Is that babs from tiny toon adventures?

>>6500458
She is Lola Bunny

Is practicing and studying for 3/4 hours daily too much? Been doing it for a little more than a week and it kind of makes art feel like some sort of job despite my personal pieces and doodling ability improving.

>>6500453
what point in drawing these heads if they never going to make animation?

>>6500480
I'd burnout pretty damn fast if i was doing that many hours, that's for sure.

What’s with all the Lola recently

>>6500480
depends if you are practicing right or just mindlessly get it done mentality etc. if you dont actively do anythign to improve and just repeat osme exercise you arent really sure why you are doing, you obviously wont improve even after hundreds of hours. if you slow down and analyze your practice exercises and actively look for mistakes and correct them, then you should improve.

for example, if you are doing ellipses or line weight or feathering/crosshatching and just scribble lines, thats not accomplishing anything. you are finishing the exercise, but its the same mistakes as the day before. you just wasted 15 minutes doing it or whatever.

when im in portrait mode, i'll do loomis heads from free references and full construction, etc. takes about half hour to do a head or two, depending on angle/difficulty/if i render it at all. the point is i am focusing on measurements, anatomy and actively measuring and trying to improve my portraits and construction. i'm not just filling a page with doodle heads and calling it practice. sometimes ill do the literal loomis plates.

practice makes perfect, but practicing wrong will always be wrong.

>>6500540
I am doing the best to improve as quickly as I can regarding what I want to get competent at (general character design, lineart, detailing, dynamic poses, explicit coom, hands, foreshortening, faces and expressions, and related while also ignoring stuff like rendering, environments, mecha, etc. for now just to get good faster at character art), so internalizing and practicing often core techniques and methods is a must for consistent and increasing quality in what I produce. So you can't say I am someone who just draws a full page of mindless Loomis heads and call it a day since my focus is clear from the start, tho I might need to produce more finished pieces and learn how to doodle just for fun in general as well.

What's the best way to stay inside the lines when I digitally color?

Do you really need to learn all those art techniques for webcomics (like webtoons)? I feel like many of the top ones do not have that much quality (compared to mangas, for example), except when the author gets rich and pays good artists to draw for them or something like that.

tl;dr attention-seeker who made a lot of repetitive blogposts. The archetypal Gabe thread involves whining about catching up to "rivals" he feels a one-sided sense of competition towards and vague goals, but since the former by itself isn't that uncommon sometimes people get accused of being him.

Anons can you help me find a painting I saw posted here ages ago?
It was a traditional painting, a POV shot of a man either throwing a punch or swinging something at the viewer, against a stark blue sky and brown earth background. In particular, I remember his arm having a really pronounced motion blur/smear effect painted in.

Anyone work with gouache? I have some bristol tier paper I use for ink work. Thick paper that holds up to nibs and too thick for normal printers, etc. Is that fine for doing gouache or do I need actual water color paper/the cotton looking stuff? most are doign it in sketchbooks. looks like mixed media stuff. just curious if theres anything i should avoid.

https://www.amazon.ca/Arteza-Watercolor-Painting-Drawing-Sketchbooks/dp/B07BHBRHR4/

thats one i was looking at if i had to buy. also,

https://www.amazon.ca/Ohuhu-Mixed-Media-Paper-Pad/dp/B091YCMF17

ive used this for markers and inking. would it handle gouache as well?

any other options recommended? i have desk i can tape loose paper down to if a ream of it is better or can use a sketchbook if cheaper better options.

a cool discord to ask dumbass questions
https://discord.gg/HswQzN8g

When I want to draw something, what all should I be attempting to mark with lines? The only things I've worked out so far is that an object against a background should have its silhouette outlined, and hard edges formed by surface geometry (such as the corners of a wooden crate) should be marked with lines. Unfortunately, that seems to cover very few of the things I need to be marking in order to create something that actually resembles a drawing. What do I need to add to that list?

