I didn't even improve. I'm still ass.

read them all, but i wonder what /ic/ thinks

alright who here has experience dealing with trying to calibrate one of these fucking things? I recently got a Huion GT 220 (also with the 8192 levels of pressure update) and this fucking thing ALMOST works but the god damn cursor offset is making it unusable. I tried calibrating so many damn times, even trying to purposely mismatch some of the dots to try to counteract the offset but to no avail. How the fuck do you fix the cursor offset? I'd assume a solution for one of the Huion pen displays should work for others. muh googlefu has failed me these past few days

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?

>The original developer of the site has taken a leave for quite a while, originally due to medical reasons. Progress on the site is almost non-existant at this point. You can try contacting him at @LavaFlake or emailing him at [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?

>Your streak will go back to 0 and you will have to start again. No other penalties.

How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?

>There is no week system anymore, instead new users are given "streaks" based on the number of consecutive days you can submit without getting eliminated. (token losses do not reset your streak)

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.
there. kick rocks.

First, you have to have to have sex with and then sacrifice a goat to Satan and then you have to molest a little boy, then will you be able to draw like Hirame.

>>3061835
In that order?

>>3061837
The molestation part can go first or last, but all 3 need to be within the time frame of a few months.

It's best to to have sex with and then sacrifice the goat in the same day, preferably during the winter solstice

I think it helps to have some sort of semi serious project that you can apply your studies to. It should also give you challenges that force you to "solve problems with what you have learned. Also draw as much as possible from life, and try to get to the point where you can draw moving objects. Books and teachers are fantastic for helping you gain an understanding of the principles,

Personally I'm focusing on perspective and anatomy for the next few months, I draw gestures and quick sketch's in public places, and at home sometimes, then go home and "graft" the muscles and bones over the top.

>>3080396
maybe we could have a feel general where you bitches can put all your 'wah wah art isn't magic' posts together, so the rest of us can do art things undisturbed

>>3080413
All interesting points. /ic/ has implanted in me almost a desperation to focus on gains that I have probably been shunning my creative side. Moving objects would be a real challenge that I should probably embrace. I take my sweet time getting all my proportions right, and I get all flustered if my subject moves.

Grafting muscles as an exercise is also creative. You work on your memory or is it more a chance to study?

No, we'll only approve of you if you take up window cleaning or anesthesiology, all other jobs are frowned upon here.

>>3080144
i would research what the job market looks like for someone that knows technical drawing without an engineering or industrial design background. I'm sure you'll pick up things from both..but i'm not sure guy who just does technical drawings is much of a thing anymore. tell me if i'm wrong.

>>3080096
People can tell the difference quite easily. Most just don't care. Your picture is a good example of something that wouldn't be achievable by most artists even if they were using photos.

for the same reason I don't care to learn grime art, found object art, abstract expressionism and a hundred other movements. The philosophy doesn't appeal to me, the method doesn't appeal to me and the results don't appeal to me.

I'd rather slave away with archaic methods than piss about with some business ethic that emphasizes quantity and minimizes human expression. The day I let my taste be determined by deadlines and despot art directors I might as well off myself and be done with it.

So what if laymen think it looks cool, sure, go ahead and lick their balls if that's what gets you going in life. Not my thing.

At the end of the day, even in the hands of a skilled artist, photobashing looks sterile. The ugliest, messiest art can make sense in the right situations but sterile art is an inexcusable offense

tldr

idk, it ain't perfect but I have fapped to your lapis so..

There's already an art blog thread and multiple threads for critiquing beginners, people doing alternate/stylized art, etc. A thread died for this shit post

>>3079952
I made a new account on there a month ago and my first note was someone asking me to draw furry porn.

>>3079952
Why are people who use anecdotal evidence to then make an idiotic, broad statement always such idiots?

Do people on that website seriously not understand what a commission is?

