Just started watercolour painting recently. Learning to let go of my perfectionism, and to just enjoy the process. Had a wonderful time drawing this cotton plant and it looks fucking amazing to me. What do u guys think ?

>> No.7035064

>>7035048
I hate you. Why does everyone have such a nice time watercoloring. Everyone just casually picks it up. Just so nonchalantly “oh my first watercolor, I love being free and letting the water flow and do what it wants”

Watercolor is DEATH! It’s the fucking worst. I want to think that you baited me into responding to you. I fucking HATE watercolor. It’s a HORRIBLE medium designed for masochists. Anyone who says they enjoy it is a fucking liar. It just does WHATEVER it wants you have no control over any part of it. It’s a battle between you and physics and you are given some fuck ass paintbrush and toilet paper.

It makes me feel like somebody cut off both my arms and now I have to learn to draw with a paintbrush up my ass. It makes me so angry that nobody else struggles with watercolor. You all just have a merry fucking time letting the paint fuck off all over the paper. It’s like you never struggle with overloading your brush or over working your paper or having edge bleed or mixing the wrong paint or muddying your colors or controlling the water blooms or fucking the layering or lifting too much color or not being able to lift the color or using too much water or picking up too much pigment or warping the paper or pooling paint in the ripples or losing the sizing on your paper or tilting too much or drying too fast before you can blend an edge or drying too slow and it back flows into your layer or painting over too much white space

It’s like you stupid fucks just enjoy all of this. Right? This is what makes watercolor fun for you? Just let it go?

Jesus Christ calm down. Ive been painting since late December and felt exactly like you did, until I learned to let go of my perfectionism and just accept whatever final product the watercolour paint decided to give me. An anon from another thread told me to "think like water" and honestly that's some fantastic advice! All the things I hated before are now what makes watercolouring fun for me. Also practically, a hair dryer and plenty of tissue papers to clean your fuck-ups are quite handy.

I’ve been trying to paint for 2 years. It’s taken every ounce of my strength to not give up. I’m a broken man now. I just knowingly ruin perfectly good drawings with watercolor slop. It feels pretty bad to know that you could color your drawing with any other medium and make it look passable: markers, colored pencil, crayons, digital, but instead I choose watercolor which ruins the drawing and makes it unreadable. It blows out all the linework, flattens the values, smears the faces and details, spills outside the carefully placed lines that I spent 3 hours on. Destroyed in seconds. The only thing more destructive to the drawing would be burning it. Watercolor is literally the most expensive way to destroy my drawings.

I hate that in order to practice watercolor I have to deface a drawing. It’s like I had a litter of puppies and I bring them out back and shoot them all. And I keep killing puppies in cold blood until I see one that I like. At first, it broke my heart every time I put a bullet between their eyes. I would agonize over it, so much potential, why do I have to ruin something so beautiful.

But now I enjoy it. Everyday I make new puppies. I like to see them brutalized. I take photos of the process so I can savor the moment. I find it comical how each of their lives comes to an end.

I don’t like the person watercolor has turned me into. I used to cherish each drawing. But now they mean nothing to me. Canon fodder. Sacrificial lambs to the insatiable watercolor gods.

Two years ????? Good god man, I got to where I am in a month of consistent daily painting. You're clearly doing something wrong. One thing I learned when experimenting with watercolours is that you're half an artist, and half a spectator. You experiment and observe what happens. I cant say I understand watercolours completely but it seems I do more so than you. Why don't u start from complete scratch with water colours and do what I did to get to where I am. Grab a bunch of reference images, do some basic pen sketches of them and then paint, try to experiment with various watercolour techniques to match the colours of the painting with the reference image using your watercolours (don't forget to do it in layers!). Btw I'd love to see some of your watercolour works!

practice gesture drawings and try to push the poses. You're wanting to capture the flow of action/motion as you see it not simply draw the contours of the form, and don't worry about detail/accuracy at first. You can then build your construction on top of that for your figures. Just don't mindlessly do them with no understanding or you'll waste a ton of time and effort, speaking from experience.

No, because it implies that art is only "commercializable" once one has reached mastery, which is so clearly incorrect that it feels like it need not be said.

