How do you reliably create a consistent environment for a character to inhabit in a comic?
Like what the fuck, is it just an obscene attention to detail?
>>2887134
Be really good at composition
>>2887134
make a floor plan and explore it in perspective
>>2887134
Study the environment, flesh it out first as a whole and then each individual characteristic. Know why/how those things are there and what purpose they serve.
I really want to start making some money by drawing commissions. Where do I start?
I have been drawing seriously for about one year now, and I feel I'm at the same level that I see other artists earn money
I enjoy drawing with pencil, is this bad if I want to make money?
What kind of subject should i draw to get the most commission requests?
What sites is the best ?
Are there enything else I should know?
>>2886849
what are you willing to draw?
Porn? Sfw? Deviantart OCs?
>>2886855
At this point i just want to start earning some money.
I would like to not draw porn, but if thats the best and easiest way to earn money, maybe I should.
>>2886861
porn is definitely the easiest way to make money, but if you want to save your integrity then there are other ways.
First, it's vital that you identify your target audience. Who would be willing to spend money on what you draw? Where do they gather on the internet? You have to associate yourself with them, become a part of their community, make friends and acquaintances. Don't be a douche, don't express controversial opinions.
Second, build up a decent portfolio of what you're offering and be very specific about your terms and prices. Don't half ass your work, and when you do get commissions, make sure you're putting your best work out. Always try and exceed your client's expectations, their reactions alone will fuel you forward.
Third, be prompt and on time. Don't leave your client waiting for weeks on end with no updates. You'll get loyal clients who will give you multiple commissions if you don't let them down.
I am a traditional artist and I get commissions online, so yes it's possible. People will sometimes hire you specifically because you're traditional, and sometimes they'll prefer digital. That's fine, it's a huge sea of competition so anything to set you apart is a plus. I offer the option to ship the original version of the artwork to them, and some people will hire you based on that.
Hope that helps, good luck.
how would one make a drawing in style of pic related? is it a pen drawing?
>>2886766
It's a pen drawing with a screentone for the background, and it is an homage to a drawing by MC Escher of him holding a spherical mirror.
>>2886766
It's pen but the original is pencil. Could be done with digital or anything else too if you know how to draw and render.
>>2886766
It's not really right to say it's pen. It's ink.
Who's the artist that made these Disney concept sketches? I've seen a bunch of these sets and absolutely love how structured, yet expressive they are.
Some Korean guy.
>>2885968
You know his name?
>>2885970
Who fucking cares?
How can you make a jump from porn to SFW art?
I ask because won't your older fans want you to keep doing porn, when you just want to evolve and get a real job in art?
kys, mate
Don't attach your real name to your porn, draw in a different style for your professional work.

Are these threads reportable yet?
Who else draws with Col-Erase pencils?
I do.
>>2884289
what's the coloring done with?
are copics worth the money? I bought two today but they are a lot darker than I expected, and if most people think they aren't good then I'm not gonna go buy another one. They're fucking expensive.
god this artist fucking sucks, granted the added image is from a "paperdoll" set all of their poses are like this, being stiff and unisteresting.
i'm going to add more context to show how triite they are
nobody cares
look at this fucking pose, all this artist does is 3/4 view and the character waving. also look at their fucking tumblr ocs
Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads 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.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, there is a question thread for that.
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)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint

Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.
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: >>2885806
So, I've been doing my reading on perspective and such, all of Perspective Made Easy and a bit from Robertson's How To Draw, and I've come across this situation in one of my commissions.
If I swiveled the chair an arbitrary amount (in this case, 45 degrees, w/e,) how do I construct the chair? In my head, I saw new converging lines, so I made a new VP, but that can't be right, not when it's so close to the other one.
>>inb4 /beg/
Posted, no niggers were posting so late at night, figured I'd make this thread so maybe someone would actually see it.
Throw me some more literature, if I need it. been steadily working through Robertson and kekking through Loomis, but I take my time.
fuuuuuck my entire ass, that's not even the right pick. fuck I'm tired.
>>2887565
ever tried 2 point perspective? or 3 point perspective? possibly 4 point perspective? hell maybe try 5 point perspective? maybe have more than 1 vanishing point?
If the top half of the chair can only swivel/rotate, maybe the vanishing point of the top half would differ from the bottom half?
>>2887570
I practice 2 point as warm up, using the stuff from like Han and Drawabox and Robertson. 3 point is next on the list to start doing as w/u.
I suppose the root question is, can I have another vanishing point so close to the other one? Seeing as it's for a different object?
Can someone give some colour and blood to my dnd character please?
I know you're not asking for a critique but perhaps if it's not too much trouble you should look up into re-doing those hands, they seem a bit wonky, perhaps making him have sausage fingers would be in-character
Beg thread they helped me a lot.

What does /ic/ think of El Greco?
>>2888675
I respect him for doing things his own way. Some of his stuff I really love and some of it I don't really like that much.
