I don't get these "post something you did in the last 5 minutes" type of threads. if it's good post it in the draw thread, if it's bad take it to /beg/

since it's only starting, you should take a break for a few days. I started feeling symptoms of tendonitis a while back, didn't draw for 4 days, and it went away. I downloaded this thing called Time Out, which reminds me to stop what i'm doing every 15 minutes for 30 seconds, and to take a 30 minute break every 1 hour.

Cock up splints at night while asleep. Get the metal ones, they last longer.
Wrist stretches every hour or so while drawing. Every 2 to 3 when not drawing.

Start doing wrist curls and pronations with light dumbbells 3lb max.

Stop drawing for a few days to help encourage healing.

No clue, reverse image search didn't pull up shit. But something seems really off about these.

thanks niggero-kun

Also, when I say "Shit like what TG Weaver does", I don't mean his art is shit. I think his stuff is fucking fantastic. I'm just using the word "shit" like stuff. Not like garbage.

>tries to bump his own shitty bait multiple times
>nobody bites

if you're gonna bait people can you at least try?

pretty meh in general

I don't really like how he draws his characters but I like how energetic his stuff can be. It especially shines through in the animations he has made.

>>2776323
What is this from? Is it on his deviant art?

I pretend I'm a girl all the time, but not really for anything art related

don't do the tumblr-fame thing myself but there is absolutely NO WAY IN HELL pretending to be a girl doesn't improve exposure and patreon bucks by atleast 33%. By the time you are famous and autists obsess over you and find out you're a fraud, you'll be sitting comfortably at 4k/month on patreon and won't give a fuck anymore.

if you do hentai or furries this is absolutely the way to go.

It'd be really difficult to work out whether women actually do make more as artists than men. You couldn't really do any kind of accurate statistical analysis because there aren't really that many great female artists compared to male artists... but I've always gotten the general sense that women get more attention online in a general sense, especially in social media, which would presumably translate to more tumblr/patreon followers or whatever for their art.

If I were to start doing porn for money... yeah, I'd probably assume a female persona, or at least keep my sex secret and let people assume whatever they want.

I do this or overhand with pencils and brushes. Saves my wrist.

>>2776163
Is it ok to trail the paper with your hand to give it support while you draw or should this be avoided?

>>2776153
Can we discuss this?
That kind of grip is only appropriate if you're drawing on a large canvas propped on an easel. If you're drawing on paper laid down on a plane it's really uncomfortable.

The rule to save your wrist is to keep it as straight as possible AFAIK

what the actual fuck?

you don't need to make a fucking thread about it m8

>he fell for the books meme

>>2775225
Its actually the opposite. I was complete shit before I started taking tips from books. Now I am still shit but lesser than before. "Just drawing" is worthless if your technique is worthless.

10/10 very orinignial
good work OP +1

No thanks.

The Noodler's "flex" nibs are pretty shitty desu, and all the alternatives at that price point are equally janky. If line variation is important to you (I personally don't think it is) you'd be much better off with a dip nib, or at least saving up for a Falcon down the line.

For a lower priced starter pen I would look at something like a Faber-Castell Loom or a Lamy instead. If you want a gold nib for the lowest possible price there's the Platinum KDP-3000 desk pen. It's just about the finest nib you could possibly get short of a custom grind, if that's your thing.

At $100 you could get a really nice pen if you don't mind importing. Amazon.jp ships a lot of Sailor pens overseas, or you could get something like a Pilot CH91 or Custom 74 from j-subculture / rakuten.

With that said, price isn't really indicative of quality, it's about finding a combination of a reliable pen body and a nib that you like. I have a $130 Pro Gear that has the absolute nicest nib I've ever tried, and a $130 Faber-Castell Ondoro that dries out if left alone for a few days and has the same JoWo nib as the much lower-priced Loom. Lesson learned, I guess. There are turds in every price range.
