cheatbox spotted

Took a day off for christmas and i feel bad about it

>>6993636
I wonder why most people working hard their whole life still don't get any reward. The meritocratic system, if it exists, seems flawed.

>>6993855
that’s what it feels like on jobs IRL
you work hard, don’t get recognized and if you speak up about a pay raise the employer goes woopsie, you’re being replaced with outsourcing! But here’s another job you can do (-:

>>6993855
The journey is the reward, whether people notice or not is secondary

>>6993604
Holy shit, this is great
Blog?

>>6993975
Cute

>>6993855
You can be the hardest working McDonald's burger flipper but that's not particularly intelligent. It seems getting paid a low wage for a low skill low effort job is a fair reward. It just not true that most people working hard don't get rewarded. I've been lazy and gotten poor returns, I've worked hard and gotten compensated for my efforts. I've worked hard but not smart and paid the price and visa versa.

>>6993629
love to cheat

>>6993922
thanks dude
i don't draw as much as i used to but i'm @godsh0t on twitter

Ahh alt how i’ve missed u

>>6994114
also from sketchbook :> been so inspired lately

>>6994114
>>6994120
Some really good shit man.

>>6993430

>>6994114
Great game and great art

>>6994137
soulful art

random sketch for today

Been playing a lot of Hollow Knight lately, I made a Knight-like ButterPie, but ended up drawing the Knight as well.

>>6995612
Nice

>>6993430

>>6996491
thnx ;o

>>6995757
spooky

>>6996917
keep doing you but i just want to check that you're aware that this is super early 2000s cringe art

>>6997044
nostalgic vibes desu. feels like everything I looked down my nose at as a kid got me feeling the warm fuzzies as an adult

>>6997050
you just liked gay shit as a kid and you still like it as an adult lol

>>6997051
can you read nigga?

random doodles.

>>6996629
I like the exercise with perspective in this one.
>>6995718
Very clean, great little figures.
>>6994997
Simple lines and colors, but very deliberate and shows your understanding of light and volume, very nice.
>>6994591
Interesting use of color. The thumbnail makes the subject look flooded in ambient light which is pretty cool.
>>6994120
Wow, anon this is rad. Macabre and whimsical, some wh4k and american mcgee vibes here.

>>6997057
yeah nigger, you were performatively scornful as a child and now that you're older you realize you were a gay the whole time.

I wish I could just draw nonstop 24/7 without needing to eat or sleep or go to the bathroom or all that nonsense

>>6997223
true lmao

>>6994114
Love Alessa in the mirror

>>6995718
Really like the HollowPie

Honestly if you had wanted you could still angle the horns down to better match Butterpie's hairstyle and it still be lore accurate to the design of some of the Hollow's.

vroom vroom

>>6997330
Tell me about it. Think of the level of art we could have if humans didnt have to sleep

>>6998148
i hope to one day transcend this mortal plane...
>>6998126
your art is always so colorful, awesome

drew a couple things recently. This was a secret santa gift for a friend

>>6998458
and a little happy holidays type drawing

>>6998126
lol

>>6998564
thats the official design ye,plenty of people ref or copy the offical works to make fanarts

>>6993855
because working hard is only half the story. You need to work smart too

>>6998564
God dang these are beautiful. I like your style so much.

WIP, trying to get away from over rendering and picking boring colours

draw for tonight

silly drawing

random cook.

WIP
any suggestions for the colouring or shading? I'm trying to get a simular look to Zerocalcare's book covers (the newer ones)

Sketch for the year of the dragon

>>7000494
Here's what I would do:
Everything in the image is moving from the lower left to the title in the upper right, so I would adjust the positions of the bats to just further accentuate that idea/movement.
I would also probably drop the castle/house further into the background, except for a few of the interior lights. I think it makes the castle more mysterious and keeps the title in focus.
Lastly as a little extra touch, I just moved a tombstone in front of another to add a bit more depth.

I got no formal training and just watch YouTube videos so take what I say lightly. I like your drawing though!