Clip Studio Paint

Cheap, fast, lots of options.

been tinkering with various open source softwares and here's what I've got so far

>Krita
Krita is probably better than Sai and has a community that's constantly working to improve upon it. I'd use it as the photoshop of my setup, mostly using it for raster sketching, colors, and something that I love doing with the recent update is storyboarding in the animation-mode

>Inkscape
with Krita as your photoshop, this is gonna be your adobe illustrator
when I first read Scott McCloud's book on making comics, he mentioned using Illustrator for lettering, and I don't think there's a thing you can do in Illustrator that can't be done in Inkscape. granted, I'm not completely accustomed to Inkscape because I just started using it, so there's a bit of a learning curve to using this

still, from what I've seen, it's very easy to use once you get the hang of it and it can make doing line art and lettering a thing of beauty

>OpenToonz
I recently got introduced to this and it looks good from what I've seen. will try to talk more about it in the future, but this is basically going to be my go-to for animations after storyboarding in Krita

>>3079714
forgot to mention something here
Krita can apparently import Inkscape files, but I don't think it goes the same for the other way around, so it'd probably go from:
>initial sketch put into Inkscape for inking and letters
>transfer to Krita for colors, shading, etc

and I've heard that Krita's eventually going to have better vectors, but for the time Inkscape is going to be what you want to use

personally, I never really liked GIMP. only time I ever liked using it was because it was easy to organize images with (like PS), but Krita basically has the same thing

>>3078941
Just feel your forms anon and let it flow through your veins. The pumpkin in a tree does fall without feeling its forms first.

Do you honestly think a board full of losers and trolls are going to give you the answer?

maybe your heart's truly not in it and you're better off doing something else with your time, maybe you need to power through this to know what it's like to overcome serious obstacles and truly grow as a person and artist

The shit people present on YouTube videos and blogposts isn't true. Art is difficult, the art world/community is full of frustration, setbacks and impossible expectations. Lots of us are frustrated at times, but,when you're in the grind you tend to forget the irritation you feel working on your weaknesses and only remember the satisfaction as you reach new milestones.

I can literally get angry when I'm working because I never stop going for the longshots, doing exactly what I'm weak as shit at. the difference is that I have lived long enough to know that that zone is the growing zone, so I stay there and don't shy away from it. Wasn't always like that. I actually quit art for years due to burnout at one point. It happens to the best of us. i came back to it stronger when I had more life experience and priorities in check

What concerns me is that you judge your art efforts only in the connection with other people and their opinions, how they'll perceive your art and your capacity. Let me tell you all that's worth absolutely nothing in the long run. One day you'll be an old fart. When you look back on your life, what do you want to have accomplished? do you really want to obsess over the whims of insignificant assholes who mostly just care about what they're told to care about?

The thing that motivates artists through all that frustration is that at the end of the day, it's not about being perceived as a master, or getting some fancy job. They just want to fucking draw.

cheesy as it sounds, fuck all that other noise and follow your own voice, know that you'll look back one day and be able to say at least I did my thing, not someone else's.

Your choice. What would a humane daily drawing habit look like for you?

I've yet to figure out the right mixture of enjoyment and "just do it" too. Sometimes I stop for months because I got too much down a hole of misery and being overly worried.

>>3078439

>>3078439
too many and without any foundations before stylization?

>>3078445
that's a long time to work on one piece.

>>3077506

>Is it delusional to work hard to get good at drawing so I can one day have a patreon that pays me enough for this to be worth it?

Yes.

>I really need the money.

1. Grow up.
2. Get a job

>>3077509
good advice anon.

>>3077506
You can make a living with drawing and painting. If you need money now then you need a day job. I wouldnt give up though. You can make it. you might suck for ever and die poor and sad, but hell dont know till you try.

I'm curious too.
Been thinking about getting some stuff for linocut printmaking since that seems to be the cheapest and easiest option for a beginner.
Anyone have some experience with this?

Linocuts can be done without an expensive press, a spoon will be just fine.
