/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

i'm gonna do it guys, i'm gonna go to bed and when I wake up, I'll do DAD. no more excuses

>>4116381
You swear?

>>4116356

>>4116406
welcome newfag, post your work on the website indicated in OP to track your progress. This thread is just for discussion and tierposting

>>4116356
The amphibian man challenge was a good time. Also, nice typography on the op

>>4116381
DAD is a cool concept but the core community cliquing around it sucks major ass. if dad was based on an ID and not "muh name and avatar fagging" it might be alright but its full blown discord trash.
also the admin is weak

>>4116432
Did I bully you too hard?

>>4116432
or you could not participate in the whole discord community at all
I just filter every channel except for the art submission channels where there is minimal conversation at all. Also, I just lurk there, I don't and never liked talking to everyone there

>>4116435
The bully we need and deserve.

>>4116435
>>4116451
If you bully hard enough, is it possible for the one great to arise from the ashes like that one movie about the drummer?

>>4116435
havent done dad in over a year and a half, so no
>>4116444
>not participate
>I don't and never liked talking to everyone there

>you dont like it and youre still in the discord anyway.
yeah id figure most people wouldnt want to talk to those dramatic kids.
the community around DAD is social based on the discord, not social based on the anonymoose image board that hosts its threads. i come to 4chan for anonymity, not for being a fag. DAD is good for being a containment thread and thats about it

Take the bullypill, kiddos.

>>4116432

> admin is weak
are you talking about the fact that site updates take half a year to happen, that his art is shit, or that he's going to kill himself at some point in the near future
because at this point i don't know

>>4116414
already done it, you must be blind af

>>4116464
I haven't done dad in about the same amount of time too. Spooky.

>>4116464
>havent done dad in over a year and a half

>>4116470
> he's going to kill himself
i cant be the only one who kinda wants that to happen out of curiosity of how the next guy handles things

>>4116478
>tfw every time without fail if the site dies or the threads die, someone takes the place of the fallen
What is this phenomenon?

>>4116476
>>4116468
youre right, i should be using a shitty website to validate myself that im working hard enough by putting in the minimum effort for a submission and then head off to clown around in discords and play overwatch like the good little "artist" that i am

>>4116480
Not entirely accurate.
There was a three month drought between sites. The threads were fucking miserable.

>>4116471
the golf girl you posted? I'm blind and stupid, I don't see it in DAD

>>4116464
there's pro-tier artists in the server, some hardworking ones based on the las-house hours, and some with decent discussions about art. It's just that majority of the users are either kids, whiners and uwu owo posters. It's annoying

>>4116480
The site must have an admin

>>4116480
There must always be a Lich King.

>>4116481
It's better to be writing salty posts about how a community is bad and everyone else should give up like you did?

>>4116481
hi slug

>>4116485
>pro tier artists
thats rich ◙Ü◙

>>4116490
yes

>>4116493
Mathias and INNO are pros.

>>4116493
>he doesnt know about the actual full time pros in las discord

>>4116493
Mathias has literally worked as a concept artist lol

>>4116496
>>4116498
>>4116499
wait wtf?!

>>4116496
>>4116499
Are we talking about the current Mathias or the first Mathias?

>>4116505
Current crit god mathias

>>4116505
rip..

>>4116502
there's actual pros in the discord
even some who work at studios like the storyboard guy, or someone whos work sold out at comiket

>>4116505
It still hurts ;-;

>>4116470
Dad should just host ads and use the revenue to hire programmers.

maybe i was wrong about discord...

>>4116516
But then it would lose its soul and its soul is all that's keeping us together.

>>4116516
If money is ever wanted patreon tip jar with no rewards should be used instead of god damn advertizers.

>>4116519
How would it lose soul? It would get more exposure, banana can take it easy, and the site can be expanded more. Perhaps some new blood can increase motivation. You could even hire moderators.

>>4116516

freelance programmers cost a lot, dude
$60-$100 per hour
ads could never come close to handling that

>>4116522
We don't need moderators, we need a T R I B U N A L

>>4116524
Damn, maybe it's time to become a freelance programmer instead. With that kind of pay, might be able to live comfortably.

