actual prev thread:>>85115881sorry
no edition?horny edition
>>85292502>>85292543How was this mistake even made?
>>85293415i thought it was "art" not "draw"
Wishing improvement for you all. I'll draw something later.
bump
made myself draw today
trying to actually finish these sketches has been a very slow process
who is awake rn?
>>85295352Me, sup
>>85295477idk. hi. what're You drawing?
death
I have a bad habit of just not drawing anything, so decided to practice doodling and refining to get ideas out.
>>85295140The foreshortening use is pretty neat.
Foreshortening is hard
I will draw soonish
No art dude
>>85295140still working

>>85306538Oh wow. Really impressive
Draft lineart for next drawing of this sexy guy. holy shit I like the new stroke preview feature in CSP and the hand tools.I think I did the leg muscles correct, not sure about the left (his right) arm muscles
>>85307865stroke feature?
>>85308012it reduces the lag between input if your stabilization is high. It was added in a recent version iirc. I haven't updated my csp in over a year, but drawing lines smoothly feels so much better now after updating.
>>85308115ah i got the perpetual license, so i would have to update by buying the fucking update pass lmao
>>85306661Thanks. Wish I were better at joining and relating pieces instead of floating them, but something for future
>>85309125you get better with time. Just keep at it and it'll come natuarally.
boutta start, gonna smoke and get this thread active.
>>85309732Finish something today.
>>85309789i'll finish something when im ready to. For now im not. I appreciate the sentiment though, geneuinely.
>>85314043I think a big problem with these tutorials is that beginners often think they're a step-by-step for how you should construct every single drawing, rather than as a template for studying shape, form, and structure. I think that's why we see so many people drawing "construction" that's simply attempting to copy these tutorials, rather than use them as a proper method to map out the drawing itself.
>>85314561You hit the nail on the head. It took me a very long time to realize that.
>>85314611Same. It's taken me ages, but just last night I made a drawing based almost entirely on my own knowledge of anatomy and how everything sits in relation to everything else. It's HARD, but it would have helped to understand that kind of method from the beginning.I still can't do Loomis though, although I am finally starting to understand heads a little more. I guess I gotta do more dedicated skull studies.
>>85314561>simply attempting to copy these tutorials, rather than use them as a proper method to map out the drawing itselfWhat's a good way to put this to a beginner? Something like "use the perspective rules and anatomical reference points here as a guide to check your own work"?
>>85314694also also gesture first, construction second. I notice some tutorials also forget the inherit gesture behind certain poses
>>85314930"Learn your fundamentals" lmao. I resisted this for a long time, but it's simply not feasible; you HAVE to know the basics to be able to get better. You don't need to know or study them all at once (for example, you don't REALLY need light, color, or composition if you're just interested in figures for the moment), but you do need a few to even think about forming that solid foundation. I think the most important ones are gestures, shapes (including how to cut shapes into smaller pieces; establishing summetry is super helpful), perspective (at least insofar as learning how to think three-dimensionally) and if you're doing people, anatomy. Practicing your linework, too, of course, though that can be supplanted with enough patience, usually.Marc Brunet just uploaded a video talking about how you really only needed to know a small amount of said fundamentals in order to lay the foundation.Once you know those fundamentals, then you can start applying them to constructing drawings, since you have the toolbox stocked with some things. You can use spheres or boxes to get the perspective of a picture down, and then fill in the gaps, or figure out foreshortening by placing objects in front of others, or make new shapes by combining or cutting pieces out of others. You can ensure your anatomy is solid by drawing simple 'clothes' on a character, for example, and if it all lines up, you did it. If not, you hopefully know how to adjust it.I wasted a lot of time not doing any of this, and now I fear I might be too lazy to properly put in the time since I'm just "good enough". I feel like that's a shame if it happens to other people. You should be getting better and better all the time.>>85315002Agreed. But I see those misunderstood a lot too. Hampton, I think, has some really good videos on the subjects where he details his methods line by line. Very insightful.
i wish i knew which anon i knew was which.
