>>8049299Gave up, I'm done. 10pgs in the span of 3 days(6 done today). Of course, this was only possible because they were scribbles, I don't have the skill or patience to elevate them any further.I don't think I improved at all doing this, but the speed of my output was baffling. I think the easiest way to elevate my skill is drawing from imagination, which I've been trying to do for the last month with no success. The only panels that were remotely readable were the referenceslop and even they were ass. Oh and hair, I still can't figure it out.Regarding the panels, I just did whatever I thought was neat. I especially liked brainstorming the ferris wheel one and the death scenes.Story wise, it was probably too ambitious. The original premise was a groundhog day with the protagonist surviving 2 yanderes (one physically abusive/spiritual and the other socially+psychologically/real). The protagonist would have learned to survive the multiple forms of the ghost, tame her kinda, become stronger mentally, while slowly discovering the web his girlfriend has placed him in(social isolation, dependence etc)Execution wise, it was terrible. I'm just no good at dialogue, and fitting it into these little ass panels was so annoying. Obviously the art was dogshit, and there were no supporting characters.It was fun and I loved brainstorming, but I'll have to come back to making comics when I git gud. Back to grinding figs.>>8049339its fun, you should try it

>>8049352He felt that simply copying reality was uncreative so he wanted to paint in abstract.I don't get the hate for Picasso, he was someone who went out of his way to paint what he wanted instead of conforming to standards held during his time. It's not his fault people wanted to money launder his paintings after his death.

>>8049285lol I love the style of that book
>>8049285
>>8049339Same, but even 20 pages story is hard task
>>8049190To keep it simple, consider the viewerโs eye level as the horizon line. In the case of photography, the viewer is essentially the camera. So honestly, you have some leeway when considering where the horizon line is. Why? Because since the figure is organic, you can move things around a bit and theyโre still going to read fine. As a rule of thumb, most of those reference packs are shot around sternum height, so the horizon line will probably be somewhere around that area.>>8049194Damn dude, that hand page is really good! Youโve been progressing steadily and learning from your previous posts. Great job, keep going. As for the story, donโt worry about it being juvenile or cringe. Most stories are like that. Just keep writing, focus on your promises and payoffs, and youโll be good. Sandersonโs lectures are really good for that.
Pretty happy with how this came out. Using a paper texture makes digital feel a bit nicer.

what the hell is a master study anyway? is it just straight up copying? and will it improve my drawings?
>>8049385Which program do you use? How do I add texture to Krita easily?
>>8049570Nevermind, the option was hidden behind the Layer menu. When you click Add new fill layer, you get the option for a pattern.
Warm up
>>8049567yeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DbIG9jmjI4
>>8049567In theory it should, because your brain recognizes what it has to do to produce a result similar to the artist you're copying.
>>8049402be aware of gravity and motion while drawing
>>8049570I use krita as well, but I just add images as a new layer and mess with the opacity lol
>>8049320if you jerk inbetween studies, you domesticate your brain towards enjoying drawing. like giving a dog treats. try it out

>>8049346>painting he made at age 15false equivalency. he started drawing before he could talk and was admitted to a fine arts school at 13 whoch means this painting is after two years of extreme drilling. if anyone here would draw daily and tirelessley for two years, they'd be on a similar level. lazy bum.

Do you rike?
>>8049675ะes
>>8049675Cool, is she an alien
>>8049236Cool work, anon. The texture is really nice, I like it, some observations-You can use longer hair to avoid the negative shapes around the traps and armor.-The arms look like baby arms, too short.-The face looks a little too wide. If you narrow her left side, I think it reads as cuter and creates the overlap where the eye meets the nose ridge.-While itโs probably not anatomically accurate, I think the overlap under the chin can help create a more solid looking neck.Keep in mind that the eye doesn't foreshorten that much. What you're seeing is the overlap of the nose and eye.Not a fix, but rather a way to convey what Iโm talking about. Great job, keep going!
>>8049691THIS is a good critique.
I feel like the only things holding AI back anymore are the inconsistency/inability to remember details between gens and compositions lacking proper meaning.

>>8049285why the head so big, it would be kino otherwise
>>8049751Your figures are already mogging me...
I like how this page turned out
The hardest part for me is remembering to draw the biggest shapes first. But when I do that things turn out much better. Is that stupid?
>>8049441lazy
>>8049781Nice tits.
>>8049780No it makes sense. Just turn it into a habit
>>8049779what pencil? i really like the lines on the bottom right figure with glasses
Making a little progress. Was almost bang on for the proportions for the one on the right until I messed up the jaw at the very end, basically because I was incorrect about the degree of convergence for the vertical lines.Left one again was going really good up until the size of the jaw, again I think basically due to perspective issues. Iโm always chronically overestimating or underestimating how fast lines should converge and how much of an effect perspective should actually have in a given situation. Really hard to hit it right on the money. I have some ideas to implement for next time though to try and prevent the same mistakes from happening again.I do feel like I learned something this time. Gonna keep doing angles from above for a while before I tackle angles from below again.
>>8049776I just fucked up the proportions and cba to fix it bc the bath was ready
>>8049781breast!>>8049441ree

>>8049790Forgot the pic
>>8049594Thank you! It's always crazy to me how three dimensional the stuff you make looks. Sucks that I had been drawing for so long before seeing this, but I'll make it work. I'm saving this and making adjustments in a bit. Thank you so much!>>8049691Holy moly yes, this is all great advice and you improved it a shitload, especially with the eye and the neck. Also saving and referencing it in a bit. Thank you!!!>>8049750I like it! Especially the handle between the boobs. Might do that myself if you don't mind. Thanks!>>8049680Wow, it's always cool to see it when other people reiterate on my work. Brings a sort of fresh perspective that I feel like is important. Thanks!