>>4116521
The solutions you guys are offering seems to intentionally shy away from mainstream success. Who is going to tip? No one here seems to actually care and always puts the responsibility on someone else. With big company support you can rely on revenue and makes dad more official, like a real website such as Instagram or deviantart. Right now it’s just a hole in the wall site full of people afraid to talk or put in minimum effort.

>>4116524
Why are you intentionally looking at the negatives? There was a time I wanted to be a programmer and the competition is fierce, but on the flip side that means it’s cheap to hire. It was like $30 on odesk, and I imagine extremely way cheaper to hire pajeets.
I can imagine art related companies like Wacom or those online art websites wanting to advertise here. The idea behind dad is unique and fulfilling if you can pitch it right.

Post ads on facebook and add google+facebook login system.

>>4116528

DAD's connection with 4chan will prevent it from being in the mainstream.
Banana's talked about having deleted several accounts entirely. The artists requested it because did not want to people to be able to find their old work because of those connections. In the super-punitive inside circle of most professional art cliques, being associated with 4chan is practically a blacklist.

>>4116528
>Right now it’s just a hole in the wall site full of people afraid to talk or put in minimum effort.
Oof. Sometimes that's just we need though.

we selling out now?

>>4116534
That’s why I was brainstorming tentatively that dad could have its own anonymous forum on the website. I still like the idea of anonymous critiques and commentary, but at least it won’t have the negative association it does with 4chan.
>>4116535
I feel like people on dad are using it as a crutch because posting your work on actual social networking sites is anxiety inducing, but the more you fear the water the more you will never get in the pool.
>>4116536
You guys are so negative and close minded.

>>4116540

> That’s why I was brainstorming tentatively that dad could have its own anonymous forum on the website. I still like the idea of anonymous critiques and commentary, but at least it won’t have the negative association it does with 4chan.

You're still missing the point.
As long as this general thread exists, and people have the knowledge that it has connections to 4chan (which are evident after a little digging / talking to some of the users), it will always have that negative association. All of these threads have been archived.
The only way to purge that reputation is to go the route of the SCP foundation, break away from and/or disavow 4chan entirely and foster a community that grows on its own.

>>4116542
>The only way to purge that reputation is to go the route of the SCP foundation, break away from and/or disavow 4chan entirely and foster a community that grows on its own.
Please no, lord what an absolute shitshow SCP has become.

>>4116542
>already on 4chan which is negative
>/ic/ is even more negative than that
>a general of /ic/
>a subset of /las/
>also a subset of /ded/
>/dad/ <-- we're here
Are we doomed to fail?

>>4116547

Well, what do you define as "failing"? Not surviving longer than a specified duration? Not being a highly public, high traffic and profitable website?

>>4116547
/dad/ isn't a subset of /ded/, /dad/ and /ded/ are both sibling subsets of LAS

Which days' submissions are kringle critting for her sunday and monday streams??

Honestly I don't get why people want dad to become a big thing. You don't get this cozy small community atmosphere in a lot of places, and i enjoy dad a lot just for that. When I want to go on a big site with a lot of users I go on Twitter or Insta, when I want to see a small community of artists I go to dad

>>4116555
cozy is bad

>>4115640
>>4115683
bruh ill say anything in stream for 100 dollars as long as its within twitch guidelines so i dont get nuked. im all about that cash money life.
real talk tho to all yall anons any and all support is appreciated, being part of the DAD community is already its own reward.

also to; >>4115121
>>4115829
sundays critique will be fridays work (bcz that was the day i was originally going to critique. and since i usually finish after 5pm for these things anyway i've decided to have the monday crits be the work of that day like OG crit streams. i know im not technically obligated to do these but i consider 51ip a good friend and i promised to do my best to continue the crit stream legacy, so obligated i shall be.

also also
>HEADS UP
tomorrows stream is going to be 2 hours earlier than usual, aka roughly 11.5 hours from this posts timestamp. SORRY ONCE AGAIN for the scheduling turbulence, please know i hate this as much as you do

>>4116563
>i've decided to have the monday crits be the work of that day like OG crit streams.
oh FUG

>>4116555
>>4116559
I like the cozy community here. And I already have a twitter account if I want asspats

I say we need more tierlists

>>4116591
Tierlists after DAIB is over
Everyone who doesn't finish DAIB is subhuman tier 0

CUTE BOYS CHALLENGE
CUTE BOYS CHALLENGE

>Had an idea of drawing a cute boy
>Read the rules again
>Realize it doesn't adhere to the rules so have to come up with something new

>>4116635
Good thing you caught that. Reading comprehension is really important.

