Been browsing every pages and couldn't find something quite related to what I'm looking for, so here goes:
I used to go on dA as a teenager and moved on to Tumblr and Instagram as I grew tired of the whole circlejerking tendency of dA.
I've gotten many followers and whatnot, but nobody talks to me, or critiques my work. I want interaction with people and a sense of community, as just posting art to get as many reblogs gets incredibly boring and unstimulating.
Where should I go to have actual interaction with people without having to constantly draw fan art/whore my everyday life and post selfies throughout my blog to make myself more relatable?

You could join a Skype group, if you're looking for more interaction
I happen to mod one. We have a weekly drawing theme, so you'll actually have to draw to stay in, which prevents lurks.
Post your skype ID if interested.

>>2593418
I never heard of that before, is there something to do with video/audio?
Definitely interested though, the pressure to draw would be a great incentive.

You'll need a lawyer and a "cease and desist" order. Also, you better turn this thread into a storytime.

You don't even need a lawyer if it's just some kid. Find a fancy C&D template online with scary walls of text and send it to them. They'll freak.

>TL;DR This thread is basically giving the idea of creating field journals of fantasy creatures and also asking where I could find some.
I've recently found that I have a bit of an obsession with giants, humanoids to be more specific. There's just something about the wild but gentle protectors of the wood that always fascinated me. I also love the idea of finding an old journal in a forest filled with anatomical sketches of beasts and descriptions of their behavior (I can't remember where I got this idea from and I would very much appreciate it if someone could recommend some journals like this).
Why in /IC/? I plan on making them heavily detailed with sketches and /IC/ is home.

I had a similar idea of wanting to make my own illuminated bestiary from scratch some day, binding and all.
>>
>>2589837
That sounds pretty cool actually. I kinda want to make one that's like a world war journal filled with charcoal sketches of guns and tanks etc. Any idea where you can buy an old timey journal thing?
>>
>>2589906
Honestly the best option would be to make your own. But if you're lazy or feel you want a stylized one, just Google "old leather journals". That's how I got the OP picture.
I plan on one day showing it to my children, I would have loved that myself. Just imagine clippings of exotic fur, drawings of massive birds and stories of adventures. This could be my life obsession, aside zoology.

Tantalizing paws upon her finessed bust
Potent mindful deception over her anatomy
Forced wrench of her vibrant razzmatazz cowlick
A metamorphic transformation within
Dissonant mar amongst her collar
Whomping breeze out of her bronchi
Writhing towards that holy grail
Orgasmic passion trickles down her spine
Contortionist psyche without a footprint of regret
A Woman brimming with a phobia of reality
Demands to be exposed to her rightful residence
In this hideous terrene around her

I've been practicing thinking in 3D on paper, but I keep forgetting how to think in 3D after I switch to drawing anatomy, etc.
How do I strike a steady balance between 3D studies, and anatomy studies? I only draw for one hour a day, but shouldn't that be enough?
Should I amp it up to 1 hour of 3D studies, and 1 hour of anatomical studies?
There's a big issue with me doing this though. By the time I'm done with 3D studies, I'm mentally burnt out. I don't see the point in studying anatomy if I don't put it into a good 3D form.
Should I just continue to try and master 3D forms until they aren't a mental obstacle anymore? This is where I'm at in terms of 3D thought.
It seems the more I learn of one fundamental, the more I forget of another.

answer to all drawing questions is draw more. There's no secret formula senpai.
>>
>>2598655
I think I'll just draw more 3D forms, and do them until I have them completely down, and then I'll split that between anatomy until I can fully transition into anatomy.
This might take a year even with 2 hours a day though.

The nub on my Huion tablet just off and disappeared. I dumped the contents of my bag and it's nowhere to be found. With the fucking 8 dollar shipping, a new set comes out to 16 bucks.Yeah, I'm a poor bitch, I don't have the money. You guys have any acceptable ideas on a cheaper alternative to jam up in there that may work?
Pic related, that's the tablet.

Does your huion have any removable parts, like for the wireless kits and other stuff? the bastards were well hidden there in my Intuos, not under whatever the piece was covering but on the actual piece itself. Try looking there.

