/las/ - Last Artist Standing

>>2748229
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.

mommy, when is lava coming back?

We're all gonna make it

Friendly reminder:

manadabes, don't shade color with black or gray so much. it makes it look muddy and unappealing. try using a darker color to shade with instead, like dark brown over regular brown.
also the scraggly grass lines don't help when almost everything else is fuzzy and poorly-defined. you could have made it blobs of green and it would at least match with the rest of the background.

marvolo, you're better off just drawing in the general shape of the hair like you did with some prior pics. if you try to define hair and its highlights in strands it looks like yarn instead.
I can't comment on the face because it doesn't have one.

turket, this is a really minor thing but the nasolabial folds (lines on sides of nose & mouth) are too dark, and make her look older and/or less feminine.
why does the pic look like someone smudged all around the outline?

>tfw don't even know what my art goal is anymore
I originally wanted to do YouTube animations but now I'm not feeling it. Still wanna git gud but have no clue what I'm aiming for. What're your guys' goals? How have the changed from the start of las to now?(if they have changed)

>>2748317
I want to make paintings that are interesting and novel to look at while remaining technically excellent, short games that are experimental while grounded and sink their hooks into the memory, and sketches that'll wow other peeps when I have to go enlist because I need a job and those are the only guys hiring.

Somewhat vague but still achievable and quantifiable goals, that's what's important.

>>2748317
To git gud and make vidya with nice art in my own time

>>2748317
My dream was to establish an animation studio with friends or likeminds, but I'm realizing now I'm just too socially inept to pull it together.

I'm taking a couple years off to make a short, but now my husband's telling me he doesn't care if I never go back to work. I'm afraid I'll just blow the whole thing off to be a housewife. I'm only making this to feel like I accomplished something. My long term dreams are dead and I don't know where to go when/if I finish. /blog

>>2748342
>establish an animation studio with friends or likeminds, but I'm realizing now I'm just too socially inept to pull it together.
I don't know if the same person keeps posting this or if there's just that many people on las with that exact goal. I also have the exact same goal, and I know a few others do too. Maybe if well all git gud in the next couple years and stick to las (more importantly Larva doesn't fuck the site) we'll pull a massive black and become a GOAT studio.

>>2748344
>(more importantly Larva doesn't fuck the site)
If Lava dies someone will just make a new site.

>>2748346
I-I've been burned before anon. Don't wanna say any names.......dubya.

>>2748348
We all gotta die sometime. DED, LAS, all monuments to the road of Progress.

>>2748344
Yeah, I've seen other lassies post about it too, which is why I had high hopes going into LAS. But the discord going live is what made me think it was impossible. I'm really not trying to shit on them, but it proved that people with stronger personalities will take over and the less sociable will fade into the background or drop it out of disinterest. If there was some guarantee that we could work 100% collaboratively then I'd be more optimistic.

>no pepe after 3 and a half hours
D-did I finally do it?

Internet persona is different than real life anyways. We all know Choob isn't that bad. Right?

>>2748360

A bit. I've figured that it just lowers inhibitions.

>>2748317
I want to do concept art for a movie so I can take my mom to the theater and show her my name in the credits.

>>2748389
Don't worry - if you don't make it, I'll be sure to take your mom to the theater for you.

>>2748317
illustration with animation influences. I didn't get into drawing to draw pretty pictures, but to draw stuff with a lot of movement in it

I don't even know how to go about since I am still a beginner, but all I know is I have to git gud

>>2748357
Not unless pepeposter was waiting for my shit to get used instead of his own.

>>2748317

I would if he open sourced the code, but he's said he doesn't want to work with others on it.

Like the opposite of a politician under fire for child sex trade, I'm here to make multiple comments.

Soronier, nice value practice, but pool of light management gets more interesting when applied on a more macro scale or over objects.

Vsock, eyyyy. Working with black line on a pure white canvas has totally fucked your values, though, you've way overcompensated. Also RIP your hands.

Cacklepotato, I love fucking around with chroma too but those are some pretty weak values.

on clean digital linework but I can assure you that gray in gray construction with no line width management isn't the way to do it.

>>2748354
Susi still 90% of the chat?

Comment after submission time.

Mechafish, you have tried but that body doesn't follow the perspective at all, start the sketch with a box next time.

Eddcer, I like this one a lot, great atmosphere.

Nelli, that's just ugly, start practicing rendering.

Turket, you are on the right way but you still have to study a lot, it doesn't look like you have built the body's structure at all.

>>2748823
I'd be very surprised if anything else was the case

>>2748823
Yes, and most of the cool people have already left because of her retarded opinions on everything, so there's nothing really going on there.

