what do i do if i literally cannot draw lineart on a tablet? my hand is too shaky to do straight lines but with stabilizers it slows me down. does anyone have any good video tutorials/advice on what should be the most basic thing? my lines are fine traditionally.

How the fuck do I shade? I genuinely have no idea.
>>7942808You seem to have a decent idea
>>7942808The thing you need to learn is called "edges".There are, generally, 3 main types of edges.>Sharp edge>Soft edge>Some Shit Between edge>Sharp edgeThink of the sides of a cube. Each time you change from one face to another, that part is going to be likely "cell shaded". Makes it look pointy, no?>Soft edgeThink of the surface of a sphere. It's all going to be round in how you shade it, blended basically. Maybe airbrushed.>Some Shit Between edgeAdjust accordingly. Sometimes you'll have a rounded edge between two flat planes, or someone poking into a breast. Some surfaces have several.There are also cast shadows. Those are sharper the closer you are to the thing that's blocking the light source.I am 13% Full of Shit though, so I may not be able to practice what I preach. I could ruin your lineart if you want in an attempt to try and illustrate what I mean? The fastest way to do so is to fill your canvas with the shade color and use the eraser tool to chip away where the light hits your subject.
>>7942815> I could ruin your lineart if you want in an attempt to try and illustrate what I meanBy all means, go ahead.> The fastest way to do so is to fill your canvas with the shade color and use the eraser tool to chip away where the light hits your subjectI'll give this a try on my end in the meanwhile. I'll report back soon.
>>7942668shading is so fucking hard, i think i need to do everything on greyscales before i dare start coloring.

Hi all, wanted to check if anything needed to be corrected anatomically before continuing. Would appreciate any feedback, thank you.
>>7942837No no, you have a point. Maybe not with the face but with the rest of the body and and the dress. Thank you.
>>7942854arms look too long legs look too short
>>7942868>elbows too pointyGet help.
>>7942854No major anatomy problems that I can see. The only two major things I did were give her a smaller waist, which is up to preference, and raise her hip to her right (our left) since that's the leg that's bearing pretty much all of the weight.

>>7942878
Been a while since I posted something here.Have not particularly improved, do not half ass your efforts.Was mostly a irl person/skin rendering and copying exercise, stopped after I noticed some proportions were off and it felt like polishing a thingy while making myself younger subconsciously(my face is not that firm, wew) lel.Also trying to figure out how to animfy this mug...Good luck friends.
I can't do this anymore, its too embarrassing. I think I've forgotten how to render and my colors are way too off. Proportions are fucked too, doesn't even evoke anything close to the originals emotion.Is there a way to train my colorpicking? I don't want to start doing still lives but I will if I have too.>>7942830Soulless. AI shittifies anything it touches. Learn to draw like a real man >>7942878based gwen stacy enjoyer

>>7942668How do I improve how it looks? from my untrained eye, I see nothing wrong, but I'm aware something must be wrong. I drew this with minimal references and just winging it as I went along. Its a little plainbut thats only because I wanted an idea on what to do to improve.
>>7942890>>>/hr/5215418Here you go, I didn't do her justice.
>>7942907idk, just did what came naturally. I had to redraw the hip which meant redrawing the underwear.
>>7942912We'd need more information to really give you any direction. What style are you going for here? Cartoonish? Any artists you're trying to go for specifically?
Decided to finish it>>7942912It seems kinda blurry? The shoulder on our right is too high maybe too making the head kinda off kilter