>>8049181Made good progress on my Possum piece, thoughts and crits so far?
>>8049890this is great
Trying out some brushes. Theres something crucial I'm missing figures. I can picture poses perfectly in my head, but the instant I try to portray it, it crumbles. I don't even think my copies are helping, I'm just haphazardly replicating them. I'm even sticking to just the ribcage and pelvis. I think its rectangles, I just can't fucking draw them. I can't even copy 2d properly, kept making the waist too long and then lassoed it right at the end; it lost all of its appeal and doesn't have a fraction of the eroticism of the original. >>8049380Thank you, I'll try doing them again when I start thinking in 3d.>>8049890Its called appeal, just embrace it
>>8049931saw some mistakes right after posting, should be better now. This new brush might not be the best for lineart, but it feels really good when using it. Decisions decisions...
notice me u stupid nazi bastard

>>8049938vry nice drawing desu
>>8049932be advised
I liked how the feet turned out.
>>8049944[:<
Been drawing for few years now and still feel beginner, any advice on what to do to improve?
>>8049954nice
>>8049954i think the underlying drawing is passable but your finish is just bad, that leads me to suspect you traced this or referenced the pose exactly?Theres something wrong with every place i look, like the weird outline around the extremely choppy speech bubbles... the childish way you draw grass, the ugly color you used to seperate the muscles, the lazy black lines which are supposed to be sweat clouds i assume
Sketch, not sure if the face and bottom half look right.
>>8049957Ye, I've had issues with rendering and backgrounds. The pose was a imagine draw, and I tend to draw out the start well but slowly fall and get narrow-sighted at the end like pic. I've been working on coloring, but do need to work on clean up and rendering. I have another pic I've drew few months back, but would appreciate more insight on what to improve.
>>8049956Thanks :)
>>8049991dude honestly search HOW TO RENDER On youtube because it looks like youre literally on step 0, your drawings massively outpace your colors, what do your sketches look like?
>>8050006Ye, I usually do more line draws then anything lol. I'll work more on coloring and if you have any tutorials you'd recommend I'd be happy to check and learn. My sketches usually are pretty rough. Here's a guilty sketch i drew for the event a while ago, didn't get to work on lines to fix anatomy but am still adding to it. I do have a more recent drawing, but is still wip.
>>8050015your sketches arent actually rough at all if anything they lack information on shading etc, i think youre terminally linebrainedhttps://youtu.be/iwRa5qTnr8ohttps://youtu.be/9QEGEBK6nIYhttps://youtu.be/-Nt9fa8jZUEhttps://youtu.be/DQ5QF0q4QqQ
from now on the stabilizer is my best friendI dont think i was stupid for not using it its more like i couldnt handle its power before
Last time I made the torso too long, this time too short. Figs looked extra dogshit today. Purple and orange are very hard to see, switching back to gray.>>8049945thanks?>>8050022appeal loss...
>>8049975head too big and closer eye is on wrong angle. Neck and trapezius are wrong. Bottom leg ellpise is wrong side, it face our side.
>>8050024bro what appeal i could hardly look at the pre-stabilizer shit, this ends NOWAlso you're too focused on the sketch when the lines and rendering is what makes the refs youre copying work. The pelvis and torso boxes method dont work because you have to memorize perfectly what the angles are for every pose you want, it's non-intuitive
>>8050024Who is that artist, I really like sticks with tits
>>8050026> pelvis and torso boxes>you have to memorize perfectly what the angles are for every pose you wantdoesn't makes sense
>>8050032it does, how will you know that the pelvis and boxes you are drawing are right for the pose you have in mind? Its impossible to know without reference, you have to memorize it.
>>8050025>neck and trapezius are wrongI believe you but not sure how to fix them
>>8050030UnBaLanCE. The men are all ugly bastards though.>>8050026I just think its more visually interesting, I've always found your sketches way more appealing and engaging than your smoothed out-2d lineart. Also what do you mean? All it takes is intuition and visualization for the poses, I'm just too ass to make use of them properly
>>8050033sounds mega alien but maybe you see stuff differently
2027 will be the year of escaping the pit of mediocrity.
>>8050036you cant expect something to change when you dont change anythingHow do you expect your drawing to change when you dont change how you make them?
>>8050043How else am I going to learn how to draw from imagination? I've used other methods for drawing stuff, but they really only work when looking at a reference. Construction is the only fucking way I'll ever hope to draw from imagination, what I'm doing is training for it. It might take like 2 more months of brute force, so I'm just going full steam ahead now instead of later
>>8050020>linebrainedI'm not too sure on what that means, but I appreciate the insight. I tend to draw for myself, and really needed a kick in the butt to improve lately. I'll be using the vids you linked and will try to improve on it for the next few months. As for the sketching, I'll try and look for an artist i like to learn from, and see how they sketch and ask how they draw process wise.
>>8050048>I've used other methods for drawing stuffwhat other methods?
>>8050050Like laying guidelines out and cutting out of big shapes ig. Thats all more for 2d and copying whats already there though. Ive been trying to make 3d shapes, but its very difficult to do; I can't even draw cubes properly

>>8049770cool, have this (You)>>8049762Looks good on first glance. Looking closer at the edge of the blade and hilt though it gets kinda odd. I feel like the hilt and handle need to rotate a bit in perspective so the blade comes out in parallel with the hilt.
>>8050112It rhymes, that means it must be true! That is true, and it is unfortunately true, everyone needs money. We are born to draw! But made to be wage slave! No more! I tell you! One day I will carry everyone! Vengeance of God behind me, I will come swinging or die trying! HAHAHAHA