>>4116635
What do you have in mind?

wow this new thread grew fast

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOOORNING LATINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>4116731
*suffocated her with a pillow while you were asleep*

>>4116356
That graffiti is awesome. Thanks for the feature ShrineyDog!

F...

>>4116778
wtf happened and why didn't they invite me?

I'm burnt out dads have been for days but it just ain't comin back, tho still grinding out every day
wat do? it's just getting worse but i refuse to lose my streak. I haven't once yet i can't let it happen, I'm so close to a level up.
I discovered automatic drawing through my procrastination was hard to do though and really let go - any dads have experience with it?

>>4116806
Hang in there, DAD.

>>4116806
are you a flawless? week 1ner?

>half way through the month
you've started working your daibs by now, right daddy?

>>4116859
heh...

>>4116778
The "never give up" japanese fisherman guy there makes it a whole lot funnier.

>>4116863
oh shit I just noticed, s m h

>>4116806
you can take a break and start again. Or go for a lesser frequency. didn't banana modified the streak count for this instead of resetting to zero?

The spirit of DAD is to draw as much as possible, not keeping big streaks by doing nothing but the bare minimum. So don't worry about losing your streak.

>draws girls
>calls them boys

>>4116906
so cute

>>4116906
I'm pretty sure that's what majority of dads will do for the /cm/ challenge

>>4116921
Might as well just make a cute girls challenge.

>>4116926
>>4116921
anyone who will draw girls with futa dicks for the challenge will also be placed in subhuman tier 0

>>4116931
whoa there tiger I didn't know this was a competition based challenge

>>4116935
I just want more excitement..
I'm so bored and lonely....

>>4116937
well, at least you're not horny

>>4116581
same. Its rare to find any small community like this anymore.

>>4116942
Which is exactly why we must destroy it.

>Need to do uni work but also need to draw

Life isn't fair daddies

>>4116935
the person who draws the cutest boy gets fanart from ME!

>>4116859
I'll probably submit my cute boy to daib since that's what I'm comfortable drawing. We'll see next week

i don't think anyone's going to like my cute buy except me desu

>>4116496
Isn't Vad on about that level too? Him,Yog, Nile and a few others are pretty much pros waiting for a company to hire them.

>>4116857
not a first weeker no but personally I haven't missed a single day since I began drawing again and started dad to make sure I did it every day, which is something small that im kinda proud of, given I don't even change my underwear daily kek

>>4116876
I think thatd just ruin my confidence and I'd hate myself too much to even want to start again, though I would. I think it halves now tho as a compromise but idk

>>4116851
thanks dad I'll try make you proud
tokens when?! D:

>>4116973
I’ll like them anon! All boys deserve love.

I'm going to make a loli challenge and nobody can stop me. Not even the Admin himself.

>>4117049
*bans your small pp*

>>4117049
make it, then you and everyone that joins it can get banned ;)

>>4117049
it's not against the rules as long as you don't specify whether it's sfw or nsfw

>>4117076
underage is against site rules

>>4117079
as long as it's not sexual it's fine

>>4117079
only if it's porn

>mrw someone draws lines on paper or arranges pixels on a screen in ways I don't like

Are we gonna go talk about this again

Strum?

>>4117207
kringle here. strum!

Are challenges going to be more prominent on the site later on? Some of the past ones should be yearly (National ( ) Day Challenge) and some should be open to anyone so new users and beginners can participate immediately (e.g Hit the Books challenge, Draw a Box challenge, etc.)

>>4117217
I like the idea of continuous challenges people can do at any time. For yearly challenges I guess people can just make them over and over again, speaking of which is anyone going to make an Inktober challenge?

>Post in wrong thread

First I can get my drawing right, and then I also make a post in a completely different thread by accident.
I am going to submit a trash drawing tonight, I am sorry but this is all I could do tonight

>>4117217
DaB challenge was the best. Hope it's redone again one day. It really kills you for a month though since you have to draw something other than your regular routine.

>>4117293
Past challenges can get redone with better and more flexible guidelines.

DAD Official Invite Post (Elitist On Donkey Edition)

Morningly sad, dads!

