i dont have the image but do you draw /v/idya fanart?
no i use ai
>>736783193you didn't beat the game
>>736783009Yeah
i always had the urge to practice and become a twitter artist, but with AI now dominating the sector, that urge has wholly vanished
>>736783009No. At best I've made shitty edits
I aint got time
>>736783361If you just draw for money or attention on twitter, you will never make it.You cannot be a good artist unless you have a massive folder of drawings you just drew for yourself.Art is a hobby first and a career second.
Not vidya but it is fanart/ Does it look any decent at least?
Ya. Shitty example but wanted to post this cuz the old "draw in paint" thread got archived before I could post it.
>>736783690This. If you don't love drawing you will never be good.>>736783696Honestly looks really good! Linework is a bit messy and anatomy can be improved a bit, but that can all be fixed with a 2nd go over the linework.
>>736783285sovl!

>>736783009Drawing is the only skill I'm not sure how to learn. It seems nigh-impossible to get into if you don't find it at least a little bit intuitive. I don't know how to identify whatever it is I'm supposed to be trying to mark with lines, and I can't imagine what a drawing of any given subject would look like (even if the subject is right in front of me,) so I have no means of telling whether anything I'm doing is right or wrong. I can't even trace a photohraph because I just don't get how to use lines as a medium.
>>736783963If you can write on paper then you can drawWriting the letter A is drawing
>>736783009I used to, but I took a break for a while.Niche question for help, I got an ipad for Christmas and it's pretty good for drawing, but I don't like the drawing programs on it. I tried procreate and while I can do hand exercises on there just fine, I can't get into the feeling of drawing. Something isn't clicking like I used to with Paint Tool Sai, where now I can't click with it because I'm spoiled by the ipad's lagless and crisp interface and switched to MS Paint. Nowadays the only way I can draw is with paper and pencil.TL:DR Is there any program on the ipad that's good for drawing that's not procreate?
>>736783009I used to draw when I was a kid. I think I could become okay at it if I tried. But I can't be bothered actually spending time learning something.
>>736783009Sometimes but that's because I have no idea what to draw most of the time
>>736783985>If u can walk two steps, you can sprint an entire marathon
>>736784028Exactly
>>736783985Everyone says my handwriting is awful though.
>>736783009yeah but lately I've been feeling kinda burnt out>>736783696pretty good sketch, keep it up
>>736783963I've seen you posting this same drivel for years. I'm sure that if you just drew trying to copy anime girls or whatever you would have gotten somewhere
>>736783009I've started drawing traditionally againI've tried drawing digitally for over a year now but I just can't get comfortable with it
How do I get good at lineart in csp?I bumped up the dpi to 300, but everything still looks like a jagged piece of shit.
>>736783992Ibis paint?
>>736784582Anti aliasing
some great art in here. proud of all of you, as an aspiring procrastinator who is too afraid to share his art yet.
>>736783193grim
what are you waiting for?
What happened to the drawfag threads? How else am i gonna get ratjaks comissioned?
>>736784538really cute! i struggle with digital too
>>736783751Anatomy is what I want to improve alongside exaggerating some features but idk how exactly to exaggerate. Wish my sketches looked as clean as other artists though.>>736784234Danke.

I do, but not well

>>736784812It was moved to trash or vg
You guys should draw two cards
>>736783361>I wanted to be a lifeless wanker that let likes and updoots dictate what to drawWhy
>>736783009>>736784707Just a shitty doodle attached to my request in the begging thread in /vg/. Sure I scribbled it on mspaint myself, but the point of drawthreads WAS having an idea materialized in better form by better hands than what you'd get by your own hands.
>>736784987You can be a twitter artist without caring about likes
>>736783361Good riddance. With art grifters getting btfo by slop, drawing can return to being a hobby rather than a means of hoarding clicks and patreonbux.
>>736783009I drew this golisopodhttps://litter.catbox.moe/uu0fos2sq4zaq09u.png
>>736783992Sick
It's the weekend, cmon, draw a little.
yes but im drunk sorry
>>736784028nobody sprints a marathon I think you should go back to school first actually.
>>736783285can you draw noelle's bare feet
>>736784839thank you! and yeah, I've basically just given up on it at this point
i need to discipline myself to practice more often

Big Marisa I scribbled last night
>>736783009
>>736783009is fun with a pencil actually worth reading through or is it just a meme? I want to get into 3d art but no characters I like use a full turn around. just front poses at best or what is roughly a posed image references instead.
>>736788247https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Fgm63j9r0
>>736785038>but the point of drawthreads WAS having an idea materialized in better form by better hands than what you'd get by your own hands.>why yes, i guzzled down gallons of james koolaid and semen. how could you tell?The point of drawthreads was to be a place where drawfags could come for inspiration, not to be a place where entitled cheapskates could act like they're owed free commissions.
I guess. It's not really worth posting.
my latest drawing only got 1 like and 50 views after 3 days
>>736788778I'm happy the request threads were thrown into /vg/ and the requesters have to now pretend they always wanted to be in /vg/ "because /vg/ has more posts per minute and there might be new artists coming by". They fucking admitting their only chance to fool drawfag to draw for them is if the drawfag has no idea of the true nature of the request threads.
>>736788374Well you are expected to APPLY the Fun with A Pencil into things you want to draw. I don't think it's enough if you try to just read it as if it was some chore to do. It has many pages but it's mostly pictures and guidance. Actually what the fuck are we wasting time talking about ithttps://archive.org/details/andrew-loomis-fun-with-a-pencil here it is, now go.
i used to draw every day man. what the fuck happened
I exclusively draw busts at a 3/4th angle like the talentless hack I am but I enjoy it so I'm not particularly perturbed about my lack of talent at doing anything else
>>736783361I want to draw to make endless porn, but for the life of me I cannot sit through the basics for longer than a day. Can you tell this is supposed to be Heather Mason?
>>736789342>I want to draw to make endless porn, but for the life of me I cannot sit through the basics for longer than a day.Same but instead of porn I want to draw cute things. I wish I had discipline and some semblance of talent.
>>736788374I started with FWAP years ago and I fucking HATED IT when starting from 0. Did I really have to learn all this bullshit just to start drawing sexy anime girls? However, I revisited the book years later and found it fun. The exercises really do help you think in 3d while staying 2d. I don't think it's something you visit as a total newbie, but more like "I've been copying and drawing what I like for a few months and I'm stuck trying to improve", it does contain a lot of useful info.
>>736788294Looks like Okina
>>736788247Even if it took a day AI subhumans would still resort to slop.
>>736789236Me...
>>736783009Drawing video games is gay
>>736783595Could you please sit down?
>>736783009AHHH I have to go to my waggie job instead of drawing....
>>736789031I don't even get likes for my NSFW trash even after 100 views, it feels abysmal knowing that many people saw it and collectively agreed that it sucked.
>>736789031What site? If actual art sites, you didnt use tags correctly. If algorithm based social media, the algorithm didnt know to whom to push you
Funny guy
>>736789505Probably because of the hat and the whole hag aesthetic.Invincible Marisa always reminded me of Yukari.
>>736788778It's honestly sad that requesters completely forgot the entire point of what a request is.>>736788950You don't post something for others, you post something for yourself, part of starting to love yourself as an artist is understanding that your art has as much right of being online as anything else, regardless of its quality.
>>736789580I never knew Zach said this, profound quote
>>736784538>>736784839One thing I learned a while back was basically to treat digital and traditional as both different mediums of drawing. I know it seems kind of obvious, but trying to replicate a more traditional look of drawing will never feel like drawing on paper and how it looks. The traditional hand drawn look can be achieved digitally, but not without some extensive effort and as naturally as traditional.That always seemed to be my issue with digital art.
>>736789692Lambda sex sex
>>736788778Drawthreads are fucking embarrassing. I dont know how you get that many people to spam requests for that long when there’s only like three or less requests fulfilled per thread (and the artists often suck), and somehow the requesters all feel like theyre important and in charge and will go apeshit if you post your own art there without it being requested
>>736789679You draw that anon? I really love the style. It reminds me of something that would've been on early 2010s cable, and I say that with genuine endearment.
>>736789827>I dont know how you get that many people to spam requestsHaha, imagine if it was just 2 guys posting 90% of the requests across different boards' drawthreads competing on which one gets more deliveries. That would be just absurd and there'd be no way anyone would dedicate all their wake hours to try score free art
>>736789857Yes and thanks :)
I drew my OC yesterday
>>736789479>disciplineIt's a must. Draw every day or die.>talentOverrated. Most artists don't have an ounce of talent. They either work their asses off to get better, or somehow manage to thrive with their dogshit skill level.
>>736789692>forgotMore like got brainwashed. Or groomed as the kids say these days."if you repeat something long enough, people will think it's true" isn't just a catchy phrase for pseudo intellectuals. It's bloody real, and it's the reason james managed to fool every drawthread newfag into believing drawthreads are supposed to be beg central. When the veterans leave in disgust, there's noone around to tell the newfags they're getting pysop'ed.To me, the most disgusting part is that the mods can't be assed to do anything about it despite having the means to do so. They can see his posting history and expose all his FUD tactics and relentless samefagging but they choose to do nothing, except every once in a blue moon when a mod get sufficiently annoyed and nukeban him. Which is why he frequently does pre-emptive banevading to prevent all his spam getting nuked in one go.

