how did mathias find dad? he's in another class of his own, if our best furry dads are tier 5 he's tier 10

>>4163886
none of the furry dads are tier 5

>>4163892
but I am

>>4163886
is he in the discord?

>>4163878
>Please comment on each other artwork because DAD's children love attentions

Autoreiv has potential. It was a nice comp. Needs work but very good for a study. Koki today did a very cool bikini girl. I'd like to see more volume in his forms from him. Engeeeml did a cool hand study, but for now needs to forget about color and go back to solid form studies. Paganini did a cutie blue furry. Very nice, but she needs to put her subjects on the ground so they don't appear to be floating at closer inspection. Shadows and light direction might help. Vovi, I don't know much about hamptom but don't be afraid to complete the circle all around the form (arms, legs, torso). Doing so will make you see the figure in 3D, right now you are contouring. Alarios, you have good form, but please work longer on the lower values of color before jumping into highlights. The brushstrokes get lack integration. Nice choosing of photo tho. I liked the dress in Meru and it was very cute. Would like to see the legs though, or their form suggested. Tang's mountains were very cool. Liked the brown color of the paper and how it contrasted. Burnit, resist the urge to drop works. That "unfinished" piece you gave up on has potential. The angle is great and while I get that doing the face in that angle is hard, there's no place better to try than here. Wilbe, from afar the colours and the tiger look nice. However the head of the tiger is in 3/4 so the ear closest to you should be bigger than the one further away. Same with the cheek bones of the tiger. But the right cheek is double the size this time than the left. It's not that big of a difference in size while is 3/4

Ty Anon! These kind of posts are very appreciated

Thank you Shriney, I forgot that user's name

Is this a good way to practice to make it?
>trace mask over photos in different poses
>get refs of character on the side
>draw character on top of mask

>>4164019
Well, it's better than nothing. Too much photo practice will get your works stiff tho

>>4163892
i hope more furries join dad,most of their work has been high quality so far

>>4164042
except for the last week

>>4164005
Ugh, every time I think I understand something about hatching, I see something like this. How is it so scribbly, but it looks so clean?

>>4164050
what does that supposed to mean :(

>>4164050
You mean every time

>>4163928
>Engeeeml did a cool hand study, but for now needs to forget about color and go back to solid form studies

thanks,but I'm a tad bit confused, I heard that you shouldn't tackle construction until you've gotten the hang of drawing what you see (Keys to Drawing), but I've been stuck on the first few lessons for months at this point and I desperately want to move on to Perspective Made Easy since that's what I'm supposed to do after I'm done with KtD

I remember watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpqEE9yU474)) which helped me with shapes back then, should I rewatch that or skip to FWAP and copy the 3d forms in the start of the book?

>>4164128
Take everyone's advice with a grain of salt. Sometimes you can have too many chefs in the kitchen. People have good advice but everyone is different and some peoples advice will clash.

Giving my hand a rest today so I decided to make a progress thingy.

part 2

>>4164162
pls dont bully me about the typos.

>>4164162
youve made some nice gains, make sure to take care of yourself and your wrist though

>>4164160
>>4164162
you're one of my favorite artists on the site so this is really inspirational

>>4164162
Please keep on resting and healing, I love your art.

>>4164128
I will tell you what I see about your hands. And if you want, you will best tackle in however method you please.

If I'm not mistaken you first try to do a contourn of the hand and then you imagine the shadows with a color. The thing is, acording to what I see, your contours are way off. That's because in a way you are symbol drawing.

The first hand at top left appears off because at the moment you aren't noticing the difference between the anatomical structures of metacarpal and the fingers proper. If I were you, but then again I'm not so feel free to tackle it as you please, I'd start not seeing hands but rather full square prisms as fingers, a big cube as carpal bones and an egg and cillinder as thumb bone and thumb finger respectively.

Then again, the other anon is right, the too many chefs is a real thing, so take anything with a grain of salt.

Jesus fucking christ that was a close one

>>4164128
>I heard that you shouldn't tackle construction until you've gotten the hang of drawing what you see
Or else, what?

>that's what I'm supposed to do after...
You can try more than one activity at a time. It's also okay to jump around, especially if you're stuck for months on the same thing. Concepts can build upon each other, so for example working on something like perspective might come back to help your construction education.