>>2748823
I haven't been there in a while, but it's not like it's all Susi. There are a lot of outgoing posters. If it was 90% one person it'd probably be easier to get your voice in.

Reminder that Leslie is a cute name, but ONLY for females.

and caffeine

everything else in my life is comfy healthy

>>2749056
It has recently dawn on me that the junk I buy from the dollar store is slowly killing me. I have become paranoid and started reading the labels on the food carefully like one product "cheese" which isn't really cheese it just says "sandwich slices" but looks like cheese. No matter how much I put it in the microwave or oven it will never melt. You can nuke this cheese and it will still retain its thickness.

Then there is the ramen. If I leave it out for like a day it grows moss and fungus looking stuff like instantly and the noodles looks like it turns into plastic. Cookies from the dollar store never seem to get stale unlike oreos where if you leave it out of its package it's texture gets soft. I guess this is how they kill off the poor people. I'm going to look into healthier diets.

How do you know that person is trans filth?

>>2749498
Literally one person out of two in this thread is either a furry or a trans or a female rights activist. I guess I was right.

>>2749500

That explains some things...

Commenting because this little game is even more boring if participated in with complete isolation.

Coinhero, nice... Study? Nice use of desaturated tones on the floor. Ceiling window cast shadows are a bit saturated though.

Well, Rorg, the trouble with lighting that isn't direct and cast is that you're in danger of an underwhelming picture. You have to really work at it to make the picture work without the contrasting values.

Sasori, you might want to look into getting a decent sketching brush. Yeah, you can achieve anything with the hard round, but it looks like you're petting lines to get the opacity you want and it's just a whole lot easier to get a sketch and ink brush combo.

I mean really, there's gotta be a middle ground between sticking with the hard round and delving into FZD photobasher texture/symbol brush overload. You can experiment.

Saucy, thanks for reminding me of that one artist who drew fifty billion images if traps throatfucking morbidly obese men.

>>2749684
How do you select which peoples work to comment on? There are 26 submissions right now and you only chose a couple. Are there rules to this?

>>2749761
Just make comments of whichever submissions you want when you submit your drawing.

That way we give advice or just said things we like, the threads are alive and the sense of community is better.

>>2749684
Rorg here, very much agree. Thanks for the point about lighting. I've been having some wrist pain in the last few days so I didn't get to spend as long on it as I would've liked. If I put more time into it I would be thinking about building wear, adding debree, a figure or two, that kind of thing. As it stands it's a very boring image.

>>2749489
Tfw trans filth is better at painting than you...........

>>2749832
then grow, prove your superiority dammit, train ten, 100 times harder.

>>2749832
You must really suck

That fairy is nice, Kinder, but I'm sure you can do it way better. Draw her again it putting more time on the construction, and maybe make the wings bigger, I'm sure it will come out 100 times better.

Turket, your anatomy is going on the right way, but let's talk about the lines, there's no line weight at all. I'd suggest practicing that with traditional inking.

>>2750190
This, but not for the reason you think. Scrubs tend to flip out when handed what is essentially unsolicited advice so 9/10 times you really ought not to bother.

Whereas with someone who's made some progress, you can be completely off the mark with criticism that crashes and burns harder than the twin towers and they'll be like "aight".

>>2750204
>Scrubs tend to flip out when handed what is essentially unsolicited advice

I don't think anyone on LAS has ever complained about getting advice or crits.

Real advice for anyone in a similar situation.

Go to Walmart and buy one of those 8 kg bags of parboiled rice for 10 dollars. That bag will last you a month of easy meals before you need to buy more.
My favorite recipe with it is to set the rice boiling while I saute a chopped onion in a bunch of olive oil, then once the water in the rice pot is almost boiled off I dump the rice into the onion pan and fry the rice until it starts to clump slightly. Once it's clumping it's almost done, I add a bunch of sriracha sauce at this point for flavor and color, then it's ready to serve.
One cup of dry rice and one onion makes a full plate of delicious food, and costs less than a dollar for the portion.
Usually i make this rice as a good snack, but if I'm making it as an actual dinner meal I like to add a can of either salmon or sardines to the onion as it is frying. I make sure to fry the fish until it is starting to crisp up (it mostly disintegrates into flakes since it was already cooked), then continue the recipe as usual. That modification adds a bunch of protein and makes the rice much more hearty.

What you need to do is stop thinking that buying the cheapest food in the store means that you're spending less money on food. By doing that you're actually spending more money overall plus you're eating garbage. You need to start thinking in terms of buying bulk ingredients and using them to cook good meals that have a much lower unit price than anything you could buy anywhere else. Buy a pound of ground beef, several cans of assorted beans, canned or fresh mushrooms and tomatoes, fresh peppers and onions, and use them all to make several gallons of delicious chili that you can portion out and freeze in order to eat for the next couple of months. Grow herbs and spices on your windowsill. Buy discount unsliced bread loaves at Walmart or your local baker, learn how to bake bread yourself.

