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.

Could abc or someone create another sketch swap challenge, i liked it and i want to give it another go. Thanks fampai

>>2573016
No lewds on twitch, and nobody can keep it in their pants apparently

Animation challenge crit. I'm by no means great at crit or the best animator alive, I just thought it might be nice to get comments on all the hard work everyone put in.

That said, take it with a grain of salt if you wish.

>>2573018
nah, I'll stay around
What's the advantage of picarto except for nsfw exactly?
I thought you could just flag your stream as 18+

>>2573018
The twitch fans are the greatest though. They're such faggots who keep asking for more and all your secrets. They never stop and seem like they don't realize you're an ordinary person. They never even donate or subscribe. They just talk with you to waste your time. They're the best.

>>2573027
that may have been true when JTV was a thing but twitch is fucking cancer

>>2573016
>streaming on twitch
WutFace

>>2573016
go for it if you want. A few people used to stream on there before but they stopped, I don't really mind desu, and you'd probably get more viewers on there too.

>>2573029
I'm new to art streaming, twitch just seems more streamlined than picarto, is there some reason why Creative sucks or is it just memes?
>>2573027
I've only streamed a couple of times for my buds only one of them public but this is so fucking true, I immediately got one random guy asking me about my secrets and not stopping for the entire duration of the stream.

>>2573016
Twitch is extremely strict as to what you can stream: games, music, speech, video, you name it.

I got suspended once, and my artwork wasn't even lewd or erotic in nature, I'm still salty about it.

>>2573037
Maybe you got suspended because your art sucks that bad?

>>2573041
Yes.

>>2573041

>>2573025
I appreciate the effort but the crits are pretty weak family.

>>2573099
What's your name? You'll get a more in-depth one.

>>2573099
Yeah I know, I had longer versions but decided to cut it. If anything else I just wanted to start at least some discussion, because it was just dead silent after the challenge.

*scribble scribble scribble*

>>2573110
Well I appreciated it because I wasn't rated 1/10 :^) I went back and played with exercise 11 trying to fix the acceleration issue and it's a bit better but I still don't have it like I want it. I'll go back and redo/fix my other failed ones while we wait for the level 2 challenge

>>2573127
I'm glad you appreciated it!

Definite improvement there, I love how far you go with the action afterwards.

Really work the delay in that leg just before the kick, exaggerate the fuck out of it. Also a little more "splat!" as he hits the ground would really make it come alive: take a couple frames out from the fall and add a delay as he's on the ground, I'd say.

>>2573025
Thanks for the crit, susi. You're totally right about stretch and squash and other things. I'll try to redo it when I'm able to.

>>2572876
>>2572881
>>2572882
I'm planning to start Sketch swap #2 at the beginning of the next month (on 1-4th of July). I'd really appreciate it if you waited for me, but of course I can't stop anyone from making a challenge sooner.

If I drop out sometime in the next two weeks, it means I'm in hospital and I won't be back for some time. So if that happens, feel free to start the challenge yourself.

Sorry and thank you for understanding.

>>2573127
The initial jump definitnely needs some work, there's no anticipation so it looks like the sack just floats up there instead of jumping. The kick is a bit slow too, maybe you were going for a slow motion effect? Add emphasis to when the ball makes contact with the sack. Right now it looks like the ball just randomly changes direction. You could try seeing what it looks like if you hold the contact frame for a bit or add a bit of squash to when the ball touches the sack. The last fall is weird too since it doesn't flow correctly, it looks like it has regained its balance and then just falls over, maybe try speeding it up so it looks like the momentum from the fall carries over. Actually, now that I think about it, the rolling over to the side doesn't really makes sense since he's falling straight down instead of moving laterally. All I can think of at the moment.

>>2573142
>If I drop out sometime in the next two weeks, it means I'm in hospital and I won't be back for some time.
you gonna be okay man?

>>2573142
pls take care of yourself bb
>mfw thinking of you hurting

>>2573143
looked to me like the sack was trying to quickly kip up from a prone position, but then overcompensated thus making it tip over the other direction. Could just be me, though.

>>2573143
every single point in your critique is something I tried to fix and failed. i cut the kick frames in half, i redrew a couple frames in that last fall/roll over to try to make it look like it was the momentum that made it fall over. maybe if I made the splat and then push up to a sitting position look more forceful then the roll back would be more believable?