>>8050158Brazil
>>8049236I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve in the chest area, but you have to make a choice between big breasts or defined pecs. Large breasts pull and lift skin away from muscle, so you will lose the "vacuum-packed" look.
>>8050171why do you people always draw ugly women? I don't get it, do you guys get off drawing ugly?
I hate how i never actually draw stuff good on purpose, i just throw shit at a wall until it sticks and when it doesn't i cry>>8050181I think the ogre woman he drew looks cute, well drawn too
>>8049932what brush did you end up using for this?
>>8050185Iโm not shitting on the drawing, just the idea of it, why draw pork chops girls? And if it is by design, I get it, ugly core, but thereโs this reservation of trying to make it pretty at the same time. You know what I mean? If you go ugly core, go for it, make it fully ugly, just not this half fuck shit.
>>8050191nigga mad he cant jerk off to it
hello fellahs. how do you think the shading was done here on the ref. what brush, what order of actions. I'm seeing both hard and soft edges here, in some parts the changes in color are soft, in other it's abrupt. did the artist use an opacity pressure brush, or paint a darker tone on top of a lighter one gradually, or maybe some sort of a blending brush. maybe he used multiple brushes? that'd be awful for me. anyways what's the process here
>>8050171holy fuck blog
>>8050181GoldenSmurf wannabes
>>8050211just a multiply layer with dark red color for the shadows, i would just put down the big shadow shapes first (like the left leg) then carve out some details by erasing (like the right leg) I used a round brush with opacity for both coloring and erasing and the originial artist likely did too. For the highlights its justa normal layer with a brighter colori rushed mine but with a bit more time you can make the shapes look better
>>8050227the strokes lay on top of each other awkwardly when I paint with an opacity pressure brush and take my pen off the tablet. did you use lasso or any other tools? to prevent your strokes from spilling onto neighbouring shapes (dunno how to phrase it better). ur hiding something from me...
>>8050258i did most of the bigger shadow shapes in one stroke, you can use lasso too if you wantyou can also just fix it afterwards by maybe using smudge and smudging the smaller spillingsI still believe the original artist did it that way too.Red = there is a small darker shadow spot on the shirt, likely caused by brushing over twiceBlue = Here the darker shadow under his chest probably was the 2nd brushover
>>8050267>i did most of the bigger shadow shapes in one strokeso you gotta be mr. perfect to do this??? anyways thanks for the help anon I appreciate it
>>8050271well my shadows were kinda sloppy due to that, but lasso tool like you suggested is a good idea too
>>8050271to add to that maybe Check out Rinotunas coloring course or his Vods he colors like this too
>>8050276yeah I've been directed to his vods before and I find his process incomprehensible. too overrendered for my tastes
>>8050163i share my work all the time here in this threadthat one came out good only because the design of the original was already established by the artist
Not happy with how it turned out, the sketch was nicer. How do I go from sketch to greyscale or color without having the sketch peeking out in such an ugly way? I feel they're necessary to help convey things but they just look so shit mixed into the other layers no matter what i do.
>>8050160Thanks! I think it added a lot.>>8050171I actually didn't even intend for those to be her pecs, but more so that section of skin and fat that leads up to the breasts. I ended up making the breasts themselves way too low though which did make them look just like pecs. I think I've somewhat remedied this last night. I'm also redrawing the shoulder piece because it was out of perspective. But yeah, what you said makes sense. I think you could probably get away with some indication of pecs if the breasts are saggy enough, sorta like you did there. Either way, thank you for pointing it out.
>>8050297I really dig the implied fur texture on her neck region, that's fire.
>>8050301no that's fur
>>8050158there's nothing to crit here. cool work though
WHY AM I DRAWING THINGS I DON;T WANT TO DRAW REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>8050310What do you want to draw?
>>8050320uuuhhhhhhh...
>>8050227>>8050267okay I actually managed to make it look like the ref. thanks again!
>>8050338She's cute and giddy, I hope he fucks her as good as she deserves it after making him all those meals every fucking day.
Slowly making progress and getting a little faster. Sometimes I hit it bang on and sometimes itโs still crap. Thereโs something funky going on whenever the head only has a SLIGHT turn to one side so I need to practice a few of those
>>8050319female figurebut I CaN'T FuCKinG Get Rid Of ANIMEE FroM MY MIND yes I wish I like to draw in anime style but Do I like to draw in that way? of course not I hate perfect like art and flat coloring
>>8050338nice job
>>8049184You're very good at shading your drawing, I wish I could do it the same way, I've never been very good with shadows.>>8049385I'd also like to draw my lines with more confidence. I've tried many times, but I always end up with crooked jagged lines.I come here from time to time, post a drawing I've done recently, and ask for advice or suggestions on areas I should focus on. It seems to be a good method so far to keep improving. Last time, I was told that my faces that aren't straight and facing forward weren't very good; I hope I've done better. I've also tried to improve my hair, but it's something I just can't seem to get right.Could someone give me some feedback, a rating, advice, or pointers on areas I should concentrate on?
Im fine with the top half but the bottom is messing with me and I can't tell why
>>8050361the last 3 drawings I've done
>>8050363mophead?
>>8050365Yup and Munroe
>>8050301Thank you. Yeah it's a bit hard to tell without color but their bodies are mostly covered in fur, save for the front part of their torsos, faces and a few other small areas. The idea is that they live in and around mountains so they need a little bit of fur to trap some of their body heat.
Love drawing faces, great way to calm down. Fucked around with the hair, think I overdid it with the brush.>>8050091I draw everyday, wouldn't exactly call them great. A great day would involve growth not stagnation.>>8050093It never comes out right when I try. I can do little things like cartoonish faces but never anything complex. My fundamentals are still not good enough.>>8050189This old korean brush I've been using for a while, I used a new one for the hand and (haphazardly)outlining some of the body>>8050361>>8050364You've got better figs than me, but your faces are holding you back. Maybe focus on portraits for a bit
>>8050361First of all you have artistic talent, so doing the grind will end up in excellent results for you. Just trust the process. I can tell you're in the "copying" phase, wich is necessary to develop your eye to hand coordination ability and muscle memory. Then you will have to commit to some construction method, or keep copying posing figures ad-nauseam, it's the only way to build that mental library you need. It is clear that in your drawings there's a "room/space restriction", drawing traditionally usually does that. The size restriction of the media (paper sheet) skews your drawing proportions in different ways, like in the taxi driver one, his body looks realistic, but his head looks almost cartoony, because you want to add a level of detail to his face that the size of the drawing doesn't quite allow you to do. So you over-compensate and you add more detail than necessary, and more detail requires "more size", so you unconsciously draw his head bigger, it sucks when your mind does that, without you even noticing it. That's why in art ateliers students draw in BIG sheets of paper, A3 size or bigger, so your mind doesn't have any excuses to translate proportion as you need to. The same benefit you get by drawing digitally, the infinite canvas is really good to fix that, you don't do a head or legs smaller, you just add more canvas.Just keep drawing no matter what, do at least a doodle every day in your little sketchbook and you'll get there for sure.
More of a psychological question rather than a skill related one, but how do I stop comparing myself to skilled professional artists and people on social media?I finish a drawing I'm kind proud of and consider a step in the right direction and then they suddenly upload 5 sketches done the exact same day that mogs the former entirely in terms of technique and stylization
>>8050294I like the look of underdrawings peeking through, but you can just paint over them with full opacity
>>8050411Thereโs really no other way to get rid of it than reducing your time scrolling through others tweets/ig/pinterest, so unfortunately it comes down to willpower
>>8050411that's the wrong mindsetyou should be comparing yourself, but in a more objective way: find concrete things to change to make your stuff betterfor example, I think that use of color is kinda weak, so I'd look at those artists and steal their approach
>>8050418?
>>8050426Used a ref, guess it never occurred to me it looks like a puss lmaooo changing it rn
>>8050387Her big ass eyes and fake lashes kept throwing me off icl
>>8050430Nah you're good, I'm just memeing, looks fine in context
>>8050423My right now it to perfectly draw similarly to @NoahDoesArt in terms of detailed hatching/lineart and technical skill.He's fast as shit when it comes to sketching in general and his art just intuitively looks 3d and organic compared to how flat and stiff mine looks no matter how much I try.I never studies fundamentals seriously and I'm only starting those days btw.
>>8050433I often do comparison pictures like this to study the gap in technical skill and mileage between me and his more clearly
>>8050387Thanks, Anon. I'll think about giving portraits a try. Before your other comment, I wasn't really sure what was holding me back from drawing faces.>>8050407This is easily the best comment and advice I've received. I really appreciate it, Anon. I'd never thought about paper size, and you're absolutely right. I use A4 paper, and my drawings are usually no larger than 4-5 inches. I was thinking about the other Anon's previous comment about starting with portraits, but I think maybe I should start with construction and digital drawing. I have a Galaxy Tab S10+ that I've never used for drawing, maybe a couple of times, but I didn't know what canvas size to use (you already answered that), and what brush I should use and its resolution in relation to the canvas. I mean, I don't want the lines to be too thin and low resolution, but also not so large that it uses up too much canvas size and RAM. I have Infinite Painter, and the Proko Pencil seems like the one I should use, but I'm not entirely comfortable with it.
>>8050297I wish I had talent.
>>8050387>This old korean brush I've been using for a whiledo you have a link to it by any chance?
>>8050433that's fine and all, but you still don't have the concrete thing to change about your art to make it betterwhat will you do differently on the next one
>>8050061i like urs more ....>>8050129real>>8050171tit>>8050434>>8050433your hatching is too thiccits the main thing that attracts me to his drawingsand urs is lacking that precise thing