Art (learning) isn't some sort of video game with unlockable tiers. Try new techniques and lessons. Experiment. Fail. Learn. Explore.

>>4164170
>>4164172
>>4164176
>>4164232
you guys are so nice... I was feeling kinda bad so thank you.

>>4164246
>Art (learning) isn't some sort of video game with unlockable tiers.

This so much. One big regret I have is putting off finishing pictures and using colors for way too long, and took a long time for it to catch up with my sketch skills.

>>4164255
you're a good daddy, stay safe and keep it up!

>>4164128
>I heard that you shouldn't tackle construction until you've gotten the hang of drawing what you see

Construction is drawing what you see. But if you at first don't understand the form, you construct what you see with the basic shapes. If by construction you mean "construction from imagination", that's not the same as using basic shapes and lines for drawing what you see.

F for fallen daddies.

>>4164160
>>4164162
I'm just gonna say it, I like your 2018 stuff more.
Fellow daddy starting with ponies as well. Great stuff

>>4164476
I was gonna try to keep going but my car engine stopped working so I was busy. I'm sorry for letting you down, daddies ;~;

>>4164162
what happened to your wrist anon?? mine has been acting up lately and im scared i'm going to fuck it up.... but my gains rn are massive and i dont want to stop drawing, either....

progress challenge where you have to redraw the first thing you ever uploaded to DAD

just saw hoppy's art in an animal crossing youtube video. Don't know why I'm mentioning this, but it just felt odd to see a dad's art someplace else.
Really liked that bob, by the way

My knuckles hurt and stiffen when I draw.

>>4164853
wtf are you doing?

>>4164852
Wherever you go... I'll be there.....

>>4164855
Drawing without stopping

>>4164879

good evening frens

>>4164900

who has the most badger points on dad?

>>4164567
Yeah I agree with you desu. I had a very clear image of how I wanted my art to look before my hand injury. However now that a year has passed I’m testing the waters again and seeing what works and what doesn’t. Thanks for the feedback

>>4164601
I did very intense stretches everyday to avoid injury. However I pushed my hands to hard and over time the stretches I did actually adjusted my carpal bones causing them to lock up and grind against each other. It was a very obscure injury and no one knew how to fix it until recently.

>>4164966
jesus christ

>>4164966
lol. glade you are feeling better.

>>4164966
how hard are we talking?
I've been doing wrist exercises too and want to make sure I'm not going too hard

>>4164966
I winced

>>4164162
Blog?

oof

howw are youo all doing fellow daddes

>>4164162
Blog?

I can’t wait to see everyone’s horrible taste in music.

I love bezdomny’s inktober drawings from the past couple days!

I've never done a wrist exercise in my life. I don't fear carpal tunnel

next cute boys challenge when?

>>4165078
When i started caligraphy I learned that one should write with the whole arm and the wrist and hand movement be minimal. It was hard at first but for me it payed off

>>4165078
No one under the age of 60 has ever told me to do wrist exercises and there was a point when I was legit drawing 6 hours a day with minimal repercussions and around older artists every day. Maybe if you already have existing joint problems...?

The thing im really afraid of is damaging my eye sight. Ever since I got into digital art more my eyes have gotten significantly worse every check up. Trying to get better with taking breaks. Doc says to take a break and look at something far off in the distance every 20minutes.

https://drawingacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/How-to-get-the-most-out-of-a-life-drawing-class-1.jpg is the image i used today, so the arms i drew weren't from ref. trying to avoid copying images exactly as they are but i'm probably not doing myself any favours this far at the beginning

>>4165110
Same thing happens to me. Our eyes like a camera lens and and we have little muscles that adjust our eye lens. But when we look too much at a screen the musles don't get to work and you get worse at focusing. I try to balance digital and trad a little for this reason

>>4165110
>tfw thought eye was getting worse
>turns out it was exactly the same
Perception really makes you imagine the worst. I’m like banana but worse.

>>4165110
I need to do this too.
I have a damn office job and it's so fucked up, stare at screen for 8 hours while glued to a chair.

I go to the gym now but I'm seriously concerned with my health and eyesight.

>>4165170
>Our eyes like a camera lens and and we have little muscles that adjust our eye lens. But when we look too much at a screen the musles don't get to work and you get worse at focusing.
oof, this explains why my long eyesight has been gradually deteriorating

>>4164966
What the fuck? That can happen? What if you do this with other body parts like your back and neck?

