Draw a towering figure above the horizon line while successfully foreshortening parts of the figure, be creative with the gesture and put emphasis on the hands as this will help give a strong gesture. Keep the figure as close to life as possible, do not stylize or deviate away from life. Do not be afraid to use classical construction, get to it.

Just start with Flash. It's simple enough to ease you into the basics. Be sure to save often, though.

alright then i originally didn't want to torrent flash because im a little bitch but I guess I might as well, thanks!

>>2486553
you could try plastic animation paper or easy toon. not as good as flash though and still probably more complicated

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [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?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
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.

After years of putting it off, I've decided to kick inertia to the side and finally start practicing drawing. I have a few beginners tutorials set up, I've set a space and a time to practice, I've read up on grips and on how to use your shoulder... but that left me with a question. What hand should I use?
Although I'm a lefty, whenever I've imagined myself drawing I see myself using the right hand for some reason. I read an article a few years ago that stated people should draw with the hand opposite of the one they use to write since, for the brain, writing and drawing are completely different skills. Using the other hand would lead you to develop your skills without the interference of the habits you've developed to help you write.
I can't find this article now, no matter how much I try. All I find are webpages saying you should draw and write occasionally with your other hand to promote brain tissue growth or giving hippie testemonials on how it'll allow you to draw your "inner emotions" better.
At the same time, although I don't want to go pro with my drawing, I also don't want to regret doing it like this five years down the line, when I realize one can never reach the same skill-level with their non-dominant hand as they would have with their dominant one.
Does anyone have any experience on this subject? Can people reach the same level with whatever hand they start drawing with, or would the non-dominant one eventually plateau lower than the dominant one?

Do you think it's worth doing lewd loli commissions to pay the bills?
I do NSFW stuff that falls into the "normal" range, and I do get a few commissions a month but I'm at the point where I feel like I can't afford to say no to someone who wants a loli piece. I don't have anything against loli personally I'm just concerned about whether or not it could come back and haunt me in the future. I'm leaning towards it not being worth it, but maybe I'm overly paranoid.

All you have to do is call it a 400 year old succubus/demon/vampire whatever and remember loli is a body type not an age group :^)
>>
>>2489426
That doesn't even look like a loli. Just a thin 18 year old girl that's been shift scaled down in size.
Like the body is loli, but the face looks twenty-thirty. Too sleek and sophisticated.

>>2489426
how exactly do you get commisioned do you get contacted in email by people asking to draw you shit? Do they even pay in advance or what? What if you draw them there shit and they dont pay?

New York based painter and illustrator Mike Perry is an artist working in a variety of mediums, once describing his collection of works as having an “antsy” energy. He doodles around the clock, whether creating new typefaces for his graphic design work or new burst of colorful characters that amass in his paintings. At his website, he writes that his creative goal is “to conjure that feeling of soul-soaring wonder you have when you stare into distant galaxies on a dark night, when you go on long journeys into the imagination, when you ponder what it is that this life is all about.”

How much work is art school actually? And what art schools are just looking for warm paying bodies
My mom wants me to do something other than NEET after I've spent a few years out of high school ostensibly working on my portfolio and I have nothing else I'd want to do so I might as well go because we're wealthy and she's footing the bill, but I really don't want to put in the work, and if we were really honest with each other we'd just admit that family money will be funding my lifestyle for the rest of my life and I'll never actually do a dimes worth of work in my life but we aren't exactly to that point yet. I practice maybe half an hour each week and have no intention of changing but I don't want to have to say I failed out of literally the easiest college option there is in the world.

You know I was going to give you some advice, but your post just filled me with contempt.
I almost suspect this is trolling, but I'll answer the question anyway.
Art School is exactly as hard as you make it. If you want to do the bare minimum of work you can probably pass all your classes and graduate without much difficulty, but you'll never make it as a professional and your degree will just collect dust.
Since that seems to be your goal, you should go apologize to your mother for wanting to waste her money like that.

No, see. They don't want to be an artist. They want to slack their way through school so they can convince their mother that they're doing something, anything with their lives.
Why don't you go to school of visual arts in NY, OP, if you're hell bent on this ridiculous course of life? My roommate went there, and he says that they'll let anyone in.
But, they actually have talented and experienced teachers there, so if you change your mind and actually feel like doing something with your life, you'll be in a place with actual resources and quality teachers.

I am becoming 27 in a month and I've barely picked up a pen since I was in elementary school. I can't afford fancy wacom tablets, I have depression, I need to get a job or start school, I should deal with my weight and stillborn social life, and I have little motivation.
All I want to do is draw porn and design characters. Is it too late for me?

never too late, brah, and all you need is the cheapest pencil and paper you can find, but usually when people are depressed failures they tend not to stick with anything so I don't know if you should bother if you aren't concerned with improving anything else about your life.

Found these while looking for soundtracks to listen to. Apparently they were printed in the booklet for the OST release. The game is Threads of Fate by Squaresoft.
