Not only is there already a brush thread, you haven't even mentioned what your program is, and literally, just go google and try out a few lineart brushes or even try editing the defaults, I guarantee you'll find a workable one very fast.

you're not fooling anyone, were you really thinking you could? oh wait, you just wanted to start a bait thread because this board is amongst the slowest and jannies are in a coma.

>>6678550
I feel the same
not shiting on the advice those guys gave you but I've tried many things and nothing works
I can draw some cool shit with pen and paper but everytime I use my screnless tablet I have rely on color, good composition and tons of effects and corrections because the line art is going to suck

>>6678550
I worked on a screenless tablet for about 5 years and I've been working on a screen tablet for about 3 years now.
It's the same. There's almost no difference in my approach the line art, nor the quality of it. I guess I can do longer strokes now, but that was always a skill issue rather than a problem with the tool. The grass really isn't any greener.

>>6678569
I will ignore this advice and continue to zoom until I see pixels and tweak lines to my satisfaction.

>>6678550
I use Intuos 3. Yea drawing lineart was very very hard when I was starting out. But it got easier, still annoying but hey.

no I refuse to draw on anything that isn't Paint Tool © SAI 2 ™ SYSTEMAX Inc. ®

That was the beginning of a big realization that adults were retards and total fucking trash.

kek very nice

>>6678362
???? That sounds like a genuinely nice thing to do. You sound paranoid bro

>>6678814
Wasn't that era the literal height of Pokémon panic among evangelicals? That it was brainwashing kids with evolution? That probably added an extra element of retarded bitch rage. I remember my parents saying I shouldn't watch it (did anyway) but one day they just forgot about it. Anyway that also was around the time I first realized being an adult doesn't make someone smart.

>>6678814
The kid was probably even more embarrassed than you.

I miss moderndayjames so god damn much bros. Why did he devolve into shit tier animation? His tutorials were god tier.

https://www.youtube.com/@Tim-Mcburnie The best art youtube channel on youtube right now.

>>6678210
I still watch the same couple of guys from years ago. On the asian jeans side of things there have been a couple of helpful channels, some animators, teachers, illustrators. There's this recent trend of breaking down art styles of other artists after this one channel took off and there's now four or so that popped up rapidly with varying quality.

>>6678703
I like the dude, but goddamn, 1 hour videos? If I wanted a podcast, I have better options, if I wanted a long class, I have better options too.

>>6678210
Some of my favorites. Most aren't updated very often (or at all anymore) but there are older videos to watch if you haven't before.
I'm also posting mostly timelapse channels because at this point, after learning fundamentals, I find those to be more useful than the typical advice videos. The key is to take notes about the video while you watch. Don't just be a static viewer, you don't learn that way. Slow down the video. What do you notice about their process? How can you apply it to your work? Then it's most helpful to do a focused study while keeping your notes nearby and making sure you apply what you've learned.

Bargue plates. Be very slow, cautious and precise at first. Not a great way to draw, but a great way to learn.

>>6678005

Dont be anjery. Some people are just dumb just smile and wave

How do you even dress up your characters? Like what is the process?
I can draw a naked character, but I have no idea how to proceed.

>>6678767
First, when you're both naked you try gently to get physical contact

I would recommend doing it on your own there's usually a video course general on this board but I guess the anon that keeps it up is out or something.
There's also the /ic/ torrent >>>/t/1069595
There is also the artbook general >>6675797
Personally I like Hampton as a starting point because that's what I did but the truth is after years you'll pick up bits and pieces here and there so if don't sweat it if you're not a pro after one course.
If art is your passion you should pursue that imo, but that choice is yours to make.
What I would reccomend is going to figure drawing classes as a supplementary of you doing stuff on your own, if they teach you well ofc which you''ll be able to pulse when you do courses beside it and can get something from different teachers
Your stuff looks nice btw

>>6678888
Profession first (sorry, capitalism sucks) then branch out. At least with a professional degree you can use it as a fall back plan.