>>4165220
Your skeleton seizes up and every bone fuses together.

>>4164966
Did they adjust towards or away from the direction you push?

take care of yourself daddies

>>4165290
Do you have one for arms in general, shoulders/neck and back?

>>4165056
Thank you so much anon! I've been enjoying seeing the inktober challenge a whole lot, there are so many really great daddies who are doing cool inking stuff that it's got me wishing I spent a bit more time just playing with the medium rather the little fountain pen figures I'd been grinding earlier. I really like Notosh's inktober submissions, and all of tabascoshrimp's feel really high effort, Nirest's pen and watercolor/wash/Jamie Hewlett stuff looks fun and stylish and has a lot of variety, also I'm sad that Kazoo got eliminated because that little dragon at the start was so cool I was very hyped to see more, a bit too many other neat stuff from daddies to mention but I'm really enjoying everyone's stuff so much.

I am still happy that I am drawing with ink.

Meru's submission today reminds me of Milo Manara.

I learned the 20/20/20 rule while studying software engineering.

When you're working on a screen for long periods of time: every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 meters/yards away, for at least 20 seconds.

>>4165564
Is it better to study Software engineering over CS?

You don't have to quit 4chan to fix your life, you just need to do more positive things in your life and then 4chan won't bother you so much

>>4165564
Huh, 20/20/20. Very interesting anon. I'llt try it out. Just curious, did you set up an alarm? I know that I can get pretty in the zone and have two hours fly by me,

Derp why the fuck do you keep losing your streak, are you really that bad?

>>4163878
>echo did a cool figure study.

>Vovi did a tape holder study. Nicely done. If you can, in a future try to put a background or at least a shadow in the floor. Look for it in the real life model.

>BigBoople, that shield is way too big and the helmet way too small. Perspective is achieved after observation of proportions. But congrats on trying new things

>Ativor strugging with streaks, but did a wonderful figure and coloured. Excelent proportions.

>Autoreiv doing wonderful portrait study digitally.

>Cath laying the groundwork for our "inpiration" in his birthday card.

>Koki, this is some low effort stuff. If you feel in a rut, try to do a collage, or pollock dripping or just, I dunno, something cool.

>Almostgoodatanatomy made a Frida khalo profile. Liked it and liked the face.

>Silvemis did a warpig. It makes me think of Mononoke. Really a new level for her in detail and ambition.

>Meru had fun even if she didn't make something "good". She wins today.

>Notosh achieving good face volume with ink. Surely will pay off in future.

>>4165689

> Banana doing brush control studies.
This is like, an overwhelmingly and hilariously neutral sentiment.
Everyone else is like "work harder", "try something different", or "well done" and "excellent proportions", but this one is just "Banana's doing a thing."

i can't take crits and tier lists seriously anymore after the anon in the last thread said he purposefully back pats artists so they can't improve

>>4165691
He's been doing prefabricated studies for a good while now. They look nice and he's good at it. For that reason I'd rather see tomorrow from banana a coloured crayon stickman with soul than another prefab digital study.

>>4165707

At the end of the day you're another day older
And that's all you can say for the life of the dad
It's a struggle, being bad
Crits are worthless on your messy scribbles
One more day going through DAB, what is it for?
One day more drawing symbols

At the end of the day you're still stuck as a loner
And the art that you make doesn't excite or thrill
And your peers rocket past
They're gains dwarf what progress you're making
And old age is coming on fast, losing your will
One day nearer to dying

At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And our Clover's Good Morning is prepared to post
Daddies wake up pen in hand
The Tribunal will come any second
There are cheaters to be banned
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
There's gonna be hell to pay

>>4164160
>>4164162
That's pretty sweet, do you remember how you started out at the very beginning? Like what did you learn first or what books/videos did you read/watch? I know there's the /beg/ thread, but I thought it would be interesting to know from somebody that very noticably improved over the years

>>4167954
Do you think he used some secret resource you don't know about to improve?

>>4167974
I know you bastards are hiding it somewhere

I haven't been at this very long, but I am already feeling like I don't have anything to submit and like I'm not really enjoying posting something every day. It seems to get exponentially harder to come up with something new to do that meets the standards and requirements, and I feel like every post of mine has to be better than the last.