Alternately, am I approaching this the wrong way? The things I intuitively want to mark with lines are mostly highlights, which doesn't work out well, and I'm having trouble finding an alternative to trusting my faulty instincts.

what's the correct resolution for 1000x1000 pixels? I'm using Krita

>>6506347
DPI/PPI only matters if you're going to print it. See the manual: https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/working_with_images.html

>>6506349
I see! so... lowering the resolution to 1 for example wouldn't affect anything at all other than when printing it? would lowering it improve app performance? (I have a lower end pc) tysm for the info

>>6506350
only the pixels matter

>>6506350
It actually doesn't affect anything other than printing (including performance), if you set it to 0 it'll be fine and even if you change your mind later you can change it to a printable DPI with no issue as long as you kept the original .kra file.
If you have a lower end PC it might be worth checking out AzPainter or MyPaint if you're on Linux. Krita itself might be a bigger issue than the canvas size, for most stuff you'd want at least 2K.

>>6506391
thanks for the recomendations, but I'm in love with Krita, and I'm just an absolute chaos with multitasking and use 5 workspaces at the same time, 1000x1000 is fluid enough with Krita, no need to flush it, just wanted to know if I could scratch some performance lol

>>6506349
is there even any reason to go lower than 300dpi?

Does anyone have the funny uma musume screenshots from the pixiv comments thread? Please gib I forgot to save

>>6506514
majority of digital do greyscale to color. many do blender markup and photobashing stuff first and then it lets them go from greyscale to color and change things with basically click of a button to see if they want a different pallet or hair color or whatever effect. even for landscales, you can get your values in greyscale and then move to color. its like making thumbnails first traditionally.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmVtTaucpj8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDB-25rweM8

dont know the quality of these videos. just first few that came up that looked like were doing it. gradient maps, greyscale to color, etc will bring up more videos in searches.

How can you get a baraag account nowadays? How does the invite system work?

>>6506504

No reason to go higher than 72 if it's not going to be printed. And I guess it's 600 for print nowadays.

So when it comes to drawing from life, is it best to break the subject down into simple shapes/forms and then "draw what you see"?

>>6508095
It's best, no a necessity, to start with blocking the drawing in the space of your canvas/paper. Measure from top to bottom, left to right and do a sort-of connect the dots lines to block the general "shape" your drawing will take up. Once your done with that and know for a fact that no part of the model's head/limbs will be cut outside of the canvas then you move in with large free strokes that give you the feeling of the pose and it's gesture. It is best to make them with your shoulder/elbow. It really doesn't matter what the subject matter is, a couple of cans have a line of placement and so-on. THEN you start breaking the subject/model into simple shapes on top of the free lines and IN the confined space you mapped in the begging.

If I'm drawing a piece and it doesn't come out that well, is it worth it to redraw it from scratch or is it better to just give up on the piece?

is google dead internet theory real or are there really only like 5 people that uplaod videos of gouache tutorials and no matter how much i search ill never find anyone else on youtube?

>>6506347
>what's the correct resolution for 1000x1000 pixels?
1000x1000 pixels is always going to be 1000x1000 pixels, no matter what value you put in dpi, it wont add or remove pixels from your image, you can always change it afterwards, its information for printing, it only make sense if you have physical dimension too. for example 210 x 297 mm (a4 print size) printed with 300dpi, you will need roughly 2400x3500 pixels image to print it that way, but if you want to print lower quality 150dpi at same a4 size then you only need around 1200x1700 pixels image.

>>6508928
I'm not actually goid at art so take this with a grain of salt, but I would think the best thing to do to improve would be to fix what's wrong with it.
Giving it a good look over and examine why it turned out wrong will let you learn what not to do. Redoing the bad parts will teach you how to do it right.

hi anons, how would you describe these types of color palettes? pearlescent? opalescent?

is it just desaturated darker grays next to light pastels? I think Yuming Li (top left) starts in grayscale then adds the pops of colors, but idk about the rest

How do I stay loose while drawing for a long period of time?
I usually put down a nice drawing that felt good to draw but then I try to copy what I was trying to do and it’s never feels as good as the first drawing.
How do I stop that?
How do I just shut my brain off and draw?

Got this modelling/sculpting set as a gift, but I haven't got the foggiest idea as to where to start/what resources could help me start on this. I do design for a living, but it's mechanical engineering stuff and I had been wanting to get back in touch with my artistic side, so this was spot on.

