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.

lava's brother is like loomis but instead of killing you he just pops up to distract you so you don't upload in time

Watching Lain with the lassies

https://picarto.tv/UltraBondageFairy

>>2479272
I'm imagining Lava trying to submit and his brother shoving the phone in his face like LOOK AT THEM LOOK AT THE BABIES

I have a question, LAS, these are a couple of drawings from live model classes, I want to study Loomis for construction.
With my level should I start with "Fun with a Pencil" or could I start with something more advanced, like "Figure drawing for all It's worth"?

>>2479316
looks like you already got some of the basics down
i think you can skip fun with a pencil

I WANT ACHIEVEMENTS

>>2479331
WE WANT ACHIEVEMENTS

we should fill the thread with dragon dicks until our demands are met

>>2479333
no one is stopping you

>>2479331
I want to be able to buy food and clothes. The last new clothing I bought for myself was a pack of underwear last year because the holes in the ones I've had for years before that finally made them not stay up anymore. And I had to use a credit card so I could save up enough to pay for it. To stop living this shitty life and do my art is the only achievement I care about.

>>2479331
i want to make it

>>2479333
>we should fill the thread with dragon dicks until our demands are met
we should fill the DED with dragon dicks submissions until our demands are met

>>2479337
why not both :^>

Now streaming Paranoia Agent with Nuckles and Radianart

>>2479333
Better than that: we should draw the achievements badges.

>>2479347
>they should be an alpha tester badge
>it should be a lemur

>pussy on a pedestal
CandyCome, muh nigga

>>2479349
we need achievements for strike days without using a token, like 7days badge, 14 days badge etc, and depending on your best strike, you could even have a border around your submissions instead of the white default one, like in league where you have bronze/ silver/ gold border around your champion in loading screen

>>2479367
100 days golden badge

How do we deal the killing blow to Lava and Loomis?

>>2479437
Easy, you just pay 4WB mana and cast it targeting them. Loomis plays aggro and Lava taps out every turn spending his mana on programming, so it won't get countered.

cranium, dot, and ubf mulistream

https://picarto.tv/UltraBondageFairy

>>2479449
>lava programs you out of LAS.
your move.

>>2479465
have lemur for dinner

>>2479465
Cast myself paying the two additional colorless mana, then bolt Lava for 3.

Besides drawing a fuck ton of boxes spheres and cylinders, what other ways can I grind fundamentals?

>>2479494
bend, twist and stretch those shapes

>>2479494
drawing a fuck ton of grids
i dunno anon, draw something fun once in a while maybe?

>>2479494
Try actually drawing simple things using boxes, spheres and cylinders.

>>2479496
>>2479498
Great advice, thanks!

I think I jumped the gun by going straight into Loomis' figure drawing construction. I'll make some more twisty bendy box people.

>>2479471
>lava's previous programming aloud him to have limitless tokens.
your move.

>>2479494
Draw stuff that's interesting to you, but incorporate fundamental studies into them somehow. It will be a lot more fun than just drawing hands/boxes/perspectives/whatever you're doing.

>>2479513
Call the judge. Splinter Twin is banned in Modern.

stream?

>>2479535
>>2479452

>>2479336

I think I hit the point where I've forgotten what I need to do to get better and just constantly get worse and worse because of it. Is it just studying stuff then applying and fixing things until it looks good or is there some sort of mindset I need to use as well while drawing?

>>2479550
kek

>>2479519
fuking lol.

>>2479554
it certaly helps if you have a goal that you can work towards. Some artist you want to reach or something.

>>2479401
make it a phallic shape and deal :^)

Guys

>>2479571

>>2479571
not gonna make it D:

quit this long ago. is there still time to come back?
had to go work in the oil fields and recently got laid off. its hard to draw when working 10 to 15 hours or even more sometimes and trying to fit drawing in the same time.

