That's okay, work that anger into your art

>want to learn to draw
>experience the most ungodly humiliation when i try to construction-draw and it's shit, even though when i do freehand chickenscratch garbage i'm fine with it being shit and find it pretty fun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!

video of me drawing this from a blank piece of paper is rendering now, 250 minutes remaining, it will be uploaded to my youtube channel tonight

>>88672770
it is intrinsically more humiliating when you actually put effort into something and it gets shat on
but these threads are usually pretty constructive. after all it's not the end of the world if you suck. just something you should be aware of

The first comic I made to test out my new microsoft surface pro!

>>88673787
that font's not terribly readable, but going by the word bubble shapes and placement, and the left-out words like 'of, and plurals, I assume this was just a quickie to test with

I'm sloshed and feel no issue posting some light cheesecake from a year ago; especially since my own cherry cheesecake collapsed in its tray.

Happy holidays.

>>88674998
aw man sorry to hear that. custards are temperamental
that's a fantastic XXXmas card right there.

>>88673787
really nice comic man!! i think you are actually almost as good as me now

>>88673787
pretty nice
I wish I had enough money for a screen tablet

>>88675989
is that what that is?
someone mentioned a generic cintiq in the last thread. I really want to know how either of these work.. but I've gotten so used to a normal tablet, I can't imagine I really NEED one. Plus I'd really need it to be at least 20 inches

>>88672825

10/10!

>>88673374
yep!

>>88674998
Very sexy girl you drew there, could totally fap to her!

>>88675950
hmmmm.... bones complementing dewd? doubt meter is over 9000, i think bones needs to put his trip back on unless that really is bones and he is being retarded or just messing with dewd. Only time will tell

What brands of felt tip pen would people recommend I try? Just starting to draw seriously and I'd like to mess around and see what I like. Using drawabox guy's referral link, so I don't mind splurging a bit.

>>88677856
saw this in the last thread. sorry I didn't reply. I know some people who know a thing or two, including the guy that does >>88673374 this thing? but not sure if that's brushes or pens or what. I'll ask around

>>88677975
Don't go out of your way to research it or anything, I've got a pretty good list already - Sakura, Faber-Castell, Staedtler should give me enough to get a good feel for what I like, I was just curious if something jumped right to mind when I asked.

Logically, if no one feels too strongly, it won't make an insane amount of difference and my skills likely aren't anywhere near good enough to tell most pens apart anyway.

>>88678197
that thing I have where I passively pick up a huge amount of useful information without knowing it, but can't reproduce it on command, only do a good job of answering multiple-choice questions, tells me Sakura is the best. I've heard people talk about it a lot, Faber-Castell less, and the latter not at all.

>>88677856
Sharpie.

>>88672825
>over 4 hours
>just to draw that abortion.

Anyone here have an opinion on Smack Jeeves's new look?

>>88679969
can you show me? I know I didnt like their old one.. was it mandated or was it just the default?
this is exactly the kind of shit I want to get discussed in these threads

The new look is live: http://www.smackjeeves.com/

The previous look was pic related.

This has little effect on the individual comic sites themselves since those are still based on templates and customized html, but the main site and profiles and such got a big makeover.

>>88680357
oh I guess that look was never familiar in the first place. i must have been thinking of drunkduck
oh, their sites are customized? okay so it's no big deal then.
good god though, those example comics on the front page...

>>88672770
You sound like me. And if you're like me, then chances are you're trying to construct something without knowing what it is you really want to construct, whereas freehand turns out better because you don't have any particular goal.

>>88677856
Sharpie, honestly. They're sturdy and they work well.

so close to getting this done on time (which is to say, only 2 days late instead of 3). Oh well, that's what I get for spending ecksmas volunteering.
boxing day comic!
I rolled this one over in my head for way too long. It was hard to decide what her ice powers could do that the room wasn't already doing.
In any case thanks to whoever reminded me to draw Sinciput from some different angles this time. Was it Space Pirate? I think it was.

at least it bumps the thread

Whatever happened to the Batman "work on your art" threads? Did everyone just go to /ic/?
