How do you go about coming up with a pseudonym to sell art under?
I don't want to use my real name because I don't want any sort of online presence connected to my actual identity, but I don't really have any frequent usernames or nicknames that are suitable for selling art.
Anyone have any insight to offer?
Update: It's been almost 7 hours and I still can't come up with anything.
Just use a simple name or smash your keyboard.

>Just use a simple name
Yeah, I thought of that, but I was hoping to use the same username across multiple websites (tumblr/deviantart/twitter/whatever), which makes it hard. I'm reluctant to use anything for one that's already taken on another, because I don't want people finding someone else thinking it's me.
>or smash your keyboard.
I'm about to.
Are there any places there artist can like and follow each other to become more popelat and get lots of money?
My wife is an artist, and I want her to earn money with her drawings.
I have created patreon, devianart, tumblr pages, but there is almost no activity!
Is it legal to post links to her art blogs here for example?
Or maybe there are subreddits where I can spam links to make her more popular?
picrelated - her traditional art, my favotite.
>>2751236
Also I have created artstation page.
Any feedback I have got only from devianart, few people added some pics in favorites (about 10 likes), I liked them too. Now I have 3 folowers on devianArt, zero at artstation, zero at tumblr and zero pledgers at patreon.
My next steps?
Hey guys, are even some of you monetizing your art skills? I want to know how.
>>2751363
It's spreading your work actively, being active and responsive to people where you post make friends in the community. Importantly you need to be drawing things that people want to see, and content worth paying for.
Getting a following is what can allow you to eventually monetize your work.

You're in one right now :^)

Friendly folks if that's what you're asking. Everyone there has a wide array of doing art so everyone learns together even teachers teach each other here. No egos here or whatever, really nice site, been with them for about 3 months now.

What kind of black magic did they use to make digital drawing feel so fucking perfect?
>use photoshop and krita
>hate digital drawing want to go back to traditional media
>try sketchbook
>never want to go back again
How's it so perfecto for you?
The only thing I get from Sketchbook is that they have a default pencil emulating brush.
>>2750677
Maybe it's the pencil brush you mentioned. But even beyond that everything is so intuitive and perfectly made for drawing purposes. Like I get nothing tops photoshop in painting but holy shit nothing tops sketchbook in drawing.
>>2750680
>nothing tops Photoshop in painting
Just about everything tops Photoshop in painting, dude, it's ass by today's standards. No real blending, no underpainting options, terrible emulation of traditional, list goes on.
It's good for photo editing. So I end up shoving images in there to resize them anyway. Point is it became an industry standard in a time where there was no real competition and otherwise serves as a comfortable jack of all trades program.
I'm struggling to figure out how to get this textured look in clip studio paint. Can someone please help?
I've got the brush down I'm just not sure how to get this textured look.
For the contours you'll probably have to make a custom brush. For the rendering you'll probably have to use a texture overlay using a layer mask or some sh*t.
OP if I could piggy back for a second, how does one make a textured brush in CSP anyway?
>>2750479
I'm stuck anon. I'm not getting anywhere.
>>2751400
I went and edited another one of the brushes to get the brush I'm working with right now.

You can duplicate brushes and mess around with the duplicate by right clicking on whatever brush you want to tinker with and selecting "duplicate sub tool"
Which do you prefer for artists ?
>>2749882
Hellsite vs Cringe Community
DramaQueens vs Shit Art Taste People
Your tell me, bro.
>>2749882
Artstation
>>2749913
>Tumblr
Post your art, not your opinions
>Deviantart
Don't post cringe. If you do, make sure it's popular.
>>2749882
Tumblr is shit for navigating, I never understood why it became so popular to post art on that website. Deviantart was made for posting art, and is a better site for it. Unfortunately if I had to pick one I'd go with tumblr just because it's easier to have your work noticed by others because of its tag system.
At the end of the day, you should post on both.
I want to draw Jojo style!
i <- are you an artist?
want <- thats nice
to <- enlgish speaker clause
draw <- go do that
jojo <- watch the anime perhaps?
style <- what do you mean by this? just draw jojo in your own style
>>2749134
Araki just went on that route because he started getting obsessed with fashion art. Before that he was just a shitty rip off from Kenshiro school of manga.

or what program is that?
I'm about to enter the US army in 2 weeks. I have a question after I complete basic training will I still be able to practice drawing? Will I even be allowed too?
>>2751020
You'll be allowed to get stuff like lined notebooks and pens and stuff like that from the basic PX that they take you to once a week.
You can do basically whatever the fuck you like in the barracks during your hour of downtime, but if the Drill Sergeants see you drawing, they're gonna harass the fuck out of you and probably make an embarrassing example out of you because that's their job. I got stuck with the job of repainting the barracks hallway mural because one drill sgt saw my doodles on my notes when we were learning CLS.
If you're halfway decent at drawing, expect to be bombarded by requests for tattoo concepts by your fellow privates.
I'd imagine AIT is a bit more relaxed but I only went through OSUT because I wasn't a cherry pog fuck.
Good luck anon, welcome to the suck. What MOS you going for anyway?
>>2751035
I'm joining the as infantry in The army nothing special. I have a bad feeling people will request I draw for them or the drill Sargent will mock me Thank god I didn't choose the Marines they would roast my ass
>>2751035
Just make some honeypot patriotic doodles and It'll be alright

How much does someone get for that amount of concept art? I recall that I have seen even more pieces from him on this game but they arent there. Anyway, assuming this is it, how much do you think it's worth?
>>2750259
They don't pay for the piece, they pay for his time. He's obviously done a ton of other drafts before it. At least fifty. And then if you want to know the price on his time, that all depends on how good he is and how valuable of an asset he is. Frankly, you could never guess the right amount because you could get paid low just because it was your first job or something.
>>2750259
Maybe I'll tell you this way: Scott Robertson can leave his computer overnight and come back to like 6 or so unique designs on 3D character and then just choose one or quickly paint over it.
He actually "cheats" a lot. For a design that is largely unchanging - sport shoes - he even hired a programmer and made an app that shits design after design, he could make like 100 in a day, or completely viable.
Check out his video on creativity, actually with simple stuff and fuckton of custom brushes he can make concepts really quick, some don't even require paint over.
And now hard truth: even though he lives nicely and AFAIK has his own studio, hires people, publishes his books etc. he doesn't seem to be millionaire. He still advertises his gumroad, does YouTube and lately sells on eBay his old sketches/throwaway art for anything from $10-$90.
So yeah, mom was right when she said to you to study hard to become an engineer.
>>2750269
>doesn't mention the part where he had to study hard to even do any of that or even have any of that
>also
>wanting to be a nameless engineer while Scott Robertson is famous
How do you get better at bargue drawing /ic/ bros? I still cant do it quite right, I just want to move on and not to be stuck in this shit
>>2749921
People these days just copy them with literally a mechanical process of measuring angles and distances. It shouldn't be difficult, though it might take a long time and be a bit tedious.
>>2749924
im focusing on training my eyes in order to improve to the point i dont have to rely on any tools. I do everything in sight size now so I can do easy comparisons but I still havent achieved anything that would allow me to get past this whole thing.
Realize that it's a slow and deliberate process. It it not at all uncommon for a Bargue plate to take 15 to 20 hours if you're a beginner. Always be taking horizontals and verticals to get everything lined up.