>>2479609
You can always join back in, you'll be entered into one of the later weekly challenge groups. You can't enter and win in group week 1-13, but you can enter week 14 and fight for the last stand there.

>>2479609
You're always wellcome.

>>2479609
>is there still time to come back?
There's always time.

>>2479494
Draw what you want to from imagination. Figure out the biggest issue with it; perspective, fucked up forms, whatever, and fix that part specifically. Then do imagination stuff again, analyse it, study to fix, and repeat.

Grinding boxes can be useful but also very boring. Artists tend to be visual learners, and if the stuff you're drawing is so boring you don't even want to look at it, it can stunt how much you learn from it.

http://lavaflake.com/draw/comics/

>>2479571

Is there gonna be some stats for this? I feel like this is gonna get the highest quit rate compared to all other challenges within LAS so far

>>2479780
Not if you didn't ask lava to be added

>>2479571

Every page I shit out makes me want to fucking cry.
It was fine when it was just studies that I had no personal attachment to but when you undergo a creative endeavor it hurts all the more when under scrutiny.

>>2479776
Talking about the context is it implying that no one is gonna make it on time?

>>2479571

Wait, I thought the only "hard" deadline was the finished pages on the 20th? Are we not allowed to update our roughs after the 10th?

>>2479786
No it's seen by everyone. The secret entrance was removed long ago. Make a new account and check for yourself if you don't believe me.

>>2479798
you can

>>2479795
yeah, most people haven't submitted 10 roughs yet. I know I'm thinking about quitting

>>2479813
afaik, you need to submit all 10 roughs at the same time in one link

>>2479813
Bunch of weaklings good thing I'm not interested in comics otherwise I'd be the best person for that challenge

Cancer guy why dint they let you keep your gonads? They're yours anayways. Nice OP image BTW.

>>2479843
Thanks ;^)

>>2479833
For me personally it's not that I can't make that many comic roughs in 10 days, it's more about how my quality isn't up to par. That time would probably be better spent doing something like the fundamentals.

I've been thinking about using some of the less skilled artists every now and then for the OP. Do you guys think that's something we should do or should I stick with the higher quality stuff?

>>2479857
post whatever will attract people to the thread

>>2479798

If you don't update 10 roughs by the 10th you're out

>>2479865
are you sure? I could've sworn that the 10th was a recommended thing and the only real requirement is that you have 10 roughs and 10 finals by the 20th.

>>2479857
you've posted nothing that's considered "higher quality"

>>2479865

Can lava confirm this?

>>2479871
he said "higher" quality which means he's been posting some of the better stuff to come out of LAS. Obviously your not gonna find pro level work on LAS.

>>2479875
Give it 3-4 months and we'll get there.

>>2479883

another week with 58 people in week 1. cmon guys give up already.

>>2479912
ok

>>2479912
Relax, tonight is already guaranteed week 1 elimination.

>>2479915
You're talking about Loomis?

>>2479915
That's what they said last time

>>2479918
I think Loomis is gonna get eliminated. He said he was gonna take a break from art and lost his token yesterday. You guys just had to bully the guy didn't ya?

hello buddies what do i draw for wealth? :DD

>>2479927
But if he leaves the kill will stop for good, won't it?

>>2479949
No....It'll get worse. Punished Loomis will return with a vengeance my friend, and his targets will be all those who got better evaluations than him. He already fooled Lava into losing his token. The new Loomis will be much more dangerous.

>>2479949
Lava's brother will replace him

>>2479875

Not with that attitude

This just means he will be doing it full time. Expect far more eliminations.

>>2479869
Why would there be a timer if it wasn't required? I'm gonna post the roughs to be on the safe side

I think lava is level 2

I have no idea how this happened but I'm back. The deadline is 1am GMT+0 now?

>>2479973
you must have a very low view on "professional" I reckon
you can consider yourself professional when it's not you who looks for work but work comes to you

>>2479973
How the fuck is naf even in the same league. Lol faggot

eddcer way to move out of your comfort zone with these tailed weird alien women.