If you want to join "Do Art Daily Official Discord" you can write me (stultus7#6249). Also you can find me in old dad discord.
You need dad account and some submissions. I will send you invite.

Thanks to everyone who joined in the last few weeks. I will stop annoying anon with my posting for now.

Dadas, should I start posting again ? It's been more than a year, and last time I asked, opinions were mixed, so I played coin, lost, and so didn't post.

>>4116921
I'm doing a self portrait

>>4117367
Why not? Pick Every Other Day for start.

>>4117367
Yes

>>4117367
What's your username? The answer depends on who you were.

>>4117469

pii

>>4117469
eddin

>>4117474
Start again only if you think it'll help you. Don't force yourself.

>>4117399
Seconding this. I draw every day but posting something every day for me feels kind of nerve-wracking sometimes.

>>4117477
Guess I'll start again then, thanks for the (you)s

I feel bad for making kringle critique my 500x200 low quality jpg image

>>4117477
Not the same anon but should I continue posting here if I really hate my work? I practice daily anyway, and I was doing it before coming here, but I just really hate uploading my shit drawings publically and having them be in a gallery other people can see.

>>4117495
I feel the same way as you. I even started uploading very low quality images so nobody would bother with them, but thinking about it again maybe that's not the way to go about it.
Well, I realized that people don't think much about other people's work, and people don't comment on my work either so I guess it's pointless to think about what other people think about your work even if they see your work.
But if it's about comparing yourself to better artists, look up to them instead of feeling bad about it.

>>4117495
>>4117504

I'm not as experienced in art as I am in other subjects, but in my experience with those other subjects it's my feeling that learning to be comfortable with being bad is helpful for improvement. I can't really articulate why I feel that way, at least not with only two hours left to draw something though.

>>4117515
Submit after the deadline ends then. You've got a lot of free time after it. Anyway, if you can do fine without DAD then go ahead. I'm afraid to stop because I basically started drawing just as I started DAD.

>>4117518

I'm not the person you were originally replying to, I was trying to say that DAD helps with that.

>>4117520
Sorry, I only noticed after sending the message.

mommy kringle is the best <3

>>4117557
She'll think that's me now. FUCK!

>>4117518
Yeah, maybe I'll take a break and just focus on doing the challenges or something. I feel like I've gone from "drawing every day because I like the process and learning this stuff" to just "drawing every day so I'll have something to submit here."

based on their art, who do you think are the youngest and oldest dads?

>>4117624
Still better than not drawing imo. If, while searching for inspiration, you find something that gets your thing going, you won't have to go through the warming up phase. You'll be ready to go for it.

>>4117627
what's up with that gif

>>4117627
A former dad said he was 47, aside from that I think the oldest would be beanhead and the youngest would be LUSO

>>4117648
you got a problem with it, brother?

>>4117659
depends on wether you're ok with it, mate

>>4117645
Yeah I'm not quitting drawing daily, just probably taking a break from this place for a bit because submitting shit publically stresses me out.

>>4117627
Hoppy's probably one of the more younger daddies, don't know who the others are though.

did kringle say what time the stream is tomorrow?

>>4116381
well I did spend a few hours drawing like I promised but it's not finished so it'll have to wait until tomorrow. looks like the day on the site just reset anyway

what's the difference between all the discords/ how many are there? i joined the /las/ one a few months ago but never posted anything and was never kicked like some people claim they were

>>4117671
not that I remember.

>>4117666
Shame. Here's to hoping that you get accustomed to it

>>4117672
>well I did spend a few hours drawing like I promised but it's not finished so it'll have to wait until tomorrow
you're allowed to post works in progress

>>4117672
One's dead, another one is slightly less dead, the /las/ one has more activity but it's less about the site.

>>4117654
>A former dad said he was 47
Former? I just changed my post frequency is all. My streak stands, anon.

>>4117712
daddy!

Draw more cute boys!

>>4117709
i dont wanna post wips cause it feels lazy, i'll just finish it tomorrow and hopefully i'll get faster at drawing at some point so i can post a finished thing every day

>>4117754
It's post work every day, not finish something every day.

>>4117627
Psikier is canon daddy irl

>>4117754
You'll easily burn out if you worry about submitting finished works everyday

>>4117671

Since they said they were going to crit Monday's work, chances are it'll be pretty late in the submission day and close to the time the crit streams have usually been happening, I'd guess.

