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

>The original developer of the site has taken a leave for quite a while, originally due to medical reasons. Progress on the site is almost non-existant at this point. You can try contacting him at @LavaFlake or emailing him at [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?

>Your streak will go back to 0 and you will have to start again. No other penalties.

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

>There is no week system anymore, instead new users are given "streaks" based on the number of consecutive days you can submit without getting eliminated. (token losses do not reset your streak)

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.
there. kick rocks.

Is there another /ic/ discord aside from the /las/ chat? I don't do las but I'd like to be around other /ic/ers in chat to share tips, critiques, etc.

When I was there it was mostly ex-lassies talking /fa/ or /pol/ shit. If they drew they didn't talk about it much.

the old one left out tier 1 and 2, so basically your 6 is actually a 5 because the revision one spread the tier out.

Papa here, I am humbled with the 9 thank u godspeed

>>2908780
From memory there's one for dedicated art crits and feedback, one for doing collabs, one for dumping sketches etc without getting crits back, and a references one. I know there's art talk in other channels but can't remember them all right now, the video games and shitposting ones obviously have less though but you can just mute them

And it has more art talk than other discords, the main ic one has just memes and furry stuff even in main art talk channels, and more serious ones are always less active

>>2908560
What do you guys think about 51ip being at 2? i mean that is a pretty messed up meme.

>>2908920
Below Saucy, shame on you 51ip.

>>2908779
Is going from 1 to a 3 good progress since the last list? What would be considered good progress?

>>2908978
any improvement at all is good
if you mean the old list with lava at 1 though remember they were made differently, that list was everyone at 1 and then moving people up accordingly
the new one looks like they started in the middle and moved people up or down

>>2908978

What was the previous one before the last list?

I didn't even make it on the list. Feels not good guy

>>2909148
make sure you're drawing and posting everyday and you'll make it onto the next one

>>2908982
> that list was everyone at 1 and then moving people up accordingly

>>2909171
well the default for the lava1 list had everyone at the lowest level as default, the moved up for merit
new list has the middle as average and then people moved both up and down

the new one works better for making an average level and then seeing where people compare, old one was just everyone is shit, here are the slightly less shit people, moving up to gud

Moirem nice straight edges and good job at really getting the planar nature of the asaro. Looks like your soft edges need some work.


Ephar expand both your value and color range. Looking flat, and the big red swoop interrupts the depth.


EujaFui, expand value range. You are going too light.

what kind of exercises do you guys do to practice perspective? i tried starting with copying gunpla photos but im having a really hard time wrapping my head around it. should i keep trucking or switch to simpler objects ?_?

>>2909481
Best practice is drawing boxes to be honest desu. It helps all the time to figure out which direction something should face. Other than that, apply perspective all the time to your works.

>>2909481
Break it down into simple shapes, gundams are a bunch of cubes at their most basic element, so start off by making them just really basic cubes. Try drawing the same pose from another point of view as well, as basic cubes. I also find that trying to draw the whole gundam sometimes can be a bit overwhelming, so a lot of the time I just focus on a single part, be it an arm, the head etc.

>>2909491
>tfw used to know a kid who drew gundams
I'm still envious to this day. I really should have just taken it seriously from there on, but decisions. I would have made it by now. Although, all these art classes are probably a sign that the school system just ain't working. Self learning approach in the end.

>>2909483
i've been doing this for the past couple days but its getting really dry. i guess i'll try stacking shit or doing something interesting with the layout

>>2909491
> I just focus on a single part, be it an arm, the head etc
lol i'm retarded, this didn't even cross my mind. thanks for the tips, i'll try these

>>2909496
I know that feel. One of my best friends I met in art school could draw mechs like it was nothing, and I struggled to draw a cube meanwhile. He's an inspiration really.

>>2909497

I just have an alarm set 5 minutes before the deadline.

What do you do all day 23:30 crew?
For me it's usualy either a 12 hour workday or a busy weekend day.

>>2909820
I work full time and start drawing as soon as I get home between 21:30 and 22:00. I just save the topic for the last hour unless it's something I want to spend more time on. After the deadline I'll keep going for a couple of hours if I have the energy and my hands aren't fried.

On Saturdays I draw for about 8 hours and submit everything right before 00:00, and on Sundays I can usually put in 4-6.

>>2909826
do you start your work late, or do you commute a lot? man, getting home so late sounds like nolife

>>2909826
What sort of work do you do?