>>2573141
yeah i spent probably an hour on the splat and i couldn't figure it out. i originally was going to go for a kind of volleyball dive recovery but i made it smoosh into the ground and the whole thing turned into a blob. i think if i do v4 it'll have a faster fall, more squish, more frames on the ground and a harder push back to make the roll over more believable

>>2573161
yeah that's what I was going for and i don't think it's terrible but the on the ground frames aren't working

>>2573163
Honestly I think a lot of it is just the limitations of animating a flour sack. I'm looking at your frames and it looks like everything I could recommend you, you've already tried to put in place, it just isn't coming across to the viewer because of the shape of the sack. the only correction to this that I see, would be to make the sack take on more of a human shape for the fall portion: that way, when when it tries to quickly get up, you'd see the momentum clearer through the body...maybe show a couple frames of the sack trying to correct on what would be its toes, and flailing its arms.

The ball could be fixed a bit if you showed a little dust action at the point of impact, and drew a few lines spinning on the ball after departure to show the ball is now affected by the kick and rotating on an axis. The other fix would be to double up on your frames, and show more deforming and acceleration after contact.

Other ideas: show an anticipated kick before contact, and change the angle of the ball to over the viewer's left shoulder. Add a longer prone time, or make the sack distribute the fall more like the worm dance to make the kip up action makes more sense (guessing you referenced an actual football/soccer player when making this. sacks don't have knees to absorb impact, so it looks odd because it's half of the lower body kinda flopping at once with no real view-able kinetic energy pushing it back up).

>>2572866
on the contrary I lift to heal my tendinitis and weak grip. It will balance out but you'll have trouble if you lift and draw back to back.

>>2573181
i do

Stressed as fuck and can't draw

>>2573187
Stressed as fuck and still going to draw.

>>2573179
i really tried to add anticipation to the kick but i fel like I was limited by the body I was working with (i made it so fat.) In the original attempt from the challenge I had the whole body spinning evenly and to try to fix the lack of umph when hitting the ball I had the ball pause there for an extra 2 frames. in the fixed version i made the top half rotate then had the lower body snap around in the last 2 frames to hit the ball but it still doesn't have that umph. i guess impact lines/fx would do it

>>2573187
Draw how you feel, inb4 feelings are gay.
(they are)

>>2573187
please be week one ;^)

>>2573195
If you watch the lower half of the body during the kick in >>2573127 it looks like it connects well. It doesn't if you look anywhere else

>>2573187
Every waking moment is crippling anxiety. Even when things are going well there's always a tiger at my window waiting to eat me. Can't eat, can't sleep, just draw.

>suddenly burst of inspiration for story I wanna do
whoa what the fuck I was just drawing gestures man

Fuck it. I'm going to cook me a nice dinner instead of drawing. See you on the other side lassos.

I just wanna be gud mang =(

>>2573231

let's make it guys!

>>2573146
Yeah, I just hope that the new medication starts working soon and I'll be able to stay home.

>>2573153
Thanks, I'm trying

>>2573025
Thanks for the input, senpai. The challenge gave me an appreciation for how insane animators are. It was fun getting a taste of the consistency, weight, and timing that goes into it. Literally a whole new dimension of things to consider on top of static illustration.

>>2573246
What's going on if you don't mind me asking? Hope things work out for you man.

joining this challenge has made me hate art, i hate pencils i hate books i hate loomis i hate myself. im done.

>>2573265

why is everybody so fucked up here, I thought this was just about drawing for at least half an hour every day for a week, did I misread?

>>2573273
streams and attention whores happened
this is still /ic/ after all

>>2573273
sadly for some this is also their only way to interact meaningfully with other people

>>2573278

>>2573273
You did

It's never ending. half an hour every day, for every day of your life. if you thought you got cake at the end of the week, you'd better drop now before you get invested in this hell hole.

>>2573285
>It's never ending. half an hour every day, for every day of your life.
>anon thinks this is a lot for an average artist

>>2573273
/ic/ was always lazy and cynical now they have been placed in a situation where its "put up or shut up" and in the end they are being faced with reality, while they only draw for 30 minutes (most of the time they dont)and are falling apart many are putting actual ours daily and have made them feel like what they truly are, trash, cannon fodder on the road of the ones willing to pay with blood. they have realized they have already failed because they cant beat the walls they have placed on themselves, its their fault and they know it. hell i know it.