Anyone else felt this way? I really want to enjoy drawing, but the high level of people posting makes me feel inadequate when I submit some random scribbles.

>>4167982
Abandon the shackle of trying to please random onlookers and focus on drawing what you want or need to draw to improve.

>>4167974
>>4167975
I just wanted to know what he used, be it secret or not

>>4167982

One of the main points of drawing/doing anything every day is to get you into a habit that can carry you through the times when you don't have motivation.

>>4167951

But the anime posters are the only truly based posters on the site.

>>4167982
>standards and requirements
There is no such thing. Just look at certain users.

>I feel like every post of mine has to be better than the last.
This makes no sense unless you're pumping finished piece after finished piece. It's a bad mentality.

>>4167991
Yes, /dad/ has done wonders for me in this regard, I get the urge and habit to draw every day, even though it's not super impressive each time.

>>4168017
>Just look at certain users
Wouldn't be surprised if you include me in that list friend.

Anyway, inspired by your words, I have drawn something today, and I will keep my streak up.
Arigatou, daddy-samas!

>>4168074
>daddy-samas
>samas
At least I know you're a weebfaggot. That narrows it down. Now All I have to do is look at the recent submission within the next 2 hours.

>>4168080
I bet it's awful. Hello awful

Many nice submissions today

>>4167927

come at me then

Not going to mention everyone, but I haven't really seen a submission for today that I didn't like in some way

>Hornedbrain
Your drawing has a lot of character, even though it's not entirely correct
>tsflipp
Nice legs
>Choob
Cute boy, but why didn't you finish his foot? Really like the face though
>Dare
Impressive rendering on the bust of Caesar (?), also I don't think the weight of that handstand is in the right place
>Hoppy
Cute... thing? Really pleasant colours
>BigBoople
Points for the subject matter, really captured the essence of the subject
>KazooKD
Can I be your apprentice? Very nice furry boi

I can tell which image you copied, good job! Sculpting in that way really is fun

vol 2, should've just done everyone
>Rhomphy
Solid gestures, I feel the same when it comes to pencil, something about having a sharper point?
>Eddin
The real badge is in your heart. I like the contrast in the picture
>Autoreiv
Interesting start, wish you had differentiated the chracters at the bottom a bit more though (or maybe you will do that in the future?)
>Beretboy
Nice doggo, it's important to take it easy as well
>Negakona
Very relaxing picture, could benefit from something more in the background though
>Retard
This looks like it's going to be interesting once it's finished
>Creatue
I like the expression, proportions are a bit long, but it looks like that's intentional
>Dranandrom
Nice use of colour, hand could use a bit more work
>Koki
It's good that you keep drawing every day, I would suggest trying to set out vanishing points on the paper so that you get the perspective right
>Alarios
Nice perspective on the left one
>Nirest
Spooky!
>Fujo
Cute teacup boy, really like your soft style
>MysticLog
I like the side profile, shoulder needs a bit of work on the left one

Lots of small doodles, that mecha guy is cool

D'Va is cute, very clean lines

Lots of character in the guy with the hat, also like the expression of bottom right

You'll get the hang of pen drawing if you keep at it, very satisfying once you do
>Bessiebee
Angry boi, I don't remember if that is a pokemon or not, definitely recognize the face tho
>Cath
Scary... the dead guy on the right seems a bit too short
>Mathias Osland
Nice work as usual, I don't know enough to critique this
>Awful
Nice work on the body, I feel like you could try and make the eyes a bit more expressive though, even with an anime style

>>4168162
>>4168192
Thank you bro

>>4168192
>Seal
Good that you are trying to not chicken scratch as much, proportions still need work.
>Fuggit
As long as you get it done, time doesn't really matter. Just enjoy the process
>VuSta
Quite an original character, I like the idea, but not sure the stinger should be at that angle
>Silvemis
Low-effort is still effort, keep at it
>Ass eater sixty nine
NIcely abstract face, his hair almost looks like it's on fire
>Ravioli
I like the angularity (?) the shading gives it, also I feel you should expand on that guy on the bottom right, looks like he might be an interesting character
>Paganini
Face structure is a bit wonky on the girl on the right, really nice eyes though. Might be good to use construction techniques to align everything. The guy on the left is also nice
>Grabstein
Repetition is the key to learning or however that saying goes. Good gesture on the dude that's kneeling.
Drawing in public probably feels worse than it actually is, you'll get used to it

>why didn't you finish his foot
It was blocked behind something in the reference and I'm not confident enough with feet to just make it up. Thanks for the nice comments lad

With each year my art keeps on regressing, this isn't okay.

