>this kills the artist
>>6127701>doesnt know about the forearmsomeday, little beg, you may understand true suffering
>>6127706nobody cares if you can't draw every flexor, simple assymetry is fine.people will definitely shit on you for not drawing hands good.
>>6127701I'm doing a 200 hands challenge in 1 week, 3 days in, I'm at 90 hands, I can do 120 today. Wish me, luck boys.
>>6127701AI cant draw hands either, i think you are good
>>6127701Meh. You have a live nude model at your literal fingertips. You just have to learn to draw gestures.Here are some tips that should help give you a clue on how to get a clue.
Each anon can add part of the plot one image at a time, maybe with some brief line of text in the post
>>6127690ai can't do that
Our hero hears "AI can't do that" and ponder what to do.

>>6127687Really like your shapes, especially that smoke, reminds me of my character's curls that I've been trying to draw in a fun way lately. Any advice on how to be this loose and still make it look stylish?Your colors are a bit noncommital, I'd either go with... wait a second.
>>6127761The main problem is it's hard to see, so either increase contrast, limit palette or make it so colors clash out way harder in order to increase readability.Here are some extreme examples.
Good to see a new thread up, just an update on something I'm working on.
>>6127769toning down brightness and contrast in the bg and going full sticker mode on the bottom ones
Im having a really hard time transitioning into digital drawing.I've been trying it for a couple weeks now but I cant even draw basic shapes or volumes without them looking absolutely retarded.Im using a screenless tablet and it is absolutely not intuitive at all.I refuse to blame the tool since I know for a fact a lot of great digital art has been done with screenless tablets, but I cant seem to get the hang of it.What are some exercises that I could make to try and get used to this new medium? Im getting pretty frustrated, I feel as if I somehow had to learn to draw from the absolute beginning.Or maybe I should give up and get a screen tablet?
unironically try dexterity exercises like in Vilppu's drawing manual or Arthur Guptill's inking book
Draw this in your style
>>6127616booba...
>>6127616I tried
>>6127616if she put boobah on other side of string would be better
>>6127616Is this what you were thinking?
any more songs which name check visual artists such as these?https://youtu.be/Cdv2buP0iskhttps://youtu.be/k43XjuhInkU
>do hundreds of hours of autistic perspective and anatomy exercises>still can't draw an anime face that looks three-dimensional
>>6127741they're the only people besides companies who pay for art, they matter the most.
>>6127553ThisAlso I noticed westerners tend to take commissions at a 1:10 rate to Japanese, leading to burnout much quicker.
>>6127808a dumb esl question>1:10 rate to Japanesedoes this mean less than Japanese people?
>>6127812Yes. I think he means that westerners demand one-tenth the amount that Japs do
>>6127553Westoids are like this for everything. Ask /lit/ how to learn French and they'll tell you to first become fluent in Latin and Ancient Greek
Its about modern war.

thanks for reading
really enjoyed it,your message is on point.has that just-right blend of creeping gritty suspiciously too real irony that makes you shiver in a good way when you find a comic done just right. like a watchmen feeling. happy to read, great stuff op.thanks for the share.
>>6127584>has that just-right blend of creeping gritty suspiciously too real irony that makes you shiver in a good way when you find a comic done just right. like a watchmen feeling.happy to read this thx anon
>read keys to drawing because /ic/ shills it so hard>one of the first exercises is to find a mirror and draw your own eyes>"see how much better your drawing will look when you copy what you see?!">literally looks like the same shit as every other time i try to draw eyes without reference>mfw
>>6127469Yeah retard you're a beginner. And if your eyes look the same with reference and without (which I'm assuming is shit) you need to learn to observe better, which is what the book is gonna try to teach you if you actually make it past the first chapter somehow.
>>6127469You're at a beginner level so it's not going to look great. It's the same for anyone doing this for the first time. The book teaches you how to deal with this but you're still going to have to practice and maybe re-do the exercises multiple times to really get it down.Basically the usual when it comes to learning how to draw.
>>6127566making drawing your own eyes one of the very first exercises is stupid, and not something an absolute beginner who can't draw simple shapes properly should do
>>6127709The book implies it's meant to look significantly better after just one attempt at observational drawing. I'm not getting any eureka moments; I'm still not exactly sure where to start, how to frame it, what should be a line and what shouldn't
>>6127710>not something an absolute beginner who can't draw simple shapes properly should doThen the only thing to do is work on them together. Work on your simple shapes for one portion of time and then study the book for another.
Post the specs of whatever laptop/desktop you use to make art. Pic related is my laptop.

What do about AI niggers? Pic related is my painting altered by Skynet.
its not fair ic brehs and sists
this ai is worse than illustrat tbqh
Did pollock practice fundies? Did he draw boxes
do art movements and styles get worse and worse as years go on?
Did Rembrandt practice fundies? Who could he paint heads when Loomis didn't even exist back then????
>>6127332loomis didnt invent fundies
>>6127316>He just takes in cashhe died 66 years ago
>>6127359Good
whats it like being an artist with photographic memory
photographic memory doesn't exist
Find out for yourself, practice remembering a picture you look at.
What do you think of this book?
Bump. Need ppl's opinions too.
terrible
Good book, i was setting it off when i was a beg for then im gonna be needing thinking about composition and forgot about it. 5 years later i read it in one sitting. Very short, nothing groundbreaking, just fundamentals of composition, really should be reading it when i was starting, learned almost nothing but it's great for complete beg.
>>6127261Depends, it's great if you actually apply the things you read in the book to your own work, but it's a waste of time if you just read it
u could probably get the same thing from copying movie shots and angles
these courses cost $399 and their students work looks like this
>>6127222what exactly was it?
>>6127541Your typical western how to draw anime cash grab.
>An Ethan Becker collaborationthat explains this thread
>>6127541This >>6127545It was advertised like crazy and I fell for the bait. I believe I caught on to how bad it was and got a refund for it.
>>6127208scrolling through the site the average art looks around the point where post artists is just comfortable with their style and remain for the rest of their lives. pic related is the only dude that's GMI.
Right now i can only do some 30 dollar coom commission tier shit. My peak will probably look like the average drawing on Pinterest How did those grand master made those Epic illustration without all this pirated shit i have. Is there any for a low IQ artist like myself

is sai a dead program? its the only program i've ever used and as far as i can tell it does everything csp/ps/procreate does for the most part, but i never see anyone talk about it anymore.
sai has been old news for a decade OP
>>6127122>is sai a dead program?Yes> its the only program i've ever usedNot my problem > and as far as i can tell it does everything csp/ps/procreate does for the most part, but i never see anyone talk about it anymore.Not really, but use whatever you want. I see no point in using a dead program when you can pirate better software so easily
some artists I follow still use it for line drawings cuz it's fast
i use sai 2, csp has many buttons. Except for some features like text or liquify or Photoshop effects, sai 2 has everything I need.
>>6127122>sai a dead programsai is mostly for potato turd world pcs and old laptops that can't handle any other program

>>6127114>He wastes his short existence paralyzed by the options instead of settling on one and going through with it no matter whatYou are going to have to learn through pain, that there is no avoiding suffering, there's only choosing your own poison and finding meaning on it
>>6127022I currently work as a 1st level supporter and use the time between the calls (5-25min) for drawing/paintingI also don't give a shit about work quality and accountability, so I leave all the email work and returning tickets to my colleagues, therefore I have even more time for art.
