No need to make a thread if you only have a single question.

Don't know where to begin? That's understandable. You see, the first time you visit /ic/ you will see a stickied thread with a thumb tack and lock icon. That specific thread has links that will HELP you. Read that first.

Would you like to then build a habit by drawing daily? And post to a website for encouragement and support of your colleagues? Then LAS(t) is for you! Wait what website?: >>3276773

Are you into drawing waifus from your seasonal happy meal toy factory shows? Then look no further for the ANIME thread! (Janitor approved, don't bother him about it): >>3309733

Are you a beginner? Do you struggle with drawing just about everything? Do you wish to receive critiques from longbro & friends? Join them over at the beginner thread. Please be advised to take advice in this thread with caution; there are anons who would love to lead you astray: >>3312064

If i upgrade my paypal account to a bussiness account, and then i create an invoice where i exclude my personal name, so that only my "company" name and email are visible. Would that allow me to recieve money through paypal without revealing personal information? If not, what's the right way to do it?

Man, what's really bothering me is that when I was a kid they forced me to start using my right hand even though I was left handed
Now at 19 I am able to use both to write and draw

For quick gestural stuff it's fine, but you should always work large. Beginners tend to try and hid mistakes in small drawings, and are afraid/leery of committing to larger pieces because you have to draw longer lines and more detail. They're also leery of owning the page, the blank space intimidates them.

If you're studying the head, and it's forms and details, you should be dedicating at least half of a standard page to each head. If you're involving things like noses, mouths, eyes, and ears, you need room to draw them accurately and fully, instead of hiding them in small pencil marks.

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 18 18:46:11 2018 No.3315552 >>3315496 See, I have the opposite problem. To me drawing small is way harder than drawing big, because you have to choose which details to include and which to omit, which is tough for a beginner.

If the tool feels good for you, use it. There is no official size ruling on tablets. If it feels too small for you, it's too small, if not, it's not. If you haven't had a chance to try one out at all yet, start smaller and cheaper. Without experience fancier tools are useless, you could buy the biggest, most expensive tablet there is but you'd still start at the same place than with a small cheap one. You'll know if you want/need a bigger tablet after trying a cheaper one out, or might be happy with it and not need to invest more money.

>>3315679
Again, tools used are irrelevant, only thing that matters is the art you create, the "how" does not matter in any other way beside your own optimal workflow and comfort. Some artists might prefer working without a ruler, some use a ruler, some people don't use erasers, it doesn't matter. There is no "cheating" unless you literally steal art from others and call it your own. Do what feels right.

The problem is that I'm struggling to find an art program that let's me draw with a mostly minimum canvas.

For example, in Sketchbook Pro on Android, I Can just click/tap a button or two to bring up color wheel, more brush settings, etc.

I understand it's a small screen to run Windows on and that is part of the issue. But I dislike subscribing for programs hence when I don't want to use sketchbook on Windows.

Username is really not important. No one cares about your brand (harsh but true). It's the work that matters. Either people want it or they don't. Your username has virtually nothing to do with it.

There isn't really much of a performance difference between nib brands (that being said I have noticed, in my experience, tachikawa nibs tends to be just a little more stiff compared to Zebra) Anyways, don't focus on specific nib brands too much Anon, they're all basically the same and no nib brand will make you draw better versus another.

Get drawn to life vol1+2 by Walt stanchfield. Read the books one chapter at a time and really try to understand what he is talking about. This will teach you gesture drawing in what I consider "the right way", since it focuses on showing weight and life above all else. No stiff horseshit copies from photos / life. Depending on how fast you learn, these books can keep you occupied for quite a while. Good luck!

How do you actually LEARN anatomy? Is it just a matter of endlessly redrawing skeletons and muscles?

No it's not for beginners. Don't listen to the moronic crab above me. Stenchfields books are his animation notes compiled into books so that animation students can masturbate over in their spare time. The industry is dead in the States so you'd be wasting your time reading said books unless you want to get into youtube animation or move to France, Japan or any of the neighboring slave houses.

