How do you organize layers? I mean, each artist as its own way to do it, but is there any example of "best practice" for beginners like me?

>what's the difference between appreciating male beauty and the grooming of gay thoughts to one's mind?
Well you can't make someone gay, I can appreciate male beauty and can spot attractive features in men, but I wouldn't kiss, suck dick or butt-fuck a man. As far a futa, I can only get off to it if only one girl has a dick and the other girl doesn't. Though that only works in anime, I'd never jerk it to a real trannie fucking a women. Some things only work in fantasy.

My pirated photoshop CC 2017 is suddenly giving me a "not authentic" notice.

It's literally never done this in the year or 2 I've had it. I can still use it but I get the feeling it's eventually going to lock up on me.

Is this a new thing? Anyone else run into something similar and is there a fix besides not having the internet on or something.

If you have enough memory, use as many layers as you want.

I personally will use a new layer to try something out, if it works I merge down. I try to use as few layers as possible and at some point I always force myself to merge down so that I don't wade in indecision for the entire piece.

Another method is just to duplicate. You work on basically 1 layer, and then duplicate it when you're about to refine. Refine that, and if you mess up you always have the blocking/underwork in the previous layer. If you're happy/satisfied with what you've done, you can delete the first layer and now your new layer that is refined is your 'fall back' layer. Duplicate it and repeat.

Obviously this is a very personal thing. If I'm drawing, its' way simpler.

If doing an underdrawing, that's one layer. Inks are a second layer. It's only when I do painting that I do the other stuff. On extremely rare occassions I will ink something twice.

So one layer is the first inks, second layer is me inking it again to see if I like it better. I think it's super rare for me to like the second ink or any subsequent ink better than the first one.

I very rarely do the above.

My current place doesn't have any commercial atelier for me to attend, but I need to draw human figure from life. Anyone has experience on how to hire models for drawing? How much do you pay to hire a nude model? Is it based on hour or session? What do you state in your contract? Is it possible to hire toddlers and young kids and how to pay them?

Delete the bloatware off your computer. Open task manager and go to the file source, rename the .exe files. Then kill the processes, then delete files + empty recycle bin.

This is going to sound horrible but... taking secret photos of random strangers. XD Or if you need a really special pose/angle you may want to try a family member and ask them to pose for you.

You can always adjust the drawing to suit your character.

When going out in public try for interesting angles, like being up high in a mall or something and photographing people who are down below, that sort of thing can be cool.

Don't do it to be a creep, but technically the photos will be YOURS and unless you're copying that persons exact likeness, you're not doing anything wrong... I mean, I guess that's up to your conscience.

I figure if I change the person enough it won't matter and they'll never know. I mean what are the odds. "I swear that's me in that comic book! I sit like that! I eat like that! There was an artist hiding a few seats away eating noodles and drawing. I knew it! I knew it!"

I have a varnishing dilemma:

I have an unvarnished oil painting (with a black acrylic background). I want to make it glossier and darken the black, but I want to maintain the work's blurry low contrast aesthetic.

Is there a type of (glossy) varnish I can use that will darken colors without effecting contrast?

Or should I scumble over the whole thing in a wash of black,white or grey beforehand, in order to counteract the saturation / contrast that will come when applying a glossy varnish?

No, that's the point of showing you the sketch. So you can request any changes before they really begin filling in the details. The sketch phase is just to give you an idea of the finished product, if it's not what you wanted that's where you change it. And most people prefer you speak up now rather than complain to people after they finish without ever telling them it was wrong from the start.

Its up to the artist, most won't have a problem with it though.
I know a few artists get annoyed when the same guy requests weird shit all the time and they're constantly drawing for him, but at the end of the day you're the one paying for it.

But they also might like what you're commissioning so they'll be glad you're coming back and paying, depends on the person and artist. There's no "rules" on it though.

Drawing from your shoulder is not a meme. It's going to give you cleaner lines. Anything goes as long as you have a light hand.
For brushwork I don't really know, I've been doing inks and watercolors and I sawed off all my brush handles to carry them in a pencil case. It doesn't really make a difference except with rigger brushes that need to be held by the very tip of the handle for best results

go copic or go home. other alcohol markers don't compare. a ciao set or individual/loose set based on videos or recommendations are a good start. they're cheaper than sketch and the only real drawback is no labels on the caps (they're round but don't roll because of a stud they have )on one end. watercolor as someone else mentioned is also a good cheap alternative.

you don't need microns, they were just recommending fineliners. i personally find 0.5 too thick and lean toward 0.1 and 0.3, you can go over a line to get it thicker. not sure of your location but a combination of dick blick and amazon is usually the cheapest place to find supplies like copics and microns. single copics in my experience are cheaper at blick.