>>7942945I'll check it out, ty :>
>>7942926Not really any artist in mind, just drawing until i think its right. but if I were to say, Maybe a bit scott pilgrim-ish. I'm just getting an idea of what I should focus on to improve my art. >>7942927thats because I used a pencil brush. but yeah im starting to notice the anatomy errors. e.g the upper fore arms are way too long. and also bad perspective.
>>7942927Oh, yikes. That is not how fire is supposed to look, surely you can do better if you applied yourself. In any case, omg that is a cute Tsukihi
>>7942886Drawing, like any skill, requires dopamine to be released while doing it in order to reliably reach competency. This allows you to enter the flow state far easier and spend hours without realizing it. Hours which are necessary to achieve competency. Rote repetition.Without this, you will never get good at any skill. Thus, if someone desires to produce artwork but they do not get dopamine (or enter flow states) while drawing, the only viable solution is to search for avenues in which achieving dopamine release and flow states are possible while progressing with said goal.If the goal is:>I want to learn to drawThen there's nothing you can do.But if it's something like:>I want to have artwork for my gameor>I want concept designs for a cover for a bookThis opens you up to other possibilities when drawing isn't viable, as it is not for me (I don't enjoy the act of drawing or mark-making).Of course, I'm not saying AI is the best route, it's simply ONE route for producing artwork. There's painting, 3D, sculpting, and other artforms that also exist. AI is simply the easiest to produce output--which is also why it's the least valuable. It's also the most technical when you want it to be. You can choose to produce slop or you can choose to learn all the technicals that go into actually producing an output. It's up to the person to decide if they want to produce slop or actually work a single output to perfection.Like I said before, I probably won't even get into AI art.It's just one of many routes I can take IF I choose to get back into it.My point is that the physical act of making marks on the page is simply not for me.But if I still have a reason to produce something, I'm doing myself a disservice by forcing myself to do a skill in which I hate doing and find no enjoyment in. That's the crux.And, in fact, that's the advice of /ic/.>if you don't like drawing, then you shouldn't do itWhy would there be a problem in taking their advice?
>>7942945YOTSUGI RUN
>>7942954this is like 50% solid as fuck advice and also 50% total bullshit just because it makes me upset lolBut real talk, I think you can go a long ways if you're doing it purely because>I want to learn to drawis such a flexible goal, you are more prone to changing your goal when you get bored. It can backfire though, I'd think, which is how you get really good artists starting to deteriorate after a point, since what appeals to them is changing due to them not having a solid goal. Flexibility is key, but I can only speak from the perspective of a fucking mentally broken NEET who spends 90% of his time drawing and nothing else. (sometimes for pocket change)Truest to your advice is the last few lines. Being downright addicted to drawing will help drag you through your roughest patches. Because that's all they are; rough patches.
what a schizo post
>>7942948All them animators were pervs.
>>7942954just draw dude
>>7942948Ex disney artists have said Disney supposedly has a collection of porn the workers have drawn of the characters because it's technically disney property if they drew it while working there.
>>7942965“Just draw” is why I’m a permabeg.
>>7942969hmm nah it's probably because you are schizophrenic.
>>7942959Are goals really necessary when you love the act itself though?When it came to writing, I never had to force myself to create a goal, I just did it because it was fun, even if I wrote absolutely nothing of meaning. I didn't have use "discipline" or whatever to make myself do it.I think the goal of anyone who tries to pursue art is to choose the medium in which they find themselves drawn to rather than the "correct" approach. That's why being open to AI art is helpful. It doesn't mean that is what you will do, it simply proves to yourself that you're not forcing a paradigm based off of preconceptions that YOU didn't even come up with yourself.For all I know, I might become a fucking trad sculptor, I don't know. Maybe I find that the act of doing so actually releases dopamine and gives me satisfaction compared to putting lines on a page. But restricting myself to JUST drawing was likely the reason I never made much progress considering the other forms of art that exist.>>7942965>>7942969This works if you actually enjoy the physical act of drawing, just like "just write" actually works if you enjoy writing.When you don't, no amount of forcing yourself will get you to produce good artwork.Good artwork is never produced by people forcing themselves to draw when they hate doing it.Plus talent does exist but I wouldn't say this is a massive advantage. Just makes things easier in the beginning.

