Additionally, you can try the first few lessons of https://drawabox.com/ for building up muscle memory.
[Expand Post]++++ end copy pasta (i take no responsibility for what i just copypastad) ++++ As a fellow drawfriend, i want you to know that you can do it! believe in youself! (We're all going to make it) UwU extra tips (free of charge) from yours truly~: - Don't rub one out before you draw something, it'll drain you of your horny energy, an essential ingredient in producing fine art. - Do work out though (before or even in between drawings), it'll give you energy! - Drink water too! - Try the 1 minute rule (or whatever it's called), if you don't think you have the energy or willpower to start something, set yourself 1 minute to get started at that point, your body will love doing it and not know how to stop OwO! - If you're really struggling to find something to draw, try drawing what another anon has doodled here! it's truly a win-win, whoever is better can serve as inspiration and a bit of a "how-to" / redline to the other, + you don't have to think so hard about what to draw!
>>42153 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I tasted too much freedom in these past 10 days. I will cross post for /dig/ but I will probably stay here
Well 4chan is still broken, so we've got a little longer here
>>42369 Not to mention the likelihood of further problems if they've not patched the outdated codebase sufficiently, which they likely haven't given the relatively short amount of time and almost certain lack of funding for such an effort.
Looks like modding got more draconic. Can't even say nigger on /pol/ anymore It's unironically over

>>46390 no nested spolers, boooo
>>46390 Link it my draw friend :) I didn't see it :0
Ohh btw. Now that no one is looking, do you want to exchange socials?
>>46805 I c u p
>>46805 socials? from me? i can offer setting up tox over tor, if you’re into that

>>47745 I actually have no clue what tox is. I meant more like your discord socials

>>47965 lol. i don't have a phone i can use for discord tox is messaging protocol that much like tor makes your public key your identity, so there are no signups. it does reveal your ip address to your contacts so it's more suited for friends and family, but it can be tunneled through tor to make it anonymous too https://tox.chat/download.html#oses p.s. how is it i'm only now finding out about barry can't swim

i'm dumb as a rock for expecting someone to call me over tox aren't i i think she looks better in white

>>48209 >it does reveal your ip address to your contacts That sound like a big vulnerability. It would only take a rogue agent to provoke a dox scenario. I personally use Briar, it uses P2P, allows for TOR and doesnt store any info outside of your device. Its meant to protect activism and journalism. You create an "account" (just name and password) and your ready to chat. Also it has groups, forums and blogs. Here my contact: briar://adwgmh2xpwsr64ehlpzgbkb7w4o5no5a6yugjg5lp2hqnnfaxj3qw >>49510 >i'm dumb as a rock for expecting someone to call me over tox aren't i Kek, most people use the usual normie apps like Telegram (that is filled with backdoors) or Signal (Literal Fed Honey Pot) so in apps like these a low activity is to be expected. Sadly most people dont take their privacy seriously. Also good drawing, your style is very unique.

>>49656 well since briar is phone only i had to dig up some e-waste samsung galaxy s3 with replicant os so hopelessly outdated i went and painstakingly disabled all built in root cert individually and installed up-to-date ones from ca-certifcates package manually via dying sdcard just to get it to load webpages at blistering edge speeds which, to my surprise, worked out in the end... but enough about me, how was your day briar://ad2snrl3obxqbdcvivc5apeus2sqf5fo7fnkvzwg5cbayelgb6dqw also on tox. i don't think it's a vulnerability since it does offer video calls and combining that with zero trust anonymity would be difficult. tor itself already makes compromises to provide a responsive experience which opens it to correlation attacks. so, if you trust people you want to communicate tox is completely fine (it onion routes communication that's outside your contacts), and in other cases it does work over tor, so you can use it for its other features

>>50233 >worked out in the end... but enough about me, how was your day Good that you were able to make that galaxy s3 work, Today I just bricked an old laptop trying to update some wifi drivers. The disk is so corrupt i cant even scan it. Rip kek.
>>48209 >>49510 >>50233 nice and bumpy textures

>>48209 I'll get it it eventually I swear >>49510 It's nice! But I disagree because she is based on goth/scene girls
>>50530 Very good drawing. I would wish to have the courage to draw more in the traditional way kek. I love the details in the flower and her fluffy texture. >>49656 Heres a shitty drawing i made. Doing to do the clean line art and improve it tomorrow. Time to sleep now or my brain will become mush lel
>>50906 Sup i am back, I finished that sketch. Also tried to do some clothes and an alternative palette.
>>50528 Thank you >>50530 Ah, goth the wrong impression from that ‘shirt down to elbows’ drawing you did. Here’s a reconciliation >>51136 The bright one with onesie (?) looks best
>>51414 >The bright one with onesie (?) looks best Kek, i was trying to make a tunic but end up doing that lel. Here's an edit version of the tunic and also some gradients. >>51136 Heres what i did today, a not so friendly rat. i need to work in the hands and the textures though.

>>58245 Added shadows, blurred the blood and fixed some errors. Also I digitalized two other ugly sketches and tried another palette lel. I like how the color grey breaks if i oversaturated it lol >>58365 >happy tree friends Damn, I had totally forgotten about that show existence kek. I haven't seen a single episode in years. So I am not into that fandom. But being honest I dont even know what my artstyle even is or my inspirations are lol.
im trying to copy ssu_open artstyle, any idea how i can get better paint style like him? or even the line art
>>65675 >any idea how i can get better paint style like him? I am beginner so idk, maybe try using a thin brush for the hair?. Also no offense but the left arm looks kinda weird, althought I suck at perspective, so I can't critique that lol. >>58685 Damn, two months already?... time flies, and I haven't done anything worth showing lol. Well here some sketches of an astronaut and a crab, like me lel. Maybe if i'm able to fix the scanner I might do some more digital stuff.
>>65675 You didn't draw the nips in his style
>>65675 And don't forget the blush highlights
Hi! I'm just getting started on my Aggretsuko porn comic Here is a preview for page 2, all pages will be like mini pages with 1 or 2 panels What do you guys think about panel 2? I tried to give this a little perspective, like an slight 3/4 view The other question that I have is, where can I post this? (besides X) Any website that is ok with porn, copyrighted characters and that allows me to post one page at the time?
>>66506 >all pages will be like mini pages with 1 or 2 panels Interesting, how long you think the comic is gonna be, also will it have text? >What do you guys think about panel 2? I tried to give this a little perspective I suck at perspective so no idea lol, I like the bright colors and details in the bottles though. >The other question that I have is, where can I post this? (besides X) I heard about pivix and bluesky but i dont use them so idk how much nsfw content they allow. >Any website that is ok with porn, copyrighted characters and that allows me to post one page at the time? I'm also searching a site like that, I will try to investigate some sites tomorrow, if I found something i'll tell you about it. >>65881 Here's a photo something I did yesterday, using references feels like cheating lel I still suck at drawing hands though lol
