what it does. Even a baby can do it!
>>7410118pyp(post your program)
