This is the only one I have that's even relatively finished. Here's something else I fucked around with for awhile.

Why do you care? Likes on ArtStation (or any other social network) don't amount for shit. That only shows how shit your ambitions are.

>>2443770
that's why the only thing that gives your work value is following / popularity. being 'legit' is completely worthless.

Post art supplies you carry daily. Pens, pencils, journals, books, anything that you draw with when you're out.

For my graphic arts class, we were assigned to make something about a current topic. I took a picture of me holding a sign that says "Cis White Male". Above the picture it says "You are the skum of the earth". I don't know what I was thinking. In a discription I wrote how feminism/black lives matter can be taken too far and; if their goal is equality, then why do some pretend hate is directed only at them? This is a problem because half of the girls in my school are feminists and everyone else won't like it either. It's going to be displayed with the description and my name tomorrow. What can I do?

Go whip up something that you're not as afraid of defending and then talk to the guy in charge and ask if you can change your submission.
Maybe take a picture of a hobo and say something about what a shame it is that some of us have so little or something banal like that.
If you're afraid of confrontation, don't do controversial things.
>>
Or talk to the guy in charge about changing the description if you dont have time/ability to make something to replace it.
Have the description be something that doesn't take a side/vague. That way tumblrinas will look at it and think "a man who acknowledges his own inadequacy!" while everyone else will think the same or think you're doing it in paradoy.
though honestly I don't know why you care about what people who think like that think of you. They're not the sort you'd want in your life anyway.
>>
You probably should have thought about something less controversial, like...I dunno, crumbling infrastructure or something.
I mean, that's at least what I did years ago.
How much is a good price to sell prints at my local comic con next month? I have a booth set up but I was thinking about charging $15 per 16x20 print.

I sold 12x16 prints for $25 at a nice Christmas Art fair in December. I sold 8x10's for $15.
They sold fine, and I made over $1000 in 1 day.

-how much does each print cost you?
-how big is the con?
-how much do you expect to sell?
-are you doing fanart or original?
-if fanart, is it the new hotness and/or classic status properties that are guaranteed to sell or something a bit more obscure?
-if original, do you have enough of a following and/or is your shit hot enough to sell a brand new fan?
16x20 is something that can easily fetch 20-30 dollars if the art's nice enough, but keep in mind that your customers would also have to carry around/transport these prints for a bit (meaning they'd have to REALLY want said print to deal with how unwieldy it'd be) so smaller ones are worth investing in as well, say 8x10 or so for that 10-20 dollar market, maybe even smaller for impulse buy type shit (tho figuring out the ideal numbers to print for postcard sizes is a pain)
to be honest 8x10 or around that size is the goldilocks zone in terms of big enough to be displayed without the hassle of carrying anything more than a pocket folder to keep it nice an pretty after purchase
Do you charge for comissions 100% cost before you start work or are you 50/50?

I hear nothing but horror stories about paying 100% before any work is done.
Most of the time the client is left waiting months later for their commission let alone sketches.
>>
>>2442980
I'm a 25/25/50 guy
Payment first before I start sketch, once approved and I proceed to rendering, I ask them for the next 25% and Ithe last remaining balance will be given before tI give them the hi-res.
>>
>>2442980
100% for anything below a price point, 50/50 if over. It works well so far. Also, you shouldn't take more than 3 commissions at a time, that's where all the horror stories came from. The artist is overwhelmed and end up burnt out and not finishing any commission at all.
What do you think?

Hello /ic/
/dbt/ here.
I am trying to design a patch which will go on the back of my jacket.
Now, I have a design in my head which I want to get embroided. I have found a company which is willing to do it for me as a 1 off (It's usually hard to find anything that does no minimum order)
Anyway, I am struggling with designing it.
Can someone help me?
Do I just give them reference photos and ask them to do it themselves, or should I just send them a final design ?
I'd prefer the final design route.
What's the best file type, art style and referencing method for this kind of thing?
this is the website, maybe you'll be able to tell me what I need to do to get the best result?
I will post images of what I want to make into the patch.
Would this thread be better on /diy/?
apologies if I'm all over the place, slightly drunk and excited to be moving this forward, so i'm a bit hyper.
All and any help appreciated