Sekx spent like a week on a piece that was supposed to be scored during a big tourney only to have Dingleburied give his judge creds to the most unserious and unhinged user, Tableguy. The admin did practically nothing and just accepted Dingle's excuse of "I had work bro". A lot of dads sided with the offenders because Sekx got mad, and because it's a circlejerk.

DAD runs a tourney where they grab volunteers for judges and people participate and get judged, and later, tiered.
In 2023 tourney, it was found out that one of the judges was having tableguy ghostwrite the judge scores (while he was participating in it himself).
One of the participants got understandably heated over this, on top of it tableguy basically won everything in the scorings.

That's the gist of it. You can interpret that in bad faith and say that the DADcord is in cahoots to give each other better results because of that. The reality is that there were way too few judge volunteers, the judge got a gig with working with a proper publication that would become a priority over the tier tourney, and ultimately the tourney itself isn't high stakes for many people so they didn't even think twice about circumventing the judge rules like that. None of this excuses the behaviour of the judge and trying to be sneaky about it though, he didn't even see fit to comment on sekx rant over it and properly apologize, shamefur dispray

the problem I see is that the playing field on DAD is so vast that it's hard to accurately rank even a small pool of maybe the most active users if you're not willing to spend hours in their submissions to get a good grasp of how good they actually are
it also becomes a problem that you have to rank artists against each other at some point to keep the balance
also, what exactly are you ranking? are we talking ALL fundamentals including perspective drawing, rendering, understanding of values, light and form, anatomical knowledge? how would you rank painter-dads against dads who only draw character sketches? what's with personal style, which is a skill in it's own right
this whole idea of ranking each other in a tier list is completely absurd, it's closer to a "who's the hottest person in class" list, it's mostly meaningless ... plus, as others have said, we're all gay artist types and get upset when we're skipped or put into lower tiers, which is the exact fucking opposite of what the list should be

It's just blurred because it's from a student film I'm helping with.

A lot of film festivals will disqualify a film if it's available online, so student films usually keep everything offline to be safe. I'm technically not NDA'd, but we're expected to act like we are.

Granted, the chances of a film getting disqualified because of a 4chan or DAD post are zero, so it's more about saving face on the off-chance that the director finds my DAD account.

This is a very intelligent post. Tierlists should just be goofy fun at the most but people always end up taking them too seriously.
Being told you’re good or bad doesn’t really give you a sense of what your strengths are and what you need improvement in. Doing crit/feedback sessions like an art class would be more useful. It’s a lot more useful for a person to hear “you have good gestures but you should work on making your forms more solid” than “you’re a C tier.” But that takes a lot of time and effort.

Maybe it's just me, but being rated as C tier, even without a comment, when I thought I'm at the bottom of the barrel was incredibly motivating. Dads that I was looking up to seemed within my grasp. Knowing that someone actually kinda liked my art and that there are many worse artists really helped me with gaining confidence I needed to keep on pushing towards the A tier I am now.

I'm on page one, and anyone else who's number 1 in their field gets to be number 1 because they make it IMPOSSIBLE to fail by breaking rules..
So whether you have to take steroids, or steal the teacher's answer sheet, or even lie to win a court case, YOU HAVE TO be willing to break ethical codes to get ahead of everyone.

I know several other one pagers who have a month's work of work in advance for emergency cases. Those great streak that were lost recently happened because they're playing nice and think everyone else is as well, But they're playing a game where honest people lose and dishonest people win. Advice to everyone who's new: have at least 3 backup drawings and you will be on page one with me some day.

genuine accidents - say, your laptop going to shit with no other available means of uploading - I would guess, are much, much more rare than simple laziness and/or poor scheduling.
>Gotagitgud had a power outage and lost his streak
I don't know their exact circumstances, but in such a case you might wanna ask the point at which their power outage occurred, whether they had access to any other electronics, whether they had access to any trad materials, etc. again, I'm not speaking on Gotagitgud specifically, but even in circumstances where those things happen it's not necessarily true that there aren't other things people could have done to avoid losing their streak. otherwise, oh well, you got dealt a wrong hand. time to start from "square one."

But when you have a streak like he did you NEVER want to say, "Oh well, back to square one", that's the whole point. And why he should've taken my advice pulled out the reserve art hidden in his sfur folder one hour in advance.

