>>351 I love it

>>349 Sketch-tan a cute. CUTE

Decided to quit being a lazy piece of shit and finish something. >>392

>>417 I like the colors, and the contours of the hyena feller appear more or less correct (maybe a little bit more volume in his ear on our left in the drawing than there is in the reference).

a WIP

>>430 What's her relation to your top-hatted shadow lady character? I like her spooky hair and her convenient front pockets for keeping her hands warm and, more importantly to us artists, nice and hidden from our viewers' discerning eye.

almost leg meme

>>436 Poor girl isn't articulated that way it seems. A fine compromise though. Let's just hope the Warner Brothers's lawyers don't get wind of this

/gondola/ seems to be gone for good, so I'll post this here instead.

>>457 beautiful

>>457 I love those webms. <3

>>457 excellent

>>457 so nice

Does anyone here mind drawing Asriel? That is, if this thread would allow asking it? Here is some refs if needed.

In-game refs

>>478 >>479 bruh

>>478 >>479 Not A Request Thread please go to /v/ etc.

>>478 >>479

>>482 This is suffice enough. Thanks anon.

>>481 Right, sorry about that. >>480 What? Is it because I am a dumbass for asking requests? If so, then yeah sorry about that. I thought that this thread would take requests, and one just did so actually.

>>482 Draw this fag character getting killed by a good character, hell make Link or Cloud kill this character. That is if you want to. I'm just suggesting some new ideas to get the fan of Undertale/Deltarune to leave this place.

>>485 Not gonna lie I liked Undertale despite its extremely hit or miss sense of humor and gay/furry overtones. I guess as someone who'd played a lot of scrolling shooters in my day the gameplay mechanics were fairly satisfying.

>>488 Then by chancy, could you at least just draw the character? If not, that's fine. I'm not asking anything that is high art or whatever, just if anyone here wouldn't have mind drawing him. But again, it's clear that m asking should be on v. >>485 I understood I was a fool for asking on loomis since now I know this isn't a request thread.

Or were you the one who drew it before of that other drawing?

>>490 >>489 It's a principle thing, sorry. No harm in asking but thank you for your understanding. I'd encourage you to try your luck on /v/ or-even better-let's start you learning to draw this charming goatfella yourself. Do you have a pencil and paper handy?

>>493 I actually have been drawing for some time here an dthere. Just that I tend to either get lazy because I feel like my drawings aren't quite what I envision or I sometimes let doubt get to me where I pretty much say that other artists are better than what I can do. Of course, the latter is being a fucking retard, so forget that point. But sure, I'll later provide some drawings I did before, so i'll say I did improve since for 4 years I have drawn, but I am still not there yet.

>>494 Awesome, looking forward to seeing them.

What's the difference between Draw thread and practice thread? I may be posting in wrong one.

>>566 Practice thread is a dumping ground for fundamentals studies (anatomy studies, figure drawings, still lives, thumbnails), draw thread is for completed works you want to show off or receive comments for. There's a lot of overlap between the two so don't worry too much about it but that's just the general idea.

>>567 Also you can definitely be forgiven for any confusion given the complete dearth of activity-we're still recovering from the migration from 8kun so there isn't a lot of content in any of the generals yet.

>>623 made for BGC

>>624 Isn't he supposed to be a troll?

>>626 >I made over 550 flags and I completely spaced out on making a troll face one Also, I had to put Big Green C*ck out there; if I would have said BTC it may have confused our extremely numerous /biz/ crossover posters

Busy weekend so I'm going to cheat and combine my weekly drawthread and towergirls submissions heh

>tfw still at "Bad Anime Convention Programming Pamphlet Cover Art" level Just gotta keep working

I drew that Spooky girl from the Jumpscare Mansion game. It isn't perfect, but I had a lot of fun drawing for once. A smile crept on to my face while I was working, and I'm not really sure why.

>>649 bretty gud

>>651 Good for a start! Keep your enthusiasm for drawing and develop that sense for form and proportion.

>>651 >A smile crept on to my face while I was working, and I'm not really sure why. drawing cutes will do that

The rough and the final (I adjusted contrast in GIMP) for comparison. I took a gamble with the hair and used charcoal. I botched it lol I wanted dark hair for this one but I don't have the proper graphite pencils yet. I also failed in the composition as I should have included the full hair style and full arm for context. Also this took me too long to finish because various reasons lol :)

>>682 You did a good job with the emblem on her necklace thing, as well as the pattern on her glove. The face is good as usual and I think you did a better job on the hair than you're giving yourself credit for. I feel like her chest area appears a little bare and some subtle impression of the sternum may have been warranted, however I know it's not always that easy to see. Same with the little triangular furrow that typically appears between the insertion of the anterior deltoid and the pectoralis which admittedly I'm not certain if it's typically visible when the arm is in that position.

Drawpile fun

>>695 >planet express delivery but I didn't order anything >bow chika bow wow >>684 I'll study up on the sternum and chest area. giggity :)

>>696 lol >>702 (I was going to post the two together but I felt like I shouldn't post work without permission) I think you did a good job here. You're good at saying a lot with a little and watching your ability to construct poses improve in real time has been a privilege

More pile stuff >>703 thanks m8

The curse of the devil trips is reversed. Only cute wholesome shit from now on.

So, a quick question, a certain artist I follow stated in a blog that if one were to write or draw something down before 15 mins were up, that would prevent something from the brain that has a problem with creativity. Is that true?

>>802 I'm not an artist in any way but can confirm that this works insofar as writing goes. I spend a lot of time writing both creatively and professionally and if I don't have anything workable on the screen in fifteen minutes or less it just wasn't ready to happen yet. I can't guarantee this'll work for anyone else. In school I was the type that "tested well", meaning that I perform best when under pressure of a time constraint, which would explain why this method helps me get the framework of something good to build on.