God how can I explain to my friends I need to dedicate literally all of my hours rn on art since I have such little time, they just say "hur duh dur you'll have plenty of time to improve in art school why worry now" and I try to explain how that mindset is horrible but they think I'm just being a prick :,( maybe I am being a little mean but I just feel guilty whenever I'm not drawing

>>2909862
>friends
not gonna make it

>>2909862

you will still have enough time to socialise

just fucking do it. at one point you have to get over it and question if gitting gud is as much as a priority as you make it out to be

Hman: That concept is fairly Artistic but his meat should be further back on the seat unless you want him looking forward. I enjoy the subtlety with which you captured the bone structure. Overall it proves you're seriously practicing, especially the mechanical training on the left 'n' all.

Agemo: The one that you labelled "not right" is just a little bit correct, but somehow it looks like you connected the foot far past the ankle. The leg looks rather convincing, though; it looks clothed
tripfag: You're noodling triangular faces, I see; you're very great at creating likeness through subtle manipulations. Just that you never erase proves that even when you accommodate mistakes your drawings still have good mechanical structure and you don't get disheartened. Maybe into colour a bit more?
coinhero: I'm glad you allowed two days to complete; the colours here are even better than the colours used in most Atomhawk productions. Amazing depth. The only thing I would watch is pillow-shading and the proper light-source.
Nyra: Well done. I wish I could be as patient as you
Dataism: This must be a fantastic learning excercise; you have some great anticipation and timing in your animation. Maybe for something using these simplistic shapes you should consider some squash and stretch to give it some funk
BadAtAnatomy: You will get good at anatomy
webbeva: Thousands of attempts; many of these work as simplified body structure so long as the proportions are correct. You are doing well at the first stage of the figure drawing process; why not noodle them with boxes next?
Jeremias: C'mon step it up gota go fast. Glorious NEETing, very tight mechanical skills. You said you wanted to go into animation? Why not research rubber-hose style animation; seeing your work I think that might be something you'll learn from. It seems you're on the third Draw-a-box assignment; very patient

FinlayHeathi: What makes you think you're ready for invention? I saw in the beginner thread that your heads were described as "alien"; this is probably because of the cranial mass stretching very far backwards but not very far upwards, which would mean they have an elongated skull. If your end goal is realism: you need more enrichment shapes, not just the planes of the face. You need symbolism broken out of by studying many, many faces. It looks like you get disheartened if you cannot finish one face to a high standard drawn from life; please forget about t and move on. Today: draw 100 faces from life or I'll kill you. You can even draw your best friends

It's not even that. Innocent for example is breddy gud, it looks like they just didn't feel like putting in a lot of time. I think Vadstart and Alm0nde could've done better too if they wanted. They probably just have other priorities .

Such a bother to type this, but I guess I'll make the effort before that other guy comes and talks poop.

Practice drawing forms in perspective, doesn't matter if it's drawabox, scott robertson or just drawing simple objects from life. Do anything that will help you think in 3D and draw -through- stuff. Then try to incorporate that in your figure drawings: put them into boxes and put boxes into them. Not only your characters will feel less flat, but they will look much more aesthetically pleasing with some angles to contrast the curves. You can browse through some books on constructing anatomy to find some angular shapes you could incorporate into your process.
Boxes and stuff should also help you draw environments around figures. Draw a ground plane (the bottom of the box) every time you're drawing a character and make sure they aren't floating when they're not meant to be floating, but also that their limbs aren't going through the floor or whatever.

About painting: you might want to do the ctrl+paint's basic rendering tutorial. You're airbrushing too much, losing control over edges, it's not a good look. Other than that, you just need to copy more photos and paintings. Get better at seeing values, move to color as soon as your values start to roughly match the reference. Robertson's rendering matte surfaces videos have some good basic info. It's possible that you can find the same info in his how to render book, but I've never read it.

This is just based on what I see in your submissions. Feel free to disregard anything. Keep doing your thing and keep trying new things. As long as you're not doing the same stuff over and over again, you will see progress. Eat a vegetable sometimes.

>>2911072
i'm not cath but I try
but these gesture poses I find for practice are body poses people never make irl and weird

>>2911077
Dont blame the ref, there are lassies who draw from those same refs and still do well

Feel the humanity in them, treat them as your god and goddess.
Dont assume, look.
Express their beauty through your brush.
Do the pose yourself to empathize if needed, feel the relationship between the muscle and their position in the pose.
Try to at least read book on figure drawing to realize the important muscles.
Focus more on perspective and gesture rather than anatomy, you don't need to be 100% anatomically correct to make an expressive figure drawing.

Read Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators. For everyday poses, stop using photos, draw from life or from videos and movies. Remember to be very regular and persistent. Don't do long grinding sessions, it's better to sketch a few figures every day for a month than to draw 50 in a single day. Give it some time. Look at other people's drawings for inspiration. Good luck!
