This >>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
>>
>>7395043
woman 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.

Try 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

OK, 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.

>>7400290
addiction 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).
>>
>>7400290
I 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.
>>
>>7400298
I see what you mean, Thank you a lot anon
>>
>>7400307
All 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
>>
>>7400310
well 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.
>>
>>7400290
NTA 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!
>>
>>7400290
I 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 ;(
>>
>>7400290
There'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 it
But if you like this style keep going there's nothing wrong with it
>>
>>7400290
Top right looking fucked up. Consider using reference for buff bodies next time.
>>
>>7400328
Thank 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

>>7400338
Thank 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

>>7400425
Thank 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)

>>7400619
Do 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”

I 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.

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

Thank 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

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.

Well 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 level
that'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 wip
well 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
>socks
stockings/pants, you get the idea
>>
>>7401972
I 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.

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.

i 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

computer issue. lost the progress for this particular sprite and had to make some compromises
resize, 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 recovery
all i know is pain. i'm lucky i didnt have that much progress on the other one i lost

Good. 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.

Have 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.

>excuse making
yeah

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
>>
>>7404776
I feel you, just make yourself do more, set a timer and don't stop drawing.
>>7404860
I 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.
>>
>>7404970
good 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-
>>
>>7404970
Well, I got up to 2 hours tonight and felt ok about it
I 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 etc
I'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
>>
>>7404970
First 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.

I 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.
>>7405178
Thanks 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!

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.