>>803 Ah, sorry. I didn't mean it in that aspect. the artist was referring to how before 15 mins were up after one woke up, they would be able to do things like draw or write something that they would usually scoff at or would hate. It's something I heard that can improve one's own way of drawing from what I heard. But thank you for your shared advice. That to can be useful in certain situations.

Found these old drawings from when the board was first created (what was it, seven years ago?), back in the days before Hotwheels was twisted by the dissonant whispering Chaos. I had an idea for a series of drawings that (as usual), barely managed to materialize. "40K Kripple Kart" Apart from a few now-obvious perspective errors I still think they're kind of cute.

>>862 Man this takes me back when anons used to praise hotwheels and /int/ was the boogeyman of the day. Oh how have the midget have fallen, and how our boogeyman was right all along.

So, I did this back on September when there was the 5th annivsary of the game. To note, I hope anons here don't judge me because of the shit fandom, as I agree some parts are shit. But, I hope this suffices for now. I'm gonna try to draw once I build a desk since I heard that was the best method.

I can show some other drawings I did back in the day. Although, Idk if there are those here who hate artists who use refs, as I used to back then and still do now.

>>874 >Idk if there are those here who hate artists who use refs, as I used to back then and still do now. Dafuq?! Everyone uses references. That's how humans learn. You can't draw things you haven't seen. Everything created by humans is just the product of their experiences.

>>875 Forget /ic/, deviantart are the ultimate crabs.

>>875 Well where I am from, some tend to think it's on some level of bad stuff. Somehow, just trying to use a model or art of a character isn't enough and you should only use your own head for drawing instead.

>>876 What now?

>>878 Are you unfamiliar with the concept of “crab” artists, who drag others down with bad ideas, bad art beliefs, bad advice, and constantly shit on other artists? Hating on artists for using refs is a great example of that.

>>879 Oh, not really that much. I did hear Devinart having some type of mob that does shit to artists who don't follow their own rules and agenda really. But for using refs? What the heck?

Off-topic here, but NSFW is not allowed in loomis correct? Also, what do anons think of those who draw fictional porn? Stuff like furry, loli, cub, rape, nechro, vore, etc? I'm just a lurker here, but I would like to know the rules here on this take.

>>881 NSFW is allowed, I don't know why the hell this is marked as a SFW board but I can't change it, I'll ask Mark about it at some point. I would appreciate if any hardcore pornographic images are spoilered is all.

>>880 Sorry, I meant to add that I am unfamiliar with what you described. Mind going into more detail about it?

>>882 Alright, thanks for answering. I just thought you might have had problems with it, espically those who do drawings of things like loli, cub, rape, gore, nechro, etc.

>>883 The term crab comes from the phrase “crabs in a bucket”. Fishers don’t need a lid on a bucket full a crabs because the crabs will all drag the other crabs down as they try to escape. Deviantart autists are obsessed with their own made up rules about stealing and “cheating” in art. There is constant drama about who’s original character is stealing from someone else’s over dumb shit like similar color schemes, poses, backstories. Likewise, using a reference is often called both stealing and “cheating”. Because these dorks can’t tell the difference between tracing and using a reference.

So, there's this shit I found in case anyone here might actually give a critique in a sense of sorts. Some anon went crazy in /v/ over it. NSFW. Not hardcore porn and not really porn per say, but it is explicit.

>>882 As an addendum, this is largely a board about art improvement, it's not a board about porn for porn's sake and anything other than relatively vanilla stuff tends to attract autistic porn freak lunatics who have no interest in creating art but who can nonetheless be hard to shrug off. There's a lot of stuff that, even if it's "technically legal", I don't really want it to be a feature here either. Professional nudity is NSFW and expected and I don't think that seeing two girls sucking eachother's tits or a cock going into a vagina is going to hurt anybody but there's a point where "porn" basically becomes /b/-worthy shock imagery and not something we want or need on here.

>>887 I decided to fucking take a look, and... it's not really porn action, but more or less casual nudity. It does include some things that I think most would agree is in a weird take. Not sure if one can say it's NSFW in the sense of porn, but it is explicit. Really through, this poster should have just posted it somewhere else. I don't know if you would agree.

>>886 What good would a critique "of a sense of sorts" of someone else's work you "found" do for you? Have you just come here to post images you like?

>>889 Is the image that bad that I am imagining it to be? Given the recent anon's statement, I would suppose they might be asking for a critique seriously, but still, does that really need to be on here?

>>889 I just thought some artists on here wouldn't mind giving a judge of fairness about what they thought of this particular artwork is all. I'm sorry if it caused a disturbance, as while it is a bit on the "weird" side, it is not blatant hentai and nudity has been a subject of critique to even today of paintings and using adult models to paint after.

>>891 At least it isn't hardcore porn, but please do remember that there are other boards here that can suit your taste in whatever you enjoy. This board is mainly for SFW art after all. >>885 Ah, okay. Thanks for the definition and on Devinart's crazy fans. From the original character stuff to similar details of art, and really, somehow using a drawing just for ref is like tracing over it? What have they been doing to think that way?

>>885 Is there any other site that is like devinart btw?

>>888 > It does include some things that I think most would agree is in a weird take. Yeah, I agree. That (>>886) shit's kinda weird.

>>893 >Is there any other site that is like devinart btw? conceptart.org artstation.com

These sites don't have the infantile and degenerate community of Deviantart though.

>>894 How so? They aren't in any postion of hardcore porn smut, and there is nudity of fictional characters that have been stated to be art. What makes this piece so different? Nudity doesn't always equal sexual stuff, and this strikes me as just your typical would be exhibit art since it's casual.

>>895 interesting. >>896 By infantile and degenerate, I would assume you mean fetish fans and people who basically cry if anyone has a different opinion? But that's nice to hear. Devinart is shit.