>>736789634most of those might be bots or just people scrolling by without noticing.100views is just not much. gotta figure out how to reach more people.
>>736790328Just to make sure that you are a drawfag and not the other request spammer, include this (You) to some middle layer of your current wip and take a screenshot of it. Would be embarrassing if you were a no-draw pretending to be drawfag.

>>736790413>more FUD shitI never claimed to be a drawfag. That's a strawman you're using to shit up discussion, as per your usual FUD tactics. Please kill yourself.
>>736790362From memory
DUDE did you correctly remark on an error in my drawing? Post your work so i can insist its garbage in retaliation no matter the quality, try to attack your career and website, and convince myself the quality of an art piece can only be measured by an audience member who is better than you (not that you admit he often is)
>>736790889Mindbroken
>>736790840nice
>>736784812>How else am i gonna get ratjaks comissioned?Go to social media of your choice or vgen or skeb or pixiv. Find an artist with commissions open. Commission them.
>>736783361Coulda-woulda-shoulda. There are a lot of people in love with the romantic idea of being a successful and beloved artist, but most of the time it isn't like that, even when you're good and successful. You weren't gonna do shit no matter what.
>>736790362
>>736790542So what are you doing in this thread other than posting about your rival requester?
>>736791385>keeps trying with the strawmanPlease kill yourself.
>>736783009i very occasionally draw for tdm or other definitely on topic threadsi'm not very good but i'm better than i was a few years ago
>>736791526Very cute critters, I like the rabbit
I’ve drawn every day of this year without missing a SINGLE day!

>>736791860Your playing as mom from the binding of Issac in that game
>>736791915shieet
>>736785078UWAHHHHHHH WHY DO THEY GET MONEY AND ATTENTION AND I DONT?!!?!?ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>736785078Lmfao the resentment people have against people who know how to draw, for being able to draw when and what they want, and try to make a career of it, is baffling.
>>736793215Lot of vocal anons are failures blaming their situation anyone else but themselves. If someone uses 4chan, the same site they do, and is successful, it makes them feel bad about themselves and all they can do is lash out in their crab mentality meltdown.
>>736783009Tend to doodle the busty waifus of vidya every so often.
>>736785078>can return to being a hobby One which you have never actually performed or participated in, and by ‘returning to a hobby’ you mean you want artists to make more of the art you specifically like on a schedule for free?
>>736793374For sure. They are also porn addicts and consoomers who have the same relationship with artists as john has with a prostitute who will no longer accept his business. They act like abusive exes not realizing that they are having an anger attack because another man won’t help them jack off
>>736790362she has an IQ of 3 but she tries her best and that's what matters
>>736793747The people who are lashing out at career artists were not buying their work anyway. I pointed this out before and was met with crickets, and a lot of seethe. It's broke beggars having malevolent fantasies of harm, who were never in a position to withhold money in the first place. They were literally never a part of the market and never will be.
I used to, got pretty good at it, then ai happened and I gave up, deleted most of my art on pixiv so there's too little left to steal- I mean (((train))) from it, and I moved on.
>>736793947this is what aijeets spend their days posting

>>736794074failed, retard
>>736793947I too am a literal Michelangelo, and I also gave in to soulcrushing despair and deleted all proof of my brilliance because of computer. I also have a very large penis and I do not smell of curry.
>>736794061I was about to ask whatever do you mean by this but I don't care especially if you think I'm lying or something.I still draw from times to times but the fact that I can no longer share anything on the internet because of the aiggers breaks my heart. I hate the people who claim that nothing bad totally didn't happens are the worst.>>736794316whatever.
>>736793890Yep lol. Cracks me up watching them go apeshit when someone quits or takes a gallery down. They really want to kill those people and all agree it shouldn’t be allowed lol
>>736794350Youre being coy
This week's thread sucks, the guns got posted too late, still no drawpile post, wrong opening image, most posts are just arguing about nothing, step it up.
>>736794802they would rather argue instead of DRAW
>>736794802Oh go draw something you tertiary
>>736788778Someone finally gets it, the people posting the same ideas for months or even years can't comprehend that their ideas are shit and nobody wants to touch them, they keep posting the same dog shit over and over again hoping someone will eventually bite the bait instead of getting the memo
>>736788168why?
I drew this entirely on windows10 MSPaint.
>>736795479pretty obvious when you compare requests with a unique/compelling premise that get multiple replies from drawfags to the resident vagrants shamelessly begging for anyone to draw their favoured lolis + waifus in some compromising outfit/position with no bites for weeks/months/years. drawthreads on /v/ might've stuck around if the trash was properly euthanized, but they weren't sooooooo
i drew this medabot because it looked cool ingame
i posted this on r9k, the interaction between Sanic and Omega from Sanic CWR. I thought it was funny so I made this.I choked just before Plat and fell back down to Silver.
the fact is that drawthreads are a leftover from a different planet and the internet has completely shifted. letting them stay on the /v/ catalog in that state was basically cargo cult behavior.
>>736796173Its better to just go to threads of characters you like and do requests with likeminded anons.Shoutouts to all my kyojiri brethren

>>736796956Have you tried drawing weird fetish porn that you like? You don't have to post it (in fact you definitely shouldn't), but draw it and fap to it. I think it's a good way to build up your draw confidence.

