Hi friends,
If I want to start learning how to draw, can I start learning directly in a digital medium (photoshop/GG/CLP) with a pen and tablet or do you recommend I stick with pen and paper?
How did you come to a conclusion that you can move on to digital art?
Thank you very much. Have a good day.
>>2988490
do both
/thread
>learning on digital
don't even bother unless you want a $150 piece of plastic collecting dust
>>2988490
It doesnt matter, mileage is more important at this stage. Draw with a stick and mud

Repost from the last thread
Haven't had time to draw for myself much lately.
my brain is too small to pick up drawing and that fact really depresses me. i hear about a phenomenon in digital art in which someone will be zoomed in to work on a fine detail and then zoom out to realize the proportions do not work out with the rest of the drawing. i have that but for everything. i cant focus or envision anything in my head but the few centimeters in my current stroke. i got too many problems in my head to ever achieve anything creative
please do not take your skill for granted
>>2991531
>my brain is too small
Proof?
>>2991531
bro its like cramming your foot into a shrunken sock fresh from the dryer. Except 100x. Your brain ain't small, you just gotta jimmy it for a while til it gets you close to satisfactory performance/results. But DONT ever think this is all you can do, because then you'll become blind to your own progress. Always have that impossibly high, pretentious, unrealistic expectations of yourself, at least somewhere deep down. And keep drawing.
K that is my motivational post for the day. Fuck you for wasting this board's time. And for the record, I know exactly what you speak of. for a while I felt like I was suffering from some kind of blindness. It was almost as frustrating as walking on atrophied legs, I wanted to break things and cry. I'm not saying I made it out, but I'm glad I didn't quit.
Is painting in values then colorizing it later just as effective as painting straight to color? It feels like I'm cheating every time I do it but I cant seem to find anything wrong or different with paintings done from grayscale to color vs paintings that were done with colors laid straight out
>>2990545
It's not cheating, but you should work in color to get a good grasp on controlling values with color. It's just something you have to learn, to be able to do it instinctively.
What you can do is paint in color and make a new layer, fill black or white and change the blend mode to color.
Now you can view your image in black and white, and make sure your colors convey the proper values every so often. You can also adjust the eyedropper tool so it only picks up color from layers below the current one, that way you can apply color while viewing in greyscale.

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The original developer of the site has taken a leave for quite a while, originally due to medical reasons. Progress on the site is almost non-existant at this point. You can try contacting him at @LavaFlake or emailing him at [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>Your streak will go back to 0 and you will have to start again. No other penalties.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>There is no week system anymore, instead new users are given "streaks" based on the number of consecutive days you can submit without getting eliminated. (token losses do not reset your streak)
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.
there. kick rocks.
I have hope for the new LAS ;w;

how long until you started seeing improvements drawing from imagination?
ive been pretty damn dedicated to drawing for about a year now (was drawing less dedicatedly before that) and i SUCK at drawing from imagination still. wtf gives
Keep a sketchbook where you draw from imagination daily without any inspiration or reference to aid you helps, at least for me.
If you don't draw enough from imagination how do you expect to exercise that "muscle"? :p
>>2985096
yeah idk. ive been doing that more lately. mostly ive bought like 20 art books (loomis, bridgman, hogarth, etc) and have been trying to study all the info in there.
i was always decent at drawing what i saw. but i STILL fucking suck at drawing from imagination, even though ive been drawing on and off for years.
doing random imagination sketches doesn't seem to help much either though
>>2985091

it's symbol drawn dogshit, what critique did you expect
I worked hard the last six months trying to make audience with my nsfw artwork and after many tries I decided working on a hentai manga. Currently the manga is in making process. I posting a page per week.
The response has been positive in pixiv but in twitter and tumblr not.
What I do wrong on twitter and tumblr? I do not know....
>>2981555
shota/loli is bannable on tumblr, so people arent gonna want to repost
>>2981557
I see...
>>2981555
Maybe try posting on reddit? They have a sub for nsfw comics. Try /r/rule34_comics and there might be a few others. (Don't spam your shit tho, that might piss people off)
Hmm
>>2981504
Work>talent
this guy is praised by mit and made php
>>2981504
It would be more accurate if "talent" was a rocket and "hard work" was an air balloon, both starting at the same ground level.

>made php
that really does explain everything

Regardless of how stylized your look is putting the eyes too high 99% of the time looks bad... Why is it so hard for people to learn this?
Hey there guys. Ill keep it short and to the point. My name is Nick and I need someone to illustrate me a logo. It's for my E-commerce business incubator, the business is called "P.E.B.I". It stands for personal ecommerce business incubator.
I need a illustration of the neck and head of an animated Alpaca but with the eyes of smug pepe. That's important. Also lil alpaca hand grasping his chin.
That's about it, Im familiar with how annoying freelancing can be, I want to pay the right person I choose a fair wage.
Thanks guys.
>>2991255
To /beg/ with you
>>2991255
for logos, the graphic design board might be more apropriate
>>2991257
>>2991261
Ok I understand. Thank you.
So my family is starting to ask me what they should do with my old artwork. I'm talking about the stuff I did in high school. The previous sentence should help you figure out the quality of my previous art. I'll be keeping the frames to reuse for newer pieces, but I have no idea what to do with the old art. Keep the canvases and gesso over old art? Just throw them out? TRY to sell them? I'm in a bit of a rut.
>>2991032
I smash them up and dump them
>>2991032
Remove the frames, put them into a folder and re-visit them when you're older.
You won't regret keeping them.
>>2991234
They're actually large piece, so I would have to invest in a really big folder. Unless someone knows of any cheap alternatives.
Is this guy full of shit, or is there any merit to what he says? For more context this is the thread it's from, he starts ranting near the bottom.
https://archive.is/UiNSg
>>2986636
No, Gaylor Moon looks cheap because Jewei Animation already had their high budget cash cow season of Precure at the time so they cut corners. I believe the animation got better after GOpri ended but I haven't bothered to be assed to look at it. The studio can clearly do a much better job, they just don't care so it looks like shit intentionally because the moms today will buy the BDs anyway.
He could have used a better example.
>>2986636
I honestly can't figure out what this autist is complaining about without more context.
But if he's bitching about the low quality in the Sailor Moon Crystal anime as it aired, this is common apparently in japanese animation for them to rush it out (Since often there an anime's goal is to push a light novel or a manga version) and then they clean it up for dvd/bluray release. There's many anime that have noticeably bad quality during air (Which sometimes hangs around as the fan-subbed version). I think Higurashi is one, Madoka Magica whatever the title is. Thre's a website for Sailor Moon Crystal in particular for comparing the two versions to one another, you can probably google for it easily.
Hope this is what you were looking for anon
>>2986642
>>2986644
I put an archive link at the bottom with the whole thread in it,
essentially he goes on to rant about how people who study the foundation's (loomis and such) are shittier at drawing 2d art styles like anime because they're too used to following the rules of construction and the like (essentially constructing things with 3d objects) instead of just drawing in 2d. His view point is kind of hard to follow to be honest, so I thought I'd get a different viewpoint.
every time i watch some video by an art teacher i end up some how falling asleep.
this doesn't happen while i'm drawing and i usually dont have trouble staying awake but literally every time i watch an art tutorial video i just get knocked out by them talking. vilppu, watts, ctrlpaint, all of them.
does anyone else have this problem of art teacher narcolepsy? ?
Get some exercise, deal with your mental illnesses, melatonin.

muh dick
>>2975689
lol me too...but you ever trying watching videos out of order or if reading, reading things backwards? sometimes that helps me b/c when you do it backwards then it's more like a puzzle
