It's gonna take years for me to catchup..
>>85699338i mean the country wide range bans are not helping
>>85700291Country wide bans?
Bump
does seriously no one else post here
Just trying to copy some poses from photos and I have barely any idea of what I'm doing. Not sure if I keep going I'll improve or I'm doing something incorrect.
>>85700291excuse me whator is this about imagebans
What the hell the thread dieded? I decided on what I wanted to work on for the weekend. Then next week... Femboy abs practice.
>>85703994how long will he be at this level
>>85704157God I hope its not another several years
How do you guys deal with external factors affecting your art game? For a long while I've had to deal with the stresses of living at home with parents in the midst of a messy divorce, and every single day it gets worse and worse. It's affected my enjoyment of a lot of things but the worst has been my art productivity. I still make myself draw stuff, but as far as postable work, it's gone to 0. I keep at it hoping I'll make something worth what I used to, but I'm also recognizing that these conditions really are not conducive to real art from me. I've had some stressful situations in the past that have led to some fantastic art breakthroughs, but this time it feels all too heavy.
>>85704908I usually try to seperate my real life problems and my free time strictly. And usually try to get all the annoying shit i have to do out of the way first (work, chores, errands etc).

>>85705497>2k pagesImpressive.
Sorry I should have bumped but I also have no drawings
>>85704908Sorry you have to go through that. Hopefully things'll get sorted sooner rather than later and everybody settles into a new routine.As for the question, wish I had an answer. Between having to attend family functions, deal with various obligations and being a general go-getter handyman for my aging folks, I can scarcely find the time for random one-off projects, let alone anything more deeply involved. Most of my free time is spent on relaxation, since I can't predict the exact moments I have to drop everything for God knows how long until I'm free again. I've often considered the merits of becoming a hermit, but that path just ain't feasible financially.
Sad bump
Using binary brushes because its the only way to actually use the bucket tool without annoying white edgesMaybe I will autisticly obsess over Renamon because I have seen other autists only draw a single character over and over and get gud that way>>85704908Ive quit drawing for a year or two before because work makes me want to kill myself so no idea how to deal with it besides just giving it time
>>85707839New poster?
Everyone mogs me
This range ban is not fun.>>85707839>binary toolThats a very crispy and sexy Renamon. I use binary for mostly the same reason too. I think having a muse that you want to draw is a good way to stay motivated. Drawing yoshis 90% of the time has certainly helped me, though this year has been kind of bad due to external factors. Keep it up!
Some more scribbles
And a test for something I want to do later.
>>85702133This is just my opinion, but drawing is like a sort of alchemy. You must craft your own method, and not every subject of drawing uses the same one; you have to find a method that resonates with you. My current method is a combination from various teachers and sources. Starting with wireframes and center points is alright.That said, as a suggestion, you should start with visualizing shapes. My favorite teacher for this is Vilppu, but you can do Drawabox or whatever—again, just find a teacher that resonates with you.>>85707839Autist here. I don't know about the 'get gud' part, but it is a lot of fun!
Inktober day 4: cactus>>85702133Just do a mix of drawing from reference and reading/watching through guides and tutorials. Latter is useful and to some extend necessary for figuring out what to look for in a reference, but ultimately you learn by putting hours to drawing.
>>85700512>>85702569not imagebansjust randomly getting banned and requiring resets every few hours requiring making emails for it
What's up diggers?
>>85704908You gotta solve the external factors, bro. It's entirely normal for bad life circumstances to affect things, from your mood, to your motivation, to whatever and everything else. That's how your mind tries to redirect energy to solving the immediate stressor, so that you can return to baseline.I hate to say it, but focusing on OTHER things aside from that immediate stressor, will generally only make things worse. You have to fix, or expunge, the situation.
>>85699161We live
>>85711782nta butgood pointim gonna rot in bed tho
I've been working on art for a dnd character, I guess I have to start with something.

>>85720267hello
>>85699161Think I'm gonna call this one unless I get second thoughts about any changes.
>>85721192Yellow bleeding out of the toes?
>>85720534
>>85721308That's somewhat intentional. Trying to go for the classic comic book look. Bit of wabi sabi with the coloring.
Atleast we got some activity
>>85721417I'm not art enough to fully understand that sentence yet but I did see the bit on her right knee which due to the lines looks like fur tuft but the bits around toes just look like a printing press error to me in comparison
