>>4131767
you too

>>4131767
>Seal: make don't overdo lines one should be enough.

Yes, it's something I noticed too while drawing and I was wondering why I keep doing it. I came to the conclusion that the initial pressure on that particular brush was so low that I had to keep redrawing lines to make them show up properly.
Not that that's any good excuse, or 100% of the reason, but it's part of it.

Anyway, thank you for the crit, I will strive to be better!

>>4131760
I feel that way too. I'm sad about my own skills but happy for everyone else.

>>4131760
>>4131794
Have you considered that other (possibly better) dads are struggling and frustrated as well?

>>4131767
i did not use the reference though a lot of people say he looks familiar for some reason. success then maybe?

Banana gave himself 4 years. I'll give myself one. If I fail I'm done.

>>4131820
who're you?

>>4131820
these are some lame ass excuses to off yourself to be frank. im pretty sure any shrink would say your using art as a mask for unresolved problems that have nothing to do with how good you are in art and if you really want to improve as a person and in art you should address those first.

>>4131825
>>4131820
>Banana gave himself 4 years
>excuses to off yourself
Wait, what? Banana says he's going to kill himself if he won't git gud in 4 years? Did I get that right?

>>4131820

i'll give myself my lifetime

>>4131837
yea

>>4131840
Lol! I'll buy him a webcam so he can stream it

>>4131820
oh yeah, well i'm giving myself a week

>>4131820

>>4131843
Don't joke like that - some retard could call for the police to stop you.

>>4131845
true, it's surprising people haven't done that to banana in the past

>>4131713
good doggy! i always enjoy your lettering.

>>4131824
You'll know in one year.

>>4131825
I don't care what some stupid shrink says. Don't kid yourself. Life is not worth living if there is no meaning to it.

>>4131857
>You'll know in one year.
Doubt anyone will.

>>4131857
Bro just tell us

I am so scared of the inktober challenge. Being unable to erase has me worried.

>>4131767
>1st time submitting
>don't get skipped
nice, also i agree with you on my forms not being clear enough, any advice?

>>4131868
just undersketch bro

>>4131825
I'm not him but I might be in a similar boat(?)

I keep attaching my skill in art to myself personally and I'm starting to wonder if that's really the way to go about things. I hate my art, I hate myself. It's hard to let go of.

>>4131872
That's cheating anon!

>>4131857
then why even give yourself the year? is art the thing that is giving you meaning or is it just having people like your art that gives you meaning? are you trying to prove something to yourself? if you dont see meaning in your life ok then have fun with them suicidal thoughts and i hope it works out well for you in the end. but it seems like you are writing lines in the sand for some random arbitrary reason with no logical sense to it. ahh well it seems like you have a lot of shit to work out with yourself buddy so i hope it goes well for you but if you are trying to seek for some sort of meaning of life in art then something like getting good shouldnt ever even come into the equation just enjoy it arts fun and thats why i do it period. improving is fun and thats why i improve period. even if i dont like my results i like the journey and i think thats how it should be. stop getting in the way of yourself.

>>4131876
your mom is cheating

banana if you kill yourself i will beat the fucking shit out of you

>>4131877
Because if I can't get good in one year I never will. What's the point of making pictures if you can't make good pictures?

When did the LAS start again?

This board is so depressing. Reading all of the despair posts here starts making me doubt myself too.

>>4131790
>make don't overdo lines one should be enough.
Oh, this sentence is broken. I need to sleep more.
Anyway if it seems to you that something is wrong with your brush, change it! Do not be afraid to ask questions: "what I am doing wrong" and "how can I fix it".

>>4131871
The simplest advice I can give you: think about where the light comes from.
Internet is full of various tutorial that can help you with that. Pick one, read it, try it, ask for crit (in discords for example), repeat. If you know any 3D editor you can use it to test your assumptions about light.