If you don't know what to draw then you don't need to be looking at books. Just go on youtube and type in "how to draw X" and do that for a while to find yourself then come back to the sticky.

Try to learn it in tandem with drawing humans in general. When you have a photo of a person, get a diagram of a skeleton or muscle and see where it is on the person. Look for the landmarks. And draw that in on your drawing of the photo. Start with bones before muscles, they are the most important and shape the body the most

Should I learn by drawing reference images in 2 minute intervals, and then when I'm good at that, move onto hands, and then bodies, or whatever order?

Trying to learn how to do foreshortening, more specifically for the hand. Have been getting better at it but just looking for tips, guides or books on foreshortening. Been measuring distances drawing a couple lines and trying to draw the organic shapes that I see which is helping a bit but maybe the trick is to study perspective. What I really want is to take some of the guess work out of foreshortening and apply knowledge.

is there a good, intuitive 3d app that lets you apply realistic materials to basic forms, setup lights, and have it all in realtime and be physically accurate? i want to use it to study stuff like reflections, fresnel, roughness etc. modo does it apparently, but is there something out there that's easier for a layperson to use?

You obviously don't start with the car sketching stuff. What you start with is making the quick gestures, understanding how the WHOLE gesture is more important than capturing the separate parts accurately. Learn how to convey weight in your drawing. It WILL serve you well.

No. You will have to learn every applications quirks and then on top of that render systems.
>have it all in realtime and be physically accurate
Realtime stuff is going to be physically based but not accurate. Even in accurate renders you've still got to do a bit of tweaking (they'll get you far enough before having to do that). I would recommend Blender Cycles as it's not very difficult to pick up at all once you learn the basics. The principled BDSF will be a great start to learn the basics of PBR. There are material packs you can download, tutorials to watch. None of the 3D apps are easy for a layperson, you'll have to learn.

so is it even a good idea to use rendering software to study basics of light/material? relying on photos and what few real life options are available to me isn't cutting it i feel -- i want to be able to contrast materials relatively quickly, and I saw a clip of scott robertson using modo to do just that ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWKXqElmSVY ) but he did have to fudge the reflections a bit.

anyway, thanks for the recommendation. i'll download blender and see if I can get some use out of it.

Have anyone used used drawing as a destructive outlet? Like escapism?

I had an account that allowed me to crank out a bunch of NSFW content and got me somewhat popular. I saw other artist living healthy lives just as devoted and didn't think anything of it whereas I was still lonely and antisocial.

Now after some years off I decided to come back and with a different purpose, but still find my art heavily based on my emotions at the moment. My motive is to actually become more involved in the community besides just posting content and waiting for likes.

not quite hentai but i made fetish stuff on DA for a while and this worked-
Buskers sometimes plant their own money in their guitar cases so people feel more tempted to add to the cash, they feel more comfortable with it if there's already something there.

Anyway, you apply this to your online submissions by making porn or fetish art on your own and putting "COMMISSION" in the title, this means any post of yours that gets any traction also functions as an ad for the fact you're open for business.

Holy fuck dude. I genuinely feel like this is one of the most useful tips I ever got since I started drawing. That never went through my head cuz I hate lying and making up shit, but that might help a lot.
I mean I'm far from popular as I started pretty recently, and I did get requested sometimes, but yeah if I do that shit it might help. Thanks man.

>>3319829
So I have a massive problem with that. I dont enjoy doing the same shit over and over again.
I mean for example I like Adventure Time and feel like I could draw lewd of that cartoon, but I keep going to other series all the time. Draw a girl from Zelda, then draw one from Overwatch, then draw one from whatever else I feel like.
Same as fetish. Draw loli, then draw futa, then draw thicc milf, then draw trap, etc...
Maybe I should change that, I'm not sure.

Using Adventure Time as an example:

You don't really have to stick with it forever or even do it exclusively. As long as you market yourself as such and push out relevant content enough, you can establish yourself as "that artist that does those lewd adventure time pictures" even if you do some non-adventure time stuff as well. Once you have a following, you can do whatever you want.

Also, for fetishes, you can do lol/futa/thicc Adventure Time. Adventure Time is also decent because there's a lot of obscure princesses that probably have zero art at all.