>>85315242Just the nature of anonymous posting, I'm afraid. We're only really identifiable by our work, so when the post doesn't come with an image attached, all you've got to go on is the text. Everybody's got writer invariants that might tip you off, but those can be rather unreliable and there's often overlap; there's a lot of people out there who don't bother to capitalize their letters when they should, for example.
>>85315002i haven't done gesture work in forever shit.
>>85315508wonder which one you are.
>>85315862He is the big wall text guy! Or so I assume. I also keep forgetting what his work looks like... This might be an entirely different anon now that I think of it.
>>85316251>I also keep forgetting what his work looks likeI'm the guy doing anthro equines most of the time. Easy to forget, of course, seeing as I post work so rarely.
Anyone know of any CSP-focused tutorials? I kind of regret not getting an iPad because there are so many Procreate tutorials on getting certain effects, workflows, etc.
>>85303208The shading looks sublime anon
Trying to draw after two months of slacking off make feel like I have azhemeir.3 hours session of heads with varying succes to get back.
>>85318503It's actually deftones but thanks anon
I hope that dick looks better now >>85316564I feel like I should know
>>85315242i am spartacus!>>85319584what’s deftones?>>85319714hey buddy i think your thread is a bout to get bumped off
>>85319714>I feel like I should knowLike I said, it's easy to forget when there just isn't a consistent stream of new pieces to remind people what my stuff looks like. Just ain't felt motivated to draw in a good long while, and I've got IRL obligations getting in the way right now anyhow so I'm not likely to start again anytime soon.
>>85314043I think I prefer this kind of construction but that one is more for 3D practice.
>>85321978>hey buddy i think your thread is a bout to get bumpedBut I have nothing to bump it with.It's okay. I'll make a new one eventually (in month to a year
>>85322072Ohh damn, sorry to hear. Or good to hear? What ever. As long as you keep finding time to draw
>>85323101I usually get out of my slumps eventually, only to get a run of IRL bullshit (mostly involving helping people haul stuff for moves or remodelling) that puts me in a new one soon after. Sucks, but what can ya do?
>>85292836hmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>85324288Say... Are you interested in sharing socials?
>revive
Bump
I don't sleep and I'm about to fall asleep as I've drawing this Sorry if this makes no sense
who up?
>>85331066hello
>>85326604Don't really have any, I just post here whenever I have something to share.
>>85332403Hellooooo
I should dig into the Taco book again. It helped a lot last time.
>>85333907You should and post your studies here!!
sometimes I wanna kms
>>85337211Don't do it! We are so close to affordable gynoid gfs
>>85340481bro, don't kid yourself
holy shit this thread is on life support
>>85344364Something happened during my great absence
>>85344826it really did. Anyways im gonna practice gesture
I'm really struggling to care about art lately.
>>85346803whyu
>>85346917I wish I knew.Just feels pointless, I guess.
>>85347145dont have anything you want to draw or want to work towards?
>>85337002Gotta do a lot more studying than just hoping I get it correct first time round when I usually draw. But got to do it if I want to make fancier stuff.
>>85347289keep it up
>>85347224Not really. I just do pinups and stuff, but I don't have any drive to do anything else.
>>85348629can i see?
>>85348629why do you think that is?
>>85348732I don't want to, because people will just accuse me of having my yearly crashout, even though it really just feels like a general lack of enthusiasm and not brainworms, this time. It's different than before. I don't want to give up, I just don't have a really solid reason or goal to keep me going. It's probably temporary. None of my sketches or doodles or practices are hooking me right now.>>85348755That's what I'm asking myself.
>>85348829>I don't want to, because people will just accuse me of having my yearly crashout, i won't. I'm genuinely curious.

>>85348829That sucks anonHave you tried forcing motivation back by abusing stimulants?
>>85351675are you on stimulants? are you who i think you are....
final
>>85351675No. Drugs are fucking stupid.
god i suck at gesture shit
>>85352894What are these? One minute gestures?