>Yeah, it's foolish to post last minute for reasons like this.
just to reiterate, I don't care whether people ultimately cheat themselves (I just think this is an interesting topic), so I don't mean to be a dick here, but once you acknowledge he was stupid for waiting the last minute to post, that seems like it should be the end of the conversation. it's his fault, plain and simple.
>Loss is something you don't recover from
for most people probably not. I'm not a page 1er, but I have a decent streak atm, and if I were to lose it perhaps I would be demotivated to continue. but perhaps not. and I think there are others (maybe who are currently on /dad/, maybe not) who would take the opportunity to grow and be more dilligent with their drawing and uploading habits going forward. I just think people have more agency here than is being led on.

I think agency is good if you're a filthy 2nd pager and below (disgusting sinful people).
But when you're in the glory of page one, you realize just how PERFECT your score is, and how IMPERFECT your agency is as a human being.

How can an imperfect human maintain something perfect? They can't. So if Gotagitgud fucked up, it's not simply because his agency was imperfect, but rather because the universe determined his agency would be imperfect and thus the universe it to blame, not him.
Now, we can push the idea that he still could have done something to succeed in perpetuity, but at that point we're describing the perfect human, which we are not, so this argument doesn't work.

That's why at page one, "agency" is not the issue, these are peak humans, rather it is humans natural imperfection that's the issue, and to remediate that you NEED TO CHEAT! It's IRRESPONSIBLE TO NOT CHEAT WHEN YOU"RE ON PAGE ONE!

If you don't make up for your natural human weaknesses by cheating you're killing the perfection of your streak, so non-cheaters are murderers and the worst of human kind.

I've seen multiple dads do this but either I'm misunderstanding the rules or they're simply being overlooked.

I really like how distinct all of these are and how you are able to emulate watercolors(I only work with graphite, let alone watercolors, so I would't know where to begin with emulating watercolors in digital).

>> No.7043686

>>7043673
so then why is this part
>must have been made within one day of your submission period
included? if you submit something 15 minutes after your submission period begins, say, and you really did work on it for at least 30 minutes, then obviously you couldn't have started making it "within one day of your submission period."

but with bezier curves I don't have to worry about wobbly lines, they can auto smooth and curve. It's all vectors done in Inkscape.

>>7043647
I am tempted to get one, but not sure what to get, I wouldn't use it that much because why do I need one to use bezier curves? Also I put my money towards other things and that 20-30 bucks could be used on something else I'd use more like a hooker and booze.

I do everything in layers, the eyes are a layer and the pupils a sub layer etc so I can reuse layers on different images.

I always considered it to be like "anything drawn within the last 24 hours". So even though the submission period just began, you can still submit things drawn hours before.

I get what you mean, and probably other dads are on the same boat, I just don't think that's what the rule is actually saying. and to be clear I'm not trying to stir the pot and get dads' streaks removed - it doesn't matter to me either way - I just genuinely want to verify my understanding. because if your interpretation is right then I could in good conscience adjust my drawing and uploading schedule accordingly to make things easier for myself.

it's this brushpack, a bit confusing to use initially but it has everything

if you can get your hands on good quality materials (paper mainly) and work in light washes watercolors are very forgiving btw

no thanks, retard (only kidding). while I'm only doing trad atm, I do have a tablet and would like to try to get into digital at some point, so thanks.

any you would recommend? I actually have some Canson 140lb watercolor paper, but I've only used it like twice a couple years ago so I don't remember how well the paper worked (not to mention my technique simply could've been shite).

winsor and newton/daniel smith for cheaper ones probably?
idk about that paper brand but weight is ok, key thing to look for is cotton % (more cotton = better colors)
a small kit of soluble color pencils is also a good buy, caran d'ache is top notch

I can see how the rule's wording might seem vague, but IMO it's quite deliberate. It doesn't say "your drawings must be done the same day as your submission period." It says "within one day," ie. "within 24 hours". Everyone on DAD has a different submission rollover time, so this wiggle room is intended to accomodate people in inconvenient timezones. Adjust your schedule to make things easier on yourself, man.

People can read meta data from an image and that consist of creation date. I always export the drawing from the PSD around 10 AM to avoid being sus.