Thinking of some examples now, Om is pretty much the go-to guy for Sayaka (Ape Escape) porn but he does lots of other stuff too.

oden is a semi-obscure artist that I became a fan of because of his insane amount of Medli fanart. He hasn't really drawn her lately but I still like his stuff.

Ikuta Takanon (Hinaprin) did a bunch of Spice and Wolf Doujinshi back in the day which made me a fan. She hasn't done any Horo since but I still follow her.

Very very few artists are truly exclusive to some particular fandom/fetish. You just want to be able to grab a particular group's attention to help you grow at first.

I actually put some thought into it before.
I tried to draw some Pokemon furries, but like I said I always end up drawing different stuff everytime.
Right now I'm working on my own hentai game and I'm gonna draw girls of all kinds for it, from furries to demons and whatever else.
I feel like if I focused in only one type of fetish I would do better but at the same time it could get boring for me and wouldnt be as fun.
Guess I will try to think hard on something that I enjoy enough to draw a lot of it just to have a title like "that guy who draws characters from this series".

Do the first lesson or two of draw a box. I hope your tablet is at least medium sized. After that, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgDNDOKnArk

Digital is actually really easy and intuitive once you learn the tools and it's not as far off from traditional as you might think. I recommend the starter tutorials by CtrlPaint too if you can find a way to get them. You can still use the books that people recommend, you'll actually have an easier time turning them into finished pieces by inking or painting over them down the road. Worry about lines, drawing, and edges now. Then when you feel ready move on to painting in value (grayscale) and eventually color.

Make getting your proportions sit your number one priority right now. Learn the landmarks which help with figuring out proportions and do gesture drawings everyday for 30 mins to an hour everyday, gesture is great for the beginning of your drawing session. Gestural drawing helps greatly with getting proportions right and is paramount for any animator or figurative artist and is one of the greatest ways to give life to your drawing.

I have this doubt about building a fanbase as an artist.
At this point in time I have just a couple fans and I feel some type of pressure where if I posted arts more often like at least one each one or two days I will be growing faster, but whenever I draw I find myself putting way too much effort in details that most fans might not even notice.
So for anyone who been there whats the best to do when starting? Quality over quantity or the opposite? Needless to say the faster I grow the better for me. Once I have a decent following I will draw whoever I want and see who stays, or maybe I will keep doing what works I dunno, but I'm new to this so I wanna know whats best.

So /ic/ I'm about to sign a ~20k contract for a comic project. I get no royalties because "my name doesn't sell yet" even though that's completely unrelated to copyrighting, but I'm fine with that since it's about 2 months of fairly easy work for a pretty big sum (profits will be of a million+ though.)

The thing that's quite strange to me is the fact that the contract states that if I ever decided to stop midway, for any reason, I would be liable to take on and reimburse all the financial loss this project might have generated in terms of spending.

Is that usual for a comic project, I've signed multiple contracts and this one is my first big one but it has me wondering, is this too big of a leash? Or is that just normal procedure and i'm not used to it yet?

well they're a pretty successful studio, and they guaranteed payment within 10 days of any turned over work. If they don't pay I can always sue, we don't really have a "copyright" term in Europe, it's a bit more akin to intellectual property and it's taken very seriously, so they can't gain or use anything from not paying.

I'm using these pigment liners in pic related and I found that while I use them, the tip seems to get flattened/misshapen really easily, over only just a couple days, and then the ink doesn't really flow well anymore and I get scratchy lines, sometimes even no lines. I don't even press ridiculously hard or anything.

Is this normal? It this particular brand just soft? Any better alternatives?

So your question prompted me to do some quick research since I have also experienced those issues both with Microns and with Staedtler fineliners (I just bought myself a new set exactly like the one you posted).

I think the solution is simply to apply a lot less pressure. It's fine to go a bit harder *occasionally*, but if you push too hard on them all the time you'll end up busting the pens.

