How would you go about enforcing this?
3. Why?
I'll humor you for now.

He can't really enforce it but it's like threadly etiquette. Obviously you'll have people breaking the rules but you'll also have people who follow them.

Just finished this.
>>3098556
kind of gloomy, try to put some warm colors maybe ?
>>3098530
I like your style.
>>3098561
You want cheerful paintings about contemplating suicide?
>>3098569
ha ha, you are right, this one is better, love it :)
Help me bros, I'm trying to expand my fan base and looking for some internet draw friends, any advice about when and where to post your art would be deeply appreciated.

My tablet just broke down, but I don't care.
My head is always brimming with imagery, I just drew this banana with my mouse.
Don't be too jealous.
>>3098659
I'm super jelly right now. Wish my bananas looked that good.
>>3098659
I see your banana
but I don't know if I feel your banana
>>3098670
You know, it's like, to other people it's just fruit and vegetables and they don't think anything of it, but I guess I just can see more to the things than ordinary people.
In a way, I think, I don't see more, but I see the things as they really are. And by employing my brush I help others to really see things too. It's my gift to humanity.
>>3098676
You know what they say, the best book in the world will be lost on a poor reader.
>>3098676
>>3098686
I see your bananas and im filled with emotion. Potassium is definitely one of the world's most valuable resources. When all the bananas go, I will cry
I'm shit, should I continue or kill myself?
>>3098485
>>3098530
>>3098556
Godly
Here's a thing. I think it's an older version though
>>3099378
Continue man. You've not nothing to lose except the sense of satisfaction from eventually drawing something you're proud of.

Thank you.
Anyone have experience in using sakura koi watercolor set? Im looking to get into watercolor since i want to be a lil open with what i do. I primarily use pen and ink (sometimes brush)
>>3100830
I got one a while ago, how do you fucking color?
I am back to drawing!
still wip
Edgy teen supervillains
>>3098571
This is really nice, love the watercolor.
>>3101117
I dunno I just picked some colors and used the brush tool lol
I just started checking out ctrl. paints videos and the one called "brush control pt. 1" seems like a good start.

amazing

if i want to live up to the name, and don't have my wedding be an anti-climax, i need the best paying job as an artist i can find. And be good enough to handle it. I need a mentor or something, any help is appreciated.

still using the drawings from that "gesture battle" ey nose?
>>3100948
Fuuuuuck I love this one. I want to get this gud with pen and ink.
>>3101366
I like this
>>3101632
Thank You. I used to do a lot more pen and ink work before I got heavily into digital art.
FWIW I did these with a Pentel Hybrid Technica. Great pen.
Did some sketching on the Greyhound yesterday.
>>3101742
>FWIW I did these with a Pentel Hybrid Technica. Great pen.
I've had one before but I can't remember, are those Copic-proof?
>>3101770
Don't know. Haven't used my copics in a while.
I still don't understand how light works and end up rushing hng.
Before you say anything, I know her left leg is fucked up. I've only noticed after I finished inking it.
>>3102020
Same guy. FYI, I'm a traditional artist, just in case it didn't get through to anyone here.
I use this app called CamScanner to try and give my drawings a little more quality than I can with just my phone.
With that out of the way, are there any tips or advice someone can throw my way?
Aftermath of not wanting to do actual work
>>3101742
I like where you are going with these, and they look quite nice in the thumbnails, but I wouldn't spread the rendering lines that evenly, it makes stuff look flat.
>>3101385
I really hate this. Worried about you.
>>3102064
I guess. These are from a while ago by now anyway.
Another painting I just finished.
Is this creepy looking at all?
What would make it creepier?
>>3102697
this is really comfy
>>3102807
Thank you. Perhaps I should crop it to be a wallpaper and submit it to the "comfy" thread on WG...
>>3102405
I love this and love your other one you posted itt. Inspires me
>>3098663
I liked this a lot. have you got any more?
>>3102710
Yes, but it could be improved.
As I told you earlier realism is good for creepy.

