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.

Well, I quit for good /las/.

I just don't see the point. Art is too hard. You would think it would be easy.

If you think about it logically people have been doing art from the dawn of humanity. Art is too brutal, going to stick to programming and maths. Maybe, I can earn a living with programming.

Never gonna make it.

>>2601081
I too realize I can do far better in programming and maths but every time I attempt to jump into it the calling to draw again comes back and I can't make up my mind.

Just an idea, you can pull a zun and just make art for the sake of using your own assets for a game you can make. It's kind of what the MoatDD guy did.

fuck off wait you know what nvm you're pretty much contained in this thread

don't make me catch you outside this filth pen

>>2601093

Well, you need a pretty big IQ to do Mathematics or Computer Science or Physics.

Most art people or people who study art have low IQs.

Also, do people even find this stimulating. Grinding drawabox exercises, then drawing from Loomis. Just seems like you are just copying from nature.

>>2601111
>pretending to be retarded
>quads
nigger just crashed the thread

>>2601114
Heh. You'll never get dubs while I'm in charge, remember?

>>2601117
Grinding is step 1

>>2601116
>*Unsheathes katana*

>>2601117
I've literally never studied Loomis or any of those drawing books. I'm not the best, but I'm better than some. Art doesn't have to be a dry, boring grind unless you make it one.

>>2601117
>copying from nature
you mean like science?

>>2601121
Then comes the blowjob, yes?

>>2601124
R E K T

>>2601127
oh look, another fucking retard.
I'll let you know I have a physics major so you better shut the fuck up boy. I'm doing this as a hobby while I earn more than twice what you will ever earn in your whole life drawing like a slave for a company.

>>2601121

But, grind for how long. I can't grind 5 hours of drawabox or Scott Robertson or Loomis.

This is so fucking stupid and autistic. You would think doing calculus problems would be boring, but at least you have to think.

>>2601123

Feng Zhu says the opposite. Thousands of hours of grinding.

>>2601129
O_O

>>2601117

> IQ

I'm not doubting the findings of this graph, because IQ is strong at evaluating a person's overall ability to identify patterns, do abstract thinking and analysis.

But intelligence is deeper than a single arbitrary number. There are many forms of intelligence, from motor ability and muscle memory (useful in athletics/gaming), social intelligence (picking up on queues, understanding interpersonal interactions, articulation), visual acumen (inherent ability to quickly break down visual stimuli), auditory acumen (ditto for sound), and so on and so forth.

The brain is fucking complicated as fuck. You can't just categorize an individual's mind by a number that evaluates only one facet of its "skillset".

>>2601136
t. butthurt with low IQ

>>2601130
If it takes you a thousand hours to learn something, you need to re-evaluate how you're studying.

>>2601117

I'm a studying engineer and I find both art and engineering stimulating in different ways. Grinding itself isn't fun, but a real, observable sense of your own improvement is immensely satisfying. Art is compelling because it's so much harder than everything else, even if you're smart. You can't learn art the way you learn math or programming. It's like exercise. It technically hurts, but it's challenging and makes you a stronger person, so you just keep doing it.

>>2601138

Quite the opposite actually.
I'm a computer scientist struggling at art. Math is second nature to me. Something as simple as Loomis is fucking intimidating as shit.

> no such thing as talent

Yes, I understand, but specialized intelligence does play a role. If you grind ANYTHING hard enough, though, you'll probably end up decent at it. Hence why I'm here.

>>2601151

>>2601139
are you retarded? It takes countless hours to get good at anything.
>>2601130
>I can't grind 5 hours of drawabox or Scott Robertson or Loomis.
Then you're not gonna make it. And what do you mean you have to think for math? It's literally following the same pair of steps just with different numbers every time. If you can't grind at something for a couple hours then you're just not gonna make it famalam.

Since we all seem to be sharing: Another programmer here trying to learn art. I got into art because I found myself doodling and drawing stuff in my free time. I enjoy it, but also was a bit frustrated that I couldn't achieve what I imagined in my mind on paper or in a painting program. So I decided to start actively learning art.

It's funny actually, the things I learned through programming apply really well to art. Take a big problem (how do I make shit I want to make?) and break it down into smaller parts. Keep doing that until you get to a level where the parts are manageable. Do those parts. Eventually you'll have enough built up that you can finally tackle that major problem and solve it. The grind isn't always fun (neither is programming), but I do enjoy applying what I've learned and knowing I'm one step closer to my goal.