>>736796441Problem is the flavor of the month aspect. Trends and fads come and go with new games that grab all the attention away from shotlived games/characters or are drowned out and pushed into archives by constantly bumped shill threads.

>>736797297Oh, i drew that because some anon was complaining about drawing alone in a drawpile session and he was drawing a Wario dressed as Violator from Spawn, so i did that to cheer him up.
>>736797739You’ve overthought it. Just draw whats in your head
>>736797739>"Just draw"The idea is that you are supposed to put yourself in a position where you stop worrying, that is exactly what picking a pencil, listening to some nice music and getting lost in the flow is, that is what "just draw" means, if the process isn't fun, then there's no point in doing it.
narlobrother
>>736789031Posting your drawing here so we can harshly judge it. Also, why do you care so much about views and likes? Did you enjoy creating it? Are you the kind of faggot that complains when a game on steam doesn't have achievements? Who gives a fuck and just enjoy yourself.
>>736797964This post sounds tough-love supportive but its actually willful helplessness
>>736797939soul
>>736797897>>736797903Probably yeah. I think my problem is that I've broken my brain's relationship with drawing. I got anxious about learning properly, so I've created the negative association that drawing is difficult work that's not fun, and every session is a potential fuckup where I make a mistake and do it wrong.I hate being one of those people that whines and complains because "ohh it's so hard, poor me", but fuck. I told yself that I was going to restart in the year, now it's fucking APRIL.
>>736798172Turn off your brain and you will still have the skills you practiced without having to labor on them
>>736798221Kay, where's the off switch?
>>736798172Nta but just sit down and doodle with pencil brush and draw something you would like to draw if you had all the skill in the world. It doesnt need to look good, it just needs to represent what you would want to draw. The cringier, the better.
>>736797264Not a big issue for me to be honest.I only draw the same 3 characters nonstop.Maybe a fotm once in a blue moon if it pushes my buttons
>>736798172The secret nobody tells you is that you actually need to put less effort when studying and practicing than when you actually make a drawing you like, you don't have to copy an entire anatomy book as accurately as you can, sometimes you pick it up, read it a bit, and do some mindless sketches off it, your brain will passively absorb the information, maybe not instantly, but like with everything, your brain updates after you take a good night of sleep.
>>736783009How to actually learn to draw?
>how loomis
>>736783009Sometimeshttps://files.catbox.moe/4nxq9d.png
>>736798474This makes sense intuitively, and fuck I hope it's true. I see everyone around me doing all sorts of impressive-looking practice all the time, looking like they have a study schedule and all that, and get it in my head that I need to be hitting the books. Will I really be okay if I just do it casually and skimp out on my studies?
>>736798474the biggest secret? Trapezoids (not boxes) and cutting everything into threes knowing correct Kanji stroke order each time helps because its for perfect smooth brush strokes anyway to get clear lines. This is what Japanese artists won't ever tell you.
>>736798295Sit still and close your eyes and when thoughts come to you, hear them and let them go, doing nothing. Do not repeat them when they are felt, dont select a word out of the thought, dont willfully generate a second thought out of the first one. Listen to your mind as the separate entity it is from you who embraces or ignores the thought, At least practice these things, its not a problem if this doesnt come immediately easy, though it can. You will notice and discover your own power to essentially be thinking nothing no matter how much is in your brain.

don't draw, bro.
These threads actually motivated me to draw something each day. I'm on day 13 now.Looks like stick figure and unrecognizable garbage and I think I should put a bit more structure into this. I did attempt a bit of fwap but I feel like I am too trash to get much out of it yet.Is pic related good, I see it often recommended too aside from fwap. Did anyone here work with it?
>>736798761It's all white drawn in light line. It's way too simple and nothing in it would make me stop scrolling to take better look at it and engage.You need to put in more effort, more contrast, more interest. It's very lazy. Anatomy is good enough but execution is lacking. You wanted people to be interested with something you yourself wasn't interested to actually finish.
>>736798554>loomisA book that tries to teach you like if you already were an artist.
>>736798885Read it. What's the worst thing that could happen?
>>736798761Its unfinished my friend. A sketch of a draft
>>736798946There's a rendered version with a lazy background, but it's too lewd to post here. Thanks for the crit though, you're right about the interest thing.
>>736798885It felt like the most helpful book I studied from, for whatever reason. Can't go wrong with it, imo.
>>736798645The main point of practice is to understand, once you "get it" you'll start seeing it in other people's drawings, in real life and then everything will turn into "practice". You don't need to do fully detailed studies unless you want to redefine later on when you are more comfortable or want to start making an encyclopedia of self made references to access, you can also just study things when necessity arises instead of doing everything at once.
requesting something to draw.
>>736798991if you don't have the basic cognitive function to figure out loomis its ngmi im afraid
>>736799236only studies worth a damn are for color theory application and how to get a good looking finished artpiece especially with digital arts.
>>736798991I tried starting with FWAP and couldn't get very far with it, but his method is solid. I watched some videos that break it down and that worked much better for me.
>>736799236Huh, I was actually doing something similar to this, but I bullied myself into thinking it was the wrong way.One thing that's really going to help is forming a habit. If I have a "I should draw after dinner" routine or smth, it'll be much easier to maintain it.
>>736799436Fun with a Pencil seems like an unhelpful "how to draw x step-by-step worksheet set that doesn't consider how to actually teach drawing to anyone.
>>736799463Not "I should" that leaves room for doubt into your head. "I shall"; either you do or you don't.
>>736797739>>736798172I'm in such a similar boat. I've always wanted to learn how to draw, but every time I attempt to, my brain sabotages me so hard that I'm pretty sure I've Pavlov's dogged myself into feeling bad whenever I even doodle. The brain is a hell of a thing.
>>736797739>>736799552the raped
>>736799552There are probably underlying problems that cause it. Like, it's not "I can't draw", it's "I struggle to draw because I'm depressed and unmotivated or smth".What did you last draw, boat anon?
>>736788374If you already know how to use construction lines don't bother. That's the whole purpose of the book.
>>736797739this cycle has happened to me every few years ever since I gained an interest in drawing during middle school and it's fucking frustrating. doesn't help that improvement largely feels intangible in the early stages. at least with something like exercise, I can physically feel when I can run for a longer stretch of road without winding myself or perform additional reps on a given exercise without straining myself if I apply myself for even a few days, and it feels fantastic. the gains from drawings feel much less apparent in comparison, and it eventually leads to me dropping it out of annoyance before picking it up again a few years later
>>736798761Not bad. I expected far worse. Now clean it up, pussy!

