I wish I had something like this.

>>3413805
I wish I were fucking dead

>>3413729
>perspective without pain
Kek

>>3413729
my desk broke so i need to get a new one. Here's araki's desk though

>>3413846
Kek, I've never read it. one of many art books my teacher gave me.

This is my station.

>>3413883
oh yeah, I forgot this is /ic/ where only 1% of the posters create non-digital art.

>>3413870
>that pinup calendar araki mentions as "being fond of"

>>3413870
looks pretty comfy.

>>3413883
>no mousepad
Why do you do this

>>3413973
I replaced those puny mouse support pads for steel bearings.
No need for a mousepad anymore.
>>3413918
I do traditional art also, What do you think the drawers hold?
I like my workspace clean and lean.

>>3413980
>I replaced those puny mouse support pads for steel bearings.
What, you can do that? That's insane.

>>3413987
Have you seen that shit next to the screen?
That's my HAL9000.

>>3413994
can you tell us more about this. I love diy stuff.

i'm beg tier but here's my setup.

>>3414194
This is one fancy set up. The ultimate set up. Turn-turn-turn. Also are those chairs a meme? I see them too often to think they're legit.

>>3414194
>wondering where the switch is
>see it
That's freaking awesome. Didn't know they had a tool for that.

>>3414201
i've bought my dx racer like 4 years ago, it's worth it but for the price and how many brands they are now, you are better off buying office chairs on clearance/craigslist.

something like a herman miller/steelcase leap, they are expensive but the herman millers can be bought for cheap if you hunt one down from those businesses that sell them. ( I believe $400?)

it's well worth the cost since those chairs will last for pretty much forever and the dxracer i have now still works besides the seat showing wear n tear, ur back will thank you plus

>>3414194
Looks pretty nice.

Such is life

>>3415147
This guy doesn't fuck

>>3415147
this makes me think you have daddy long legs living in every crevice. please say it isn't so.

>>3415149
>>3415216
?

>>3415219
the room looks like its in a fairly old building, so more places for spiders to hide. and I'm afraid of spiders, especially daddy long legs/harvesters.

nicely rustic looking setup, otherwise.

>>3415147

>>3415216
No spiders here

>>3415147
Nice paintings anon, and pretty comfy set up

>>3415333
Thanks

>>3415221
Daddy long legs aren't spiders. they are mites. they don't bite humans, friend
t. daddy long legs

>>3415389
If anything, they’re less scary-looking than web spiders.

>>3415398
>tfw have webs in the corners of the room but see no spider
>never even see them spin the webs

>>3415400
That's because you're sitting on him. he's moved into you computer chair.

>>3415389

>t. daddy long legs
anything spider-like (long appendages) makes my skin crawl for some reason, even if they are harmless. like crane flies, goddamn flying daddy long legs.

>>3415418
yeah, I fucking hate them too. but I especially HATE wolf spiders. when I lived in swampy ass florida, those fuckers would get into my old house all the time, and the damn thing were like 6 inches wide.. AHHHHH

>>3414194
>wowicleanedmyfuckingroom.jpg
And yet you missed your chair.

>>3415617
jissom stained DX racer.

>>3415617
It's clean retard, those are tears and cracks. You can't get rid of those.

>whatcablemanagement.jpg

Those are my orbweaver keybindings on the glass board.

>>3415821
I too understand the struggles of overheating.

>>3415821
Where did you get that board my dude

>>3415883

I had the contractor make that for me when he was renovating the house. It's just a piece of glass with blue painted on one side.

I got the idea from this glassboard maker https://www.clarus.com/build/, but obviously they messed up the color (was supposed to be lighter blue like in the site).

You can probably DIY it yourself if you can't have it delivered.

What are some luxury or expensive things you wish you could have for your setup that you can't afford? Or how about that top artists get that you would like.

I'd like an adjustable desk and better lighting.

>>3415821
I love glass whiteboards. or I guess in your case a blue board.

>>3415918
I would love a professional architects drafting table. a giant glass palette table like Eric Fischl has. a large open space with good lighting. a top of the line Iwata airbrush and compressor. an artograph prism opaque projector. god. thats just what I can think up off the top of my head. I would kill for even one of those things man.

>>3415821
Anon, what tablet model is that? What is its size?

>>3416739

It's an older Wacom Cintiq 13"

https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Cintiq-Interactive-Display-DTK1300/dp/B00BSOSCNE?th=1

>>3413837
That can be arranged.

>>3414194
That’s really fucking nice, but also funny as shit. I have the same OW mousepad. Maybe I’ll post mine after I clean up, got finals to wrap up.

