/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

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

>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email lava@lavaflake.com.

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?

>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.

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

>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.

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.

this is a list of anons who regularly stream, this list will be updated as we move forward, if you wish to be included please post you name/stream profile.

Neat , thanks

>tfw in 66 club

Wish we could tribunal the OP picture choices tbqhfam.

>>2444390
Yeah, that gif is from a show called Life on Mars, was on like 10 years ago now. It was pretty good, dude is in a coma but also sent back in time or something to the 70s and needs to do detective work to try and wake up and be in the present world again. Would recommend. But the best catchphrase from the series and the next one, which was called Ashes to Ashes, is the phrase "fire up the quattro".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5ceykLZDKA

Pretty much their "to the Batmobile" I guess. Since you were using a gif from such an old show I thought you might be a /tv/ lurker or something, shame you didn't get the ref.

>>2444924

If I submit today I'll lose my 66 club memer status. What should I do?

Oh shit, that's a good idea for nocturnal. Yeah, do an owl.

>>2444996

A barn owl with a headband with fake head tufts, with the caption

Trying to increase the amount of concentration I have using this http://www.counselling.cam.ac.uk/selfhelp/leaflets/concentration

That feel when I can only concentrate for 4 hours and I start to wonder.

I suppose at least I can manage 1 hour and more a day now and it became a habit. Its an improvement I guess.

Maybe I can download a program that limits the amount of time I can browser certain websites.

>>2445501
All you need to do is tick the box that says "Topic" when you submit.
??

>>2445501
what are you doing exactly, anon?

you are auto entered into the current week's LAS challenge once you submit your link (uploaded to a separate image host, tumblr/imgur/etc)
only tick the topic box if you want to be in the topic challenge.

>>2445509
Oh, I was trying to upload directly to the site, uploading to imgur helped, thanks

Anyone else get a warm fuzzy kind of feeling when you see anons submit studies of references you recognize from /ic/?

>>2445540
Yeah. When you see things from LAS posted in drawthreads for critique, too.

Since I'm just drawing with pen/pencil/copics at the moment, it would be just a webcam of my desk with music going, and I'm not sure if that is something people would actually watch, since everything is digital.

Is there a chronological list somewhere of all the topic challenges LAS has done?

>want to draw
>find chinese cartoon that' so good you can't stop
at least it's only ten episodes long..

For the people who draw for more than 1+ hour, how do you find the time? My full time job doesn't really leave me with a lot of spare time, I can usually fit in an hour or so everday, but I am starting to feel guilty about it.

>>2445258

boku dake ga inai machi
https://kissanime.to/Anime/Boku-dake-ga-Inai-Machi

Struggling manga author Satoru Fujinuma is beset by his fear to express himself. However, he has a supernatural ability of being forced to prevent deaths and catastrophes by being sent back in time before the incident occurred, repeating time until the accident is prevented. One day, he gets involved in an accident that has him framed as a murderer. Desperate to save the victim, he sends himself back in time only to find himself as a grade-schooler one month before fellow classmate Kayo Hinazuki went missing. Satoru now embarks on a new quest: to save Kayo and solve the mystery behind her disappearance.

Turns out it's from the current season, so there should be two to three more episodes coming out.

>>2445941
>Laying on the floor wishing you would die
change that with "thinking about what could've been done different" and you've got me. I actually find it calming to sometimes just lay around and think, though.

>>2445948

Yeah, that's a good one.

>Laying on the floor wishing you would die

imgur often redirects direct image links to their page so they can get that ad money. theyve been doing it for a while

>>2446217
Does this help portray your anguish

>>2446217
>>2446219
This. Also it makes sense to link to the tumblr /image/ page rather than the /post/ or direct to image so that if the viewer has a tumblr account then they can follow you for more stuff.

>>2446217
I always post the direct link to the image, but sometimes it still goes to the webpage anyway and I don't know why.

