he seems like a chill person in private. I like his story telling. The quality of his artwork varies a lot tho

I've got an intuos4 medium that I've been using for almost 7 years now, and really like it. This year I started to get some small connection problems with the wire, but it actually has two ports so I just switched to the other one and it works fine now. Never tried the huion so can't say anything on it. Just wanted to chime in that even if wacom is more expensive they have a reputation to last a long time, I have known other artists who used their tablets for like 10 years without problems.

>>2713752
Always go wacom. Always.

>>2713763
Wacom, pls

Ballpoint pens are super popular for sketching so I'm not sure how it classifies as underrated.

The main disadvantage I guess is that they are not archival from what I hear.

>not using a $1200 fountain pen

>>2713298
get yourself some PITT brush tips. That is the ultimate in stroke control. Faber Castell sells disposable pretty cheap online. Or I have to agree with ^ this guy. Fountain pen for the win :D

nope, just get the job done and move forward

>>2714192
Isn't pen tool way slower than drawing by hand? Who cares if your lines aren't perfectly clean anyway while you try to get better at it?

>>2714192
No rules just tools.

I know, it's not a lot and I'm still a beginner. I've seen a lot better ones, especially pic related, but I don't even dream of this kind of improvement. Right now I just would like some pointers on speeding up a bit.

>>2699502
That improvement was actually a fake, anon

Smaller, more niche Facebook groups. Basically anywhere where peoples real identity are attached to their posts.

>inb4 brutally honest anonymous critique
Face it - anonymous posting is why /ic/ sucks. Anonyminity has less pro's than con's when it comes to critique. People should be accountable for their remarks, and - believe it or not - you can actually be brutally honest without being a dick

>>2710553
the safety people get from anonymity is what let me git gud, anon. i was bad for so many years and had no idea. ic tore open my asshole but it made me see the light. i'm truly thankful for it.

>>2710564
Same here! I didn't realize how many things were wrong with my drawings because no one pointed these things out. It was just asspats all around. This was around 2006, and the asspat culture has only gotten worse. The toxic nature of /ic/ is why I'm here in the first place. "What the fuck is wrong with those legs?" is a hundred times more useful than "Love the way you colored this!"

Gouche and/or watercolour are the most easily portable. Acrylics or oils can be made to be portable but will require more thought and effort to make them compact and easy to bring out.

>>2713502
You can improvise a watercolor tin that's as small as you want, + a waterbrush or pocket brush and small water container. With other paints you're limited to carrying tubes. Dried gouache can still be rewetted but won't really have the same consistency.

>go to art supply shop
>water brush costs the same as airbrush
what a world we live in

/gd/ knows more about fonts

Do you sit there and just quickly feel how the forms would look after you designate the position of the limbs, or do you break it down into a box and think about how that box looks in accordance with the eye level, what direction it recedes to, etc.

>>2713426
>>2713423
Is perspective applied to the human figure a waste of time aside from deciding the basic orientation to the eye level?

I'm shit at perspective so take this with a grain of salt, but it mostly depends on your goal for the drawing.

If you're doing some some odd angle where the perspective of the individual is important to the composition - say, giantess porn where they're about to step on you or someone reaching towards the viewer or some shit - you'll probably want to take more care with perspective on a limb by limb basis. If you're doing a relatively static pose you can probably just do a general one for the body.

>>2712656
You could do 30 minutes a day and it'll still be enough to eventually become a professional.

Impossible to calculate and doesn't matter either.

Like 5 hours a week or something.

>>2712658
OP here

You're absolutely right, but it would take forever.

I need to be a pro in 2-3 years.
Does anybody know if that'll do the job?

>>2712662
If a school can pump out pros in a certain amount of years then an individual can do the same.

yah i heard its alright