>>8050540cute tit
>>8049820good job, but this is how I read it, there is no overlap or sense of depth. you need to work on this, it will help you improve a lot.>>8050592>>8050594draw bigger, do the gradient exercises >>8050602Its great that you're taking a liking to drawing. It's one of the cheapest skills to get into. Go to random events and ask for pens and notebooks, ask nicely for printer paper, and they'll probably give it to you. Pride gets in the way.>>8050641looks cool, like a new villain for the Reboot series.

>>8049339a request from pixiv so I had to put some effort and make a clean lineart
>>8050697I love you frenchie.>Pixiv requestsHow it is compared to Patreon and other options?
>>8050690HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>8050699Needs more sag, weight and that the bikini top remained the same size and is way more constrained but good work Raxav. Luv u.
>>8050700thanks but this edit is not from me
>>8050698Honestly, I only opened it because of the daily messages of people asking for free art, then the messages stopped after a while.Sometimes, once or twice a month, someone sends a request offering some bucks ($60~90), and if it's not too difficult, I accept.It's nice, the only downside is that it takes up to two months to receive the money through pixiv.
>>8050702sex>>8050703>60-90Not bad.>Two monthsDamn. At least it seems like it protects your privacy more than the others who full doxx you.
>>8050704Since it's a jap plataform they highly value privacy, and have some rules such as not bothering the artist with messages after sending the request (however, some people disregard this). There's a minimum request value too(I think around $45), and there's also the pixiv fee, which is around 10%, but it's very safe; there's no way for someone to scam you since the all the money stays with pixiv until you send the drawing to the person
I CANT DRAW
Which one fits better?
>>8050712The second one
>>8050641I wasn't at least
3/4 skulls done, skunk one last . Hoping I can finish tonight
>>8050612No way, we neither!
>>8050676How long does this take you? Best shading ever seen on /beg/.What's your secret, master?
>>8050742YOU ARENT PERMABEG
WHY WAS I AMDE FUCKING TALENTLESS. WHY MUST OTHERS IMPROVE EASILY AND NATURRALLY WHILE I REMAIN PERMABEG FUCKING DOGSHIT.
>>8050676Very nice shading
WHY FUCKING EVERYONE CAN DRAW BUT ME
>>8050744TrueFeels good knowing I'll get better at it
i am probably going to redraw this with more guide lines
doing another cockpit
>>8050585Story of my life
900 videos watched, 3,000 hours of drawing over six years. How can I learn to draw without talent?
>>8050820still looks boring somehow
>>8050853Put pen to paper instead of just watching grifters
>>8050431One more HEAD
>>8050853stop watching yt and draw
>>8050864shouldn't he watch tutorials to fucking know how to draw?
>>8050861>>8050864If it were that simple, I would have done it already. I don't know how.
>>8050878I would read this as a comic - if the story is good and its not 2 pages of messy "action".
think it might be done
>>8050873bro Iโm not really one of those ur ngmi types but if youโve watched 900 vids and spent 3000 hours drawing over six years and you canโt even envision how you would start drawing idk what to tell you>>8050867it doesnโt take 900 vids to figure it out dude
>>8050873What are you struggling with specifically? Any sketches or examples? Instead of tutorials that cater broadly to everyone, if we know where you are stuck, maybe more pointed advice could help you get past whatever roadblock you are stuck behind.
>>8050712yeah i agree the second one
>>8050881fair enough
i think im a permabeg because I don't study but also studying is really boring so i may just be a permabeg chud forever honestly
environmental sketch
>>8050884>What are you struggling with specifically?Everything, starting with the idea and the design.>Any sketches or examples?For the past two years, Iโve mostly been "drawing" lines, boxes, and cylinders.
Jesus christ this is the beginner threadI've got a long way to go
Need some crit
>>8050923>For the past two years, Iโve mostly been "drawing" lines, boxes, and cylinders.Why? Do you have a goal in mind with the boxes and cylinders? Or do you sort of view it like practicing the same punch 10000 times?I did draw a box, I liked it, but when I got to the box drawing part I drew like 3 boxes and moved on, I felt it would be a waste of time to grind boxes until I got perfect ones every time.
>>8050925There are some very talented anons here who reach int in barely 5 months like this anon >>8050297 and there are supermabegs who have been stuck in prebeg for years like >>8050471>>8050680>>8049975Being a beginner is just a measure of time and the only thing that matters is if you are talented or not.
>>8050942actually kill yourself jesus christ you crabs get really boring.
>>8050919
>>8050931I can't draw what I want to, so I draw boxes and cylinders. The goal is to force myself to draw every day and practice the so-called "fundamentals."
both hatkid and brazil dicksucker seem to be active right now, dont engage
>>8050668how long is this gonna go on?>>8050583amazing.
>>8050963You are engaging with practice in a very sheep like manner, drawing boxes and cylinders is not a task that yields endless improvement. What happened is that you learned how to draw a box and cylinder, now you can draw a box and a cylinder now, gj. So move on, and don't force yourself to draw the same thing over and over like that as if something will magically happen, it won't.What do you want to draw? How many times have you attempted to draw what you want to draw?Your goal isn't to one shot what you want to draw first attempt by mastering all the fundamentals.Your goal is to try to draw what you want, fail, look at the abomination, and try to figure out what's wrong, then try again. Any one attempt only has to look less worse than your past attempts, if it does, that's progress, and you've hopefully learned something.
>>8050061thank you peril (: cute girl
>>8050867many of these tutorials just reiterate the same points and many of them are just to get clicksthere's no one method that works for everyone either
>>8050867