Most of mine were for a MSP thread, but I’m planning to doodle some more over the weekend:https://imgpile.com/p/ZcxAgyRAlso some Playtime requests I don’t think I’ve shared here.
>>736800063>>736797172
>>736798591Doe…
>>736783009Damn, no rat.
Probably dumb girl
>>736790362i played the Blue Shift remake mod for Black Mesa. It was alright (i enjoyed it better than the original), didn't like that they nerfed the hell out the hell out of every weapon.
>>736800240Is first one Nobeta? At first I thought Carol with the darker hair but outfit is closer to what I remember Nobeta having.
>>736783009No I draw from loli doujins
>>736783009I wish i was
>>736800290
>>736800335Yeah
>>736798591She looks like she smells good
>>736800441Hmmm?
>>736800409post crop of the art
I recently drew a ratkin pawn i recruited in my modded Rimworld run.
>>736798074>care more about what you do instead of Twitter algorithm gacha slop>willful helplessness It's not even tough love at this point, it's telling him to stop being a faggot.
>>736783009good enough?
>>736798885>draw everydayI done this, and by day 30, I can see improvement.However, my issue I came to a point where I was drawing prettyclose to the original artists look that it takes more than a day to draw. This issue made me lost motivation , but at least, I draw pretty ok from a reference stand point
>>736783009>spend every waking second that I'm sitting at work thinking about working on my creative project and brainstorming awesome ideas>working on this stuff is basically all I care about and it's all I actually want to do>the moment I get home on the weekend I have to force myself to start actually doing it and it's like trying to lift a car and then I can't stick to it at all for more than like 20 minutes>somehow the entire weekend goes by and I do literally nothing the entire time, don't even play any vidya just do literally nothing somehow>repeat the cycle next weekwhat the FUCK is wrong with me? Is it just non-meme ADHD? How do I break this cycle of endless torment
>>736799436I had an issue where it felt more like I was just copying the steps and pictures he made than actually learning the process and meaning behind them, so i stopped.
>>736800864This is the point where you go see someone and get diagnosed.
>>736800618I prefer them with clothes
>>736799903>when you n'ut but she still suckin.
>>736800790Ah, I didn't really save a good screencap of her ingame. Best one I have.
>>736800804And you intend to do this by denying all aspects of quality and presentability, saying nothing he does in the piece matters so long as he’s smiling? Just browbeating a man for accurately noticing both he and his audience are unhappy with his work?
>>736800948And that's where the videos helped for me. They go into more depth instead of just saying "draw 10 trillion silly faces. you are now an artist."
>>736800982they look cute with clothes together
>>736800864I'm the same as you anon. Daydreaming about cool shit is so much fun but I end up just wasting all my free time on nothing.
>>736800804>instead of Twitter algorithm gacha slopIncredible how uppity some people are. You're literally crying about not being popular and then putting this air of superiority
>>736800838I feel like the thing to do from that point is to try and capture the essence of the reference more minimally and reduce it to matching form and gesture. And do it fast.That is what I am trying currently at least. And am stuck on.Don't listen to me though I'm just late beginner trash myself.
>>736800970I already am diagnosed with ADHD among other things but I never put any stock into it and only actually took meds for it for like 2 weeks when I was 12 and now I don't have a psychiatrist and it seems physically impossible to get in with a new one to try and get meds again and I'm starting to think it might be real and a large factor of many of my problems but I guess I'll just go fuck myself thanks to the state of murican healthcare since covidthank you for reading my blog
>>736801502but is she hot?
the point of "just draw bro" is to explain with as much brevity as possible what to do and circumvent all this pseud armchair psychologist motivational bullshit>i cant draaaaawwww because uhhh i smoke meth every dayokay so kill yourself and stop posting on the draw thread
>>736801550What did you mean by this anon
Fairly pissy girl
>>736800864Same.
I doodle on my way to workI doodle in secret at workI doodle on the way back from workI draw when I get home from work I only play video games on the weekends
>>736801484Yeah, I get it. For me, I gave up the "drawing a day" and just change certain things from the og artists to improve on my own artistic limits for example.>>736800982For this one I made the right girl chin smaller but a more curve at the bottom, instead of the classic "shovel" look. Along with some other changes.You can sense the og artists priority or even their weakness on certain parts, usually hands (I'm no different)
>>736801663the psychiatrist. like you just go there and say 'awooga' while they talk?
Probably willie nelson
>>736801780Somehow no psychiatrist or neurologist I've ever seen has been even slightly attractive
>>736799303B-but my mom said i was a gmi!
A while back I drew Venti's human from RuneFactory4, but as more of a dragon than human instead of human with dragon accessories.
>>736802032Draw a Loomis head of Mariel
>>736783009Sometimes but it's been a while since I've had time and motivation to lock in and grind fundamentals so I just work on random pieces for fun for now
>>736800982Great choice of reference, anon. Meramera jealousy's one of my earliest loli faps. Feels good bwing able to somehow identify his work despite not looking at it for more than a decade.As for fanart, I haven't made any progress aside from planning some alts for another loli snuff image set since I'm trying and failing to make Leryn/Lucy as a starting team work.Super happy I found a mod that allows combatant Lucy outside her specific challenge mode.

>>736802371I'm not a foot fag but nice feetie
>>736790362one of the characters I recently played as..
>>736788778There is only 1 thing I feel entitled to and that's a get. If the artist says they'll draw whatever if I land a get and I do but they then back out, that's bitch-like. Otherwise I agree, nobody is entitled to an artist's works on a suggestion thread.
>>736789342This is what I want to draw, but look at the difference in quality! Damn it, why was I born a lazy fucking asshole?only half-serious, i know what i need to do
>>736803783just rip the frames with that gif extractor and trace over each frame of her boob in a program with layers
Where's the drawpile?
>>736783009I tried to both learn to draw and make 3d models for a few months during the coof and the main thing that makes me incapable of learning is that there is no clear path to learn, for example to learn maths you learn addition and subtraction then multiplication and division and then you keep going to the next level but there is no such thing for art.
>>736784538Traditional is more fun. Digital for cleaner results. But i find it easier to just take my drawing board whenever i feel like it and listen to a podcast in between or play some games and continue whenever i have to wait without having to fuck around with tabs or programs.
>>736797843This shit was actually the nail in the coffin that made me decide to never make a twitter account to post my art in.I'm not even from a third world shit hole, I just dont want people to know where I'm from, it's annoying.
I made a new thread because I didn't recognize the OP image, oops. Also there's no drawpile or anchor post this thread more than halfway to bump limit.
>>736797739>draw something>think it just might be alright>look at it the next day>"wow, this is shit, I need to improve">repeat
>>736805047Those rituals are not the point of this thread and never have been. Just share vidya art you make. That is all.
>>736805172Same but with>it looks fine time for the next dra->spent day after day trying to improve it again
>>736802371BASED
>>736789031What's worse is delivering art for a thread, and you only get 1-2 replies. That can be absolutely brutal.
>draw something>looks good>look at it the next day>its shit>draw something>looks like shit>look at it the next day>looks alright
>try coding>fail>try blender>fail>try drawing>failMaybe I should try killing myself?
>>736802371
>>736805172>stuck on something and have redrawn a part multiple times>give up for now and think "wow this is fucking dogshit">wake up next day>"wow this is fucking good" and continue workingI am a victim of my own success.
>>736805606you'd just fail and become a tortured tetraplegic