>>3415821
I wish they made wireless nostromos

>>3416907
Thanks, it looks comfortable if you don't have that much space.

Finally got a Wacom Cintiq 24HD after nearly a decade of working with a Cintiq 12WX.

>>3420687
holy fuck that cintiq is massive

>>3415389
nah mate, you're probably thinking of harvestmen vs cellar spiders

these are common as fuck in dusty crevices around here

>>3420742
Fuck off with the spider talk

>>3415221
here the daddy long legs kill venomous spiders, so you'd probably come to like them. although though i find it a bit sad when all the garden spiders and redbacks and such get wiped out by a wave of daddy long legs. some spiders live a long time so after years of seeing the same spider in your window it's uncool when one day it's being cocooned by a daddy long legs.

My makeshift studio

>>3420699
Weighs a ton too.

>>3420687
Got one of those in the closet here, swapped it out for a 27QHD when that came out. Screen quality has gotten much better, but sometimes I miss the buttons and touch wheel on the side.

>>3420687

>>3413729
why do you call it a shitty studio? looks good enough

>>3420845
its just not nearly as good as the huge garage studio I used to have.

>>3420772
You would hang up your own art.

Messy but comfy

>>3421588
Do you actually reread all of those books all the time?

desk and tablet bought with a single freelance job i got in January

>>3421594
i mean, ive read most of them a few times, if i need to sleep i just grab one

>>3421595
Is that Sakimichan? Good taste.

Motherfucker, what kind of job was it? I have an active comm right now for a $140 illustration but usually i get $40-60 gigs.

>>3413729

Here's my workspace...

>>3421662
children's book, $4k in total, I think it contained about 20 illustrations in realistic style

>>3421690
What kind of paint is that?

>>3421692

Uv reactive and fluorescent acrylics

>>3421644
>CREATE FOLIO FOR IPAD PRO 9.7 AND 12.9 INCH

I enjoy it, it's good for travel, and the keyboard feels pretty good.

>>3413729
Here is my apartment '''studio'''. Moving in to a garage with someone else soon. Will have more space.

>>3421801

>>3421691
>children's book
>realistic style
Can you post of example of something like it

I just use my kitchen table

>>3421812
like the new illustrated harry potter books

>>3421837
Psst, you only got 4k for a Harry Potter deal? Dumb artist, getting ripped off!

>>3421840
no lol, it's an example of the style

My pochade box set up, it's in this room with my PC & I can't be bothered to go & photo anything else.

>>3420772
You're meant to read those books, and actually learn something about art for once.
Not use them as cushions.

>>3421690
You're a girl.

Here's where I make all my very generic art work. as you can see here I am a very small man, so I have to sit ontop of that pile of books to be able to reach the canvas.

>>3423454
At least i'm trying to do something, anon!

>>3424671

Do you save the kneeling setup exclusively for Japanese calligraphy?

>>3425706
nah, it's fine.

there's a power tower literally right beside the setup.

it's cramped if there's more than one person here, i will admit. but that's not the point of my room.

the point of the room is to basically put me in the centre and all the things that matter are near me.

art, video games and working out, all can be arranged with a simple turn.

>>3426765
comfy

no bully

>>3427673
That's one high-def screen. No reflection either. What's that over your keyboard though?

>>3426312
Saw you in the other thread, nice clean, simple set up and books. What's your end goal?

>>3427682
>What's that over your keyboard
some kind of keyboard anti-dust cover

>>3427673
Cool dragons

>>3427673
I have seen something similar used to cover the keyboard while you lay your tablet on top. to disable the keyboard and protect it. also holds your tablet in place.

>>3427686
Thank you. I haven't really got a goal, i simply want to get better. The best would be to make a living out of it but for now i want to make little money. Artist-wise my end goal would be Halil Ural or Wei Feng

(Pic related, by Halil Ural)

What's the most comfortable setup for a laptop and small wacom intuos?

I'm uncomfortable with the screen thats too far and having a hard time making lines with tablet on the side.

>>3427941
Get back to your cubicle anon, that dual setup of Eizo CRT weren't cheap for the company.

That 1280 dots and 1024 lines ain't gonna color themselves.

Mason jars are high capacity, sturdy and cheap.

I use a jar for my water and a shotglass as an inkwell.

>>3433826
exactly. I use old tomato jars for everything. paint. water. linseed oil. they are great.

>>3434140
what does that have to do with that room being a man's?

Does anyone have tips on storing T-squares, rulers, templates and other large flat tools?