>>8535299230sthink im gonna go up to 2 min and slow down the process
>>85295701Nta but i drew her
>>85353526looks good
I need to stop telling people about what I am working on. I keep starting projects that feel very promising and that after a while become nightmares to complete, and then I feel mega guilty if I don't complete it because I know there's people who wanted to see the finished thing
>>85354809you realize you're doing that right now by telling us you're going to do it instead of just doing the thing.
>>85354809You just did it again but about what it stops you from start drawing
BUMP
>>85354809I know that feel, but I doubt not feeling the pressure to deliver will help you actually get things done. Sometime, you just gotta knuckle down and push through the pain to see it through.
Foreground sketch only so far.
>>85353103>>85352894These are good for 30s
I think I'm relying too much on construction. Time to gesture it up and go nuts.
I need to get back to doing this again. I might do half of the 30 second ones though and do a couple of two-minute ones to compensate.
Going to present my own analysis in regads to what I need to focus on if I want to match NoahDoesArt's skill level (pic related) in a relatively "short" amount of time (1 year and half, 3/4 hours of drawing daily as the average)>Form and sense of 3d spaceBasically the most crucial aspect of what separates me from his work in terms of experience. His art feels very organic and bouncy. Drawabox and Perspective made easy alongside drawing from life/reference in general might fix this>General anatomy knowledge and figure drawingThe most important aspect lacking in my art besides form. Noah also has a strong knowledge of all the overall muscles and shit and knows how to pose bodies better and more naturally. Morpho first paired with Bridgeman or Hogarth later and a shitton of timed figure drawing might fix this>InkingNot as drastic of a difference as point 1 and 2, but the gap is still noticeable. Studying the work of professional mangakas and comic artists who draw in ink heavy detailed styles might fix this alongside the rendering in pen and ink book>Composition and StorytellingI think this just comes from more developed intuition and visual library and clear ideas rather than any book or course desu. References help drastically
>>85360186An example of my current skill level for direct comparison. I've been drawing casually for 3/4 years as a whole (counting the year and all the months I didn't touch a pencil). I love his work btw, and I use it as an example of which skill level I should be like before starting a proper comic book instead of focusing on funny strips like I'm doing now.
trying to just sketch ideas out rather than spend four hours stuck on one thing, I think it's kind of helping
>>85360206Well keep up the practice. Seems like half this thread is people telling themselves what they should or will do, and then never doing it. Don't make that same mistake.
Whatever.Art is for fags and losers (me).
>>85351705how do you render with pencils? probably a skill issue on my end, i find it almost impossible to control my pen pressure consistently, so my only option to lighten things up is to erase, which then requires more lines to fix, and then in the end everything looks like shit and i go back to cel shading
>>85364071I'm using the sk3 brushpack for krita since It's supposed to blend better somehow. Generally I'm trying to get tone down in one long "stroke", I don't lift the stylus, just go back and forth as light as I can since I've noticed in the past that separate strokes darken more. I haven't got it down to a science and there's a lot of patience, but one thing I try to keep in mind is that the darks can always be darker. Dunno if that helps any, I'm bad at giving advice and kinda just go through a drawing until it looks right if that makes sense.
>>85363908This doesn't look comfortable.
>>85365838leaning forward like that kind of sucks, but the rest is solid.
i didn't feel like drawing anything serious today.puppycat taking a hit from a bong.
>>85360211Not sure if I'll finish this but it was good practice I think. Seems like "finishing" pieces always seems to make them look worse to me.
goggies
>>85360186That's a solid analysis. You're missing the stylization part though. I doubt the artist you posted as your inspiration got to that level just by grinding fundamentals. I'd include copying artist with that particular style in your to do list. Also an inherent understanding of 3d space and forms isn't something you study for but rather something that comes from millage. Waste of time to study directly if you ask me. Specially if you plan to fix that using drawabox, you'll just get better at drawing cubes instead of what you actually want to get better at (complex forms i assume)
Guess whos back. Took a week off waiting for my spare pen to get delivered and to just refocus on what it is I actually want to do with my art. Spent most of tonight fucking around with settings getting used to the new pen because it feels a bit too slick or something so only a few basic figures to show for it. I'll work on more experimental stuff after I get more used to it.
