Anybody know some decent animation software? Never tried it before and seems interesting.
I haven't used it but apparently Clip Studio has some good decent animation functionality.

Should I save up for a Cintiq 13 HD Touch or a Surface Pro 4? Please state reasons for your answer, thanks!
Do you go out a lot? Do you enjoy drawing outside? Are you ok with other people seeing you work?
By answering these you'll have your answer

use to have the 12wx, it was a real piece of shit, due to screensize and the wide aspect ratio surprisingly bad imho for digital painting.
Study fundamentals (check)
Draw every day (check)
Zero progress (check)
Aside from the obvious stuff, what kind of practice routine do you guys on /ic/ have? Like do you focus on one thing for a long time before doing something else? or do you do everything at once?
For example, do you just practice hands for a day before studying another subject or just hyper focus on like hands for a week or a month?
Pick a book and go through it until I get bored or find more interesting book.
I try to constantly venture into new territory. For instance, whenever I get tired of doing gestures, I just try to do some anatomy. Even if I'm not good at it yet, it gives me a bit of insight in how it works and it's just something new. Maybe I get bored of drawing still life, I'll just play around a bit with colors. Just try to do a little of everything and teach myself not to be discouraged of something because I'm not good at it.

8.5"x11" print of a 4ftx3ft oil painting--"Lost in the Bardo of Becoming". Is it actually shit? I spent a year on the painting
pretty good
>>2913898
I saw your original thread. seriously yes, the only thing that's good is the colors. you wasted a lot of time and money creating art this way. oil paint is super expensive compared to other mediums so spending money on it and taking forever to make art is pretty much the opposite of what you should do. oil paintings are for people in their 40s who have been working and perfecting their talents for decades and can relax and make these expensive big paintings.
>>2915482
I shit out oil paintings all the time and I'm still in my 20's bruh, this took 4 hours for instance
This is the best thing I've made, will post more though, give me suggestions of ways to move forwards etc
WIP that I've taken so long to do that I'm not so keen on the older parts
This one gets worse towards the left, I work in acrylic btw

Wrong photo
I started drawing daily somewhat recently and tried some tutorials on youtube, tried to do some drawabox.com stuff, and i feel kinda confused rn. So i thought maybe i should start submitting whatever i did to get some critique. I aim for kinda of manga/comics style.

post in the draw thread or the beginner thread.
be warned they don't like scribbly lines.
Clean up your lines, friend, I can't tell where the left elbow is supposed to be. Not only that but it'll be easier for you to critically analyze your sketch as well, instead of the whole brain mapping thing.

Traditional is dead grandpas
You can't use ctrl+z and have hunderds of different brushes at 1 hand if you draw traditionally. I am a self taught digitital artist and I made it. All the great artists use digital software like Photoshop and Krita while you niggers still use some shitty pencil and paper.

Some days i get really motivated and actually do a lot of stuff like drawing and finishing pieces and studying.But most of the time, like today for example , I just can't seem to do anything even though I know i should.
When that happens I usually look at an artist I like and use one of his drawings as a staring point, but it's not working recently.
Any advice on how to recreate those creative and productive outbursts?
I'm by no means decent or even good at drawing, but the last few months I've been able to draw at least a little bit whenever possible.
If you're wanting to draw but you're stuck, do some gestures. I really love the human form personally, so sketching out a few gesture poses usually gets my hands working enough to want to make something real.
If you find yourself not drawing, what I've been doing is reminding myself what worthless trash I am if I waste a day and draw nothing. That if I don't draw, the worse possible things could happen to what little ability I've cultivated. It's created a real sense of urgency to draw for me. Like, if I don't, I may find myself devoid of any hope or happiness. Left to drown without a means of depicting it.
And also drawing attractive things. Draw cute girls or guys. If I drew a smile on her face, may as well give her nice clothing, some nice things, etc.
Here's some shitty sketches from my sketchbook.

Drawing isn't always gonna be fun.
The best thing to do is to develop a habit of continuing to draw even when you're not enjoying it much.
After repeatedly forcing yourself to draw when you don't feel like it, eventually it doesn't feel like a big deal.
Like it may be boring but it won't be difficult to do, if that makes sense.
And don't forget that it's not bad to take a break from studying to draw fun things when you feel like you're losing sight of why you started drawing in the first place.
Hey /ic/,
i've been trying to draw (anime style) for 3 years now, but all i can draw is cute anime girls faces. some times I can draw fine other time I can't draw.
I've been hearing the words study, anatomy etc... alot but ignoring them (thinking i can learn by just drawing anime images i see).
Now i know that's not the right way to do it, i think it's the time to start studying but i don't know how or where to start, and i need your help senpais.
thanks
read the sticky
post in the beginner thread instead of making your own

How often do you draw?
Have you learned the basics of construction? If not, start there. Your drawings will instantly improve. Are you drawing from reference? You need to copy other artist to learn the style, set yourself a standard.
You defiantly need to learn anatomy, but you can't learn anatomy until you learn construction.

If you are a /beg/inner in art, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice. We should not have to make new threads or post in the drawthread with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make someone proud.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead (I recommend ShareX)
#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
#3)

TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.
OLD THREAD: >>2910335
Does /ic/ like hentai, or do you guys just criticize the artwork when you see it and it just ends up doing nothing for you?
>>2905568
i can't masturbate to bad proportions anymor
>>2905575
>TFW you are bad proportions
Only when its well drawn. It seems like the better I get at drawing the supply of good hentai rapidly dwindles. Feels bittersweet.
