Just an excuse to see what you all are sketching for your campaigns. I'll drop a couple of mine to be fair.
>>94722214spoilers for my party but I don't think they frequent this site
>>94722214I wish I could draw. I've used AI to do shots of some scenes from my game, but ain't nobody outside of my group wants to see AI-slop.
>>94722214Cool stuff! I will never share my shit lest someone i know find it, but i like your work!
>>94722214none of my players, nor am I, in any way artistically inclined
The thing I like about digital drawings is that you can composite new things without having to redo the entire vista for each major addition.
>>94723042Giant carrot!!
>>94723198Players got pretty experimental with a device built by a master alchemist after they gave them the finger bone of a saint whose miracle was causing plants to grow that they fished out of the hovel of another, slightly less-successful alchemist, whose experiments turned their home and the surrounding woods into Vault 22.
>>94722214Very cute anon
I already posted tons of my elf artwork in various threads. Should I repost them here or only the ones that I believe I haven't posted before?
>>94724698Feel free to dump it all. I think your style is neat.
>>94722325pick up a pencil bro it's fun I promise
>>94722214I love drawing stuff for my campaigns.I'll share more if anyone's interested
>>94727583
>>94727586Dorkboy bard who falls into traps constantly
>>94727657Actually I also have this, although I only edited them together.
>>94727583This reads like a rogue arguing for a very broad interpretation of flanking.
>>94724812aight, time to fill up thread with cute redneck elf.
>>94728811that is stuck in hell now but this is her original design
>>94724698Cringe>>94728811Arriana is cringe, the rest are good.
>>94728816she looks mostly like this now
>>94728816Way better than her art above
>>94728820why is she cringe?
some of our other party members
cute elf becomes jaded in hell
aight gonna stop for now...I wanna see others fill up the thread with their stuff...
jesus christ that is some sepcial brand of autism. how many pictured did you draw of her? It's your own oc I take it?
>>94728980It's just my PC. All of this accumulated over a year of playing. I'm a professional artist and i scribble various stuff daily. Most of these are 5 minutes-1 hour scribbles I've done of her either during session or as a warmup before I do client work or when I'm teaching during downtime when I wait for students to finish whatever assignment i give them. Some days I just do like 10-20 drawings of her simply because I'm bored. Some sessions I can shit out 3-4 pages of drawings in my book, especially during combat because she is a ranger/scout and my turns mostly consist of "pet munch this guy, I move here and shoot that guy" so I have plenty of time to scribble something up.
>>94728827Getting sent to Hell is cringe. Don't be a sinner, bro.
>>94729291we were scammed into being sent to Hell.
I have this habit of starting pieces and then never finishing them, so i have a lot of drawings that aren't finished enough to show
>>94730067finishing work (or at least making it somewhat presentable) is as important as starting the work. Sadly, very few people teach you this.
>>94732585Your art is very nice. Having a personal campaign to inspire me to draw more has helped with knocking the rust off personally.
Good thread. Contributing.>>94730067Doesn't matter if your stuff isn't finished Anon, go ahead and post your doodles, we wanna see
I always wanted to draw more but never get to it. Thankfully I got in the habit to draw for the game I run, which gave me slow but steady progress over the years.
>>94733252
>>94733259
>>94733269
>>94732810>>94733279Very oldschool styles, I love it. Reminds of 80's and 90's fantasy art.
>>94722214from a Pokerole game I'm in. My character's starter was a Female Nidoran who has the Sassy nature so I drew her as the smug little shit she is.
>>94736218SOmeone used a fucking mecha from a super sentai as a digifake evolution so I took it and turned it into an actual digimon design, metalkangaroomon because that shitty cgi was just distracting but they said they liked it and swapped the token on r20 for it.
>>94736218>>94736221I can't remember the context for this but I know I used it as a token in one game I ran.
never got round to drawing the water and fire goddesses and the Allfather god they are all married to.
>>94732766Love the style. There's a grotesque grunge to it.
I'll post some art for the NPC's I've made, as a visual aid. It's all traced but nobody at the table cares thank God
>>94741710
>>94741716
>>94741728
>>94724698>>94728827now that is some top notch stuff
I had some time in between calls at work so I did a line-and-wash of my dwarf.
I used to keep campaign diaries in character. For a 40k game I decided to try and have fun with it. This was the first session.(names removed to protect the guilty)
>>94733269This is primordial.Maybe the most earnest artwork I've ever seen on /tg/
>>94733269>>94733279These are badass. They've got an old-school Warhammer feel to them.