I should have the finished tribunal on the site tomorrow and I'll either start working on weekly challenges/competitions or a critique system. What do you guys want?

http://strawpoll.me/7329306

>>2479872
>>2479869
The roughs due on day 10 is a guideline. They are required as part of the challenge but you can submit everything on the 1st or the 20th. The only real deadline is that you have to have everything submitted on or before the 20th

you guys from yesterday still here? Should we head over to https://picarto.tv/LittlePure?

>>2480032
I've already submitted, but I can go there and support you if you'd like.

stream anyone?

>>2480041

lava pls add "doesn't have the spark" and "fell for the ligameme" to the elimination messages

They'll never get gud like that

>>2480089
The recent weeks aren't really included in all the fun. Weekwunners get all the memes and if they get eliminated people make a big fuss. I think a lot of them do draw every day but there's no incentive for them to post because getting eliminated doesn't really matter.

>>2480089

I think LAS needs a bit of a revamp to be more appealing to anyone not in week 1.

>>2480110
seasons :D

>>2480110
Weekly challenges and critique options are coming soon, vote for whichever you'd rather Lava prioritizes. >>2480023

So Loomis dropped simply because he couldn't take one criticism? Yeah good riddance we don't need weaklings here never gonna make it

>>2480084
My wrist's been taking a beating lately. I'm still participating, though.

>>2480113
he didn't drop permanantly. I think he barely had any time to draw (evidenced by his quick doodles) and the evaluation just made him realize he was wasting his time. He said he's gonna take a break and come back so hopefully the time off will help him reevaluate his art goals.

>>2480112
>talking about yourself in the 3rd person

Please pull a Nile, Loomis. I already miss you <3

>>2480117
in stream the other night he said he's moving to the country for a while. he said he'll come back stronger than we can possible imagine

>>2480120
aw I missed it. Where's he going/why?

>>2480118
I ain't Lava homie. He normally puts on the trip for official FAQ type questions like that too.

>>2480118
wasn't me :^) i'm a chameleanon

>>2480110
It would be worth having some site notice for being the last in a week not counting the carry-overs from previous weeks.

new LAS eval soon? :^)

suzuka I want to learn how to draw anime girls for funsies, should I just draw girls that I think are the objectively best from their respective franchises and from there draw from imagination?

>>2480137
Yeah, that's pretty much it. Just keep drawing best girl

Or you could study stuff. Pick up little bits that catch your eye and put them together, tweak them, maybe just copy if they happen to be just right. Get yourself a style and all that

>>2480168
alright sounds like a plan, I'll get to it then

>>2480023
What would the weekly challenges be? More stuff like the topic and comics challenges? Do you have any specific ideas?

>>2480092
>We're only 18 now
Shit, I hope I can at least make it into the final 10.

>>2480094
It could also be that week one is probably most likely to be /ic/ regulars, since they would have seen the threads from the beginning. So they'll keep coming here and become attached to the community and not want to drop for that reason, but if you don't come here often then you're more likely to just forget about it. But I do feel bad that no one really talks about people from late weeks. Are any of the more well-known names from weeks after the first 2/3? I can't think of any.

>>2480189
my main goal was to reach at least one hundred days, didn't think I'd stay in flawless that long either

>>2480196
andrae maybe

>>2480196
Nile :^)

>>2480199
Oh wow, I didn't notice how close to 100 we are. That's cool.

>>2480196
>not a week 1er detected.

>>2480205
hey Nile :^)

I'm gonna drop out at 100 days. If I've gone 100 days into a year and still made no progress than I'm hopeless

>>2480220
Who are you? We might be able to judge or tell you what to study in the remaining time.

>>2480220
it's only 100 days senpai. I've been at it since day 1 week 1, and I've barely improved. I'm not expecting huge improvement in just 3 short months. I look back on stuff I drew 2 years ago and laugh at it, so 2 years from now, if I draw enough, I should be able to laugh at my stuff that I draw now.