>>7000542
You are a blessing, thank you anon :D

>>7000494
It's done :D
>>7000542
Thanks again anon

>>7000655
January 1st and you already drew something. You're gonna make it anon.

>>6994120
ialdabof :DDDDD

Drew a Genshin gala or new years

>>7001719
for new years*
Sorry, im a bit tired today

>>7001719
how do you find the motivation to draw these bland and soulless/generic anime characters

>>7001742
It has other qualities.

>>7001744
you misunderstood me, but thats okay. go on and do your thing

>>7001742
Because my penis compells me to, next question?

>>7000821
Blog?

this is a great thread. just wanted you to know, anon.

>>6993855
Don't bother, bootstrapfags are only move the goalposts

>>6994023
you're a sheltered little child and have zero idea how the world works.

>>7002283
>source: im dumb and lazy and mad about it

cope

>>6999304
Did you change your style a bit? Looks awesome btw

>>7002227
That rat thing on the bottom right is so fuckin cool

Which of these would you say looks better? I'm leaning to the one on the left but I think it might push sol out of the focus of the image.

>>7002227
very cool sketches. blog is @slurponaut

Sketch done. Hope the rest goes well. I don't know, might get rid of left dog, sorta just threw it in there
>>7004908
I like the idea of a crop here, to imply the plume is too big for the page to contain, but I almost think you should pick the left and then just add more verticality to the plume for the best of both worlds.

>>7002436
it was a little experiment, but not something im committed to, still mostly doing stuff in my current style

>>7006681
this is really neat I like it a lot

>>7006681
I agree with the other anon, this looks awesome

>>7006681
very cool !!!

>>7006313
Really like the vibe here, feels so peaceful!

how's this looking?

>>7006979
looks awesome, I love futuristic western designs

>>7007962
Saved.

was trying something different with the colors

>>6994137
blog?

>>7008045
Your work is good as always but what's different about the colors?

>>7008493
with my typical workflow i have a base color layer and then a multiply layer for light. with this one instead of a multiply layer i just made a palette for the shadow and light and a midtone so i mixed the colors with those instead. it haromonizes the colors a bit more allegedly. but id have to keep messing with it. ive never really messed with mixing as much to harmonize colors, usually with my older workflows i would just glaze over stuff.

sketcha

>>7008045
your drawings are nice but I feel like they would be 10x better if you cleaned up your lineart.

finished my first drawing of 2024! I'm sick so it took a while lol

Surtr with a Surtr tattoo

nice colours but wtf

>>7012497

Well, I’ll try to cut her hair down a bit.

>>6994665
thank you! sh3 most nostalgic for sure, used to sit on my desktop when i was 10 and would shit myself whenever i’d accidentally opened it lol
>>6997377

Awhe I’m so happy my art evokes that for you! much appreciated

>>7006979
Ahh love characters with backpack canisters and tubes this is sick! amazing job on the folds too

>>7006313
very dreamy atmosphere me likey

recommend white posca brushes to everyone the texture they create is so satisfying

>>7011116
So THIS is the power of the sailboat shape I've been hearing rumors about. Huh.

greeting

>>7013282
your style is sick, love the art

>>7012626
cool stuff!

>>7013282
thanks c;
>>7011119
i can but its the least of my concerns but im mainly trying to get composition down i guess and now doing a bit of color

>>7014726
Gorgeous piece! You can really feel the forms of her face

What’s happening /alt/

>>7015202
What is the solution for ruining the readability of your sketch while you are painting it?

Like i can’t tell what the fuck this picture even is anymore. I was painting it and suddenly i looked down and was like what the fuck am i painting??

I feel like inking it would have helped, but there has to be a way that it can be done without ink.

Also my water edge control is shit. And i think that i cant get a dark value out of the pigment because the paper doesnt absorb enough paint. the water jsut sits on top then runs to the edge as it dries.

