>>2361728
too much hand not enough cute how dare you study and practice instead of entertain

>>2361694
We need a comment/critique function on the site asap. Theres so much potential for that place. I'm ready to ditch /ic/ for good and set up camp with lavaflake.

>>2361732
I'll make some extra lewd tomorrow to make up for it.

I still think that these therads should be a sticky, I mean it's the most dynamic thing on this board

>>2361737
I don't think dividing the community is a good idea. It's only been two weeks, let's not go ahead of ourselves.

I draw every day but never like one individual drawing, just keep working on the same piece until it's finished.

>>2361737
I'm not that crazy about a comment section, but it would be nice if we got a commendable blog/commentary section that you fill yourself. Like you know, a few words about the piece you drew, what was giving you trouble, what were you aiming for etc.

>>2361737
It was said last thread, "No", if you want critiques post in the goddamn drawthread, if you want to circlejerk go to deviantart.

>>2361756
Putting a description on each piece is different to letting people post comments on them, I can get behind letting the uploader append a short description on their pieces, if only to link to refs or whatever rather than having to stick them on the piece itself.

>>2361762
I agree totally, so far this shit works pretty well, some "big" changes would definitely ruin the whole tranquility that it now has.
You should be very careful about the expansion of the site.
also, gj

What this site needs is microtransactions. Where are my goddamn cosmetics Lavaflake?
We need Team Forza and 23:30 stickers and a whole heap of other shit I'm too tired to think of.

i spent the night reworking the site infrastructure so it's now caught up with web2.0 standards and it's possible to start implementing the good features. i also trimmed away 95% of the junk template files and restructured the file system which means I won't have to worry about growing pains in the future.

with that said, before I start implementing all the cool new features i need to get the report system up and running as well as the moderation tools to support it. for example anything to do with changing/updating submissions from behind the scenes involves manual changes in the database, saving the image file then resizing it in photoshop and FTPing it to the server. it's one of those things where spending a couple hours now to make these tools will save me hours every week.

>>2361737
>>2361762
It's been pretty back and forth on whether there should be comments and if there are then how they should be handled. same goes with being able to title/describe submissions. will the descriptions be informative or used to make excuses/another place to link to their patreon (please support my loomis studies)

>>2361767
Yeah changes will be slow regardless of what happens since it's a part time solo project. The main focus of the site will always be to encourage and reward participation. People want more and someday there will be more but it'll come slowly

>>2361786

I like this idea a lot. Even better if you can't see who left the comment. Identities and publicity are what creates drama and circlejerking, so with both of those aspects removed people would have no reason to comment unless they had something constructive to say, or genuinely like the piece enough to tell the artist.

>>2361989
comments in either case, anonymous or not, will create drama, especially if people start shitting on someone over and over again
it's pointless if we can talk in these threads about it instead

>>2361939
5 SCOOPS CMON WHATEVER IT TAKES

>>2361992
Good point, I didn't think of the possibility of one person shitposting on all of someone's submissions even without community encouragement. I guess if someone really wants critique, they can post their name here and just ask.

Why can't we just do critique... here? In this thread?

>>2362005
people are afraid of the mean hacker 4chinz, anonymous post let you be real/mean while names kinda make you nicer? i dont know.

>>2362005
that's what I was thinking, or the drawthread

>>2362005
there's already the other threads on the board for critiques. if it's going to be on ic then may as well use one of them

>>2362007

But the draw thread is slow.. These threads blaze by and we're all commonly motivated.
I think it wouldn't be bad to cultivate our own critique environment. As long as we can keep the circle jerking to a minimum, we can make this community even better than what we have right now.

>>2362008
But LAS is different

>>2362011

Being anonymous in your critique is better.

>>2362014
is it? almost every time someone gets butthurt and asks for a blog

>>2362014
Seconded. Maybe we post whichever piece we're critting so that other anons can agree or disagree with our points?

jfc rippetoe is /fit/'s loomis, hands down. Scooby is vilppu btw.

>>2362011
I think one type of critique that is possible with this as opposed to the draw thread is more of an "overall critique", since we are posting work we are doing everyday, it's easier to point out consistent mistakes as opposed something that went wrong with a singular image.

ups I missed a deadline, guess I'm out.

Guys, guys, How about you can send messages to other artists, but no public comments? How does that sound?

>>2362220
Then again its hard to monitor if those messages are critique, could they be moderated somehow?

>>2362220
>>2362226
everything that requires a third party moderation usually is not a good idea

>>2362226
I don't get why not having a messaging system, public or otherwise, is such a bad thing. It's not like people can't talk shit or compliment people on these threads. If anything, having a name associated with you would get people to play nice

>>2362230
Then the whole of 4chan is not a good idea

>>2361786
Just make it so comments are only visible to the op. It'll discourage shitposting and improve the site.