I want to learn to draw to smudge my schizopherina all over the canvas

>>6506347
Senseless question. Understandable, because no one seems to know what that means, but it's easy.

The resolution is a value only useful for the printer. This value can be even deleted; in this case, the printer will assume a default value.
A resolution of 254 means that 100 pixel are equal to 1 centimeter.
A resolution of 100 means that 100 pixel are equal to 1 inch.

What is the difference between digital painting and digital illustration?

How long per day should I be drawing to see improvement? I'm a complete beginner and want to learn figure drawing. Having a schedule of sorts helps me work things out better

>>6512188

>>6512188
>>6512195
i've never really understood this idea of studying for a set amount of time. just draw until you don't feel like it anymore. as far as checking improvement, ask for crit and compare what you've drawn to your study materials.

Is drawpile worth it?
I've heard it can be personalized into having the best brushes for you, but it also seems obsolete as fuck and lacks many functions.
Is it worth learning to make your own brushes in Drawpile at all, or should focus on another program?

>>6512229
Am I?

If the size of the center and left shapes are determined, how do I accurately mirror the left to the right and know where the red line will land?

>>6512794
not doing your homework. you just draw an angled line from corner through midpoints for duplicating planes in perspective. its brain dead easy and you need to actually pay attention in class.

I started up drawing recently (< 2 months ago), and currently trying to understand how do I get proportions in human body right.
My approach is quite mechanical in nature, as in I either sketch from photos, or do rough sketches from imagination and then approach them with ruler to check, if I got proportions correctly.
Question is - perhaps there's some other method to that, and if so, can someone point me to that?
Any general advice on the matter is also appreciated.

>>6513012
its usually relative to the head size. you can adjust proportions on head heights as well if you want someone heroic looking or for fashion designers they use like 10-12 head height and super long legs - but it would all be relative to the size of the head you draw.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8CSKor2GNw is a fashion designer showing how to adjust a normal reference to a 10 head size. she discusses head heights, relative anatomy markings that coincide with the head heights, etc. you may not want to do fashion, but its still basically the jist of this.

but generally, youll have head heights for your character and then adjust proportions based on that. this doesnt change anatomy per se, but how they look when drawn. super heroes are like 8 heads usually, fashion croquis are 10-12, etc. children have different head proportions due to large heads/small bodies/still developing if you are doing children.

da vinci virtruvian man is probably most famous proportions image and it shows off a lot of basic anatomy and reference marks. ive attached a generic image of head heights though.

for the landmarks, 1 head is jaw to top of head. 2 heads usually hits at the nipples or around there (hanging breasts, muscled pecs, etc might put nipples above or below the line). 3 heads is usually hitting the belly button. 4 hits the crotch. the legs usually where adjustments are made for total head height proportions (8 for 'ideal/heroic', 10 for fashion, etc with longer legs for more heads). 5 is probably mid thigh, 6 the knees, 7 high ankle, and 8 would be the bottom of feet.

other landmarks can be learned. for instance, the wrists hanging at side hit just below crotch or deltoid lines up with nipples, elbows at belly button, etc. things like reilly rhythms teach more advanced relationships and lines that can help map out the way a body connects.

What are your methods to keep track of what you post and where?

Has anyone tried Naoki Saito’s 3-month improvement plan in the actual 3-month timespan? How did it go? I’ve been trying to incorporate some of the philosophy from his book into my learning over a longer period of time, but I’m curious how well it works if you really do work through it at the 3-month intensity.

>>6513718
It depends on you, but there will always be a moment, when it can no longer be salvaged.

This gives me an indication of my current issues.

Anyone knowledgeable about perspective and perspective projections?
Is the diagram used here to calculate the cone of vision accurate?

How does one go about learning or getting an understanding for another artists style? Do you just keep copying their stuff over and over? Or is there other methods you should do?

I have a question for anatomy specialists. I was wondering why the hand has a curved shape when we we see it from front.
You know like when you close your fist, your knuckles don't form a straight line, it's curved.
Where does it come from? Are the bones naturally shaped like this?