I want to build a portfolio cause I think it's a good exercise even at a shitty level (forces me to finish stuff which I basically never do, plus some people actually sell on some communities with beg level I could produce if I commited to it and started finishing and polishing stuff).
Thing is, I don't know where to start. My mindset has always been try everything, work in short spikes of energy, so I never commit to finish something.
I need a frame and my brain's to retarded and keeps picking different things to learn all over the place and draw doodles from imagination.

tl;dr : I want a frame to make finished stuff so my idea is asking something like : give me suggestions about 3 or 5 (to start with) finished types of pieces to do so I can make a very basic jack of all trade portfolio.

Or any other advices regarding my situation I guess, but I figured I have to admit my brain can't do it alone (at least not right now) and I work better when prompted (I actually like brainstorming over stuff, just not coming up with basic ideas)

Huh, that's interesting. Yeah, the saturation started to change once I dropped the Lightness slider into the negatives.

It seems that the Sat and Lightness sliders of the H/S/V filter modifies both the Saturation and Value component of HSV altogether.
So if a color component (the Value in my example) is already maxed out, the filters will fail to increase the Saturation when needed, since the filter wants to increase both components (Saturation and Value) altogether.

So by decreasing the Lightness first, it gives the filter a little bit of "breathing room" for it to actually increase the Saturation.
At least, that's my theory.

gouache probably. you can rework it after it wets and it's pretty matte. it's what illustrators used before digital was a thing. you can even dilute it enough and it behaves like watercolor.

acrylic dries really fast and just feels shitty to me. it's cheap enough where you can get both. you really shouldn't be oil painting unless you learn from someone because a lot of it can be toxic. you need ventilation and to be careful with some of the things like gamsol or the oils themselves.

Keep em few and be confident in your work. Usually 600 layers comes from being indecisive.
Sometimes if you are working on a project that demands lots of layers folders and color coding(if your program allows) is very useful. Other than that make a pattern that makes sense logically and name your damn layers.

From a physical therapist view, fixed postures tend to create a negative impact on your health, specially in the low back and shoulder area.
The "good" posture is always the next, don't create a posture to stay 1, 2 or even 3 hours.
Now, about how a posture would help to you draw better, it's different for everyone, because it envolves about motor skills development.
This starts when you are a child and it modifies in your entire life.

It feels about the same, you can halfway do something but you don't know why and it isn't good. Back to nature, back to basics.

You learn to *see* the construction of the reference, and once you have it placed down, you can then start applying the superficial information you see like value, texture, and color.
Though honestly everything besides construction is open to subjective interpretation and can be heavily distorted without the piece being ruined. Focus on form, everything else is secondary.

The important is to not stay too long in a position/posture, take a break within 1 hour and half or less.
It's important to take a break, it's better for your health and it's better for to stop and see what you're drawing. This way you see what you doing wrong with your work, at least it works for me.

Yes I'm aware but it's a much better place to get started. I didn't learn in that order but I think it's a friendlier course for newer artists. I have no problem with studying perspective and anatomy but I know a lot of artists are retards with no attention span who give up the first sign that something takes time. My order of learning was Dodson, Vilppu, How To Draw, some Bargue, Scott Eaton anatomy, then Hampton and Bridgman. I did more things along the way like ctrl paint for digital, studies, some Watts and assorted jp books but I'd recommend that progression to newcomers.

The best rule for drawing teeth is don't draw teeth. You want to draw or paint in tones and work on the negative space around the teeth. Teeth really aren't common in portraiture as they tend to look unnatural and models don't pose holding expressions very long. There are exceptions though.

I feel as though I've "plateau'd ", I know I could be a lot better than I currently am and I feel it, but I have no idea where to go or where I should focus my attention. There's just so many more things to learn I feel overwhelmed and intimidated. The work I make almost always involves me working at what feels like 20% of my focus and ability. I don't want to sound egotistical or all knowing but I KNOW I could doing a lot better, even now. It's a mental block or some shit; I just don't know how to go about pushing myself.