>>7007962
very based

>>7015299
It might come down to color selection and bending the rules with light. A technique I've seen used is utilizing masking fluid to cover your brightest areas including specular zones and sharp light sweeps along contours. This will help guide your watercolour away from those areas and you won't have to worry about brush control *quite* as much. Contrast between darks and lights will help readability, maybe emboldening the darks of the muddled and organic background features while celebrating the figure of the subject with bright sharp forms will help. here's a quick take to convey a hypothetical-

This is a great piece, thank you for sharing.

>>7015299
>>7015666
Sometimes things come down to values, try turning it black and white and change the contrast. color/shade based on planes and light source

i tried another angle to show the back

>>7006979
>>7006999
>>7013282
ty, trigun and fallout where main inspos for this

>>6993430
I'm trying to learn cartoony art and I have no fucking idea what I'm doing. I'm much more used to semi-realism (western comics/manga).

>>7016966
Ignore the colors, it's a placeholder. I'm talking entirely about the actual drawing.

>>7016973
I recommend the book "the art of cuphead" for what i think you are trying to achieve

>>7017068
Also if you really have no experience with cartoons i recommend doing more basic flat 2d looking pieces before jumping on perspective

>>7017069
Notice how the "not yet with detail" mickey on the left can just be constructed with basic sphere shapes? The reason why yours look weird is because youre not using these shapes to properly construct these characters
Winnie the pooh as a example should be way more rounder. Shape language is essential to cartooning.

>>7017076
Well I'm not sticking to original design for Winnie the Pooh, because this is a public domain based project so Disney version is verboten. But I get what you mean, thanks

>>7017186
The original winnie the pooh design is actually the same thing just with less detail and no clothes

shit, i should've posted here instead of /beg/

>>6997044
that's intentional

wip

>>7017068
>>7017069
>>7017076
nta but i found these helpful even w no desire to cartoon, the pooh design especially is soulfilled and cute, got anymore?

I lost a watercolor contest to get to 36 finished paintings. As punishment i had to draw a nice picture of the victor enjoying the spoils.

>>7015666
>>7015678
I jsut couldnt get the wash to stick darker. It kept muddying because the paper is super cheap. I need to work on my order of operations to try to obtain the darkness. I always detail too soon.

>>7018589
Just search for any cartoon character/show you particularly like and add "character reference" or "model sheet"

>>7018892
sorry i see nothing but literal shit when i see your art now. This is why you dont share your fetishes you social retard

Did the evil-style challenge. Might've fucked up the anatomy a bit, but I did this pose from imagination...

did the sketch on paper and then colored the picture in digitally. I don't know if I like the process but I like this drawing anyways

>>7004954
Noice. Blog?

I'm trying to go for a soulful y2k clean skater art

i've been sketching

>>7016008
cool 2hus

>>7016966
If you haven't read Fun With A Pencil yet, I highly recommend you to. It starts off with some basic lessons on form and construction, much like the resources other anons have posted

>>7021103
Blog please
>>7021051
Exaggerate more on the pose

>>7021493
That sounded way more mean than what i was intending
What i mean is that you should exaggerate more on the pose if you want to do monochromatic artwork also it gets closer to what people were doing back then

>>7021500
You got the style correct though

space OC I designed for a mutual

>>7021505
Oh man i just saw your posts you were right. I should have exagerated the pose and perspective a lot more. Anyways heres a color version

>>7021983

>>7021983
Looks good but i recommend cel shading for coloring
Unless you particularly want to go the sprayed graffiti route but thats ok you (also thicker outlines)

Good afternoon /alt/

Bump

Something silly.

Really struggling to make the colors look good here... WIP.

>>7025802
What's your process man? Do you start with simple base shapes and then build details on top?

>>7032121
everything is too saturated, add some variety

>>7032121
adding on, the shadow values on the girl and wall are MUCH lighter than the drop shadows. either make the drop shadows lighter or make the half tones darker.

>>7032252
>>7032182
Thank you for the crit!!! This helps a lot!!! Imma continue to work on this!!!

>>7032165
sorry for the webm quality but yeah, basically.