>>4131911
I know what you mean, I've started avoiding the vent threads because of how much people worry and overthink things which I've just stopped thinking about completely. At the end of the day I want to enjoy making stuff, too much focus on future or audience and things gets in the way of that for me.

>>4131707
Na that last post wasn't me.
But I do agree with it, Fussing over what resource is the best to learn from is a symptom of fear from actually sitting your ass down and studying.
Recognize that you're making excuses, gain some clarity and just do what you know you need to do to improve.

Look at your own art, see what's wrong with it, and study the relevant information

>>4131910
start of 2016

>>4131911
To combat the despairposting, my life has been really good lately and I’ve stopped having suicidal thoughts completely, and I’m getting my shit together. It’s good.

>>4131911

Heh, i guess that's the life of an artist. I remember when i had a point in my life when i was thinking "Do i want to seriously go into art or programming?" And i chose art. And now always when i see all the depressed posts that make me doubt myself i think how much farther could i have gotten with learning programming. Like, maybe i should have started to learn something more logical and not this chaotic abstract bullshit that is art.

i can't stop the suicidal thoughts

a-atleast you're making lots of money, r-right anon?

why does the thread always get spicy hot while i'm at work

>>4131837
>>4131840
>>4131894

So, I wrote that ultimatum after a small breakdown of sorts. It was sincere at the time I wrote it but things look very different when you're in those low points. It's no secret that I'm struggling with personal issues but I am getting help and things are looking better on the whole, despite some ups and downs. If you're worried, no, I'm not going to off myself. It would be unbelievably hypocritical to the people I've managed to temporarily talk out of that mentality.

But even in that state, I would not have made such an ultimatum if I did not think it was reasonable to meet the condition. Seriously, if I tried my absolute hardest over a little less than five years and I can't make anything come of it, then there is something critically wrong with me as a person. To that end, I'm still counting the days. If I consider myself having failed the objective, it's definitely going to be a really, really low point for me, so don't expect too much in the way of communication for about a week or so.

that being said, i don't like clogging up the threads being clogged up by my personal bullshit. let's drop this topic and talk about art, right?

And in the event you're sincerely thinking of ending it, please reach out to someone in the community, including me. Life can suck, but living is pretty swell.


>>4131767

Merciful christ, dude, I honestly don't know what I am doing. I've never done "real" digital painting before. I saw a speedpaint video that really showed me how different the actual pro painting process is from the academic, sterile approaches that applied the perspective lessons I learned (Eric Olson). For an ACTUAL piece, I learned that I need to start general and gradually get more specific.
However, it's been a super alien approach that breaks a lot of comfort habits. If it looks like I'm doing better, that's reassuring. I'm shit at figure though, so no promises on that.

>>4132084
4 years is quite a while, so you can definitely develop quite some skill in that time, especially if it's the only skill you're focusing on, but be weary of becoming complacent and thinking "plenty of time!" otherwise time will whoosh by before you know it and you'll be left with a few months, then weeks

>>4132084
What kind of features will be on the profile pages in the big update?

>>4132101
Definitely.

>>4132107
User-defined bios, better layout, a user page thread for direct comments are the big ones. Maybe will throw in challenge participation / creation history and other statistics.

plenty...

Being a programmer doesn't make your art soulless. You gotta adjust and make time for drawing time
>t. another itfag

who here hasn't started their daib

>>4132144
me :c

>>4132148
Plenty of time, r-right?

>>4132144

Guys if you haven't started the daib yet just take whatever drawing and make it the daib, you are out of time!

>>4132169
Honestly this. A lot of people are just treating DAIB like it's an exercise in procrastination. No amount of prep will ever adequately prepare you for all the challenges you'll face making the piece. It's scary, but you just have to bite the bullet, take what you have and make it as good as you have at this point.

I want daib to be over. It feels like a waste of time. What am I trying to prove?

>>4132231
it's a good excuse to make a portfolio piece

>>4132231
>What am I trying to prove?
That you're better than me? Your placement on the tierlist? Your dick>My dick?