One of these lead to a different site instead: https://thecoldestwater.com/ = conceptart

>>899 >One of these lead to a different site instead: Then I'm sorry. I haven't used that site ever since I've learned that JavaScript is evil. Forums are a waste of time anyway. Image boards are the ultimate form of communication.

>>900 That I can agree on. It's the best. But thanks for that other site. I'm finding artwork that I haven't even seen of some of my favorite characters. Also, did you rate my drawing by any chance?

Is it worth making an account on here? What are the benefits?

>>873 What do anons think of this drawing? Anon here asked, and everyone forget because some idiot thought his nsfw image needed judging when he should be fapping it to himself on some other board. Sure, it's fine here and it's spoiled, but come on, this is a art improvement thread. Aside from that, I don't really know how to critique, but I would say it's a start. It needs improvement most likely.

>>910 Looking at the picture for one second was already plenty enough for me. I don't want to look at it, but that's necessary for a critique. So that's that.

Some snips from drawpile.

Someone made a compilation of my drawings. >>927 Never thought this would happen. Some of them are drawn by Loomis and >>929

>>935 >Loomis I didn't draw those, I think it was this guy that comes in with a different name every time but shows up pretty consistently. He's drawn that h'witch quite a bit

>>936 I think anon was saying the one dead center looks like it could of been you. The colored one is (me), as well as the ? one and matching gondola. The rest are >>935 I think. (sans bendy gondola)

doodles

>>1120 Nice muscle structure on the lady, I see you've been making anatomy gains. That subtle cel-shading like indication of the form in places is really nice too.

drawpile snips

Pretty good painting from the drawpile, given how shitty the tools are in the program this is pretty solid work

>>1154 A calarts cutie-pie. Nicely done anon; I like her jester hat

Took the advice to study real eyes and cross referenced a lot of photos. It was very helpful. Should have been a more obvious course of action to me, really. I want so badly to get down to the nitty-gritty of hair, but I should probably just stay on course and grind angles and expressions for a while.

>>1157 It's interesting how a few strategic shapes of tone (whether solid or in this case a gradation) can add more depth and form to a stylized line drawing that the perspective relationships between the features alone cannot. Looks good, in lieu of having anything else to criticize about it I wonder if that ear should be a smidge bigger.

hello bros new here

>>1165 >hello bros >new here I was very close to saying something rude, but then I remembered that this is a comfy board. Hello, enjoy your time.

I've started to get back into traditional painting. It has it's very own appeal. Some things are faster and easier in digital, some are faster and easier in traditional. I've used the cheap Koi water colors for this painting, with a little bit of white guache. (100% original design. Anyone claiming something else is an art thief. Thanks.) In the top left you can see my premium Schmincke water colors. But I didn't dare using them.

>>1165 Welcome. Hope you stick around! Nice portrait sketch, looking forward to seeing more work! >>1168 Wow, that's really looking pretty good. Is that a wholly original piece or a study of some of the art from Pathfinder? >nm, I just read your post all the way through

>>1170 >Is that a wholly original piece or a study of some of the art from Pathfinder? It's obviously original and not a copy of >>>/loomis/198 .

>>1154 OH! That's cute! >>1135 Nice gond anon.

>>1172 Good, because as we all know, using references and doing studies is cheating! In all seriousness I hope that thread is providing some value; it looks like they're dead set on sending me free magazines for the foreseeable future (not that I wouldn't have bought them regardless) so I'm going to keep posting my favorite articles from them as they trickle in.

>>1150 Holy sheez, nice artwork. It's gonna take me some time to get there, but damn. You should be in some type of high arts if anything.

Some recent /tg/ stuff.

>>1181 Good stuff as usual, based Osprey Publishing-anon. I'm not sure I'd seen a sketch or other unfinished work from you before, I like the buttbarians though-are you going to be pushing that one further or was it more of a one off request you decided to honor?

>>1182 Thank you! I think I might color that one, got a lot of good feedback from other places on it and a lot of asking about it so I might as well. I've been working on a kid's book commission and trying not to burn myself out on digital and with nude women I always try to color something that complex digitally.

>>1183 >I've been working on a kid's book commission Cool! >are you able to share or are you under NDA?

>>1184 I can talk a little bit about it. My coworker (we draw caricatures at a park) is friends with a retired producer who makes books for his grandkids every christmas, my coworker is computer illiterate so I've been doing all the coloring for his lineart. Premise is pretty cute, his grandson gets turned into all these different animals. So I get to do a lot of colorful nature backgrounds. (pic related was a concept sketch to show how our styles would interact, won't end up going in the book cuz the scene was re-written but I still got to show off a little)

>>1185 Ah, I see-it's like a rich guy's holiday hobby project, that's pretty cute. I hope you're almost finished, I assume the deadline is fast approaching

>>1185 The hatted otter reminds me of something, but I can't quite place it. It's got the stank of one of those thoroughly mediocre French-Canadian cartoons.

>>1186 nah it's for next christmas, we're cranking along on it

>>1154 I expandeded it. >>1168 Very good completely original dragon, anon. >>1181 naisu naisu (and not just the babe-arians)

>>1190 That's awesome anon.

>>1190 That's pretty nice

>>1190 That looks very cute, like some real shit you'd see on tv-the only thing missing is her being surrounded by a friend group primarily composed of obese, gender-confused lesbian personnages of color.

>>1194 >That looks very cute, like some real shit you'd see on tv-the only thing missing is her being surrounded by a friend group primarily composed of obese, gender-confused lesbian personnages of color. Yeah, she's cute. Also, her friends would not all be lesbians. There would also be a few trannies. Don't be so close minded.