Online as well on the thing. /dotesq

>>2446217
I link to the imgur page because I upload more than one image.

>>2446217
why does that bother you?

Who else learning to draw just to make /dankmemes/?

>>2446217
Normally I prefer a direct link, but linking to the page is good when they uploaded a long time ago. Makes it easy to catch cheaters.

>>2446217
I always put the direct link but half the time it just links to the page if you click the gallery thumbnail.

You are tiptoeing the line for what constitutes 30 minutes, Fibinochi. Not that that's anything new.

I'm tempted to let you off the hook because I do know that perspective drawings with a ruler can take a really long time if you're anal about precision.

Going to take a break from this to focus on zbrush sculpting. Going to replace drawing everyday with sculpting everyday in zbrush.

I'm still in the police academy. I'm graduating soon, though.

Why are 3d models not allowed here again? It really makes no sense.

>>2446226
>>2446251
I always link to the direct image but sometimes something changes and it takes you to the full page after I submit. I assumed it was the LAS website deleting the .jpg in the url but I guess it's what this guy said >>2446219

Learn something every day.

>>2445005
what the fuck this gif holy shit creepy as fuck

>>2446269
I need to do the same, haven't sculpted anything since LAS started. It's really damaged my progress but I wouldn't have enough motivation to work every day if I wasn't in this thing. Shame drawing in 3d isn't allowed here for some reason.

It seems like a lot of people here do 3D models/sculpting. Wasn't part of the argument against it that we wouldn't be able to adequately judge if it took 30 minutes? Should we reconsider what's allowed?

>>2446303
>>2446346
I voted against it because I misunderstood the process. It's more like painting than I originally thought.

I'm shredded to peaces that grach isn't in the challenge anymore.
think about calling it quits myself

>>2446329
Neither are studies or figure drawing but that's all anyone here ever does.

>>2446359
There's still a lot of good people. Don't quit because others are quitting.

>>2446367
>that's all anyone here ever does.
Are you the same anon that was bitching about studies earlier? The majority of submissions are studies, but that doesn't mean there's not plenty of original stuff too.

>>2446368
he was good cause he was on the border of being pro tier good. but he also had a lot of bad days where he did crappy studies and you could learn so much from them. I think I have a collection of the studies he did and they've helped me a lot.
other good guys are just good all the time, and are afraid to go out their comfort zone one bit.

>>2446367
They work towards artistic expression. 3D has that too, kinda, but not really.

>>2446367
in 3d its too easy to work of somebody elses mesh, Id be more impressed with basic fundamental box modelling, alot of Zbrush artists cant draw for shit.

>not being an outlaw and ignoring the rules

There are no laws without the tribunal

>>2446409
Unless it's you've taken a job, why would you go out of your way to draw something you're not exactly interested in?

>artistic death, skill wise
What do you mean by this? Your skill level will start dropping?

>>2446433
just upload old work m8 those old snots at the tribunal will never catch you if you play it smart yeh ;))

are any of the guys in LAS already pro? There's 1 or 2 people that I think are at a really high level.

>>2446439
>A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there

I imagine that's what they meant. It's important to have comfy days sometimes though, otherwise you forget what you even like about drawing, and the fatigue catches up.

>>2446444
Depends what you mean by pro. More than half the people here could probably do shitty commissions.

>>2446439
I'm not saying doing something you're not interested in. Heck, I'm not even saying you shouldn't draw one thing/theme your whole life, a lot of masters have a few things going through their whole life work.

I'm talking more about "searching" for yourself in your drawings, you know, when you try to make it more than just an illustration. maybe start experimenting with color, or start drawing baby feet, or if you suck at something like exp landscapes you should pick up and do a bit of that.

I don't know, that's how I see this whole thing, be you amateur or someone with greater aspiration, you have to fight it out with yourself.