>>4132173
>>4132231
I guess only 1% of us really will make it.

>>4132169
I'm done with mine and submitted it as a daily but haven't submitted it to Daib yet because I feel I can maybe make it a little better, but over all I fell it came out meh.

So, we got 4 days huh? PLEEEEEEEEENTY of time

>>4132237
A shitter will always be a shitter no matter how much effort he puts. That includes me.

>be tired after work
>Go take a nap to regenerate some strength, without worrying about an alarm clock because it's still quite early
>Wake up next day at 4am
... fuck. I've lost my streak again.

I guess I was stupid for not setting up my alarm just in case.
And drawing after work sometimes just doesn't work. I'll try doing it before work then, despite how much I despise waking up early. With my shitty life that seems the only option to make sure I'll have energy to draw every day.

>>4132298
That sort of attitude is why you're a shitter in the first place

>>4131876
Wait, is it?

>>4131876
>>4132349
It's not, it even explicitly says on the official Inktober site undersketching is ok

>>4132389
Before you'll commit suicide please do some research first! Humans can be really sturdy and it's easy to permanently damage your brain instead of killing yourself. And some common suicide methods are really painful when done incorrectly (like hanging yourself). <3

I'm proud of ya zeke!

how do you balance starting new pieces with finishing old ones? it feels like i don't have any time to sketch & create new ideas b/c they'll just add to the pile of illustrations that need to be finished, but sketching is one of the most enjoyable parts of drawing too.
>>4132084
do you have any examples of art that's the level you want to reach to feel like you've made it?

>>4132084
I'm curious how someone who makes an ultimatum over art like this has gotten this way?
It seems like you don't have a passion for art. If you had a passion for art you would live to make art, not kill yourself over it.
Like I'm stuck in an unrelated job atm and basically count the hours until i can get home and draw. It's what makes me happy. I don't really care if I'm ngmi. I just like drawing stupid shit.
I guess because I'm a little bit desperate, I can understand where you're coming from. But where I don't understand again is, do you enjoy the process of art creating at all?

>>4132412

> Goal in 5 years:
Two conditions.
One, be partially or entirely financially supported by art endeavors.
Two, be satisfied with the caliber of my work given the time constraints, generally meaning marketable to strong competence. In comics, something along the same caliber of Manly Guys / LFG / Dr. McNinja. For individual "pieces", things like https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5a/ec/97/5aec97b0369509e9ff437e809da1f5e4.jpg should be reasonable if not easy for me to do.
As for sketching, fucking around, etc... I want to be able to do things like the attached pic (or iguanamouth's stuff), without concentrated effort, super off-the-cuff.
In the end though, it's a matter of how I feel at that time. Very subjective.

> Existential Satisfaction (making it):
> Develop a distinct and appealing aesthetic that has merit in it of itself
http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=36
> OR potent overall mastery from rendering to character expressiveness
https://www.lackadaisycats.com/comic.php?comicid=170
> Masterful writing ability, with several lucrative passion projects already in motion

I replied in threads years ago what the absolute fantasy would be, but it's unproductive to indulge in vicarious goals when I need to take small productive steps in the now.

>>4132422

This is going to open an entire can of worms. It ties a lot into why LAS means so much to me, and why I'll never stop maintaining DAD, no matter how busy, famous or otherwise preoccupied I may become.
I'd rather not write an autobiography on this topic (people generally dislike me venting or waxing on about personal stuff, as it stands opposite to the professional conduct a site administrator should demonstrate) but if you insist I may indulge the topic at a later time.
To answer your last question directly, if I manage to get past the initial stages of self-doubt, the actual process of drawing is amazing.

anyway lets drop the subject
i don't like being this self-indulgent

>>4132441
>if I manage to get past the initial stages of self-doubt
gonna agree with this >>4132422. I know you just said not to talk about it but I think constantly beating and stressing yourself up on drawing is just counterproductive for your goal. Imo having a stable non art related job is the logical solution to go rather than building an art career from the ground up in 5 years since you already have knowledge in IT and programming