>>1190 Wholesome piece. A little note: I'll just assume you did the following thing not out of laziness, but some other circumstance. The most distant Gondola, affected the most by aerial perspective, is either too light, or the grassy hill behind him is too dark (If we were shooting for realism.). I say that because if I take the closest Gondola as a reference point while looking at his local value in comparison to the grass below his feet (not looking at the grass in shadow but the actual grass in light), I notice that his local value is darker than the one of the grass, which makes sense because browns are usually rather dark and the grass color you've chosen is rather bright. So if we assume the very distant Gondola is in front of the hill and therefore affected less by aerial perspective than the hill. That would naturally mean, he should have a darker value than the very distant hill. You're relating object of the same time to each other, but you also need to look at the relationships between the objects. *autism off*

>>1197 You're relating object of the same type to each other

>>1190 Now that I take a closer look at your painting, the grass color is actually pretty dark. The sky conveys a bright day. The grass is very dark for such a scene. This makes the Gondola have almost the same local value as the grass.

>>1190 Here's what I would've changed. (I also increased the contrast a bit and toned down the oranges, because to me the image felt overly orange.) You can decide for yourself weather you find it more successful or not.

I should've made the grass brighter... forgot

>>1197 >>1199 >>1200 (checked 2x) but muh pickin' colors directly from the shot I was reffing. I agree with the furthest gondola thing, though. I colored all the characters before painting in the background on another layer and didn't notice he was a little too bright.

>>1214 Not a request thread. Go back to /v/ drawthread if you want requests

>>1215 ok sorry :/

I suppose that I will show some drawing for tommorow. Won't be anything too fancy or the like, just a quick simple sketch that may be colored. Wished I did more before this time, but eh, oh well. Maybe I'll start some for next year.

Here are some warm up sketches and studies.

>>1271 Based dickdragon; your subtle-and not so subtle-linework is impressive as always.

>>1272 >Bimpressive as always. What do you mean? This is an anonymous image board. You couldn't possible know who I am. It's not like you can tell people apart by their drawing styles.

Let thee be blessed my child

Started working on some npcs (antagonists) for a d&d campaign I started writing.

>>1287 Lookin' breddy gud >as a bonus, the snow effect makes them look particularly cool

>>1290 Thank you. I really wish I'd gotten into markers sooner because I'm finally getting how to mix them with airbrushing.

>>1190 Your picture reminded me a bit of "Attack on Titan", so I made this little animation. I misjudged how long it would take to actually finish that thing, so I've stopped, because it's not worth the effort for a little joke. I'm still posting it for fun.

Some eastern dwarfs

>>1298 That's really amazing! I especially like the titan transformation part. >>1299 Very nice attention to the texture/detail of the armor and very nice dubs

>>1298 woah :DDD

>>1298 Holy shid :DDD I lol'd hard

>>1299 based and sandpilled

>>1281 trad and chadpilled

>tfw want to post some drawings I did but the thread is like 150 posts in and I'm afraid nobody will see them at what post count do these threads bumplock at? I know this place is dead as hell but just to be on the safe side...

>>1343 <I'm afraid nobody will see them Are you from cuckchan or something? This place gets 1 post per day and is frequented by the same 12 people who read every single post every single day, so if you post your drawing everyone is going to see it. If you want to wait until the new thread you should just go back because it's going to take at least 1 year.

>>1344 Come now, it's just an innocent question, no need to be rude fella.

>>1344 I'm new to this 8chan's loomis, so I don't fuckin know. Either way I'll post them in a bit. >>1346 It's all good. I honestly miss the raw honesty 8chan, and I'm glad we're getting more traffic. It's good to be back.

I need to do a few passes with photoshop to round it out but all the traditional work is p much done.

>>1361 same with this guy

Tried applying the techniques from that expressionism painting digitally, but eh... Let's just call it "painterly". Bitches love painterly.

octocan octocan, does whatever he wants, in his can >>1361 >>1363 I'd want these guys in my party, they seem like valuable assets to any team >>1364 I like it

>>1361 >>1363 Can't tell if it's just the white background, but the characters feel very low on the value scale. It accentuates the silhouettes, which are read very well, but it's like dimly-lit figures chroma eyed onto the great white void. Especially the metallic bits, the highlights of which one would expect to read almost as bright as the brightest brights.

I used a real picture of a girl as reference, it was quite the experience since generally I don't stylize my stuff this much. Please let me know what you think.

Spot "Mini" I wonder how they make them dance. They must have a choreographer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn3KWM1kuAw

>>1298 NOT THE GONDOLA NO! Really good anon. >>1299 That's a really neat take on dwarves that I don't think I've ever seen before. >>1374 It's really cute. The eyes look a bit odd because they seem to be a different style from the rest of the drawing. Sort of like a eurotoon with anime eyes. Maybe I'm being overly critical. The eyes by themselves do look good though.

Just posting some stuff, I don't like how they turned out, horizon line on second one seems fucked. k have a good day.

>>1376 Dat midriff

>>1376 Nice to see you again, monsieur >>1380 Cute, her nose is a little off from center though >>1384 Nice robogirls eee, the one on the right kind of reminds me of She-Seth from Street Fighter V

>>1384 I particularly like the joints here, very nice

>>1395 >>1388 I haven't posted in months indeed. I feel like I haven't drawn much during the pandemic I think the first Spot model doesn't have actually have the pliers-head, but I like its expressivity. They use it themselves in some of the choreography, making her sing and whatnot >>1385 I do have a bigger version, but I omitted it first.

trying to draw clothing and posing

>>1396 > pliers-head Its an arm

Fucking around with the Monet brush in Artstudio Pro. Shading with blue cause Monet is where the "never use black or gray" art meme came from.

>>1432 Cut faux; looks like he broke one of his fangs though :C

I ... I used the /ic/ chart ...

