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.

Belief. Especially in aesthetic relativism

Everyone already knows the Fine Art Market is a scam. The real discussion is how much of a scam is the Commercial Art Market? Are illustrators making enough for the work they get? Will all the design jobs get filled up or will there always be room?

>>3095484
Anyone with half a brain knew this already.

>>3095485
Say what you want it's still a decent video explaining something most of us are familiar with, though.

As for the commercial art market that's just the same as any job. A voluntary contract between individuals or an individual and an organization for a set amount of work involving a set amount of pay cannot be a scam as long as all the cards are on the table.

Anime has anatomy, foreshortening and construction.

ic always claims you have to be able to draw realistic humans first before anime, which is true to some extent. But come one, there is so much stylized mangaka out there, and youre telling me these mangaka never hide behind the anime style because they cant draw it 100% realistically? Youre saying mangaka dont make proportion and anatomy errors here and there and try to use tube arms to make it look presentable?

This is why i dont take this meme 100% at face value

>>3077016
What do you use anon ?
Moe character no kakita here.

I love me some generative art myself but knowing /ic/ everyone is gonna piss on anything generated or modern/conceptual.

>>3096024
But that's a squid?

>>3096028
Or a kid?

>>3096024
hey baby, would you like some japanese hentai action?

While we're on the subject, do you anons know of a good cheap sketchbook with a fine tooth? I need one for practicing with nib pens

>>3096151
it's a sketchbook, get the best ratio page/price, on the long term it's the best

>>3096151
I'm super picky about the paper so I prefer to buy mine locally so I can touch the paper and flip through it. When the size isn't comfy or the paper is flimsy it just kills me inside.

I feel like its close to being finished I just feel it could use something more idk. OP

>>3095242
Not sure if you're really going for the likeness of the actor, but I think that would give it the extra push. The eyes, mouth and nose seem larger.

Also your values seem flat. Maybe you can darken the background or add more light to Jon to make him stand out and create distance in the painting.

>>3095265
I'm self taught so I'm not an expert on values but wouldn't making the background darker or Jon lighter make them blend into each other rather than creating distance?

>>3088979
If you had any shred of figure drawing skill you'd have no problem reading and mimicking your favorite cuckime artist's style.

>>3088979
its quite easy:
1- dont draw moe
2-study fundamentals
3- get your own style, stop trying to copy japanese trash

>>3088979
JESUS, you trying to draw an alien?
if that's what those japs do, no wonder they're so interested in probing

>Requests for free work of any sort are forbidden.

>I'm not sure what I could give in return.

How about money

>>3095886
Seems like an odd rule considering non art boards do drawthreads like /b/ and /tg/. You'd think the board dedicated to art would do so as well.
