/las/ - Last Artist Standing

>>2763316
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.

what really improved my outlook on all arts is looking into mahayana buddhism aka zen.
that shit freed me of doubts and all pretense of having control over what you create.
let your art be created without forcing it into what you THINK you want it to be

obligatory submitting comments time!

Vsock: that's cute as shit. Good work.

Choob: I know you've heard this a million times by now, but you need some harder/sharper edges in there, man. You're always just a bit too blurry, like you took a picture with the wrong focal distance.

Spiritist: less is more with brushstrokes unless you're Van Gogh. You sort of always rely on more, smaller strokes to fill in values, which isn't inherently bad, but I think you're pushing messy over stylistic with this one.

Keep it up, lads and lasses.

>>2763316
i've been gone for a long while. how many artists left with perfect record?

>>2763347
nvm, just saw this

>>2763549
Like, maybe 2.

>>2763549
>>2763550
most of those don't have a perfect record, as in they've lost tokens, only like 4 people remain that are truly flawless that have been here from the start

artscrub, you robot will have some problems with this tiny third leg. Have you tried to paint mecha using big brush (no lines).

saucy, your rag doll will have some problems with this tiny third leg. I Dig the wiki how style.

innocent, dark crystal it is. No cube? Draw cubes again, it's better for you.

raincloud, Nice progression, i'm proud of you. At your age i was drawing a sun in a corner of the paper.

blooves, cube? don't draw cubes again, it's better for you. Nice drapery (you draw more plans before adding value)

Vsock, too cute to deserve any comment.

Spiritist: less is bore with brushstrokes, be more messy, the style will come. Or you will figure out more is more and less is less. Fuck Mies van der Rohe (RIP).

baguettekid, LOL

>>2763605
>those first two
I had a giggle

>>2763605 hahaha i dont even know why thats there. I might try doing a mech with only big brush strokes. Thanks for the feedback

besides the croquis cafe models, are there any other compilations?

Comments.

Aimai, very sinix with that pen choice. Like it, colour adds that pizazz. Piece'a'ass.

Cath, you've made that value shift between beard and face way too high, you don't need a silhouette for it and don't worry about soft transitions for seemingly hard forms. You're not in danger of becoming Choob's fuzzy shit if you pull out the soft edges when the situation demands it.

iinaa, hmm.

Rorg, don't go sketching out landscapes with line and countour, it'll make it take about a billion years longer than a form and value sketch.

I mean the castle, sure, but mountains n shit? Don't do that to yourself.

Marvolo, didn't have to submit that giant amount of work, you're making the rest of us look bad.

>>2763863
you do know those are bargue plates?

>>2763605
>>2763533
>spritist
I guess I never noticed the small brushstrokes thing but anyway there's no intentional style in this one (or most of them really), just me being lazy to blend and/or not knowing what the fuck painting/blending/texturing is and trying to do it all at once.

How do I draw things from a ground level perspective? I've been trying to do it to get a better grasp at doing it but just getting down on the floor everytime to see what stuff looks like to draw takes up too much time

If you want to draw things from a ground level persperctive, put your vanishing point on the ground level ?

Do you comment ?

>>2764024

2p vanishing points go on the horizon always,
the horizon(eye level) meanwhile can move.
look up three point perspective

Come one don't be shy, speak up anon. If you don't want to tell your nick describe your work. Do you want critic on a peculiar point ?

Innocent's thing is cool.
Vsock's is cute.
Aestro's is also cool.

Saucy's shit is disgusting plastic garbage as usual.
Please learn to draw. Please learn to draw something/anything appealing. Please study bodies & faces & how to render skin.

fluffable, nice inflatable doll and gay pride background.

aestro, i like it! Don't let your testicle on the left on the forground.

jeremias, nice psychorigid drawing. Hang out more.

bondage, not bad for a furryfag. The gradient on the cock should have more subtility. 5i know it's a WIP, but don't be like the others of your kind)

whizzard, psylo look like tits. Also, colors are not unrealistic as they sould be. Take more shrooms.

Truket, what is the little boy doing in his pocket?