I'm making a Milf bikini Amaterasu for golden week, here's a recent WIP https://litter.catbox.moe/z9pwv0bfn305rsm3.png
>>736805606https://youtu.be/BQ4yd2W50No?si=jbNFWsWSq1WaSlVz
>>736805671BASED
>>736805789Well damn, glad you like it bro. I'm having fun making it!
>>736804962Older manga sometimes have these really pretty watercolour pages, back before they all went full digital. I used to dislike watercolours as a kid, but reading these pages and paying attention to the colouring has really made me want to try traditional drawing and painting myself. The only thing stopping me right now is that I keep forgetting to buy the means when I go shopping.
>>736806107You'd love Alex Ross's comics. Kingdom come is a great story but is capped off by having absolute godlike art.
>>736800790So fucking cute. Though maybe her pussy should be a little further back, the belly should be covering and in front of it more.
Meant for the Audino thread before it got nuked
>>736789031Somehow this did well on Xitter and it happened around the time the strikes on Iran happened so I figured the algorithm decided to be patriotic at the moment. When I posted Fuji Kiseki I went back to being small numbers
>>736806904I love her. Want Pokemon tummy to feed and bury myself in
how do i learnt to draw? kthxbai
>>736805027For me it was the "give us your private info so we can dox you when we inevitably get hacked and data breached again or you can't see nsfw posts"
wish I had time again to go on /v/ /co/ draw threads and do random requests.
Good open source drawing app for android? I run degoogled
>>736807134My xitter I use to lurk art got hacked and banned, and I genuinely don't know how it happened. How does you password just get extracted from the aether like that?
>>736807120Just draw, howie.
>>736807213infinite painter
>>736807120you put the tip of the pencil under your big toe nail and kick the wall
>>736807230It's possible your email might be compromised if you use the same password everywhere. As in, some list on the darkweb says x email uses y password and then people can try and use that to log into your accounts.
>>736807259what should I draw. I like landscapes and ass and women
>>736806202Googled him, and yeah, this shit looks mind-blowing, going to have to give it a read. It's unbelievable the eye some people develop for colours, and then apply that understanding perfectly page after page after page, knowing you don't get do-overs with watercolours. Actual fucking wizards.Franco-belgian (and other european, by extension) comics were always close to my heart, and they also tend to display lots of competent watercolours throughout. Rereading some of them, I keep mentally kicking myself for completely glossing over the colour work for all these years. All of a sudden I find myself studying them instead of just consuming them.
>>736783595if you got time to post you got time to uh... uhh....
>>736807384Maybe. In any case it got me to enable 2-factor authentication for my Pixiv, which is the actually important account.
>>736807491holy shit
>>736783009Catbox is being a nuisance.Quick doodle: https://litter.catbox.moe/aknbe10im3s7pzrx.png
>>736807639really nice!
>>736783009Been drawing umas for the uma threads for the past months. It's been very comfy.https://files.catbox.moe/esyopg.png
>>736805671she cute. I kneel
I do but I refuse to publish anything until laws regarding training ai change. until then, my stick figures of sonic and knuckles kissing will remain only mine
>>736808005Do you really think sloppers will use 4chan threads full of varying quality doodles for training?
>>736807491Yeah, Ross is one of those once-in-a-generation talents like Richard Williams, Kentaro Miura, Alan Moore, and Jean Giraurd. I need to read more comics. The /co/ storylines got me to buy the Usagi Yojimbo hardcover box set, but I want to finish reading all of Alejandro Jodorowsky's "Incal" comics first. Also love Bill Watterson. It's great to look at all that stuff for artistic inspiration, it revs up the fire of passion in me seeing what's possible to create.
>>736808145it's about sending a message
>>736783009Hey it's weekend! Come draw with /v/ in Drawpile, let's fill the canvas with our doodles, everyone is welcomed!https://abstract.moe/vdraws/
>>736807895Based
How do you find energy to draw after wagecage the whole day?
>>736808217>>736783009Last week on /v/ draws...Full: https://litter.catbox.moe/b5m7zrj3scs1qrcu.png
>>736808145I'd be genuinely impressed by an AI that can slop out approximations of my work, because I simply won't use the same artstyle between drawings. I've had to have made close to 1,000 drawings on my computer by now and hardly any of them look the same.
>>736808005if a sloptist wants to use my shitty scribbles to train their goonerbait machine then that's their prerogative. I only draw for two reasons, my own happiness and the happiness of others around me (whether it be characters they like or their own OCs.)
>>736807137No you don't
>>736808217>>736808304Aw man, NOW it's up when I'm deadbeat tired and need a nap. I'll try and hop on in an hour, I want to blabber and hang out.
>>736807398Women showing their ass in beatiful landscape
>>736808303By drawing after waking up and before going to work. You won't have energy and focus after your work day so simply get up earlier just to draw.
>>736808304Those are some nice Carols.
>>736808390You are a genius, you should run for office
>>736806259Thanks! I try to tend to stay on the cute side of things even when it gets fetish-y.But yeah, very true. I think at the time i was a bit more concentrated on the spats than the whole anatomy of the drawing at large. When I do shit without reference, its on the same wavelength as vibe coding where I just roll with it and take note of it later if someone brings up an issue that I didnt initially see.
>>736808386It's always online, you can drop by anytime.
>>736783009I hate anime and when I get better I'm going to draw some shadowmen slaughtering all of the anons' waifus in the /beg/ threads
>>736808515
>>736783009>femalegross
>>736808598Oh no, please don't draw pictures of my waifu being in compromising situations, that would be just AWFUL ;)
Looking at my drawings hurts somehow. Maybe that's why i stopped.
>>736808598But I like ryona and guro.
>>736808598>when I get better I'm going to draw (...)
>>736808552I think I've spoken to you before, because I think you have drawn attractive round characters, I both praised it and gave critique about the shape in one piece and you graciously accepted it and mentioned other elements in the piece had your focus. If you are the guy then you are pretty cool and I hope you keep drawing.
I drew this a couple of days ago in the MSPaint thread! ^_^
>>736808728doesn't look bad anon, face and proportions look pretty good, drawing clothes is tricky
>>736809087Cute! it's what he deserves, really
>>736808728You chickenscratched outlines and you mindlessly drew some more lines. You didn't bring out form, you symbol drew the face. Like yeah, that is an anime face but you just slapped the features there without constructing and positioning them in 3d and in relation to each other. The hair and clothes lack the form and texture, the uncertain strokes are not your friend. Appealing anime neck is the width of arm. In reality necks tend to be wider, yeah, but for anime aesthetic female necks shouldn't go too wide. The pose is stiff, you went through the motions of outlining where everything is but there's no flow, there's no dynamic.Keep at it. You will improve only if you draw more and pay attention, be mindful. Remember, we are not just printing 2d map where every thing is. We are conveying something 3d in 2d form and we need the lines to convey the 3d form, depth, weight, material, distance, importance, gravity.The face and experssion show appeal and I can imagine you will be training your eye. Draw the lines with confidence. Wobbly lines can be used but you need to know how to use them. You can't hide your own uncertainity by adding some lines there just because, they need to have reason to be there and be like they are.And don't flinch at the critique. You can and will do better as long as you continue. Good job making it this far.
>>736797445>God's power defeated by a block of siliconAI is Iron Chariots 2.0
>>736809336This reads like LLM slop.
>>736808304Any idea who drew those Carols specifically?Would like to share them around without the other stuff.
>>736800982>meramera jealousyI kneel
>>736809914Spryavalanche
>>736810091Sweet. Thanks.
>>736783009I'm drawing Sonic surrounded by Eggman's weapons. I played SegaSonic (Arcade) and I never saw an Eggman so out for blood like that one, Sonic's 1st time being voiced and his only line was "WAAHHH!".
>>736805606Don't despair, anon.There's also fl studio, so you can fail at composing as well.
What do you guys think?
>>736802115Im at work but have this, the secret to draw anime-ish faces.
>>736808217If you can guess what link Diana just said, I'll post THAT. Only real hardcore Hyperborean Pragmata OGs will get this reference.
>>736807491I trust you have read pic related if you like Guarnido. Also check out Blast, by Larcenet, it's a fuggin' masterpiece. And anything drawn by Juan Gimenez.inb4>juan who?He drew this obscure thing called the meta barons. You may have heard of it.
>>736812140A link to 9gag of course.
>>736811689Its such a simple trick, but i love when artists blend shit into the background in styles like this (the dark parts of the spear melding with the pants).
>>736797739
>>736808217>>736783009Next week will be fun.
>>736813310I watched you spit that thing out in like 5 minutes, how do you do it?
me and my faithful wife
fun with a pencil is a meme, i have no idea why it gets suggested so much. Anatomy for sculptors is the best resource. I also like the book figure drawing by jake spicer. for beginners i suggest starting out with gesture drawing.