>>7032121
>>7032252
>>7032182

Fixed the neon nightmare... I think.
Also tried to apply the crit I was given. Took away the extreme-purple gradient map I had in lieu of something more harmonious.

>>7031017
This makes me happy ty and I hope u have a good life

>>7032379
The main reason it still looks off is because of conflicting light sources. There's a sun in the back, but the wall looks like it's being lit from above, and the girl is being lit from somewhere in front of her. Not to mention the wall isn't casting a shadow on her lower body. The values and colors otherwise look much better.

>>7032379
>>7032491

I was trying to follow along to a reference, but, now that I'm looking at it with fresh eyes, I think removing the sun would've made the lighting at least slightly more believable. I was just a fan of how it looked in the background.

Gonna see if I can work a little more on one of the unmerged versions I have of this pic... hopefully I'll be able to improve it.

>>7032971
Forgot pic.

Tried to fix the lighting source by adding more shadow to the one leg+hand and removing the sun in the background... changed the gradients to something a little more along the vibe I was going for.

I feel like I'm throwing shit at a wall a little bit, but I think I learned quite a bit from this.

>>7032972
>>7033015
The angle of the wall is completely different.

>>7035501
yes

Bothered by the hands here. Left is the normal, right is -supposed- to have her left hand coming towards the viewer. Hand pose is meant to be "clawed upwards", like a wizard, excuse the messy sketch.
Not sure which one is better
Also, would appreciate any feedback on the overall composition here

>>7029450
loving the lineart
>>7018583
Loving the rendering, especially on the hair
Nose is a bit piggy imo, and I feel like she'd be cuter with a rounder face
>>7016112
Sick concept my man can't say much else
>>6993604
... Now I want a fumo

>>6997308
I like it. Do you have a blog or more to show?

>>7033015
>wonky face, the placement of the features isn't quite right. Generally your nose is in the middle of your face instead of below your right eye. Everything in the face just feels wrong and misaligned and I'm not sure what kind of angle I'm supposed to be looking at here.
>Bad emotion, the smile looks unconvincing because of the emotionless eyes
>Shape of the torso especially chest (I don't mean boobs) is fucked. The anatomy just isn't right, the chest looks too big. I think it's mainly that the perspective of the abs is completely wrong, they imply a very strange and bulky torso shape
Hope this helps, good luck bro

>>7035656
Thanks for the crit, anon!

I was fussing so hard over everything else that I completely missed how the nose was fucked up on the face :C
I tried to fix that and the eyes, only for the face to end up looking even more fucked-up. I struggle to convey emotions on characters (this whole thing was me trying to dip my toes into more emotive characters).

Also thanks for the crit on the torso as well. I was trying to express the twisting of the body, which is also tricky for me. I'll keep at my anatomy studies and hopefully I can continue to improve!!!

>>7035704
Did you draw that lock of hair that falls over the middle of the face first and then drew all the facial features around it? Cause it looks that way

>>7035719
I drew the face first and then added the hair. But I tried to fix the face based on your crit a little more and I think the nose placement isn't too terrible anymore. Not happy that I can't get the eyes right. Maybe it's the pupils... I guess I need to start taking facial expressions seriously.

I guess you can look at the shadow at the middle of the chin and decide where the eyes would be with the head turned at that angle.

i regret buying this shitty game

finally drew something for this month

Some rogue trader comics, you probably won't get the jokes unless you played the game. Still, I'm trying to find a "comic" style. I'm not sure if it's very legable right now and it feels very dirty while I want something more "crisp"

>>7036408
How her teeth work is still up for debate In my brain.

>>7037317
>that Amiri reference
Based but it also hurts.

Also, no Tristian male/male romance? What the fuck was up with that?

And that's a good thing.

