When I was 17, my parents sent me off to a wilderness program for a couple months. Doodling was basically the only thing there that kept me from being bored to death. I plowed through like 20 notebooks. I still keep the notebooks with me, so I figure I'll share some of the shitty sketches I did.

Do you guys have shitty handwriting or nice handwriting? I've always wondered if good artist coincides with good handwriting.

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [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?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
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.

I've been using my small Intuos for years. But despite the experience I have with it I still feel like I can draw quicker and better using traditional tools.
Would upgrading to a screen tablet benefit me in any way? Did anyone here ever feel a noticeable shift in "quality" between tools?

Also, there's no tablet pen that I can hold like this while drawing, right?
I know there's an "art pen" of some sorts but I don't think it effects tilt/rotation that much. I use this hold quite often for gesture

Faster workflow will definitely be apparent and it will motivate you more to do digital drawings than using tablet.

Seeking artists for Art Collectors card game

Hey guys. I made an indie card game called Art Collectors, and I plan to make an expansion pack to the card game. The game originally has 80 cards, but I wish it had 40~60 additional cards to increase the replay value.
Each card contains 1 artwork by an artist. The artist retains exclusive copyright to the artwork but gives permission for it to be printed as part of the card game.
All participating artists will receive a share of the profits, some more than others depending on how many cards they have contributed. To be honest I have yet to sell a single copy, but it's had good feedback and reviews on Tabletop Simulator and in real life. I plan to continue to promote the card game by going to meetups and eventually creating a kickstarter campaign with help of my friends.
So I would like to ask if anyone here would be interested in participating in creating the expansion pack of 40 ~60 cards. The original game has 80 cards in it. The game can be played as a workshop currently on the Tabletop Simulator.
The artworks can be paintings, drawings, or mixed media of good quality. They must be finished works of art, not merely studies. No photography or digital art.
Please post your art here or e-mail me. Thank you

Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make someone proud.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, there is a question thread for that.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead (I recommend ShareX)
#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
#3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint
→ →
There's a new (and cleaner) sticky in town! You can see it at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwaXKU7ev6Tw_or__o8ARpUb6r2rCZYJGqwSFV9AD98/edit#bookmark=id.15jx3pyuimvj
>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

I've been reading Orhan Pamuk's My Name Is Red and I got into the art of the Islamic miniature.
From what I read Ottoman painters would mix crushed pigments with egg white, which I can't do. What do you think would be a good substitute?
China? Watercolor?

Is there anyone here who is into pale art? Urban or dark atmospheric stuff?

I've never heard about pale art before, but when I do a search it seems to have nothing to do with urban or dark atmospheric stuff. Rather it's pictures of pale white models and winter landscapes in pastel colors
>>
>>2790882
Caliginous Urban Art emerges from the deepest impressions of character; I prefer it because it's whilst it is encroached upon by this circumstance that the Art becomes most necessarily experienced in the constant corrosion all objects travelling through space go through due to factors such as humidity.
Bright colours torch the eyes, but the brightest pale colours only show us the light, and that's what matters. A foggy day will always be brighter than a day in which the sun is cast

Take a ninja and fuse it with something else related to the character.
Maybe your ninja likes beetles; Make beetle-esque armor for them. Maybe he uses spells; Hang scrolls or spell tags on them. Maybe they're part of the wolf clan; Put tasteful tufts of fur on them.
Do some research find some resources and get some thumbnails done, Anon.

if your sources are the soulless rendering of illustrators that scores top pages then that wont be a very valid argument. why cant retards like you understand that the internet allows greater access to other artists, so as a results more people will be inspired? just because theres an explosion of art doesnt mean people dont try... great artists will be appreciated and shitty artists wont.