>>85362080looks nice and unfaggy though
Holy fuck. 130 replies, 47 images. This thread is fucked. Why would anyone post here?
>>85373661Dw, I'll get a lil better and turn this bitch up a notch
>>85373687nvm i give up
progress I made last night
>>85375911Nice
>>85375911already mogs me
hello gang, how was your morning
>>85376650*morgs
I'm intimidated by how good some of you are.
>>85380666All passion and training sweaty (I have not posted anything all thread)
Im ashamed of calling myself a /dig/ger
>>85383886why
>>85375911Very cool!>>85384543There are no thoughts behind that nose.
You should be forced to post your art
alright imma get on and start posting
>>85386343Fine, here's something I did in my tiny sketchbook. It's the first time I've attempted shirt wrinkles and lightning.
First shadow pass, too tired to go on for now. Keep trying new processes and never decide on one.
fucking finally some activity>>85387508how long you been at it? Explore away, even difficult things. You'll naturally get better at it with time.>>85387700looks good. You better be back tommorow.
>>85388196I’ll be back. Thank you!
>>85380666nice trips. Im sure nobody meant to dissuade you anon. Everyone was where you are at one point, so dont feel intimidated by any person whose work you like. You'll get there too.
>>85388482i was about to say something similar. But thanks, i think this thread needs some more positive affirmation for the users.
>>85380666We’re all on the same journey at different points. No shame in it, just keep going.
>>85388196>how long you been at it?Nearly 2 years but I'm very on and off with actually drawing. I've gone months without doing so and I want to get into it more.
>>85389014>i want to get into it morethat's good. Any plans or way how? I'd suggest you keep your notebook/drawing tablet always at your desk, and have the discipline to never remove it.
>>85389078>Any plans or way how?The first step would be increasing my consistency. I think about drawing a lot but I never actually start doing it. After that, I'll start drawing whatever I want. Long ago I locked myself in "practicing" without drawing things I wanted.
>>85389334sounds like a plan. Hopefully we see you stick around a bit.
im ngl, life is kinda going okay for me now. My music stuff is sounding better, more professional and expressive, medication seems to be working well, and im getting back at being more consistent . If only my art improved.
>>85386343Joke's on you, I have no new art to post.
>>85389612Anon! You gotta draw something!
Grabbed the tablet for a few minutes and did whatever came to mind. I'll grab references next time.
>>85386343Ok
>>85390552ambitious scene, good work for attempting it. Of course the boring advice is practice fundamentals, anatomy etc, but good work for attempting
>>85384543You could point at me say im among this generals greatest failures
>>85390593how could you say that when i still post here
>>85390707Have you been lingering on the same skill level for 2 years and it's nothing impressive?
>>85390589Thanks. Yeah, my anatomy is pretty poor currently. This is mostly continuing to stab at gesture, just trying something new than my usual. I tend to overwork them.If I can scrounge up time this month I need to get back into Hampton's figure drawing book.
>>85390751>Have you been lingering on the same skill level for 2 years and it's nothing impressive?yes
>>85390914Do timed paintings, 30 min to an hour, from real life and photos you like. All on one layer. Shake it up.
Crystal rendering test wip bump
>>85403550Hello! Welcome back! Good work on the art rendering. How long have you been drawing?
>>85404392I honestly haven’t kept a good track record. Like 7 years at least? But with plenty of breaks, and getting more serious about improving the last 4-5 years.
>>85404498that's good. Stick around! We need more /dig/ posters!
>>85404758Will do. I’m a big proponent of propping up other artists and helping newer artists keep the spirit to keep going. I can’t say I am a pro but I like to help when I can, but even I feel very little confidence in my own stuff. Still, I have a lot of technical knowledge so hopefully I can help.
>>85404813that's great! sorry if i come off as super excited. I'm just off a few edibles, having fun drawing my little gestures
>>85405253No worries, anon! Any fun gestures to show?