>>7943024Based to a hitherto unseen degree.
>>7942886Instead of drawing the hair as individual brush strands, first sketch the general shape as a block and then use a semi transparent chalk-like brush going light (in the middle) to dark (closer to the ends) to render the hair. Rendering the blonde hair may be easier if you make a large blob in a midtone, then lights, then add darks, only after the end adding individual strands. Add the darkest unbleached roots last. >colors are way too offGenuinely, because you are learning you should just use the eyedropper tool to compare the colors in the image to the ones you are picking. You are choosing tones that are way too bright and saturated compared to your reference, and not taking the light of the reference into account either. Why are you using a white background when the background of the original reference is a warm toned grey? Using the eyedropper on the ref will show you that the original color of the white eyes and teeth are not an exact #ffffff white, they are closer to the warm grey of the background. You are taking the colors out of their context. Train your color picking by literally color picking and it will become a lot easier.The yellow blonde of your artwork has a green undertone while your reference is a warm honey-blonde which would have more of a soft brown undertone. You recognize the warm undertone when you tried to depict the roots and the bangs, but you went to an entirely different part of the colorwheel for the strands.Try drawing and rendering entirely in greyscale to understand the values before going in with color. You use mostly flat colors and have little to no value in your artwork, while the value is easily the most striking part of your reference photo. After rendering in greyscale, apply color with a clipping layer. Stick to a very limited desaturated palette picked directly from your reference.

I tried doing a cute drawing for a change.
>>7943096Start from base 1. Line weight, forms, construction and perspective need to be your primary focus as of now. This is a very flat drawing, it’s quite unclear, and it just looks sloppy. I advise that you warm up with line weight exercises and Practice drawing from the shoulder annd not the wrist, which you are clearly doing here. Additionally study artists whose work and style that you enjoy and go from. Keep posting and good luck

Artwork to display skill rather than to tell a story or get an emotion across, both of which AI don't do--not because of AI itself but of the people mass producing the slop. All of the people who see drawing as JUST a skill rather than a medium in which convey something have all become obsolete. What I find interesting is that instead of evolving with the change, artists on here double down on their pompousness, calling people who spend hundreds of hours drawing "lazy" just because they lack talent. It's truly interesting to see the downfall of the mark-maker. Can't say they didn't bring it upon themselves.

>>7943203Years of experience tends to do that.Most people here have never done any other skill than drawing which limits their understanding.That's why it eludes them that people can't good at drawing after years and need to rush towards simplistic conclusions.The average artist is a simplistic creature, not an educated one.This is proven by the fact that drawing itself is rote repetition as opposed to amassing a large amount of knowledge.Just look at the person I replied to below. That's the average intelligence of the typical artist on /ic/. Nuance is a foreign language to the average artist on /ic/.>>7943225Nope.

That knowledge is useless for drawing itself but I can see it being quite useful directing AI art-agents.Essentially, I become an Art Director rather than sticking to the lower rungs of mark-making. I can see this as being feasible.>>7943262Another failure in reading comprehension.>difficulty =/= forcing yourselfCompetitive video games are "difficult." Good luck achieving any kind of success with just a few hundred hours when people play those for 6-12 hours a day.Just because something is difficult, doesn't automatically mean the person put in effort in order to improve at that skill. No one would ever consider playing a video game for hours a day as being "disciplined."The same applies to drawing.Artists are generally not disciplined.They got good at drawing by accident.It often came easily to them.This is precisely why people on here call others "lazy" or "retarded."If drawing was actually difficult, those responses would have no logical weight.
Regarding the last portion, if drawing was genuinely difficult, it would logically not follow that anyone who cannot achieve success is mentally incapacitated. That would make no sense. To say that would imply that drawing IS easy and IS simple to learn that doesn't require much effort. Thus, you imply:>drawing is SO easy that you have to literally be stupid/retarded/etc. to not improveBut you then contradict yourselves by implying the exact opposite.So is drawing difficult or is it not difficult?By your responses, you admit that drawing came so easily to you that anyone who couldn't improve simply had to be mentally ill or incapable of learning.Thus, drawing was easy for all of you, is your admission.>HL Note: Logical Trap has been laid; users will be unable to argue against this point without conceding to one of the proposed arguments.
>>7943341NTA but drawing is incredibly easy. Anybody can draw. Getting good at it is what’s difficult

