/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Alright here's some advice for the dads that are going to do the frazetta challenge. First things first, yea I got the date wrong and thought you had to do the challenge the day it's made so you can't cheat, funny right.

-This is going to take a long ass time, much more than you think so plan your day accordingly. Don't fuck around with youtube playlist trying to find the best song to listen to and shit like that. Just put some ost on and let autoplay do it's thing.
-Lower your tablet sensitivity! Ideally you want to be using the least amount of pressure to make a line otherwise your hand will hurt really bad a couple of hours in. Or you a brush with no pressure settings.
- Don't get lazy just because you are getting close to the end. All the difficult stuff is after page 150~ and if you start to take it easy you wont be done in time.
- Don't expect to become some sort of art god after finishing this, if it was that easy it wouldn't be fun. That being said different people will benefit in different ways from this challenge. For me it pretty much got rid of my anxiety of drawing people.
- Don't even bother trying to get the hatching the same it would take way to long and burn you out super fast. The goal isn't to make a pretty picture.
- Don't undo, just get it right the first time. Take longer for each stroke if you have to but just keep it because if you get in to the mode of ctrl + z until it looks good you'll never get it done.

In my opinion everyone should give this a go, it might not make you any better at drawing but it will for sure make you realize all the things you suck at and at the very least will teach you some discipline and how to power through an image. Good luck dads