>>85408207just pretty much all the shitty ones you see posted in the thread so far lol. I'm slowly seeing improvement (i think)
Slowly getting back into the groove. I feel like im not doing enough with the time I have
>>85409925Don’t let yourself live with regret. I wish I had drawn a hundred thousand more times in the past, since now every piece is created with pain. Obviously don’t hurt yourself, remember to stretch and rest and take care of yourselves, but don’t waste your liveliness. Of course you’re not wasting the time if you’re learning and loving and putting in effort, still.
>>85409925better to do what you can than nothing at all
how active are we
Finally drew the rest of that damn owl. The next step is to not make it so flat.
>>85411450welcome back
>>85411450With dragons, there's fortunately no shortage of figurines out there for reference material to practice capturing the sense of volume on paper. Plenty of posable 3D models too, I'd imagine.
question for the thread, if im making a self-insert OC, how much am i allowed to larp. Making him gigachad would be pretty corny imo
>>85411814It's generally accepted that an alter ego is going to be idealized to some degree, but overdoing it is a faux pas. Just keep it grounded and acknowledge your personal flaws rather than trying to cover them up with unearned bravado and unjustified ability in your avatar character and you should be fine.
>>85412270what's overdoing though?
>>85412301Heh, if that could be accurately defined, nobody would make the mistake unless they specifically wanted to for storytelling purposes. If it makes you cringe, you're almost certainly overdoing it. If it makes others in your close circle cringe, you're probably overdoing it. If it makes random strangers cringe, it's a 50/50 whether you're overdoing it. Keep things open and adaptable until you're sure of what you're doing and you'll keep the retconning to a minimum.
>>85412337so just don't come off as a narcissist
>>85412412Basically, yeah. Just be sure to get other people's opinion on it too, we are rarely the best judge of our own character, after all.
>>85412624who are you mystery anon
>>85412657Anthro horse anon, phoneposting at the moment since I'm in the middle of one of those IRL obligations of mine, catching a short break.
>>85413071hopefully things go easy for u
>>85413177Thanks, just helping my brother get his apartment ready for some landlord-mandated renovations, ain't too hard but it does eat up a lot of time. Next weekend it'll be helping the folks move out of the summer cottage again. Maybe I'll be able to squeeze in some time for art during the week.
>>85415241That's one cool Dragon.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa I just want a picture to grab me so I can obsess over it for a week or two but nothing I'm drawing is inspiring me at all...
>>85419086Grab a random image you like from Pinterest or something. Paint it with a time limit. It’s brain off as far as studying can be, and it can give you confidence and may lead to a spark of inspiration. If nothing else you spent 30 minutes and improved and won’t have the “I should draw” guilt.
>>85422239I don't have "I should draw" guilt. I'm drawing. A lot, even. Just nothing is grabbing me in such a way that I want to finish it, and it's not leading to any other ideas.
Doelester doodle, taking it easy lately. Makes me less stressed
>>85386343A lot of what I draw isn't postable in polite company. More still is unpostable because I'm not shameless enough.What remains is reduced yet again because it doesn't feel relevant outside of the time and place it was made or is too much of a doodle.
>>85423834Indeed. Take it easy, guys
Decided I also wanted to do a backside view of my previous drawing >>85307865But damn, I'm bad when it comes to drawing the backside unless is just a close up ass view, feels like I struggled with this draft. I need feedback on how the muscles look and if anything looks off or needs change
Might’ve bit off more than I can chew. This is going to take a long time.
>>85426157nah looks good KEEP GOING
>>85426479Okay this is as far as it’s going to go.
>>85428011Congratulations. Looks good. Lighting on the crystals is really beautiful and bright.
>>85428371Thank you! I’m sure it could’ve been better if I took longer but I keep reaching a fuck it point where I can’t stand to work on a piece any longer.
>>85428691The fact you got that far is proof enough that you can go further with enough time and practice
>>85428011we have actual art being posted in /dig/ holy mama.
>>85428011Posted a finished piece on /dig/ award
>>85429534hey, stop calling all of us out. I have commitment issues.
>>85428766I will try harder next time!>>85429458Is this rare?>>85429534I’ll accept it!