>2 minutes
ahh, gotta love the smell of panic in the air

>people who upload their submissions on dropbox

>all these deaths but not a single week 1 died or lost a token
zzzzzz come on loomis why you picking off all these small fries?

>>2446375
>3d has that too
Which is why it belongs here. Sculpting is probably one of the best activities you can do to truly understand 3d form but I doubt most people here care. They just want to jerk it to Mullins and Ruan Jia and other "real" artists.

that's looking really sexy now echo

The repeat topics have returned, we had a good run. Working on the tribunal all night to get it ready. Hopefully it'll be ready tonight. If not then it will be for tomorrow.

>>2446455

This. I recently spent a few days doing studies outside of my comfort zone, then decided to spend a day drawing something from imagination that was mostly within my comfort zone. It was fun and I was actually satisfied with how it turned out, so it's all good. You should stretch your comfort zone, but you don't need to fully reject it.

>>2446488
Plenty of other things bulge. Study fabric stretched over an object, draw a balloon that's about to burst, a bud that's about to open and has the new leaves/petals bulging out, etc. But I voted bulge because I want lewd stuff, so I hope you guys don't get too creative.

Dear Lava,

Please ban the furry porn.

Sincerely,
A Concerned Parent

ill draw my dick bulging out of you're mom's stomach

>>2446542
If your kid goes on the internet then there's a very, very good chance they've already seen furry porn. I've been looking at it since I was 13.

>>2446542

Dear Lava,

Please ban Loomis.

Oh no, do we have a new meme on our hands?

>>2446542
>>2446554
>>2446559
>>2446565

and low a new meme was born squinting in the dankness it crawled off into the unknown.

>>2446451

>>2446565

Dear Lava,

Please ban new meme's.

Sincerely,
A Concerned memer

>>2446542
I hope he enforces a new rule that says straight porn only

>>2446569
Memes are olev.

What can I draw for Bulge besides the obvious explicit shit?

>>2446581
Bulging biceps

>>2446581
boobs, ass, gun in pants or jacket pocket, puffy vulva

Dear Lava,

The only thing I want for Christmas this year is art gainz.

Sincerely,
Marcus W. IP

helo guys, rover here. I could not posted before because of bad internet. I still drawing every day, don't worry. My art is still bad but slowly get better. One day I will be a great porn artist so look for my posted on LAS.

>>2446588
If you keep up drawing every day and studying, you'll almost surely see gains by Christmas. Damn, that's such a good feeling, let's all make really nice art for Christmas.

>>2446591
I'll polish this bulge til the new year. It'll be glorious

>>2446588
Dear Lava, ignore my previous message i mistyped

The only thing I really want for Christmas this year is Your Massive girthy member ramming my butt.

Sincerely,
Marcus W. IP

>>2446591
I hope I can make art on the level of pic related by Christmas.

>>2446593
What would you even do? Draw and fully render every thread in the fabric of the bulging pants in 10kx10k resolution?

>>2446597
Didn't you read his post?
He'll polish it.

>>2446594
Dear Lava,

I think somebody is trying to steal my identity as that was not written by me.
I'm starting to see strange vehicles outside my window.
Lava I'm scared.
Please send help.

Sincerely,
Marcus W. IP

>>2446596
Read James Gurney's book on color if you haven't already. The image isn't very complicated and the thing that gives it that lovely comfiness is the color choices, so that'll be the biggest help in your making comfy Christmas art.

>>2446589
Stella?

Guys how's these hands?

>>2446591
C-can we have a LAS secret santa?
Please?

>>2446603
I'll give it a looksie, thank you.

>>2446609
your just pleading for death now arn't ya?

>>2446609
This sounds really fun, I'm not exactly sure what we would do though since we don't actually know each other personally. I guess you could give prompts, like just ask for something comfy, or you could request a drawing of a certain character.

>>2446614
I thought he just meant exchanging art.

>>2446600
Dear Lava,

Please ignore that last post, false alarm!
There are no strange vehicles outside my window.
I am perfectly fine.
I do not need assistance.