>>2601089
I'd say it's better to upload them one by one. That way people can see as you progress, right now the challenges feel a little dead because you just get a burst of submissions at the last second so you can't really take them all in.

man, las always feels so much bigger than it really is. That's probably partly because everything is anon so you don't realize that you're talking to the same handful of people every time.

>>2601184

This isn't a forum unfortunately. You have discord for conversation, no? (-:

Last time I checked this board was called artwork and critique and I see no artwork in this thread nor critique. Just a couple of samefriends talking to each other.

>>2601187
Around 90-100 people average post in the threads (check the last thread) and around 100 people are active on LAS, it's pretty bang on consistent.

The problem is the last thread max at 700ish replies. The 70 people that come to this thread eventually probably don't hang out here as much as the same 16-18 people who make up the majority of the posts--the vocal minority so to speak.

>>2601170
3 posts each average is pretty good for these threads tbqhfamilia.

Though of course a bunch will be the shitposters filling the thread with samefag, and then a few people who only post once.

What do you guys think of our lovely new /las/sies? We've got 16 new recruits so far in this week and last. I usually use the active page to check out fresh faces since it's hard to spot them in the tons of thumbnails. http://lavaflake.com/draw/active.php

Candycone and ukanon have some solid life drawing in already, and I feel like solyomkuu is yet to reveal their power level.

Also we just passed 500 people who have signed up, GG. Even though most are already dead, it's the thought that counts.

>>2601234
I don't really work out for mass anyway. I'm a runner.

>>2601229
>>2601236

I dont really recommend GOMAD unless you're finding it really impossible to gain weight. It'll get you the protein and calories you need but it's much better to just have a normal diet. /fit/ says soy milk isn't great for muscle mass because of estrogen or something.

If you're a runner then holy shit no eat good carbs vegetables and lean proteins

>>2601229
it's just a meme. Get enough protein a day it doesn't matter how you get it. Soymilk is fine and has a good amount of it.

cow milk can sometimes cause bad acne in people anyway. I know a couple bodybuilder friends who got off it and their skin cleared up perfectly in around a month.

>>2601236
runnerman?

>>2601238
>/fit/ says soy milk isn't great for muscle mass because of estrogen

It's funny because studies have conclusively shown there is no correlation between soy and increased estrogen but they HAVE shown a correlation between dairy milk and estrogen.

With apologies to AAphk and Lokki respectively, I'd like to hear your feedback on the challenge I made.

Was it useful to you? Did you end up learning something valuable, or drawing more effectively/productively? Did you get some insight in how people perceive your weaknesses? Or was it ultimately a waste of your time?

I don't know what four plate means, but at the time I weighed 115-ish, and squated with around 200 on my shoulders at max.

>>2601325
That's part of the toned look really, but I'm talking more about the way that you can see definition, and his muscles were hardened, but they were torn down rather than built up.

Basically, to work towards tone, or strength without bulk, I just did more reps per set than somebody who wanted to gain mass/bulk.

so i posted 3 things over the course of the past week and unfortunately, my computer completely bricked itself. i'm doing traditional art and stuff now but i'm not sure how often i'll be able to upload and if i'm even able to do it through my phone.

That's because if I don't like a layer I just delete it, I did one of them with all the layers turned on to show what wasn't being seen, this last submission was all detailing and edges.

>>2601461
I was looking at ref, and binge watching a movie. Granted it wasn't 5 hours of extreme work but I can assure you I spent all evening working on the damn book and it's infuriating to get accused of low effort when I've worked more than usual. It was also mostly messing with the layers, tweaking things, experimenting, etc

>>2601462

Cath:

Anatomy is your biggest weakness. If you want to keep drawing figures, learning anatomy is not optional. Your figures are coming out flat and cartoony because you don't know how the underlying muscles work. You have some head studies in your gallery but it doesn't come across in your imagined work. Make sure you're actually applying what you're studying and not just copying.

If you're still working on that commission, refer to pic related. Have a solid foundation before you start any color work or you're dooming yourself from the beginning.

I'm not sure if you fully understand the concept of symbol drawing. You berate yourself for symbol drawing in the past, but you continue to do it. Chances are, if you don't have to think about the placement of something before drawing it, you're probably symbol drawing.