>>85430136/dig/ is usually dead except for one or two particular anons
>>85428011Damn, you did a great job rendering this, Looks great!
we're....we're active....
>>85428011It looks really good! But with that said, I don't think you should fear taking a long time with a piece. One of my favorite pieces I spent 90 hours on, and I still like it a lot. There is an argument for stopping before you go too far, but there are also times when the finished product simply takes a longer time.I still think you should be proud of this piece though. Very nice.
>>85430822It’s less a fear, and more that I get tired of it before I can really spend the time it needs. This one was also more complex than I initially intended so I got a bit bogged down and once I hit that point of not wanting to do it anymore it’s a matter of finish it or abandon it. But thank you, I’m still very happy with it!>>85430151Unfortunate.>>85430250Thank you!>>85430397Breath deep, brother.
lighting up a celebratory blunt for /dig/'s revival
I ran out of juice before I could figure out what I wanted to do to finish this one off. Fucked around with my pen settings and I think I finally got something I actually like.
>>85430136Wait wtf was this Molly-anon all along?
>>85429534I never got this award when I posted a finished piece to /dig/...
>>85430136>Is this rare?/dig/ is mostly sketch posts when you really look at it. Even color sketches are rare now that I think about it.
we're so active it's making me cry
>>85430136Revived the thread on accident award
>>85425661I got softlocked by the back not so long ago. Gvaat's guide was what i found to be most helpful; https://gvaat.com/blog/how-to-draw-the-back-a-step-by-step-construction-guide/Some anatomy and construction books completely gloss over the back. it's really frustrating
>>85431657hampton goes over it pretty damn well. check it out!
It's so easy to admire art but it's hard to start drawing for me.
how do I render good, my art always looks worse after I render
anyone got a tutorial on how to draw good buttholes?
>>85434501Isn't it fairly straightforward? Just find one from an artist you like and copy it. That's what I do at least
>>85434774>Isn't it fairly straightforward?if it was I wouldn't ask... some artists do advanced renderings that are beyond my skill level
>>85434501Couldn't find many asshole tutorials honestly, but here's one. People have different tastes in assholes, but a somewhat common method I see is this triangle one in the top left.The ass cleft runs down and splits sort of like a Y-Junction at the perineum, kinda going to either side of bulbospongiosus muscles.Now, the asshole itself isn't a triangle, so you shouldn't always draw it like one, it's more of a shape that can result from the ass cheeks pressing in on it.But it can be helpful to visualize that you can place the asshole in the indent where the top of the pussy or the male perineum merge into the ass crack, which happens to be sort of triangular.
>>85434501I got one from twitter some time agohttps://x.com/Valavarii/status/1623186500249690115?s=20
I have not been attentive to my drawing for some time now.I have been distracted, and my ability to enter anything even close to flow state shot. But I am trying.
>>85443254trying is more than enough. I'm just glad you still draw.
>>85431657Thanks anon. Though I realized I got a lot more than just the back incorrect, probably gonna just try drawing it again from scratch. Ugh, very frustrating, probably just gonna work on rendering and finishing the frontside view first.
Another day of drawing stuff I don't really care about...
western art really is sloppa I look at art on twitter and I draw bad but I look at art from japan feeds and it's all good and I draw better seeing it
I saw a design I liked so I’m yoinking what I liked of it, but a long way to go.
is everyone here a furry
>>85450955>goes to furry board>is everyone here a furryno clue to be honest desufam
>>85450989wait this board is a furry board I thought it was just random shit.
>>85451026its the only board (excluding /b/) that furry smut is allowed so its as close as it gets
>>85451077ohhh. That makes so much more sense.
>>85450955I've only draw humans and a grand total of 3 dragons.
>>85450955This is the furry board kind of but I do a little bit of everything.