>>7943410When I draw cubes I feel so much pain because i can't draw them well but when i draw gestures and figures its much more enjoyable.But I absolutely know that cubes are needed. What should I do? I also cannot draw ellipses well.

Why is one punch man regarded good?I "copied" it, to make a comparison of art, assuming it is the art that makes people like it. Assuming this is the case, then, what is it? More detail? more style? Why would mine by unpopular but the webcomic popular? I dont see what is better in the manga art- AND IF I DONT SEE BETTER, I BETTER LEARN HOW TO SEE WHAT IS BETTER INSTEAD OF SOULLESSLY TRYING TO RECREATE LESSONS!
>>7943410Nice work!>>7943414Probably just do a little bit of both? I don't know if you have the habit of doing construction after doing gesture, but that could be a good way to practice.
What do we think
>>7942882Pretty good man. I like it. Good work. I would say you didn't make yourself look younger, you actually made yourself look older.
>>7943442Its just a drawing :/
>>7943128I know you're skilled and talented but the current state of the sketch is damn near unreadable.>>7943335Pillow is a bit too blocky. Perpsective is a great start though. I think the more you work on it, the more you'll discover your weaker spots.>>7943414The more you suck at something, the more you should draw it I think. It'll be painful but worth it after a while.

>>7943445A drawing of WHAT
>>7943446Pyw
>>7943436>>7943436not terrible, did you lay guidelines down before drawing? did you use a reference? I like the character design and the pose is full of personality. her horns are good. sovl. her left arm is disconnected from the shoulder and floating off the body but your main issue is just a lack of knowing how the skeleton works undernearth

>>7943460I didn't use a reference... Im too lazy and over confident
>>7943520nothing wrong with trying that once in a while to try and hone your freehand skills but yes a reference would have helped you out a lot. as well as blocking out the pose beforehand. Try finding a reference and redrawing the piece, you'll notice improvement immediately

Anyone have any advice for an aphantasiafag trying to do freeform shape practiceim so bad at this i want to neck IM A NO TALENT IM NOTHING
Someone's got a full diaper.
>>7943576Can't you just start drawing and adjust?
>>7943585>Can't you just start drawing?It's implicitly understood I've already started drawing, and I am unhappy with the shitty shapes im producing
>>7943589And then draw different shapes
:o
:D