Obligatory:
>From the age of 6 I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was 50 I had published a universe of designs. But all I have done before the the age of 70 is not worth bothering with. At 75 I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am 80 you will see real progress. At 90 I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At 100, I shall be a marvelous artist. At 110, everything I create; a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. To all of you who are going to live as long as I do, I promise to keep my word. I am writing this in my old age. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign my self 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing.'

I agree with the sentiment, pursuing and putting effort into something even if you don't make anything of it. You at least devoted yourself to something.

>Have no time to draw cause busy

>feel super motivated
>have whole day free

Why

>>2764318
First step is the hardest, friendo. You must get in the habit of getting in the habit.

>>2764322
I am in the habit, it's just whenever I get time off from school/work it throws me off and I can't get into the groove for some reason.

>>2764327
I was in the same situation as you and the only compromise I could find was just to make school be for art.

How can I learn to paint hair, /las/?

>>2764327
Then you're not in the habit.

Build yourself a "trigger zone" so that you mentally associate a series of conditions with art and habitually start doing art. This means temperature, light, particular room, attire, shit like music or ambience, whatever it takes.

Willpower is a myth. The trick is to train yourself like a dog and hold the leash.

>>2764333
By learning how to learn for one. It'll prevent you from asking questions and wasting time.

quick question. How do I stop feeling like shit all the time so I can actually focus on gitting gud? Pls and thank

>>2764389
Feeling is just in the mind, so instead of feeling like shit. Feel happy.

>>2764389
stop masturbating from now on

>>2764389
do you have some reason to feel shit?

>>2764389
force yourself to get a lot done in a day. once you get into the routine, the feeling of being productive will keep you happy.

What should I be drawing if I want to practice rendering is it just spheres and cones?

>>2764449
You should be practicing rendering on every kind of object imaginable.

>>2764449
render assholes for a year

>>2764391
I'm cured
>>2764392
Does that actually help? Will try
>>2764395
Aside from shit social life, not really no.
>>2764416
I'm already fairly productive. Draw for a couple hours every day. It helped at first but not anymore.

>>2764493
do you go outside on a routine or are you neet?

>>2764535
Yeah but only for school/errands.

https://picarto.tv/artscrub its starting to get cold

>>2764327
you are in the habit of drawing when you are busy with school/work but not in the habit of drawing when free, just like me

again, great cute girl vsock, we are never too low on cute girls, I also like the wordplay

you have good taste Cath, asuka best girl

>>2763863

Rorg here, took what you said on board and decided to practice value some more today. You're right about it being better to block out forms and values than to sketch with lines. Even thumbnailing seems like it would be better to just start with blocks. Thanks.

>>2764179
Are you goofing on me about drawing too much of the same type of stuff or what do you mean with psychorigid?

Cath, you're borderline symbol drawing with that nose and the hardedge contour on the nose and chin is unnatural.

You render by putting light down where it belongs, not by putting down light for light's sake.

Artscrub, I'm not going to deny that I've seen heavy cast shadows on soup but between the incongruous specular map and heavy value shift between cup and soup it's weird and memeable.

Soroneir - Photoshop > Image > Auto-Contrast. Also take photos from a fair distance away to allow the lens to adjust, expecting the lens to adjust to the page size is a waste of time.

vsock, chinks undermined the entire western labour market by throwing their base human capitol into a blender, and between the TPP and the movements independent of that determined to cut them out, I'll be glad to see them starving in the streets like the subhuman rats they are.

Mathias nice work yay.

you can miss 1 day in a month and not get deleted.

That's the spirit of Coubertin: "the important thing is to participate". On the bright side you are right.

>>2765053
no
max is one and you can only get it back after a month if you lost it

the time has come, after almost one year of work people are finally evolving showing who pushed hard and improved and who was a failure all along. its clear in the daily submissions that the quality has gone up. i cant keep up. i was never going to keep up.

I'm gonna attempt to make a 100% honest list of week1s who are improving and I'll try to provide constructive feedback to those who I think aren't. Might take a little while but be on the look out. It'll be 100% meme free.

>>2765448
It's more of a commitment thing.

>>2765473
Sometimes I wonder if it was really worth joining at all since I was late on the action. Week 1 this, week 1 that.