Do any of you all have vitamin D deficiencies from not doing art outside? Apparently being an artist is a risk factor for having severe vitamin D deficiency my bud in Medical school told me.
I was suffering from depersonalization, having this horrible feeling like this life and world weren't real and just having a really negative outlook on my own life that would come or go for a year or so. Nothing was really wrong in my life, it was just a feeling, like how sometimes you might be happy for no reason.
I randomly had a physical and it turned out I had extremely low vitamin d levels. After a few months of doing prescribed suplements completely unrelated I noticed the bouts of depression and depersonalization had pretty much entirely gone away. Might anxiety was lessened, but I've had that my whole life. I happened to hear on the Joe Rogan experience from Dr. Rhonda Patrick about the power of vitamin D o so many systems in the body, and I'm seriously wondering if that was it.
So tldr just because I want to help people and because we see a lot of mental health problems on this board. Get a physical and get your vitamin D tested. Or just start taking supplements because 70% of the population is vitamin D deficient.
Anyone else ever have this happened to them?

I had a vitamin D deficiency from being a basement dweller. The witch doctor put me on an ultra high dose for a week and left me on 1000 IUs of D3 once a day. No changes in mood

Can confirm. I have clinical deppression, which has gone better after getting vitamin pills.
They said those who spend more time on the sunlight are happier. Talking about this and the general mood of sunlight i guess.
I still feel unhappy as fuck, but no longer gloomy or sad.
So, the key for a happy artist is: Take vitamins and leave your mom's basement.

Does anyone here had to force themselves to learn how to draw humans (or whatever you wanted to draw)? I'm more or less OK with non-live stuff (pic related), or at least I try to learn and improve the parts that I suck at. I've been doodling mechanical stuff/landscapes since I was a kid. But I can't bring myself to seriously learn anatomy to save my life. I started so many times and never went past basic skeleton anatomy, proportions and basic portraits. live stuff is so flexible and shape-shifting that it gets me all confused and nervous, so I go back to drawing my little buildings and trains and shit.
I actually want to draw humans well, but it's just so overwhelming.
It's not a thread about motivating me, I start over and over every few months before dropping it again and again. It's a thread about asking if anyone had an experience of actually pushing through and not dropping it on his 100th attempt.

Huh, I don't get it anon. You can't draw humans? But you can draw architectural stuff? So you can draw forms, just use that. It really shouldn't be too hard if that is your actual level skill in the pic. Just use that knowledge to abstract the human figure into simpler shapes. Start with that and as you get comfortable start adding more details etc. There are a huge number of books that explain this process. Studying anatomy so you actually understand what you are seeing will fix a lot of that as well. You will understand all that "flexible shape shifting" stuff because you'll know the muscles and bones that are creating those shifts.
>>
>>2596191
That's what I'm doing at the moment. The problem is that I hate learning how to draw anatomy, but I want to draw anatomy. I had no such problem with architecture/landscape/mechanical.
Since I asked people to share their struggle stories, I guess this thread is motivational in a way, shit. Don't like being in this whiny mood, I should just suck it up and draw.
>>
>>2596193
Hah, you're the total opposite of me.
I feel like I have an okay grasp on humans, but architecture/landscapes are beyond me.

Shut the fuck up and get yourself a tablet.
If you don't or can't afford a tablet, then draw on paper and scan that.
If you don't or can't afford a scanner, then take picture of your paper with your phone or something.
Get lost, mousebreather.
>>
Why you hef to be mad is only mouse
>>
You made your own thread, so you fucked up.
Also, why waste your time drawing with a mouse? Seriously what's the point? It's just generally a shitty medium for art and lacks any sort of precision or flexibility, and you don't really gain any useful transferable muscle memory in the way you do going from pencil to tablet.

Last thread: >>2574813
This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make anime works in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.
Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, drawing should be fun!

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any good physical models for drawing? Particularly a model head and even more particularly I'm looking for one that shows the angles of the head kindof like a polygonal model that's a good size to hold in your hand and use as a reference. I've been searching on ebay and google but pick related is the best I can come up with and it's a bit expensive and not exactly what I'm looking for.
Help!