Digital if you want to learn an entirely new paradigm, watercolor if you're a masochist, acrylic if you can't afford oil and don't mind going back to technique before oil existed it dries so fast. I'm all for spending 30 bucks on a cheap pan set, some decent brushes and okay paper but what you want to do is up to you.

Old dead guys, your favorite porn artist, and some contemporary you like. Trad is an investment. Watercolor is affordable, you just have to like the results and consider "under 200 bucks" affordable. I'd just stick with digital, everything is easier once you can actually draw.

Yes. Brush pens are for portability or immediacy. Brush and ink is superior in the studio because you can control the load and dilution of the ink so you can get washes. They're both good to have but you typically use technical pen ink for the brush pen and india or sumi ink with brush.

Related question. I'm thinking of posting under two handles, my real name and a pseudonym. I want to post regular fantasy/sci-fi/horror type illustrations (i.e. artstation safe stuff) under my real name and nsfw art with my pseudonym. The idea is that if someone google searches either handle the respective art should show up.

However, I don't actually care for the privacy aspect, and I'd like to be able to cross post some of my more mildly nsfw cheesecake stuff under my real name aswell. Would this be confusing? Should I just post everything under my real name? Ideally I'd like to be a Frazetta type of artist with a mix of epic fantasy paintings and pin-ups.

Ok that's fair, but I think that if someone impatiently wants to learn how to draw people, their impatience won't be satiated by having more hurdles put in front of them before they're even really able to start. But I agree that trying to learn something difficult like anatomy from the start will also cause enough frustration to cause a lot to quit really early if they aren't helped by previous, more fundamental ideas. I guess that there's not really 1 universal path. I think that NMA has been talking about drawing up such a path for years but even they can't figure out how to go about doing so.

How important is it to take notes when studying? I'd much rather do rapid fire 10 minute studies of RL or artwork to cram as much manual work as possible. I know it's important to think through the study material, but as long as I'm working it through in my mind is it really necessary to take the time and write shit down?
Also I never look back at my studies other than to quickly glance and gauge my progress. Is it better to spend time reviewing your studies or use that time to draw some more instead?

Just have a running diary in a simple txt file and write a entry (remember to put the date) every now and then whenever you feel like you have some new insights and ideas or you feel stuck etc. It doesn't have to take longer than posting on /ic/. Sorting out your thoughts in text is one of the best things you can do. By the way, a tip that works for me - write as if you are communicating with another person. If you have an idea, write that as if you have are trying to explain it to someone else. I've previously made the mistake of writing cryptic notes that made sense at the time but were proven to be incrompehensible to me at a later date.

how many followers are we talking about? how many actually care about your tweets?

when the time comes you could tweet something about the raffle and make it so liking that tweet grants an entry (maybe retweeting grants another, thats up to you). then you open the notepad and add each entry and number it. then go to random.org and generate a number between 1 and the total number of entries. the number that it generates wins.

but if your following is big it might be alot of trouble writing down each entry

the "easiest" one that comes to mind. im sure there are a bunch of websites for that but those usually require creating an account to enter

How do you break out of bad habits/instinctively trying to draw a certain way?

When I was a kid I would draw a lot of Sonic, and now it's stuck and now everything I do looks relatively sonic-like unless I really force myself to avoid it as hard as possible.

I've been struggling with bad habits too. I think you just have to force yourself to do things properly until you gain an appreciation for the proper way of doing things. The more you do it the more success you have and the easier it get to say to yourself 'I will be happier doing it this way.' It's all about overcoming that initial hurdle though.

Another take on it: If you do a lot of Sonic then you have a lot of Sonic influences and little else. You need to diversify your influences. I think most artists study a lot of other artists and from that soup arises a personal style. So start studying many different artists, and also from real life. You don't have to take apart your Sonic influences, but drown it out a little with other insights.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 30 21:32:03 2019 No.3790654 >>3790638 Well I'd like to be able to draw more than just Sonic. It's been years since I did it, so I was surprised that it still had such an influence on how I draw. Anyway your advice makes sense, thanks Anon.