Can't a guy just shut up and draw? Is that allowed?
>>8050989>>8050991then what do
>>8050728>>8050888Noted, thanks
>>8050952wip
Ok guys seriously I am fucking tired of boxes and torsos, i want to move one to greater stuff like details but i need to get this shit right first, seriously what the fuck am I doing wrong with them?How do you draw torsos and their boxes? i even highlighted it with ink
>>8050942my tits giggled
How to make it out of beg? I am not really sure why it looks beg and unlike the art that vtubers actually feature.https://files.catbox.moe/dwxzz4.jpg
>>8051050that's not how they look like
i really gotta stop messing up my sleep schedule it throws my whole drawing rhythm off
>>8051056i think they do look like little blobs
>>8051062they look anime guy number 34543 and 34544 and 24545
>>8051065that a problem?
>>8051068talking about their og designs
>>8051072their designs are therejust simplefied
>>8051023Just focus on drawing a lot of boxes in general, anatomy diagrams, mannequins, etc and itโll โclick.โ
>>8051077i think adding those weird lips is beyond just simplifying them since they are not meant to look soft for the most part, it's the chibi style that's simplified either way i am talking about their normal design
>>8051080but I drew a lot of them already, a lot lot of them LOTS
>>8051083Just keep drawing them. Thereโs always room for improvement and growth.
>>8051081theres no point in thishere have this bird with tits instead
>>8051088wouldnt that just be the practice trap? maybe that's why i am not improving much, i need to know what to improve and not just repeat repeat repeat
>>8051089I'll never get people who are like "here have a thing i drew to end the convo lol quirky!" but whatever
finished, last spam for today
>>8050942Thanks God talent is a thingSo it can gatekeep shitter like you
>>8051091I mean not necessarily. I think your problem is youโre too focused on perfecting individual drawings- focus on making lots and lots of drawings. Maybe begin a project or a piece that uses a lot of figures and use boxes to start those figures. Be creative
>>8051095Looks great anon but you should work on how to shade metallic texture.
>>8051103i have been doing this for a decent while that i am scared to even resume can you believe it?i wont stop but damn i feel unhappy in my skill level but oh well
>>8051023If you're tired of it then move onto something else and come back to it later, hopefully with a new perspective. Getting frustrated with something will only make you worse at drawing it. You're already good enough to make something that's nice to look at, so make sure you're maximizing your enjoyment and you'll naturally draw at the best of your ability.
>>8051108Well, I always wanted to draw crustaceans

>>8049441i was wondering why no one mentioned her adam's apple, then i googled and it turns out women do have it
>>8051112Post them. Talk about them. What do you think you have learned? Have you tried applying what you learned in original works?
>>8051023those boxes you drew imply that the torso and pelvis should be bending back, but the anatomy on top isn't following their direction. and the limbs don't recede in space and his right arm and leg are too longtldr: learn proportions
>>8051128recede in space?also yeah torsos are meant to be bent right? i guess i need to figure how to make the torso follow the box, thanks you

>>8051132it's a crude example, but limbs are cylinders and when the torse is turned like you have there, his right side recedes and left side comes closer, which informs which way to turn those cylinders

How often do you guys take breaks while drawing? Every hour? Two hours? I find myself getting a little tired after just one but I feel like that's too early for a break and it's just my short form rotten brain trying to seize control.
drew my pirate again after a long time. I memorized the accessoires wrong.
>>8051170very nice
>>8051170break after a hour is totally ok, just make sure its a 5-10 minute one. get off your table and do something else or walk around. does wonders
>>8051170>Not even 6 months to reach int>>8051171>6 years still prebegHow the fuck do you explain this? I want everyone itt to look at this shit and tell me that talent isnt real and we dont have the next Khyle or Simon amongst us.

>>8051335but you can masturbate don't you
When aproaching shading practice, should i do more drawings or should i make sure the drawings i make are of my best quality (with drawing i mean the whole shaded thing) because i take hours to finish simple anatomical parts.
>>8051407Yes...
I CANT DRAW FACES OR ANYTHING AT ALL
>>8051447Please teach how to draw faces.
how do you actually study perspective? man
>>8051450Draw a sphere for the skull and a quick paper-like structure for the face that wraps around the sphere and tapers down into a V shape for the chin.The top of the eyes is roughly the halfway point of the face, the bottom of the nose is the next halfway point following the mouth that sits between.Pick any rotation in this gif, trace once, remove trace and draw from reference, your goal should be 80% accuracy, place trace over drawn reference and make notes on were the proportions went wrong. Repeat process until satisfied, and move on to next head rotation.Hard mode: After drawing from reference, if you reach a satisfactory accuracy point, draw head angle from imagination.
>>8051341I aspire to be this based one day
>>8051455draw straighter vanishing lines
>>8051468is it best to draw them myself or do people normally use a ruler/line tool
Tried to render latex. The wrinkles/folds are the toughest part.>>8051475Use the tool. You can always practice making straight lines another time.
>>8051455You are better off using things in the picture to reference the angles instead of just free aiming them. Like you can get a good idea of the vanishing point if you take either the pictures in the wall or the table and see where they meet. The most important thing is to get the VP as acurrate as you can, you can use a ruler for sure.
>>8051455open a fuking book
>>8051499i didn't understand any of them>>8051486do you mean drawing the face of the table, and then ensuring the edges of it intersect on the vanishing point? tried to do that with the floor but you're right the floor's edges aren't really visible
>>8051516less blogging more drawing
>>8050942fuck you too faggot
>>8051441We need to draw more of them anon
>>8051516it kinda looks like youre drawing a prepubescent child
have i improved? i feel like i have but i don't know. re-sketched one of the only things i sketched from last year (spent about ~10 minutes on each)