>>1483 Y-you...two timer!

Just a teaser for what's to come

Lods of proportion issues

>>1498 ...

Feet are another weakness of mine

Doing a webcomic so I drew out the three main characters and I'm experimenting with proportions and shading techniques so quality is kind of all over the place, but I definitely think I'm making progress. Just have to refine it and nail down how I want to express it. With all that being said, anyone got any tips on lettering? My handwriting is dogshit and the only font tool lettering in Krita that gives off comic vibes is comic sans and I feel dirty for using it.

>>1501 A little late but honestly they don't look all that bad, they ARE a little small but no one cares except fo*t f*gs anyway. The real challenge I suppose is getting them to look like they're firmly planted on the ground and then arranging the figure around them as such. >>1591 >tfw no Kaylie gf or mysterious always-shirtless musclebro You've got a ways to go in the draftsmanship department but you'll get there; keep practicing.

>>1591 Wild Words is pretty standard among scanlation teams. Fonts aren't normally a part of the software unless they're tied to it by license (so not in the case of Krita), they're installed on your computer. You'll have to download one from somewhere, none of the defaults mesh very well with comics, although I think I've read some people use Calibri. The text tool in Krita sometimes causes crashes though, be sure to save before using it. You might be better off using a different program altogether for typesetting, but I have no idea what that would be.

>>1591 Blambot has comic fonts that are free use for indie/webcomic stuff. Or any of those 1001fonts dot com type of places where license free fonts are uploaded.

>>1596 would you able to define more specifically what you mean by the 'draftsmanship' part? I do appreciate the feedback.

>>1601 Your lines and shapes are stinky and weird. Your hatching doesn't come across as tone and looks more like a bunch of individual, inconsistent and very fine eye-catching surface details that are completely distinct from everything else and draw the eye away from the bigger picture, rather than describing the way the forms turn in space. The lines in the little doodles with constant line weight, like the MRE scene, feel more cohesive and less distracting and, as such, are not stinky and less weird.

Not >>1630 but they summed up some of your issues, albeit in a rude way. I can't find the specific video I remember, but there is actually a ton of brief but very good videos on refining line art that are well worth watching that explain the process, it's kind of a "youtube search + take your pic" kind of thing. If you come across any work by "Art Chad" on this board take a close look at how he does it for example. >pic related Note the varying line widths, the compressed "hidden" lines and so on. Hatching is a bit different a beast but the idea is to convey the three dimensional form of the subject with it.

>>1632 Flattering though it is, I feel I should point out that I'm not Art Chad.

>>1638 Really? Damn I felt pretty confident that was his work; sorry!

It's done. Why haven't you taken the impressionism pill /loomis/? -fast -easy -normies love it

>>1647 Because I took the realist pill instead -slow -difficult -normies hate it

>>1648 forgot to attach pic because I'm retarded

>>1647 >>1648 Artists like Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida show that you can do both at the same time to excellent effect. >>1649 That's really good anon.

>>1648 >realist pill >normies hate it Who or what was it exactly that memed normies into not liking realism? Aside from the (((obvious))).

>>1650 Thanks fam. I tend to not use the words realist, impressionist or anything like that because they're really poorly defined. I was just using it for the meme, lol. There's an idea of impressionism where you recognize that vision is light hitting your retina and you as a painter can recreate that effect by painting what you "see" on your canvas. So like, not painting the "thing" but instead painting the impression of it. If you just keep working on this, you'll end up at what most people would call "realism". But there's also the impressionist movement which is usually what people think about when they hear the word. It's in the movement where it becomes more of a "style" and can even drift away from the original impressionist idea. I'd consider my painting very strongly oh the "impressionist idea" whereas >>1647 is more impressionist in the sense of style (less so on the fourth one). Sorry for the 'tism text but it's one of those things I feel compelled to talk about whenever it's brought up. >>1651 To be honest, a lot of normies do like it when they're given the opportunity to see it. It's just that they're not ever exposed to it or when they are, they're often not exposed to the really good stuff.

>>1674 >tfw no 24-inch Wacum display tablet Excellent work Artchad. I recall seeing your already impressive pre-rendered version on drawpile a while ago.

>>1675 >Me except a picture of anime lesbians touching eachother inappropriately instead of drawing software Pic related >>1676 > >>tfw no 24-inch Wacum display tablet It's a 13 inch wacum tablet. Wouldn't buy again. I'd probably get some huion screen tablet. Back when I bought the tablet it still cost like 1200USD. Never really used the touch. A screen tablet isn't even necessary for painting. I would say it's necessary for animation though. Animating on a screen tablet is a lot more accurate.

>>1678 Honestly I prefer screenless tablets. They allow me to look at my high quality screen placed further away. As good as a display tablet's screen might be, I doubt it can surpass the quality of a good monitor. A display tablet will result in hunched back and neck pain. Being so close to a screen will put a lot of strain on your eyes. Overall a screenless tablet is better. All the big tablets have screen though. The largest screenless tablet I have found is 12 inch. >>1675 >Me except a picture of anime lesbians touching eachother inappropriately instead of drawing software gay

I was sifting through my wip folder and noticed a .kra from about a year ago that I had forgotten about. At the time, I didn't realize I could easily use a video editor to fade things in and out so I just left it unfinished. I think this is what I was aiming for. An aside: I've also noticed that someone was taking the time to upload a still frame from the .webms on to the booru. For that anon's convenience, I'll start posting a still .png for the booru from now on.

>>1785 This is lovely. Saved.

>>1794 Oh mama

It's fucking drapes. I'm glad I'm done painting drapes.

>>1855 Pretty good anon. Nice understanding of lighting, I sincerely hope you had a reference for this?

