Action figures count, by the way.

If you're willing to throw lots of money at japanese people, these are probably the best:

I was looking at these, but the fucking anime faces and body types really turn me off. There's gotta be something a little more realistic, right?

Do you have art and design skills? You sound like you don't have any silkscreen experience yet. Do you have business and marketing skills?

You know, this could be a fun and profitable small business, but I gotta be honest with you: don't spend you last $200 bucks expecting to figure out how to make a reliable income on shirts. Save up $1,000 doing a shitty part time job or something, while you work on your designs, then play around with printing and selling. You can find a niche market, but this isn't the 90's anymore.

But yeah. Go for it. You just don't have enough money to get it going now.

I have a decent pull as I do a little promotion/marketing on the side. My idea is to start off printing merch for local bands and selling them in bulk while having my own online store for everything else (also want to have my own recognizable brand of clothing eventually)

>>2462837
desu this sounds like a good idea. B4 you start make sure you have sure deals from those local bands

I do my drawing on cardboard, then trace it onto tracing paper. I transfer my drawing to my watercolor paper using architects transfer paper which is like graphite paper but is not as dirty. I than have a good solid drawing which may or may not be seen in the finished painting depending on how transparent my finished painting is. I have used this system for years, sometimes using graphite if I want fainter lines. I rarely if ever draw on my watercolour paper.

Spritz your sketch with water, that'll help the graphite sink into the fibers some before you start painting.

If you want to use a fixative, make sure you sketch with a hard graphite, 2b and harder should be fine, and only apply a reeeeeeally light application of fixative otherwise you're going to interfere with your paper's ability to absorb pigment.

I would recommend experimenting first on some scrap paper before you commit to a larger piece.

Wasting oil on that shit? Are you mad?

>>2462080
well thats rude, I dont fucking know man. i was gonna do it as a painting or something.

>>2462012
Please donate your oils to the blind instead.

Seriously buddy, get a firmer grasp on drawing before you start painting.

I recently downloaded pencil brushes and it feels much better for sketching, I was with default brush for a long time and it always felt messy

Gotta use good brushes settings too

brushes literally don't matter for shit

There is nothing you can't draw or paint with just the built-in brushes

if you feel some other brushes are more comfy or work better for you, use them, but don't waste more time on thinking about brushes than you have to, it's just procrastination and won't improve your art or skill in any way

>brushes literally don't matter for shit
Spoken like a true fucking idiot.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS

wow

>>2461575
wow.
that's the pope, right?

>>2460912
ya draw on the outline of the drawing with the dry pencil then with a dampened brush you spread the color and stuff.
But I could focus less on coloring and more on actual drawing and structure because so far, I don't really like what I'm looking at... and my neck aches.

just.... stop drawing

what if im both too autistic to leave my parents' basement AND i have friends who come over to be drawn? feels good anon

How do I pick something to paint? I can't stand to look at myself so self-portraits are out of the question and I don't have any friends.

Massive variety of subject matter not immediately available.
Convenience.
The subject doesn't move.

Either you're shitposting or you're retarded, the reasons are obvious.

irl sculpting is hard, the medium is stubborn and won't lose mass when you will it. I thought It'd be more intuitive, but fuck no.

>Did you know that due to recent events the market for little plastic fantasy men is opening up pretty well?

Sounds like a dead end, when you account for 3D printing. A million people can order the same figurine (dl the print data for free even), can print tweaked game characters etc. while a thousand artists sell nothing. If you manage to make a name for yourself early on you can perhaps be the go-to artist on some internet site for generic sculptures for quite a while, but you'll be an exception.

Then you have of course the snobs, who want one of a kind, but those don't differ from what sculpture market always was and plastic won't satisfy them.

Comission work is how it'll look like for most people in the end. Just like illustration.

I'd say if you aim for trad sculpting you cover snobs, if digital go make assets for something biugger, than just the sum of shapes you commit to red clay.

What recent events?

>>2459498
ignore this cunt.
Get into sculpting miniatures.
its hot as fuck at the moment.

Frostgrave is blowing up at the moment for example

I don't have one folder. Art has been part of my life too long to be able to organize everything nicely.
It's spread around multiple harddisks and in all sorts of folders. You can probably find art in my porn folders and porn in my art folders.

nice try bobby jew, you are not about to bust me for ripping your entire site privately.

>>2458139
What this guy said; it's not just in one folder but in many.

I can if I'm on my back and I have a hard surface (clipboard, tablet etc..)
chest down or sideways I can't though.

>>2457502

I do all the time, mostly while watching tv, but it's pretty clear it's not an effective way to draw. You can't use your whole arm if you are on your stomach and are still pretty limited on your back.

>>2457502
I usually have to prop myself by putting pillows underneath my titties, so I'm more of a raised position? but then I can, just fine.

>>2461925
his tits look like cones

>>2461925
looks nothing like the character

>>2461959
?

Colors.

You could go 'painting', 'concept art', 'illustration'. You could describe what's in the picture itself, 'mountains', 'forest', 'lake'. 'crowd', 'cityscape' 'landscape', etc. You could describe the mood, 'dark', 'warm', 'mysterious', etc.

If you want to just tag the hell out of it, just be as descriptive as possible, tagging each individual thing. In my experience, tumblr's search engine is pretty weak, so tagging it with whatever you can will probably help more people find it.

I constantly hear that only the first five count on Tumblr - if that's the case what's the point of the rest?

I can respect the craftsmanship that goes into something like that and the patterns are kind of cool but I'd never eat off of something that loud, personally.

>>2449316
I agree with you 100%.