>>6514014
just master studies and analyze their art. what do they do that makes it unique. like pen and ink you can look at so many options. thickness of lines. do they crosshatch or is it all hatches. do they obey perspective or do they only obey contours. do they use pure black and white or is there a wash or other greytone from diluted ink, etc. thats just the technical inking part on how they generate the lines. what they render and how they render it comes in.

for colored pieces, the color pallet is a large factor on top of the medium. a water color piece vs gouache or copics. a muted pallet vs vibrant ghibli poster paint style piece. ghibli or old disney cartoon style, for example, can be applied to any real world reference if you understand the simplifying of plants and basic colors used. very easy to study and learn as a simple example.

its not so much just 'copy' them as understanding what you are copying and why they draw or color or do the things they do. why did they crosshatch that. why did they dry brush that part only. why are they using such a dark pallet, etc.

If your art looks /beg/ or you’ve barely improved for several years can you even say you’re a /beg/inner/? Instead of calling yourself a beg artist shouldn’t you be labeled a bad artist because you’ve drawn for years so you wouldn’t be a beginner in terms of practice but just shit.

A couple questions about copic markers:
1. What is a good sketchbook to use with them? I'm going to do Han's Dynamic Sketching soon, I think he uses a sketchbook with toned paper, so I'll be looking for something like that.

2. I have the greyscale ones, but I want to get a color one, too, for adding an accent color to mech drawings. Any suggestions? I was thinking of just getting an orange one.

Rotating my work versus developing a confident line in all directions?

I'm trying to improve my hand eye coordination and deliberate mark making. I can do fine left to right horizontally and upwards to about a 30-40 degree angle and slightly off horizontal below, but everything else is shit, especially anything near vertical. Is it worth it to train myself to improve this in all angles or should I give up and just constantly rotate the fuck out of my canvas?

Is NMA worth checking out? like I can afford it but I wanna know what other's thoughts are first

Is it cheating to blur the background because I have never drawn backgrounds before and it turns out I'm not very good.

>>6515898
It could be a cool stylistic choice. Blown out backgrounds are good for isolated subjects like portraits. There’s nothing wrong with it but if you don’t strive to improve your backgrounds it’s only going to limit your freedom as an artist in what you’re able to portray.

Hi I'm working on some machinima art I'm sourcing from a few Gary's Mod environments. How would you describe these if I were to sell them and can I call them art??

Just met a really well connected very successful artist. He asked for my social so we can continue our conversation. He just seemed like he wants to chill and talk about art. He said if I’m ever good enough he would be willing to introduce me to the right people.

How do I not blow this anon?

Any actual profession that relies a lot on linework like cartoonists has rotated the paper since time immemorial. It's why traditional animator's desks have wheels. If you watch a comic artist inking or an animation cleanup guy at work you'll likely see them spinning that shit like a top.
That's because it's important to prioritise the motions your arm can comfortably achieve. There's no point to gimping yourself doing uncomfortable motions on purpose.

What's a good benchmark for figure drawing? I was thinking three point from weird angles, complex poses, movement, moisture, fabric draping, and multiple points of lighting.

Try drawpile and watch how other people draw there, it will be a much better help to you than repeating something without proper feedback

For highlights from sunlight/generic room light do I have to worry about falloff from distance at all or is it all just facing? This is only for the main light source, not any random local accents

picrel my work, I don't understand how to capture the feel of the pose in figure drawing, I really like how the 2. one came out but after that i kind of lost the thread.

Decided to do something productive and make a comic, a small start, just a page, nothing stressful.

Wake up the next morning to do some drawing workout, only to everything feel right again.

What kind of perspective is this?

Ergonomic setups for screenless tablet?

Many people suck on Jung Gi and many mangaka for their inking skills, but I got a question. I like my art either clean when working with ink, I don't like random scratchy lines. The thing is, I'm tired of having to repeat my strokes when working in digital. I see many modern mangaka doing these clean and stylish lines, even in hentai, and considering they work on a schedule, I do wonder how do they manage to do these.
Is it the tablet or what? I've had this one since 2017, it's one of those budget intuos from 2015. If it is, what practices can I implement to produce clean lines faster?
And, I mean, the tablet is very good for paintings and such, but when doing comic-like art I become very sluggish, and that is particularly frustrating because when going back to trad, lines come off flawlessly and quick.
What can I do?
>>6520948
It's trying to mimic a 5 point perspective or better known as fish eye. Don't really know if it's technically correct but the framing makes it look fucked up, but the girl, for sure, is not in the same perspective as the former.