We have RULES, for a REASON!
Thread's stultifying. Here's a WIP.
Drew this for /co/
Experimenting with stuff.
>>3098482
Found a fun new sketch tool that sorta behaves like a ball point pen. But now I have absolutely no clue what to do, whether to make what I personally want, or to draw what my followers/brand wants. Ive become addicted to notes and reception, and now Im scared to try and expand my content because if I dont do strictly what my followers followed me for, the picture will be ignored.
Never try and be a "popular" artist, just focus on your own improvement.
fuck the rules!!
>>3102269
female detected
>>3098482
WIP. I got bored and figured I should practice my painting. I rendered a girl in graphite pencil and then laid down a quick first layer of the underpainting. It's real ugly and the values are way off, etc. and I didn't do the mouth at all because the lips will be a bright red so no sense putting green under it. It's just a start and it's gotta spend a little time in the ugly phase before it gets better but when it's finished she'll be a hot babe, blonde hair and blue eyes, fair skin.

>>3098482
Im so bad and its killing me
>>3106753
Fuck off and die
>>3106756
fuck you too?
>>3106758
There is nobody more detestable in this life than people going "Waaa I'm so shit at this thing I'm much better at than most people I want ATTENTION as WELL as talent"
So yea, fuck me too because I'm a dick, but you fuck off and die.
>>3106760
Or maybe you're just being a faggot retard.
compare pic related to my picture and tell me im good.
I'm not complete shit, but anyone on this board should be able to reach where im at with the resources in the sticky
just because im better than deviant art tier shitters doesnt mean im good, its isnt hard to get to where i am it just takes mileage
>>3106764
And this is why. You don't actually give a fuck what anyone says, you have a full fucking ego trip rant ready.
You are a swooning pretentious fuck and you will forever be loathed for a talent that should bring happiness to others if you don't put as much work into your personality as you do into your talent or angst.
>>3106767
that's a lot of projection bud
>>3106769
That's not what projection means bud. Unless you're implying you can project talent. In which case thank you I guess?
>>3106771
It is, actually. You are projecting.
I complained that Im not as good as i want to be and for this you called me a swooning pretentious fuck that has a shit personality that should fuck off and die.
I didnt have any "ego trip rant" ready, you're just spazzing out and looking for someone to bully online.
.
seems to me like you're the one with the shit personality.
>>3106773
That's literally not what projecting is. How could I have a personality fault based on a pet peeve I have for a talent I don't? If I hated people like that and was one I would just not bitch about it.
Protip: You can't be projecting if you're bitching about a thing that the other person is doing
Of course it seems to you I have a shit personality, I'm being a cunt to you because I fucking hate people like you. But then you're throwing around phrases like "bully online" so you're just making yourself even more transparent.
>>3106777
>You can't be projecting if you're bitching about a thing that the other person is doing
okay you're actually dumb.
You are projecting your insecurities and anger onto me since i said a relatively tame thing and you made a bunch of wild assumptions about the kind of person that i am despite knowing almost literally nothing about me.
>>3106777
way to shit up the thread, by the way
>>3106785
"Projecting your anger" is just retard for "Being mean to me"
How can I be projecting an insecurity when I'm being a dick to you OVER YOURS.
I've made one assumption, based on your "Waa I'm so shit" comment. That you're the exact same whiney fuck as every other person that does that. Then you proved me right.
>>3106789
Says the anon who posted art they think is shit whilst bitching about it but is still pathetically defensive about complete strangers opinions
>>3106791
>i'm going to fight with anyone about anything because I missed my nap!
>i am angry!
who cares, maybe if you spent more time learning to draw instead of throwing fits online then you wouldnt feel so shitty about yourself.
>>3106793
I did and then anon just started flipping out
>>3106753
What is that grain texture on top? It makes it look like a marker sketch.
>>3098482
I've been drawing some simple doodles.
1/3
>>3106802
which part? i just use KNKLs textured brushes
reminder to post your art with every post
finished piece
actually forgot I had this for awhile
>>3106807
On the face and hair, basically anywhere except the background and shoulders. It kind of looks like noise filter, not like a texture brush, because it's so even, over the flat colors too.
Sorry, forgot about the OP.
>>3098482
Not serious, just a doodle.
>>3106841
its a light noise filter
This ok for a comic?
>>3107203
I was going to give you feedback but you keep fucking spamming this everywhere
it's shit you retard. do you have eyes
>>3107213
Sorry for spamming, i'm just trying to figure out how to improve it. Roast the fuck out of it if you have time, everyone else just says it's shit.
>>3099380
Interesting. More?
>>3107203
I don't like the textures you use to color but it can work as a comic as long as the rest tells the story well. If you wanna do a comic do some pages now.
Painting is hard
>>3101395
underrated thicc
Hows this looking so far?
I just want to warn you I have no idea, literally no Idea of what I am doing, I don't even get offended when people say i draw like shit because it is true, is just that nobody ever tells me how it SHOULD look, so.
I just learned to cope with the fact that I dont know how to draw.
Not sure it can be called "work" or even "drawing" more than "doodling". Kind of need tips on how to improve. (The sticky has helped and I'm sure will continue to.)
Gonna dump some random crap doodles to get tips.
>>3108115
Crap Rayquaza
>>3108117
Slightly less crap Rayquaza.
The shading was a brief attempt, already wiped some of it to start over.
>>3108119
Why are you drawing on lined paper you fucking scumbag. Jesus Christ.
>>3108167
I'm sorry did you see the drawing? Does this look like high class art to you? Or does it look like a random piece of paper and pencil that happened to be nearby?
The first one is a green ballpoint pen for fuck sake.
I'm dumb
>>3107203
It looks nice as a thumbnail.
>>3108215
I immediately notice the shine on her lip. You've put too much of an outline on it. Other than that burdy gud.
Made using marker, feel I may of overdone the colors. :0
>>3108309
That's like so trippy maaaaaaaaaan. *rips boong*
>>3099072
I like this one, reminds me a lot of Jamie Hewlett
i tried
had fun drawing this...
>>3108241
lol in the thumbnail I thought it was a painting of the solar eclipse