>>4132450

I mean, that aspect is getting better over time and that's more an element of my personality and mental health history than anything. I have the same functional problems when I do my regular job. At my core, I would not be satisfied on my deathbed if I didn't make that pivot.

gonna sleep now mates lets talk more about getting gud this thread and less about my problems alrighty

I've been half-assing my submissions lately because I just felt too tired to find the desire to draw. I wonder if I should just end my streak now and take a break, but I worry if I give up now I won't be able to start again

>>4132495
Maybe you just need to take a break from submitting? I know it seems a bit weird to think about, but you probably had an intrinsic desire to draw before and maybe it was taken over by an obligation to continue a streak for this place instead?

Maybe just don't think about submitting next time you draw, and if you still have time that day then submit anyway.

>>4132495
are you daily poster? Setting your frequency to every X day might help so you can take a break. At least it doesn't completley wipe out your stream

>>4132518
*streak

>>4132441
>One, be partially or entirely financially supported by art endeavors.
depending on where and how you're willing to live, this becomes a lot easier.
>Two, be satisfied with the caliber of my work
this may never happen. i still hate almost every drawing i make even though i couldn't have even made them at all a few years ago.
one thing you should keep in mind though is that progress is not necessarily linear if that makes sense. everyone overcomes different roadblocks at different rates and this can lead to very frustrating periods where it feels like you're getting very little return for all the work you're putting in followed by very fast improvement that can feel almost effortless. the work i'm doing now makes drawings from a year ago look like they were done by someone with brain damage but even those were preceded by 4 years of grinding & i couldn't be where i am without all of that knowledge and all the frustration and tears that it took to get it.

>https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5a/ec/97/5aec97b0369509e9ff437e809da1f5e4.jpg
looking through your gallery it seems like you're not doing much color study yet, maybe try adding at least 15 to 30 min of painting from life every day. then if you have enough time, take that still life/plein air etc and try to render it in the style of one of the artists you like. taking those same studies and doing perspective turns, different focal lengths etc would also be a good way to start apply all the construction & perspective knowledge you've been grinding.
>resources
http://www.huevaluechroma.com/
graphic la (as well as robh ruppel's thu masterclass)
arthur stern's exercises
how to render is supposed to be pretty good too but i haven't read it
>>4132495
maybe do some less mentally taxing & time consuming but still valuable stuff for a while, e.g. film studies or spitpaints.

Tbqh studies are a lot more mentally taxing on me than original works

>>4132518
True. I just know it'll bite me later when I want to go back to posting normally

>>4132516
Idk, I don't think that's it. Dad has honestly helped me manifest my desire to draw a lot, I've made more finished illustrations in my last few months in Dad than I have in the last year. Real life and associated bullshit is just killing my need to make shit. I know I want to draw, but when I sit in front of the tablet or pull out some paper it's so hard to make myself actually do it cause I'm exhuasted

Some progress and corrections.

>>4132547
>don't mindless copy, STUDY it.
how?
things like line weight and curves and everything else I can and do note, but anime faces seem to have no real construction or logic to the feature placement and proportions

i mean, if you change them even slightly they look fucked up so I imagine there must be SOME logic, but I can't figure it out. Eyes just look like they go wherever randomly with no respect to the center lines of the face. So I'm just memorizing what looks bad and what looks good.

For instance, I've memorized that in angles close to 90deg to facing, the eyes should end really close to the outline to the face, or it'll look bad. Even if logically there should be more space there. This is just a disconnected fact.

>woof woof redditor lurks dad
faggot

>>4132518
>>4132516
>you should draw less
Pathetic. Anon clearly needs more encouragement to push through this hard time and grow stronger from it and you're advising him to give up?! Filthy crabs.

>>4132573
I said to give him a day off, not entirely give up but you're free to bully him if you want

>>4132562
This is a difficult task, to be honest. You see the end result, but you need to know how did the author draw it? Your task is to disassemble the process.