>>2480220
How many more days left until you reach 100?

>>2480196
Man there's decent people joining each week, just go through the active list and look at new signups. In the past couple of weeks we've had guys lordslump, lampblak, abc123, hershey etc join and their stuff is pretty good.

>>2480220
Same except I've been in this game for a couple of years now, and I'm thinking if I don't start getting work by day 200 I should get a real job instead and have art as a hobby.

>>2480232
For daywunners it's day 93 today.

>>2480220
A daily drawing habit is progress. Ramp up the 30min if you can, and focus on an overall plan. Have concrete goals with specific, discreet steps to get there. Iron out these small steps and together they'll manifest as visible improvement.

The only valid reason to drop out is if LAS makes you draw less in the day or focus on sketches and doodles that aren't aligned with your overall plan in anyway.

>>2480220
>dropping out after a measly 100 days

Personally I'm thinking of dropping but this doesn't have anything to do with wanting to drop art or drawing less. It's just that this whole thread and LAS thing is making me waste time I feel in the end. I wish I could ignore it but from time to time people are dropping critiques and comments and well, let's be honest it's human nature wanting to know what's being said in a circle you're part of. Sometimes like right now I'm telling myself "yeah I could delete the thread and never look back at it again" but it's a lie, it'll be too tempting to keep an eye on it again.

Originally I'm on 4chan to avoid all these normie shits so having to deal with slight anxiety or attention name faggotery due to LAS is bothering me. Now the picture isn't all black either of course, LAS truly helped me in getting in the hobby of drawing more, and this is exactly for that reason I'm scared of letting go. If I let go sure I'll be free from the negative sides I just mentioned but there's no saying I might not revert back to my old self and not continue to draw every day.

I think I'll at least wait for tumblrcritique person to blog me and will ask everyone their opinions as well to see how I could improve. I'm also curious about whether a season system could eventually be added or not to prevent things from getting stale. I don't know. From there we'll see if I stay or not.

>>2480259

>>2480263
Nah, am w1d0.

>>2480226
I might say my name after the 100 days, I'm in week one.
>>2480229
True, my old stuff does look terrible compared to my newer stuff. Still not even close to where I want it.
>>2480232
I think around 10 days? I'm week one so the same as most people.
>>2480234
Yeah, maybe I won't stop art altogether but doing it as a job might be unrealistic.
>>2480237
I've been doing atleast an hour or two at the least, most days I'll do more.

Would it be cool if I posted my name and asked for thoughts on progress? I don't wanna become a living meme like jerrybreem or santi.

>>2480266
>Still not even close to where I want it
>in only 3 months

you had super unrealistic goals

>>2480259
>this whole thread and LAS thing is making me waste time
I feel the same, but I'm pretty sure if I drop out I won't draw every day. I'm really busy during semesters and some days it's been hard to fit those 30 minutes in. But I know that if I won't, I'll just give myself excuses on those extra busy days, and if I do that, what's stopping me from not drawing at all when I don't have hours to spare?

>>2480259
>having to deal with slight anxiety or attention name faggotery due to LAS is bothering me
Get over it. How are you going to make it if you want to stay completely anonymous with your art? My evaluation is on the immediate horizon and I'm shaking like a leaf in anxious anticipation. It's true that the overwhelming majority of the threads are just dank memes and shitposting, but you can easily skim through once or twice a day to see if anything more valuable was posted.

Andrae, what happened to yesterday's submission? It looks like you uploaded a dead imgur link in the last 30 seconds.

i dunno about you guys, but i always saw LAS as tool to help me draw every day. that was always the main purpose behind my participation.
you guys are getting too caught up with all this meta stuff.

not gonna make it

>>2480278
Yeah I saw that too. It was dead immediately too, not like it was there but 404d or got removed from imgur or something. Could be link mistake, who knows.

