>You just know
I find this to be untrue. Permabegs lack self-awareness and are usually oblivious to their own skill levels.

>>6550228
This thread was meant for you.

thank fucking god, ive been waiting for a thread to post my work

>>6550225
I love sucking at art. Honestly, the hardest factor is finding time to draw, and having that line up with the right mood to draw.

I drew today

>>6550578
I'm proud of you anon.

Got a blog, fren?

>>6550636
Aye, JAM@ninecomics
I appreciate ya, i really haven't posted of late, working on a funky comic book for you guys hah

https://twitter.com/clomartwork/status/1633092113700212737

So how hard is what this dude's doing with ToonBoom (whatever that is) to use with characters the show never did any animation to reference with? Because, this is literally all I want to learn how to do, take the character sheet this show had in pic related, put her to animation singing out an attack on a magical chord, and my ham hands CAN'T take that smooth animation in my brain meat and make it a thing with graphite and paper.

I don't have the words to describe what I just saw, but I want to use whatever the fuck that was and make the fan AU series of my autistic dreams come true.

I feel like I’m leaving too much in shadow.
Where’s the ic archive?

How long does it take to get through Fun with a Pencil?
Ballpark numbers.

>>6552007
You won't be keeping track of time when you're having fun with a pencil.

Even if I'm a complete poorfag that never gets into digital art, could I theoretically git gud if I Loomis hard enough?

>>6552106
You've got two options.
1. Buy a used Intuos.
2. Keep on drawing traditionally.
Loomis is not a good book for a complete beginner, you need to grind some perspective first. And God don't fucking ask why do I need perspective I'm tired of explaining the same shit over and over again.
Afterwards you can grab a copy of Hampton's book or download his videos.

Why do these don't work?

>>6552106
Digital is for chuds, keep doing trad.

>>6551983

>hey anon, did y- AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
what a silly cat

>>6552111
>And God don't fucking ask why do I need perspective I'm tired of explaining the same shit over and over again.
Then type it once, save it in a word document and pull it back out when you need it.

>>6552106
A couple hundred years back, being poor would have been an absolute deal breaker, but now, you can get pencils and paper for next to nothing. Trad on.

>>6552705
How about I pull out of your ass, faggot?

>>6552007
took me about a month

https://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-tablets/one-by-wacom

One by wacom is a screenless entry level drawing tablet. It costs 50 shekels for the small and 100 for the medium size. Trust me as a person who started screenless then bought a mid tier screen tablet and is now going to buy a screenless as my next tablet. Screens are a fucking gimmick.
>horrific back pain and neck strain
>my massive masculine muscled hand and arm block half the goddamn screen when I'm drawing
>screen surface gets noticeable wear after years of use, screenless tablets doesn't fucking matter since you are not seeing the image through it.
Screenless are better just for the ergo.

Step 2 is to get a cheap ass laptop (if you don't already have one) and a program called Krita. It's completely free and open source, people love to hate on it (mostly people who don't use it) but there is absolutely nothing that you can draw on PS or CSP that you can't draw on Krita. Because Krita is an art program first unlike PS I actually found that it has better art specific features so I'm not going back to PS.
Krita is super lightweight and efficient compared to CSP which is just bloatware and telemetry at this point. In my personal experience Krita mogs CSP in responsiveness and even stability.
Also Krita is available in full on android for free so I'm pretty sure it would even work on a chrome book (I don't have a chrome book but I draw on my galaxy tab s6 with it almost every day in my comfy bed).

As a Chad digital artist myself I tried to get into trad art a little bit last year and I was shocked at the prices. Even just ink and decent brushes aren't cheap, plus decent quality sketchbook paper and all the other shit you need in support! Even cheap acrylics would probably cost you hundreds of dollars over a short few years. Digital is unironically cheaper over the long run if you want to go beyond dollar store ball points and printer paper.

>>6552118
Jesus Christ I would redline this but I'm phoneposting right now so sorry.
First of all you have to use a fucking ruler holy shit on God your convergence lines are crescents not lines.
Secondly of all you have to be precise and confident with your lines and ERASE when you make a godammn mistake! Seriously you need 8 fucking lines for each box in two point perspective! You have like 20 for the pelvis box?? Wtf man? Are you being payed per line? I can't even tell what the fuck is going on with the arms or especially legs; Jesus Christ please save us.
Also just look at the head box. Even from my phone I can see that the two convergence points are on the exact same line of the paper so why in heavens sweet mercy is the line at the base of the head box angled down to the right at 5°? I can't even tell if you thought that this was how the perspective worked or if you are just so sloppy that you meant to draw a straight line but failed?
Lastly in 2PP your vertical lines should be perfectly parallel (and straight).
You clearly need to get a book on perspective, start with 1P not 2P, and to have some respect for yourself by placing deliberate straight lines while using a ruler and an eraser (no light faggy non-committal lines and no fucking chicken scratching!)
Hope this helped good luck.