>>2573265
Maybe don't study everyday. Try drawing some fanart every once in a while. Make sure you're using different approaches to art

>>2573273
>why is everybody so fucked up here
what do you mean?
>>2573276
yeah, I don't mind if people stream but it's getting annoying when people use inside jokes in the threads or post caps from streams/name drop others.

lava what is your end goal with art again? iirc it was about being able to illustrate your short stories or something, but i don't remember if that was you anymore

>>2573298
sorry?

>tfw no week 1 deaths today

>>2573308
Yeah pretty much. I wanted to tell stories in a way that involved pictures+text+animation. It's mainly about the story though and art is a means to that end. The art goals are to be able to create beautiful, expressive people and have it be effortless

>>2573390
Great minds think alike ;)
No, seriously, I thought it would be interesting to see the fall like a cartoon where the bad guy falls down a cliff and becomes smaller, I think that was my line of thought

>You never finish anything

>ur not learning anything
I'm learning how to fucking paint, which is what I want to do. People always assume that I want to draw perfect figures from imagination and shit, and that might be the main /ic/ thing but I just have no interest in it. I don't want to be a concept artist, might not even want to be an illustrator anymore, just want to make stuff even more beautiful than it is in front of me. If my painting new things each day and trying new processes all the time is somehow worse than the tons of people who don't know what to draw so they just do gestures every day then so be it.

>>2573412
I think you're great choob!

>>2573415
It's a soft clay statue with some kind of liquid being poured over it to smooth it out before casting I think, so I guess it'd be the same kind of texture.

>>2573419

Yeah, I ignore it mostly, but done that too much the past couple threads so there's more and more of it. Only getting bad mentions saying that Choob's shit at X or needs to do more this or that can be irritating. Don't want people to think I'm an idiot blindly wandering around needing constant help or something, more like I know I'm bashing into one section of wall and it's what I'm aiming to do.

Just want to get the point across that I do what I like, there's plenty of rising stars in LAS to watch instead if my stuff isn't to their taste.

>>2573417
Thanks m8

Thoughts on Creature Lifecycle? Any particular favorite stages from people? I very much enjoyed reading the text people added and looking at the diagrams. It was a little effort that went a long way and really showed off how much though so people put in. Nice work guys!

>>2573412
oh GOD my DIICKKKK

S...so the creature lifecycle challenge, it was fun to see all of you put your imagination into work, there's one particular fishlike creature I really liked and I can see interacting with mine in the same environment.

Choobs needs to stop responding to b8

>>2573392
fuck no how time consuming.

>>2573449
The Hound Locust was my favorite, there were other concepts which I hope the artists responsible for continue to work on.
Talking about that.
You, you know who you are, your creature is missing your usual walls of text and ridiculous amount of supplements, get to it, hopefully within the next year.

>Have to delete a layer I spent at least an hour working on because it turned out to be trash

>>2573449
eddcer and mal killed it

>>2573487
yeah, pretty much, many artists gave up as soon as they realized how much work they had to do, and phoned it in, and those who tried their best fell short due to time mismanagement.

>>2573362
It looks like an acorn because a real heart is separated into chambers. You just drew one solid mass. You tried, but you don't actually know what a heart looks like. I'm sorry.

>>2573392
I'll try just for you anon.

Just a heads-up larrex, it's spelled "sense," not "sence." But I appreciate all of the effort you put into coming up with how the animal works.

>>2573491
this is true but im still impressed by the solid amount of people that churned out some actually pretty good shit

>>2573487
I dug lokki's too. Something fit for /x/ creepypasta.

>Tfw don't no if I'm improving or if I've been bashing my head into a meme littered wall for the past 6 months
>tfw too afraid to ask at this point

>>2573509
The technical execution of the creature is real good, one of the very best if not the best, sadly the concept is devoid of anything else, its shallow, He was the first to submmit I wish he had taken an extra day to polish his concept and develop it further.
I repeat Lokkis work is real good, bless him.

>>2573523

>>2573552
That 25 days deadline was honestly kind of stupidly.

>>2573552
haven't even started tbqhwy

>>2573543
I doubt this will result in any kind of proper feedback as the weeks roll on and people stop bothering, not a single artist shares the same goals and or approach towards reaching those goals, artist A dedicates plenty of its time to perfecting gestures by doing several quick sketches a day, artist B prefers to put all of his effort and knowledge into a single piece of artwork over several days, these are just examples, two of many variables, seeing an improvement on their body of work over large periods of time would requiere someone smart enough to hold back their bias and understand the current approach and goal of those he is criticizing.
Good luck though, I would hate to see wathever you are trying to do turn into a source of high amounts of drama.

