Seriously though, what happened to him?
>>2659195
He logged in not too long ago. Probably just decided to go off shore with his studies.
>>2659196
He kinda nuked his existence from the internet.
Tumblr, dA, all gone.
Some fag said it was suicide. Dunno if real
Same shit with Nile too
>>2659200
Nile is alive because he is in IRC.
>be a painter

Your rights end where my feelings begin.
>>2645887
loli is the most uninteresting subject
As long as the law of your country says so.
Does anyone have pics of poses similar to this? I can't seem to get it down...

Nigga you need some serious loomis. Go to the beginner thread. Her head is an egg and her thumb is on the wrong side...jesus

A while ago i drew a picture of opal from steven universe and i used a different fanart picture as a reference i need some help finding the original

>Steven Universe
I think you need some help finding the exit
>>2660784
This isn't a safe space. If you get triggered, then leave.
>>2660756
Negro there are a vagillion fan art pics about any subject. If you don't have another pic that we can recognize, that shit is lost forever.

Fucking kill me already. My future really depends on this but i have this autistic life where i can draw and imagine stuff only when im busy with other job.
How other people deal with this?
PS:
Also horrible thing - all those "awesome ideas" kinda become boring and uninteresting after some time and i dont want to draw them anymore.
>>2658388
Write them down or do a quick sketch when youre busy then finish them on your free time retard
.???
>>2658398
>Write them down or do a quick sketch when youre busy then finish them on your free time retard
i do that sometimes and they save me from not drawing anything. But i run out of them anyways.
PS:
3 months ago i had this amazing idea of 2 sets of characters lineups.
In theory this will be SO HELPFUL for my leveling up because each lineup has 6 characters
- it will really help me to learn new stuff because of variety of characters
- not to mention the popularity - new watchers and favs that will dick around those tasty lineups
but meh...so boring. Dont wanna. too much stuff that im not interesting in anymore
>Fucking kill me already.
No problem bud, where do you live?
Old or new post your fav's.
Anyone do any colouring books? Im not very artistic, but thought it looked kind of cool and easy to do.
Any suggestions about whats best (easiest) to colour with? And maybe any good books?
>>2656880

But I like the pretty colours

So do all shut-in's
Anyone of you chumps aware of Darkgem? The furry artist? I juts came across him by chance (lol) and was absolutely blown away by how good he is. Some of his stuff atleast.
He has a few paintings of bara type anthro characters with dick and balls showing, that are straight up top 0.1% skill bracket.
What the fuck though... it's so confusing to see something so low-brow subject matter wise be painted with such incredible skill and taste (by taste I mean the lighting and colors, not the gigantic cock and balls poking out towards the viewer).
So I really wonder... who is this guy? Is he known? Is it someone working as a concept artist or illustrator otherwise?
>>2656531
From the example you posted, he's good, but I wouldn't say .1%, or even 1%. He has great command of anatomy as well as light and color, but the subject itself is, how to say, plain? Typical? Not really uninspired, but I've seen it before.
> ...it's so confusing to see something so low-brow subject matter wise be painted with such incredible skill and taste
It's passion and product rolled into one. He obviously loves what he does to have devoted hours to it, and it sells. It's a win/win by those standards.
Thanks for sharing anon, his gallery is loaded with fundamentally strong works worth studying.
His themes might not fit my taste but the skill I gotta admire.
>>2656539
No no no he didn't draw that SF character. I can't link his stuff because they are furries, thread will get nuked. You need to google him.
>>2656604
Rite? There's that one painting of some polar bears ass and it's freaking incredible. He uses techniques and methods that you would generally attribute to only the best of the best of digital painters.
okay so you hop off of it for whatever reason, maybe there are a few. How do you get back to drawing daily? Any good advice? Anything at all?
The only thing you can do is get back at it.
Just sit down and fucking do it.
>>2656832
may be if you got a question you don't start it with a shitty fetish picture?
so people who actually work on their art wont think that you are some millenial autist who probably dont take art seriously and uses it to draw waifus?
No getting around it, you've got to work hard and as much as you can. Get back to it. You can do energetic gestures as warm up and paint what you love as your "comeback" piece. Now stop losing focus, nigger. If you're not improving, thousands of other artists are and you're going to get cucked when youre looking for jobs.
Holy shit, these are so much better to study than plain old photos.
Anyone know any good place to get them from?
There are lots of sellers online but the prices are ridiculous.

Purchase a couple of xbox kinects off of craigslist and use them as a 3d scanner

Sketchfab has quite a few scans, all free to view in your browser. Not all of them are the greatest quality, but some are pretty good.
They also have great 3D sculptures of muscle masses, I go there frequently for reference.

Now do a good one.

Would you like us to critique it? If so, I think you're better off going to the beginner's thread
I am having a hard time learning how to construct heads and the human body. Any artists or tutorials you can recommend to learn from?
>>2653670
My favorite - and one that a lot of people here like - is Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael Hampton. A pdf of it turns up in a google search.
totally totally totally forget all these guidelines people draw, it's a fashion trend, it ruins sketches.
When you're drawing compare distances to each other aloud in your head, really try to make mental notes of where things are in comparison to one another.
Then try this at a life class or sketching people in cafes.
You can train yourself to judge distances by being acutely aware.
>>2653678
Can someone verify this? I hate the idea of learning with those stupid guidelines. Cartoony shit like that is an eyesore to me.
Post your OC. Make an OC. Talk about OC. Make OC look bad ass. Critique other OC!
>>I will compensate for this shitty Microsoft Paint OC. Only created it to make this thread.

shirtless and angry most of the times
The entire concept of OCs trigger me. I dont understand why people are like "this is my oc".
Literally anything you draw that is not fanart is technically "OC" so dont fucking blow it up like its something special. Whenever people go "MUH OC" I instantly get a "Wow, this guy is still stuck in the deviant-art/tumblr age".
>>2631416
I agree