>>3109553
Here's the same pic but flipped. These are WIPs btw.
>>3109532
does it seem like fucking for you?
>>3098482
how do i make this better
>>3110204
Color the line art with the same color of the surface, just slightly darker or the same as the shadows. This way it will look better and polish.
buncha trash and a buff cat
>>3110522
huh!
>>3104540
FINALLY finished this. Would have been done last night but I was busy stuffing Japanese steak into my face.
>>3106889

Love this kinda art: dark lonely atmospheres. More?
>>3111207
Of this kind of thing specifically? Not so much, but I post my work here:
http://theshutteredcity.tumblr.com/
Thanks!
>>3101324
any chance he is inspired by pic related ?
btw have a shitty wallpaper I made today /ic/
>>3108172
so what take this serious man, draw on copy paper, its cheap and looks nicer.
>>3111323
This is cool. Blog?
I'm really trying to improve my linework and coloring
it seems decent in my opinion but always contrasts with the backgrounds when I feel like drawing them
Drew the good blue boy since my console-less ass can't play Mania yet
>>3111337
No blog.
>>3111321
Gurren Lagann was a good time.
>>3111341
practice creating appealing color schemes and use longer strokes when you do your lines
>>3111226
Here's something I just started.
>>3111394
cute
>>3106753
focus on improving and not complaining. even if you mean well it plays off as the artistic equivalent of begging for likes on facebook
i recently started painting with photoshop, did this today in about an hour any advice or tips on painting in PS would be very appreciated
Trying to learn how to draw decent backgrounds.
>>3111394
I love this
>>3112951
>>3098591
>has a furry girl and a fishboy in his doodles
>>3112953
right eye isnt in perspective. also the armpit on the left side, the arm skin should be in front not behind. other than that decent
>>3108037
the anatomy is fine and the linework is nice, but the cartoony style and shading slips into the uncanny valley.
pic related is my shitty art and character design
>>3098556
There are bits of this that look kind of amateur. My guess is that you didn't have a good reference for the figures but copied most of the background from a photograph. That's one of the reasons I don't like references.
However, I am for some reason really drawn to this. I love it. The dimension on the brdige is great, and despite what the other anon said I really don't think you should have warm colors. The figure's haveing some warm on the is enough. The cool tones really set the mood.
>>3102697
>>3098556
Who are you anon? Blag? I'm not jelly I just genuinley enjoy your work. Like I said its a little amateur-y but super pleasing to me. I think its kind of nostalgic in a way.
>>3101390
This looks awesome so far as an idea, but I'd like to see you render these forms more or clean it up some. It just takes tightening things up.
>>3106764
Stop being a whiny baby and tell me who painted this. Its so beautiful. This is one of the most well rendered things I've ever seen doen ditally. I absolutely love the mark making and how it wraps around all the forms and light rays.
>>3112645
Cute style, reminds me of Steven Universe of course. The left side of the composition is very empty. Is it meant to be for the 'concept'? If not I'd definitley crop it or put something on the tv or switch the tv out.
>>3112951

