it's wrong to draw your own style, fucking cops will come and rape you for doing it.

I hate mine, it's the worst shit ever. Glad you like yours.

Yeah no, I think it happens a lot. Well, I think a style does come from a mix of what we "naturally" are and a bunch of stuff we think is so cool that we reproduce it, aware of it or not. So if you draw according to what you think looks good, then it's only natural that you'll like your style. I can't say I "love" mine but I certainly really like it when it's a good day and drawing turns out great, when that happens I can really see my style and appreciate it. I'm a sucker for organic lines, solid shapes, dynamic action, etcetera, so when I achieve that or when I look at old succesful drawings I can proceed to suck my own cock and say "that's a really cool style, huh?".

Then the next morning my drawings are shit and I wanna end myself. And so, the love-hate cycle starts again, and life goes on.

If someone has higher res version of this painting, I'd very much appreciate it. Google isn't very helpful.

intuos 5 == intuos pro

I have used just intuos 5 on which buttons are hard to press, ask and see about the i4, it might be better in this regard

>>2245412
also, you might want to look here >>2241202

>>2245412
the 5 has better buttons and no bullshit shiny plastic that gets smudgy/sticky without wiping it after every use, still good tho
if you don't plan to use the buttons and glossy plastic isn't a pet peeve of yours, i'd say go with whichever is cheaper that you can get your hands on

A few steps above Mark Crilley
I like that he emphasizes proper pencil control
Good for beginners who know nothing about drawing from reference, I guess.

He just wants to be day9 of drawing. I personally enjoy watching his videos from time to time.

BUSINESSMEN. All of them. Shameless self-promoters.

He's a little too hyper for my tastes but if you are unfamiliar with photoshop or need help working on your process, he can be a helpful guide. You won't learn much beyond beginners draughtsmanship if that's what your goal is when watching his videos and there are better alternatives (Proko, etc. I want to point out that i mean you wont LEARN much, I'm not implying that he is an incompetent artist). I find that his videos aren't very enjoyable to listen to while drawing (assuming you cant see the video and your canvas at the same time). The main thing with Kienan is that pretty much everything he shows you is knowledge that was passed down to him during his time at Riot Games and therefore he goes about everything in a very industrial way, a lotta pipeline processes and a disregard for traditionalist techniques and traditions. He advertises his comic a lot. If that doesn't turn you off, he's a pretty upbeat guy and is entertaining to listen to if you like goofy humor and (which i do). All of his knowledge comes together pretty nicely however and produces a lot of pieces that are pretty pleasant to look at and well-constructed. He is a good concept artist and has a lot of mileage for someone his age. He will usually talk over a speedpainting in the background and point out the decisions and difficulties he had along the way. He is very good at explaining things clearly and doesnt go off on tangents very often while maintaining a friendly and entheusiastic cadence. I like him. Sorry if it got a bit ramble-y near the end here i smoked a whole meme before typing this

Not too unepic.. I would say you're well on your way :P

Consider learning to shade next tho -_-

i'm sorry if you look like this irl. how is it being an purple man?

>>2244907
im purple abadee abadye X[)

heh... no its whats commonly known in the artistic field as "arbitrary stylization" or something -_-

I believe you can find a thread on it in the catalogue O_O

also... do you want to play my psvita? (+.[___].::)

>not cancer

>>2244759
no, that's not normal. please go and see a doctor.

>>2244775
>no, that's not normal. please go and see a doctor.
Oh shit... that's what I was worried about.
I assumed it was just mental stress from drawing too much complicated perspective.

oh god burn it with fire. Not a tattooist but I do respect those who are. I'm not a fan of them myself, though I do like what some people can create. The steps? Draw. being able to draw 1 for 1 is most important, especially if you want to tattoo photo-realism and such. Go to college, get in the business and get good is really all I can say.

>>2243511
don't go to college, you need to use your money on an apprenticeship, and thats really just a way to stay in the shop without being thrown out. Just keep drawing every single day and don't be a flakey asshole

I was an apprentice for about a year and I sucked at it. Yeah my art was up to par but my social skills were too shitty. You have to be confident and be able to sell yourself. Tattooing has a lot to do with reputation and popularity, at least when you are first starting. I knew a lot of skilled artists because they were either assholes or didn't know how to market themselves.

It looks fine but the limbs come off pretty flat looking. What am I looking at exactly? Some kind of bloated pastry?

No tumblr memes please.

I don't think the shape of the character from the drawing here is translated very well to the pixel you've done of her. There's a lot more upper body to the pixel, unless she's got a fucking ginormous rack then it's definitely a little off. You have any other pixel work to share?

You're FUCKED

If you want to emulate what the human eye normally sees, you shouldn't have your vanishing points on the page.

>>2239509

I've seen drawings that go slightly beyond the vanishing points, though.

I'ts clear you're the guy who did that skeleton with ramen, eficient forms and quality line art, going good, you should try dynamic poses and foreshortening

I like to listen to non-vocal OSTs that don't distract me, but just play in the background.

Yeah, wtf was that?! How can you concentrate with this noise? lol

Anyway I wasn't talking about music as that is pretty straightforward and almost everybody enjoy listening to specific styles while working. The idea is to discover new things to listen apart from music. hehe
