Are you a working professional? If not, just get one of the cheaper tablets that don't have a screen. Ones like that aren't necessary outside of top end usage.

Ive heard from professionals that cintiqs aren't that great. Just get intuos or other huion, i don't trust these cheap lcd tablets

>>2957129
I have a cintiq, and I think it's amazing, granted I haven't tried other tablets, but cintiq has met all my needs to a T.

Yeah 3-10 hours a week spent on NOT drawing sounds like a great way to get better at drawing. You fucking retard.

probably, i've been pretty fit and pretty unhealthy in my life and the difference between the two in terms of mental faculties is a lot more than one would think. i don't think you need to be like super fit or anything but an hour a day at the gym really made a difference for me (mainly on that weird arm swingy leg swingy machine, i only did like weights and stuff 3 times a week)

>>2951660
It does actually. Physical health and fitness improves your performance at pretty much any task that requires concentration. Not to mention it increases your testosterone levels, which leads to a general increase in motivation and productivity.

Don't watch YouTube and Netflix. Problem solved. Cut hours of sleep too.

>>2958710
I draw while videos play as background noise, you can too

>>2958716

I already feel like a zombie most of the day with just 6 hours, I watch TV because I am to tired for even videogame shit, much less drawing. In fact, I am at my job but I have an external USB with a portable web browser.

It'd be better if it was bigger and there was a zoom in/out function. An eraser would be nice too.

Though, I thought someone already made a site similar.

Is it for mouse users? I'm using my tablet and it just starts drawing? And you need an eraser

>>2952783
Thanks for the suggestions anon. I plan to add proper zooming and custom image sizes soon. Also going to try and get it working nicely on touch devices.

You can use your browser zoom feature to increase the size btw

Holy shit, Illastrat is still out and about? Nobody bump this shit.

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.

How many hours a day do you draw?

You can upload your work on Behance and choose the rights to it. Also Behance is dope as hell

>>2956884
>choose the rights to it
>"""artists""" on the internet literally have no idea how copyright works

>>2956884
You don't trademark designs. Trademarks are for things like company names, and brands, like Coke™.

You copyright designs. You create a copyright the moment you create something. As long as it doesn't contain elements of other copyrights, you can sue for copyright infringement.
When you're established, you can officially copyright things in the copyright office, and that will absolutely help make a case. But, simply putting "©2017 your name" is enough to claim it, and if you publish it online or elsewhere, you can use that to prove your ideas came first, or that someone copied you.

Big studios are very careful about issues like this, it's the smaller companies that are more likely to infringe on your ideas. Every piece in your portfolio, that doesn't use someone else's ideas, should include your copyright.

Behance is one way to display your work. You can also embed your copyright in the metadata of the files, which I do automatically. I also have my work published in a portfolio site with the year of creation/copyright clearly labeled.

I would highly suggest that everyone who reads this gets the Graphic Artist's Guild's book. It's also for fine artists and any creative professional. The cost of the book includes membership in the guild, with legal and copyright information. You need to understand how copyright works, it's extremely important.

To answer your question, if you can prove they copied your work, you can sue them. That's why you document everything, when you step out into the professional world.

assuming you are otherwise healthy...
get enough sleep, get exercise, eat 6 small meals a day. avoid caffeine.

>avoid caffeine
but how will I live

Go to a chiropractor. Seriously bro bad posture can cause brain fog because spinal chords are literally pulling on the brain.

Well, that's disappointing, I have 2 on order. after they were shipped I found them cheaper elsewhere, and now they apparently arn't very good to boot.

I will say that they're KIND OF useful for shots which are hard to do in front of a mirror e.g. over the shoulder camera shots, but I own a camera so that doesn't help me much...

Actually yeah.

I bought a Figma She and, while it has helped me with foreshortening, her stomach doesn't crunch in, which leaves me SOL for a lot of poses. I still kind of want the He because the She does have its uses.

I can't really pose myself in front of a mirror and fold my gut in either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a couple points:

1.) That image you posted in your example is fucking shitty. I don't understand why people keep posting that shit. The proportions are horrendous and it's overall shape design and gesture is horrific
2.) Speaking of proportions, it's literally the most important concept in art. It's not anatomy and it's not values, it's being able to draw what you fucking see.
3.) Fundamentals aren't in a vacuum. In order to be good at gesture drawing you need to be good at anatomy/form and proportion. Gesture drawing when it comes to humans is being able to simplify the body with as few lines as possible. You CAN'T SIMPLIFY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. That's why your gesture sucks.

5.) Speaking of sucky gestures, how about you get better inspiration? I attached some images. Michael hampton is probably the best book for figure drawing in general.

>>2941693
Thank you.
I've been reading FORCE by mike matessi for human anatomy to better understand the human body but its still difficult for me to formulate full human bodies that look interesting, which is why I think gesture is my issue. hampton has a lot of reading and technical stuff but I've heard now 4 people say its the best, so I guess I'll have to start it sooner or later

>>2941706
force is a very good book, good choice

>>2958675
Not really. There's several reasons why using the Big Sticky that gets passed around is sorta a bad idea

>stickies need to be digestible. If this were the new sticky it'd be the longest on the site by a country mile. You can only justify telling someone to "read the sticky" when it's not a book unto itself. The sticky needs to be primer for the board, the basics, and the common sense. Everything else that can be learned from /ic/ and its community should be done by lurking moar. A sticky that replaces the need to lurk moar is poor idea, it removes the need for /ic/ as a reference itself. If people find the doc by lurking moar already then it's already doing its job.

>This goes way outside the scope of an /ic/ sticky. It's also incomplete. There are a lot of things talked about that don't need to be required reading. How to get popular on certain websites, good youtube channels, etc. That's not really the place of 4chan moderation to officially endorse or sanction as a sticky.

>The Big Sticky is a working document that's still incomplete in places. if it's stickied as is then it's either subject to change (which isn't good for a static sticky) or it'll remain as a static version (which isn't good for a WIP). All this is to say that if people stopped deluding themselves into thinking this will replace the sticky they could expand its scope more and improve it even moreso. Not as something that newbies need to read but something that's handy for any /ic/ member.

The current sticky needs an overhaul but this "bigger is better" approach is not the way to do it.

>>2958701
That is why I suggested not to get rid of old sticky, but add link to bigger one in old sticky post.

>>2958701
But you are probably right, after all.

if its not pc cuntfagotry then its airspay technique mixed whit pencil pastels or some shit