>>1861 >I sincerely hope you had a reference for this Yep. Had to paint the image stretched vertically cause the canvas was taller than the source image. There's a few things I didn't get around to painting like that dark red rim in the bottom left, but I've gotten bored of working on it.

>>1865 What you just copied a painting instead of painting using actual drapes as reference?

>>1870 Yes, copying this low quality print out of someone else's painting was an assignment from my art teacher.

>>1896 >tfw mysterious ass-kickeress gf I love the subtle folds. I feel her hand on our right is a bit too small. You have the right idea making it smaller because it's a bit further from the viewer but I feel the contrast in size is a bit too extreme for what wouldn't be too much distance.

>>1785 I like how the viewer doesn't have to interpret a lot into the stars, it's all clearly visible.

I've discovered a good software for screen recording that doesn't slow my computer to a crawl when I both record and draw. It's called Debut Video Capture Software and it's pretty fun

>>1960 What about OBS have you tried that ? I tried to record with that on a 7 year old laptop it worked fine, but I only recorded few minutes while using Photoshop cs6 or cc2013-15.That laptop has a graphic card so that might have helped, I don't know, I also have another 8 year old laptop that has no graphic card & I haven't tested it on that. How many hours of video did you record for your time laps video? Do you use a newer pc with good hardware & do you use dual monitors,pen- display monitors ? How do have open reference images & screen recording at the same time or are you the legendary Übermensch who never uses reference images?

>>1960 >proprietary software >for something as basic as screen recording

>>1963 I had completely forgotten about OBS, thanks. I don't have a graphic card on my laptop right now but I could try if I find that DVCS is lacking in some aspect or if I ever want to stream or something. >How many hours of video did you record for your time laps video? About 20 minutes for that one, here's a version in real speed. >Do you use a newer pc with good hardware & do you use dual monitors,pen- display monitors ? I've tried a wacom pen-display tablet once at a friend's and I was really disappointed. The colors were off, there was lag, and the tablet's pointer wasn't aligned to the pen's tip due to the thickness of the glass >How do have open reference images & screen recording at the same time or are you the legendary Übermensch who never uses reference images? Far from it, I used a reference for the wolf skull in the sketch. >>1965 I'm already using Micro$oft windows on this computer, there is no saving it. It could have been worse, I almost used Zoom

>>1966 Using windows is no excuse for using other proprietary software. One should always be working towards incremental improvement in their lives. As an artist you should understand this more than anyone else.

>>1967 You make a compelling argument and I'll reform soon enough. The truth is that I didn't even notice it was proprietary.

>>1952 STAY STRONG SMOL SOLDIER!

>>1967 >he's here

>>1970 Oi how do you get in the habit of drawing. It's been weeks and I've drawn absolutely fuckall. Stuck in a loop of "I should draw" and some sort of retarded anxiety of not drawing yet that demotivates me.

>>1974 Go to https://dad.gallery/ and try and get a streak set up. It's a pretty interesting way to motivate consistent activity.

>>1952 STAY STRONG SMOL SOLDIER!

>>1974 Not him but I draw something well within my comfort zone. I figure even if I'm not pushing myself or anything as long as I'm drawing instead of not drawing it's already a step forward

I drew my first comic this week. Even though the shading is a bit jank, and the MC's head shape is kind of inconsistent I'm actually really happy with how this turned out. Much fun was had making this.

I uh, drew this. How do you even draw hands. It looks fucking off but I can't quite put my finger on it but I uh, guess I'll post it here since I haven't shared anything in like fucking ages. I guess it's better than my last drawing I posted here >>1405

>>2045 Good work, based struggler >>2046 If you want to draw hands you're gonna finna have to start drawing them from observation.

>>1960 >>1966 I wouldn't have expected you to draw literal fursuiters, Ciircuit. I know Breynz is really popular in the furry community for some odd reason.

>>2049 I don't mind the inspiration of Mal0 to be a fursuiter, especially since it's a nice fursuit. Maybe he's popular because he's unusual and rather well-made as far as fursuits go? In any case, I like skull-faced ladies.

>>2051 Did you not base it on that? Because it looks very similar to both Breynz and all the "fan art" of Breynz. If you based it on SCP-1471, then you should know that's also Breynz. >I like skull-faced ladies. What if it wasn't just the face?

>>2053 Certainly; I based it on SCP-1471, but I actually use wolf skulls as reference, along with a generic humanoid body (on which I should work fur rendering). I have heard about Breynz but I've only looked into Mal0 fanart, I wasn't actually aware that he had had any apart from fanart related to SCP-1471. That's pretty cool, but I wonder how he feels about it, because I don't think many people know about him. Many pictures on SCP just aren't sourced. >What if it wasn't just the face? I do like bony ladies (though not entirely because I also like soft tits). Ophelia is very pretty.

>>2054 > I wasn't actually aware that he had had any apart from fanart related to SCP-1471 I was referring to the SCP art, because Malo is literally just Breynz but with a different name. It's based on the same character and has the same design. >him The suiter is a woman. Honestly she probably finds all this very creepy, she hasn't posted anywhere in years. According to her Twitter bio, she's a doctor now.

>>2055 >a woman Oh wow, so she is. I should stop believing random shitposting. After verification, it appears she wasn't the only one to wear the suit however, and that she refers to the character as a "he" under the picture that appears in the SCP page. >According to her Twitter bio, she's a doctor now. Maybe she doesn't have time for the internet anymore. She also had some stalking problems on FA some years ago that could explain her lack of activity.

>Not a single new post since the 17th Well hot damn fellas, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that you're all working hard on your art ventures, but don't die on me just yet!

>>2146 >I forgot that the drawstrings on his shorts were off center in the second one and I was going to fix that at a later time but I forgot PAIN

>>2147 It's okay, just always be mindful of things like that and little by little your art will improve. Kek'd at the second pic btw. I will say the musclefella's proportions are a little peculiar, at least his abdominal area as they seem a little small and compressed when there's really not THAT much daylight between them and the pectoralis muscles on a real figure. Also, try and experiment with line weight a little more. Keep workin'!

