the t420 is cheap as fuck $200 to $400 and can be loaded down with 16gb ram, it also has a display port . which makes it perfect for cintiq users. thats why its always recommended. and indecently its what i use. which is why i'm attempting to answer this. i got mine for 250 or less i think.
you can use anything really. you could use a bamboo tablet it doesn't really matter.
well i can say dont use ipads to draw with because that sucked ass when i tried it.

>>3023340
that op pic was hilarous btw.

also you could try out an asus ep121 but it doesnt have as much ram as you may want and some times the fans are loud. but its a good screen tablet over all if you can over look those factors. i also have that as well and used it all the time before i got a cintiq and the t420.

>>3023340
one more thing, any gaming ocmputer should handle it. you could just build a computer as well it may be cheaper in the end but it wouldn't be a laptop. a gaming laptop which lasted me a good long while was the asus g73jh you know the ROG ones?
as far as tablets go i have used a bamboo, and a cintiq and the ep121 with equal success.
its really up to your skills and how much you want to invest.

that's great anon, good stuff

>>3027338
do you mean it?? :')

>>3027323
Blog pls?

>>3027186
your proportions are fuckin everywhere dude, the whole point of a model sheet is that they are consistent throughout
also model sheets are front, side, back, not three different 3/4 views
also is that a humanized spongebob

>>3027195

Seeing as you were too stupid to even find and read pic-related, don't even bother.

>>3027518
see >>3022396

you might feel more at home at /fa/

artistically, this is just nothing. go talk to the fashion fags, they'll tell you if these outfits work.

>>3027325
it's clearly character design and not illustration. and /fa/ is about real world fashion.
I'm also asking about the process, I'm feeling more at ease getting into color right away, but I've been seeing videos which talk about silhouette and proportions first and stuff, but they're all about cartoony styles where shapes are more pronounced.

Like another anon said, this is literally nothing. There is nothing to say.

>>3026475
I used to do this.

Get a 0.5 pencil and buy staedtler blue leads. It's the best cure.

I snapped my tablet pen once.
I press hard a lot too unconsciously and only realise it when I need to do wide strokes on the screen.

>>3026475
>tfw i dont press hard enough and the pen slips out of my hand ever 10 minutes
>tfw i sometimes wish i had the same issue as you guys

you won't magically gain art skills because you have a cintiq.

you'll get worse because you won't improve when you think you will because you dropped $2,000 on worthless hardware

>>3025226
>>3025222
Tools not rules, and the cintiq is the best you can get. Of course you'll get better, same with anything.

> The Gathering was much better before in the old letters than in the present ones?
Much better before in vintage edition than the present editions, sorry.

no, the pictures really took a nosedive into homogenous digital art land

they want everything to look the same because it makes the world more consistent, like this is some video game where the world is actually a world and not a few snapshots of different creatures and spells

it's not like the skill of the artists has decreased, but the direction has gotten really fucking stupid

>>3023602
It wasn't better before, it was just less consistent. Now they try to have every piece be technically high level and all uniform in style and design so the brand is strong and clear. They seem to like the rather more realistic look these days. Before they let artists have more freedom, and that meant you got people showing off their personal styles more and doing different things. You got some fantastic results like that, but you also got some pure garbage art that was printed as well. If you go back far enough too (Ice Age and before) there was no style guide at all so the set felt all over the place and whether or not things seemed alike across different cards was pure chance.

>>3027264
meaning front view

>>3027264
Just imagine you are looking at the front of feet or shoes and draw that, or use references to help you if you have a weak imagination

Construction

You must be joking, show me what you drew and I'll tell you if it looks like a cat.

aaaaaaaand another one bites the dust

>>3025339
in fairness cats are hard to draw, mine always end up looking like dogs

>>3024739
great some social media accounts, and get a following. that's the surest way to get a flow of commissions. if you're a complete unknown, it's going to be very difficult getting commissions.

make an email for inquiries and a maybe a commission sheet for prices and examples.

>>3024739
1. Create social media accounts for like tumblr, twitter, instagram, etc., and post to Hentai Foundry (if you get featured there, you can get tons of exposure and new fans, which eventually creates more exposure).
2. put out as much (quality) content as possible (the more pics you publish, the more you'll be seen).
3. pander to popular fandoms (if you don't care about artistic integrity and you can't compensate with top notch art)
4. have quality art (yours probably needs some more anatomy and perspective/construction training, but you have decent gesture)

>>3024818
Another thing I wanted to add to anons post that has worked for me is making icons and fan art for lewd artists on Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter. They usually feature you and sometimes pay you. You're gonna be doing free work for a while, but if you can stomach MLP or furry stuff you'll make some cash starting out.

Also don't use a name connected to you - if you ever DO want to have a normal job or create regular artwork you'll be shit outta luck (usually.)

For now try making some fan art for a suicide girl to start with, one that isn't super famous, and send it to them not expecting anything. See if they post it, if they don't move on. I've done this with models on Instagram and some shibari artists as well, works pretty well - usually 50 followers each time. If you want to make money fast try offering banners and things to gone wild girls on Reddit, the ones with their own subs. Usually pays okay.