They're all week1 but aside from that it was random. I tried to include people who don't get too many mentions. Everyone will get mentioned eventually tho so not trying to start shit.
>>2573588

It's literally a yes or no question phams. What kind of shit will be started? Either you say someone improved or they didn't and that's that. I thought it'd be helpful for people to see if they've made visible improvement or not. If you don't wanna be mentioned just say so.

Alright faggot, enjoy my orphanage.

Close your eyes for a while, just imagine whatever. Stay like that for at least a few minutes, meditate. Then open your eyes. The world around you looks so crisp and vibrant and fresh, doesn't it? Capture that. Learn it and put it in your art.

>>2573655
>Close your eyes
It makes it so much easier.

How do you think people did with showing the aging process of their creature? I feel like that was the core of what the challenge was about, did you find any to really be convincing or believable? Or not?

>>2573588
>tfw your name isn't a meme name

>>2573659
Most of those who worked with humanoid like creatures did a good job, mainly because it was easier to convey age in a creature that's closer to us in apparence.

Lokki Did the absolute best, every stage feels very distinctive, age is perfectly conveyed through pose and gesture, a master of his craft.

Dopamine's critters are rated curious looking fellas, they are pretty cute even when battle worn, too bad he mismanaged his time, it shows real bad, the creatures he got to render look lovely though.

Caylak did a great job, but one more stage could have sealed the deal, the further decay of his creature could have been horrific, otherwise real good, if not just a tiny bit generic (I doubt he was aiming for groundbreaking end fantasy anyway).

MikeLeWatt Memed too hard.

None of them wrote in-depth about their creatures neither provided us with engaging supplementary material, so I rank them all with pic related.

Try harder next time.

Looking through my stuff made me realize how little i experiment with painting from imagination (out of fear of it not being ideal), sooooooooo many boring stuff uploaded throughout the months. I did a couple of decent color studies from masters a while ago and hell if i know why i didn't instantly apply them to some speed paintings from imagination. Challenges helped to break the ice though, now i'm going to finish at least 1 colored painting each week.
At least the constant grinding of faces made me a little bit better at them - http://i.imgur.com/coRGGHp.jpg

>>2573500
Oh right. Thanks, i repeated the same mistake again though and started too late. Gonna remake all the gestures describing actions and add some 3/4 views.
Also, do you guys think that Mal's submission ( http://imgur.com/7fDGsBR ) is close to the level of the portfolio entry? I want to further develop mine and that seems like a good goal.

Alekiel, i wonder what that glowing white symbol on the side of your creature is. Looks pretty original, is the creature itself represent some kind of elemental? (Judging from those rocky formations).

Soroneir, absolutely loved looking through your submission, that's like watching a documentary. It also looks like a portfolio level piece (for some sandbox rpg/survival) if only you added some rendering.

SantiChasca, the hatchling phase looks awesome, one of my favorite designs of the challenge. That greenish collar is so pleasant to look at.
>Not gonna lie I spent all day playing D&D sorry slump

nice study tabascoshrimp
Your should ditch the line art layer or keep working over on top of it and brush out the linework. Sharp lines tend to distract the eye and they always dart towards and attract it.

I would also experiment with some softer edge brushes for areas that you want out of focus, the hard edge brush is good for areas you like attention to but be careful of teh low opacity as you can end up with "spaghetti effect" rendering.

>>2573874
are you ever going to finish that Link drawing anytime this year?

>>2573869
Lol Scotland will just cuck you out like they did themselves

>>2573878
I start a project fumble in an area (like say feet or the tree) then i spend a week studying legs,feet, tree or whatever then come back to the drawing.

It's been working kinda well since it forces me out of a comfort zone of doing torsos and faces and into more background work which is my weakness. It sucks seeing others doing great landscapes and i shit out as i try my hand at it.

Come to think of it i rarely see Rapoza do good bgs...

>>2573778

Actually I've been thinking about moving over to twitch. Mainly because the audience on picarto is too fucking weird, it's not really an environment that i'd like to be in. Everyone is constantly drawing and talking about the weirdest fucking shit. The streamers here are actually the sanest fucking people i've met. Taking a stroll through the many streams of picarto has taught me this.

>>Miss a day and you lose a token, FAQ is the first post.