>>736807895Are you part of a /v/ club?
>>736814269why not construction
>>736783193Based
>>736814190Oh hey, are you the Meowscerada guy? I've been thinking about you specifically lately, your art was getting really good and I haven't seen you post on pixiv in a while.
>>736798554starting with loomis seems fucking retarded.
>>736814269What is the difference between figure drawing, gesture drawing, anatomy, or form?For example I looked at Hampton's 'Figure Drawing: Design and Invention' and tom fox 'Anatomy for Artists: Drawing Form & Pose'. Do they cover the same topics just in different ways. Or are those different things because Figure vs. Pose/Anatomy?
>>736814381I personally find grinding gestures can help hone in your sense of proportion easier, and also later you can then construct on top of the gesture to help keep you loose.
>>736783009I don't understand drawing with shapes and perspective. i might be too brainlet for art.
>>736783963Practice. Practice. Practice. Grinding is how you figure out depicting these shapes, colors, etc. This is what it means to create an art style. We have the benefit of so many predecessors that we can build on what they made, and if that's how or what you want your step to developed into, go for it. That said, go watch a Bob Ross video. I shit you not, the way he calculatingly plops circles of green yellow and brown to make an intuitive but simple tree changed my perspective.
Ah no Mr. Ratto anchor?Have a Roru
>>736814498I have been drawing in the meantime(not as much as before though) just not posting on any blogs for about half a year. Hiatus I guess.
>>736814758I always started with construction and perspective and could not keep a habit of drawing.
>>736814727>>736814727Gesture drawings are very loose, fast drawings to capture the feeling and movement of a pose. Figure drawing is drawing from life (a model or reference image). Form is the simplified 3-d shapes that can be used as a base for constructing the body (sphere skull, egg shaped ribcage, box shaped pelvis, etc). Anatomy is the actual knowledge of muscle masses and skeletal reference points
>>736790362Hey, Paper Mario is a role playing game, right? I spent over an hour on this shitty phone doodle.
>>736814880Well glad to see you're still at it. I was worried you were another case of "4chan artist actually gets good, then vanishes from existence"
>>736814851Oh my. I am having some rather sinful thoughts right now.Did I miss the Ashley you teased right before thread nuke some days ago, or is still on the drawingboard?
>>736814269>fun with a pencil is a meme, i have no idea why it gets suggested so much.Yeah, hard agree. Explaining the bare basics of construction and Loomis' head method is good, but after that the book just throws you in the deep end with "next draw the rest of the body lel". Loomis' other books are better, though personally the resources that helped me the most with human figure construction early on were Hampton's book and Proko's anatomy playlist.
>>736815207Bridgman's "Constructive anatomy" was also a waste of money. The sketches are a mess, and they too assume you already know what you're doing.
>duhhh dis is not good totorial whic side i hold da pensil
>>736814851I have a feeling you'd draw a killer Midna
>>736783009I drew this recently.
>>736815205It is still unfinished for now. >>736815389I love Midna very much. Funny enough I don't really enjoy drawing her because if I am going to draw her I MUST do a good job at the helmet. A decent helmet would unironically take more time than all of Midna herself.Dreaded fused shadows man...
>>736814336I've been in a club anonymously since the beginning lmao. I don't post much since I'm busy, and now I have to read a shit ton of messages of what you guys have been talking about due to the dire circumstances of the threads. But I trust what you guys will decide on and will follow the decision.
>>736815183I still post on /ic/ occasionally and discord and plan to post on blogs again at some point. Just no desire for that right now.I would never completely stop, unless I'm dead or something.Thanks for remembering me <3
>>736815582Great, we value your contributions a lot so we'd appreciate to have you with us
>>736814950thanks
>>736813841Fill tool behind is my best friend, but then it's a very simple pose. This one >>736807639 took me longer.
>>736815501She cute.
>>736815559Oh yeah, I get that. I've spent a lot of time drawing to grasp the form of that damn helmet. One thing to remember is the helmet is bigger than you think, people tend to start small and that screws everything up.
>>736814970Is mario fucking a bo-bomb?
>>736815582>>736815739Something similar is happening with /v/aca (Blue Archive Threads). Hang in there ca/v/allo!
>>736815987Whoa shit, I didn't see the filename and realize you drew that. Those are some nice innie nipples!
give up
>>736816147Don't wanna go off-topic much here but is there a qrd anywhere about the state /v/aca?
>>736816245i'll wait until a thread has a niche lady not drawn often to inspire me
>>736809106Yeah.. i feel like drawing baggy clothes really take a deep understanding of fabric.>>736809336I guess i don't really understand the depth when i'm drawing anime, i read over and over again about drawing with confidence but i guess my hand really don't understand it. My pulse is really bad like almost starting of parkinson bad, not sure if that matters.>>736809615What is LLM?
>>736816441Oh, it's the same thing as /v/ma. Janny is being overzealous and the anti-gacha autist is still at it. We don't want to move to /bag/.
>>736816841>What is LLM?Large Lustful MILF
Art is dead
>>736817005I wonder what Bo Burnham is doing these days.
>>736816841>What is LLM?ask an ai
>>736817081Busy welcoming people to the internet.
>>736790041>>736789679Nice style, anon.
>>736816841Laotian Legume Mill
>>736811689These are sick. You have a good sense of drawing weight.
How do I get more followers?
>>736816976i hope so
>>736817589post engaging posts or media to cater to an audience
Any decent resources to get into coloring? I think im tired of doing everything black and white.
>>736816052Not just any Bob omb, but Bombette.
>>736817603If you draw them, they will cum
>>736808728>>736809336This is good feedback. I'd focus on the bit about "symbol drawing". Try ignoring that you're drawing an eye and just draw the lines you see. You can do this by drawing from an upside-down reference. It helps prevent your mind from "filling in the blanks" when drawing from familiar forms.
I finished this doodle of Link and Aryll yesterday
>>736818348This feels sus, do you draw loli porn or NSFW in general?
Been trying to learn to draw for about a week so far now. so far have seen a lot of advice on drawing with shapes, having a hard time wrapping my brain around it. anyone have any good resources?
>>736818348Very cute
>>736783009wips and Nekokohttps://litter.catbox.moe/u29nw2.pnghttps://litter.catbox.moe/x9xtby.gifstill havent started lineart for this one https://litter.catbox.moe/suppda.gif
>>736791331nice
>>736817589I'm honestly not sure. I have 560-ish Pixiv followers right now and I have no clue how I got them. Half of them I'm pretty sure are dead/bot accounts.
>>736817589Learn how to draw.
>>736819523> drawing gud will give you followersIt's not 2010 anymore
>>736783193AI users are the welfare recipients of art
>>736819479At least you have those, i dont even have 100 followers...
>>736817589You just need to find your public and keep on doing the stuff you like. People will find you eventually
>>736820197>>736819479>>736817589Followers is not everything. I had 20k when I bothered with twitter. Deleted that trash, it corrupts your output. Too many dickriders thinking themselves your friends just cause they reply to every post you make. Focus on yourself, but if you really want followers:0. Do good art1. Do raffles/giveaways 2. Tag your shit3. collab with people4. follow fotms, blegh I know but it worksOnly thing I miss is getting nudes from vtubers to use them as base for a drawing.
I rarely draw vidya, but this was fun, so thanks for the motivation OP.>>736797739>"Just draw", they say.I think that's because there's really no "trick" to drawing. You just have to do it enough that it starts to make sense.There are some absolute basics that you need to learn, but after that it really is just practice.
>>736819612It will. Drawing attracts narcissists, megalomaniacs and beginners without critical eye (who think their art worth even single views). Those people believe their drawings, ideas are special and deserve attention. They think about social shit like followers (because most of them are zoomers and underage) and not about quality of their art (no critical eye). Very often they're envy of other successful artists, especially artists without high skills or artists who draw fanart ("Disgusting trendwhores! My deep thought-provoking art is miles above lowbrow kitschslop"). This is solved "archetype" that can be applied to all people crying about followers/popularity/etc with 99.9% success rate. Unless you're someone similar to Thdark101 (/ic/ anon who wasn't able to find job and quit art) you have no reasons to complain. You don't even "walk yet". Especially now when average drawing skill of typical artist is insanely high.
drew this musashi a couple days ago
>>736817589Literally just draw popular characters. That's it.
>>736805172>>736797739Keep drawing even if you don't like what you're making. That's part of the effort. One day, you just find you've made something that you actually like.
>>736821184This shit is so funny
>>736820401I already failed at the first point and i refuse to do the 5th, whats the current trend, the heart shaped butt pose?
>>736788346Free her, she needs to return to the wagie cage

