FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?

>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].

What do we draw?

>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.

What's a low effort warning?

>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.

>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.

What happens if I'm eliminated?

>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.

How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?

>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.

Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?

>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

I feel that anime/manga is only popular because of the mid 80s and 90s generation of people. Nowadays kids think anime is gay and would rather watch minecraft streams or whatever kids like these days. The oversimplification of western cartoons is popular with kids today due to adventure times success. In other words animes popularity ends with the millennials.

>>2581043
#2 as a sidenote what I used to do was ask kids what their fav anime is in younow streams and the response is always - "anime is for losers" or "I don't watch anime" or "I tried watching anime and like, I don't like it" etc

>>2581047


Anime appeals too teenagers really, wait till they hit 13/14 and they will get into it.

I'm a "millennial" and I didn't watch it until that age.

>>2580988
omg stop

wut

Do you mean if they come from an academic/art-aware background or not? Just ask them?

>>2580793
what the fuck are you talking about, more than half of /ic/ who posted pics of themselves online aren't white

>>2580793
>with just white people?

There are quite a few hispanic artists and lots of asian artists though. I suppose when you say people of color, you mean black people?

Look up Paleo art. There's a big ass book of it you can get at bookstores. I have it, it's pretty good. Only guy I can remember is James Gurney though.

are you even looking at the head?

stop symbol drawing, actually LOOK. Read the sticky too or the Beginner thread's op

>>2580745
I just drew the thing on the right as a joke

>>2580750
Draw something that's not a joke then.

Put in sincere effort.

dunno but I like Geddes

>>2581257
That looks good and weird but I wouldn't really call it surrealist

>>2581261
What's not surreal bout it? Beskinksi is my pick.

Maybe stop shoving them up your butt? Would you like to reorder a pack of 10 white nibs? I'll use my employee discount just for you.

r-r-r-retard strength

I've been using the same spring nib for years and it still works fine. What are you doing to your poor tablet?

just keep drawing without reference, no shit. what did you expect?

draw with emotions and let your mind go blank. Or just go totally blank, start drawing simple shapes and see where it goes.

You could try making unnatural hand movements.

>>2580657
>drawing from reference
look at the reference more than your drawing

>drawing from imagination
look at the drawing more than your reference

if you do it that way, you'll retain the form a lot better than the first way

>>2580538
Ask /x/ how to.

Just, really, really try to ignore the other "astral" shit they post.

>>2580538
Well shit OP I might just do the same

How do you lucid dream?

>>2580538
lucid dreaming does help with it

i mean when you think about it your mind is capable of cataloging so much detail down to people's faces and architecture accurately enough to portray it back to you in your dreams

if you can tap into that then you can do anything really

>>2580297
To be honest I don't really think it's something you need to train specifically it's just something to keep in mind as you compose the figure or composition, it should come naturally as you get better at gesture, anatomy, perspective. etc All of these things are training you to see in 3D the better you get, the clearer the picture is in your mind. All that stuff Vilppu says about feeling the pose, the idea is to just imagine yourself doing a pose picture how your weight would be distributed, if you're holding something then where is the centre of balance of the thing you are holding and how is your body reacting in order to accommodate the weight, imagine you're looking at someone else doing the same pose, look in the mirror and observe, take note of how gravity affects clothing etc do anything you can in order to help develop a clearer picture in your mind.

"When asked about the 'grey and black' paintings, he said, quite simply, that they were about death. They are desolate, empty images, but they also afford a richly ambiguous visual experience. Their landscape-like qualities, with the black at the top — an Arctic wasteland under a vast and empty sky — is at the same time more deathlike."

What about this one?

>>2580295
simiar feeling. though rather than a hole in my monitor it's more like a window peering into another room.

keep posting this is fascinating
