It depends on the paper and the size of the image. 300 is the minimun
How do I achieve Ruan Jia's rendering skills? No matter how much time I spend on my art, it doesnt get even close to his, whats the issue here?

Beginner Thread
Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make your mom proud.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, There is a question thread for that.
Visit the usual "Art book Thread" to find your desired books.
Do not forget to PLEASE RESIZE and crop your images before uploading them. 1kpx is fine.
Before asking "what should I read/view/study/learn," Read the f*cking sticky, it's there for a reason: >>1579290 → → → →
There's a new sticky in town! You can see it at https://www.reddit.com/comments/46sb9k/
>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

It seems to be referring to composition, the second being geared more towards composition with a single person/figure in mind.
I'll provide a more thorough translation in a bit.

I want to start making prints for my art and selling them. I can't seem to figure out if it will be worth it to buy a good printer or have a printing company do them. Does anybody have experience in this or any advice?

Do it manually the old fashioned way with woodcuts. You'll be praised for eccentricity and trying to revive an old technique. People will buy your shit no doubt.

Any artists reading this, I have a favor. I have this gaming and animation club at college, it's pretty fun, but our logo sucks donkey balls. Pic related.
We need a new one. A better one. We need a logo that screams "video games and cartoons/anime". It has to incorporate those 2 things into one logo. Anyway is fine as long as it isn't sexually explicit or graphic.
Think you guys are up for it?

he was just being cheeky. it's against the rules to request free art on this board, tho you might be able to get someone from a draw thread on a different board to help you. if you're willing to shell out some cash then you might get some takers, but something like this might be more up /gd/'s alley anyway

Should we have a health thread? Just tips that people found in taking care of their mind and body for the sake of remaining consistent with workflow.
Post your health tips/ articles here. Maybe realism when it comes to scheduling work when you're just starting out. Have you tried adderall to stay consistent? Have you learned not to drink coffee if you struggle with ADD or ADHD?

Don't take drugs, just eat healthy and set plenty of small, easily achievable fitness goals to focus on instead.
Your body will thank you for it.
- Milk, orange juice
- Fruits, apples, pears, bananas
- Cram spinach in with as much of your food as possible
- Tuna, almonds
- The occasional bread, potato and red meat
- If you want to eat fish, get cheap cod from a market
- Choose fitness goals that you can achieve quickly, in say 5 to 10 minutes. Do these frequently during the day when you're restless and need a break from work (at least a total of 30 minutes a day spent doing physical activity, recommended is an hour if possible). This will keep the body active, and will be far more rewarding than taking drugs just to force it into a state of "remaining consistent".
Heck, even if you're just doing jogs around the block, or lifting milk jugs full of water, or doing wall sits with something heavy balancing between your knees. All of these things help greatly.

>>2421167
Some health tips myself (even so I am not that healthy because I don't sleep or eat properly)
-Exercise daily, it helps focus, a little jog or a long walk helps.
-Drink tons of vitamin C because having colds or the flu sucks (Anything else I can bare with I think)
-Avoid coffee, drink tea if anything (not because drinking coffee is not healthy, but because the less you drink coffee the more effective it is when you need it, developing a immunity to it is not the best)
I think I have some more but let's see if anyone is interested, I think is very important because you see fucking fossils like vilppu still teaching and shit.

Lets say you havent drawn seriously for a year
You were used to do different kinds of studies, from life and imagination and etc.
But all of a sudden you stopped drawing, could be because life is getting stressful, lots of stuff to take care of, not so much spare time anymore.
This is my case, i havent been productive for a looong time, only been doodleling small stuff that i end up hating because it has no purpose.
How does someone get back into that drive of drawing all the time and feeling great about it?
Anyone know any exercises that are great for getting back on track?
Every time i try to do a figure study, i always end up getting frustrated because the drawing is bad. And then i go play video games.
How do you accept your ugly drawings without giving up on them?
I always end up giving up and do something else. This is a big problem i guess.
How 2 move on and be cool about it?
Im currently working on a portrait, which i have been editing for a while, because i never really feel satisfied with it, maybe because its such a long time since ive been painting/drawing, so my skill is low and i guess i dont have a lot of patience.
I just wanna have the confidence and security that i had when i was drawing every day.

how about you just go draw

Rome wasn't built in a day... go learn fundamentals, go learn your subject, everything takes time and having good fundamentals is the beginning for doing anything well.

Really? I think no matter what happens you can always spend at least 1 hour drawing every day.

Where do you guys go to get commissions? Do you just go to forums and beg for them? How do you get people to come to you?

Git gud, show up for two years being consistent with a certain theme around your work, and it being good, and you'll get an audience. Once you have that, you can just post up that you're doing commissions if people aren't asking you to do things for them already.