>>7039291
easy, stop posting on /i/

>>7035597
probably too late but left looks better, as long as you shrink the right hand a bit. composition is nice, but I would make the moon a little darker so the focal path goes from girl > hair > moon rather than the other way around (unless you want it that way)

Too much empty space in spongebobs bubble. I would have him sticking out a little of a smaller one

>>7039291
people who say they can draw because they worked hard are bullshitters. The reality is so much of being good at art is basically magic, and I don't know why no one says this. fixing things and using better methods is only part of it. At first I sucked and nothing ever seemed to work even if I practiced for it and it stayed like that forever, but now its like i've all of a sudden become talented or something and I often find myself able to draw things I never even practiced and things just work out now for some reason to an unreasonable degree. This never used to happen, and its like I hit a threshold and it happens all the time. Basically it's magic and I can't explain it, but I can at least talk about things like troubleshooting and stuff and what to be aware of and what I did to get there.

I don't know why talented people don't talk about this, because there's no way this isn't happening to them too. You can tell a struggler from a talented person, you can see it how they draw that they aren't strugglers, even if its true they earned it for the sheer amount of experience they have.

>>6993636
Did your twitter got hacked?

>>7039291
Idk about the others but when it clicked in my head i could draw other things than just boring anime-style heads flying over a white background my art got 500000% better (and i started liking art again)
>>7040892
This, we all use black magic here

I'm improving and can recognize that my art is decent, but I still don't like it. I wish I could enjoy what I make

>>7043879 Hey it's not half bad of a drawing, maybe add some dynamic perspective in the poses to breathe more life into your art. at least it is my suggestion and maybe you could find enjoyment from that.

How far could you really go with an art handle on X with just bullshit meme drawings? Asking for a friend of course.

>>7013282
Do you have any acc you could shill for a moment? I want to see more

mr struct

>>7045210
very stylish colors

>>7044615
I didn't know she had a command grab lol

>>7043879
I get the feeling. Usually when this happens I try to do more drawings out of my comfort zone, so that when I inevitably fail, I can go "well I'm not that good at drawing this anyways" and feel significantly less disappointed than if I failed at something I thought I was good at.

>>7040892
Yes, it's all in the drawing tablet. Mine is infused with titanium and the souls of a thousand wicked demons, and is the only reason I can draw at all. Without it, I would be nothing.

Im trying to draw Robin in my favorite artist style looks a little weird tho. hard round brush is insanely good

Inks done
I tried a more painterly workflow but got lost and just went back to inking. I honestly don't know if this looks good, or if her face looks lopsided... Caught a fever right after I posted the first wip
I don't like the hair

>>7040841
Ended up going for the right one, I think it worked out okay. kinda wanted to try something unusual to me

>>7050506
thank you, your characters are pretty cool too if I do say so myself

>>7046337
it ended up pretty good. the hair looks fine to me, only thing that looks off is the shorter hair in the front and the much much longer hair in the back.

Your color transitions are great, and that metal is making my heart sing. What problems are you having?

>>7035246
are you k?

>>7050715
Thanks anon, I was going off this. Just gotta learn more trad techniques and get better

Sorry if this doesn't count but I'd like to learn to draw like this guy https://twitter.com/AkZiqi/media

Any guides tips I could follow? Got no clue how to proceed with this wall

>>7051162
sorry anon, doesn't ring any bells
>>7050506
thanks, your sketches look neat
>>7050705
always got something good going on, i see
>>7050535
>>7051712
already halfway there my guy, keep it up
>>7045210
phase 1 will always have a place in my heart, good stuff
>>7052871
i'd focus on the bigger picture: block in shapes, leave details as blotches of color and avoiding any fine work if you can help it, especially going over the same area

I think ive seen your twitter before, nice art btw

>>7055099
How do you push anatomy like this?
I want to do something similar but I can't keep my body's consistent, they slowly lose the exaggeration.

>>6993430
forgive me for being an itoddler ;-;

>>7000590
i really like this coloring. saved
do you have any cats btw

>>7023843
blog? this is cool

>>7005938
I hate this with a passion.
It's like you took the worst parts of that early 00's Adult Swim style but left the irony and charm.