Why the fuck is everyone posting here now???
Are you all newfags or something? The draw thread is suffering.
I'm doing a study on moths and I want them to look more delicate (?) If that makes any sense. How would I go about doing that?

Glad you like it though.

Take your pick.
And here's something I'm abandoning. I should have picked a stronger pose and it would have kept my interest, but hey I learned something so, eh.
hey lads
my mom is a costume designer for theatric plays and so she has literally thousands of drawings from the past couple of decades that are just basically collecting dust
now, I want to make use of them somehow, but besides phoning up galleries and asking if they would display them, I am totally clueless what I should do to make some money out of this - should I start an instagram/tumbl/deviantart account and advertise her talent and style that way?
here's one of her latest designs for reference
>>3113456
Its very hard to make money from drawings generally
>>3112953
Are you sure ? Her arm is not directly on the side of her, is rotating a little behind her back
>>3113187
>Why the fuck is everyone posting here now???
You have to put your work here before giving a hard critic, so the faggots who give meaningless hard critics to vent their own frustrations are a lot less common here
I've posted this before like a week ago but in a different thread.
>>3113352
Another character sketch.
anyone else has the inability to finish anything you start?

Bullshit, there's no incentive to follow the post work rule and no one enforcing it. Any asshole can still come and talk shit without posting work.

I, er ok. I'm not sure how it's funny but I'm happy to make you laugh.

Treat yourself not only as an artist but also as a brand, it depends on what your target audience is but generally tumblr for fun and art station if you're looking for work.
>>3108037
Get a goal in mind of what you want it to look like, say an artist and follow that goal. Make sure you stick with more than one else you'll just become a watered down version.

what yall think? i might make some adjustments in the arms, just need to find the right references
>>3115408
it good
I'm not sure about the mouth and maybe the nose
How do you know how to draw a stylized anime nose in weird angles ?
this was a simple rotoscope i did a few months ago after seeing aku no hana. it was the first time i tried rotoscoping so i'd like to know what you guys think. bonus points if you can guess where this is from.
just fuck my shit up please
(the biggest issue im now aware of is my abuse of forced contrast and making too much stuff white for "brightness")
>>3115679
this is brilliant
Dug up an old painting from last year that I never finished. Seeing if I can make something out of it. WIP.
Been about a year since I started wanting to draw again, maybe half a year of actual progress. I gotta keep going otherwise I'll be stuck at this point.
what do you think?
>>3115570
yay i was afraid no one was gonna reply
>>3115715
Not sure where you rotoscoped that from but I just wanted to say Aku no Hana is my shit
>>3116323
nearly zero understanding of literally everything
the colors
the lineart
the perspective
everything about it it's just a huge waste of time, resources and everything
and who's this willy wonka supposed to be? your self projection?
he looks like he can travel through time, in the other hand it looks like you like to waste time
Well... I did this quick sketch of a character I love drawing.