Lose a token, what does this mean?
It's not in the FAQ. Do tokens count towards something?

>>2574078
Token is your "safety net", it allows you to skip 1 day (maybe because of unforeseen circumstances) and still remain in the challenge. It recharges once a month.

>>2574078
good point, it should be added to the FAQ somewhere

When you miss a day you get eliminated from your week challenge, but if you have a token you lose the token instead of being eliminated. Every user has 1 token and your token will respawn exactly 30 days after it is lost (if you lose it).

the only thing you're proving by replying is that your ego is over the roof, the notion that anything done by you is questioned by some pedestrian annoys you, especially since your belief in the amount of work and learning you've done so far skews your perception of yourself in terms of worth

I do also have a Kill Yourself folder though which fills up a little more each day.

come play overwatch anon! It's really a lot of fun.

Undertale, if you ignore the fandom, is a decent game with good music if you have 6 hours to spare.

At the very least, I hope you're playing or doing something fun. Enjoying games can help fuel desire to create.

Unless you play league of legends. That will just slowly kill you.

So is reading books, watching movies, everything on netflix, having conversations on the internet, having conversations with friends or family, adopting a pet, exercising, cooking, etc.

If you spend all of your time on just one thing, no matter what it is, you'll start to feel your days get shorter and you'll begin to hate the things you love.

We all "waste time" in one way or another, it's best to do it in a way that's not excessive and makes you feel good.

This tbqh senpai. Obvioussly vidya addiction is bad but I don't see what the problem is in moderation. Especially for stuff like RPGs or story based games where you get immersed into the world and get exposed to lots of different shit. Different strikes for different folks but you can't just dismiss an entire medium as a waste of time.

>feeling so sleepy after eating

I really can't... looks like you've gotta quit... huh...

plsbeweek1

As someone who doesn't play videogames (just can't get into it, it bores me), videogames actually aren't a waste of time. I noticed that gamers are exposed to way more different ways of designing everything, and they're way better at drawing things if they try. The difference between the shitty artist who games and a good artist who games is that the former just plays games while oblivious to all the design in front of him, while the good artist pays attention to what he sees and practices the fundamentals. One is braindead, the other actually thinks.

I am actually thinking about picking up a game with designs I like, just to get more exposed to the art.

>>2574357
Try out Darksiders or Brink if you're into character design, and Bioshock for enviros.

>>2574357

OFF is a great example of a game with cohesive and surreal aesthetic design but average gameplay. I'd recommend checking that one out.
Plus, it's free.

>>2574307
You can listen to audiobooks and watch movies while drawing. You can even have phone or skype conversations while drawing.

When you play games, you get the same benefit you would from other things, but you can't draw while you're playing. In that regard it's a waste of time.

/2cents.

>>2574367

I don't like multitasking like that aside from music + focused activity, and even then sometimes it can be distracting.

You're not engaged in either activity. For instance, if you have an animated film playing while you're drawing, you can't seriously examine and appreciate the content, animation and design while simultaneously being focused on the things you're drawing. Additionally, your mind will be partially engaged with what's happening in the movie than your art. It's not just white noise, it's fighting for your attention.

>>2574346
>Just wake up

>>2574393

I don't know if I'm in any place to talk as a beginner, but I think those paint-like marker pens are much better for capturing gesture and sharp value than trying to draw locations accurately. Like fuck, look at those sculptures(?) and that sign.

>>2574393
*sighs* looks like the 30 minute police are at it again *begrudingly unzips katana*

Anyone going to stream?

>>2574396
I agree, I use them a lot and they are not the best option for non-organic shapes.
Anyway, they are pretty good for doing quick drawings, I'm sure Frog could have done that image in ten minutes.

It's looking like it at this point. From the outside, it looks like a pretty stupid thing to do, considering the benefits are pretty much worse trade deals with EU nations and a shallow feeling of independence.

>>2574875
I have, twice i think. Considering Ive been participating since week 3 its nothing too crazy really.

Hey as a newbie, would it be a better idea to stream to get feedback, or should I rather just draw things and post on /ic/?

Either way works for me, as long as it's a quick way to improve and get my weak points out of the way.

>>2574918
both, you can do both, stream and get crit from anyone that pops their head in and lends it, and post your work in the beginner/whatever thread for crit from anyone else on /ic/

Either that or they're low efforting like hell, doesn't make sense tho cause they usually stream for a few hours every now and then. Is it Loomis?