>>4168241
And it feels like I'm hitting myself in the face whenever I'm doing traditional too

progress challenge, post your progress and remake your first drawing at the end of it

>>4168244
Wouldn't my progress include my first drawing?

>>4168244
Ive deleted too many embarassments to have a complete progress post

>>4168244
i thought about a redraw challenge, it'd be fun
someone make it plz

>>4168244
the problem with this is that "first drawing" is a bit too strict, arbitrary, and variable. I'm sure a lot of daddies weren't really sure if they were even going to make something another day when they first started, comparing a 30 minute thing you did on a whim to something a year later with more deliberate time is a bit misleading, maybe something like "pick an early drawing" would work better, or "pick one of your first"

>>4168244
I'd love to see all the daddies progresses!

>>4168267
i agree

redrawing something from a year or 2 ago sounds good

but many daddies are baby daddies so it shouldn1t be restricted to dad submissions

>>4168299
poor baby daddies

>>4164847
>>4168244

>>4168162
Aw thanks Anon! I'm afraid I wouldn't have a lot to teach you.

Maybe this is pretty pointless since it's not even been a year but I had to waste time somehow. Technically I started in june but assignments in art class in school taught me how to stop symbol drawing. That's about it.

>>4168376
There is no way you've just been drawing under 6 months. I refuse to believe it.

>>4168383
I used to draw a lot when I was 10 or so, but I never pursued it beyond that point. Actually, I got discouraged by my family, lol. I think that helped me to feel the form a bit easier. I drew for a couple of weeks on paper before going digital and did loomis blooks that looked like this.

>>4168192
>Autoreiv
>Interesting start, wish you had differentiated the chracters at the bottom a bit more though (or maybe you will do that in the future?)

Thank you! Oh absolutely! That's the plan.

>>4164847
>>4168244
>>4168338
kek
and no one makes the challenge anyway

>I used to draw a lot when I was 10 or so, but I never pursued it beyond that point. Actually, I got discouraged by my family, lol. I think that helped me to feel the form a bit easier. I drew for a couple of weeks on paper before going digital and did loomis blooks that looked like this.

You're pretending to be a beginner. What do you gain from doing so?

>>4168459
Unless you're Asian. If so then never mind as that explains everything.

>>4168463
God I wish I was Asian.

Will pre-tribunal stuff be grandfathered in?

i didnt realize how much shit i've drawn

>>4168475
probably should have included more recent stuff but didn't want to make it any bigger

>>4168469
Oh no

>>4168459
It's ironic since one of the most recurrent thoughts I had was I should stop pretending to be intermediate. I don't really care whether you believe me or not. I deleted because I believed I was calling too much attention onto myself.

>>4168469
QUICK! CHEAT WHILE YOU CAN!

>>4168475
I knew who you were from the first drawing there. It's funny how some things never seem to change.

>someone eliminated while posting before deadline
nani?

>>4168493
If there’s a redraw challenge I’ll definitely redraw mimei. Winter DR was the most fun I’ve ever had on this site, I wish something would have came of it but it was still fun.

If he drew a lot when younger, I think that would make a big difference in starting point. Most of what makes those early drawings not look like day 1 drawings is the line quality, which comes from practice.

>>4168531
it's a scam

>>4168531
so fucking true, this is BULLSHIT, IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR

>tfw asian and garbage

>>4168376
wow, going from nothing to that skull is insane, is this what being a prodigy is like

I've only been drawing for ~3 months so it's pretty irrelevant, but even with what I have I don't know how I'd organize it into an improvement collage. Everything I've done has been so wildly different from each other.

>>4168545
defective asian genes, but maybe you're good at STEM, music or something along those lines.

>>4168546
Not even close. All these people cap out soon. If you want to see a prodigy? Naf. That guy seems to grow with no limits. He seems so casual about drawing, but at the same time hard working. He makes complex seem simple and seems fine easily handle issues left and right. Naf even enters a manga contest just for fun and beats out that other /ic/ artist who worked his hardest to make it. His potential is frightening.