I can not advise on anime topic. I think it's better to check /asg/ thread. But here are my thoughts:
Take a reference. Try to understand the logic that the author used to make picture. If you can't, look for his sketches or speedpaints. If you can’t find them, look for tutorials that give similar results. If this is not the case, then try and error is your last option. But it must be a conscious activity.

>For instance, I've memorized that in angles close to 90deg to facing, the eyes should end really close to the outline to the face, or it'll look bad. Even if logically there should be more space there. This is just a disconnected fact.
In highly stylized images, you have to think in two ways. First one: construction, 3D form, perspective, reality, anatomy, light. Second one: shape, 2D form, composition, stylization, symbols. When you draw anime face start with construction, then swap to 2D/stylization and think in terms of shapes and relationships between them.

>>4132575
>I said to give him a day off
And by doing that he would give up on his streak.

>>4132571

What?

>>4132593
>>4132557

>>4132592
Not if he just reduced his posting frequency

>>4132573
I didn't say to give up, I said to not get worked up about submitting.

>>4132555
How often do you usually have to draw daily?

>>4132603
I want to draw all the time while I'm out of the house, and I usually draw a for a few hours on weekends or whenever I get to stay home all day. I just have lots of ideas running though me all the time. I can never find a comfortable place to draw when I'm out of the house though, and I'm usually busy with other stuff so I don't get to draw when I want to.

>>4132595
Doesn't changing your post frequency reset your streak?

>>4132611
It reduces to half(?) now

>>4132607
If life is super repetitive and taxing right now, I find that just going somewhere or doing something off the beaten path or out of my comfort zone can "reset" my drive to do things.

I don't know anything about you so I have no idea what this could be, but when I'm stuck in a repetitive rut seeing the same faces and going through the motions I get lethargic and lose my will in everything.

>>4132587

Yes, you are. But that's a good thing! Each one of them has at least 50 friends who could know someone in the industry! Maybe you could get a contact with someone that looks for an artist! Just show off your portfolio and explain what job are you looking for.

Unless you're shit. Then no, it's not a good thing, just backpedal out of this and say you meant doodling, not real drawing.

>>4132677

Huh. It really made me think about my personality and my attitude... and when I look back at my posting history it's clear that I AM an unlikeable, overly-critical twat. Will that hinder my goals? Should I fake being a positive, cheerful person just to get a fanbase faster?

>>4132728
You've taken a good first step by recognizing your own personality and attitude, and self-reflecting, if you can keep it up you too can one day become a daddy that enjoys pinching someone all over!

Anon A and B reacted to a random story positively. The same story filled me with disgust. Apparent contrast made me self aware of our differences. I'm asking are those differences significant and should I change my marketing plan accordingly (engage with community more, pretend to care about my fans and not just their money, make jokes and try to be more positive when I'm streaming and so on). Somehow people often can tell when I'm being dishonest like that, so I'm not sure will this gamble pay off. That's why I'm asking for opinions.

I'm not sure what are you confused about.

how's everyone feel about proko literally taking /dad/ and turning it into proko 2.0 ROFL

>>4132756
We'll sue him

>>4132756
He can't do anything to DAD except flood it with randoms that'll leave in 2 days cause he doesn't own SHIT (unless he bribe's banana with scalie lewds)

wait what? what's proko doing?

>>4132756
Explain

did proko shoutout DAD? he should join so we can fuck with him

>>4132756
>>4132761
Not him, but Proko is forcing himself to put jokes into his videos and to be positive. It's very obvious and cringy. He have similar personality and attitude as this guy: >>4132728 >>4132746

Whoops, meant to respond to >>4132765, not >>4132756

>>4132761
>>4132765
proko's going to open a new social network / online school where people can post assignments, get critiqued, there's also a point system and a virtual classroom, he also wants to have challenges/competitions.

no idea if it's free though

>>4132778
sounds gay, maybe it'll keep normalfags off of DAD though

>>4132778
LAS 4.0!?