>>2146 He's a big guy

>>2149 I specifically compress that character's abdomen and give him enlarged pecs to give him a more "square" look. He's supposed to be a 'gentle giant' archtype so I wanted him to look kind of boxy and soft, but still physically imposing. I used to draw him with normal proportions but the simple face with a realistic body always looked really weird to me. I guess it's just a 'muh style" thing. I am curious to know what you mean by "experiment with line weight" however. Would you be able to elaborate?

>>2153 >I am curious to know what you mean by "experiment with line weight" however. Would you be able to elaborate? The idea is explained fairly well here. https://www.ctrlpaint.com/videos/the-power-of-line-weight It looks like most of your lines are relatively uniform in weight, but there are a few exceptions here and there. Try and mess with that idea a little more and see if you stumble on a lineweight distribution you like alternative to the one you're using now.

>>2154 Ah, now i understand. Thank you for the clarification, based fren.

I'm still around. Took where I left the comic, upon abandoning it, and having the game I'm working on now continue off from there instead. Been studying programming from the ground up, though, so haven't been drawing at all. Will update when I have something to actually show of it, beyond some shitty concept art. Should be fairly soon, since I now know how to make a basic run 'n jump environment.

>>2209 >I now know how to make a basic run 'n jump environment. That's cool to hear, man. From the outside it seems to me that if you can do something like that the rest of the mechanics could quickly fall into place like a domino effect. What kind of language are you using or are you using something like Godot or Construct 2?

>>2209 Is there somewhere I can find this comic, or was it a proof-of-concept for your game more than anything?

>>2230 >black and purple motif based color choices

>>2230 Very cool. It reminds me of a Ben10 alien (I've never watched Ben 10 though) >>2209 That's really nice to hear news from you and your work man, and see Sally as curvy as ever.

>>2252 based and Baroquepilled

>>2261 Talking about chefs:

Felt a little brave and wanted to do a piece in color for once rather than the greyscale/monochrome I'm usually comfortable with.

>>2275 Feels like a good night for a hot dish >>2278 lol'd, nice work. Reminds me of those basement drinking sessions with the fellas We've talked about some other ways to improve your work previously and it appears you maybe be taking some steps in that direction with line weight variation and so on so I'll just target a couple specific things here. Your shoes could be a little better, particularly those on the Big Guy®. Consider doing a few studies of shoes using sketchfab-or even using them as a reference for your own designs. https://sketchfab.com/search?q=shoe&sort_by=-relevance&type=models Another thing, I think you did a disservice to yourself by drawing all of the beers manually because a lot of them are a bit inconsistent. Don't be afraid to ctrl+v something like that. To break up the monotony you could draw the beer he's holding at a stronger angle, and give the labels themselves some variation in which portion of the label is displayed and which portion is obscured by the curvature of the bottle.

>>2288 Oh by the way, I think you did a pretty good job with the directional lighting, man. The colors fit nicely. One more thing: it might not hurt to add a bit of implied dimension to the bed. Instead of having it completely dead on straight you could add a subtle front plane and maybe make a little bit of the headboard/pillows more visible.

>>2278 Is your native language read right to left? If not I don't know why you structured your characters like you did. This has a mild "punchline" to it where one character rambles and the other isn't paying attention. The viewer's attention should first be brought to the speech bubble to read the rant and then slide over to the other bubble when they "get bored" leading to the zinger that the dude bro is asleep and isn't listening. As is I suppose the toad image is so centered and colorful it draws your attention to it immediately anyway, but for future reference if you're writing in English you should set it up so the panels flow in a similar manner to reading a book. Left to right, top to bottom.

>>2292 Very good post and something that didn't really register with me at first.

>>2275 Someday soon I'm gonna try one of your recipes, they always look and sound tasty. I think Carol's enthusiasm for cooking is infectious. >>2278 Now he's got me thinking about jams n' such too.

>>2294 Very pleasant as usual, Gondolafella

>>2294 I really love your webms. The music is very emotional as usual. <3

>>2294 This is very comfy and strangely melancholic. It makes me want to visit ruins and look at the scenery until night falls. >I think Carol's enthusiasm for cooking is infectious. I'm happy to hear that, because that's pretty much my point with those recipes: I like cooking (and it's also another excuse to draw female cryptids). Also, all the recipes have been tried, so I can vouch for them: they're pretty good. >>2278 I actually got a jam/jelly recipe for Fall.

>>2312 >cum mushroom sauce Mon Dieu! >cute birb tho

>>2292 Wew, completely forgot about checking back on the thread so apologies for a late response. Yeah, a lot of those mistakes I've noticed that after a certain period of drawing I start to go on autopilot and I just start doing things without really thinking about them. Like for instance, I actually copy-pasted all those bottles for the sketch, but for the line work I just started inking them one by one and didn't really realize what I had done until I was painting the reflections on them. I think the solution going forward is that I really need to break my drawing sessions into pieces rather than drawing for 8-10 hours straight. Also the shoes being lumpy and shitty can be attributed to have drawing his legs at a dozen different angles and admittedly forgetting to fix their shape after finding the correct angle. Although that sketch fab site is actually really nice and I found a model of shoes that are pretty much the shape I was going for, so at least I won't have an excuse to not draw them on model every time.from now on, so thank you for that. As for >>2292 part of the joke was that the speech bubble gets cut off by the page's border right before he calls them 'glowniggers' and the idea was that the viewer would see the large colorful thought bubble first while the the rambling is meant to be noise in the background. You are right though and it is something to consider. >>2294 I really like the texture work, particularly on the building, as well as the the grass. >>2312 My dad does a ton of canning and he actually makes a phenomenal blueberry-apple jelly that's fantastic for toast, and then he also makes a jalapeno jelly that makes for a good spread for breakfast/lunchmeat sandwiches. But yeah, I just want you guys to know that your advice falls not on deaf ears, and that it makes me big sad that this board is so inactive.I will say in good news however, is that I'm working on my first digital commission, so I'll be posting that the next time I happen by.