Just noticed the thread went awfully fast, damn.
>>736819523How?
i did this, ive been trying to learn Arco Wada's art style but i think im constantly failing at imitating it
>>736783935
>>736824015I' ll have to say those eyes DO look like Wada Arco's. Good job
>>736783009sharted up this sonic design in the last hour, sonic was of course huge in the uk in the 90s and i tried to imagine how it'd look if he was retooled for a uk-first audience, something like roland rat mixed with certain tracksuit-wearing ne'er-do-wells of the past. this is a sonic that looks like he smashes his head into poles to cure the boredom of living in birmingham.
The real winners in the post AI world are people who just draw their waifus with traditional media in their little notebooks and dont even share it. Like tezuka with his drawer full of mice girls
>>736823797you can't
>>736824559I knew it. Years of trying down the drain.
>>736824601Just a bit of Saturday evening fun.
>tfw begging endlessly gives better results than trying oneself
>>736825241I watched these steps and I still don't understand how you do this. It's like the "step 3: draw Yoshi" picture to me.
>>736822267Truly, this is Marvelous
>>736783009No rat?Drawing of a DD modded character I saw a thread for. Want to draw more of her.Also this is the fastest art thread I've seen in a while; the alt OP seemed to have had a strong effect lol. >>736783696Great Yoko so far, anon. It looks more than decent lol. The turn back pose is really cute.I do have critique if you'd like to see them. As far as regular suggestions go, I think it could be cute if she was putting up her ponytail. >>736783716Shitty example? That looks great to me lol. Love the line shading you did here. >>736783906>the pot heartkek berry funny comic, anon. Your Zhao is really cute too. >>736800982>I prefer them with clothesA real patrician. I love cute loli outfits. >>736802093That's pretty awesome looking. I like all the monstrous bits. What's the pancake context...>>736814190Goddddaaammmnnnn. That's super awesome, anon. Super cool painting. The two poses here are great as well. Also I remember you posting that spess muhreen before. Really cool drawings, anon. You're great. >>736814851Aww cute nun Roll, 2x. The expression is very adorable. >>736818348Damn, awesome job, sunshine. It was sibling day yesterday apparently, so it's very fitting to post this now lol. That whole composition looks very happy. Cute link and aryll. >>736819450Cuute Rin. The cups falling off of the bunny suit is very good. And the way her butt is show there is cute.
>>736825596I don't mind critiques and suggestions.

