Looks cool but a bit complicated to look at. I had to stop and think for a bit to know what I was looking at

If anything, the brush that you used for the shining in the eye thing feels out of place with the shading in the piece.
Really cool, anyway.

Atheists found it and the site went downhill from there, as usual everything they touch turns to shit

There's been several dramas that caused huge portions of the site to leave in protest. Things like some sketchy stuff around their online school and how they promoted it/what they were actually offering, personal fights with Jason Manley (one of the creators/owners of the site), artists who made video tutorials for Massive Black not getting paid for it and some of them individually being owed literally tens of thousands, constant begging for money to run the servers which went beyond what other people felt it should have and later some shady stuff about that money going to Manley's brother etc. Many of the dramas that happened had were made worse by mods aggressively deleting any threads trying to discuss it or have open information on things and strict censorship. A lot of blame fell onto Manley at various points, it seems he has a knack for burning bridges, though a lot of things ended up in lawsuits and as far as I know the final outcomes of who was telling the truth in he-said-she-said situations hasn't really come to light. In my opinion Manley took total blame for a few things he probably was only partially responsible for, and there definitely were some people making things up to slander him including a super fake chat conversation with some stripper or something.

Other than all that drama, there's some more contributing factors that affected the site such changes in the code and servers which broke the site by slowing it down a lot and losing all of the old images before a certain date including some very classic threads and sketchbooks as well as ruining all pages with any posts by dile, and he had like 6k posts on the site. After all this most of the pros left, and without pros in the community it really went to shit. All this happened too as other social media platforms overtook forums making them a bit obsolete, and also digital art in general shifted from niche to mainstream making the sheer volume not suitable for a community like that.

Why not just get good enough that your pieces will be the good ones on artstation? Make your dream a reality.

I can't draw. I can't even start drawing.

I bought the 12x18 version of that pad of paper. I think it was kind of expensive. And really small. I hate small paper. I was gonna do some chalk pastels. The combination of smooth surface and the color made it really hard to build up my light values. I think I'm gonna have to use fixative to build up more layers.

What are you going to do with it? Mid-tone paper is a lot easier to work with, imo.

>>2899368

Yes, use Copic Markers for gestures and Fineliners form contour, shadows and texture. Use a white gel pen, acrylic or gouche for highlights.

>>2899126

spend half as much time drawing as you do posting retarded shit and you will be alright

>>2899126
nobody ever follows or goes through with regimens that are set (including things like aguris) because there's no discipline and environment that a classroom or school can give

that being said - i hope you're the outlier

>>2899126
Wtf man you made a schedule for 2 years? Thats just stupid, especially given that you have no clue how fast will you learn

>So what is stopping you?

>>2899118
Nothing. I'm still grinding every day, and have no intention of stopping.

>>2899105
But how do you exactly get motivated?

>>2899031
I don't get special handicap funds that I can use for my art.

>>2899032
not gonna make it

feet are scientifically proven to be better for drawing

Why did you draw it in a T pose if it's 2D? And rather than asking other anons to solve your problem for you, try doing it yourself. Figure out who your character is and what their personality is, and then do some thinking and research into how you can make their clothing represent this.

>>2898945
Keep your art in /beg/.
If you make a thread, people will draw porn of your character and subject it to /ic/ drawing memes.
I don't think you want that, do you?

>>2898973
but that's exactly what i want
>>2898948
as i said reference for 3d game model
i think the design gives off a bright animated feeling which is what i was going for, but in wanted ic's take on it as well since you guys are top tier master artists

Yes.

i would fucking kill to watch ruan jia livestreams.....shits impossible to find....few clips on utube

If you want quality it will cost at least a couple hundred per card, unless you get lucky and find someone super desperate, or maybe find someone who gives a deal if they are given a bulk order of images to do. MtG pays their artists around 1k per image, so you will struggle to find someone of that calibre working for under 500 or 600 per image. If it's just simple images and you are okay with quality a bit lower you can maybe find someone in the 150 to 400 range.

Okay, I just saw a shadman. end of the thread.

>>2898606
Because it's a god damn lie that beginners echo. You can draw whatever the fuck you want it just might not look as good as you want it to be.

>>2898606
You shouldn't try to learn to draw new things without looking at the object, that is absurd. But don't just copy a thing, analyze it, deconstruct it, find its shapes, and even its function if applicable.

>>2898606
I have no idea what you are even saying. Draw from both imagination and reference. They're not mutually exclusive.

>>2898531
Don't they just use Flash which is vector?

When I zoom in I can see that the brush they use is square. A pixel brush maybe?
I tried using Krita to get the same line quality and got close but the lines come out wiggly.

>>2898531
They ink their keyframes with vectored lines in Flash. So those figures you see are actually a bunch of points being told how to behave, not hand-drawn lines.