How the fuck do you get over the "blind" getting when drawing screenless? I guess it's the same motor function behind playing a video game but holy fuck it's tough. ALL my skill fled when I went trad to digital with a Huion HS611.

>>6554099
>huion
I'll ignored I read that. You're not drawing blind if you look at the screen

>>6554101
I'm guessing Huion is bad then? IDK it was free and it works too my skill level. Yes you're looking but the brain pencil disconnect is a hurdle is all.

>>6554110
If it was free just use it for as long as you can

>>6554099
I have no idea about your case in particular but you should have a little cursor marker on the screen appear when you hover your pen near to your tablet. You may need to turn on the brush cursor setting in your drawing program to have this visible but I'm pretty sure it's on by default in the big 3 programs.
You may also need to adjust your tablet settings to match the aspect ratio of your screen to prevent any distortion in your inputs from fucking up your muscle memory.
Overall it may seem very strange at first but you get completely used to it in like a week of drawing. Same muscle memory and everything you just look up at your monitor instead of down on the surface whilst drawing!

Yes any brand other than wacom is a massive gamble. From personal experience I cannot recommend a wacom enough over some cheap Chinese alternative. Driver and software issues with my artisul have given me more headache than they were worth. I would have honestly rather spent double the money on a wacom just to save me the days I spent trying to troubleshoot the countless issues it had and I was very lucky to not have anything physically wrong with the product. I heard horror stories about people trying to get replacements or refunds. If you got it for free then you should ride it until the wheels fall off but I would personally never buy anything brand new that isn't wacom.

Please don't talk about brands,you are going to attract the wacom schizo

Any opinions on ArtWOD? It gives me some drawabox or Peter Han Dynamic Sketch vibes

>>6554110
You guys better talk me out of it NOW because my mother is oddly supportive of me finding art later in life (mid 20s) and she insists on buying me one of these tablets for digital

>>6550225
Honest question, but what keeps someone in a perma beg state? I've seen the most non-talanted retarded people out there get better within a few years. But there's just some people who refuse to make progression. What's that about?

>>6557294
For some, it's certainly mental disability or learning disability that stops them from improving.

>>6557294
For me it's a crippling videogame addiction and fear of failure making me unable to develop consistent or good habits.

>>6553694
I like this art

>>6557294
Coming from someone who's been in a position like this, it all comes down to being honest with your results. A lot of the schizo-autist types you find on deviantart don't improve because they are in love with their ideas and in love with the process of drawing. They care so much about their creations that it's hard for them to judge their work objectively. Autism isn't a hinderance, but a fuel that the autist needs to learn to harness, but unfortunately most don't learn how.

>fun with a pencil
And this is why you're permabeg kek

I've been stuck, mostly from being too busy and tried to practice.
I posted the cropped version elsewhere, but here's where I draw.
I figure I'll get better when shit slows down, but ironically I'm getting more work in this recession because they have to do more runs to break even. So whatever, I'll get good when I get more time off, maybe.

>>6560835

Obligatory. They shill this book on here all the time.

>>6552330
still no twitter or blog?

>>6564387
Nice. I wan to see her belly button

>>6564413
Yeah, I noticed that I forgot to darken it up after I blended her stomach. Here's the source.

I'm regressing so much I'm afraid of drawing. Each drawing is worse than the last. I cannot continue like this.

>>6564583
Change mediums.

For how long do you have to suck in order to be considered /permabeg/?

I've been drawing for two months without much progress so probably not /permabeg/... yet.

>>6564886
What do you draw in the meantime? Everything sucks at the beginning. You are probably better off studying some fundamentals while also doodling for fun occasionally. I had a mental need to draw "something" good all the way through to feel better about myself, so copying good artwork helped a bit. Cause it can get pretty grim otherwise.

>>6564583
USE REFERENCE

>>6565030
I already use reference.

>>6565313
this time THINK, anon

>>6564393
Why would I?
>>6564886
Six months.
