Resources for color theory and digital painting Anonymous 12/21/2020 (Mon) 20:11:43 No. 1207 [Reply]
I checked the resource hub, and could not find anything specifically related to color theory alone. Currently I am still working on Fun With a Pencil, but I've started into the grind phase in the middle of the book, and want to lightly study color theory to go with the very simple characters I am producing just get some variance and keep me engaged. Sorry if this doesn't deserve it's own thread, couldn't find anything in the catalog other than the share thread, but I wouldn't know what to ask for specifically. Please help. Pic unrelated.

>>1211 Unfortunately it looks like NKU doesn't have any color content, surprisingly. Other than that it's a great resource tho https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDrawingDatabaseMarcLeoneNKUsota/playlists
Man I can't believe I didn't put any color stuff in there (unless you count ImagineFX content which is heavily tilted towards rendering). I can't edit it because it's an archive of a board page that's been dead for 7 years, I should probably make a new one

Drawpile Archive #1 Loomis 04/17/2025 (Thu) 15:50:50 No. 6895 [Reply] [Last]
Our Drawpile goes back perhaps a decade and I figure it'd be a good idea to host as much of it here as has been preserved (sadly, a lot of it didn't make it), given MEGA's limitations. The very generous 50mb file size limit means only two or three canvases can be posted at once, so they'll be posted in archival threads for easy viewing rather than the Drawpile thread. Enjoy! Edit: Due to performance concerns this thread will be divided by the year in which the canvases were completed.

This is the last of the canvases from "Ourobooru" (https://ourobooru.booru.org/index.php) ; special thanks to the Archivist anon who saved these when countless others had been lost. Will upload more from more recent years (2023+), tomorrow. Stay tuned!

A lot of us did. Once the jannies allowed a guy to rugpull the board out from under me and nuke most of the content going back to near the beginning it was hard to be motivated to continue contributing to it-but I do check in once in a while still.

>>3835 If you're a super novice, but used to dry mediums, you'd probably immensely benefit from learning basic underpainting/overpainting techniques. There are a bunch of schools for how to actually underpaint and what that does, but at the end of the day >the underpaint provides a guide for the overpaint >you should never have to fight the underpaint Once you have a strong underpainting basis you can experiment with one oil painting for indefinite amount of time until it is "right".
>>3837 Honestly these obvious revelations I'm going through right now. I mean, its honestly very fun, but I feel like there is more learning than actual creating and my canvas looks like a shitpickle. Maybe My initial concept is way ahead of my skill level but I want to see it through and a learning experience.
I've never been able to draw for the life of me cause of a broken tendon when I was in uni, but I recently gave the loomis books to my wife and seeing her improve in just a few weeks makes me so happy that creative people like you guys exist as I'm alive on this stupid planet.

Has anyone ever actually done this? It seems like it's a little too advanced for the instructions he gives you previously. Like the fenceposts are in single point perspective while everything else is in two point and I think all but the first part are going towards a false horizon. Thoughts? Any brave Anons out there who've already traversed this and have any advice?

Having said that, FWaP is an excellent book, among the best I personally think.
>>6741 This is rather belated now but I think one thing virtually every resource fails to mention about vanishing points is that the only thing they really do is define which direction something is facing. That is all. Houses are kind of a counterproductive example for demonstrating this since they tend to be built so they align on two axes. You can in theory place a vanishing point absolutely anywhere in an image. This cube, while sloppy as fuck, is technically accurate within this perspective despite having its vanishing point at some random point in the sky because it's facing upwards. Things parallel to each other have the same vanishing point, other things have other ones. The fence has a single vanishing point because it's facing the same direction as the angle of view. It's that simple, my man. Maybe Loomis, like many others, assumed that this is self evident.
>>6796 Good point, and true. While the horizon line is an immutable constant, upon it there will be many "vanishing points" in a given image (including WELL off the bounds of the canvas) and that's something I don't ever see anyone-including Loomis-talk about.