>>2480278
Sounds like a new way to stay in the game sick LAS strat

>>2480273
Yeah you're pretty much spot on.

>>2480276
>Get over it. How are you going to make it if you want to stay completely anonymous with your art?
I already have a blog with stuff I do not share with LAS on it though, and that one doesn't cause me any anxiety whatsoever. I think I didn't explain myself in the right way but in the meantime I'm not sure how to.

>>2480282
I'm rather sensitive I won't hide it, and I don't like people. That's why I don't want to have friends or anything that looks like it, and that's why the simple fact of being part of LAS is a bother to me.

>>2480284
>>2480278
he's trying to cheat

>>2480284
>>2480289
Hey andrae, if you're here post the image so we know you're not disgusting sly filth.

>>2480075
We killed him. I say we celebrate.

>>2480282
Yeah, you can choose how much you engage in the community aspect of LAS. Some people will hang out in streams and funpost here, and some will just keep chugging along on their own. Dropping out because other people are doing a thing you don't want to do is silly.

>>2480293

Good, you've been forgiven.

>>2480298
Evaluation guy, how does this make you feel?

>>2480303
Yes, you should feel ashamed of that attempted pun anon. Very ashamed.

Anyone going to stream tonight?

>>2480302
c-cute!

I've been in LAS for only about 2 months now, but May 1st is going to be my 2 year anniversary of when I first started drawing. I've never really put any of my art out aside from a sketchbook forum so I've never really received too much critique.

>>2480312
Had a look through your submissions but don't feel like I can give good feedback unless I know where it is you want to move forward to. What are you wanting to do with your art?

>>2480324
thank you for taking the time to look at my submissions, and to answer your question, to be honest I'm not really sure. I think originally one of my goals was to make money doing porn but I quickly found that it makes me uncomfortable. I feel like drawing just gives me a direction in life, like it's something that can be continuously studied and improved until I die. My pipe dream would be to just find a way to make money drawing so I don't have to work full time, but doing what I'm not really sure. I think that I would like to do comics though.

>>2480338
Not that anon but if you think comics might be your thing you should give the comic challenge a shot then if you haven't already started

https://picarto.tv/littlepure

>>2480338
>I think that I would like to do comics though.
Then do them. I looked through your stuff too and it looks like your atleast competent. I wouldn't say you're amazing but not bad at all. The thing that stood out to me is the lack of finished pieces, I camt really get a handle on what you're capable of because your posts are mostly studies. You could definitely get commissions at this point, just post finished/ interesting things and try to attract people through fan art or something. Or try the comic challenge on LAS. You should definitely be doing stuff you enjoy along with the studies.

>>2480343
Oh yea I saw that earlier in the thread, but it seems like the deadline for the roughs are tomorrow. I guess I'll have to knock them out fairly quickly if I want to stay in it.

>>2480345
I agree, lack of finished pieces is definitely a weakness of mine. But I feel like every time I try to tackle a piece and bring it to a finished state, I hit a wall where I feel like "oh I have no idea how the lighting would work in this scene, I don't have any knowledge of how to light feathers, how should I go about adding texture to the environment/characters" etc, etc. I don't want to "skip" any stages of training my art abilities. Since I'm not able to go to school though I feel like I run in a circle most of the time though, in terms of my study direction.

>>2480353
>I don't have any knowledge of how to light feathers, how should I go about adding texture to the environment/characters" etc, etc.
I know what you mean. That's pretty much a problem most artists have, obviously you've got to set time aside to study those things but at the same time at least attempt to do what you want. You'll probably feel better and it'll give you an idea of where you went wrong with your studies.

>>2480471
yeah what the fuck, at least point him to Han and tell him to use tools in the meantime.