I don't know how fast this board is.
but a little bump or two for more references.
I want it to be this proud standing winged hussar. With some kind of White and red flag.
>>
>>2440810
What I've been planning to do is to get these images into photoshop and then play with the treshhold to get rid of smooth gradients and therefore be able to embroider it nicely.
Will that be something that works?
>>
>>2440810
It's a really slow board You could probably leave it for a week without needing to bump

Listen up, /ic/.
The sticky isn't as good as it could be, and all this information that would be great to use is split into different places.
We got the google site w-ic-i and the hubpages already, and everyone DOES read them when they come here, right?
But then there is also the book thread, the animation thread, the alternative style thread, the beginner thread, the draw thread, the towergirls thread, and the porn thread, each having their own information pools and links.
The hubpages and w-ic-i don't, and /CAN'T/ update enough to be up-to-date. The only way to keep up all the great information we post for each other is to have us, ourselves, post it.
So why not have a way to do that?
After >>2389472 had the idea for a new sticky thread, I've decided to help and think up of the better way to do it.
So, I present to you, the collaborative sticky:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VfDTpLLVl5bWUGWguswKpPFml533luI8-NBd1EGYHnA/edit
Absolutely everyone can edit. You can add anything you might think is relevant. If you see someone post a cool website, and it helped you out, post it in there.
If you found a great reference pack, either name what it is or post a link to it. If you read a great book that you think would help a lot of us, post it in there.
The point is that it will be a collection of what everyone thinks will help. The ultimate beginner's guide to drawing. Because there is no end to this beginning.
BUT WAIT? IT'LL BE CHAOS! Some cool dude will delete everything! Every third word will be replaced by LOOMIS! Ruan Jia will try to shill on it like no one has ever shilled before!
Well, that's why there will be an uneditable, but viewable edition that'll be the actually majorly viewed sticky/guide. It contains a link to the raw uncensored autism that'll be the editable guide. I'll update the major sticky with whatever contribution I think contributes even a fraction to what could be your god like skill.
Everyone is a work in progress.

I’ll be working on to clean this up/simplifiy sections/adding shortcuts/collaborating all infromation from all generals. This will take a day or five depending on whether I’ve gotten in over my head.
I made it so anyone can also comment on any part of this document if you’d like to get messages across faster and more directly to me, but I will read be reading the editable sticky as often as I can between grinding figure studies.
All my free time until this looks good will be go to insuring this looks good.
After that, I’ll read the edited sticky daily, and update this weekly, or sooner if there is some juicy info that I think needs sharing onto the locked version immediately.
If you want to send messages DIRECTLY to me, send them to [email protected]
ALSO USE THE FUCKING THREAD. I’ll shill this only as much as I think it needs to be. This is a COLLABRATIVE effort. Oriented for beginners, since they are the ones that need the jumpstart, but I'm hoping on it being big enough that it becomes a compendium of resources, and a resource in it's own right.

Ok so
My friend is giving me plenty of shit about this one. He maintains that the bag/head looks disproportionate.
Your virdict, /ic/?
>>
>>2432615
I don't see it, it's a scare crow, how is the sack on a stick disproportionate?
the only thing that i could say in favor if it being disproportionate is how big the buttons are for the eyes, and how small buttons usually are, and even that's stretching it a bit. there are other issues, but proportions isn't one of them.

How do people draw and watch shit at the same time? I mean, that means either you're slowing down your drawing by periodically looking up, or youre missing most of what's going on on the screen.

What is listening.

>>2444658
Not the same thing as watching. Uses a different sensory organ.

Why is "gettin' good" considered such a chore?
A challenge, yeah, but it seems to me that too many people stress out about their art's progress to the point they either call it quits or have a breakdown about it.
Why isn't the quest to get better considered more of a fun journey? Why do we stress starting from an early age? Why can't art be a good, fun discipline for everyone without everyone bursting an ulcer for not being a Picasso?
I feel like all these things just add more stress to the lives of people who really don't need any more of it.
Pic not mine.

Ego investment probably
People who draw tend to be a really sensitive and emotional bunch. A lot of self-comparison, a lot of self-esteem complications, all kinds of stuff
I honestly recommend getting punched in the face, really hard, just once. Sign up for boxing/mma class, get in there and get cracked up
After getting my grill knocked off in the ring, the challenge of getting better at drawing pretty pictures seemed a lot less of a big deal in comparison
