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.

>inb4 a bunch of jealous butthurt about minor errors

seriously though, its usually decent but they also do a whole lot of stupid shit.
It depends on which splash art you talk about. On average they're pretty decent, good composition, decent anatomy, good choice in colors and design.


but then you get shit like this.

The newer stuff is great, the older stuff is trash. I especially like the new Gangplank artwork.

This is OP what about cho' gath's anatomy? Do you think it's to stickly?

My thoughts:

You're really young. As you grow older and apprehension mounts (as you ralize your deficiencies) self-discipline takes over as the main motor of your daily practice in joy's stead. Use your brain to find subjects that need tackling, don't listen to anxiety. Doodling is srs business, eyes on the prize and push on.

You'll fuck yourself if you don't leave the monster comfort zone. I had that too, it's a comfort zone. Make humie monsters and humies. This is a very anthropocentric discipline, the human figure is the most familiar form to your viewers, you'll be judged by it and the standards are harsh by comparison to everything else.

>>2464366
That picture is disgustingly ugly.

>>2464366
Study figures and facial anatomy then, a lot more than you think can be applied to what you are doing.

Even an hour a day can go a long way, you'd want to focus most of your energy to studying animals, character design and things like that however.

I've been looking for many alternatives and over researched for pretty much all cintiq alternatives and i always find things like, bad drivers that don't work with all
art programs, lines lag and create polygons when drawing too slowly, dead spots on the screen as you can see the pixels but when you pass your pen from the spot it
does not register, overheating, bad colors but that's almost to be expected, completely broken in like 3-4 months, i've had my intuos 4 for 6 years and it works great so that is really scary.

Now not even wacom is perfect, but if 2k can't get you perfection imagine what the 400 dollars chink shit will get you, i ended up getting a cintiq 13HD and its great,
i do comics and inking so the space feels plenty for me, just like the space i have with paper.

>>2463022
nice try wacom of nippon

Is there any real advantage to Clip Studio Paint over Photoshop or SAI? I was interested in getting PRO for the animator feature but the full version is only for EX.

Which tablet should I buy? Should be affordable, but not frustrating to work with

My hand's starting to hurt from drawing. It's not in my wrist it's I think in the mass below my thumb. Has this happened to somebody/does it matter or is it just muscles getting worn out that'll get strong again?

>>2460796
people aren't going to care about your name as long as your art is good and a good name wont make up for shit art.

>>2460796
you're overthinking this shit. If you want to go pro (no doing animu shit/fanart pandering)/patreon), just use your god given name. Unless you have a pretty common or forgettable name, stay the fuck away from online handles or cute nicknames. Not to mention there must be a ton of shit with the Nemo handle, which can screw up your ranking in google search. You want your site to be the first thing that pops up when someone searchs for you on Google and with a name as generic as Nemo you're pretty much fucked.

>>2460796
you'd generally want to use a name that isn't taken so you're fresh on google's SEO and all your pages register first

dont look for him here, family

$150, $175 if you want it color

You fool. That is a still from a cinematic master class. It really is one of the best films in history- right up there with Metropolis or Citizen Kaine.

Disgusted you do not know this.

First question I would ask is have you ever tried doing color charts to get to know what kind of shit you can output with the colors you have?
You need to be able to mix the colors you have in small increments to achieve at least a few intermediate steps. Then if you are painting from a reference be it life or photo, your task basically to find which swatch on your color chart is closest to area on the reference source...
If you are not working from reference, then you can prepare a certain limited area of your charts and use only those colors to represent everything.
For OP picture - you used colors that are sort of complementary and that is good. It is not good to use them in same chrome (don't make both orange and blue too strong, make one of them dominate and mix that one in the other to neutralize it a bit....)

>>2464356
Are you using markers?

I started colors with markers, and all my shit was always over saturated. Actually, it's still over saturated. I've been trying to color more drawings lately and use color palettes that I find appealing, but it's been a long road. I haven't found a fast way to practice colors to get a lot of mileage under my belt.

I'm all ears if you figure it out OP

>>2464356
Also, we kind of already had a color thread going >>2461859 there are a few good tips in there

>expecting knowledge of how to produce art to be spoonfed to you like a babby