>>7056488
i should probably share something i was actually proud of drawing. have montgomery burns screaming in agony lmao

old sketch

>>7055656
To be honest, my relatively shallow grasp of anatomy somewhat helps. There are many times where I don't know how a certain body part looks and just draw in what I think would look cool, rather than drawing it accurately. But that will only take you so far; eventually you'll hit poses and angles where improvising just doesn't work out.
The only reason my improvisation works at all is because I still have a basic idea of what goes where. If your bodies aren't consistent, and if you don't know any basic anatomy, then I would advise you to focus on that first, while experimenting with exaggeration the more consistent you get.

I like this weird monster i drew 2 years ago. If remake it what should i do to make this look more interesting?

Thank you

Trying to imitate this dude https://twitter.com/Lbf5n2
Not super accurately, but I want to achieve that slim feeling
I can't wrap my head on how to draw the muscle outlines of the limbs
At first glance the dude seems to draw noodles but not really, there's some shapes to be drawn, but my try keeps feeling too stiff
Particularly not convinced by the leg on the right

been messing with rendering

>>7059669
I really like these. Especially the way the third girl is colored. Blog?

>>7059669
Great stuff. The 3rd and 4th are probably my favorite.

>>7059528
Try copying his figures one to one, and use construction. They're pretty stylized, but are still built on fundamental anatomy. Some of his sketches have leftover construction lines, so that would probably help you as well.

>>7053279
Fuckin awesome. I need to draw more fashion.

>>7059890
>>7059528
an example of those construction lines I was talking about

>>7059705
Thanks!

The only one I plan to keep up for now

>>7059890
I was hoping the third would land. Was fun to work on too.
The pose, in hindsight, is a bit broken but I was focusing on the process way more than the design.
I don't think I enjoy the process of meticulously rendering stuff so I've been messing with more line-based works in recent times

Cool silhoutte you got going on here and love the purple as the inner-fabric

>>7040841
I really like the knight dude
So good, gonna steal your gains by focusing more on shape language like this as well

>>7059890
I wish there was a game where i could play as him.

>>7059669
Gonna try turning her into a sporty fantasy archer and try turning it into a full usable ref sheet

Character commission

Some Vis-Dev stuff I did for my comic/portfolio

>>6993430
i want to have sex with this character

>draw a nice character
>cannot fucking draw them again
does this happen in your country? i've tried like 3 times and it just feels really wrong

>>7060812
I like this, what is your process/approach to getting the colors in?

>>7062972
1. fill in with a flat color (magenta or bright) green to prevent gaps in coloring
2. pick out the actual flat colors, whatever i feel like using at the moment
3. start with changes in hue (skin blush, fabric shine, etc.)
(step 4 is a "first come, first serve" kinda deal for me, and is usually done on the same layer)
4a. go over areas where occlusion happens or light does something interesting (creases, folds, fresnel)
4b. render in the shadows and blend them by tinkering with opacity, hardness and using multiply mode as i go through the entire thing
5. throw in a shitty background on another layer (i don't really think about it until i'm done with everything else)

i hope that was clear enough, cheers

>>7063031
Cheers, maybe I'm just overthinking the entire rendering process since I want something more than just put in flats and call it a day
Been trying to find out something that works but I tend to lose all control over the process to the point where rendering never reaches a "finished" state on any part of a piece
Maybe I'm overworking it and focused on things that are too small

>>7063550
Sovl

>>7063550
You do a really good job with colour picking. Making the red for the hair/cape on the top group much more vibrant compared to the rest of the neutral and complementing colours you used is something I need to keep in mind.

>>6997330
slurponaut? based

goddammit i got sick for a bit and missed this thread entirely, have mostly been playing around with rendering anyways
(files.catbox.moe/urqhaz.png as well, just a bit much to post directly)

>>7063569
>>7064213
thanks!, seperating the color process and doing a color pass helped me a lot recently since my colors were starting to become quite flat, and I stopped using pure white and black as gradients for lighting (I did it because I was lazy but it just gives a very washed-out feeling)

In the end I abandoned a new rendering style and just went for what I feel comfortable with for now and try to max it out and incorporating some of the things that worked