>>4168550
how long has naf been drawing?

>>4168546

The skull is a ctrlPaint exercise. You get a .psd to work of of, IIRC.

>>4168546
Being a xerox machine doesn't take much practice.

>>4168550
Naf is lying about his drawing experience. For all you know he could have been getting mentored.

>>4168556
Oh yeah? Lets see you Xerox machine something.

>>4168556
it still takes at least some practice though, unless they're lying about how much they drew before, it's still crazy impressive

>>4168556
>imagine believing this
If everyone could attain the skills to be a xerox machine. Like 80% of artists would be significantly happier.

>>4168560
I am the one who drew the skull. Anyway, I wouldn't do it again. It's not fun and you don't learn much if you do it without purpose.

How do I get the prodigy trait so I can skip 2000 hours of drawing and get the x2.5 exp modifier? I put too many points into the lazyshit and wastetimeoninternet traits. Thanks.

>>4168553
The true artist answer or the normie answer? Obviously to normies, it would be easy to a set amount of years or “I started “”seriously”” from this point” and they’ll think they get it. In truth though? Experience comes your entire life. The answer he gave on his blog is casually until college which was 2014.

>>4168558
I doubt it. The dude is in asia which is already full of impressive people and materials too. It might just be lucky influence since there are a lot of viet anime/manga artists that are moderately good.

>>4168575
>I doubt it. The dude is in asia

What part? Depending on where I'm guessing that explains the quick advancement.

>>4168575
>The dude is in asia
>viet
Oh yeah, fucking asian genes again.

>>4168571
the lazyshit and wastetimeoninternet traits are negative traits so they would have given you points back.

you probably wasted all your pointbuy traits by maxing out the "complain instead of being proactive and reflecting upon your faults" trait.

>>4168591
>the "complain instead of being proactive and reflecting upon your faults" trait
surely that's a negative trait too, the "being good at videogames" trait is a popular trait that takes up a lot of points

>>4168594
no, its a niche trait thats used in the Karen build to keep the "Ego" statbar high, anon is just utilizing it wrong and the exp + productivity penalty it gives is actually harming him

>>4168597
oh I see, thanks anon, I should read up on traits more

>>4168536
To be fair you can't really see how awful the line quality is when it's scaled down that much.

Where's the progress challenge

>>4168625
you have to make it :^)

>He seems so casual about drawing
I think on the podcast he was talking about 6 hours a day or something, it's worth pointing out that he almost never posted on the site unless it was something finished looking, so it's really hard to tell what was going on behind the scenes.

next kringle stream tomorrow? :3

Kringle here. I won't be able to stream until November.

>>4169408

i have a few questions

is it to late to start posting my art?

do i post in this thread?

do i need to join the discord for updates and info?

can i post my sumbitions on here and also post it on my newgrounds account?

can i post my art name?

where are the rankings for the artists that remain?

and final question, can you anons be my art friend's?

>>4169648
Post art so I can decide correctly.

>>4169648
yeah I can't be artsy friendsies with a fucking scrub

>>4169618
everyone is

>>4169652
i hate kringle

>>4169648
1. no, why would it be too late
2. you don't need to post in the thread if you don't want to
3. same with the discord
4. you can crosspost anything from dad it doesn't matter
5. sure, if you want
6. what do you mean by rankings?
7. if you let me eat your gains first

>>4169657
tsundere~

>>4169648
>is it to late to start posting my art?
No, new people are showing up all the time, join in whenever you feel like it.

>do i post in this thread?
You should make an account and post your art here: https://dad.gallery/
People don't usually post their art in the threads, these are more for talking about art you see on the site.

>do i need to join the discord for updates and info?
No, but there's a lot of cool stuff in the las discord worth checking out. Banana, the site owner posts about site updates in the thread whenever announcements are made.

>can i post my sumbitions on here and also post it on my newgrounds account?
You can post your stuff anywhere.

>can i post my art name?
Sure, unless you mean like an "about me" section on the site, that doesn't exist yet.

>where are the rankings for the artists that remain?
https://dad.gallery/challenges/1
Scroll down a little on this.

>and final question, can you anons be my art friend's?
Yeah!

>>4169650
>>4169648
here is a digital drawing i did yesterday

>>4169650
>>4169648
and here is an art commission i did last year for a client using prisma colors.

