>>7750465If the lighting of my scene is coming from a heat-based source (candlelights, bonfires, lava, heated up metals I guess?, etc.), do I sample the colors closer to the hottest and brightest regions like the center of the flame, or should I be sampling more from the cooler edges? Looking for the most consistent methodology here

>>7750621Average it out. Smaller details contribute less. Use Gaussian blur on the copy of the layer if in doubt and boost it a bit to compensate for clamped dynamic range.

I hope this is the right place to ask, how do I start accepting requests? I've uploaded for a while to pixiv and a handful of people asked me for commissions. I do want to stay as anonymous as possible, like could transactions on my main bank account lead to problems, where do I upload uncensored works, what should I charge etc., looks like I could do pixiv requests or create a skeb-account for example. Basically, is there a guide on that topic for someone starting out?

>>7750465Does anyone have that japanese? twitter? pic that says something like "the act of drawing is a penance"?
I have reach the "Master Studies" section at the proko course. But I have no idea who I should study. Does /ic/ have a list of good master to study? Or maybe how I do even find Masters to study? I'm not sure if I should go on gelbooru and pick my favorite artists to study.
Ok so i am completely lost.I keep doing DAB but... what do i do aside from it?Search one of those "draw a eye" or some shit youtube videos? It feels like anything else like proko is far beyond me, i mean this is the shit he wants you to do on his basics course!
>>7750596i'm guessing it's the gum eraser, but i want to be 110% sure before I spent money on it.
Dedicating all my freetime to drawing, from here on outAside from filling 10 pages back and front with freehand circles and ovals, what should I be practicing daily? I'm following brent eviston's course btw
Trying to find this short I only ever saw a clip of. I'm sure I saw it on the Animation Obsessive twitter but there's just so much media to scroll through. It had a mermaid get caught by a crane and then fell to her death, the next part was pic-related where a bunch of men melded together show up, one of which stepped out from the group and took a photo of the mermaids corpse. It was probably euro, either russian, czech, something of that sort.
I'm confused about the usage of shapes and forms. Why is it called shape design and not form design? Why do people recommend to build up a drawing using shapes? Shouldn't you be drawing everything with 3D in mind in the first place and to look like a 3D form and not 2D shape, because it would make a drawing look flat otherwise?
Where do you get talent.
>>7751821Because good 2D art is built up of complex 2D shapes with their own logic and language. 3D isn't even close to the pinnacle or even what's enough to have good 2D art, otherwise just tracing photos or blender models would produce good looking art. Simply following basic 3D principles isn't enough and produces cheap looking art. Any developed 2D art style has its own way to convey space via its shapes, designing the shapes is the hard part.
Should i buy a ruler?