>>2480471
>>2480473
Eh, you guys are right. I actually was going to say "perfect" lines but I still hold firmly that draftsmanship matters more. a skilled artist can create straight enough lines that serve the purpose, but if it is something mechanical or architectural the "perfect" look will be more from tools than your own skill. I should have said the skill behind drawing a straight line matters. I wanted to kind of stay away from talking about lines so much in this one though since I literally say one thing or another about lines in every single one.

I think I've officially drawn the most autistic shit ever, afraid to post at this point.

Stream up
https://piczel.tv/watch/PTSD

>>2480259
I'm feeling the same thing exactly. Just skimming the posts in here every day takes at least half an hour of my day, even though I don't actually post.

LAS in general is corrupting what I draw, I know I'd be making way more progress if I put my hours into the right things without worrying about posting.

I think I've built up motivation to draw without it now, so it's served it's purpose and I'm grateful for that, but at this point it's doing more harm than good.

This competition won't last forever. People are going to drop out and the end will come, sooner probably rather than later. If you're issue is talking to people then ya ain't gonna make it desu. Either way I'm sticking around until LAS falls, and then I'll pack my bags and leave while the dust settles.

LAS will end soon. Nobody will have become good. We all will have learned something, it will have been fun, and we'll say goodbye to each other as some of us return to work, others return to the daily routine of shitposting in draw threads in /ic/, and others try to become good only to realize it is way beyond them, and just settle down on another easier and more rewarding career.
Let's face it, the art world is saturated, companies will treat you like shit, and even the top positions don't pay enough to sustain anyone. You say that it doesn't matter, that you will work hard and you don't care about money, that it is your passion... The cold hard truth is that when you're in your forties and your art doesn't pay the bills you are going to be wishing to have studied more and entered engineering or another respectable career.
Not even five hours a day will get you to the top level. The pros were not like you. People say that talent doesn't exist, but not everyone who works their asses off makes it. Some people have a strong passion for art since young, and it is impossible to get that passion through hard work.
Think about it this way: Anon313 and FMmood are the best of the best in LAS, and not even them could get an art job that paid the bills. It is not viable to make a living out of art in this day and age, and even art gods like Mullins, Ruan Jia, etc. have to rely on another sources of income.
I know that you won't trust these words and you'll just say "he's just another doomsayer" and ignore it, but I was like you at one point. I was an enthusiastic 22 year old with a dream, I had always liked to draw, and I listened to the words of hope of everyone in the internet, so I wasted five years of my life trying as hard as I could, only to end up depressed, sad, lonely and unemployed.
Don't pursue a career in art, lasers. Just don't. Avoid the same mistake I made and just pursue something that will make you happier.

Is it possible drawing every day is a hinder? Straining yourself to push forward to get better, although every time I've stopped drawing for a week or so my drawings have alright seemed better to me when I return to it. Refreshed, lose bad habits, see faults I suffered from not seeing, etc. Or is it all in my head

FFUUCK I accidentally joined the comic challenge, and I have no roughs. The fuck do i do in three hours?! I have no story either.

>>2481230
Drawing every day and straining/pushing every day are different things though. I find I have a good streak where I'm pushing and learning and then two or three days when I'm just tired or nothing goes right on the canvas. Then if I stop pushing and just draw comfy things or muh waifu then it refreshes me and the next day is a start of a new good streak.

I think that topics are actually good for me, I just wish there were more hours in a day. Maybe I could work on my schedule, make some extra drawing time out of nothing.

>>2481230
i find that i had some noticable slumps while in LAS. in those periods i would usually take a break and not draw anything. now i can't do that.
don't know if that's good or bad, but i do know that i'm slowly building a stronger habit. also i'm not not running away when i don't feel the muse. all in all it made me more aware of where i am as an artist and what my limits are.

i agree that after taking a longer break you always come back fresh and more satisfied, but that may be the wrong mindset. speaking for myself, i don't want the occasional nice drawing, i want consistency. and if nothing else, LAS is certainly good for that.