>>94722214Made these in MS Paint for a campaign I've yet to run. Looking at these again I don't like the Gorm flag and I really don't like the Kush flag.
>>94742109what do you mean by "earnest"?
>>94732585why would you need to be taught that if you don't finish something it won't be finished
>>94722214Not from my game, but rather something I drew when playing my friend's game
>>94728827 >>94728842 >>94728860>>94728892 >>94732585My favourites of yours>>94733252 >>94733259>>94733269 >>94733279Your style reminds me of art from the Fighting Fantasy books, I love it>>94741737Something about ritually-tattooed bald religious men that is fascinating
>>94746002They're carvings, and he's bleeding from them constantly (not depicted).I think the tattooed thing is boring personally
How hard is it to learn to draw? I'm a draftsman (sort of by trade although I just use AutoCAD since school) which is useful for drawing dimensional drawings of play maps but all my attempts at sketches are toddler tier.It seems like a steep learning curve just to draw the retarded adventures of my Call of Cthulhu and 40k RPG adventures.
>>94748635The best thing any developing artist can do to improve their art is take a life drawing class that uses real nude subjects.
>>94748938I'm not in art college and I don't have twink hiring money
>>94748635Pretty easy, just practice tracing and reproduction and you'll pick it up like anything else.>>94748938Drawing from nature was outdated before we even had literature
>>94749102There are websites that you can use that have large libraries of models. If you can't find a community college that has life drawing, practicing on these websites can still help. Start with gesture drawing, then work on value scale, then learn how to blend colors by making your own color wheel.
>>94749207Here is a good place to start for models:https://line-of-action.com/

jesus what a waste of a thread
>>94749656Quality post; thanks for contributing.
better than you, retard
>>94746002thank you>>94745845Because not knowing when the artwork is "done" would induce a closed loop system where you always spot something missing in your work and then go down the spiral of "fixing" the same work over and over and over and over again. It's highly inefficient. It's frustrating. It will make you hate art.>>94748635>How hard is it to learn to draw?That depends.What is your goal and how much time can you spend drawing daily?>>94748938>The best thing any developing artist can do to improve their art is take a life drawing class that uses real nude subjects.Wrong if you don't know what you're doing and what life drawing is for.
I don't draw, I just commission. Does it count or nah?
I can't remember how the conversation went exactly but I think the the players went to meet the barbarian chief and wanted to know what they looked like so I opened MS Paint real quick and made this and threw it into roll20. For what amounted to be a 10 second shit paint, I got a very long chortle out of everyone.
>>94751841Finnish Barbarian?
>>94749373Alchemists seem extra prone to dying, don't they. My campaign has also seen a pc alchemist halfling die, how interesting. He got his skull caved in by a magical construct in an ancient jungle temple.
>>94750708>What is your goalTo be able to draw character art and depictions of scenes in game to the level of say >>9472881. monocolour pencil sketches with reasonable proportions and the ability to draw things happen not just character portraits.>How much time to practice I could definitely sketch a bit every day. It's quite calming and since my post I've been trying to practice the whole anatomy circles thing first since it's easy to understand with my technical/mechanical drawing experience.
>>94750708>Wrong if you don't know what you're doing and what life drawing is for.The assumption is they want to draw characters in action poses to illustrate their rpg sessions. I don't know what else you could take from their post. Life drawing will definitely improve that immensely.
I know all my players lurk here, so some of you lads may recognize my artstyle and realize this is an NPC you haven't encountered yet. If you do, congrats and enjoy the teaser =]See you tomorrow!
>>94756452assumption is a mother of all fuckups. But even if they want to draw characters, they shouldn't do life drawings but should start by drawing from head using various anatomy books that teach you how to simplify the human body to be able to draw it 360ยบ from your mind
>>94758554his assumption is right.
>>94728945this girl someJane and the Dragonlevels of skinny
>>94755778Then work on putting/simplifying humans into simple shapes. I've put a .pdf that a lot of artists use to practice here >>94758554 . Alternatively, manga style is extremely popular because it's flexible enough for you to transition out of it or stay in it if you find it interesting and there are tons of resources online that give you character frames to work around. One more alternative is Proko. He does tons of courses and you can find some of his stuff online. It covers proper basics you need. The only thing you need to be aware is that if you cannot do more than an hour of drawing daily, don't expect fast improvements.>>94768995skinny elf best elf. Though she got some muscle now from washing all the dishes.
>>94741878Thats really pretty. The battle damage along the shield is real clean