>>8051625Holy btfo
I think I ought to fuck off and paint for a while
>>8051573I feel like you're doing too many things at the same time with this pose
>>8051678What does the cow do? What does the cow do? Cow does moooo!!
got too cocky, tried something new, once again i am humble
>>8051551Aaaa this is so good>>8051545Itโs a little bit better, but youโre still too early to be worried about how much youโre โimprovingโ. Just keep grinding and donโt worry about it. Not every individual figure will be an improvement.
>>8051597Amazing>>8050942Nice
quick one as i have little time
>>8051545yes, to me it's clearly better. The only contentious part being the calf/ankle/heel/foot, the new one has better curves but it makes less sense structurally.
How do you keep "just drawing" if your drawing always look shit to you?
>>8051629i think you lack in expressions. all your faces look the same with the same expression. but can you take criticism? is your ego too inflated? do i care enough to get mad?
>>8051531Im hard now
>>8051516>its goneso it really was a prepubescent child huhWell i thought it was kinda interesting, i never thought about what makes someone look super young aside from head to body ratio. I think it's the pulging abdominal coupled with zero chest mass, I did my own attempt but scared to post it to not get BTFO by jannies
>>8051023>>8051128should it be like this?
>>8051766Thanks for the response. That curve of the abdomen was the first line I drew, everything came out from that. It definitely made her look younger than I initially intended, but I decided not to go back and rework it since I was just testing and experimenting. I'm curious to see what your attempt looked like. I don't seem to have been banned, I guess it just got deleted. But maybe you can share it off-site somehow if nude figures are a problem. I didn't know, I assumed it was fine since it's just a nude figure drawing.
Is it better to draw a bunch of different things with wide variety, or stay on one subject?
>>8051797As with pretty much everything, it depends. If you don't have a specific thing you're working on right now, or you have been working on one thing and just need a break, then draw anything that piques your interest. If you have a specific goal that you're working towards, or you've identified a specific thing in your art that you need to work on, then focus on that (eg. you suck at drawing torsos, so draw a bunch of torsos from reference, memory, imagination, etc.). Deciding which way to go is something you have to figure out for yourself
sixteen minutes in and i have not a clue what i'm doing
my magnum opus. i got lazy with the background(ceiling, lights), but thats okay, its not the focus
>>8051868I recognize all these except the Easter Island head one.
>>8051772like is the body following the box angle this time ?
>>8051868ahhh.. how beautiful.. the memories..
>>8051869i dont think theres been a moai thread since summer last year
>>8051868Is the one in the middle Esdeth? I don't recognize the one between her and Moai.

>>8051870(whistling awkwardly while leaning an arm on a wall waiting)
>>8052017The most depressing part is not being able to improve your art
>>8052017(me)woops wrong thread>>8052019i think everyone improves, it's just too slow to notice. Try looking back at some of your first drawings and see if you've gotten rid of some bad habits

do you guys know any japanese artist that teach on youtube?
>>8050338finished this copy study sheet>>8052010why did you give my wife theta such a weakass nose>>8051379sick
>>8052061Thanks anon! Very nice work here; good line confidence, anatomy, and use of color- my only crit is to lengthen those lower legs a bit
>>8052063a copy study is when you try to COPY the reference anon
>>8052064I see- my bad I misinterpreted the pieces- good work either way
>>8052061the accuarcy is crazy
>>8052077>>8052064He has no soul of his own. He can only make good works when he is copying.
Still pretty fucked on these. Itโs so hard to keep things balanced when the head is only slightly turned to one side. The almost-symmetrical-but-not-quite angles always fuck me.The proportions on the extreme top down angle were way off (for the other two the jaw proportions were pretty bang on so that was nice). I know how to find the size of the jaw precisely using Robertsonโs rectangle duplication method, itโs just a matter of being careful enough when drawing the construction lines.So I need to do more of these slight-turn angles, and also more extreme top down and bottom up angles to practice find the jaw proportions in those cases.
>>8052061study better artists, jesus krusty the clown, these are tumblr tier refs (and not the good kind)
>>8052077Finished something for once. Besides the obvious lack of detail in the robe, any tips to make this better?
>>8052117Meant to reply to main thread, stupid phone app got it fucked
>>8052086pyw
>>8051868Kek, 10/10.
>>8052061I agree with both anons. The copies are really accurate but the art you're copying is a bit mediocre or subpar, honestly (except for the blue catgirl).>>8052126Even if his work is shit, that doesn't change the fact that anon's refs are shit as well.Such a retarded argument. "You can't call this ugly because you don't know how to draw better". Kek.
>>8052135I'm starting to understand why Appealfag draws the way he does. The art he admires is pretty bad, which rubs off into the work he draws.Unfortunately, some people just have bad taste. Like why is he trying to draw a fucking Pajeet? Or that lady liberty with the fucked up clavicle?

Finished first day at new job. Only drew for less than hour today. The vigor I've had in the last month or so might finally be coming to a stop. How the hell do people have the energy to draw after a 7 hour shift? I'm fucking spent, wish I was unemployed again.>>8052206keep it going bro
hm not bad actually
>>8052213wake up earlier and draw before wรถrk
>>8052173Powered thru faster than normal>>8052174tanks m8
I need to draw more. Lots of mistakes and missed opportunities.>>8052044This one is cool. I think it would look better if you removed the lineart.>>8051436Nice, but I think you can push the gesture further.
>>8049428
>>8052227nice
>>8052213>How the hell do people have the energy to draw after a 7 hour shift? I'm fucking spent, wish I was unemployed again.I missed this. Work sucks and itโs draining, so what Iโve been doing is making drawing as convenient and frictionless as possible. For me, that means drawing traditionally and choosing a single art book, either physically or on my phone. Just a mechanical pencil or ballpoint pen, some printer paper, and a clipboard. Make drawing the easiest choice when you have some free time.
>>8052229lol

>>8052508Sounds like an AI prompt. Lol.
how do I into character design? is it just finding designs you like and combining them?
>>8052512In great part, yes. Nothing new under the sun. What has been done will be done again.I would suggest adding symbolism. Add symbols based on the character's personality or background lore.Check out books such as "Dictionary of Symbols and Imagery" by Ad de Vries or "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Traditional Symbols" by J. C. Cooper.