>>6783 Yes
>>3300 Hey, guys, it's me, again. I can't believe my post is still here. Things have not gotten much better for me, creatively, but I've made a lot of progress in healing, mentally, and I'm making some strides. I've decided to try other avenues of creativity, and to this end, I've been buying materials and setting them aside in order to try Muppet-style puppets, sewing, and terrain building for RPG games. Why am I setting them aside? Because Covid was not kind to my boomer parents and, due to me not being able to work a job, I've ended up becoming a part-time (sometimes much more) caregiver to both of them. Dad's lost the use of his legs due to mini strokes, and my mother either has dementia or some sort of circulatory problem that's wrecking her, cognitively. He's living in a care facility, and she's still living at home, and I'm spending a lot of time between the two places making sure they're comfortable and surviving. In between various old folks appointments, I've also managed to make a new friend via church and my son is engaged to a lovely young woman who is the holy grail of the meninist community. The depression I've lived with all my life is still there, and most likely always will be, but I've learned many tools to combat it, and it rarely has a hold on me for longer than a day or two before it hides itself. Things are too busy for creativity, for the most part (although I still sometimes sketch simple things when the mood hits me), but I'm doing things that matter for the first time in a long time, and that's a good thing. When my parents pass, I'll start using the supplies I've stockpiled more often. Don't forget my warning from before, but know that, though it's taken me the better part of 15 years, I'm starting to claw back some things that allow me to create. It's not what I want, exactly, but I'll take what I can get, and some of these things may eventually unlock my art and writing blocks. God bless, and God speed

>>6792 I find it nice to hear about your heartfelt situation and current viewpoint. Here are some suggestions to aid you in healing and my view point on your situation: Mental health has two sides, the mental and the physical. The modern healthcase system seperates everything and misses that everything is connected and consequently influences everything else. Nowadays the main area to tackle physically in order to heal depression, is to clean your gut, by eating raw foods and vegetables or for starters, reducing the consumption of overly processed foods. The mental aspect requires the establishing and communicating of healthy boundaries. Heal the body by treating it with love. Heal the mind by talking lovingly to yourself. In regards to your parents: As of my current state of knowledge, if they've taken the COVID injection, then they're pretty much already on a short timer. Maybe divine intervention might heal them magically, but it takes the will to live and serve the greater good for receiving a gift of that magnitude. When big government tries to coerce you into taking an injection, don't take it, as they are biological weapons which effects are largely unknows to the masses, besides maybe that it's causing blood clots, which consequently lead to strokes, heart attacks, necrosis, dementia, etc..

Inktober 2023 Anonymous 10/01/2023 (Sun) 20:37:33 No. 6494 [Reply] [Last]
It's October, and it's time for Inktober! The challenge is to make one drawing each day based on the prompts in the image. While Inktober is traditionally meant for inking, other forms of art such as rough sketches, digital artwork, and anything else are all fine and encouraged. As long as you make something. Most people do the daily challenge and aim for consistency, so don't worry about being a perfectionist. Others choose which prompts they like and only post for those days, so they can spend more time on a particular prompt. Some people even use a different set of prompts such as a Pokemon themed set. If you however choose to do so I would share which prompts you're using. That being said, don't over think this and make sure you end up drawing something. The only goal here is to encourage anons to share their art with each other, no matter how trash it might be. We are all trying to help each other become better artists, so feel free to ask for bullying constructive criticism too. Good luck!

And that does it, the first Inktober I've actually fully completed! Not one every day mind you, but still every prompt drawn. I think I definitely learned a bit from keeping with it (not the least how hard it is to actually consistently draw on a more regular schedule) but more importantly what I actually enjoy drawing. It used to be geometric and more abstract forms were my go-to because I felt weak trying to depict a specific subject but with so many different prompts I definitely found it enjoyable throwing anatomy and organic shapes and forms in for variety, and those are things I'd like to focus on improving more (I've only studied plants and animals a small amount and my human anatomy is still really rough). I tried experimenting with line weight and spent more time on each piece way more in the first half of the month, and while I'd like to have kept that up I sort of had to rush to get the rest of these done and so resorted to more freehand 1px sketching, which I've done a lot of in the past. All in all I'm happy with way more of these than I was expecting and it's a relief to finally be done with them all. Thanks to all you other guys for participating! It's pretty engaging seeing what other people come up with for each prompt, and I hope I helped motivate you each to draw more the same way this all motivated me. Happy Inktober!

how to make, plan out, successful art in comics or cartoons...be it panels or scene. the kind that gets millions on interwebs, webcomic. from styling, to marketting, basically what makes a SINGLE, One, piece of art, attracts, No less than 5 numbers, traffic and sales. or, sales. basically the so called quantification of the content, per se, by algorythm. the same one that decides where cookies or soup or takos goes to.
