I thought the use of color was gorgeous although the OP hadn't been happy with it.

Here's my experience. I have/had impingement in my left shoulder while waiting for surgery to shave down the bone and cut the muscles so that it wouldn't get inflamed by rubbing together. My right shoulder started to develop the same thing (I'm built symmetrically and its a genetic problem). So I have the chance to go for surgery on my right shoulder and correct the pain that is there when I've over used it but that'll take my shoulder fully out of use for around a month and it won't feel better for another two months, I know this because that's how long my left shoulder took to recover. Well I'm not willing to do that so I've been doing physio therapy exercises for my right shoulder, basically the same ones I use on my left shoulder to recover it. I don't think they help for shit. What's helped me is finding nice positions to draw in and paying attention to how long I've been sitting a certain way. I found a nice position for my cintiq for my mouse and I know good positions for pencil and paper drawing too that minimise my pain and extend the time I can be drawing. Tldr if you have pain from drawing try multiple positions until you work out something that fits. I draw with a4 paper on a clipboard I found a thinner clipboard helps and sitting it at an angle. My cintiq I need almost flat. Its all about what works for you. Try and find your good working positions anon.

the problem didn't occur because of art but it really impacted my ability to practice.
Last year I had tendonitis or a sprain of some kind, it was hard to tell (felt like the tendon was rolling over the bone)

not sure how well it relates to what you are going through but stretches, advil, and making sure to wear any kind of brace when not drawing taking regular breaks and using ice to reduce inflamation. took about 4-5 months to recover.

Got a few issues myself, and I'm still feeling pain in my drawing shoulder. Do sports, yoga and get some massages. Take some rest every 20minutes to stretch a bit. Avoid everything that hurts as much as possible. Throw your mouse away (got a keyboard with integrated touchpad). Be wary of keyboard pain (especially those bloody shortcuts). Experiment with positional issues and material.

If you have money, invest in: a good chair, a good desk (the most important is that they are adjustable). I bought an Ergo Rest arm to help.

Remember, this battle is the long haul, it took me months to get rid of the burning pain that kept me awake, and there are still remnants.

I like it

Thanks anon

Very nice. If you were a girl I'd date you even if your were reasonably homely.

A wip that is problematic...

Not enough info. What medium? Who is hiring? What is it for? What is your skill level?

There will be very different answers if it like a digital fantasy portrait for a card game or an oil painting of some important person.

>>2547946


It be acrylic or oil. It be a lady having a portrait of her children.

>>2547947
post an example of your portrait work

skill level dictates price

Nothing's wrong. That's what happens.

Talk to a therapist instead of 4chan because whatever thinking patterns your brain is stuck in is definitely abnormal. It's fine if there is occasionally some jealousy, but if every time you literally can't even appreciate something or be inspired by it because you are filled with hate then something is wrong.

>>2548996
This happens to every one. The trick is to look for work that inspired you as a kid or even right now. For example when I watch any sort of smooth animaton it inspires me because I used to love it a lot as a kid

Fucking love nesskains work.

>>2549099
good for u

just don't be an asshole

if you make a small mishap, just calm down and don't act like its a big deal (people on the internet like to escalate drama/make it a big thing)

Start a patreon.

you think I have enough appeal? I wonder if there any unspoken requirements for starting one...

>>2549526
It can't hurt to try, worst case scenario you get no donors.

also; jesus christ, what happened to this place?
no draw thread on the first page, instead I see "draw your fetish" and porn threads everywhere.

Where she's holding the lantern wouldn't light her face like that--the angles are wrong and it's way too strong and too sharp/directional. The raised arm looks really bad, get ref and redraw.

The thumbnail reads nicely though.

What's the story? What will be in the rest of the image? It feels like the image is missing something.

>>2549377
Light from the lantern wouldn't be that bright on her face. Tone your values by 10% unless it's a really fucking bright lantern.

Also make all the lit parts warmer if it's just a flame and the lantern design doesn't 'neutralize' the light making it more of a white.

Her lantern holding hand and feet are tiny af.

Have you seen the shit top doujin artists are churning out, though? Better product quality by far than half of professionally published stuff.

Like, not even the sex and fetishes. Art's great, layout's great, writing's good depending.

What artist is this?

>>2549335
looks like fatalpulse.

>Twitter
Obnoxious users like tumblr.

>Deviantart
Is it still cringe worthy and juvenile like it was years ago ?

>Instagram
... might give it a try but it seems more like a place to post your photos and pretty them up with filters.

BeHance.
