Anyone else read/watch Dragon Ball to not only get inspired by based Toriyama but to be inspired by the work ethic of the characters?

Whats the artistic equivalent of training at 100x Earth's gravity?

I love drawing. I want to get better at drawing. But since I started living with my bf I've become paranoid to do so. All he cares about is money for even the smallest of things, and every time I'm drawing anything his first question is "is that a commission?" I don't feel I can practice anything in his presence, which leaves me scared to do anything for half the day.

I think it is mainly because he is incredibly harsh. He does not criticize anatomy, or flow or colors or anything, rather the subject matter. Pic related was a piece I was trying to experiment with 3 months ago(critique me on it so far if you'd like, sorry it's a mess), and he called me a 'necrophiliac' while calling it a dumb idea.

He has also taunted artist careers directly simply for being low paying, or makes fun of artists in general for being soft and emotional. I can swear that I enjoy criticism and I wouldn't get worked up about it if he wasn't just such a jerk. There's been times he says he supports me and wants me to draw certain things, but only AFTER we've talked about it and I've gotten upset.

So basically, how do I get over this /ic/? Have you faced similar experiences with feeling too paranoid to draw or practice around other people because you're afraid your ideas are shit or that you're just not good enough at drawing?

okay, so let me explain some shit I've learned in the last week doing animations.

You can animate every part of the body independenly in a new layer, some parts will simply be copy pasted under a slight new position every frame.
There's four extremes in every movement: The initial frame, the first extreme, the follow up (inertia) of the extreme, the going back to the first frame, the other side extreme and it's inertia frame, and then other first frame.
At least this works for idle and circular animations.

Focus on line of movement, generally it makes an S type of snake movement.
Have some frame background reference so the animation doesn't shrink.

You can animate per layers, focusing on each layer on a diferent part of the animation.
You can mix diferent styles in the same animation, traditional 1 frame animation for the most important part, 2 frames so things that move but aren't as important and simple tweens for things that doesn't change shape or are slow.

Also, make a new layer with the arcs of the movement, this is extremelly vital as to not get shaky movements and control the spacing.

Spacing and timing are vital.
The ball bouncing is the most important exercise, since a good ball bouncing uses already all the foundamentals, seems easy but is not.

Bit of a strange request, but would anyone have references for backgrounds that are neither boring nor visually cluttered? I'm talking more about simple designs that don't detract attention away from the subject itself.

I know pic related isn't the best example - i dont have many pics on hand as of now, but it has a general sense of what i'm looking for.

Might post more if i ever find any so 1/?

Just from looking at pic related, how would you describe it? What do you like and dislike about it? How would you alter it, and make it your own?

I think it's really good looking, very smooth and soft.

I want to be able to at least draw similarly to him.

I just can't wrap my head around his process.

Can you guys help me understand Melkor's method?

I got my paper and pencils ready, it'd be cool if we could post our own work (that we try understanding his style with) together here.

>Capcom explains that this guideline manual was probably written based on references from American illustrator William Andrew Loomis, with material added and taken out by Capcom artists to optimize it towards sprite drawing/pixel art.

Reminder that even your favorite anime titty sprite artists have done Loomis. You have no excuse.

There's a trend with artists that they either wear ugly, comfortable clothing or extremely fashionable clothing.

What do you wear?

>tfw mixing traditional animation with cut out tween flash one
>tfw it feels like heresy
>tfw looks as good as traditional but with the benefits of being like tween