>>85450955no i just smoke weed
>>85450955do monkeys count
>>85450955I guess? I've never drawn human art and I go to art school
>>85451684do you go to a furry art school
>>85451796No but I had a classmate about a year ago that drew some aviation advert with a furry woman that was presented at a critique. I suspect they were a porn artist. That might be mean to say but what they drew was practically a pinup
I have no idea where all the time goes when im doing this shit. I need to stop taking so many "Mini breaks" when doing this shit
Jesus, I hate this. Day after day of drawing with nothing to show for it. I feel like I've lost something. I'm just spinning the wheels with no purpose.What the fuck do I do now
>>85453140draw what you want, even if it's bad
>>85431145You should post another one!>>85453140On days like those what i do is draw something that i know i can get right with no much effort. Like a 3/4 view portrait or a character I've drawn a lot.
>>85452037>That might be mean to say but what they drew was practically a pinupTo be fair, aviation and pinups have a long history together so there's a good justification to hide behind. Wouldn't be the first time something of that sort goes to get crap past the radar. I should know, I'm quite guilty of it myself, heh.
>>85453904Cute
>>85453173>>85453651This is what I do. I've been doing nothing but what I want and stuff I'm familiar with, but also stuff that's new or a little challenging. The issue isn't drawing, it's just finding something that I want to finish. I feel like there's no meaning to what I'm doing. I'm just doing it to do it. Like I've gotten myself stuck into a niche and I don't know how to free myself.
>>85430151I've been pretty busy with school so I haven't had time to post and I'm not sure if you guys want to see my lame cartoon stuff anyway
hello /dig/. I have just awoken.
30 second gestures
I should really learn to zoom OUT when drawing digitally. I'm not sure how I let myself draw this pixelated mess.
We live again
>>85411689Simply replying to this just to say I fucking hate Google Images. It's swamped with AI Dragons.
How do I even draw something? Everytime I sit down to draw I lose all my energy 30 minutes after and get a bad mood. I can't finish anything and it feels bad. It wasn't like that 2 years ago.
>>85478888Getting old
>>85477104Which is why you want to specify that you're looking for dragon figurines for sale, should cut down on the AI genned results significantly. You might also want to consider actually buying one you really like and looking at it as a physical object so you can draw it from whatever angle you like.
Didn’t feel like using the fancy paper today.Took some liberties with the forearm things and the “wings”, but I don’t hate those decisions. Good lord, the human back is a travesty.Tried to keep the subtleties of the posture right.Any observations?
Improve.
just a lil something for practice
>>85487559ooh, looking good my negro
is it worth making taboo nsfw content if it's partly what you want to make? I was very recently asked to do a comm for a niche I haven't done yet and I'm tempted, but I'm worried it'd come at the cost of what little reputation I have if people I know see it. I don't think I've made any of my nsfw too obscene yet, but I feel really guilty for just wanting to make it in the first place
>>85488251It can't be that bad, can it?
>>85488251if you dont want to do it, dont. If you want the money, just say it was a comission.
does that hikari dude still post here?
>>85488281There are some successful artists out there that are doing fine with it in their galleries, sure, but it could get you branded and shunned from places>>85488408This might be the way to go, though it'd be hard to explain regardless of context
>>85450933Finished it.
question. How tall am i allowed to make my OC if it's based on me.
>>85489706about 4 feet
>>85489817what if im 2 feet irl
>>85489878stretch the torso out until your 4 feet
>>85489706Why not just use your height? It also just doesn't matter, it's an OC. The world is your oyster.
>>85489706yeah just do this lol >>85490314. Shit I'm 6'4 and i made my self-insert OC 6'7 cause 6 7 funny
>>85490492Truly disgusting behavior.
I've never used the animation parts of this program so I did a little test.
>>85490923Really nice, I think it could use a single smear frame for the ball turning into a star. But this is more animation than I've ever done.
>>85490902
>>85489597Bruh I wanna commission you
ok my 60s gestures are getting nice. Think im ready to actually work on projects now.
>>85489597Oh, I missed this over the manlets talking below you. Very nice work. Beautiful lady.
>>85490923what program?
>>85491553Clip Studio Paint
New Thread?
>>85491054>I think it could use a single smear frame for the ball turning into a star.I agree but I was caught between wanting the star to be very sudden and wanting to finish quickly because I did this with a mouse.