Standing up desks I guess.
>>6520451

Should a /beg/ focus on gestual drawing as much as the fundies? Or gestual is indeed a trap for beg? I've always had that doubt

When should you move on from a sketch and go into inking?

How am I supposed to be holding my pen when doing these lines? I'm right handed so positioning the nib like G, K and O is really awkward.

any tips for practicing figure drawing?
i vaguely get how to break down a reference into shapes but no idea where to go from there

Is an art expo such as LIghtbox Expo worth it? Or any expo for that matter?

>>6522525
Have you tried other methods? You may want to try to draw the figure right away instead of trying to do shapes only to build the figure you want

Do you know which art program does Yoshikadu Yamada uses.
I'm curious because I like to learn a about Digital Art in general.
It looks like some program he started to use when he began as a digital mangaka and never went to try anything newer.

>>6522941
On the about tab on his YouTube channel it says he uses Comic Studio ex4. known as Manga Studio in the west. They changed the name to Clip Studio Paint in the newer versions. Lots of artists don't like changing their software.

>>6520948
its a bunch of different perspectives. the woman has her own perspective. the buildings are a basic 3 point perspective. 3d models he traced and colored. probably clip paint asset or some other imported asset. the fence is also not drawn, but has been manipulated. just warped. its not really drawn to a perspective - its altered with computer. the sky/clouds give the image its faux perspective and its just the clouds drawn in circular motion radiating out from the sun. they dont match the girl or the buildings. you can trace the 3pt lines of buildings upwards and see they dont align with the sky/clouds/sun. you can look at the girl and relate her postion to the fence - shes falling over relatively speaking. she should be leaned back like how the corner of the fencing is angled away. instead shes not in perspective.

so its basically a 3pt perspective with a different skybox and that fence thrown in.

As someone with pretty much no fundamentals, what there is to know about drawing? Some most basic things?
Also, would it be OK if instead of redrawing pics I would practice on real world? As a beg, of course. My current plan is to use drawing as an excuse to go outside.

Can't quickly find a graphic/chart for it for some reason, but some fundamental art/drawing skills include form, value (light), perspective, composition, shape, gesture, anatomy. You can read a little more here: https://conceptartempire.com/what-are-the-fundamentals/

>>6526670
Also yeah, drawing from life is like the biggest tip you'll see for getting better at art. It's generally better than drawing from photos. But honestly, you do whatever helps you learn best.

all manga is photobashed garbage like that. hell, anime does it. shit like bochi or that cosplay girl use basically filtered photographs as backgrounds.

My dad keeps complimenting my Character's boobs whenever he catches a glimpse of what I'm drawing and I end up feeling irrationally angry about it. It would be one thing if I were drawing fanart of some one-off character or something, but my own personal characters for some reason have that feeling that he's ignoring everything else that I drew and have in mind about that character, as if it were a direct insult to my entire design.

Am I just being a prude? Does anyone else have family members or friends that see their art as nothing but sexual and pervy?

>>6522423

it depends on whether the art will be used primarily for print or for web.

How do I develop taste? How do I develop style? Picrel is from a year or so ago. Still no idea what direction I want to take. I’ve gotten better technically, but still no idea what I’m doing really.

>>6527671
Style is something that will naturally emerge as you draw more things, experiment, and explore, seeing what you like. If you feel you'd like some inspiration/direction, look at other artists' work, across different media. Here is greeel speaking on the topic: https://youtu.be/yY13IewoYas

To me it seems like they contain sensitive folks who don't understand the internet contains a variety of people and attempts to gather people to cancel someone for having a different taste in art though. Or am I actually wrong?

>>6528561
Toyhou.se not touhou.se.
It's just that as an artist, I can't believe that a community of artist can't simply accept people for their taste regardless of how morally wrong it feels.