>keep handicapping any progress i could make by hopping around to different things to study>don't even know what i want as an end result because i also like different types of styles (anime, various western animations from like old disney to simpsons to more modern like smiling friends, and painting)

>>736826128No, of course there are many MANY more steps involved, i usually take crazy amounts of time drawing because i first draw in small then resize it and reline it so it looks slightly better, i shake too much and drawing big from the beginning makes my lines look atrocious.A bit embarrassing but my canvas usually looks like this.
If loomis is a meme how do I really learn?
>>736820401>Only thing I miss is getting nudes from vtubers to use them as base for a drawing.Fucking sweet. Got any you're able to leak?
>>736783009Miquella neck kissu>>736825645I thought not cause you've been okay with it before; I just like to make sure cause I'd hate to post it unwanted lol. And as always feel free to disregard anything here cause it's all from opinion/skill level, which is not very high lol. https://files.catbox.moe/p5jpeq.png Here's a redrawThe big thing to do would be to pull her back back. It's hard to exactly tell without the context of the other arm, but her pose is a little unbalanced, unless her other arm is on counter top or something. Doing this ends up balancing the pose as well as creating more contrasting angles, giving it a more dynamic look. It also pushes her bewbs out. In terms of other lines, she should have some kind of line where the arm connects to the toros. That's her lat. There's also a neck line there from her trap, but I realize she'll probably have that covered with the scarf so it isn't really important lol. Proportions wise, I think her upper chest area is too tall and maybe her midsection is a little too tall. Face wise, maybe bring her cheek down a bit and shrink the eyes a little. That's really it as far as "critique," but suggestion-wise her hands aren't doing too much there, it's a sort of contextless pose, almost like a glamour shot. Which nothing wrong with that lol, but it could be cute to give her hands something to do, like putting up her ponytail. One hand holding the hair up, another one with one of the chopsticks. But yeah it's a really good start to the drawing, I'd say a more dynamic pose is the main thing to look for. You could do it the way I suggest, with a more exaggerated curve or you could do it another way, like an exaggerated torso twist of her turning towards the viewer. Great work so far, anon, keep it up.
>>736818953Thank you!>>736818670Nope>>736825596>8th replyThank you! Oh, didn't know it was siblings day. i had that sketched out since monday or so and only yesterday had some time to finish it.Your character looks pretty cool too! It's a difficult pose but I think you did it pretty well. I'm always a fan of hand to hand combat characters. Reminds me a bit of my RO character from when I was playing /v/'s server.
>>736826506the truth is so boring that people don't want to believe ityou learn by drawingyou don't learn from a book or /ic/
>>736826767but chrischan...
>>736826767You improve by drawing, but there's no reason to bruteforce fundamentals. That's just torturing yourself for no reason.
>>736826971I guess it's also possible to just draw and choose not to learn anything from it, but I think for that you have to have no self-awareness or eye for beauty
>>736797739the only thing important is to get a good drawing surface or sturdy easle, some paper any pencil you fancy or have laying aroundleave it there so you can just start>>736805172then doing this is genuinely how you do it "oh this looks kinda off, i'll have to do that different/better next time and learn from my mistakesit's better to make a dozen drawings after learning one tidbit of theory than go mad looking up 1000 things and only making one drawingthis is all you needESPECIALLY if you have trouble keeping it upIn an age with all the information you could possibly need the most important part is to not get overwhelmedliterally just draw atleast one thing x times per week no matter if you feel like it and go from theret. currently painting bit by bit on my nonsense two days per week
>>736827076I agree, I wouldn't recommend hyperfixating on one thingBut honestly, art is suffering, you have to put the work in, there's no shortcut
>>736825329Usually what I do is>doodle sketch of what I want to draw(>redraw and refine linework over sketch>touch myself for quality control)>repeat (*) as necessary>color and render by feel>type one-handed until captions are finished>SFX>touch myself for quality control
>>736805172That's not entirely bad, it means you're improvingBut this is also a common thing, when you've spent so long looking at the same drawing, it starts to look normal, and you won't see any problems. Something that might help this is using the horizontal flip tool so that your image looks fresh again and you will immediately notice weird things
>>736783193>Fell for an ai image twice this weekIt's over for me isn't it
>>736826128constantly adjusting things till it looks right is genuinely training you into better proportions than just yoloing and not worrying about ityou're alright, you don't have to worry about speedyou need to slowly build up an eye for proportions
>>736783009Giant(ess) Miquella holding Sora Kingdomhearts. >>736826726Oh wow, happy accident then lol. You got it out at the prefect time. That pokemon drawing is great too. Her outfit is very adorable. The big sash ties going down to her knees is a really good design choice. Also thanks a lot, sunshine, it means a lot. And yeah that was definitely a different pose than I typically draw lol. >ROOh that sounds really cool, do you have any screenshots? >>736827236kek that image. Also good process, aerd.
>>736783009some art i made for /fog/
>>736818765the book:perspective made easyand some of the early proko youtube videos on perspectivebasically 1: learn to draw building blocks2: build body out of simplified building blockswill give you a much greater understanding of what you're seeing and how to put that convincingly on a 2d sheet of paper
>>736827924
>>736827236>>736825798thanks for the perspectives
>>736827848Oh, that's actually not a Pokemon drawing, that's my character from RO, haha.https://litter.catbox.moe/p6gwxl.pngThe official art for the characters and the sprites ingame always have different details so it's always a gamble drawing them.
>Been drawing for 20 years>Still mid
>>736828660as long as you find it funi sure still do
>>736828910nice. How did you learn? That's a good pose
>>736828660Can you draw like Kip? Big bellied girls may be the only thing I'd fund
>>736783009Emma I drew for the MS paint thread. >>736828415Ahhhh, that makes a lot more sense lol. I've never played pokemon, so I ws just assuming it was a character I didn't know cause the birb reminded me of a torchic lol. Yeah that makes it a lot cuter I think. Your character is super cute. I think you did a really good job translating the sprite into your art. You kept a lot of the finer details and made some good informed decisions, like making that sash. Having the two adventuring pals lost is very cute too lol. Man I played RO in 2006 and don't remember too much about it beyond the cute sprites. Are you still playing, or was this a short /v/ fling?
>>736829062Who?I'm joking
>want to create a sort of cyoa story on twitter where I can bullshit everything>love writing, feel confident>want to do late 90's prerendered looking 3d so it's easy and quicker to add stuff>panic when I want to start.START YOU DAMNED BODY WHY BE YE SO SKITTISH
>>736826679Pretty sure your skill is much higher than mines seeing as you helped a lot with the past few drawings i've done so far. Also regarding the hand I think I followed this and the photo ref I have too closely yet again.
>>736828910A lot of what I picked up was just by observation over the years. But everything else was just study through deconstruction.Hair tends to be my weakest point because it's so free flowing and I'm a bit of a scatter brain when I don't have a concrete vision of what i want to draw.
>>736829421Oh and the full context of the scene is she's wading like thigh deep in water at the beach or something for the Yoko drawing. Also you got an account I could follow somewhere?
>>736829631Kek, meant for>>736828973
>>736829110Thanks! Being lost was definitely fairly common for me while I was hunting mobs for TK missions so I thought it would be fun to draw it. I also drew this Kafra while attempting to copy the original style.I've been playing it on and off since around that era as well. I'm not playing right now but I'll definitely hop on again if another /v/ server pops up.Oh, and cute Emma too! Can't say I would be able to do much in MS Paint.
>>736829631What do you mean study through deconstruction? Like seeing the stuff as regular geometical objects?
>drawing is now more fun than /v/idya>haven't finished a single game all year because i just get bored and would rather drawdon't learn to draw bros. its not worth it...
>>736829631That looks pretty good, who is she?
>>736831039More manually than visually, but yes.>>736831429Original character. No one in specific.
>>736828660You can draw for 27 hours a day for 200 years and still suck if you're not making deliberate choices to improve.
>>736831402use vidya you like to draw fan art of

>>736831958Team mega now :)
>>736831841my cute retard rock daughter
>>736783009I wish I had more time to draw. I enlisted in the army and I ship out tomorrow. Here is "The Queen" from the Slay the Princess thread. I tried finishing but this is as far as I got.
>>736783009I'm doing a commission but here.
I haven't draw much except for a small foreshortening/perspective exercise.
>>736790362My hunter, this time attempting shading and less chicken scratches.I cannot draw long lines for shit, i cant tell if my tablet is too sensible or i need to cut down on salt.
Great thread, everyone!
>>736826679Before the thread dies I'll show the changes I implemented.
Just practicing
>>736829978lol it's cool you were able to express that in your drawing. I always come up with lore for my're toons when I play games myself. also woooww that's super cute. Really nice jon with the style variance. I think you did a good job capturing the longer proportions there. The emroidery on the dress is really cute too. If /v/ ever has another lover's fling with RO, I may give it a try myself. Like I said it's been 2 decades jesus christ time flies since I last played. I'll be on the look out. Also thanks a lot, MS paint is certianly a different ballgame lol. >>736829421Hey, I only help cause you asked for it that one time lol, and have been receptive since then. For this, all I did was lasso the three "sections" of your drawing and make them more askance to each other. and then also I took the left eye and turned it a bit and move it down to make it more in line with the rest of the face. As for the other arm, you have a few choices. Keeping it like the ref makes it almost imbisible, but you could put it on her hip or something. Or treading water maybe. Oh also I brought her torso down a bit too and added an overlap. >>736834064 (you sent this as I'm typing it lol)Ooh nice work. You implemented pretty much everything I just did lol. A lot more dynamic, but most importantly, stable. A stable pose is a fluid pose. Your lat line there is good too for the position her arm is in.Oh yeah as far as a blog goes I have pixiv called SKZ, (https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/120920801) though I haven't uploaded much on it recently. You can send me messages on there or something if you want to talk or ever have questions. >>736831841Cute 'idian. She's definitely one of my favorite cheebos. I feel so bad for her I just wanna hug her lol. >>736832558Oooh that's cool. Nice work with the gunsm anon. >>736833535Yep, great drawings this thread Mariel. Lots of stuff posted too. Pyon Mariel has some gap moe potential...
>>736807639SEX
>>736797445god isn't doing a good enough job if you still get to see it muh huh huh
>>736822052yeah, gonna "free" her alright