>>4132778
He'll probably ban furry porn though.

I just want to say you guys are great. Keep up the good work.

>>4132818
Names?

>>4132822
fuck you, anon is talking to me

fellow daddy, what's your favorite painting ?

>>4132847

>>4132728
Instead of pretending, just try and be more positive as a person, even if it feels forced at times. Having a good outlook can improve a lot of aspects of your life.

Don't you already do your best?

any good general tips for daibbing?

>>4132933
Sure! Spend less time in this thread and more time actually drawing.

>>4132933
Just remember there’s plenty of time

>>4132885
Thanks bro!! My moods been swinging. This helped a lot. I’ll be cheering for you as well!!!

>>4132866
Great taste

>>4132847
can't have soul if you don't have tastes, come on daddies

>>4132866
there's something of a bashful intensity about those hidden faces, bright blue, beautiful things considered from a distance. I like yours

>>4132893
soul, but then also soulless

>>4132746
How old are you? Do you have any experience working in anything like retail?
It wasn’t until I spent a few years of working with clients (aka just talking to randos) that I realized you DO need to fake kindness/sociability for a while before you realize you actually get a bit of dopamine from having nice reactions from people. My whole school life I was DEFINITELY a shut in and unpleasant because I never realized this. I looked at anyone with a tight friend group as weaklings who needed others to support them. (That’s not to say I completely hate myself for being a bit of a lone wolf.)
But, it definitely doesn’t hurt to try simple things, act interested in what others are saying and ask questions about their life. Try not to talk only about yourself. Give advice. Compliment others. But don’t feel the need to change your entire personality.

>>4132933
Leave everything for the last 30 minutes before the deadline. The pressure will force you to do your absolute best.

Thanks for the comments juta. Coming from someone I look up to, it cheered me up a lot.

>tfw noticed this in the top-right of pixiv and had a giggle

would you stab a fellow daddy in the back if you'd get quick gains in return?

>>4133083
No! That's horrible...

>>4133083
who're we talking about stabbing here...

>>4133089

banana

>>4133083
For gains? I'd kidnap, crack the skull and eat his brain like an ice-cream.
I'd end up in jail, sure, but that's alright - I've heard tattoo artists, especially good ones, are respected there.

>>4133083
Not really, no.
But I wouldn't mind "stabbing" a mommy from behind, if you know what I mean ;^)

Beginners, baby daddies and other miscreants have been skipped, along with the ones I found had a strong aura.

Reminder that "practicing" isn't an excuse to neglect your soul. Soul needs to be practiced as well.

>>4133506
>lost soul
w-what does that mean

>>4133506
how do I practice the soul?

tfw lost my phone so i may lose my streak if i cant find it

>>4133506
is this a soul tier list? I don't get the order

>>4133083

It means you're a furry. i.e. sold your soul to satan.

nessie's in the middle so it's a crapshoot either way

>>4133559

you underestimate how scared I am of people making fun of my work

>>4133506
>skipped
>multiple /beg/'s in tier 1
is this a soul tier and not skill tier?

>>4133506

why am I always skipped. Does this community hate me that much?

>>4133563
Beginners aren't made fun of. It's actually the opposite. They are welcomed and encouraged.

>>4133564
I got in tier 3 and I was just thinking my work was pretty soulless. It can't be right.

>>4133566
You must increase your SOUL.

What the heck even is soul. People tell me I have it but I don't get it

Kinda wish I joined dad earlier for the militaryfu challenge

dead baby daddy drought... soul decreasing...

>>4133577
That doesn't stop you from drawing a military girl, does it?

>>4133576
It's a charming playfulness that the drawing has. One that tells you that the artist enjoyed and had fun drawing.

