u forgot to add white to the strawpoll

Realism is fun when you actually are good enough to do it.

>>3128407

Do you honestly believe that?

>>3128407
>Realism is boring

It's having the skill to make it interesting.

If you're interested in animation then CSP has the best timeline and the most stability of any raster drawing program. However if you just want to illustrate don't bother. Just use photoshop and find some brushes applicable to what you want to do.

The sooner you get rid of your fear of failure the better because you will fail again and again, pretty much everything you will draw will feel like a failure.

By realizing drawing and failing is the only way to get better

By not making a new thread for feel shit

When I got passed the stupid faces part and replaced it with anime faces

Is there a correct way to workthrough his books?

I think FWAP is for absolute beginners but Figure Drawing For all it's Worth too complex. There's a lot he's not showing there
Going from FWAP to FDFAIW feels like a huge jump

But anon, /3/ is the slowest board on 4chan! That would be like going to the ball with a fat guy or a retard!

What's wrong with
>loomis loomis?

>>3125229
It's not actual advice, instead of actually trying to criticize and analyse what someone drew people just say
>lol needs more loomis
It's nonsense and doesn't help
>inb4 but loomis is good
Of course he is, that's not my point

>>3125227
>Why is this board so negative?

There are plenty of sites with a more positive community, even hug-box sites. So visit those sites if thats what you want.

Also this is 4chan, that's like walking into a sex store and complaining that the store is perverted.

Even the stylized, ball and cross heads look like shit. I have to try so many times to get something that vaguely works.

here is mine when I first started if it makes you feel better

sculpey is trash for make thin wirey pieces (like long flowing hair) as it will literally crumble between your fingers. epoxy putty is a hassle to handle because you always need to wet your hands and it can't hold up its own weight if making long extensions. i need something that is durable when long and thin. has anyone used air dry clay before?

>>3123354
Want to learn to sculpe (aiming to make 24mm miniature) and I would like to know what is the basic I should do to start? what putty to use (I have tried epoxy, but its a hassle)? and on bundget tools.

>>3123428
Modeling wax. It's stiff but strong when cool, but like clay when worked with the hands.

It's nothing special, typical uninspired glossy softcore porn.

>>3119465
You have poor taste.

>>3119465
your standards are too low if you're really that overly impressed by this guy. 95% of his appeal comes from very good stylized anatomy. Which is obviously possible to learn, moron. His rendering is mid-tier at best.

I make around $1000.00 a month from various shirt sites, both actively from the daily shirt sites, and passively from royalty incomes. Etsy and Redbubble, for me, are by far the biggest sellers in terms of passive income. I don't often submit to the daily sites, but they can be a massive boost in income if you get work printed and it really resonates with people.

You get what you put into it. You need to have a combination of things, namely an eye for appealing designs, and a large catalogue of designs you can upload to different sites. The more designs, the better - but if your designs aren't targeted towards a certain niche (a popular video game, for example), then they just probably won't sell. I know some artists are making in the mid thousands from selling shirts (mostly passively), but most folks I know are between the $200 - $1200 range a month. It's tough to get the ball rolling, but once things "click", it can become a steady and solid part if your income.

The Yetee (whose logo you posted) are run by some of the nicest people. They're a great site to try and test the waters a bit if you're beginning to explore this avenue to income. Passively speaking, Redbubble is the best place IMO to start uploading work.

Happy to answer any other questions. I'm hitting the sack now but I'll try and answer in the morning before I head out on a trip for a few days, in which case I can respond then.

>>3077868
Actually a solid and helpful response, thanks anon!

I've been curious about the online shirt market for a little while now. Thing I am most concerned about is the legal side of it I guess...things like what sites own your design after you submit it?

Also I heard some sites demand exclusivity apparently? Like if you have a some designs with shirt shop A you cannot have the same designs on shirt shop B or something like that.

Also you mentioned marketing/designing stuff for a game, isn't there some form of copyright or IP that would be breached if one did this?

>>3077890
On mobile, sorry for being brief and any mistakes Two parts to your post here:

1. The days of exclusive sites are long over. When you submit a design to a shirt site, you still retain all the rights to your own. It's like this for pretty much all the major shirt sites, both dailies and passive sites. It's to your benefit to submit the same work to as many different places as possible.

2. Make no mistake - anyone who sells work that can be clearly linked to copyrighted work is definitely infringing on the UP. Parody and fair use go out the window for the most part when you're actually making a profit.

It's not as scary as it sounds though. You are never going to get sued. At its worst, when a company finds a product infringing on its IP, they issue an DMCA takedown to the site, and they remove your listing. That's it. If you keep reuploading the same design that has been taken down, you risk your account being closed.

You'll be fine as long as you avoid certain IPs known for being tough on issuing takedown. For example, any HBO designs (game of thrones) have a high risk of being taken down. Nintendo, on the other hand, is very relaxed with their IP when it comes to selling fan art, which is why you'll see so much Nintendo stuff everywhere.

Hope that helps!