2h until week 2 entry closes

>>2362270
It's usually not a good idea because it means there have to be people to moderate, and that brings in more human error, trust issues and other hassle which takes away from actually developing the site, I'd rather if users got the option to make their Email public on the profile page so if someone wants to contact them for whatever reason they can communicate that way.

Is anyone here proficient with gestures?
Can someone tell me what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong? I understand what a gesture should accomplish from Vilppu and Proko, simply capture the flow, mass and action of a pose, but I'm not sure if I'm actually getting better or worse and how to correct my strategic mindset to better improve the execution. Much more than "a-ha!" moments I find vast spaces of "what in the fuck am I even doing?"

Guys, is there any chance to become as good as a guy that goes to an artschool?
I mean with hard practice and all that has anyone made it on their own?
Please tell me it's possible.

>>2362747
yes dude its technically possible, that does NOT mean it will be easy. mark my words, you will become your worst enemy.

>>2362747
Yes, of course. Most artschools are a waste of time anyways.

>>2362747
I go to a foreign fine arts college and I've learned almost 90% by myself. First year really opened my eyes to composition and perception though

Most works are shit, most teachers are shit, most people are stuck in their comfort zone forever, some kids even in 5th year are still drawing their deviantart animu

Even then it's the best place to find people who can give you a honest, accurate, useful critique. Out of 50 teachers I think at least 3-4 can do so, and out of my 200 classmates there's about 5-10 that are extremely talented and -most important- very fruitful, always investigating and trying out new stuff. It's no surprise that after all these years they cut off from the rest. For some reason they have me in high regards too.

But anyways as I was saying, it's useful but you have to make it work, if you make the most out of it of course it'll be a thousand times more effective than doodling on your tablet hoping for a good critique on /ic/

The first and most important thing is that you have to learn to say 'I don't like this' and 'this is wrong' to your own drawings, if you achieve this you can be great by yourself, but a second opinion can do wonders

>>2362747
The only thing it's good for is forcing you to actually work instead of slacking off, and having experienced people nearby you can ask questions and get critique from. Otherwise my biggest regret in life was doing a useless creative degree.

Every resource you need to git good is available online and probably better than a school. As long as you actually make an active effort pursue art completely and properly then you're better off 'self-taught'. Fuck art school, wouldn't do it again even if it was free.

>>2362747
The thing some others might not mention is that artschool is good for networking. The few friends out of the dozens I know that graduated from artschools got jobs because their teachers hooked them up.

>>2362816
Networking is actually the only thing I don't need help with since I know everyone in those circles in my country.
But thanks.

You should probably remove the "Follow/Favorite Users" bullet from the task list, LavaFlake. Since you've implemented it already.

>>2362747
I went to artschool, I was lazy, my work doesn't stand out among LAS entries.
Disgustingly I was actually one of the better in my year though, because they don't teach drawing on most fine art courses, most people in my year can only make conceptual work.

Art school is just being NEET with a sense of direction and an excuse, it's still all on you to actually use it.

I need to be drawing but I'm depressed as fuck.

>>2362936
>not channeling your depression into beautiful art
cmon anon step it up

>>2362937
I'm trying. I think I'm better at channeling anger.

>>2362747
I'm in the same boat as this guy >>2362920 Have my BA and everything but my shit looks amateur. Art school doesn't teach you how to draw. The give you a year of the most basic of fundies and the rest is all frosting and courses on how to best follow prompts when you do get jobs.

You're better off taking that 4 years off and doing self study. It'll be cheaper too.

Yours are clean and economic i'd say.

The problem with gesture is that it is very much subjective to the artists who drew it. I think right now you should test it by adding basic forms to the gesture and see if it works or not and then get back to it in 2-3 days.

mfw i wake up, sit down to draw and realize that i cant draw anything without reference

>>2363242
I promise you can, you just haven't decided what you want to draw.

>>2363242
Work on construction. Start with simple blocks and form them like you would if you were working with clay or a similar traditional sculpting medium. That's probably what helped me the most from moving asway from just copying references. It's easy to say you know construction, you construct your way up towards the ref, but you also know where everything will be beforehand because it's right there in the ref. When you're working on your own it's important to work heavier through construction.

That's just how it was for me anyways - maybe you'll find some help in trying to adapt my thinking.

>>2363290
you can do that but how long do you think you'll last? the goal is to form good habits and if you're stockpiling work for days you don't want to draw or if you're submitting old work then how long do you think you'll stick with it?

>>2363382
yep, if you get eliminated then you're kicked out of all active challenges. if you update then it keeps you in all active challenges. this system is to allow new people to join and let the eliminated back in.

there will be topic challenges coming up in the future where you have to draw the suggested topic everyday or be eliminated and they should see a higher turnover rate than the LAS. getting eliminated from one of those won't kick you out of the LAS, as long as you keep submitting.