It might be a typo of "FWAP" which I'd guess would be Loomis's "Fun With a Pencil". Though I just checked in there and didn't see anything about raccoon masks.

>>6528539
This might be related though.

>>6528783
No, that's not unusual, go for it.

>>6528634
Can you give some more details on what you're looking for? What kind of art are you interested in? Are there any artists in particular you admire? They might have process videos on their social media pages.
You can find artists streaming their process on picarto.tv/ or Twitch. Can search for process videos on YouTube too if you have an idea of what you want to see.

>>6528783
No, but it’s better algorithm wise to drop one or two a day at peak hours.

>>6526298
Yes. I'm no chemist but I've use sprays that have those chemicals for miniatures and it's normal. If I had to make an educated guess, ethyl 3-ethowhatever is the main coating ingredient, acetone and toluene keeps it liquid until it dries, propane and butane is what allows it to spray out of the can. Just practice common sense and use it in a well ventilated area.

Any vid or tutorial for paint grass like these?

When I upload digital art, the thumbnail is always really blurry and low quality. If I crop the image and resize it to use as a profile pic, it also gets blurry or the lines get pixely. How do I improve the image quality for my art so this doesn't happen?

>>6530430
bob ross

>>6530445
Increase the resolution of your drawing and save as PNG. It makes your files bigger but at least the quality is not compressed.

>>6530430
that's likely a brush preset/ a tool preset. You can get stuff that does similar in brush packs. I have the "evenant concept art brush pack" that has brushes labelled "grass" "leaves" and so on I think it was free on their site or something. It's not good to rely on for studies and things because it's hard to connect the brushes intentions with your own but it's definitely a tool. You could find a tutorial on how to make a brush preset, and make one that produces streaky vertical triangles that curve slightly and rotate randomly.
Here its just a shape used to mark the border between the colours.

>>6530467
I'd like to add that I know for a fact that there's a very similar if not exactly the same grass brush tool in that evenant concept art brush pack and I've checked it's free, like the first google seearch. Produces that spiky grass shape.

Teres major goes from the bottom point of the scapula to insert at the front of the arm bone. There is also a teres minor, just above it, that runs to the back of the arm bone. Teres minor can be thought of as a part of infraspinatus, the larger muscle that covers most of the scapula below its spiny ridge and also inserts at the back of the arm bone.
You can't draw a muscular back from imagination by only studying anatomical diagrams. The great big trapezius actually has three sections, each with different directions of its fibers that indicate different functions, plus it covers supraspinatus and the rhomboids, which also create bumps in the back depending on the action of the shoulders. You have to learn all the form-creating muscles and their functions, and emphasize the forms of a particular muscle when it's in action. It's not as hard as it sounds but it takes some time. Off the top of my head, you'l need:
>Erector Spinae (the columnar muscles running down the back)
>Serratus (more to the side, but still affects the profile of the back)
>External Oblique (ditto)
>Supraspinatus
>Infraspinatus and Teres Minor
>Teres Major
>Rhomboids
>Latissimus Dorsi
>Deltoid

Use magic wand tool to select the negative space. Invert the selection, create a color layer underneath the lineart and fill with a solid color. Lock the opacity and color away.

How do I know for sure if what I study one day or maybe even for a week will be properly retained in my mind in the days afterward? I'm mostly worried about mechanical consistency than consciousness. If that even makes sense IDK. I like to believe that they are two distinct things in art.

Like a state where I can perform what I just learned as if it were second nature, without much stress to consistently pump out the same thing over and over, just feeling natural. To really feel like I know for sure that I can perform what I wanted to learn without drastic fail/differentiation.

>>6531514
none of this makes sense you dumb faggot, if you want perfect consistency then just repeat the same garbage over and over

Force yourself to sit down and do it with no music or stimulus. It's a matter of discipline, drawing for 5 minutes and then going to play video games is simply weak willpower

>>6534868
why torture yourself needlessly? there are ways to facilitate your work and optimize your workflow, use them.
and yes, adhd is a valid reason to need help with focusing lol. there's a time for discipline and a time for needing to work with what you have,