Sincerely,
Marcus W. IP

>>2446615
you art idea sounds way better than an actual secret santa

Lava this needs to be a thing

>>2446608
Please I haven't saved, just let me know if the hands look ok or if I should try something different or fix them.

>>2446608
hard to read, difficult angle and pose really.

>>2446608
her thumb's the wrong way round

>>2446615
tfw you get JMGN as your secret art santa

>>2446608
Not bout the hands, son.

>>2446621
Forget about the hands, fix the belt. Too flat.

>>2446623
as in, put your left arm in that position, and notice that the thumb is on the other side of the hand

>>2446628
>what is foreshortening

>>2446623
>>2446630
I can't tell what you mean but thanks anyway. I'll probably try something different with them.

>>2446633
Except neither arm looks foreshortened, also her right sleeve is facing a different direction than the rest of her arm.

If you can't perspective, pick a different pose or draw from a model.

>>2446634
he's telling you her left hand is a right hand

its backwards, just try the pose yourself

Dear lava

Please ban lava

Sincerely
Lava

>>2446565
This is not a new meme jerry spilled all his spaghetti a while ago after a breakdown im surprised this memem dint die.

>>2446645
Ohhh okay I see it now. That means I'll have to redraw the hands entirely anyway so I'll do that and fix the issue with the arms too. Thanks guys.

>>2446461

TOMORROW

I

SWEAR

DanielM be my bf

Okay I tried a new pose for the arms is it alright?

>>2446758

>>2446758
You fucking coward.

>>2446764
>>2446767
such bully

>>2446758
Looks better. But you're still a pussy for not foreshortening it.

Yotsuyu, it helps a lot with application if you memorize the origin and insertion of the major muscles.

>>2446767
>>2446774
I'm not afraid of foreshortening the arms but it would've obscured a lot of the hands and I want the hands showing.
>>2446769
I don't think the tangent one is bully, there is a pretty bad tangent with the belt.

>>2446776
also doing l'ecorche paintover photos with a reference book on the side helps a lot

>>2446777
>there is a pretty bad tangent with the belt.
Oh shit haha, it looks like her arm. To be fair, it probably won't be very noticeable once it's colored. Also, the belt is still flat.

>>2446779
I might actually color this one for once but I think I've finally gotten it to work. I wasn't sure if people were saying the belt looks flat like it has no thickness or it's not wrapping around the forms so I tried to address that too. This is probably going to be about as good as I can get it. Thanks for the help everyone.

>>2446786

try doing the pose yourself and ref off it

>>2446800
Too late I'm running with it.
I did do the pose earlier when I was trying to think of something to change it to though.

i hope I get andrae for my secret santa

>>2446901
wat

>>2446901
you get saucy

>>2446901
>tfw you will never eat lumpia and spaghetti with andrae and the other flipbro for Christmas

>>2446359
don't do it, my guy! I'm coming back for LAS #11, just didn't have much time to post for the Topic challenge. RL stuff is a bit "distracting" too, I'm almost broke again after paying all the bills so now I'm just trying to make ends meet (doing small commissions and stuff). But I finally fixed my PC now so I'm almost back in the game!

g-guys, do you think jmgn did this?

http://bad-dragon.com//products/stpatrick2016-shirt

>>2447239
Doesn't quite look like his style, but maybe that's just because the shading is different for printing. Maybe he can confirm/deny.

bruh...

>>2447239
That artist is clearly streets ahead of jm in skill lmao

The furry community style is so incestuous that you cant even tell them apart.

idk if i can get home before the deadline to do digital. sorry in advance for my inevitable cellphone pic submission

>>2447121
>Jesus christ you people need to go out more
reddit is over there.

Sorry for low efforting the shit out of today. Gotta even it out after being happy with my submission yesterday

>>2447325
But you did at least 30 minutes, right?