>>4133584
Millitaryfu challenge 2.0, cute boy edition

>>4133584
Yeah you're right, it doesn't

>>4133584
>One that tells you that the artist enjoyed and had fun drawing.
I had fun drawing something today. Just a demon-kid in a weird dress. I felt it was a good contrast because lately I've been doing a lot of studies and not personal work.

I have loads of fun when I'm drawing character and monster designs from my head, but I need to find that balance between doing that and studying to git gud.

post your BEST tier 5 (five) challenge ideas

>>4133589
What tier 5 challenges have we had so far, besides the seasonal ones?

>>4133506
>puts furries into the lost soul category
>doesn't include banana in it

>>4133567
Sometimes the SOUL comes from the artist and not the picture

>>4133591
There was some sort of blizzard concept art one I think?

>>4133594
Now the tier list makes sense.

>>4134888
posting right at rollover is perfectly legit
it was allways so, people live in different timezones

>>4134888
How many people have rollover exactly at (or close enough to) midnight for them?

>>4134888
People live in different timezones, the rollover happens at 5 pm for me so I sometimes submit stuff I did in the morning. So long as people aren't submitting art from over 24 hours before the rollover it shouldn't matter

>>4134888

The rules say the submission have to be work from within 24 hours of the submission period, I think most people take that to mean within 24 hours of when the submission day starts. I can say it's a lot more comfortable to work this way than to have your back against the end of the submission line.

Are there any daddies you look up to? Maybe enough for the muse challenge?

>>4134975

Does Naf count?

>>4134888
To be fair to these dads, I could have sworn it use to be 20 minutes, did Banana change it recently?

>>4134975
aim higher

>>4134975
mrpurin, j, hoppy, and most recently bessiebee

>>4134990
It's always been a minimum of 30 minutes per day. If you're gonna combine 3 10 min submissions then that counts too

>>4134888
>he's never heard of Team Forza

>>4134990
It's never been 20 minutes.

>>4131337
thanks for the advice, it's just that I suck at writing notes and need some tips on them (sounds stupid I know) since I either make them too short and sound incredibly awkward out loud or they're basically carbon copies of what I'm supposed to be writing down of fear that I might miss any needed information. I have no idea on how to shorten said notes without it being shit

also what do you mean by thinking of drawing as doing math? something like Khan Academy? I'm sorry if I'm asking too many pants on head questions

tier list WHEN?

is it possible to be a porn poster and still have soul
does soulful porn exist

>>4135157
Porn is the main class for sucking other people's souls so you'll have many souls if you spec into it.

Is it common to prefer shading on black and white rather than with color?
I feel like when adding color, it barely shows the shading and it looks muddy, what's a better way to prevent this?

You don't explictly need to write down things to study, but just make sure you know what you need to study for how to improve, there's always something you can be doing

By doing it like maths I mean
>think critically/intensely about what you're trying to learn

For example
If you're trying to learn how to draw a particular muscle, you can't just blindly copy the reference, you have to look at it from all different angles, think about how it looks in 3d space, draw it from angles without reference, etc to make sure you've understood it.

You could copy this picture perfectly pixel for pixel and it would look amazing but you wouldn't be able then draw it from imagination/from a different angle/in a different pose because you weren't thinking about it like a puzzle to be solved

You have to enter the study with a question
>why do the colours look good
>why do the proportions look good
>how do the muscles turn and twist
>etc
seek to answer that question

>>4135516
Thanks! I've been practicing mindlessly/focusing on the unimportant stuff for the past couple years and lately I've feeling pretty down about my (lack of) progress.

I realized I struggle with critically evaluating my work and determining what to focus on, and I think it's these factors that have been hurting my growth. It sounds kinda dumb but I guess I'm never sure what to hone in on or how I should be spending my time because I kind of need improvement in every aspect.

>>4135607
Focus on what you think you need the most or what you want to learn the most. If you can't think anything then think about how would you like to draw and then think how to get closer to it.

>>4135619
Alright! Again, thank you so much for your advice. I need to stop overthinking and getting into thought loops.

>>4131761