Join arts clubs/organizations while working on your degree and work on/improve your portfolio, while keeping informed of any other artistic opportunities/careers that might open up (networking, newsletters, LinkedIn (unfortunately), etc.).

It might be a bit late in the game, but do you have an interest in architecture? From what I'v heard it's very competitive and labour intensive (not to say that engineering/comp sci is any easier), but it does definitely incorporate a more aesthetic/art-centric element.

Also, I think it's really impressive when STEM-cels incorporate whatever artistic skills they have into the designs they come up with (See: Da Vinci, Vitruvius, the guy who built the Parthenon, etc.)). An engineer with an aesthetic eye is rare... to say the least.

hello guys can i b ur friend

>>6678952
i do think architecture is very cool! mostly in an autistic identifying different types of roofing way but i havent considered it as a creer before. i dont think its too late to check it out since im going to community college + gap year so i basically have 3 years to figure out my career direction. thank you for your advice i will think on this!

>>6678948
thank you! from what i can tell theres a lot of very good courses online especially on this board. maybe i will get my degree in something higher-paying and self-study art as i go

This is the one.

when you start gaining followers many of them will also see your previous tweets
>>6678556
ok but that's a different topic. And with only 35 views the algorithm is going to ignore you anyways. I don't know what system is better but there aren't very different when you are a newbie
>Here's this pic I made,I know you can see the pic here, but please please also click and see it again on twitter
???? if you see a picture in your timeline that already count as a view. Cliking on it count as an interaction. Don't know how that affects the algorithm but it's a different thing

>>6678571
I think he means you can embed a youtube video somewhere and have people watch it, but you can’t embed twitter posts (you can, but it’s shit), so you’d post just the image, which doesn’t boost your twitter

go to skeb and commission an actual animator, retard. if you hire westerners you'll get western shit.

>>6677618
Yeah, an AI thread would be better. Don't you agree, aisister?

the only things that should be fixed i think is the pupil on the right, seems a bit misaligned with the left
and the fist on the right can be moved down, looks a bit awkward from where the arm is pointing
left arm is fine but you can try a more dynamic pose
amazing chun anon!

what is she looking at

>>6677609
>>6677914
I don't even know if I have the skill to be redlining you, but i like to crab so here I am.

I think the position of the arms could be more clear, especially her right arm. Disney animators have this concept of "straight vs curves" and I applied the same thing to the right arm. The bottom side is flatter, while the shoulder and forearm muscles form a wavy curve on top, and I think it makes the shape read better. Overall, I think her arms a teeny bit small too. Otherwise, really great job

>>6677584
>(shonen fanart).
So look up some shonen artwork that involves some action and see how they portray movement. Why would you use squash and stretch? That's a very western thing, even animation wise the japs don't tend to use it.

>>6677584
Try a sequence of faded blue(or any color I suppose) after images.

>>6678717
pic rel is what I mean

>>6677584
I remembered something of Saito's I watched recently where he used this 'sonic boom' kind of effect around the character and streaking those to make 'speedlines'.
https://youtu.be/yJvje1RZ4fI

But a trail of some sort (can be anything: light / suggestion of wind) or clouds of dust being kicked up if they're on the ground could work too. Look at some fighting game effects for ideas. I don't know about the squash and stretch that's not pretty typical of anime, but deformation is fine I think if it's a crazy angle. Good luck OP.

>>6677584
Just smear the paint in a certain direction instead of drawing lines stupid

>2002
mostly trad and they touched it up in photoshop, tablets sucked too much back then to do the entire picture with them

>>6677531
this, digital only got usable 2008-2010, there just wasn’t enough pressure sensitivity for manga before

What a lot of artists back then did was draw in pencil, scan it in then paint in photoshop which likely is what was done here, the painting of this looks very digital to me but not so much the lines.