My scratchy lines would appear after running the pen over the same spot over and over again (grinding lines for Peter Han's course), but it was a much rare issue with regular drawing. I just tried and laid down a whole bunch of lines on the same spot for like 5 minutes, which was usually enough to give me issues, BUT with a much lighter hand: no ink flow problems whatsoever.

Also try holding the pen at a slight angle and not at a 90 degree angle to the paper, this will help making the nibs stay pointy longer.

All that said, most people seemed to agree that these pens will only last a few weeks or maybe a few months with constant use, so don't be too surprised if they die sooner than other pens.

When working with color (digital), how does it fir into your workflow?
Do you just sample it on the fly in the color picker (HSB or what?)
Do you have a preset collection of swatches that you regularly use, or do you construct a palette for each project individually?
Do you do any blending off canvas?

I'm at an impasse of sorts, and would greatly appreciate the help!

it all depends on the contrast of the composition , the lighting and the story behind it, if i want a spooky painting i wont use vibrant daylight colors, i will use a soopy combination with maybe darker shadows and some red and green contrast, if the background is desaturaded then my focal point is going to be saturaded duh

its really about your composition, the color is subjective, the thing you need to focus on the most is value and lighting and visual narrative, if you are clear on those aspects when you make the image the color comes easily

i make a color thumbnail and a value thumbnail and decide key things like the effect i need and which proportion of each hue and what saturation contrast i need, then i draw the final art, paint the values and paint over the colors over the grayscale then edit as i need and paint over in normal layers for details and subtler hue shifts

i don´t need to stick to an specific pallette, just know what i am going after, the actual colors in the final art i get to after many edits but i always stick to the original plan i set in the thumnails.

depends, i use color, overlay and multiply modes depending to what i need.

If you simply add color layers it will look dull no matter how good the values are, so i may add an overlay layer to add some temperature to a midtone or multiply to darken the background with a complimentary color, sometimes i use screen mode for a bloom effect or to add extra highlights.

Those layers modes are usefull because you can play with opacity and also edit the adjustment layer to try different proportions or contrast with clipping masks for different parts of the image.

But no matter the combination of layers i use i usually end up adding a normal layer on top to do the final refinements and correct some of the aberrations or clipping that may occur. I usually leave the more saturated hues for the normal mode layer.

Of course, when i am doing studies i usually choose to do direct color and try not to use editing , that way i can have better control and learn to visualize what i want.

No, and here is why...

See that "$10" value you're getting? Looks like a deal, huh? That's the marketing behind udemy. All courses are at $10.00 98% of the time throughout the year. So why the $149.99 price point? Is it really that much in value?

Exactly. The price point is set high to give you the illusion that it's worth more than what you're about to pay for. It's not. It's actually worth the $10. This is psychology for the consumer.

>but but 133,310 students are taking the course!!!!1!

The thing is though, the course lecture makes little to no money as majority of your sales go through ((((affiliates)))). So udemy takes a percentage, an affiliate takes most of the sale and the teacher makes $2 to $4 per purchase. If anything the scam is on the company or individual contributing to that site. You're better off using gumroad.

Ah, sorry. Just panicking a lil. It's a digital studio class. We've basically been learning how to use photoshop CC and animate in cool ways. I learned a lot but as per usual I have big dreams yet suck at properly conceptualizing it, as well deciding on anything concrete.

The assignment is fairly open-ended. To create a piece of media like...a gif/animation, rotoscope, animation (2d or 3d). Under 1:30, but over 10 seconds.

I wanted to do something cool and preferably not too tedious - like rotoscoping - but daaamn.

I am getting a cheap ass tablet soon so that'll help a bit.

Ok I might be too tired to function or something but I can't find a way to add a quick acess menu in Clip Studio Paint.
Can someone open the program, click on Window > Menu > Quick Acess? I don't have that and don't know how to enable it. I thought I needed to create a set first by clicking the little arrow above tools section but I can't find a way to do that either.

How do I add this shit?

I asked in on of the only two threads talking about sculpting, but they seem completely dead, so I'll repost it here:

Hello, I'm interested in sculpting and was curious to know how to start.