comments on the feet?
>>3101383
Her form is well done and satisfying to look at
Constructive criticisms plz! Also does /ic/ still do tower girls or did I miss out on that? I ask because this was supposed to be a rendition of the golem princess except with concrete and rebar.
>>3118589
Sorry forgot phone posting fucks with the image.
>>3118392
I really like this, the only thing is I feel the clothing wraps around her right breast oddly rather than just resting on it like her left side. Do you make leads?
>>3115309
You're simetry is off on her face, friend. Specifically her eyes. The rest looks good tho. Keep practicing!
>>3107203
Is there a style you're going for or is it a custom? I must say I am not at all a fan of the face but I need context. The body and scenery look alright though. What kind of comic will you make?
>>3118593
uhhh
like literally traditional lead ? in a pencil ?
or some newfangled millenial term ? to lead someone ? ??????
i just use colored pencils, box cutter, chalk, card stock, sharpie, mechanical pencil
Bit of a different style than my usual, more cartoony.
>>3118682
Shit, I ment lewds. Sorry, phone posting and I got autocorrected.
>>3118711
did you just literally post your strawman in all caps greentext so you could attack it? lol, how many levels of succ are you on now?
>>3118712
quick, make a post about it and see how many notes you get.
>>3118716
what are notes?

>>3106753
N-NANI?
>>3116323
Don't listen to what the other anon said. A lot of it doesn't apply to what you're drawing right now/current level.
Beginners like you should try to challenge yourselves with more complicated poses, and try avoid hiding the hands---'cause that's the first sign that you're a beginner. I feel that you are trying to make a showy character, in that case go for a more showy pose. Perspective/foreshortening is not necessary, but it can enhance your work. Going for a full body pic would work better too as for the composition. One at a time.

I like the composition and gamut map (perhaps you used a ref for this?), though the way you rendered it isn't very pleasant to the eyes. (Too much evidence of dodge tool) Might I suggest How to Render by Robertson?
With landscape framing such as this however, if your figures are this small don't make them "pop" too much. A darker background in contrast to a lighter foreground will be more pleasing to the eyes. Next time, finish a grayscale value composition of your picture before adding in the colours might be a better idea!

Thank you so much.
There were no references, but surprisingly the gamut map and composition were the things I was aiming for the most, so I'm glad that intent got across. (mirrors edge-esque white with certain highlights, in this case primarily orange)
Is there very much shared information between How to Render and Color and Light? I'm kind of low on money, so I'll just religiously reread through the latter again if it contains similar information.
Thank you again, I'll take all of these into account from now on.

There are some shared information, but the books are very different. Gurney's book (general tips) is easier to digest compared to Robertson's (used for some specific instances on which you will need to check the page now and then) IMO.
Robertson's book is not necessary, but will do well in your case as you render geometrical objects a lot... And that's pretty much his area of specialty. The book is a chore to go through though. You might want to check the art book thread!
If you focus more on Outdoor/nature/street painting then Gurney is good enough. Science fiction stuffs and original composition is Robertson's forte (granted, some info might not be useful but some will and they WILL help you).

Thank you, I'll definitely look into it then.
Mostly into porn but I recently discovered I had an itch to learn more cinematic/concept sort of art.
what is a wip?

"pls commission me"
"whats your blog?"
"sorry im not good enough to post it..."

>agree to draw something for someone for free
>don't feel like doing it anymore
>too embarrassed to say no
>delete fucking everything, disappear and start posting under a new alias months later
how do I improve this?
I need a bit of help with coloring in these steampunk characters, specifically with what base colors would look well together on each of these characters.
Any help is appreciated.

The shading is to soft and the anatomy is terrible, Make shading more clear, follow the eye's reflection and fix that nose, it makes no sense that the nose is straight up front while the rest of the face is moving upwards.
Left hand is also fucked up which is strange since right one is passable.

Over all, solid anatomy but practice your tablet drawing skills blend shadows more, the lighting seems correct is the execution that is very rough use more contrast, reduce chicken scratches.