Banana, are you alright?

>>4118058

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

What about the rest of you dads? Are you alright?

>>4118070
Physically, yes. Artistically? Not at all

>>4118072
What's the issue fellow dad?

>>4118060
it's fine nanners, go and take a break

>>4118070
I'm on overtime for the whole week but I'll try to push something for daib and cute boy

>>4118070
I'm still struggling along trying to keep the streak

>>4118075
Keep up the good effort!
>>4118089
You've got this, struggling is good. At least good struggling is good.

>>4117627
based on their art, who do you think is a shit poster on /ic/?

>>4118163
purin

>>4118167

nessie won daib guys

>>4118185
this aint no competition, sonny

winner absorbs the souls of all the losers

>>4118212
nessie already has so much soul

>>4118220
how do you think she got it in the first place?

>>4118212
shit that should've been in the terms I wouldn't have signed up

give me your souls and i can defeat nessie \o/

yeah about that..

I'm looking for a community that will cheer up on me and support me whenever I will struggle with my daily drawing routine. Is this a good place for that?

>>4118554
if you're nice or cute usually you'll get a positive reception, but aside from a few bad eggs we're a pretty helpful

>>4118554
Just don't get too needy or clingy.

but first, where did you heard/learned about DAD?

>>4118667
I wonder where he is now

I dont mind focus on drawing, but I have trouble with staying focus with school work and finish them early so I can have more time to draw.

>>4118672
>where did you heard/learned about DAD
Before posting my art on /ic/ I browse catalog to make sure that I'm using correct thread. I've noticed this thread, get curious and came inside.

Holy FUCK

I just noticed a critical flaw in Procreate daddies.
If your screen brightness is turned down, the colour picker makes all colours darker as well.

No wonder I have been struggling to get the right colours all day

>>4118727
;-; is that true holy shit

My ipad is constantly dimming I feel like. It can be max brightness but after about 15-20 mins it automatically dims and I can't see what I'm fucking doing. I turned off all the screen-dimming options in settings and it still does it. It's my least favorite thing about the ipad.

>>4118734
there's another dimming option in settings somewhere, mine kept turning the brightness up and down even though I'd turned off the obvious ones
I forget where it is but it was easy enough to find with google, other people have the same issue

>>4118620
Even he has more followers than me. Im upset about my art, its plain and boring. I need to step up my game.

>>4118727
>If your screen brightness is turned down, the colour picker makes all colours darker as well.
why did the procreate programmers do this?

Is there going to be a crit stream today after all?

is it that time of the month again, banana? please don't be too hard on yourself. We all want to see you succeed!

>>4118787
>We all want to see you succeed!
Except me. I want to see him fail so I could bully him.

>>4118797
u can bully him regardless of his failure, he is very bullyable.

>>4118726
>came inside
OwO daddy cummies

>>4118673
He probably married JMGN, but on a more serious note I do wonder where he went. Maybe he got tired of all the bullying and just left silenty?

>>4118810
He missed the start date for a couple of the seasonal challenges and said he'd be back in time for the next ones. Guess he just kept getting the date wrong and gave up?

>>4117675
Yeah I might come back around. Maybe when I get better it'll get easier.

There's a vid of him painting Belladonna, fucking turbo chad just approached her irl once and said he wanted to paint her

>This is not an excuse, this is an explanation. I would do anything to get back into the /LAS/ Discord. Be it self-mutilation or bribing server moderators. There are no limits now. I will do anything to get back into the server. I will do anything. Anything. Let me back in, I will be good. Please. I won't stir drama, I won't stir drama. I will be mild-mannered and even shy if you'd like me to. I will be submissive, docile, anything. I will do anything to get into the server, anything at all. There are no limits to how far I'll go. There is nothing else for me, do you understand this?
That's a big fat barrel of "How about fucking NO?", yikes.

>>4118862

>>4118888
I don't think they even draw or post to DAD

>>4118891
I don't care, I just want to fuck them silly if they turn out to be an adult. I love depressed pathetic daddies like Jerry and etc.