A lot of my interest came out of seeing various hentai artists getting figures made of their characters and I always saw images of the progress that goes into making them.
I like porn, but I think most of my interest in sculpting would be more towards guro and maybe some sexually related ideas.

Anyways, I was curious on what are the necessary materials such as types of clay, tools, paints, etc. and how to obtain them.

I've gathered that I need something called Polymer clay, although I also saw something called super putty or something like that? Would Play-Doh be a good starting point? As for tools, I'm not sure if there are brands that I should look out for, but I was expecting to get them off eBay or something, although if there are stores that I can walk into to buy the materials, that would be much preferred, be it for the tools or the sculpting material.
As for paint, I saw something about acrylic? Are different colored clays a thing that would be necessary because I've seen a few instances where people do that, or is that a preference for making the painting process easier? I also watched videos where people use wires or what looks like aluminum foil inside the clay, is this for structure when sculpting?
Also, is utilizing the oven required or is that just for certain sculpting material?

As you can tell, I'm new when it comes to this type of stuff, art in general, and I guess I just don't want to jump right into this and be overwhelmed with expensive materials only tk end up failing and quit very early on, so any info and tips would be very welcomed, especially if it's just direct links to guides, videos, or something and don't want to bother giving me the time of day, I imagine it's annoying to explain stuff to newbies.

Thank you for your time.

I bought a Figma "Thinking Man" and I like it a lot. It's can't do EVERY pose, but it's close enough that my knowledge of anatomy can fill in the blanks.

If you're willing to use 3D software rather than a physical poseable figures, something like DAZ3D can do in a pinch. I use both real and 3D models; whichever is more helpful for a particular task.

Assuming you're not interesting in digital sculpture, I personally recommend something like Sargent Art Plastilina Modeling clay over playdough (PD) IF you are wanting to reuse it. PD will dryout and harden pretty easily. That's fine if that's what you want, but assuming you'd like to just have a few pounds of practice material, that modeling clay will remain pliable and soft no matter how long it sits out (just don't get it wet).

Starting out, some simple cheap wooden tool are fine. As you start to get more and more experience, you'll naturally start exploring more tool and the like. Just don't spend a lot till you've got some hours into it.

That's all I got.

I didn't consider this, having reusable clay may be helpful for a beginner like myself, I always thought that much of what I would work with would constantly dry up and I'd have to start from square one each time.
I don't mind that, but your option sounds more convenient for an beginner.
The only other concern I have is just the overall hardness of the clay as I'd like something that isn't too soft so I'd be able to get in every detail I wish without worry of my sculpture falling apart in the end, that and as I stated in my original post, i would also enjoy painting my works as well.
Needless to say, thank you so much.

Unless the commissioners has tits or manufactures bras, it's likely the cup size they give is arbitrary. Cup size depends on your ribcage (a bra size is essentially circumference of your breasts minus circumference of your ribcage), so saying someone has double Ds would be fairly small if their rib cage is 38 inches.

It's easier for you to ask if they have a photo reference for the bust size they want.

I like it when my family is all home from work/school and settled in, then I think I get a lot more confident with them around. I noticed this these days.

Cause my paintings look farrrr worse than my drawings and I think this is part of the reason. It's probably worth doing several small studies of edge control, but I thought I might ask.

I get that the position of the station point can be arbitrary, but if the station point in the picture would've been placed further away, the 30VP for example wouldn't have that degree

Is there some kind of eldritch secret to drawing with one of these nib pen things? I have a speedball holder with a bunch of different nibs, speedball ink, and winsor and newton ink.

I cannot get the ink to flow consistently at all. I dip the pen in the ink, I can see that there is a blob of ink sitting in the nib, I go to make a line, and at most I'll get like a little bit to come out if any does. If I try to load the nib up more it all just runs out at once onto the paper.

I don't get it at all. I'm watching people do it on youtube, I'm copying exactly what they're doing, and I'm just not getting anything. I try different nibs, the same thing, I try angling the pen different ways, pressing down harder, nothing.

Should I be diluting my ink or something? I just don't understand why it won't flow down the nib when I try to make a line. It's either nothing, or it all comes out at once.