Knew it

I apologize for my earlier messages. I was overcome with . I will resolve to do better going forward.
fuck is wrong with you nigga. HUH!? BLANA
>>7943589Then change the lines. Once you have something on paper you should be able to fix it right? Or do you literally forget what a box looks like?
>>7943576I read on another board that aphantasia isn't real.
>>7943487Yeah I've been trying to figure out what the ideal brush would be for ages. You got any clues?
im starting to understand assholes better>>7943606impossible without REFERENCEwhat that image is missing is applying a glaze of reflect lights to make everything look right + you have done a neutral job on the face>>7943605>>7943494i hate you>>7943128i hate you + this brush doesnt serve you well>>7943472twisted ankle but i guess its too late for that now>>7943358kinda based, a SHITLOAD of empty space though like wow, compose it next time
>>7942690Based image anon, but people on here only draw big tittied girls
>>7943634Oh ok screw you too
>>7943446Yeah I agree, but I’m gonna try to give it more of a pillowy form as I go along. We’ll have to see. Thanks for the crit
>>7943634:/
Losing my mind over pen pressure. Do you guys change both your drawing program (CSP) settings and tablet (Wacom) settings to be the same or leave one of them alone?
Getting harder
>>7943646What the - I'm right now experimenting with the same thing, weird coincidenceI just go by feel to be honest, so a mix of both. I started out trad so I know what my "natural" pen pressure is, so I adjust the graph as best as I can so it feels the most natural
>>7943635My apologies, this is the actual thread challenge
>>7942886>>7943044>>7943325Took way too long on this, half the time was spent dicking around with a new brush. I tried to make the color choices more meaningful but I mostly winged it. Thank you for the advice though, it was very helpful. Would you say it looks better now?
just some silly drawings
>>7943031Damn this is great anon
>>7943677I hate you nigga
>>7943693I hate me too desu, what's your reason
hi ichow can I make a red-ish heart in the middle with a color that goes along with the rest ? thank you
>>7943659fixed a few areas, but it still doesn't exude the same emotion as the original. I think I messed up on the proportions in my underdrawing>>7943690fuuck your lines are making me hard>>7943698if I had an ounce of your skill...
in terms of perspective, all lines must converge at some point right? And that point of convergence is always the vanishing point? for the blocks in the back im having trouble trying to figure out how to do the rooftops, or if that should even be visible
silly bath drawingthe original pic was hot but this just looks silly
>>7943719and the original pic for referenceI fucked it up bigly
>>7943718Vertical convergence doesn't exist in 1 or 2 point perspective.Start with a horizon line. Everything below the horizon line will have its top plane visible.

This shit takes forever, maybe I should start tracing 3D models instead. How difficult is it to learn how to pose a model in blender?
>>7943677>the erectionlmao, kino>>7943693hey, leave my FRIEND alone>>7943730now youre thinking>How difficult is it to learn how to pose a model in blender?Not at all, in fact, you dont even need blenders, CSP comes with a model poser
>>7943731I'm on linux, so I don't know if I can run CSP, besides I've always wanted to learn blender so this may be a good chance to do it.
>>7943728Ahh okay that makes more sense. Thank you
Bros, I just got hit with a massive post clarity. I've been blasting video games and porn non stop for a month now and just completley stopped drawing. I had to sit in my filth for a minute and come to terms with the fact that I've got one life and I've GOT finish this comic, i really hope i can pull myself back to drawing all the time...stay safe out there guys.
>>7943740pyw now or you're destined to head back into the goon mines in a week
>>7943744I think that's the last thing I drew, pls don't send me back to the mines :(
>>7943747you're being sent to the draw mines instead, don't fuck it up.
did a sketch inspired by ww1 shock troops
i hate everyone in this thread who mogs me

>>7943758no this is me >>7943703
>>7943058Very nice, which paper are you using there?
Still a wip
>>7943770The drawings themselves aren't bad, but this is a very bad comic, i can't understand what's happening without a TON of effort
>>7943388>Only the bad ones are arrogantGranted.
>>7943631depends, i favour markers or soft brushes for rendering a lotor watercolor with special canvas
>>7943774It's meant to be read like a manga (right to left). Though without context it might still not make much sense.
>>7943783doesnt matter, the movement itslf is bad>first 2 panels, 180 spin>next 2 panels,a closeup that only makes it harder to see what he picked, also what a weird way to tap something>next 2 panel, some kind of turrent appears (?), a shot of a machine's arm?
>>7943770>what do you wish foresl? that phrasing makes it sound like a genie and not like a rail car or whatever
>>7943785>closeup that only makes it harder to see what he pickedAre you blind?>next 2 panel, some kind of turrent appears (?), a shot of a machine's arm?It's a docking clamp. Like picrel. There will be a wider shot on the following page showing what's going to the reader.
>>7943787He's not on a rail car. It's a space station for refueling and repairing spaceships. It's written like that simply because it's a customer service thing.
>>7943788im not blind you fucking retard but you're not drawing a riddle you're drawing a comic, it's supposed to read itself, thats how you get people to read your bullshitpeople are not even gonna give you 1/10 of the time I gave you. I had trouble reading your page, other people? they’re not even gonna read they’re gonna just close the tabWhy are you even drawing a comic when you're gonna have this attitude, just schizo-ramble your whole story into a .txt file, since you're so confident you don't even have to make it appealing to read.tldr read bakuman and humble yourself
>>7943793Lol

Is there no way to make CSP's "color wheel 2" show up as your default color wheel instead of having to go through the stupid color picker menu or whatever it's called?