>>2765575
You won't be a part of the memes and there really isn't a strong sense of community for anyone, even week1s. However, if your work is strong, appealing, or stands out, then people will mention you regardless and take note of you. It's happened with a couple of people in the past. Couldn't hurt to try anyways tho since it's kinda motivational just to see all the other stuff people drew for the day.

>>2765579
>However, if your work is strong, appealing, or stands out
Well that's not happening.

>>2765592
Lol welcome to the club. Don't worry tho, you're not really missing out. I'm a week1 beginner and no one really gives a shit. The only real difference between me and you is that maybe a handful of people will post about me if I get eliminated. Try it out my man.

>>2765575
It's not a race or a competition, it's drawing every day for the sake of improvement.

>>2765604
What happened /r9k/? How can we help you improve?
>>2765723
What if Improvement is motivated by competition? Sometimes.

>>2765740
Then use the spirit of competition to motivate you. However, remember to never use motivation as your main driving force. It's discipline and the ability to say "no" is what you need.

>>2765723
I was drawing every day for the sake of it long before LAS, I was just looking to shoot the shit and the above poster was right, there's no real community here.

Besides, willpower and motivation aren't sustainable. You just get shit done through habit and routine making an activity so ingrained in your psyche that it isn't remotely a chore to do it. It's just something you do now.

Same deal with diets, exercise, any other hobby, that sorta thing.

Question for the thread:
I've been trying to figure out a good way to do line art in Krita that will look decent when colored, but I can't figure out which parts are due to my methods being inherently flawed and which are just badly executed. Does anyone have any advice?

>>2766274
>he's still in topics
looooool

>>2766274
>>2766281
This tbhfamilio. Just neck yourself if you're still doing topics. In all seriousness tho, why are you still doing it? Isn't it the same batch of repeating topics at this point? I also doubt anyone else votes or cares anymore besides people in it, so there a 99% chance you sadist fucks just like torturing each other.

do you guys think lava has improved at all? And if you think he is, do you think he's improving at a reasonable pace.

I personally feel like he has improved but it looks like he's trying to reinvent the wheel instead of just studying properly. Also he should stop using a binary brush and scribbling around everywhere, just makes his stuff look that much worse. I feel like he could've improved way more if he's actually putting in the crazy amount of time he said he was putting in.

you niggers seems to believe I ONLY do topics
the topics are merely my submission for LAS, I like having the streak going, but I also do a lot more on the sidelines

>>2766290
I think he's improved a bit, but like you said
>I feel like he could've improved way more if he's actually putting in the crazy amount of time he said he was putting in.
I mean, he says he's doing like 20 pages a day traditionally besides the digital stuff he submits to LAS, so I'd have assumed he'd have improved a fuckton more than he appears to have

for everyone else, just scroll down here for his progress:

no. i haven't put effort into my submissions for a very long time, i only draw for 30 minutes, i'm trying to find a job right now even though i don't need to because i want to save enough money to buy a car and move to bum fuck nowhere and work as a delivery guy. it feels stressing to draw right now because i've been trying to impress you all with shit doodles so much so that i've grown afraid of touching the tablet. its pathetic. i think lava is going through the same thing when it comes to his drawings, plus he has physical shit slowing him down.

Rendering and Grayscale coloring are memes

>>2766481
>Rendering a meme
Are you retarded?

nice meme, humanbean
it'd be a shame if someone reported that as inappropriate thumbnail

Would I still be able to draw every day if I join the military?

>>2766487
it's a meme in the sense that if you render every study you will get little done and improve at a snail's pace

Cath, your eye placement is off and some more colour variation would be nice, like the reds you have at the chin and lower cheeks.

AAphk, nice curvy forms but remember to triple check measuring, some of those arms are too short and legs a bit long.

Whizzard, that's the exact face my friend makes when she dies, gg.

Cranium, her forehead to the top of her head is a bit squished/cramped, face looks great though; the thick, more angular lines helps it read well. Also see attached pic.

>>2766512
Rendering isn't worth studying?

>>2766527
Sure it is, but generally not as a beginner.

And I don't mean never render, just don't turn every study into a 2hr+ piece. Repetition, doing quick things over and over again will bring you faster progress.

When you look at the people (I don't mean LAS specifically- just looking at sketchbooks on conceptart.org can give you a good visual as to this) who spend hours upon hours doing singular fully rendered pieces every day when they don't even know how to construct or draw simple shapes at all- you notice they spend years upon years without making much progress at all and are generally the absolute worst at drawing from imagination.