Wow, this is the first time someone on /ic/ thought I was getting anywhere with these things. Maybe I am actually learning.
I'll take your advice; it's definitely true that lacking the spine / line of action kind of cripples the strength of some of the gestures.
As for adding basic forms, I guess I should start doing form studies along side my gestures and when comfortable with the concept, I'll start taking the next steps to start fleshing out.

Thanks a bunch, guys!

I know that in some timed challenge communities, they have intentionally flexible (but not overly broad) "prompts" from which you can interpret and make your own original work off of.

For example, each day they let you to choose from a set of three prompts like:

Wait, I thought it was just going to be once per week? I'm all for an elimination challenge to keep things interesting, but making you have to draw the same subject matter for the whole week seems harsh to start out with. Maybe we could go with one submission in a week has to fit the challenge at first, then after a while it has to be two days out of the week, and so on building up to the full week of having to draw nothing but the challenge. Then you could even roll it back down to one day. Actually yeah I like the idea of cycles. The first week is one day, next week two days, build to a full week, then restart. Thoughts guys?

Ignorance is bliss. If you find out you have zero, you'll just be upset and ashamed. If you have some, you'll just want more, and your daily drawings will be with the primary focus of getting followers rather than practicing and improving.

>>2363803
I like this idea. If it's randomly chosen it should be hard to abuse. I guess we'll have to see what kinds of things are getting submitted though, ideally the majority would be things like a theme or a specific thing to study, so silly things like a bunch of waifus won't take over. But even if we all have to draw your waifu, it's still probably good practice. Let's just hope we don't get too many Sonics.

Limiting topics to be general and not say for example a single character, but rather a concept like >>2363511 list for example is probably a must for this implemenetation. It doesn't even have to be automated since it's just a once a week thing it can be policed at the time of selection

Leave only neutral stuff

>>2363842

I'm not even a footfag, but don't just leave out a body part that's not even inherently sexual just because it might be controversial. Feet are important and most of us will be drawing them with some frequency whether we particularly like them or not.

> art gallery in 2132

Note the exaggerated anatomy, most notably that of the bulbous rectum of the anthropomorphic tiger and that of the gaping maw of the rabbit that is forcibly consuming the tiger. As we can see by HyperFurryPride132's magnum opus, "Happy Accidents", this bombastic examination of sexuality raises many poignant questions. For instance, the role reversal of predator and prey as facilitated by social media circa 2017, as the victimized gather in numbers to lash back at persecution that undoubtedly was much worse a century ago. Additionally, note the discoloration of the rabbit's diaper marked by this coffee toned shape here and the more subtle tint of pale yellow in the large cloth bulge in the front. There is a palpable irony to the rabbits gluttony, as despite his consumption contributing to his juvenile accident, he continues his ravenous quest with reckless abandon, and with visceral, sexual satisfaction. A statement, perhaps, of the ugliness of revenge and yet its inexplicable power to satisfy us, perhaps even a sexual release, and thus, it's ubiquity. The artist suggests that by feeding upon these impulses recklessly, we find brief satiation and a longing for more, despite the collateral that occurs in the process. Remarkable.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised. I went to an exhibition of stuff done by my school's art students the other day and among the works varying widely in quality was a little binder on a pedestal against the wall. It was full of dA-type stuff, lots of SFW furry art that was obviously done by a young female. It was labelled something like "character design concepts." The art didn't even look bad, the poses were dynamic and the anatomy looked fine, but it was a fucking collection of printed-out digital drawings of anime dogs. It was kind of surreal.

>>2363936

>>2363839
This. The topic would ultimately be what you make it. If some weeb's waifu is the topic and you hate anime, nothing's stopping you from changing the artstyle. If the topic is furfag trash, you can do a study of a real animal or make a badass werewolf or something.

That's what makes it cool: seeing how everybody approaches the topic, especially the goofy ones.

But that's a student/class art exhibit not a public gallery. It's fairly common and there aren't many restrictions.

Yeah, I'm honestly having trouble stinking of a topic that would be impossible to do anything useful with. Even if it's fucking dragon dicks you could treat it as an exercise in color and form. I guess the really specific ones like hyper furry diaper vore would be boring, maybe to prevent that kind of thing there could be a character limit?

>what the fuck do dragon dicks even look like
That's the point. Be creative, faggot, isn't that what art's all about?

>>2363801
You and me both

>>2363977

err well i guess dragons are hybridized from snakes, large lizards and birds with sharp talons so i guess i could create an amalgam of animal dicks

i can't believe i actually used the term "amalgam of animal dicks" what is wrong with you people

my uncle works at lavaflake and he told me that both of you have 0 followers, sorry guys, now back to drawing!

guys, am I the only one with a gigantic lack of motivation lately? the first week went bretty gud, I studied Hampton, tried to apply some poses, I've had a really good time overall
but this weekend I felt so annoyed and forced, and I hate myself for that..
my schedule last year was nonexistent, I drew once a month or so, I hope it just takes some time getting used to
I managed to defeat my lazy self so far, but I fear the day it will take over