>>2317 She means well, most of the time.

>>2322 >As for >>2292 part of the joke was that the speech bubble gets cut off by the page's border right before he calls them 'glowniggers' and the idea was that the viewer would see the large colorful thought bubble first while the the rambling is meant to be noise in the background. You are right though and it is something to consider. You can do this same gag when it's flipped, just have the speech bubble to his upper left and have it dwindle behind his head instead of off the page.

Working on doing some redesigns for all my characters, mostly small things that nobody will probably notice.

>>2418 Cute, also heh

>>2418 I love her smug expression. Watch out for tangents though. You want your lines to have a clear origin and termination; in the case of the area right here you not only have the contours of two tufts of hair basically combining into one, but her jawline sort of joins the mass as well. I think I mentioned something about this before but it's kind of hard to explain and I'm pretty sure I was never able to find that article I wanted to show you... UNTIL NOW! Check it out: https://artofvisualthinking.blogspot.com/2012/10/those-pesky-tangents.html

I uh...actually found a couple more. It might seem nitpicky and it is, but once you know what to look for you'll instantly know what to avoid and your work will improve/read clearer.

There's at least a handful of people that draw every day and Sundays (i.e. right now and probably for the next four or five hours) we've been getting 10+ people these days. Feel free to come check it out sometime if you're comfortable with that idea.

>>2689 >>2695 Very, very nice

i don't know anything about capeshit, but someone wanted to see me draw superman and i obliged probably they expected me to fuck it up horribly but i think i did a decent job considering how rarely i draw humans lately >>2696 for sure, i've joined a couple of times with a name like 12345678 or something like that, i might try to show up more often

>>2714 So happens I've also taken a couple shots at (a version of) Superman recently, for a project concept

A friend spontaneously asked me to do a "study" of a picture of a mutual friend of ours awkwardly cutting cheese with a weird hand position. As I thought the picture was amusing as well I agreed. I'm not a painter and unfortunately I don't understand much about color and stuff like that but I gave it a go. I do not like Philip Guston at all and his simplistic, smelly, greasy work was the first thing that came to mind as I finished this. I could have spent more time refining the shapes themselves but color, value and all of that sort of thing are completely outside of my paygrade. Was fun to try though! I need to do this sort of thing a lot more often as there is a lot of stuff that works much better/faster as a painting.

>>2914 People act like color is some mysterious wizardry, but really, if it doesn't immediately make you go "ugh" or burn your eyes, it's probably fine.

>>2919 For what it's worth, I failed in a lot of ways in the drawing aspect as well lol. I understand where you're coming from but I was really kind of taken aback by how difficult it was to get the "right" color, accounting for hue, saturation etc. It was a learning experience that's for sure but admittedly I was lazier than I should have been, too. Just have to move on to the next one I suppose.

>>2725 been a minute since i posted in this thread, this past week, most of these from the past 2 days. has been full of some very self indulgent degeneracy and attempts to actually use my brain for perspective. >>2928 to be fair it's not the worst thing for what it is considering it is not your bread and butter in the first place, i know i've picked some absolutely shit colors and rendering earlier on, plus skin is surprisingly tricky to color >>2887 always love your colors anon

>>2955 Based and Axe-murdererpilled

>>2955 You've got some neat ideas, but you could do more to help the viewer make sense of what the details are structurally. For example with these heads, I can't really tell if the stuff on them is clothing or some kind of carapace. Maybe try to either separate them more clearly, or make a point of demonstrating how they blend in with the skin. As details get denser they begin to read as texture. That's cool, but unless you specifically want it to look uniform the next step would be to assign local values to things to make them stand out. Depending on how you arrange them it completely changes the impression, so that can be fun to play around with. I defiled one of your drawings to illustrate, sorry.

>>2959 Was going for like a Guyver or Engineer from Alien kinda thing where its a bio suit. I don't mind the edits at all btw.

>>2930 it's been about daily, bros. running out of ideas but i thought to myself last night about going on about studying plants, always fuck those up considerably. i would try something far more challneging with what i know but i am not patient enough for that, i'm mostly kind of a fuckoff person drawing as fast as i can, which is definitely detrimental. probably my unfamiliarity with plants can hone more observation >>2935 to share the pain with our fellow degenerates. otherwise we would be very lonely

I've been slowly narrowing down what brushes I want to use to a relatively small group, but unfortunately my indecisiveness will always be my worst enemy. Also looking at these now, I think I could have used my negative space more effectively but oh well.

>>2971 Ew, she's smoking. Also you accidentally drew that one character with a dinger-I hope you said "no-homo" first. >>2972 Andy is based, your other characters are okay too tho. You did a pretty good job with the shading, though some of the lines look a little crispier than they should, perhaps. At least you have a good bit of width variation. Andy needs a bit more pelvis I think fren. It looks like his benis is being cradled by the pubic symphisis rather than emerging from beneath it if you gnometalmbout.

>>2972 Andy has small vagina apparently.

I haven't been drawing or posting enough, time to fix that

>>2983 Oh snap. Looking good fren

>>2973 >>2980 H-he's grower not a shower, I-I swear!

>>2985 Anon, I have some very bad news for you, but you should probably do some crotch studies so you actually understand what's going in that area of the pants. You don't seem to quite grasp how far the penis and testes sit below the belly button, or even how the crotch on most pants work.