>>4169648
>is it to late to start posting my art?
No, it's not too late!

>do i post in this thread?
No, check the OP, you submit to dad.gallery, there are people in DAD that don't even know about threads.

>do i need to join the discord for updates and info?
No, there are people in DAD that don't even know about the discords.

>can i post my sumbitions on here and also post it on my newgrounds account?
You submit to dad.gallery to participate in this community, and you can post to wherever else you want as well of your own free will.

>can i post my art name?
Yes.

>where are the rankings for the artists that remain?
Check dad.gallery

>and final question, can you anons be my art friend's?
Only if you last longer than a few years.

>>4169265
i summoned her back!

>>4169672
<3

Also would anyone be interested in a minimum 20 page comic challenge. I want to try doing that many in a month and Daddies seem to like difficult challenges, so I wonder if it would be fun to do as a group

>>4169834
I'd be up for it

>>4169834
LAS had a monthly comic challenge, it was 10 pages in 20 days, 2 submissions: roughs after the first 10 days, final comic at the end
10 pages in a month was considered too difficulty for a number of participants with a few lassies asking for it to be reduced to 8 pages

>>4169863
also, illustrations for a front page and a back page used to count towards it too

>sola deleted her account
loser

>>4169873
What? Can you do that?

>>4169873
why did they do it?

>>4169873
Who

>>4169873

What? She's still around. What are you talking about?

https://dad.gallery/users/1331

>>4169863
20 pages in a month is totally doable, I've done it myself before. This is just something I planned to do on my own time, and I figured I might as well see if other people would want to join in on the ride. 20 pages in a month isn't difficult if you set reasonable expectations for what your pages will look like and remain dedicated, which is kind of the point.
Idk, if people think it is too much I will not make it.

>>4169873

But it's still there? Their submission is on the latest page even.

>>4169834
>>4169863
do 4komas count

>>4169873

Rover, uh I mean, Sola?

>>4169900
I think so, they're still manga aren't they? That should count.

>>4169894
Make it!

>>4169834
>>4169863
>>4169894
definitely a tier 4 or 3 challenge, 4 if it's expected to be finished final pages

>>4167954
Once I started doing live figure drawing my art would improve drastically. DO as much life drawing as possible in my opinion. Everyone's different tho so.

What would a tier 5 challenge even look like?

>>4169956
it doesn't exist apparently

>>4169956
https://dad.gallery/challenges/32
I'm pretty sure this is the only tier 5 challenge DAD has ever had, it's a monster of a thing.

>>4169956
>make something you're genuinely proud of and happy with

>>4169962

DAIB 2.0

>>4170075
why wasn't daib 1.0 prestige 5?

How come I can work a job for 40-60 hours a week for 2000 hours a year but I can't draw for more than 2 hours a day??

>>4170078
Because you work a job for 40-60 hours a week for 2000 hours a year

>>4170076
Because whoever made the challenge knew people wouldn't put more than a couple days of effort.

>>4170090
I worked on mine for 2 weeks :(

>>4169935
>>4169911
https://dad.gallery/challenges/99
Hope this looks alright.
Tried to make the rules flexible, you can make whatever sort of comic you'd like so long as it is a complete comic page. Whether you want to try doing complex, painted pages of a deep story or simple 4koma gag strips is up to you. It just has to be a comic.

>>4170100
>score 20
how do scores work in challenges?
like, if you submit two different submissions in the same day to a challenge does it up the score by 2?
and shdoul we split spreads in half and submit them separately?

>>4170104
I believe each submission counts as a point, even if it is submitted on the same day. If that is not the case, I will alter the challenge.

>>4170108
>each submission counts as a point
This is correct if the frequency is set to none

>>4170115
I meant you can submit multiple entries within a day I believe. If frequency is set to daily, only one submission on that day counts for the challenge

>>4170100
let's make this monthly like with LAS, or bimonthly, it'll be like we're running a real comic

>>4170008
Be the change you want to see.

Ranking time

>>4169863
This made me nostalgic, do you have more screenshots of the original LAS? I'ts been so much time I don't remember how it was anymore

>>4169873
From what banana said it sounds like my account was recreated to fix a bug that happened when I posted. Don't ask me why it worked that way. Although honestly, I'm more surprised anyone had my profile address saved to notice something like that, because I didn't.
