I could use some help with this. The composition doesnt make sense with the one wyvern not looking at the guy, so i want to put another one on the far right foreground so its like the wyvern is protecting its prey. Whenever i try it just looks wonky.
>>
>>2706548
Also how do I isolate one area to change the value of in PS? like if i wanted to tone down the frontmost wyvern how would i do that without just painting over it?
>>

Either make a selection or a mask, and then use a levels adjustment layer

I didn't see any thread like this, so I thought to open one.
What music do you listen to while drawing, is it for work, exercise or just for fun? Does music influence what you are working on?

Boards Of Canada makes god drawing music imo. Anything ambiental and unobtrusive is my go to drawing music. I try to listen to music that matches the mood of what I have in mind.

I mostly listen to ambient too, but the choice of the right music is very important.
when I work on a larger project, that spans over days, weeks or even months, I like to listen to some upbeat, ready for action music like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDt9Y-ZOclY
or this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTiOhl6gRtg
it's great when you sit down yet again and you feel like the project is going somewhere.
when I do smut commission work, I listen to japanese electronic music.
and generally I try to find fitting music for the art's subject. it helps me get into the right mood.
generally don't listen to any music while animating, it'll mess up the timing.

What do you consider as bad anatomy and what do you consider as an anatomy in different style than realistic? Here's an example: Badly drawn anatomy or anatomy with own style?

The top shows more of an understanding of anatomy with edges and forms being simplified forms of the real things, the bottom half is just blobs.
There's no clear distinction that it's legs, it might aswell be a man who's legs are sausages.
>>
>>2713036
I heartily agree, I need to work for legs a lot
>>
>>2713035
Bad anatomy stems from lack of knowledge. Anatomy in a different style is the artist intentionally changing it in way that he knows differ from reality, but it's done for aesthetic reasons.
The picture you posted is just poorly drawn.

How do I get the most subscribers on that site?
It seems to me like grills or flamers and autists get the most views by doing anime ripoff bullshit.
If I dip into doing daily coloured sonic, mlp, or anime garbage will I be able to tap into that userbase or is there another trick.
Also tumblr and other promotional site discussion welcome.

Dont do it.
Deviant art is for people who have t grown out of drawing manga. Cant make money off their art and arent even good at drawing manga despite being in their 20s.
Normies and art gallery owners tend to use instagram for their art now.

What is the best website to use if I want to sell prints of my work? I've been getting requests to sell prints recently and want to find a site that puts out great quality at a decent price.
On a related note, I've been considering making myself a shirt for an event I'm attending in November. What is the best site to use if I want to put my art on a shirt? Again, I'm looking for great quality at an affordable price.

Society6? Check it out.

>>2713631
Seems like a cool site. Nice layout and all. Do you know anything about how much they pay the artist compared to other sites? It would be nice to just pick one site and stick with it rather than sign up for and try out a bunch of them to see what I like best. Simply put, does Society6 pay artists decently well compared to other print sites?

I'm a fan of One Unite Power ( a graffitti crew ) but I'm not in the crew. Would it be disrepectful to tag their crew around town?

How do I get to this point as a self-taught artist?
I know a lot of people will just say, "read and draw!", but is there something more?
FZD speaks of formulas. Is math the differentiation between a self-taught artist and a professional?

Has anyone here heard of an artist called DestinyBlue?
I went to New York Comic Con over the weekend and saw she was one of the artists featured in Artist Alley.
Her artwork is very nice, she seems to have a color scheme going on in all her pieces, but he subject matter is pretty generic.
However she had tons of people flocking to her table. How does one get that kind of recognition? What does an artist have to do to stand out and gain a large following? Is it consitantly posting on social media? Do you need to have a certain style that grabs peoples attention?
What does it take to stand out among millions of other artists?

Post your current drawing here and give constructive critique to others!
Please make sure your posted image is clear, DOWNSIZED TO AROUND 1000 PIXELS WIDE, ROTATED TO THE CORRECT ORIENTATION, and that any unused space is cropped.
If you want critique on a drawing from the previous thread, you can delete it there and repost in this one and then hug a kitten for good luck.