Grinding an artist does some interesting things to your work. I have residual bits from fuck knows what floating around in mine, I think it's Regis Loisel. Took a lot of master studies and doujin to level it out and clean it up. There used to be this advice floating around, "don't copy shitty artists" that reminds me of what happens.

2 ways
1)Fight it as hard as possible. erase when it's too sonic, work really hard to do the most antisonic you can

or

2)You'll get better as you improve and eventually nobody will see the style through and you be good enough to just replace the style.

autodesk has a drawing program on there and there are a few good pixel art programs but procreate is something pretty much unheard of. It's so good that it made people switch to apple based on that program alone, you probably won't find anything close to it around non pc drawing apps

flashcs3 hands down, nobody has the timeline and features down like it, but on the other hand it's vector and the brush isn't for everyone. It also exports swfs that need to be converted outside to mp4 using swivel but it's the tool I'm most comfortable with.
I'd say try krita and open toonz cause free software and free software that's used by Miyazaki

not unless you use screenless tablets but you have to consider the fact the registration and input are never perfect. However you should still get a digital tablet. Having both is the best. Being able to make a quick line fix here and there is fantastic. Even junji ito has one to make edits to his drawings.

the better the tablet the finer the details you can produce and the more control you have. the grid is smaller, finer, and more responsive. Can you use a crappy tablet, yes, I do too, but a better tablet could potentially cut you a lot of time and help take off some of the limitations that digital can have to some degree.
nice drawing btw

More about your organic followers and interaction than your follower count. If you have 9000 followers but usually 5 of them like tweets you won't get much out of it, but if you have 700 but you get 50 likes on a single post every post you'd blow up with a raffle.

Newgrounds is a really good choice as long as you can actually get scouted. You'll have lots of eyes on your works as long as they are good enough for someone who's already scouted to scout you into the portal. Your images are kept at full res which is huge
twitter is always good too

Your grasp on the fundamental's alright but your faces are atrocious In general your work is incredibly ugly and stiff. Work on some caricature or cartoony faces to really loosen your idea of the human structure up you are thinking about it too rigidly.

>expression
draw where the landmarks will land in the situation (possibly even exaggerate their position) and then build the muscle around them.
>teeth
have a solid understanding on the detail distribution of your style. you don't draw every hair or folicle so you shouldn't draw every tooth. no infograph I know of, just practice a lot of open and expressive mouths.

Makes sense goodlcuk... although... There are still 2 things I could recommend from my own experience
1) Put the flash brush on 30 or 20 or 10 and put it on the second lowest size settings
2) draw traditionally and alias your work. I personally do that. screw animating digitally, if you do go down the animation rabbit hole I wholeheartedly recommend trying to do that. The aliasing function is under threshold.

I don't know, but the fact it has people ditching photoshop and their 3000 dollar tablets and get a useless piece of junk apple product just so they could use the damn app.
They managed to make an app into an actual competitor with real drawing programs.

Oh by the way I just remembered, there is that one japanese program on android. I think it's called ibispaint x Pretty solid.

Consider the hue of your object and the hue of your light source.
If your light source is yellow, everything in light will hue shift towards yellow and everything in shadow will hue shift away from yellow (to blue). The shift is stronger the further apart the hues are. The shift is also stronger when the light is stronger.
You can use cold lights like blue too, which create something like gloomy neon lit scenes.

Artistic choice is the #1 priority, in my opinion. But you might be thinking of color temperatures and color theory:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory#Warm_vs._cool_colors
or the fact that hue and value are tied together:

Animation is drawing keyframes and putting them in a series. Tweening is when instead of redrawing each keyframe, you arrange parts of the image in separate graphics and move/warp those graphics around between frames.

>>3792060
It looks like a standard round brush with size linked to pressure and opacity. The painting was also done with the same linework brush and an additional squareish brush, but it has the same properties. It's very basic. Additionally there's a texture on top.

What do you guys do when you get to a boring part of a drawing? I'm drawing a fence right now for part of a bigger illustration and it just feels lame, not to mention visually uninteresting. Do you guys enjoy every part of the drawing or do you just have to power through the boring parts?

I wanted to start an anonymous blog.
Thinking about making one detailing my weekly or daily journey trying to get better in art.

I couldn't even draw bad sonic fan fiction if I wanted too.

The appealing idea is that it would be cool to look back in 5 years and have my progress documented and maybe would be able to have some fans. Is this an awful idea