>>2447325

What are you doing here? Surely there's a charity in better need of your services.

>>2447361
well played, well played

>>2447345
Absurdity is a staple of comedy. Most people wouldn't think of using panties as a coffee filter. Since it's a little girl it isn't flirty or anything, she probably just thinks she's helping out her parent. It's funny because it's silly and she's unaware.

>>2447121
>>2447343
>>2447345
>we have normies like this guy there in LAS
A bit depressing. No wonder I don't really visit the threads anymore.

>>2447387
Normies have been on the rise lately, and modern art 2deep4you artists too.

>>2447401
I noticed this on other boards as well. A general I had been part for a long time now has slowly turned in some kind of normie feast in not even a few months.

>>2446615

I'd love to do art secret santas. This is a good idea.

I'm killing myself today. Jumping in front of a train. Today is my last post. You guys win I give up

>>2447218

Spring Break and the return from it has only taken away my valuable drawing energy, but I work at a university. Lots of extra work when the students leave that can't be done with them around, lots of fires to put out after they come back from a break. Still managed to keep up at least one hour a day, though.

>>2447425

>>2447425
week one??

I decided I'm going to drop out guys.

This contest is unhealthy for me, it's gotten to a point where I put in the bare minimum effort every day just to stay in and i'm not improving.

I draw for 30 minutes then submit, giving me a false sense of accomplishment, then I don't draw for the rest of the day.

I might be the time of day I have to submit the drawing everyday, since I'm a night owl and getting my brain ready for drawing everyday so early is difficult since I'm a plebeian procrastinator.

I'm stopping at 69 days, it seems appropriate.

Good luck to the rest of you.

DanielM you're a bit of a qt can you draw your butt next time?

>>2447446
Honestly I'm in the same boat and I'm tempted to leave as well but when I noticed how I progressed even slightly when it comes to drawing thanks to these 30-60min a day it makes me want to keep pushing it.

Out of these 70 days it's true I haven't really drawn much outside of LAS but there still were days where I did. Surely it'll get better if I keep it up. If I can't even draw 30min of studies or sketches a day for LAS then I might as well give up drawing entirely. So unless you're giving up on drawing I believe you just need to fix your mentality and perspective on all of this.

>>2447446
>>2447449
PLEASE
BE
WEEK
ONE

>>2447446

Don't give in to weakness. You will have bad weeks. You will have bad months, but drawing and art are long-hauls. Weeks and months are drops in the ocean.

Why did you start in the first place? Whatever the reason, it's probably a good enough reason to want to keep going, if not in LAS then at least with art.

I work full time, have a long walking commute, and a billion little chores to do every day in my tiny apartment to keep the place livable. It's been a rough week and I've been stuck at the office late, but I always get in at least an hour. I'm sure you can, too.

The time to submit is irrelevant—if you're finding it hard to submit before the deadline for a day, change your habit to submit after and be one of the first for the next day.

>>2447446

What should I study

you're mom

>>2447550
hand skeletal and muscular system

>>2447550
elliptical box gestures

>>2447550
engineering

>>2447550
my ass

I'm not entirely sure understand or how to study and improve my sense of construction.

Anyone have any tips on how they approached that topic?

>>2447566
I drew hundreds of boxes. That seemed to help.
Whenever you don't know what to draw, draw boxes and basic shapes.

>>2447566
get a coke bottle and deconstruct it into basic 3d shapes. It's not as easy as you might think. Once you get the hang of it, try to draw the same bottle only from imagination, rotate it in space, play with the proportion of the shapes and make new bottles.

>>2447573
>>2447571

So grind basic shapes like crazy, observe from life, deconstruct then mutate in space.
Gotcha. I can do that.

Thanks for the advice lads.

idk how you 2330 guys do it. it feels terrible

Gonna guess 3 eliminated. One from week one. 4 tokens used.

>>2447588
how much are you willing to bet?