Hay degenerates.I'm planning to buy a pic of a "space cop" alien girl (she started as just a "test dummy" to demonstrate another alien's abilities and powers, but I couldn't help but flesh her out, and now, I guess, a second commish will be in order).I am pretty sure I've nailed the basic idea of her physical looks.But when it comes to her clothes, I am going to appeal to the masses. Would her undershirt look better "vac-packed," making it like a second skin? Or stretched out over her melons, leaving "air pockets"?

>>8052562for one don't use blatant aislop as a reference
>>8049184My average time is like 4 or 3 hours shading these pieces, is it normal that it takes this long?
>>8052571Can you point out a jacket with a similar design structure? Because I have looked and couldn't find one that fits what I had in mind.Also, no input on the shirt?
>>8052213I haven't had much energy even after some of my easy 2 hour shifts. I think it might be tied to exercising and eating properly but honestly I don't even know how to get started. Going outside sucks ass in this shithole.

>one eye bigger than the othermake it stop
oh hi anons, I can't draw and I plan to be at least somewhat okay with drawing as I want to design my own tcg. I want to use my ipad pro and procreate, but I would like to ask for people also maybe using it. Is there any big advice you would give someone, who really can't draw and wants to learn it with procreate? I can be brushes, maybe tutorials, books etc.>learn it with pencil and paperyes I understand, but I don't mind learning it digitally first. pic related is something I drew. Please do not ask what it is, I drew this in the notes app and was just bored.
>>8052572>>8052589makes me feel better for taking ages on pieces
>>8052258Thanks! But yeah, I think so too, might redraw it later instead of fixing it>>8052543Everyone in hunterxhunter has that same issue lmao, nice theta tho. >>8052594Super cute!

Going into a drawing with 0 plans and then wondering why it sucks
doing studies with dorian iten's accuracy guide and i'm after doing some studies (12 total and 20 hours) it feels like i have a feeling literally nothing has improved. is this just something that i have to grind before studying anything else? are mistakes in my approach visible from pic rel?
>>8052550gave it another shot at adjustment
>>8052061lesson success
>>80525724 hours is a good amount of time for a study, but for production, I don't think so. Your painting looks overworked, so I'm sure that if you start working with a better workflow, you can reduce the time to under 2 hours. From what I see from pros, once they lock in the big shapes, everything gets faster. Also, do timed work. How much can you do in 10 minutes? Where are you wasting time? record yourself>>8052562I don't know. Using your prompt, I came up with something like this, but it doesn't feel sci-fi at all.
>>8052662Cool little mock-up. What I have posted here is a pretty minimal amount of the stuff that is going on my commission. I didn't want to overcrowd this image with all her tech stuff, as it was mostly about the shirt style.Which would look sexier or more sci-fi: the vacuum-packed breasts or saran-wrapped?
>>8052628>12 studiesTry 1200 and then report back
I just feel so rundown and defeated by this shit man. After avoiding construction for years Iโm FINALLY giving it an honesty try and I am getting better at it butโฆ itโs still just so frustrating. I understand why I never got results from it before, because you have to be EXTREMELY precise otherwise the whole thing just falls apart.Make an ellipse bulge a little too much or draw a line not quite straight and the mistake just snowballs and throws the whole drawing off. Picrel was actually pretty bang on and I was happy with it, but the bottom of the jaw still went a little too far just because I didnโt draw a couple lines perfectly straight. In this case if I actually finished the drawing and drew a real head it probably wouldnโt matter much in the end, but in other drawings the same types of mistakes cause huge problems (especially if they happen earlier in the process and the mistakes just start compounding at each step).Now you might be saying โyeah, thatโs why you keep your eyes open and see if it looks right and make corrections if it looks wrongโ, but, I feel like if I could do that then I wouldnโt need to rely on construction in the first place lol. If I had good intuition for what the end product should look like then I would just draw it directly instead of doing all the autismo intermediate steps. But itโs hard to check if all the autismo intermediate steps are correct because I lack intuition. Itโs a catch 22.Iโm not really looking for advice, Iโm just venting. Iโm going to keep using this method. I do need to shake it up though so I am just going to start drawing full skulls and see how it goes. The whole point of learning this is to be able to draw skulls so I may as well just dive into it instead of getting lost in the sauce with the wireframes. I also begrudgingly need to start mixing in some skull studies from reference. I HATE drawing from reference, feels like more pressure oddly, but I hope it will build intuition.
>>8052690>, I feel like if I could do that then I wouldnโt need to rely on construction in the first place lol.nod really. The difference is frieren and having an eye that is slightly off. If the base is somewhat solid, the range of adjustment gets narrowed. The amount of autism (as lines on a canvas) necessary diminishes over time; your ability to draw these lines translates to your understanding of them.
>>8052611the nipple slightly lower left and the pec could also move sligvtly right, maybe?

Thats their business, and there's nothing wrong with that, but still...What I try to do instead is find streams or interviews with professional artists where they're just drawing and talking about their process. How do you find those?I use imdb, myanimelist, x, gpt, bilibili, youtube, and ending credits. I look for art directors, artists, etc.Some people I've found this way:https://www.youtube.com/@yoshidaseijihttps://www.youtube.com/@yoshikaduhttps://www.youtube.com/@AlainPicardFor example, from this one I picked up the habit of using temporal layers:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0hGefr79AEAnd from this one, I got the basic workflow I use for drawing backgrounds:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsMBCIetiR0But the important thing is to actually draw and try new stuff: the lasso tool, gradient tool, masking, etc.

>>8052781my brain tells it looks alright
>>8052781things I notice is the weird hairline, some lack of implied volume to the back of the head, and the placement and shape of the earbut it's still a nice drawing

>>8052784Thank you.>>8052787You're right, I moved the entire hair forwards and didn't change the hairline. I'm still not great at drawing ears either, should probably look at reference. Anyway, thank you.

>>8052690The guidelines in red do not align well. I think the complexity is working against you.>because you have to be EXTREMELY preciseOnly certain things need to be precise. Alignment/positioning tends to need precision,or at least be logical, while the shapes themselves can be a little looser than you expect.>mistakes just start compounding at each stepThis is why I recommend starting with a single larger shape and dividing it, rather than trying to build something out of compound shapes like the sphere and cone. When you divide, mistakes become smaller and smaller.Instead of trying to replicate Loomis, start by asking yourself "what are the proportions I want this face to have?" Nail that down first, then build your construction to fit that idea. The construction should serve your drawing, not the other way around.

