Just use page up and page down instead.

Will use your thread to ask a SAI related question

Why the fuck am I getting faded out colors? layer opacity is all up to 100% yet every color I pick is much lighter than it's supposed to be. Am I supposed to look somewhere in brush settings or something?

>>2792904
same shit with page up and down

>>2794706

Opps, sorry that should be

>Also with pencils do you put the lightest color down first or the darkest?

>>2794706
They're good for colouring, but it depends on your personal style/preferences. I can't really compare to pastels or paint since my preference is different than yours. Learn as much as you can about as many different mediums and decide what fits you best.

How you use your tools is much more important than the tools themselves. Like, just because X artist uses oil paints doesn't mean you'll get the same results by using the same exact brushes, turpentine, canvas, and paints as that artist.

I go light to dark since it's easier to add more colour than subtract.

3-5 pencils/colours. Again, it depends. My pencils are the cheapest prismacolour brand ones and they work well enough for my use. Some stores sell individual pencils for cheap instead of those big, expensive multi-packs, so maybe try a couple from different manufacturers or whatever.

Some generous dude uploaded these CtrlPaint video tutorials:

are these threads reportable yet?

>>2794851
I'm not sure, but if we find the original artist we can get him to sue OP for infringing on his intellectual property.

>>2794851
Of course they are.

Well since you're saying that you have the energy for, I'd recommand you to work with several "beginners" book. One approach just won't do it.

Also do you have more pictures of your work ?

Looking for validation, drawing too small, expecting results in a day, making your own thread.

Where did you find this image? Facebook? A paranormal related page in fb?

I'm the guy asking how to summon a succubus if that's the case.

>>2794677
Facebook. Also, succubus aren't real.

>>2794679
Yes they are

I'm gonna need a link if that sexy trap is in the game. I need the link for yknow research and stuff...

He has skills but I wish his pixel art was a little less sloppy. He either needs to hire a competent pixel artist or step up his game, no pun intended. Looks as if he could get a nice pc-88 ish aesthetic if he worked on it some more

You need to start with knowing how to write for one. Then you set up an outline. It's not as difficult as it looks, it's literally a book with pictures. Even the program can be easily made with RenPy

why honestly do you care?

No need to be upset, im just very interested about that - i noticed the majority of artists draw only anime females.
Also the lack of comic/cartoon stylization (your whole stylization thread is basically "anime drawing thread")

eh, the difference between anime and popular western CalArts / Disney esque stylization is incredibly subtle these days, so if your animu girl drawings show strong fundamentals and skill, there's no reason why you wouldn't be hired by western studios that are in need of those skills.

Pic related works for Marvel as story board artist for major movies such as GotG2 and her entire gallery is full of animu-Disney hybrid girl drawings.

>even after doing a few dozen I don't feel as if I've learned anything.

Wow. Ngm with that attitude. What, did you just start drawing yesterday? Suck it up.

Check out vilppu if you need help understand what you should be doing with figure drawing exercises, you can probably find his drawing manual in a book thread somewhere and you can find some videos of his classes elsewhere.
Also the sticky and loomis (figure drawing for all its worth).

So you know all the bones, visible muscles and their insertions and the planes they all make and can recreate it from memory at any angle?

Post your work.

if you can't see beauty in the human form you have no chances to be an artist

I trained at a fart academy .

>>2794065
you just followed TOOTorials amirite?

>>2793765

Currently a student at an academy that's sponsored by the Art Renewal Center. There are a few of us on /ic/ it seems.

In general there are little to no entrance exams required across these academies. You can pay for either full-time or part-time and from what I've seen they offer all of their courses to both times. The fees are not that bad - ballpark is about $200-$400/mo.

Some academies offer specific things - Angel Academy does a full program on portraiture, Grand Central Atelier follows the Hudson River School landscape painting, et cetera.

The tough part is staying in once you get in because the curriculum is difficult and the demand for you to do as perfect of a job as you can are set from the get-go.

Instructors are very kind and knowledgeable, but it doesn't mean they aren't strict and they will absolutely not let you get away with half-assed work.

If you are the kind of person that can sit down and work on one drawing for 100 hours, or one painting for several months, then you should be fine. The timeline is not an exaggeration.

Yah, hate when that happend. Just waste it man, treat it like any other notebook, who cares

man, you can buy like yellowpages thick sketchbook with moleskin prices.

Keep it for when you have an actual project you want to do.

>>2794669
I need to watch some of these being made

If you need to fucking ask someone advice about drawing outside you already have a form of social anxiety disorder. We are not your psychiatrist. Seek help.

drawing in public is a meme. trying to draw people in the 2.5 seconds it takes for them to walk past you doesn't actually teach you anything. But hipster artist wanna-bes really want an excuse to pull out their moleskin (another meme) and sit in a Starbucks sipping expresso and showing everyone how artsy and sophisticated they are.

Yes, in a split primaries palette it's normal to mix warm and cool colors together when you need a duller mix or a shade that leans in any particular way. You can also dull it towards gray or black by adding a complementary color to your mix.
In your specific example, Alizarin Crimson and Phthalo Blue would make a dull purple, since even though the phthalo is a high chroma color it is farther away from violet in the color wheel than a warm-leaning blue like Ultramarine would be.
You should keep in mind not just the hue but the saturation and value of the colors you're mixing as well, since when you need to lighten or darken a color you'll always be tilting it either cooler or warmer, and usually dulling it in the process.

>>2792161
another anon here, with no proper teaching in painting so I don't know, neighter do I have the tools to try it out myself

but what if you mix 2 cool colors? but 2 warm colors?

so if you mix a cool color with a warm color you get another more muddy grey color? if so, that explains why my paintings where so bad when I was a kid, contrary to my drawings which were the best

and if all that is right I might give another go at painting

Remember that warm and cool are relative terms.
Reusing OP's alizarin crimson+phthalo blue example, a cool-leaning red and warm-leaning blue would mix a cleaner violet than this cool red/cool blue or a warm red/warm blue would. Because they are both closer colors to violet to begin with.

It's helpful if you visualize a subtractive color wheel, or even paint a small one yourself when you're unsure of how to get the color you want. The edges of the wheel are your pure, full chroma colors, and as you move to the center they grey out and eventually meet at a neutral black. It's why you get black by mixing your three primaries or two complementary colors together.
Take that wheel and draw a line between the two colors you're mixing together - the closer that line is to the center of the wheel, the duller that mix will be. Of course that's also relative and will vary depending on the saturation of the colors you're mixing together and their proportion in the mix.

It can sound difficult to think about, but it helps if you take a more methodical approach to color mixing. You'll never get a more saturated color in a mix than the ones you're starting with, so for the cleanest possible result you want to get where you need to be with the least amount of colors and the least amount of steps possible.
Lay down the color in you palette that's closest to the one you're trying to achieve, and then think about it - does it need to be warmer or cooler? Lighter or darker? Then you add the color that will get you closest to that, and so on. You're constantly having to tilt colors one way or another, since your colors have not just a hue but a value associated to them that you need to keep in mind. A blue will cool a red but also push it down in value towards purple, while a white will cool that red but push it up in value towards pink.

Buckle down and suck it up.

Get medication..?

You need to get your life together (i.e. see a professional after you settle down) before you do something as trivial (relative) as art.