Eating like this is so easy, and it's cheap and good for you.

and u know what

in addition to the onion, you beat some eggs with seasoning and pour that in the center with a little circle hollowed out in the rice bed. A little milk and coffee creamer in the eggs if you dig sweetness. Stir that shit up when it thickens, add oyster sauce and soy sauce, bam, enjoy that struggle-fry my nigga

>gray in gray construction with no line width management isn't the way to do it.

Yeah, I really need to add more variation in there. The brush I use actually does have some width variation built in, but only like 20%. Think I should crank that up or just practice with a static opacity, weight-varied brush for a while? I can't wrap my head around 100% sensitivity for both, yet. It just doesn't feel right.

November's a bad month to really get to focus on drawing, but I'll have to make the time, I guess.

>>2745301
Probably spend some time in the comfort zone (sort of. I'm not at all comfortable with digital, yet) until things calm down a bit and I have more free time to practice.

If you consider that as shit, I guess I won't fit

Comment time: I closed the tab and lost all the comments edition.

Yotsuya, nice indication of form but there's some weird proportion decisions that throw me off. Stubby legs, long torso, detached upper lip, that sorta stuff.

Also why would you waste your time with Towergirls, man? That shit is a black hole of pointless contribution that has been raging for half a decade across multiple boards and sites.

Viktor, nice, uh, circle with lines. WIP? Say yes.

Cath, not sure if it was bad lighting but you're awfully conservative with that hatching, looks almost pillow shaded as a result.

Lava, who gives a fuck what I say we all know you stopped visiting these threads.

>>2750824
Self-deprecation is an art in itself. And also a defense mechanism.

Just post. Nobody cares. As long as you've got half an hours worth of retarded scribbles, nobody will.

>>2750188
Let me think... the first time I saw myself mentioned in the threads was because I was one of the only two flawless of our day left, and they were cheering us up. Some other times were comments about my entrys on a finished challenge, and most I remember were about my lewd drawings.
Last one I recall was because somebody recognized me when the streak challenge started and I uploaded a screenshot of mine.

Sasori: please, please, you have a lot of work to do, I'm sure you know it, study anatomy, don't always do finished drawings, you still don't know the fundamentals.

Nelli: yep, notebook paper

Soroneir: the idea is cute but all seems off, also that foot looks too big.

Hman: why so blurry, don't do that

>>2748597
I saw Dr Strange at the weekend, the amount of VFX work on that film is insane, and each studio had 3 or so people listed as concept artist, that's as well as the lead guys at the top who worked directly with Marvel. No one in the audience will notice or care, but it's pretty cute to show your mom your name in credits.

Do you think we should we wait longer for more people, maybe get lava or the discord lassies to post about it, or just start setting things up now so people have weeks to make and send/email their card?

Am I doing this color study thing right?

HumanBean, very nice feature study!

Mathias, amazing as always but I feel you could sometime stand to push values a bit more

Saucy, cute- I like your submission today more than your usual stuff

Digitixe, it's nice but the ball is misaligned with the cylinder it is supposed to be sitting on top of, and the diameter of that cast shadow is too small and is not the same shape as within your ref

manadabes, good job on those gestures!

>>2751238
Well, did you learn something?

>>2751241
I don't know

>>2751239
oh and >rozzle
your work is always very strong
I really commend your dedication to your pieces

this one in particular looks very good despite the fact that your colored work is generally more interesting. The fine details are very appealing so well done.

Marvolo, music would be less distracting than TV, even if you're not actively watching. Hatching takes time too. Try using flat tone to define the shadows instead.

CraniumOverLord, love the brushstrokes, but that frontal view is a little off kilter.

I love your sketches Nelli.

>>2751243
At no point did you ask yourself why the color was there and what makes it look that way?

>>2751368
>At no point did you ask yourself why the color was there and what makes it look that way?
I don't understand the question.

what happened innaaaa?

>>2751373
The point of a study is to STUDY. Were you just painting what you saw, or were you actively thinking about the colors?

>>2751380
I was thinking about them in the sense that I was trying to paint what I saw wrt value, hue and saturation, rather than what I thought I saw.
What do you mean by "actively thinking about"?

>>2751384
I think I know what he means. What you're doing is basically replicating the colors and values on the ref, which is helpful and it trains your eye to better analyze this stuff. BUT if you're doing a color study then you might wanna specifically focus on how the colors actually work. I.E. Why is the water some weird green tint instead of blue? What colors are used to indicate shade? Why are certain colors used in conjunction? How do they work together? What kind of color properties does water have? Just basically asking yourself WHY and trying to understand the reasoning behind certain colors being where they are. So when you do something from imagination you'll be able to go "Oh yeah, x color goes well with y".

