but it won't do any harm if you draw /co/ waifus on your anime style, what is making you go from anime to toons anyway? i don't think it worths changing your aesthetics just because of your new waifu.
dear people, quick question.
Although I know charcoal pencils (in specific generals charcoal pencils) is better on textured paper, I'm wondering if I can still make it work on standard printing paper.. Is it possible?

Yes.

Will look like shit, but yes. Newsprint is cheap as fuck.

Printer paper has no grip so the charcoal will be easily smear. I would suggest spraying it with workable fixative as you go.

Hello /ic/!
This is a work I did for a commission.
It will be installed in the lobby of a building in NYC.
Dimensions is 4 1/2 ' by 3 1/2 '
I constructed the frame and stretched / primed the canvas. The paint is oil. Thanks for your time.

I live in NYC. I'll keep an eye open for it.

Looks cool. If you earn some money with that commission, go buy a dslr camera. Nikon D3200 is a good choice.
Could anyone give any criticism or any ways that I could improve on this concept

Thanks for this. I literally just discovered I've developed carpal tunnel three days ago. I've been working for over a decade and never imagined it would happen to me. So I knew nothing about it really, including the most ideal hand stretches. I will try to do these often. Thanks again.

Everyone should get themselves a wrist brace to wear while you're asleep, so you could recover better. This shit helps greatly, as well as taking frequent breaks and doing stretches.

Use Krita if you want free software
Buy SAI if you want to use it. It's an affordable software, and other softwares should follow it's examples.
Clip Studio Paint is pretty good, and has been at discounts rather often. Keep an eye out.
Animation Software:
Krita is free, and has an animation plugin.
EasyToon is free, but it's almost like the MS Paint of animation. Good for fucking around as a beginner.
TVP is expensive as fuck. No torrent for 11 afaik. It's the objectively best animation software.
Flash/Animate is ok. Havent tried ANIMATE personally, but I enjoy flash, despite it being rather heavy to run. Japanese tend to draw on small canvases, and then upscale before export.
Lastly: Fuck photoshop. Use a software made for drawing.

>Lastly: Fuck photoshop. Use a software made for drawing.
I don't think photoshop deserves the hype of being "the only worthwhile program" that some retards give it because it's industry standard, but it is industry standard.
Many very good artists who produce very good art use photoshop. It's completely functional and has a lot of useful tools. It certainly has some flaws that other programs address, but other programs also have flaws / missing features that photoshop has. It's a give and take.
I'd still vouch for Clip Studio, though. It's pretty good. Personally I alternate between that and photoshop.

Her advice on art school. To be fair, she was already immensely talented during high school. She didn't even really need college.
>>
You're not going to learn much unless you tackle some really good personal studies. In the end, it all comes from you and what you can do. Sure, SVA may pave a pathway for you to tackle, but it isn't going to make it any easier. What's worse is, when you find out you've already been taking the path they are teaching.
Ok, so I'm an aspiring game artist, and I need an opinion on my art. As of now, you guys are my only known resource.
I need to know a way to create a chain along the dotted line quickly. I can't think of a way to do it as of now that won't take at least an hour.
Also, if you see anything else you think might need changing, please let me know. This is my first time posting here, as /b/ would never give me a straight answer.

no, it makes your art look better and the process faster and more pleasant
Dear art guys, I've recentely started studying urban spaces and mobility, and would like dearly to sketch them, crudely, for further reference for my studies. I wanted to do really simple stuff, with just a pencil and paper, really.
Is there any beginner's tip, or do I just try to do it until I get good? Also, any tips for general improvement or whatnot are mostly welcome.
Thanks a lot.
ps: pic unrelated.

Study perspective and how basic shapes work with perspective and that will get you 80% of the way there.
Check out Perspective Made Easy for a good intro to it. I don't know about books more specifically tailored to your goals but I'm sure they exist.
>>
Like >>2429939 said, Perspective made easy is very good, important to learn especially for drawing buildings n shit and easy to digest.
But here are 2 good books on top of that 4 u my nigger. The first one is an introduction to drawing with the urban sketching as the main subject. The second one is more of a collection of urban sketches from a bunch of different artists. It's good to learn from the pieces of other artists.
Pencil sketching:

>The Art of Urban Sketching
This is my favorite art book.
It's pretty useless for a beginner to learn how to draw, but it has great tips on how to draw urban spaces.
Great information on materials, which can be very useful to beginner urban sketchers.

Anyone saved that leyendecker pic of a guys face where was smiling/grinning in a slightly goofy manner?
It was an attractive blonde guy. I thought I had saved it bc it looks 100% like a buddy of mine (who grins in the exact same way) but now I can't find it anywhere on my pc.
halp??? it was posted on here a week or so ago.

You've mistaken something anon.
The "spark" isn't some metaphor for creativity or passion.
The "spark" is your ability to keep on going despite the challenges or despair. The "spark" is what keeps you drawing when everything turns out as shit. The "spark" is what keeps you going, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health.
You don't make it without the "spark", however, there are some who go their entire life without realizing they have the "spark". The "spark" does not care for itself, the "spark" will help you selflessly without you being any the wiser.
Sometime you ink is refilled and you have no idea why, some days you wake up motivated to draw, other times a mistake suddenly looks like a blessing. Its at these times you realize the "spark" isn't just walking beside you, its been carrying you all along.