>>3413729
how bout we try instead draw what we wished our studio looked liked?

cleaned most it up right before this cause I had like 4 coffee cups there

>>3435575
Looks very comfy. Who's the poster of on the left? What kind of coffee do you drink? And how's that light? That's quite unique.

>>3435580
Poster is of Jessica Nigri, picked it up at a con a a few years back. I'm not a coffee prude so basically anything with coffee beans is good for me (but fuck tim hortons). Also yeah, the light is pretty cool. It's touch activated and has that modern look so I thought I would pick it up. Think I found it at a Winnners?

>>3434613
yes to both.

>>3416910

>an artograph prism opaque projector.

I have one of those, in storage. Need to get it out, I've been meaning to convert it to LED (it's an old one with traditional bulbs), and put a tightening screw on the focusing mechanism. They're not that expensive, you must be pretty fucking broke. I've seen them go used for $100.

>>3420687
Nice, I have a 24HD. Get rid of that shitty stand, get a dual monitor arm and a VESA adapter set like I did, for more movement and angles and not having that massive base on your desk. It's like 8 screws to get it off.

>>3421690
I kind of judge people who don't wash their palettes, and get them all crudded up like that.

And day glo paint. Definitely judge that shit.

>>3431872
You need more light. I can't even imagine trying to seriously approach values in that low light. You want your work area - and all of it, not just the paper, to be as close to daylight as possible. Two $20 swing arms with much longer reach than your bedside light, with daylight LEDs would be a good start.
I don't really take lighting into consideration with those doing digital, but the lack of progress on values here in this forum is easily explained when you guys show your workspaces. You need light, and lots of it, to do art. Two light sources, 45 degrees from the work surface on each side is a minimum - and it's not expensive to do. Hell, I got two daylight LED bulbs on sale the other day for $6, and I have a couple swing arm lights in the closet for my easel, and two on my drafting table.

>>3437473

Do you use the iPad as a screen tablet for your PC? If so what app do you use/how is it?

>>3437473
That’s a funky looking chair, I like it. Is it comfy?

>>3425736
How do you like your Huion?

>>3443600
No, I draw on Procreate. I just put the iPad there because I like the desk

But you can use an app called Duet to do what you asked, it works for Windows PCs as well as Mac. There's also Astropad but I think it only works on Mac.

The computer is in a seperate room, but here's where I do all the traditional work.

Also, don't know if it's obvious from pic, but the desk converts into a drafting table.

>>3445689
Best set up posted so far. I like your paint hangers

>>3445689
Won't your paints dry up faster?

>>3445706
Thanks! It's just made of foamboard, pushpins, and binder clips.

>>3446048
I don't think so. They display paint upright at the art store and I haven't heard of any problems.

>>3445323
you are acutally retarded, why would i use rubbing alcohol as lubricant? this is to clean up my workspace and the paper towels are for my inks.
>>3445475
i thought this is a board that has artists in it? your observational skills are poor, those are tear marks and paint on the chair.

NGMI, anon.

P happy with my setup what do you think anons?

>>3446266
get a good background
and gimme that buck

>>3445550
Lighting is important, from day one. Plus, it's bad for the eyes to draw in dim light.

>>3446266
Fuck it, I'm a broken record - you need better lighting.

>>3446266

Shit's dusty, get a rag in there.

>>3446496
It's better when the sun is shining, but yeah I need a new fixture.

>>3446499
Shit gets dusty fast. It's a losing battle.

>>3446268
No

Planning to replace the far monitor with a mount for my cintiq.

>>3446494
The lamp you see on the picture is more than sufficient I assure you
I used to work in dim lightning, not going back to that

>>3446494
Are colored lights worse than just white light?

>>3447694
closer to daylight (~5500 K) the better

>>3438215
blog?

>>3447757
From another angle

>>3443386
>Nice! That tablet is a trooper.
Yeah. It was a hand me down form my friend who is an artist. he bought some expensive Wacom tablet. I'm really happy about it because without it, I wouldn't have started pursuing visual art. It also works on GNU/Linux which makes me happy.

>>3447625
I've been painting and drawing longer than you've been alive. It's your eyes, fuck them up all you want, and never learn proper values, go for it. I'm trying to help you, but if you don't want to listen, oh well. Not my problem anymore.

>>3447694
Yes. Those yellow bulbs for "warm" light will influence your eye. The most neutral light is daylight, or as the other person said, 5500k. Pure white LEDs are better than the yellow bulbs.
Look at it this way, would you want a transparent sheet of yellow plastic between you and your art? That's what it is.

>>3446266
we all know why there is toilet paper next to the screen