Read through Gurney's Color and Light if you haven't. That should help you notice things when you study.

>>2751404

It's not that great of a book. It's like a series of anecdotes on various effects.

Robertson's How to Draw/Render is the much safer bet.

>>2751408

Alright, thanks. I think I might already have kind of been doing that, but I'll try to remember to focus on it.

Just remember that the LAS isn't a goal. It's not something you strive to keep to. The LAS is a way of showboating on other artists with barely any of the effort that you put in on any given day. Hours are what you're aiming for, not half an hour.

LAS should be such a minute factor that even on an off day, where you don't feel like drawing a thing, you've still got so much done that you can easily toss something to the beast.

Baby steps tho.

>>2751734
>even on an off day, where you don't feel like drawing a thing, you've still got so much done that you can easily toss something to the beast.

Turket, nice drawing but for some reason something seems off... I feel like the colors should be more vivid.

CRT, you have to grind more anatomy, keep going!

Viktor, this doesn't look like 30 minutes AT ALL, even for a beginner, the other day It seemed the same, be careful.

Yotsuyu, what happened? you cand do better than this, and you know it.

Nelli, this is just plain ugly, please search rendering tutorials or something.

Innocent, very nice debut! Is the hangman your signature? That's kinda cool. Little edgy. But cool.

Viktor - Gestural Lines might be Cruise Control for cool, but even with cruise control you still have to steer.

I'm jealous of your ability to actually render, Eddcer, but that probably says more about me than you. Nice work anyways.

imvisitingearth, digging the red construction base. Finally, a use for coloured pencils that isn't just immediately throwing them in the trash.

Cath.
Yeah moving on.

cacklepotato, nice amount of edge but the values are a little weak, especially around where that Hayabusa hand interacts with the face.

>The downside to not talking to anyone is that I no longer get to learn about peoples’ hopes and dreams. Everybody wants to do something different with art and it’s always interesting. I think the rarest in my collection was a guy that wanted to be a fashion artist. I didn’t know that was a thing before I met him but it’s got its appeal. Most of it is function over form but even those are interesting. I guess that’s not so rare in the real world but I still think it’s cool.

Lava confirmed for serial killer. He only kills artists he finds interesting and that's why he created las, to find the most interesting artists. Too bad the poor fool didn't realize las would be filled with boring in creative folk like you and me. I think that's what triggered his spiral into madness.

Taking bets on how long til Lava commits suicide

pihori get out of your comfort zone once in a while.

nice pose with that bunnygirl bondagefairy!

kirikae - ok, good perspective practice but your object's shape is really wonky. i'd go a little more precise with these to make them convincing

jbrennan - still life is great, but if you don't understand perspective--especially how to draw ellipses, they will keep looking wonky.

mooff - your color temperatures are inaccurate. you need to research color temperature and how it works, and you also need to fix your facial structure and proportions

jeremias - are these life drawings? keep doing them, always. look into rhythmic strokes (like even amundsen's stuff, or read the practice and science of drawing) instead of just replicating texture with boring and even strokes

mathias - cool, looking good. your male torsos are too small in proportion to the lower body. also noticing your perspective is off in a lot of your paintings/drawings/still life studies throughout your blog so look into that.

own you shit, anons,

don't whine about lack of comments or mean people. go find yourself some comments, come up with solutions, save up for a mentorship if you need it. ask questions. pester artists. do what you need to fucking do

no one is going to hold your hand

so no more whining "omg no comment on my work" shit seriously, toughen up

>>2753734
I mean I doubt it's actually eating away at people or affecting them in any significant way. It's just an offhand comment people make while looking through the thread.

But yeah, if people want feedback they should take charge and post their work in the other threads.

Uhhhh comment time fuck.

Nice CRT, CRT. Nice town bicycle, Cath. Nice picture that you've posted for the past three days Hman. Nice slanted picture Blooves. Nice manass artscrub.

Short for time. So irregularly worthless comments.

Whatever people just want to get mentioned, if that. Post earlier, you losers, I can't be fucked to go trawl through the submissions for yesterday.

Hman, are you going to learn to render any of these days? the way you do it is stupid, and so blurry it hurts

imvisitingearth, you are great, I hope you stay here for a long time unlike most new users.

Soroneir, the colors are good but It's all a bit clunky, those legs are terrible.

Viktor, you are not taking this seriously at all, all your drawings are made at the back of printed papers (from class, maybe?) and are just doodldes. Start studying, read the sticky.

so there are 6? loomis books. Ive skimmed them and they seem pretty detailed and usefull