>>7943446>>7943634Noted.>>7943755Cool sketch
>>7943635Ironic since the only delivery featured a big tittied anime girl

>>7943829heres ,my method :3after im done with 3 i decide if i want high lights or not
>>7943866>does it though?yes it doesvalue is the 2nd most important thing in drawing
>>7943871so, did it make a difference? To me it just seems like an alternative version isntead of an upgrade
>>7943770This goes hard
but we are only in page two, why make a new thread
>>7943733so far it's more fun than drawing
Time to draw
>>7943494Another draft
30 seconds for a figure sounds like nothing until you realise 10 figures takes 30 minutes
>>7943552not enough contrast, the values are too close together
>>7943472For rendering, starting from shadow mapping or shadow and light shapes will be the first obstacle for you. Although outside of rendering, your drawing has a lot of confusion going on around the hips. Make sure to draw your shapes through others to see how they can connect. It's not very clear what the other leg is doing or how it connects to her hip.Anyway, after you've established the main shadow and light shapes, you need to add a middle tone to round the form. Notice how there's some parts of the shadow shapes where I don't add midtone? That's mostly because it's a cast shadow rather than a form shadow. We can go into things like the penumbra of a cast shadow, but your better off giving form shadows the midtone and cast shadows kept as they are. Then you need to make the gradient where the midtone meets the terminator. That's edge control mostly. You can then keep adding on modelling factors 1 by 1. I finished off by adding some ambient occlusion. Defining areas in the shadow. With how light the value of her skin is, it's difficult to add highlights or do subtler modeling because the value range is so narrow. For now I'd stick to just getting the light and shadow shapes in place. Blending or adding more modeling factors won't help you much right now. I'd recommend a basics drawing course with a good focus on observation followed up by a course featuring things you'd like to draw (i.e. anime girls). Hope this helps.
Just draw what you love drawing.
/beg/ here, wat do?
>>7943935Is that a self portrait.
>>7943935Kill yourself.
>>7943024thanks for the reference. Couldn't figure out how to do the shadows without dirtying up the image. Not satisfied with her hands, but at least its easier than rendering.>>7943935if thats you, dm me
>>7943935For /begs/ make the proportion sex typing until mixing it uo. Hand is feminine, Nail not well drawn. The thighs is skinny, suggesting feminine or young male. Penis is masculine. Just decide on one gender until draftsmanship is fixed.

>>7943928It does help. A lot. And yeah the main troubles that I feel like I have do seem to be rooted in the basics. I'm stubborn though, so hopefully I can make this work somehow. I do feel like I'm making some progress in learning with this piece.Anyway, thank you very much!
troll post got more you than real posts. This place is terrible.
>>7943960People like you make me sick. Always complaining, never actually putting in the effort to make the change you want to see.
>>7943960if you want help just ask for it? posting a picture means nothing, we see it and move on. Posting a picture + asking for help might net you more (you)s if that's what you want
Struggling with the hands and head again.
I have no accuracy at all and I have no talent.I cant even plagiarize right.Is it over if you have no talent for even copying? Nobody who tried to get into drawing and wasnt able to at least copy made it.I want to cry.

>>7944060This and doing shadows are the greatest way to draw imo, volume by volume mass by mass. Too complex though, requires complete understanding of the thing you are drawing and being able to rotate volumes at will.