>extra advice if you're still in school
Learn the fuck out of everything while you're there. Forget your other hobbies. Continue studying outside of your regular assignments or you'll never get anywhere. Best to do it now while you have people who are paid to help you succeed.

Fucking drawing today went from a cool 25min to an hour because FUCKING HAND ANATOMY

Well, I guess I have finally been eliminated from week 1. I drew today too, just forgot to post.That's how I lost just about every token too. I'll rejoin when the week 28 starts up.

>>2601714
Did you upload it anywhere? You can ask Lava for his most gracious forgiveness.

Either way, gllad to hear you're sticking with it.

how come only one or two of you post crits? More of you fucks need to pitch in.

In exactly 4 hours, I'm going on vacation for basically a month and a half. During all that travel, I'm gonna do my best to keep drawing everyday, and attempting to upload it to LAS.

It's been real. Thanks for all the help and shitposting.

Good luck and pbwo

I don't think anyone should try and force themselves to crit something the're not knowledgeable about just for the sake of it, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of replies to people that directly ask for feedback.

https://picarto.tv/aimai

Quick question, can I join LAS if I'm a shitty beginner that can only post shitty construction and gesture studies?

>>2601756
90% of the us are shitty beginners that can only post shitty construction and gesture studies.

>>2601758
That's good, then.

I guess I'll join.

How does week 10 have more participants than week 11?

>>2601276
I don't think I improved very significantly, but it did force me to study something that's made me uncomfortable in the past, and I'm definitely more comfortable with it now. So yeah, I think it was useful.

>>2601584
I would do the challenge again, but like the other anon said, wait until there's a dearth of challenges so people will be more able to give it their full focus, and will be more inclined to join it.

>>2601763
Looks like a display bug. If you open up the challenge and count everyone in week 10, it is one less than the challenge overview page suggests. Also, it says choob has 250 submissions for that week. Maybe he ate someone and absorbed their work.

>>2601728
No, I didn't. It's fine though I knew it was inevitable, this is like the third time I've done this. I just didn't have a token this time. I have been kind of lazy lately so I'm going to take a couple days off and reevaluate my art goals and make some changes to how I've been studying.

>>2601820
>getting out of w1 actually helps you improve
There it is ladies and gents. Lava is making you all stagnate and repeat the same mistakes over and over again so he can cut down on competition. How many times has he been eliminated? Exactly, he doesn't give a fuck about w1 because he knows the truth. Quit now and you will see massive gains my friends, massive gains.

>>2601539
Thank you very much for the critique, I'll study more.

Why is there so much petty fag-drama in these threads? Are you all women or what? Why can't you just draw and leave each other alone? You're anonymous for Christ's sake, how could you even get antagonized by anything?

>>2601855

>>2601856
You're just proving my point

>>2601855
>Are you all women or what?
wow really?

>>2601863
Your point was that you're spewing shit trying to bait people into more "petty fag-drama"?

I don't see much drama in these threads. Take your bait elsewhere please.

>>2601855
Funny enough from experience I found women from LAS to be rather mature and chill compared to some guys.

W-what have you done to me? Am I cursed? How do I fix this? It happens if I try to fap early too, I just don't feel anything unless I've drawn for 3 hours.

>>2601971
Damn dude, sounds like a dream come true.

>>2601947
I'm sorry, I love you, but there can only be one.

I remember last year I went abroad in a third world place and I stayed in a place where the toilet was a hole, so for two weeks I didn't poop.
I still wonder how that was remotely possible, when I eventually went back to a hotel and was able to poo at my luxury, it wasn't even a lot.
Anyway, those are my thoughts of the day

>>2602011
err

I have a hard time coming up with things to draw, so I've made up a fake game that I'll never make, and now I'm making concept art for it. How autistic am I?

>>2602035
Who knows, maybe one day you're gonna make it.

>>2602037
I can, with 100% confidence, say that I will absolutely NEVER make it.

Thanks, I'm out of town but I'll take a look at it when I get back.

Guess I'll ask you guys too; Any tips on thumbailing / practising environments?

Really starting to feel like I don't know what I'm doing with these..

>>2602035
That's not autistic, that's smart.
How better to train concept art than by doing concept art?
Of course it would be better yet if someone else was telling you what to draw.

>>2602141
Guys, please I really need advice on this

>>2602141
Are these yours? The top left is absolutely gorgeous.

tfw you need to do the arts but you're not feeling it and work pressure is making it hard to focus

>>2602141
It sucks, next

>>2602179
It's not his. Do you really think someone in this shithole could make something like that?