Well, that is me eliminated.

>only 1 week 1er lost a token

>a bunch of goobers eliminated

RIP pangaea6, what happened?

>>2447409
Last few weeks pretty much destroyed one of the ones I browse. I mean, more so than normal.

Man it feels great knowing I can upload no effort work w/o any punishment : )

Damn, science is one of those topics that's very vague. You can relate pretty much anything to it, but specifically depicting it without going the stereotypical person in lab coat route would be tough.

>>2447585
I can't imagine how you can be comfortable with it. I need to submit before I go to bed, otherwise I get too nervous about something coming up or me forgetting to keep an eye on the time. Way too much pressure, no wonder some of you get so stressed out by this.

with the death of pangaea6 there are only 3 week 4ers left, they're a dying breed

>>2447597
week 1er lost his token

>>2447604
DIE

>>2447604
187 reports for the Tribunal beta :^)

>stayed up all night watching anime and didn't wake up on time so they have been eliminated from
Kek, is this one for grach? I don't remember it, but I also don't check eliminations much.

>>2447612
>187
holy shit

>>2447612
Can we see them?

>>2447612
Oh shit, have the reports just been piling up until now? I thought you had been reviewing them yourself, or were you only banning blatant cheaters like the faggots who upload month-old imgur links?

>>2447612

:^)

there's going to be so much death when tribunal convenes

>>2447612

All from the same autist going through every submission, right?

>>2447631
I'm so excited. Lava, can we get a new estimate on the release time?

Why do people want people to get eliminated? I want as many people to be getting good as possible.

>>2447599

I'm focusing all my free time into zbrush sculpting at the moment instead of drawing. It would take too much time to do both.

how long until tokens are reset and I wont have to worry about being eliminated

>>2447639
i think you're in the wrong thread then, this is about winning, not getting good.

>>2447641
exactly 30 days after you lose your token (not at the end of the month)

>>2447639
Not if they are cheating anon.

>>2447625
reports won't ever be visible because it would encourage trolling and witch hunting. if a submission hits the to be determined report threshold they'll show up in the tribunal and it can be voted on then

>>2447626
yeah before I started working on the tribunal i was letting them pile up and I'd remove cheaters manually but I stopped even that since I started working on it. I was kinda curious what the votes would look like for blatant cheaters

>>2447636
I've been working on it fulltime the last couple days and I'd like to have it ready for tonight. A couple of the automated things won't be ready in time but it's nbd I was going to manually review everything anyway. As long as I don't find any critical bugs it should be ready tonight

>>2447644
I just meant in general, like the PBW1 stuff. I want cheaters to get punished too.

>>2447647

If it anything like league of legends this won't work at all. In LOL all people did was press punish and not even read the thing.

>>2447648
they're bantz

>>2447649
Was there a punishment for people that voted incorrectly? Because Lava would be reviewing all the tribunal results for a while and overruling incorrect ones

>>2447647
>reports won't ever be visible because it would encourage trolling and witch hunting. if a submission hits the to be determined report threshold they'll show up in the tribunal and it can be voted on then
I like this. People have been tending to post the questionable submissions in the thread anyways.

>>2447649
It'll take a very significant majority, I think. Personally I'm planning on reviewing each one carefully, I want to be fair. And if there's a report threshold, then only the really suspicious ones will be votable anyways.

>>2447649
People will be rewarded for voting correctly and people who are below average at judging cases will have their vote count for less. I played around with checking for vote patterns too but that's too time consuming and I can come back to it when I have real data to compare it against. I've also set it up to throw in the occasional random case to see what happens

Today, i have decided, i will not give up my love for loli.

>>2447667
Loomis?

>>2447665

The same was true for league of legends, it didn't stop people from just hitting punish button. You gained RP for tribunal in LOL, people just pressed punished.

>>2447669

>>2447671
If there was no incentive to vote, do you think people would only vote if they care about justice?