>>4118826
I’ll take a bribe of $25,000 to get an invite back you little bitch boy

I remember what it was like when I was 14
we were all filled with bullshit in our head
my best advice is to write it all down in a diary, don't let people see it, don't spill your spaghetti, and just get through it, you'll be fine once you're 20

>>4118903
An invite to the las discord is worth like 15 bucks tops.

>>4118911
Seeing him get invited only to be immediately kicked again is priceless tho

An give me my 15 then :^]

>>4118920
Pick up a pencil for the first time in years, niche, and I'll consider it.

Nothing is stopping you from making your own /dad/ discord. It's not like the admins draw or anything. And not everyone is required to join your server, either. It can be only 5 dads out of the 40 that are posting and still mean something.

Daily reminder

>>4118929
oh

Friendly reminder to all my daddies that staying /fit is just as important in making it. Take care of your precious hands. I joined dad right after my wrist healed and it took one whole YEAR!!!!! Don’t be like me and ignore your body. Doing something physical everyday is ideal. And always workout your arms and wrist with small weights. Hand injury’s are some of the most complex things to fix so don’t take them for granite. Also if you do get injured. Avoid steroids and surgery until you are 100% sure you know what needs fixed. I hear so many stories of people blindly taking these treatments only to make it worst. Hand injury’s are so hard on the mind and can make you depressed. Love you daddies and keep working hard!!!!

It would be a whole lot more fun if it was. Instead it's just the general complaining about uni and work. Lame grown up things.

>>4118826

I feel second-hand embarrassment reading this. I post art regularly at DAD and kind of lamented not being part of the community because I don't do discord but now I'm happy I don't. This kid should get his noodle checked and get a positive outlet, which drawing could be but evidently he can't be assed and wastes his energy on being an unproductive cunt. People who have no interest in art should fuck off from /ic/ and DAD. Also you have to be 18+ to be here anyway.

>4 years before this kid is old enough to rejoin las discord
How much do you think YOU can improve your art in 4 years? Will you still be a part of DAD in 4 years?

>>4119445
>>4119441
the discord is comfier than the other chan servers I've been. Lesser edge and drama. Might be cool if you want to check it out

>>4119457
A lot, I hope. I was part of las 2 years ago and I made some modest gains between the time I left and rejoined this year. But now that I'm doing Dad I feel like I'm improving a lot faster

I'm pretty sure he was referring to how some people are drawing as little as possible just to keep their streak instead of drawing for the fun of it.

I think this mindset is really unhealthy and yet quite common (I'm talking about koki, Varsils, Thunderounet, Cath, Dream, Valley, KazooKD, BanjoKazooie, dare and even the1banana who won't fool me with his sob story in the description).

Every night I post something to /dad/, and when I look at it the next day it looks like something I threw together in 10 minutes. But in reality it took me 2+ hours.

It feels so good when you look at old drawings, try to redo them, and put together a better one in a few strokes. Then throw it to the bin cause you know you can do it again, or put more time in and do something even better

I've killed my streak a couple of times, fella. I push to draw every day because it helps me stay on track and practice. Not every drawing is gonna be fun. Also, as little as possible? I've had a couple of days where I just doodled something quick but I disagree that I don't put time in my work most of the time.

How did you guys learn to stylize so nicely?

I don't have a problem when drawing something semi-realistic - it just takes a lot of time and references. But actually designing new stuff or creatively simplifying it? That's just mindboggling.

>>4120313
Just seconding the organic drawings.
Preferably live models, or real dead ones ie skulls or taxidermy animals. (Nature museums are great if they’ll let you draw in them.)
Also at the beginning, don’t try too hard to see the shapes. Concentrate on the abstract shadows that create planes. If you try to hard to fit in boxes/cylinders everywhere you’ll wind up with an inaccurate drawing. It might take a while but eventually it will click, you just have to start seeing the slight changes in shadows as planes, eventually you can start to simplify those in your head.

>>4120595

oh so technically we dont need banana because someone else will just take his place?
it would be good to have him but its no great loss if he just packed up and left?

>>4120774
Yeah. Admins are like Kleenex: pull one out, another comes out.

>>4120732
Curious which dad’s style you are envious of?
My general understanding is that AFTER you’ve mastered some basic understanding of shape/proportion/other fundamentals is when your style starts to come to fruition. Without a decent grasp of fundamentals, you don’t have much to play around with.