>>2766510
no pls! I had to upload from my phone and it wouldn't let me generate a thumbnail so I had to use some random thing I already had saved.

P-Pihori?!?!!!?!?!??!?!?

>>2766538

dont worry humanbean, the punishment for an inappropriate thumbnail is a thumbnail change, you don't lose a token or anything

he's not made any progress since day 1, it's pretty obvious

>>2766598
Not sure if legit. Prove it, draw a little doodle.
But if true, why?
>>2766615
Lack of progress is mostly cause he didn't really try to improve anything. Just drew w/e for fun instead of studies. I'm sure he could probably improve if he wanted/focused on it.

>>2766598
i thought it was real as well and then i realized they said it was a pleasure being here.

Good point with the rainbow. I forgot to even consider that it should be reflected too.

Caterpillar, the construction looks good but you have to learn to render man.

Yotsuyu, I like the face but something feels flat about the body, also is too stiff.

Sasori, are you trying to get better with construction? because you need it and here it seems you are doing the same thing you always do.

Manadabes, I think you should practice this with paper and a ruler. Also right bottom is the worst cube, I mean, look at the top.

>>2766598
I'm not really quitting art, mind you. I won't stop after all the time that I already put into drawing.
It's just a lot of RL things came up, so I need to take a break for at least 2-3 months from LAS. (Work related)
Regardless of that, I'll still keep on drawing maybe not every day (For upcoming 2 months), but for sure at the weekends,
where I can actually put effort and time to get better. In the meantime, I could create account on thumblr and post there
weekly for people, that enjoy some loosely clothed anime girls in suggestive poses.

About the lack of progress. I think that it quite reflects the time that I put in daily. One hour per day is just not enough time
to see some real progress.Even more so when you try to do most of your drawing from imagination. I still think my anime girls drawings, look better than before. (The Ones where I actually put in some effort)

So all in one I wish you good luck, lassies. Don't forget to keep drawing with or without the LAS.

He's right.

It's weird. What I think happens is that beginners see this desire for critique that is exuded and think "Man I can help fix this, I can be a force for good in this community." It's entirely a benevolent notion.

But here's the thing. You suck. You can't articulate yourself in your own work, let alone others. Just look out for yourself, and once you get to a certain proficiency you will see very clearly why nobody takes their time to do indepth critiques.

ATTENTION: The Secret Santa will begin at the end of Friday! Whatever time the LAS deadline is for you on Friday evening/night, that's when people will be randomly matched up.

When you send out your Christmas card is up to you, but sooner is better if you want it to arrive by Christmas, especially if your partner is abroad. This doesn't apply to the digital only people of course.

If you'd like to be part of the LAS Secret Santa (mostly a christmas card exchange but you're welcome to add whatever else you like) then you have the next couple of days to send an email to [email protected] and still get matched up with a lovely lassie for a christmas card.
Please say your LAS username in the message, as well as if you want to be digital or physical card. If it's physical, please include your address.

Not going to say who's in it so far because that'd ruin the surprises, but there's a few well known names and week1s. You could be matched with your favorite lassie, who knows~

For people not wanting to take part in the 1on1 card exchange, I'll make a LAS challenge next week where anyone and everyone can make cards for LAS and all the lassies in general.

>>2768488
LAAAAVVVVVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think it's cause new weekers don't get entered into the week challenge (cause week challenges stopped existing), right?

While the people that were around before week challenges were discontinued still belong to whatever week challenge they originally joined in.

So, when a new person gets eliminated, the announcement script doesn't announce that they've lost a week challenge, cause they never were part of them in the first place, what does happen however is their Leaderboard Streak gets reset, it just never gets announced cause there's nothing in the programming to announce "X failed their streak", only shit to announce failed challenges.

And somehow maybe tokens got mixed up in there too, cause they're not getting announced either.

tl;dr: shit's fucked, where's lava?

It will take someone making a replacement site to bring him back out of his own ass to do anything. His ego couldn't handle everyone moving on and forgetting him, so he came back once DED went live. Once it died he left again. Coincidence? Unlikely.