>>8053096He needs to promote his own scribbles
>>8053156No one can draw at first. Just look at one of the gazillion tutorial online and pick what you want. Keep in mind, a lot of people have slightly different way to do things so some tutorials might be incompatible with each other. Don't be afraid to use references or to compare your results with pro artists you like to see what your own drawing are missing
>>8053109I mentioned this a few threads ago but I used to doodle on my school notebooks during high school all the time, and then on some of the paperwork from my job. I was awful though. This one is probably from a year and a half to two years ago.>how long have you been drawing "seriously"One year by now I think. First image I have on twitter is from October 18 so I might've just crossed the one year mark a few days ago since I did start drawing on a sketchbook first for a little bit before I got a tablet.>>8053106Is there anything that I can do to prove I'm not? I don't like the idea of someone thinking I'm pretending to be someone else.
>>8053208Talent is real after all then. I dare any nigger to tell me otherwise.
>>8053208>made in abyssSeems about right. How insecure do you have to be to gas up your own drawings here for months?
>>8053208>>8050297>From this to that in a yearWhat is the cope now for all the talentdeniers? This guy is casually mogging our best and brightest like Grater, Gachatroon, Raxav, Jona not even a year into drawing. What is the cope now? Or how does someone manage to improve that much while working and the others stagnate?
>>8053213Jealous of his talent, troon?
>>8053217>talentWhere?
>>8053208So how did you make it out of symbol drawing and get that good in a year? Did you even study anything or is it just raw talent?
so-bin study
>>8053208it's another case of he drew prior to when he said he started drawing, as always
>>8053226I'll be honest I have total brainrot syndrome. I tried reading many books but I just couldn't get past the first few pages most of the time. I did however obsess over drawing for the first five months or so after I started drawing seriously, wherein I would sometimes draw for 8 to 12 hours in a day. That period was rough, emotionally speaking. I would draw for 4 hours, feel like I got nowhere and made something I wasn't proud of, which would then send me into an autistic daze where I would draw for many more hours hoping I'd make something I would actually be happy with. I still wouldn't, most of the time, and would just cry until I didn't have any more energy and would head to bed. It was like that almost every day until little by little I started to make drawings that made me at least a little bit proud at the time. From then on the emotional load became a lot more bearable.As to methodology and what I did during those hours, it was a mixture of copying from artists whose art I liked and drawing original stuff (but still using some amount of reference most of the time). I tried doing a few exercises here and there, but 95% of the time I was either copying or trying to create something. All and all I think my perfectionism, autism and ADHD medication did most of the heavy lifting, I just had to endure the emotional torment and not give up. I wouldn't recommend drawing for more than 8 hours a day though. I had back pains, sleep deprivation and a bunch of other stuff for a while. That coupled with stress at work made me require such a high dosage of medication that now my liver's having trouble functioning and I feel sick if I eat any sizeable portion of food. So yeah just copy stuff from people you admire, draw original stuff sometimes and be strict on yourself, but don't overdo it. Sorry for the essay lol
>>8053251wow, not that anon but you insufferable
>>8053251stand proud brother and ignore the homosexual faggots
>>8053251stimulants makes so much sense bruh i got some 20mg Vyvanse and i did a study for the first time in like a year. stimulants are magic
two hours and this piece of shit on the left is all I have to showhttps://files.catbox.moe/ihnnhz.PNGI am requesting advice on how to fix this face because that's what's really killing me right now. how can I sell the smug expression for the elf girl I'm supposed to be drawing? the placement and look of her ears is also puzzling me.
>>8053251>Got anatomy, perspective, 3d and appeal through sheer talent.>While anons like unappealfag copy books cover to cover and do thousands hours of courses and cant draw for shit.>Pawell who would shill books and courses and be permabeg 8 years and counting.Holy brutal deathpill. If you arent born talented its over.

>>8053266The guy who draws hunterxhunter shota sex is also on drugs and he is permabeg. Just look at his copies and drawings that look like methjunkies even if xer is one of the most prolific drawers here.

How do i fix terrible line quality when drawing something i never tried to draw? Im trying to draw interiors and buildings but i cant make a single line straight.

>>8053293>two replies>same faggingare you retarded
>>8053294Because it's impossible for one person to respond twice to the same poster? Stupid little boy.
saar, redeem the new thread, saar
>>8053256Sorry. Just trying to be helpful. I understand that this comes across and egocentric and pretentious, but I remember thinking "what wouldn't I give to be able to scan an artist's head and read his thoughts so I could understand what worked for him", so I just want to lay it all bare in the event that it helps a few people. Being silent helps no one.>>8053258Yeah, I really does feel like it made a difference. I don't like the idea of incentivizing people to get into medication, but if you have ADHD I think it could be worth it. This type of stuff is super expensive here and it's where pretty much all of the money from my job goes, but between being broke and being able to learn how to draw versus having a little bit of money but being unproductive, 10/10 times I would choose the former.
>>8053304please ignore that other anon, i appreciate you wanting to give ur insight
>>8053296call me that again, it's hot

Why the mods never ban the schizos? Not a single board does it im kind of curious to know if the jannies or mods themselfs are the schizos at this point.
>>8053364They do, you have to actually report their posts.
>>8053364everyone here looks like a schizo. everyone
>>8053042way better good job anon
make a new thread or i'll rape you
>>8053376promise?
>>8053364Being annoying isn't against the rules, I assume, so they have free rein
>>8053396It technically falls under low quality, but the only board I've ever seen enforce that rule is /a/.
>get really excited about creative project>realise that nobody will ever see it and that nobody i know irl cares about it and I will die without anyone seeing the fruits of my labour>get motivationhow do i go full hermit autist mode and box myself into a project that nobody will care about. I enjoy drawing but if i spend prolonged amounts of time (1 week+) on a single project Iโll slowly lose the will to carry on and retreat back into low stakes easy sketches
>>8053416woopslose motivation*
>>8053416You just have to work with things that you personally like and like to look at. You'll see that everyone here has that one main thing they draw. Mechs, cute girls, boys, and so on. For me it's monster girls and big tiddies.
>>8053403I lean authoritarian myself, but you don't need the police most of the time. You can always just hide and not engage. If women can do it, so can /beg. I just accept that it comes with the territory, the drawbacks and advantages of anonymity.
>>8053338get no replies anyway, so why bother?
>>8053082mogs me
>>8053453This place is dead, and so are the other art communities if you're not talented or already made it.I'm glad AI will make this all irrelevant soon.