>>4120740
Thank you. I've been attempting value studies from photo refs and I was interpreting the shadows and different values as planes; it felt like I was sculpting the form while working on them. Is that more of what I should be trying to feel out in general?

>>4120784
Not him but there are a lot of people here I'm kinda envious. I barely know what to focus on and practice half the time, it gets overwhelming. Right now I'm just trying to work on boxes and shit so I can get out of /beg/ hell eventually.

>>4120807
I think value studies are fine for deciphering planes, but if you wanted to you could negate value entirely and just try contouring and measuring planes to start out with. That way you aren't concerned with value changes at all to start out with, just where and how the planes change.
The way I learned was just from "crawling" through whatever I'm looking at, measuring certain landmarks against other landmarks, and then putting in values once I checked the initial drawing was accurate.
What really matters I think are what references/objects you are using. Ideally they should be organic, but with easily decipherable planes. Skulls are always the best thing for /beg/.

>2nd week of drawing class
>few drop outs as expected of course
>today we're learning about gesture drawing
>"oh shit time to unleash my true for--
>psyche we're actually learning to draw things as basic shapes!!
>oh...that's not really what I was expecting--but construction is my strong point!
So I construct my drawing better than almost all the kiddos whom I thought were better than me based on the first week of "blind contour" drawing and basically I feel like an asshole and should have just pretended to be more shit than I am because I got no critique other than "your drawing should be center". Hell I even self critiqued myself and it feels like the teacher thinks I'm an asshole

I wish I had enough money to go to Art Center or whatever so those guys could drill me a new one. Though what am I expecting for a community college class.

>>4120877
>gesture drawing, except it's not what you think
kek, holy shit. I had the exact same kind of thing happen. It's good practice anyways though. Don't underestimate your prof's fundamentals nor get too hot headed. You'll be your own down fall. Just refine your work as much as possible and try to get as much critique and experimentation in. You sound like you wouldn't even last at AC.

>>4120885
>Don't underestimate your prof's fundamentals nor get too hot headed.

Yeah I know. There are a lot of things I don't know that I've neglected in traditional art so I hope I'll get a lot out of this. I did learn some things like positioning and just being there physically made things a lot more clearer.

>>4120877
If you're not getting a decent critique by your second week get the fuck out of there.
I wasted so many classes on shit teachers who either didn't know how to critique my work or didn't want to.
Your gains will be so much more with a teacher who gives good crit. I stayed in those classes with shit teachers because I thought "Well I'm still drawing...", but I wish I would have just switched classes.

>>4120888
>If you're not getting a decent critique by your second week get the fuck out of there.

I kinda would but Drawing 1 & 2 is required for the graphic design program so I can't drop it. There were so many times he went up to the board and I wanted to say something additional to make myself look like I'm engaged with what's being taught but then if it looks like I'm more knowledgeable then it 1. as what's happening now I'm not getting feedback and 2. singles me out as being the "already talented (not really) guy".

>>4120895
Are you even taking design yet, that class is the legitimately difficult one.

>>4120898
Not until next year. I'm only taking 1 class but I plan to go full time immediately in January/February after quitting my job.

>>4120895
It doesn't hurt to ask him for more critique after class or during. Your paying for the instructors time and feedback, if you feel like you're not walking away with anything valuable, don't just sit in that. If he gives you a half ass critique just ask him if that's really all you can improve on, or ask him specifically for things you want to improve on.

>>4120895
I was in classes with people who legit had never drawn before and the professors always appreciated it (like would straight up tell me it was refreshing to hear) whenever there were contributions from students with more technical mileage and ability.

If you're ahead of the class, professors will help out students who are struggling more than you, but are more than willing to give critique if you ask for it after class or something. Remember to be specific about what your intended goal is however, as in you don't want them to critique your mecha waifu illustration as an abstract painting.

Since you're at a community college taking an intro to drawing sort of thing, you have to remember the professor's bar for new students is very low. A lot of people take Drawing 1 as what they intend to be their 'easy elective', so they sort of have to cater to that.

>>4120865
I'll try that then. I feel like I've tried some similar stuff just not extensively, so thank you for the advice on what to focus on!

The mor I daib the more I realize I have noo idea wtf I'm doing

>>4121127
Coming to know what you don't know is a valuable part of the learning process. You may struggle now, but by confronting your weaknesses now will let you improve even more in the future!