>>2602179
They are. the two in the top left are master studies tho, from Moran Thomas.

>>2602184
You can make it anon-chan! Don't give up!

>>2602190
Thomas Moran*, first is called "Cliff Dwellers the other is "White Mountains.

>>2602187
Why do you think I'm asking.

>>2602141
I think you're focusing on details too much. The main purpose of thumbnails is to find cool shapes and compositions. I recommend using only a few values first (3-5) and work without zooming in, so you deal only with the big picture.
Look at those examples and squint your eyes - they all have a clear and simple value read:
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/333336809902074524/
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/416934877983145589/
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/434808539003546192/

One fun way to generate ideas is to work from abstract - you can use a couple of textured brushes and make lots of quick random strokes with them (using different values). After that look at what you've done and you'll see lots of cool shapes and ideas there (one seemingly abstract part will resemble a castle, the other one a bird, you get the idea. It's like how people see different animals and such in cloud shapes).
Here's an example of this method using blurred and transformed photos instead of textured brushes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-l9kNXAeGQ

>>2602179
Top left is a master study.

>>2602210
Exactly the kind of advice I was looking for and more. Thanks a ton man, I have a lot of weird brushes saved so I'l get started right away.

Let's talk about the Achilles' Heel challenge. Are you happy of how your assigned user worked? did you find your own assignment useful?

I can't wait to paint my self portrait today to be honest

I miss Tatara :^(

>do huston challenge
>constantly think his writing style isn't as good as Loomis'

>>2602217
My challenge was useful, it definitely expanded my comfort zone.

My user didn't put in quite as much effort as I had hoped, but I did get him doing things that he perhaps hasn't done before, and it looks like it was still useful to him.

So overall, I'm pleased with the challenge's outcome.

>>2602217
muh diccckkk!!!

anywhere I can get Figure Drawing for Artists free?

>>2602280
Check the archives for the old Book thread, someone kindly uploaded and linked it there iirc

>>2602217
Not really, he didn't actually do what I assigned. I had a ton of stuff suddenly come up too, so I couldn't do more than a few perspective studies. They were okay, but really really basic, and I don't think that I learned all that much from it.

>>2602285
thanks!

>>2602217
GAH I DIDNT REALIZE IT CLOSED FUCK

ill still post what i did later i guess

>>2602320
How long ago did it close? I just uploaded it, do you guys think if i asked lava he would add the link to the challenge? Its not like i uploaded it like two days later.

Anyone know why photoshop brushpacks suddenly all get their settings reset to the same settings on all of them? Keeps happening and I have to replace all of them to get their settings back.

>>2602356
Fuuuuck this is annoying. I load up some brush packs and they all have individual settings, but after using them for a tiny bit all of the brushes just copy whatever settings the brush I used had. Not even loading the brushes in again works actually, I have to reset photoshop and THEn reload to get their settings back. Fuck this shit how am I supposed to work. Google isn't helping either.

>>2602374
Nevermind, didn't know you actually had to click the brushes in the "brush preset" panel and not in the brush panel.

Guys, can you please critique the foreshortening/proportions of the figure on the left? I'm happy with the pose in general, but it would be great to get it right anatomically (as much as it's possible with stylized character).

Depressing blog.
http://artygoodness.blogspot.com/

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU???

why do people make blogs? I'm genuinely asking, not trying to antagonize anyone. I know lava has one and he shares a lot about his life on there but maybe 1 or 2 people will read it. Is it just therapeutic to write about your day? Why post it online? For real tho, I'm just curious cause I dont understand it not trying to bully

Going through peoples facebook accounts its clear to see why you faggots suck so hard. You niggers play waaay too many video games.

>>2602559
because a diary is nothing new, even if noone reads it.
this is dumb

save me lava, you are my only hope

>>2602559
Its a way to get attention, just like the shitposters in these threads.

>>2602559
I had to make a blog for my uni course, part of the end of term marking would be the tutors going through your blog to see if you tried new things and made regular updates, kind of like showing your working in maths.

Imo Tumblr is better than Imgur for LAS uploads because you can still link straight to the image but if you want to see the past few posts you can just scroll through them instead of having to open each one in a new tab.

>>2602571
>instead of having to open each one in a new tab.
this, much prefer the archive overview to having to opening several dozen tabs
